imperial concubine

Chapter 185
Shi Dou is usually in charge of the medicinal materials in the East Palace, while Liu Banxia is in charge of the medicinal materials in the entire imperial city, so the two of them have a lot of dealings, and the two of them called each other like brothers.It's just that Shi Dou didn't expect that at this critical moment, not only would Liu Banxia not help him, but he would also talk nonsense and blame himself for all the faults!
Thinking of this, Shi Dou secretly glanced at Yun Jingya, only to see that Yun Jingya's face was already covered with frost.Shi Dou exerted all his strength to control the little water in his body, and said tremblingly, "Your Highness, this medicine is really given to you by Liu Banxia!"

Shidou had seen Dexi's tragic situation clearly just now, and he wanted to understand it himself. Anyway, with his own character, he would definitely not be able to survive these punishments and confess in the end, so why should he be brave?So Shi Dou immediately confessed Liu Banxia.

Hearing Shi Dou's words, Liu Banxia sneered and said: "Shi Dou! Don't spit blood on people! This medicine is not from the Imperial Pharmacy at all! There is a record in every bottle of imperial pharmacy. If you don't believe me, check it out! Shi Dou Dou, even if you want to get away, you can't wrong me like this!"

After all, Liu Banxia has stayed in the palace longer than Shi Dou, and he is also more courageous than him.When he spoke at this time, not only his thoughts were clear, but also orderly, but it seemed that the stone beans beside him were chasing and biting randomly.

The two of Magma were about to quarrel with you and me, Yun Jingya snorted coldly, and then said: "People are bitter insects, if you don't beat them, you can't do it! Come on, and drag these two people down to me, and I will be responsible!"

At this time, Yun Jingya was already impatient, and only wanted to hit a few people to express the bad breath in her heart.So there was no effort at all to tell who was lying between Liu Banxia and Shi Dou, so he gave the order.

Shi Dou yelled loudly: "Your Highness, I have been wronged! This little one is really telling the truth. If the villain lied to Your Highness, he will be struck by lightning and die!" On the other side, Liu Banxia was much calmer. He said: "Your Highness, the villain has been wronged!"

Yun Jingya was already restless in her heart, and when she heard the two people crying continuously, it seemed as if a swarm of flies were gnawing at her ears, she couldn't help frowning, if she didn't want to keep these two people for questioning, she might immediately Let the guards drag the two down and bury them.

Just when the two were about to be dragged out of the main hall, the queen said coldly: "Wait a minute, bring these two back. If they are broken, I'm afraid they won't be able to ask for a statement."

The last sentence was said by the queen to Yun Jingya.With such a timid character, Shi Dou was afraid that he would be beaten to death if he couldn't stand a few boards.At that time, there will be only Liu Banxia alone, as long as he clenches his teeth and refuses to recruit, wouldn't it be dead without proof?

The guards dragged the two of them back to the main hall. The queen looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and suddenly had a plan in her heart, and then asked, "The two younger sisters think, who of these two is lying?"

If Concubine Shu is really behind this matter, then Concubine Shu will definitely favor this liar Liu Banxia, ​​and if Concubine Shu has nothing to do with this matter, she will definitely not help him.Even if the person behind the scenes helped Concubine Shu a lot, Concubine Shu would definitely prioritize.

Hearing the queen's sudden question, Concubine Lin said flatly: "My sister is not good at this kind of thing, and I can't tell which one is lying and which one is not. My sister asked this question, but she asked the wrong person."

Concubine Lin's temperament has always been calm, and she has never participated in the struggle in the palace.If you ask her about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine and camellias, Concubine Lin will definitely speak clearly and logically, but she has never understood such scheming things.

Concubine Shu on the side also smiled and said: "Sister Lin is very right. It's just that the two of them cried so miserably. My sister forgives my sister's clumsy eyes. My sister can't tell which of these two is true and which is real. is fake."

Hearing Concubine Shu's words, the queen smiled coldly.If Concubine Lin said she didn't know, I could still believe it; if you said that you, who have been fighting with Ben Gong for so many years, don't know, you would simply treat Ben Gong as an idiot!

But the queen thought about it, since Concubine Shu is not helping each other at this time, it seems that she must have nothing to do with the people behind the scenes.However, if Concubine Shu did not do this matter, could it be that she did it as Jingya said?Thinking about it, the queen set her eyes on Su Wan.

Concubine Shu saw that the queen stopped talking, but showed a pensive look instead, so she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "My sister has been in charge of the Six Palaces for many years, and I have dealt with eight hundred things if not a thousand. Can't you see it?"

These words are extremely powerful!If the queen couldn't recognize her this time, how many injustices were there in the previous incident?Just talking and laughing, Concubine Shu prepared a big hat with unknown rewards and punishments for the queen.

The queen naturally understood what Concubine Shu meant, and said with a smile: "What is the younger sister talking about? I have been in charge of the Six Palaces for so many years, how can I be fooled by a little eunuch's clumsy skills? Wait for me to ask a few words It will be clear."

