Vol 3 Chapter 87: Who is the mastermind

Walking out of Jingyang Palace, Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi immediately saw the imperial concubine Wan Yuyao kneeling outside the palace gate.
Her whole body was plain white in her clothes and trousers, her long black hair reached the ground, no jewellery was seen on her head, and she was crying at the grievance of Emperor Xiao.
Seeing the emperor stepped across the threshold and directly onto Long Nian, she cried out in tears:
"The emperor, the emperor! Is Sister Yu okay? It was the concubine who caused her to be guilty, and the concubine should not, absolutely shouldn't, take her to the court of the concubine without authorization. The emperor, the concubine is not guilty. May be pardoned, please ask the emperor to punish you heavily.
The woman immediately slammed her head and slammed her head on the ground for real, and hit the brick floor with a "boom".
Looking up again, she cried miserably.
On the sedan chair, the emperor closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, his face was dignified, and he couldn't bear to say to the woman:
"You go back, noisy here can only disturb Concubine Yu's recuperation. I will investigate the case thoroughly overnight. If it is found that it is indeed related to you, I will no longer take care of you and my past relationship. If it is with you No matter, I will personally deal with the real murderer and return you innocent."
"The concubine thanked the emperor."
The woman hid her face and sobbed.
Leng Qingtang stood at the end of the team without changing his face, listening to the conversation between the emperor and the concubine, and was shocked for a while.
Wan Yuyao, not to lose as a scheming vicious woman‐‐
In the past, based on Leng Qingtang's understanding of her, the Jingyang Palace must be her manipulating the pushing hands behind her back.
But she is extremely good at doing it.
According to common sense analysis, if she wanted to act on the pregnant Concubine Yu, she would not take the initiative to invite her to Yongning Palace as a guest. After all, Concubine Yu had a golden body, and the women in the harem were used to avoid taboos. If she accidentally caused her to dodge her body, how could anyone else Don't eat melon?
Now that Concubine Yu had an accident, Wan Yuyao ran off her hairpins and pleaded guilty. Instead of pretending to be a low posture of remorse and repentance, she was able to eliminate suspicion and locked the secondary insurance. Instead, she taught everyone that the murderer must Not her!
On the side, Gu Yunxi's eyes were gloomy, cold and sharp as a knife, and her exquisite lips were drawn into a thin line. He was staring at Wan Yuyao, biting his teeth with hatred.
Leng Qingtang looked forward sadly, and whispered:
"Girl, at this moment my heartache is as great as you, but for the overall situation, we still have to bear it now."
...
The wind hits the window lattice, making a low whimper like the cry of the dead, and the lights in the hall flicker.
In the bleak silence of Nuan Pavilion, Gu Yunyao slowly opened her eyes.
Song Qin was guarded by the bed, her eyes swollen like rotten peaches soaked by tears, staring straight at the master without squinting.
Seeing that the master woke up from his drowsiness, Songqin cried with joy and choked:
"Master, you are awake, how do you feel now..."
Gu Yunyao moved her arms tremblingly, and across the quilt, her cold fingertips stroked her flat stomach.
When Songqin saw this, her heart was even more cruel, and she collapsed on the bed and cried:
"Master, it's not good to be a slave maid... Oh, the little prince is gone...You can beat a slave maid, it's the slave maid that failed to serve the good master..."
"Where is Zhao An..."
"Duke Zhao and the others were all being tortured by the emperor Ye Ting, master, the slaves are incompetent..."
"Hey, it really hurts them..."
Gu Yunyao speaks weakly, her pale face has no warmth, her eyes are hollow, she looks stiffly towards the top curtain of the bed veil, the calmness makes people feel palpitation and restlessness.
A line of tears rolled onto the soft pillow, and the woman licked her lips with difficulty, gave a bitter smile, and then cried to herself:
"The emperor of this palace... he really shouldn't have come to this world. This is good. From now on, the three of our masters and servants will take Yunxi together. It should be the best..."
