Chapter 343

As soon as this statement came out, most of the people present were shocked.

Especially Yao Xiang.

She is the most clear about how much medicine was given to Wan Meiren. Those medicines were enough to cause Wan's miscarriage, but they were not enough to make her infertile again.

Could it be that Chu Yun wanted to trample the queen to death, so he doubled the dose of medicine without authorization?

It's a pity that Chuyun is not a first-class court lady, and she didn't accompany the queen, so she couldn't ask in time.

But it's not a big problem, it can be regarded as once and for all to make Wan Shi unable to have children in the future.

After thinking about this, Yao Xiang stabilized himself.

But another surprise was the Queen.

It's just that unlike Yao Xiang, she didn't know how much medicine Chuyun gave her, so she was shocked when she heard that Wan Meiren would not be able to have children.

This was more ruthless than she expected.

But at the moment, these small thoughts are not very noticeable, and several imperial doctors trusted by Ning Chen are checking all the things that Wanmeiren can touch one by one.

Finally, bone powder was found in the half bowl of soup that Wan Meiren hadn't finished.

As the name suggests, it is a powder that can melt even bones. This is a drug that is more poisonous than musk and safflower. Just a little bit can not only turn the fetus in a woman's body into blood, but also hurt the woman's roots, making her unable to have children anymore. .

By this time, Yao Xiang finally realized something was wrong, because what she gave Chuyun was only red pollen, not bone-forming powder.

I'm afraid there are still people who have tampered with this matter in the dark.

For a while, Yao Xiang did not dare to act without authorization.

She didn't even know who was involved when she didn't know, or how much the other party knew about the whole thing.

There was a chill and tightness in the back, which was too dangerous.

Originally, he wanted to add fuel to the flames with words, but now he can only choose not to say anything, in order to reduce his sense of existence.

I just hope that the person who secretly participated in it didn't realize that she was also a part of it.

It is disgraceful that something like this happened in the harem.

Ning Chen dismissed the banquet immediately and asked all the clan and royal relatives to go back.

In fact, everyone wanted to leave as soon as possible. It's better to know less about this royal secret.

Only the people in the harem remained in the palace, and Ning Chen spoke coldly.

"Let me investigate this soup. Anyone who has touched this soup will be arrested and interrogated."

Yuan Jiu took the order and immediately went back.

Starting from the maid in charge of serving Wanmeiren, she followed the clues and found the dining room.

A group of people were quickly arrested.

On the other side, Ning Chen didn't have the slightest intention to let everyone leave, they all sat at the scene, and no one could leave.

Wan Meiren in the side hall fainted from the pain. When she woke up again, she heard that the child was gone, and she couldn't bear another child. She cried like a human being, and passed out again.

After such a lot of twists and turns, Yuan Jiu finally finished the interrogation and came back.

It's just that his complexion is not good.

Ning Chen lowered his eyes, "Tell me, what did those slaves confess to?"

"Back to the emperor, the kitchen lady who is in charge of cooking soup and adding firewood has recruited, she"

"What do you hesitate to do, don't hurry up." The queen mother urged impatiently.

Yuan Jiu gritted his teeth and said simply.

"She said that Ming Shunyi ordered her to give her a generous sum of money, a total of 100 taels. She wanted to take it back and use it for her two brothers to study, so she had evil thoughts, and the slaves had already searched her residence. When half of the silver is reached, the other half is said to have been handed out of the palace to the family."

"Bastard!" Ning Chen yelled angrily immediately, "Such a random biting, you can examine carefully, and dare to keep her telling the truth? Ming Shunyi has always been kind, how could he do such a thing."

"The emperor calm down, the servant has not come to torture, and he still doesn't know the truth." Yuan Jiu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly knelt down.

Ye Yun, who was sitting below, was moved, and looked at Ning Chen with a little more complicated eyes.

It is true that she did not do this matter, but she did not expect that Ning Chen already trusted her so much, even if he had given the 'evidence' in front of everyone in the harem, he would react like this.

"Emperor, the Ai family knows that you love Ming Shunyi, but now that Wanmei has been harmed like this, and the court lady has already pleaded guilty, what kind of injustice can there be?"

The queen mother narrowed her cloudy eyes and said coldly.

"For this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Ming Shunyi specially changed the dishes. It is not difficult for her to connect with the people in the dining room and collude. From Aijia's point of view, the emperor should not be deceived by others because of his own personal interests."

Ye Yun was so favored and gave birth to a prince, but it was not just a thorn in the side of the queen and many concubines.

The empress dowager wanted to support her own people to the throne, even if her niece was not favored so far, she was only Jieyu and had no children, but this did not prevent the empress dowager from wanting to remove the stumbling block for Chen Jieyu first.

What's more, the gradual rise of the Ye family and the Chu family has already competed for part of the interests of the Chen family.

The British Duke also secretly mentioned this matter with the Queen Mother, which was not allowed by the Queen Mother.

"Your majesty, this concubine is not afraid of the slanting shadow, and dares to confront the court lady who identified her. If this concubine really murdered Wan Meiren, she will be crushed to pieces. She will never be able to hold her head up again!"

Ye Yun stood up, her back straightened, her eyes were sharp, and she met Ning Chen's eyes without dodging at all.

This kind of her made Ning Chen believe it even more.

"Yuan Jiu, bring that court lady, be careful not to let her commit suicide, if she dies, I will ask you to be buried with her."

"Yes, the slave is going now." Yuan Jiu cupped his hands and got up quickly.

He understands what the emperor means, and this is to find out clearly.

After all, if the court lady died, the clues would be broken, and the hat on Ming Shunyi's head would not be easy to remove.

So as soon as Yuan Jiu went to the place where the criminal slaves were held, he took out the cloth stuffed in the mouth of the palace lady Lingjiao, and asked someone to remove her chin first.

This is to prevent her from biting her tongue. Although it will also affect her speech, it is not serious.

Back in the hall, Ye Yun added another sentence, "Please ask my father-in-law to check if there is any poison in her mouth. When I was young, I heard from my father and brother that if there is a dead man, there is poison in the mouth. suicide."

If biting the tongue is not hard enough, you can't die for a while, but swallowing poison is okay.

"Check it soon." Ning Chen followed immediately.

This is what backing up means.

With his protection, the queen mother didn't dare to speak for a while, the queen was already stern, and she dared not.

Yuan Jiu asked people from the Punishment Department to investigate together, and sure enough, a black pill the size of peppercorns was found in the tooth socket of water chestnut.

The imperial doctor tested it, and it was indeed a poison, and it could kill you instantly if you bite it.

Ye Yun's move naturally proved his innocence to a certain extent.

However, the queen still kept her guard up.

When Chu Yun came into contact with this court lady, he was never seen face to face from the beginning to the end, and he always claimed to be someone close to Ye Yun.

So no matter how interrogated, the court lady would only say that Ming Shunyi ordered her to do so.

Because that's all she knows.

 We're going to start delivering box lunches tomorrow.