Hearing what the queen said, Concubine Shu smiled.Quietly waiting for the queen to ask questions, if the queen can't ask this time, after His Majesty comes back, I will definitely tell His Majesty that she doesn't know people well and doesn't distinguish between rewards and punishments, which is a violation of the prestige of the lord of the Six Palaces!
Looking at the two kneeling on the ground, the queen asked: "Shi Dou, since you said that Liu Banxia gave you this pill, then did he give it to you when he was on the surface of the water? How much did he give you in total?"

Shi Dou poured out everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Although Liu Banxia was still calm on the surface, beads of sweat were slowly oozing from his forehead, and he was obviously a little scared.

After Shi Dou had finished talking, the queen looked at Liu Banxia with a smile and asked, "Shi Dou has finished talking, do you have anything else to say?"

Liu Banxia didn't speak, just knelt on the ground and called the queen wronged, saying that he had never done such a thing.Shi Dou didn't know who was instigated to deliberately slander him.

Before Liu Banxia could finish speaking, the Queen waved her hand impatiently and said: "Shut up! Come on, let Liu Banxia be dragged down to this Palace. As long as he doesn't die, as long as he doesn't recruit, don't stop your punishment. Liu Banxia is guilty of the same crime!"

The two guards were shocked, and then dragged Liu Banxia down.After a full quarter of an hour passed, the bodyguard just came in to report, and Liu Banxia was finally willing to recruit.

Seeing Liu Banxia who had soaked the red cloth behind her back, Su Wan couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, if only this person could be taken under her command.Such a tough person is hard to find now.

The empress was still sitting high on the first seat, the bright red Danko in her hand was bloody in the sun, she picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then said: "Okay, Liu Banxia, ​​tell me everything you know !"

Although Liu Banxia's bones are very hard, the queen firmly believes that no matter how hard your bones are, you will not be as strong as the ruthless execution stick.So Liu Banxia's confession at this time did not surprise the queen.

Liu Banxia, ​​who could barely lie on the ground, looked at Su Wan blankly, and then said to the queen: "Empress, I would like to recruit you." He took a break and continued, "This pill is not someone else's instigation of the villain. It is what His Royal Highness wants."

As soon as this statement came out, the entire East Palace was in an uproar!Originally thought that this elixir was specially sent to the East Palace by others to poison the crown prince.But it never occurred to him that the crown prince wanted the medicine himself, so he asked the imperial pharmacy to make it!

Hearing Liu Banxia's words, Yun Jingya was furious, slammed the table heavily and shouted: "Liu Banxia, ​​don't talk nonsense! Why would His Royal Highness ask you to make such a poison that harms others and oneself?"

I couldn't be more clear about the character of my little brother. He is so pure and kind, how could he think of using this medicine to overdraw his energy?Someone must have wanted to poison the younger brother, that's why Liu Banxia was instructed to say this!
Liu Banxia, ​​who was barely lying on the ground, said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, although it is unbelievable, this medicine was indeed made by His Highness the Prince. This is absolutely true, and the villain has never deceived His Highness, and all the ladies! "

Looking at the piece of red cloth soaked with blood behind Liu Banxia, ​​everyone here believed Liu Banxia's words.After all, Liu Banxia has been beaten to such an extent that he should not tell lies.

Obviously, Yun Jingya also thought of this, all her anger subsided immediately, and her face was full of disbelief.When did my innocent and well-behaved little brother in the past become such a deep-rooted person?
The empress on the top sneered, and then asked: "Liu Banxia, ​​since you said that the prince asked you to make these pills, why did the prince do it? And he still did it in such a sneaky way, why didn't he want others to know about it?" ?”

Hearing the queen's words, Yun Jingya's eyes lit up immediately, yes, if it was her little brother, why would she do such a thing that harms others and herself?Even if you want to do it, you won't be so sneaky!

Liu Banxia stopped talking again.Seeing his appearance, the queen sneered and said: "Since you are in such a difficult situation, then I will help you make up your mind! Left and right, drag Liu Banxia down before fighting!"

Looking at the blood stains on Liu Banxia's back, the people above the main hall couldn't help frowning, what if Liu Banxia was beaten to death?Liu Banxia was also stunned for a moment, and then said frantically: "His Royal Highness does not want others to know!"

Seeing that her deterrent strategy had worked, the queen narrowed her eyes and asked: "What does the prince not let others know? Will you say it? If you don't say it, I will have someone drag you down and continue beating you!"

All people are like this, if he keeps silent, then he may last until the end, even if he dies, he will not speak; but once he speaks, it is like the Yellow River bursting its embankment, and he will tell everything exactly.

This is undoubtedly the case for Liu Banxia at this time. I just said something, but now I can't hold it back, "His Royal Highness has lost energy after only five days of administration, so he doesn't want the civil and military officials to see his haggard appearance, which makes him look so haggard. The little one made these pills."

All the people present here are top figures in the harem. Hearing Liu Banxia's words at this time, he immediately understood that if the crown prince is haggard after only five days in office, how can he bear it when the crown prince ascends the throne and handles political affairs every day?Maybe some people will have two hearts because of this, and they will even ask Emperor Chongwen to re-establish the crown prince.That's why the prince took the risk!
But at this moment, only a voice sounded, "Liu Banxia, ​​you are talking nonsense!"
