It’s No Use Calling Me Mom

This arson incident must not be taken lightly.

In this dynasty, arson is a serious crime, and can be punished with the death penalty at the highest.

Concubine Zhao and Concubine Gao, together with several princes and princesses, were gathered in a side room of the West Side Hall to avoid.

Zheng Si Si is leading a group of subordinates to grate Zhong Cui Palace like combing their hair.

An hour later, three things were placed in front of Wang Qingqing, a blue brick with writing on it, a headless puppet made of brocade with needles inserted into its chest, A robe with the front cut off.

As soon as the three pieces of evidence were presented, needles fell silently in the entire Zhongcui Palace hall.

Wang Qingqing carefully examined the three pieces of evidence, and after reading it, she spun around and took a seat in the main hall of Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Zhao Gui, Concubine Gao and several princes have been brought to the hall, and the people below are squeezed and kneeled on the ground, Wang Qingqing glanced at the people in the hall, and she said : "Please, Your Majesty, please drive the Zhongcui Palace."

His Majesty the emperor was awakened from his sleep, and the **** told him the cause and effect in detail on the way. When he came to the main hall of Zhongcui Palace, he glanced at the two concubines who he described as miserable Together with the three children, they took another look at Wang Qingqing, who had a solemn face, and finally came to examine the three pieces of evidence carefully.

Wang Qingqing's title is Xiaoxuan, and this Queen Xiaoxuan is Wang Qingqing.

Wang Qingqing is still alive and well, but the tomb of Queen Xiaoxuan is written on this blue brick. This is to curse Wang Qingqing.

After reading this line of small characters, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but glance at Wang Qingqing, who was sitting on the main seat, expressionless, feeling quite uncomfortable.

The way the road is used can be seen almost everywhere in the palace, if you want to find where it comes from, it is really not easy."

After listening to Zuo Dutong's words, His Majesty the Emperor frowned: "Is there no clue at all?"

"Go back to your majesty." Gong Zhengsi, who has always had a serious face, gave the emperor a blessing with a straight face: "If you want to find the source of this brick, you will need the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. One palace and one palace carefully check the comparison, it takes a long time to say, and it is difficult to draw an accurate conclusion. It is really too difficult to verify from here."

"No." Si Zheng made a straight-forward suggestion: "Report to Your Majesty, why don't you check the ink on this brick, but this ink has a source."

"Oh? How do you say it?" His Majesty the Emperor carefully looked at the handwriting on the blue brick. Even if the blue brick was rough and dark, the handwriting on it was clear and legible, showing the quality of the ink. good.

Si Zheng replied in a deep voice: "The characters written in this ink are not scattered in black and translucent. It is a tribute ink that can only be used by the heads of the palaces and the princes and princesses."

"Gongmo?" Si Zheng's words made the noble emperor's boss unhappy.

He frowned and asked, "Where was this thing found?

The Zuo Du of the Imperial Guard is concise and comprehensive: "On the beam of the front porch of the main hall of Zhong Cui Palace."

"The concubine has something to say, the empress has always been considerate and caring for her concubine, and the seventh prince and concubine are not healthy, and the concubine is sent to Zhongcui Palace every day to inquire, and she often summons the imperial doctor to see it in person In the case of the concubine and the seventh prince, the concubine and the seventh prince are meticulously cared for, and the concubine also reveres the empress very much, so why should the concubine curse the empress?"

After the big conversation, Concubine Zhao was so tired that she gasped, she took a breath and then defended: "The front porch is outside the palace, and there is no one to guard the concubine here day and night, someone must be watching the concubine. Your Majesty loves it, put this thing with Zhong Cui Palace, and wants to be trapped in a concubine."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't bear it, even if she meant something, His Majesty the Emperor gave her a seat.

The palace servants moved a chair and placed it next to Concubine Zhao. Concubine Zhao thanked His Majesty the emperor breathlessly, and was helped by the maid to sit on the chair.

The material of the lake blue makeup and flower brocade is slightly faded, the puppet with blue arms and blue legs is dressed in a women's blue dress, a neatly folded rice paper is covered with a few bright needles It was stuck in the chest, so weird that it made people feel creepy at first sight.

His Majesty the Emperor suppressed the discomfort in his heart and looked at the puppet carefully, then motioned Zuo Dutong to take down the rice paper from the puppet's chest.

