imperial concubine

Chapter 184 frame the blame
Originally, after Shi Dou saw Dexi's fate, he was so frightened that his heart was broken, so he only answered the question later.Now hearing that Yun Jingya was going to blame him, and thinking of Dexi's tragic end just now, Shi Dou immediately made a mess of his pants.

Seeing Shi Dou's unbearable appearance, Yun Jingya only felt that her face was really ugly, "Give me a quick drag! I will deal with this kind of people before I can talk back!"

The two guards carried the stone beans out without changing their expressions, and then a eunuch wiped the water stains carefully with a cotton cloth, and then sprinkled them with incense powder, and incense was lit in the hall again, and the faces of the nobles in the hall It just looked better.

Not long after, Shi Dou, who had changed her clothes and pants, was brought in again, and the nobles looked at her, frowning slightly.Yun Jingya snorted coldly, and asked coldly, "Who gave you this elixir?"

There was no threat in the words.But everyone present had already heard it, and Yun Jingya was already furious at this moment. I was afraid that if Shi Dou couldn't answer this question, Yun Jingya would order the guards to drag him out and beat him to death immediately.

Shi Dou also heard it, he couldn't help but shivered, and then stammered: "Return to Your Highness, this pill was given to the villain by the eunuch Liu Gonggong, the chief eunuch of the imperial pharmacy. The villain just followed Liu Gonggong's instructions. The idea was sent to His Highness the Crown Prince, but the villain did nothing else. Please spare the villain's life, Your Highness the Princess!"

Shi Dou burst into tears as he said that, and moved towards Yun Jingya on his knees step by step.Yun Jingya frowned, and the two guards who had been standing behind Shi Dou immediately pulled Shi Dou back and held her down.

Seeing Shi Dou's covetousness and fear of death, the queen sitting on the throne said with a sneer, "A group of mobs want to accomplish something? It's a big joke! Huixue, go and bring the eunuch from the imperial pharmacy to me!" "

Hearing what the queen said, Concubine Shu and Concubine Lin exchanged glances.Although the empress covered up the prince's condition very tightly, but listening to the empress's words, she also wanted to make things happen. I am afraid that the prince is not just as simple as the occasional cold.

Shi Dou was detained and stayed with Dexi.Huixue went out for about a quarter of an hour before returning, followed by a eunuch with a round face and small eyes, Huixue bowed to the queen and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Banxia, ​​the chief eunuch of the imperial pharmacy, brought you here."

That Liu Banxia was wearing a blue palace gown, with a bat-pattern ribbon tied around his waist, his hair was combed neatly, and his small eyes were wandering around. He looked like a very smart person.

Just now Huixue went to the Royal Pharmacy and said that the Queen wanted to see him, but Liu Banxia didn't take it seriously, after all the crown prince fell ill yesterday, and as the chief eunuch of the Royal Pharmacy, he knew about it clearly, only thought that the Queen was looking for him for medicinal materials.

But after arriving at the East Palace, he realized that there were so many nobles sitting in the main hall!That's when he felt something was wrong.However, he looked a few times out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw Su Wan, he was slightly taken aback, and then he was relieved.

Liu Banxia bent his knees, knelt in the middle of the main hall, and said loudly: "The little eunuch, the chief eunuch of the imperial pharmacy, has seen the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, the Shu Concubine, the Princess, the Second Prince, and the Fourth Prince."

A few people present nodded slightly, this still looks good, if the eunuchs in this palace are as cowardly and cowardly as that stone bean just now, I am afraid that the Ministry of Internal Affairs should really rectify it!

Looking at Liu Banxia who was kneeling on the ground, the queen narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the gold hairpin on her head slightly, and said slowly, "You are Liu Banxia, ​​the chief eunuch of the imperial pharmacy who is responsible for distributing medicinal materials to various palaces?"

The empress's tone was flat and conciliatory, without any trace of anger.When Huixue went out just now, the queen had suppressed her anger. The most important thing now is to stay calm. Only by staying calm can you find out the mastermind who wanted to harm Huang'er!
Liu Banxia lowered her head even lower, and said in a moderate voice: "If you go back to your mother, it depends on the trust of all the nobles in the palace. Only young people can become the chief eunuch in this imperial pharmacy."

Of course the nobles in the palaces didn't have much trust in him, and they didn't even know who he was.When Liu Banxia said this, he was just saying something pleasing to the eye.This chief eunuch was finally obtained by giving him 5000 taels of silver.

Hearing Liu Banxia's words, the queen smiled and said: "Your nobles trust you. You also know that you are allowed to sit in this seat because of your trust." Then she turned to look at Liu Banxia and asked coldly: "Since you know this is the case, Then you don't want this head anymore, so you did such a deceitful thing?"

Liu Banxia who was kneeling below trembled, no matter how calm he was, he was still an eunuch after all.Hearing that the queen used such a big crime to suppress him at this time, he was naturally terrified.

So Liu Banxia kowtowed again and again to plead guilty, "Queen empress, please forgive me! Since I became the chief eunuch of this imperial pharmacy, I have fulfilled my duty day and night, and have never violated the rules. This is a big treasonous thing to bully the king. Give the villain ten more guts, and the villain will not dare to do it!"

