Reborn Daughter Bad

Chapter 295 The Queen
But the emperor didn't intend to give her a chance to hide it at all, and asked, "but what?"

It is a capital crime to deceive the monarch, Huo Tianxin was a little helpless, and looked at Concubine Hua for help.

Concubine Hua Gui sighed, "Your Majesty, this concubine is not sick, but poisoned by the seven scorpions."

"Seven scorpion poison?" The emperor frowned, and looked at Imperial Physician Zeng: "Why is there such a thing in the palace?"

Doctor Zeng cupped his hands and said: "If you go back to the emperor, this is the problem. Even the old minister has never heard of the poison of the seven scorpions."

The emperor frowned even more, and suddenly saw the censer with the lid open and the black incense ash scattered on the side, and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of incense is that, why is it smelling so bad, it seems to have a fishy smell?"

Now it is impossible to hide the truth, Huo Tianxin simply said: "The incense ash in this incense burner is the product of the seven scorpion poison after burning. Someone mixed the seven scorpion poison into the incense that the empress often used, and inhaled this poison over time. Your internal organs have all been damaged."

After finishing speaking, he poured out the string of ebony rosary beads from the cloth bag, "Please look, your majesty, not only the incense used by the empress, but also the pores of this string of rosary beads are filled with ointment mixed with the poison of seven scorpions. The poison of the seven scorpions inhaled by the empress before should not have occurred so quickly. But it was precisely because Ming Ling had been missing for many days that the empress was worried, holding this rosary to pray to Buddha every day, and touching too much poison. It exploded."

The emperor's pupils shrank, and he looked at the string of rosary carefully. After a while, he was shocked and said: "My concubine, are these rosary beads given by the queen?"

Hua Guifei smiled sadly, but did not say anything.

The emperor said sadly: "Because the queen hadn't been out for many years, she felt ashamed and insisted on refusing to take care of the affairs of the six palaces. She wanted to be with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, so I gave her this string of rosary beads. I heard that she gave you this rosary, but I didn't expect that she looks so innocent, but she is such a ruthless person!"

"Your majesty..." Concubine Hua called out sadly, "This concubine does not want to believe that your mother is such a person."

"However, the facts are in front of you, so you can't help but believe it!" The emperor clenched his fists angrily, and shouted angrily: "Go, pass the queen over, I want to see what she has to refute!"

Huo Tianxin pursed his lips, and suddenly stepped forward and knelt down, "Can the emperor listen to my daughter?"

"Why, is it possible that you want to speak well for the queen?" The emperor said displeased: "If I remember correctly, you have never even met the queen, and there is no one in the general's residence who is particularly close to her."

"It is precisely because of this that the court lady dares to speak." Huo Tianxin said neither humble nor overbearing: "It is not the court lady's turn to take care of things in the palace, but the court lady is bold and wants to ask the emperor, as the empress empress, Is it necessary to do this?"

Concubine Huagui's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something, she said softly: "Yes, Xin'er is right. No matter how high the status of a concubine is, she is just a concubine. If the empress despises me, there is no need to manage the six palaces back then. I have entrusted the great power to me, so why bother to pretend to be indifferent to world affairs and secretly inflict harm behind the scenes?"

Originally, she also felt that the queen was the most suspicious.

But after being reminded by Huo Tianxin, he came to his senses.

The queen is not a stupid person, why bother to do such a foolish thing?As long as she has nothing to show, no matter whose prince ascends the throne, it is the same for her.

What's more, among the many concubines, Concubine Hua has the best relationship with the Empress. Even if she needs to support a prince, she should support Ming Ling, which is in her best interest.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and snorted coldly, "Since the finger is pointed at her, she should come out and explain it out of reason. The clean will be clean, and the turbid will be filthy. If she is innocent, no one can wrong her!"

Huo Tianxin whispered secretly, it seemed that Concubine Hua Gui was really favored, and at the same time, it also reflected the empress's embarrassing status in the palace, that's why the emperor treated her so contemptuously.

I don't know what it will be like when the Empress Empress arrives later.

The emperor was in a fit of anger, no one dared to confront him, they all stood aside quietly holding their breath.Even after Ying Er brought the cooked porridge over, seeing the solemn atmosphere in the room, she didn't dare to say a word.

Although Concubine Hua Gui was very hungry, her appetite was not great, and she couldn't eat after only half a bowl of clear porridge.

The emperor was about to persuade her to use more, when a maid came to report that the empress had arrived.

"The concubine has seen the emperor, but I don't know why the emperor summoned the concubine to come over?"

As soon as the queen entered the door, she saluted the emperor. Concubine Hua quickly avoided it when she saw this, and after she finished the salute, she saluted her according to the concubine etiquette.

In the end, it was Mingling, Huo Tianxin and others who saluted the queen.

This was the first time Huo Tianxin saw the queen, and he thought that even if the person in the latter place did not have the domineering spirit of Concubine Li, at least she was noble and dignified, very serious.

But seeing the queen today, if someone hadn't told her identity, she really couldn't believe her eyes.

Compared with Concubine Hua and Concubine Li who are well maintained, the Empress appears to be a little older, she looks about forty years old, but her quiet and calm demeanor makes people feel comfortable.

She was only wearing a sky blue gown, the material of which was of the highest quality, the pattern on it was simple, and she didn't have too many accessories on her body, and her hair was just the most common bun, tied up with a white jade hairpin.

As soon as she entered, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and when she got closer, she could vaguely smell the faint scent of sandalwood on her body.That kind and peaceful appearance, although not luxuriously dressed, can't hide the demeanor of the world.

It is said that love comes from the heart, and it is really hard for Huo Tianxin to believe that such a woman would murder others in secret ways.

The emperor probably hadn't seen the empress for a long time. Seeing her appearance, he couldn't help but hesitated, "Why is the empress so pure, but it doesn't match your current status."

The queen smiled slightly, and said softly: "The concubine has been dressed like this for more than ten years, but attending the feast on weekdays needs to follow the etiquette system for later generations, so I have to be a little more grand. The concubine has nothing to worry about in the palace, so I just let it go." It’s light and comfortable, and it’s better to be more comfortable, but I don’t want to be used to it, and it makes the emperor and my sister laugh.”

The emperor's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he sighed: "I see, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, I haven't entered your palace for ten years. Empress, can you blame me?"

The queen seemed a little surprised when he said this, and shook her head with a smile: "The emperor bestows ample food and clothing to the ministers and concubines, so that the ministers and concubines can enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life, and the concubines will not complain."

"Since I don't complain—" the emperor's face suddenly turned aside, he threw the ebony rosary to the queen's feet, and said sharply: "Why did you give this rosary to Concubine Hua?"