Zuo Dutong picked up the puppet and pulled out a few large needles, and the neatly folded rice paper fell into the tray. Si Zheng picked up the rice paper and shook it open. Small print: Queen Xiaoxuan

Si Zheng took a deep breath and presented the note to His Majesty the Emperor. After His Majesty looked over, she turned to Wang Qingqing with a hesitant look on her face, Wang Qingqing waved at her: " Bring it up."

Shunyi's little maid took the note from Si Zheng's hand and presented it to Wang Qingqing before her eyes, Wang Qingqing pinched the note and read it several times, then snorted coldly: "I don't know, I do What is the wrong thing to be angry and resentful, someone actually hates this palace so deeply?"

As soon as she said these words, needles could be heard in the main hall of Zhong Cui Palace, Si Zheng carried his solemn face to comfort Wang Qingqing: "This is a villain's trouble, what you did in the former harem It is obvious to all, fairness is in the hearts of the people, and the empress must never mind."

Wang Qingqing let out a long sigh with a sad expression, and ordered Shunyi to take down the note. Si Zheng took the note and checked it over and over again, rubbed the corner of the note, and handed it to Zuo Dutong.

Zuo Dutong also looked at the note very well. After reading it carefully, the two looked at each other, and Si Zheng said with a solemn expression: "This ink is the same as the one on the blue brick. It is Gongmo, and this rice paper is made in the palace and is used exclusively in the palace."

Wang Qingqing was silent, and His Majesty the Emperor's eyes turned to the third piece of evidence involuntarily, the robe that looked exactly like the puppet's clothes.

Si Zheng had someone bring up scissors, and she cut this weird headless puppet carefully with her own hands.

The direction of the pattern can be seen at a glance, this puppet is made of the front of the Beizi.

Xuan paper and Mo Ruo can be used as evidence, but it is rather reluctant, because these things are all standard items in the palace, but all the concubines and many princes and daughters who have reached the level of the harem use the same.

Not necessarily noticeable.

In this case, it is impossible to find out who did these things through these papers and inks.

But this robe is different. Whether it is through fabric or workmanship, it is very easy to find out its owner.

Wang Qingqing stood up and slowly walked to the third piece of evidence and looked back and forth carefully.

After reading it, she turned to Concubine Zhao Gui and Concubine Gao, who were on the side, and said slowly: "You two take a closer look, which one of you is this Beizi?"

Shun Yi picked up Beizi from the tray and brought it to the second Concubine Zhao Gao to let them watch carefully. After looking around, Concubine Zhao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times in a low voice: "It's not the concubine's, the concubine has never been the bei child of this color."

Shun Yi turned to Concubine Gao, and Concubine Gao's face gradually turned pale: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this nephew belongs to a concubine, but because the tea cup was overturned on her body, this The concubine is no longer worn, and the concubine has no idea why it was made into this puppet."

No one cared about Concubine Gao's defense, and His Majesty the Emperor asked with a livid face, "Where did you find this dress?"

"Go back to your majesty, this dress was found behind the door of the east side hall, and the puppet was stuffed in the curtain of the main hall of the east side hall." Commander Zuo said it clearly and clearly.

The scourge of witchcraft has always been unacceptable in the harem. Even if His Majesty the Emperor was unwilling to accept it, he had to ask Concubine Yu Gao: "Gao Shi, what else do you have to say?"

"The concubine has something to say." Concubine Gao hastily defended with a pale face: "Please, Your Majesty, and the empress, if the concubine curses the empress, she will definitely hide these things. Okay, after making the puppet, wouldn't it be good to burn this nephew on fire? Why should it be placed behind the gate of the main hall? Isn't this a big deal for myself?"

"As for why these things are in the palace of the concubine, there must be someone who wants to frame the concubine." After defending for a while, Concubine Gao turned to Wang Qingqing: "The Queen's concubine Mingjian, Zhong Cui Palace is leaving tonight. Water, the fire in the east side hall is quite raging, it must be the scoundrel who took advantage of the panic to put out the fire and hid this thing in the hall of the courtier and concubine."

"It makes sense." Wang Qingqing listened to Concubine Gao's words. Glancing at His Majesty the Emperor, he nodded again and again to Concubine Gao: "In your opinion, who wants to harm you?"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Gao burst into tears, she rushed to His Majesty's side and hugged His Majesty's legs, looking up at the Emperor with tears on her face: "Chen, concubine and others have no complaints in the past. There has been no hatred recently, the concubine does not know who wants to harm the concubine."
