Rebirth of the Phoenix

The culprit behind the scenes

His child is gone, and he has to seek justice for his child, kill a few more people, and be a companion for his child.

Everyone was trembling and looked at each other, not daring to speak.

Ye Qingge said lightly: "If you don't say anything, just kill them all."

The palace maid named Zhide stammered: "Back, go back to the emperor, after the slaves followed the empress to the lake, the empress asked a few people to stay on the shore, and only brought the slaves and the masters into the pavilion to rest, and then, the empress

I asked the servant to come back to get the cloak. At that time, only the scholar left was left with the empress. When the servant came back to get the cloak, something had happened to the empress..."

Ye Qingge's eyes fell on Zhishu who was hiding behind the crowd after a round of patrol.

The head of the Zhishu is hanging low.

Ye Qingge stared at her: "Zhishu, what do you have to explain?"

Zhishu knelt down, his head still drooped: "The tea was poured by the slave, but the slave did nothing. At that time, many people were watching him on the shore and could testify..."

A eunuch shouted: "We are watching on the shore, but when you pour tea, you turn your back to us. We don't know if you are tampering with your hands!"

Zhishu kowtowed desperately: "The emperor found out that I had served the Empress when I was in the Ying family. Two days ago, the Empress had removed the slave family from his family. It was too late for the slave to be grateful to the Empress, so how could he attack the Empress?

Moreover, the slave followed the empress every day, how could he find the poison that even the imperial physician could not see? The emperor found it clearly—”

Ye Qingge looked at everyone again: "When the Empress was drinking tea, who else stood beside the Empress?"

All the servants shook their heads.

Ye Qingge smiled faintly and looked at Zhishu: "It seems that you don't cry until you see the coffin. Xiao Maruzi, go to the Shenzheng Department to bring a few of the best torture instruments. I want to do the torture in the backyard, see how this slave calls me.

No help.”

"Also," he looked at the palace maid who made tea before, walked up and kicked her, "pulled her down and killed her."

The emperor is...it's okay to kill anyone, and everyone is silent. Unexpectedly, if the emperor becomes cruel, it will be indiscriminate.

The palace maid cried and was dragged out.

Zhishu kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, I really did nothing, I am loyal to the Empress..."

Ye Qingge remained indifferent: "Search her body to see if there is poison hidden on her body."

Several palace maids rushed up, held Zhishu, and searched her carefully. Soon, a small bottle was found.

A very ordinary little white porcelain bottle, there is no way to tell, the porcelain bottle is empty.

Ye Qingge stared at Zhishu: "What is in the bottle? When is the things in the bottle in time and space?"

Zhishu's face turned paler when he saw this bottle, his body trembled, and he looked extremely scared: "It's just the medicine I took..."

Ye Qingge asked: "What disease did you have? What medicine did you take? Who treated this disease? Where did you catch the medicine? If you think I can't find it out, just lie."

Zhishu's mind was blank and he didn't know how to lie.

Ye Qingge saw her like this and knew in her heart that she could not escape the relationship. She sneered: "If you give the envoy behind the scenes, I can make you die easily and have a grave to enter. If you refuse to explain, I will

Let you taste all kinds of torture and expose your body on the street. You can choose it yourself."

Zhishu knew that he could not escape, so he gritted his teeth, got up suddenly, lowered his head and rushed towards the wall.

But Ye Qingge was prepared for it. When he saw her get up, he flew over and kicked her to the ground before she touched the wall.

"I want to die? It's not that easy." Ye Qingge smiled fiercely and squatted in front of her, "Do you think your family has been separated from slavery, so I can't find it? All over the world, is it the king's land, as long as I

If you are determined, you can always find your family and go to the underworld to accompany you."

Zhishu's face was really desperate at this moment.

"Say—" Ye Qingge suddenly pinched her chin, "Who instructed you?"

If it weren't for someone's instructions, this slave would definitely not have the courage or ability to harm Meng'er!

This is the second time Meng'er has been victimized, and he has lost two children because of this. He will never forgive the person who harmed his beloved wife and children!

No matter who is the instructor behind this scene or how powerful he is, he will completely eradicate it!

After looking at him for a while, he slowly said: "I just want to tell the Empress."

"Do you still want to harm the queen?" Ye Qingge was angry and almost deformed her chin. "Believe it or not, I will want your family now? Take them to you and suffer eighteen tortures with you.

?”

Zhishu said: "The Empress is kind to the slave, and she is willing to say everything. However, if the slave tells the emperor, the emperor will definitely not believe it. Therefore, the slave can only remind the empress, please take care of it."

"Don't think about it!" Ye Qingge refused, "I have to..."

"Qingge..." A weak voice came faintly, "I heard it all, let her come in, I want to hear her in person..."

Ye Qingge looked in the sound, and saw the shadows like dreams and a weak willow, holding the door frame, standing there, extremely weak. At that moment, he was shocked and panicked, and hurried over to help her: "You are weak, why are you still strong?

Get out of bed? Go back to bed and rest quickly..."

Several other palace maids also rushed over to support their shadows as dreams.

Ying Rumeng shook her head: "I can't rest assured, I can't sleep, at least... at least I must know who harmed me, or... or I will never close my eyes..."

No matter how well she slept, she heard it, crying, shouting and begging for mercy outside.

In fact, she didn't sleep so well.

