Wishful Things

The small case was less than three feet high, and there was a soft mat under the case. The soup cup was overturned and fell, but it did not shatter, and only half of the pear soup inside spilled out.

Concubine Sun's complexion changed, and she quickly asked: "Your Majesty is burning!"

The queen mother shook her head: "I never burned Aijia..."

The little girl's movements when sweeping down the soup bowl are very particular, there is absolutely no possibility of scalding her—her future granddaughter-in-law will act cautiously and reliably...

Sister Lan stepped forward to help the Queen Mother up.

"...That's good." Concubine Sun seemed relieved, and hurriedly bent down, about to clean up the mess on the ground.

"Let the servants do this kind of thing." Xu Mingyi's subordinates quickly lifted the soup pot that still contained pear soup.

Concubine Sun froze for a moment, then nodded, straightened up, sighed and said: "Remember to be more careful next time when you do things, knocking things over is trivial, what if you burn the empress dowager?"

"The person who should be careful in doing things should be you, the concubine, right?"

The girl raised her head, the nervousness of doing something wrong disappeared from her body, and there was a trace of coldness in her quiet eyes.

After Concubine Sun was taken aback, she frowned immediately: "...Although you are the maid beside the princess, you should not be so presumptuous in your words and deeds."

"Before reprimanding me for being presumptuous, the concubine may have to explain why the pear soup is so poisonous—"

While Xu Mingyi was speaking, he took out the poison testing needle from the soup cup and showed it to Concubine Sun.

"..." Seeing the blackening of the needle, Concubine Sun's eyes were shocked, her lips moved, and she said in a trembling voice: "What are you talking about? What poison! I cook soup for the empress dowager every day, and I have never Nothing went wrong!"

As he said that, he reached out to snatch the test needle: "I don't care what your intentions are, but don't try to slander me!"

Xu Mingyi clasped her outstretched wrist with his left hand, and firmly clasped it on the table with a light force: "You don't have to be so anxious not to accuse yourself and try to destroy the evidence. If you didn't do it, no one will be wronged." you--"

"Your Majesty..." Seeing the sudden scene in front of her, Sister Lan's face turned extremely pale for a moment.

Concubine Sun actually poisoned the empress in the soup? !

How can there be such a thing!

There was also surprise in the Empress Dowager's eyes. Ever since she heard her son say that someone might try to harm her, she had secretly suspected many people, but she never thought of Mrs. Sun.

Just as Sun said, she has been making soup for her every day these days - so this thought was saved before leaving Beijing? Delivering soup every day just to cover up and confuse today? !

but……

Her future granddaughter-in-law is really strong.

Seeing Mrs. Sun whose wrists were bound and unable to move, her face turned pale from the pain and she was sweating coldly, the Queen Mother couldn't help giving an untimely admiration in her heart.

On the side, Lan Momo finally came back to her senses, and shouted with anger in her eyes: "Come on, someone wants to poison the empress dowager!"

As soon as this sound came out, the surroundings were quickly alarmed.

Lights were lit up everywhere in the mausoleum.

Sister Lan had regained her composure at this time, and immediately sent people back to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

"Ma'am, I'll go! I'll tell the elder brother and the second brother myself!" Princess Jingrong said nervously after being awakened.

Princess Yufeng, who was still in a daze because of the shock, subconsciously wanted to stop her mother from messing around, but she saw her friend shaking her head slightly at her.

Xu Mingyi thought there was no need to stop it.

It would be of great help to the next thing if the eldest princess went to "make a fuss".

The empress dowager of the previous life had an accident, but in the end she only informed the world of the emergency as a conclusion. In addition to the fact that the symptoms of the poison were not easy to detect, I am afraid that the emperor was more or less covering up——

Because no matter who the murderer is, once the matter becomes serious, the King of Yan and even some officials will inevitably become suspicious of the emperor, and it will definitely cause shock among the people in the court, so for the emperor, covering up the truth is the best way.

But in this life, she had already obtained physical evidence on the spot, which proved that someone was going to poison the Queen Mother. If she wanted to find out whether Sun Taifei was behind the instigation, she had to expose this matter in front of everyone.

Princess Yufeng vaguely understood his friend's intentions, so he let go of the eldest princess' arm.

The Queen Mother nodded, and the Eldest Princess ran out holding her skirt.

The two maids hurriedly followed.

"Tie up Mrs. Sun first." The Queen Mother personally ordered the guards who came to come—can you give me a little wink, isn't her future granddaughter-in-law tired of holding that crazy woman all the time?

The guards stepped forward in response, and Xu Mingyi then released the restraint on Concubine Sun.

Several guards looked at the marks on Concubine Sun's wrist, and they couldn't help but secretly exchanged glances. If the eyes could speak, it must be - good guy, what kind of maid are you with this strength.

Concubine Sun was still struggling to cry for grievances, and all the guards Gong'e had different expressions and dared not speak a word.

The stars in the night quietly disappeared at some point, and the moonlight was no longer clear. The dark clouds were like gauze, covering layer after layer, covering most of the bright moon's brilliance, making the place where the sky and the earth meet seem to be in chaos. .

Even though it was the child's time, in the palace, Emperor Qingming still hadn't fallen asleep.

There was an urgent report today, and there was another riot among disaster victims in Mingzhou. This is not a big deal, just catch and cut it——

But the key point is that after those people made a fuss all the way to the government office, Zhang Yunsui, the magistrate of Mingzhou, not only failed to persuade them, but also took them down and punished them immediately, and even turned against them together!

It is said that he took off his official robe on the spot and took the lead in burning the plaque of the government office!

It was the first time he heard that the prefect who did not stop the riots of the people, but took the lead in the rebellion... How unreasonable!

Emperor Qingming was very troubled by this, his head was suddenly in severe pain, and his heart was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, and before that, he had seen Zhanyunzhu this afternoon - could it be that evil spirit invaded his body?

So it was passed down that the national teacher came to practice to exorcise evil spirits.

At this time, the national teacher just came out of the emperor's residence with a Taoist boy, and happened to meet Zhan Yunzhu who came to ask for an audience.

Seeing the national teacher, Zhan Yunzhu's eyes flickered slightly.

Why did His Majesty summon the National Teacher late at night?

Zhan Yunzhu suppressed his inner speculation for the time being, walked down the steps, and said to the inner supervisor guarding outside the hall: "Zhan has just heard about the Mingzhou incident, and came here late at night to ask His Majesty—"

In the words, there is a faint intention to come to offer advice.

The inner supervisor entered the room and reported the original words to Emperor Qingming.

Emperor Qingming, who was leaning on the couch and pressing his temples, heard that it was Zhanyunzhu, and immediately felt his head hurt even more, his breathing became more difficult, and even his whole body was immediately eroded and surrounded by cold air—this chill was definitely not his illusion !

Looking at the emperor who seemed to be trembling a little, Li Ji hesitated whether to close the window that was suddenly blown in by the cold wind - it was because His Majesty was not breathing well and asked him to open it for ventilation.
