Medical Concubine Wrongly Married: Please Enter the Urn

Chapter 404 Witness?

"Your Majesty, the slave has not found any clues after several days of investigation, but there is one thing that the slave dare not refuse to report." Zhu Lu followed the emperor's order to investigate the Queen's poisoning, but in the past few days, he did not find any clues. Nothing suspicious was found, only one thing was wrong.

"What's the matter? Let's hear it."

"Yes, the emperor's servants did not find anything wrong with the queen's daily food, and the soup that poisoned the queen was used by the queen every day, so there was nothing wrong with it, and the queen was poisoned. The time is not long. During that time, Princess Yuqin was the only one who had contact with the Empress, and Princess Yuqin also knew that the Empress had this habit."

"Bastard!"

Hearing this, Zhu Lu immediately knelt on the ground and said without hesitation, "I know I was wrong, but I dare not lie to the emperor about such things."

"Did you know that the reason why Prince Yu was able to enter the palace that day was because of the queen's summons. If not, how could Princess Yu have predicted when she would enter the palace and when she would have contact with the queen?"

"Slave, I know that the emperor will not believe these things, and I also don't believe it in my heart. It's just that people in the queen's palace said it myself, so I have to tell the emperor the truth."

"What did the people in the Queen's Palace say?"

"Yes, it's a person from the Queen's Palace. This person is kneeling outside the palace and waiting for the emperor to summon him."

"Come in."

After the emperor gave permission, Zhu Lu got up and walked out quickly, bringing in the witness from the queen's palace.When the servant saw the emperor, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "My servant Zhixiang pays homage to the emperor."

"Are you a servant in the Queen's Palace? Tell me everything you know, and if you don't tell the truth, will you know the consequences?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the servant is on duty in the queen's palace. The queen treats the servant very kindly, and the servant will definitely answer truthfully without daring to say a half-truth."

"Very well, let's talk and listen."

After the emperor interrogated the lady-in-waiting, he asked Zhu Lu to take the lady-in-waiting down but did not put her back in the Queen's Palace, "Zhu Lu, go to Prince Yu's mansion and invite Princess Yu into the palace. If Prince Yu wants to accompany you There is no need to stop it."

"Your servant obeys the order. Now go and invite Princess Yu into the palace."

"Remember that I want you to come here, don't be rude to the princess."

The emperor took a deep breath, regardless of whether this matter was done by Princess Yu or not, since there is something involved at the moment, someone must ask someone to find out.On the other hand, the emperor guessed in his heart that even if Prince Yu and his wife had any unruly intentions, they would definitely not take such a big risk to poison the palace. Unknowingly.The emperor's heart was more inclined to think that this matter was nothing more than a harem competition, but he was also very surprised why Prince Yu and Princess Yu were involved.

The emperor asked Zhu Lu to invite people into the palace, so Zhu Lu naturally wanted to invite people into the palace, and the emperor expected well. At this time, Prince Yu would naturally not let Prince Yu and Princess Yu enter the palace alone. about the Queen.Zhu Lu went back to the palace with the two of them and came directly to see the emperor.

"The younger brother (concubine) pays respects to the emperor."

"Get up and sit down." It can be seen that the emperor has been waiting for a long time, seeing him and his wife at this time are even more unwilling to exchange too many greetings and get straight to the point. "Princess Yu was called into the palace today because of the poisoning of the queen. Presumably, Princess Yu had heard about it on the way here."

When Qi Yunliang heard the emperor's words, he wanted to stand up and salute again, but was stopped by the emperor, "Princess Yuqin is inconvenient now, so it's better to just answer directly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. A few days ago, my concubine did go to the palace to talk to the empress. After all, the Emperor also knew about it."

The emperor nodded his head in agreement, after all he told Prince Yu himself, so he was very clear about this matter and it was only five or six days ago.

"After entering the palace that day, the concubine went to the queen mother's place to pay her respects to the queen mother. It happened that the empress was also there, so the concubine returned to the empress palace with the empress. After talking with the empress, she got up and left. I don't know what's wrong with this? Besides, the concubine was accompanied by the maid Qingfeng all the time, and the empress has never left the people who waited by her side." Qi Yunliang recalled it, not panicking slowly He roughly told the emperor what happened that day, and there was nothing wrong with these things in people's ears.

The emperor thought for a while according to what the court lady said, and then asked Princess Yuqin, "Did you stay in the Queen's Palace when you left the Queen's Palace that day?"

After hearing what the emperor said, Qi Yunliang thought for a while, if the so-called stay is just staying in the palace, but not in the queen's palace, "No, the concubine did not stay in the queen's palace after she came out of the queen's palace. Your majesty, I heard that a maid in the Queen's Palace said that she saw me that day, so I wonder if the emperor can call that maid to confront my concubine."

Even if Prince Yu didn't mention the emperor herself, she would naturally confront the two of them face to face, and asked Zhu Lu to bring him up.

"The servant has met the emperor, the prince Yu, and the princess Yuqin."

Qi Yunliang looked at the maid who was lying on the ground and could clearly identify everyone present. Of course, the emperor and Prince Yu didn't need to say much, but she didn't often enter the palace, and the queen hadn't been in the palace for a long time, so she could immediately The person who recognizes himself must not be seeing himself for the first time.And she is very sure that she is not familiar with the people in the queen's palace, even if she is serving the queen, she may not recognize them at a glance.

"I heard that day you saw that I didn't leave the palace directly after saying goodbye to the queen, did you?" Qi Yunliang asked the maid after thinking about it.

"Returning to the words of the princess, slave... how can the slave see it with her own eyes?"

"Oh? I can't remember what happened that day, why don't you tell me, what else did I do that day?"

The court lady was naturally a little nervous when confronting Princess Yu in front of the emperor, and she didn't dare to listen carefully to what Princess Yu asked, but just repeated what she had memorized.

"Princess Yuqin didn't leave directly after bidding farewell to the queen, but stayed in the queen's palace for a long time before leaving with the maids around her. The servants also didn't know why Princess Yuqin stayed for so long, and they didn't I didn’t pay attention to it. It wasn’t until after the empress was poisoned that the maidservant thought it was suspicious and dared to talk to Duke Zhu Lu about it. Princess Yuqin, it’s not that the maidservant wants to make things difficult for you, but if you do something by yourself, you will still be in front of the emperor. Hurry up and admit it."

"Since you can't tell me what I'm doing staying in the Queen's Palace, it means that you haven't seen my whereabouts at all. Since you are not sure about things, why come to the emperor to frame this princess?"

"Your majesty...the slaves don't have any, the slaves only report to the emperor if they feel that Princess Yuqin is really suspicious."

"I don't know what you are worth in the queen's palace?"

"Slaves...do some rough cleaning in...the queen's palace."