Ye Qingge scolded: "It's all Zhishu, a slave who was instructed by others, and he has attacked you like this..."

"Since she is threatened and instructed, you don't have to annoy her so much. No matter how many mistakes she makes, she can't compare to the instructor's fault." Ying Rumeng's eyes were frosted, but her face was calm, "Let her come in,

I want to hear her say.”

Seeing that her attitude was firm, Ye Qingge had to soften her: "Okay, I asked her to tell you, but you must not be too angry, it will be worth it if you hurt your body."

Ying Rumeng turned around and returned to the inner room with the help of the maid: "Shu, come in."

Zhishu got up and followed her staggeringly.

After Ying Rumeng sat down, she asked all the maids to go out, leaving only Zhishu in the room.

Zhishu knelt down and kowtowed: "Empress, the man just said that this medicine would make the empress weak and sleepy, and would never hurt the empress's body. The slave had to obey, no reason... what would hurt Longzi

...The slave deserves to die! Just ask the empress to be careful in the future, don't be harmed by that person..."

Outside the room, all the servants retreated far away, bowed their heads, knelt on the ground, and remained silent.

Those who dare to attack the Queen must be big shots. If they know what they shouldn't know, their fate will not be better than those of Zhishu.

Ye Qingge stood by the faint door, closing his eyes and listening to the conversation in the room.

His internal strength is not bad, his ears are clear and his eyes are clear, and he can vaguely hear the conversation inside.

After Zhishu cried for a while, he whispered to Ying Rumeng to tell her about the story of drugging the empress.

Ye Qingge couldn't hear it very clearly, so he could only listen and guess. He faintly heard Zhishu saying that she and Zhili were knocked out, and then were taken to a certain empress, who threatened them to dream every day.

The medicinal medicine in my diet made Meng'er's body gradually weak. She would definitely be bedridden in bed in a year and would be difficult to recover...

During this process, Ying Rumeng exclaimed several times: "Impossible..."

Zhishu's crying never stopped: "Of course, the empress does not trust it, so the slave dare not speak out. The empress may not believe in the slave, but please be careful. Knowing the etiquette and mistakes, he does not want to harm the empress again, but he ended up being poisoned.

, You must not be able to survive even if you know the book. Please take care of your wife..."

Ye Qingge heard these sentences clearly, and his eyes were full of tears for a moment: It turns out that Zhili was also harmed! The person behind the scenes is really cruel!

After Zhishu finished speaking softly, he hugged Ying Rumeng and cried bitterly.

After crying for a while, she let go of her master, wiped away her tears, stopped crying, and gave a very standardized bow to Ye Qingge, "Emperor, I have no choice but to die, but I can't blame others. But, in this palace

Only the emperor can protect the empress. Please don’t let the empress suffer such harm again!”

After saying that, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, raised her hand suddenly, and stabbed the silver hairpin in her hand hard at her throat.

Ye Qingge wanted to snipe, but it was too late.

The silver hairpin was deeply inserted into the most fragile place on Zhishu's neck, and blood was pouring out.

Then, she fell to the ground, let go of her hand, and never moved again.

Everyone was shocked.

An old eunuch who had seen many bloody things came forward, squatted down and looked at Tan Zhishu's pulse, then opened her eyelids and looked at it, shook her head: "Master, she is dead."

A living person was still talking before the blink of an eye, but after the blink of an eye, the people disappeared. The palace ladies in the room were all served with the Zhishu every day. Seeing her dying like this, they inevitably felt sad in their hearts.

The atmosphere is even more gloomy and depressing.

Ye Qingge looked at Zhishu for a while and walked towards the inner room.

Ying Rumeng sat there, constantly wiping her tears with her handkerchief and sobbing softly.

Ye Qingge walked over, squatted in front of her, held her face, wiped her tears with her fingers, and said softly: "Don't cry, tell me who did it, I will avenge our children.

.”

Ying Rumeng held back her tears and shook her head: "After she was knocked out, she was taken to the person, but she was blindfolded by the black cloth and could not see who that person was, and she could not hear clearly when she heard the sound.

So, let's just let it go..."

"Are you lying to me?" Ye Qingge gently stroked her face, "What are you afraid of? With me here, who else can hurt you in this palace? Tell me the truth, who did it? I promise

I will definitely seek justice for you and your children.”

Ying Rumeng turned her face aside, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts: "It's a big deal without evidence, and the whole palace people are in panic. I'll forget it, but I don't have a good reputation for the emperor..."

Ye Qingge turned her face over: "Tell me! I want to know the truth! I have the right to know the truth!"

Shadow lowered its head like a dream, silent.

Ye Qingge said: "I know you are very tired, but if you don't say it, I will keep watching her like this until we fall down together."

After a long time, Ying Rumeng said quietly: "It's okay if you don't know some things. If you know, it's very likely that everyone will not be better. Why bother..."

Ye Qingge smiled faintly, his face full of bitterness: "Maybe it is really that way, but I am already very bad now. If I can't seek justice for our children, what's the point of being this emperor? I still have it when I'm alive.

What's the meaning?"

After a while, Ying Rumeng said, "I said it, you won't believe it..."

"I believe it!" Ye Qingge stared at her and said word by word, "I believe whatever you say, so say it."

Ying Rumeng looked at him, her eyes full of sadness.

Ye Qingge saw her so sad for the first time.

Ying Rumeng took his hand and wrote two words in his palm: Tai, Hou.