Although Liu Banxia usually colluded with the imperial doctor to resell the high-quality medicinal materials in the imperial pharmacy privately, and even used inferior medicinal materials as inferior ones, but he thought that the matter was done cleanly, and the queen could not find out anything, so he did this Say.

Hearing Liu Banxia's words, the queen sneered and said, "Give you ten guts? You are already so courageous now, won't you be overthrown if you give you ten guts?" Turning her head, she said to Li Fangyuan : "Show him!"

Since the interrogation of Dexi, Li Fangyuan has been waiting by the side.Hearing the queen's words at this time, Li Fangyuan walked up to Liu Banxia a few steps, and opened the small red sandalwood box in his hand, revealing the elixir with a corner missing.

Seeing the elixir here, Liu Banxia was taken aback. According to what the man said, there should be no elixir in the East Palace at this time. Where did the queen find such a elixir?Feeling guilty, Liu Banxia lowered her head and glanced at Su Wan out of the corner of her eye, only to see that Su Wan was drinking tea from a teacup, looking at herself with a vague smile on her face.

Liu Banxia gritted her teeth, raised her head, and said in bewilderment: "Empress, what is the meaning of showing this elixir to the villain? You want the imperial pharmacy to follow the prescription of this elixir to re-use it." How many more pills do you want?"

Naturally, the imperial pharmacy couldn't match this elixir, and all these elixirs were given to him by the people behind him.It's just that that person once told himself not to leak this matter, so now Liu Banxia can only grit his teeth and refuse to admit it.

When the queen heard Liu Banxia's words, she knew in her heart that he was not telling the truth, at least not the whole truth, so a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, "Eunuch Liu, according to what you said, the imperial pharmacy can make this medicine?"

This elixir is the chief culprit who brought the crown prince down to this point. If this elixir was really prepared in the imperial pharmacy, no matter who is behind it, I must kill Liu Banxia, ​​who killed thousands of knives. yes!

Hearing the queen's words, Liu Banxia said in fear: "The pill shown by the empress is so wonderful, how can the mere imperial pharmacy make it? I also ask the empress to give me the prescription. The little one will definitely let the people in the imperial pharmacy rush to make it day and night, This elixir is made."

Su Wan on the side smiled slightly when he heard Liu Banxia's words.This Liu Banxia is quite talented, looking at the nobles sitting on top of the hall, not only is he not stage frightened, he is even so neither humble nor overbearing.It's a pity that such a good material went to the wrong person.

Seeing Liu Banxia's eloquent tongue, Yun Jingya shirked her responsibility completely while speaking, slapped her slender hand on the table, and said angrily: "Well, Liu Banxia, ​​you dare to speak so eloquently in front of the empress. ! Ben Gong asks you, didn’t this elixir come from the imperial pharmacy, from your own hands?”

Yun Jingya couldn't help feeling angry when she thought of her younger brother still lying in the inner hall, life and death unknown.Seeing that Liu Banxia was so glib, he couldn't help but slapped the table and questioned him sharply.

Liu Banxia looked at the elixir carefully again, then shook his head and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, this medicine is indeed not from the imperial pharmacy. The elixir from the imperial pharmacy has always been packaged in celadon bottles, and I don't know how to use it." Such a precious red sandalwood box."

Seeing Liu Banxia being so stubborn, Yun Jingya laughed angrily!Looking at Liu Banxia, ​​Yun Jingya gritted her teeth and said: "What a eunuch Liu Banxia, ​​the leader of the imperial pharmacy!" She raised her head and shouted: "Come here, bring Shidou up!" After saying this, Yun Jingya sneered and said: Gong wants to see, which of the two of you is lying!"

In fact, the situation was already clear at this time. With Shi Dou's courage, he got all his pants just because of Yun Jingya's harsh words. How could he have the courage to lie to Yun Jingya?It can only be said that Yun Jingya was angry and anxious at this moment, and she was a little confused.

Hearing Yun Jingya's words, Liu Banxia was also a little anxious.The reason why I hold on so hard is because the person behind me is also sitting in this temple, why doesn't that person come out to speak for me at this time?

Just as she was thinking, Shi Dou had been brought up by the guards, and Yun Jingya asked, "Shi Dou, you just said that this medicine was given to you by Eunuch Liu from the Royal Pharmacy, but the Eunuch Liu you mentioned is Liu Banxia who is kneeling next to you." ?”

Although Shi Dou usually received a lot of favors from Liu Banxia, ​​but at this time, he was scared out of his wits, and secondly, his own life was at stake, so he didn't care about Liu Banxia's kindness to him before.Seeing Liu Banxia from the side, he nodded quickly.

Seeing Shi Dou nodded, Yun Jingya asked with a smile: "Liu Banxia, ​​what else do you have to say? You would never say that you don't know Shi Dou at all, right?" Yun Jingya had a smile on her face. He laughed, but his eyes were icy cold!
The younger brother is still lying in the inner hall. If she didn't want to find out who was behind the scenes and find out the antidote, Yun Jingya wouldn't bother to interrogate such people, so she just ordered the guards to push them out of the Meridian Gate and behead them for public display!

Liu Banxia glanced at Shi Dou, frowned slightly, and said, "Reporting to Your Royal Highness, Shi Dou knows about it. But I really don't know where Shi Dou got this medicine."

Hearing Liu Banxia's words, Shi Dou's eyes widened suddenly, unexpectedly, this Liu Banxia actually beat him up!
