The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 50 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger

The emperor asked Li Yu, "Who made today's dipping sauce in the imperial dining room?"

Li Yu immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, it is Dai Maoxing, the imperial cook."

Fortunately, the situation was not right just now, and at the same time as I went to invite the imperial physician, all the people in the imperial dining room were trapped.Sure enough, the emperor will definitely pursue this matter to the end.

The emperor said again: "Detain people, and, today, everyone who has been in contact with dipping sauce must be questioned one by one. Today's matter, I will judge it as a crime of regicide."

"Hey." Li Yu immediately went to deliver the decree.

The crime of killing the king is a serious crime of beheading that will implicate the nine clans.

When the sword-carrying guards surrounded the imperial dining room, everyone began to cry and cry for injustice, but they were all taken away in the end.

The emperor sent Yingyun back to the bedroom. Yingyun took the medicine, the abdominal pain relieved a little, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.

At dusk, Li Yu bowed into the palace and returned to his command.

The emperor glanced at the sleeping Yingyun, and motioned for Li Yu to talk outside.

Li Yu lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the people in the Imperial Dining Room have checked all over, and their confessions are all consistent. Because they know that the Emperor cannot eat peanuts, the Imperial Dining Room never has peanuts. Dai Maoxing just arrived in the Imperial Dining Room not long ago. He is also good at seasoning, so today's dish of peanut dipping sauce is handled by him alone."

The emperor looked far and wide, and asked, "Man, have you been interrogated?"

Li Yu nodded and said: "It's been interrogated. According to him, the peanut butter was stored by him privately. Maybe it was improperly stored, which caused the peanuts to go moldy. He repeatedly emphasized that it was an unintentional mistake."

The emperor said angrily in a cold voice: "Even if he just entered the imperial dining room, didn't he memorize my dietary taboos clearly? Why did he still put peanuts on the table?"

Li Yu replied tremblingly: "The emperor calms down. The Dai family's ancestral skill is to prepare peanut butter, which is very famous in the Jianghuai generation. But after he entered the palace, he knew that the emperor could not eat it, so he felt regretful. It is rare for the empress to have a meal with the emperor today. Sharing meals together, he thought of giving the empress a taste, maybe he could be promoted. He also specially told the eunuch who served the meal that the peanuts are only for the empress to eat."

The emperor's complexion was very bad, and he stood a lot with his hands behind his back, and the air suddenly seemed to freeze.

Li Yu hesitated, and then said: "There is one more thing... Dai Maoxing knew that he had caused a catastrophe, and he was afraid that he would implicate the whole family, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide in prison."

The emperor remained silent.

Li Yu asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what should Dai Maoxing's relatives do?"

The peanut butter incident, along with Dai Maoxing's suicide, also became an unsolved case.Whether it was his unintentional mistake or someone deliberately did it, it is still impossible to find out.

But the imperial meal is related to the emperor's dietary safety, and there is no room for sloppy and fluke.Even if Dai Maoxing didn't intentionally poison, but for the sake of his official career, the habit of knowingly committing crimes should not be encouraged.

The emperor's eyes froze, and he said: "Decree, Dai Maoxing dereliction of duty in the imperial dining room, beheaded for public display, punish Dai's three clans."

"Hey." Li Yu backed out in panic.

Being a servant in front of the imperial court, although it is a supreme honor, is always holding your head in your hands, and if you don't pay attention, it is like today's implicated disaster.

In the end, the emperor did not punish him for the crime of regicide, which can be regarded as a side of the net, but it is also sad that the members of the three Dai clans were all implicated in this disaster.

Li Yu stood facing the wind outside the hall for a while, and sighed softly, being with you is like being with a tiger!