‐‐
Qinming Hall is brightly lit.
Time slowly moved forward in silent waiting.
For Gu Yunxi, this long night was quite tormenting.
Although she was not on duty in Jingyang Palace before, she had some friendship with the two chiefs on the other end, and when she learned that they were taken down by the furious emperor, her heart was always worried for them.
Gu Yunxi was naturally aware of the most tormenting punishments and methods in the forbidden court. As soon as the emperor Jin spoke out, he only gave Ye Tingsi an hour to interrogate. It seemed that Zhao An and the others would have to suffer a lot.
The sharp eyes looked at the dragon chair. Suddenly, grief and hatred were surging like sea water, sweeping her whole body overwhelmingly.
The nightmare that had haunted her since childhood reappeared in her mind again, and each picture was vivid and bloody.
Now, the person who created that nightmare is right in front of her! She had never had such a strong hatred before, and she almost wanted to rush out with a knife, personally as the real murderer who persecuted the governor and her whole family.
The footsteps were in a hurry, coming in from outside the palace.
Grandpa Zhang walked to the dragon chair with a whisk in his hand, bowed and saluted the subject:
"Returning to the emperor, the slave followed the emperor's verbal order to the imprisonment of Ye Tingsi. At the time of the trial, Liuxia, the maidservant of Jingyang Palace, could not bear it. She has admitted that she was poisoned by concubine Yu by the envoy. The existing confession is here, please The emperor has looked around."
The whole hall was in an uproar, everyone was shocked, panicked, and looked different.
The emperor filial piety was stunned for a while, and his eyes became dim all night, and his pupils were blazing, his face turned sharply, his brows and eyes were twisted and he waved to the chief eunuch, shouting:
"What do you tell me to look at! If you haven't brought that cheap maid up yet, I have to ask her personally why she should be unfaithful to the slave and frame the master‐‐"
Zhang Gonggong talked about his lips, looking embarrassed:
"Qing to the emperor, only because Ye Ting had severely tortured him, the slave was afraid that he would be covered with blood and stained holy eyes..."
"Bring it up ‐‐"
The emperor yelled violently and waved his dragon sleeve angrily at Zhang Gonggong.
Grandpa Zhang did not dare to say any more, bowed himself to salute:
"The slave follows the order."
Turned around and walked out, quickly turned back, leading the two servants to carry a trellis into the hall.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and everyone was eager to see the dying woman on the trellis.
As the trellis passed through Leng Qingtang's field of vision, he narrowed a pair of eyes, and the brilliance of a starlike light flashed quietly from the bottom of his eyes.
Someone in Jingyang Palace actually stood up and admitted, is it so simple?
No, something is definitely not right!
Gu Yunxi stood beside the governor, staring at the blood gourd-like person on the trellis without turning his eyes.
I saw that she was covered in wounds, and the blood that was constantly pouring out had already stained the vine frame, and dripped drop by drop from the gaps between the vines to the ground. As she carried it into the hall, two or three lines were left The blood line of the dragon blends with the red of the flying dragon embroidered carpet.
Gu Yunxi raised his eyes wide in an instant, the fierce light in his eyes would show up, his hands clenched into fists.
The trellis fell five steps away from the dragon chair, and the small bumps when it touched the ground made the people on it wake up leisurely, and then the body was painful and could not help but groan.
Grandpa Zhang nodded, shaking the whisk:
"Enjoy the emperor, the palace servant Liuxia brought it."
Emperor Xiao looked down, and immediately his facial features were ferocious and bitter, his fat hand slammed the golden armrest of the dragon-head dumpling beads on the chair, and asked angrily:
"You are Liuxia? Answer me, in any position in Jingyang Palace, who instructed you to harm Concubine Yu and our emperor!"
The maidservant raised his head sloppily, and his scattered hair was covered with blood stains and stuck to the pergola.
"emperor……"
Difficult to open his mouth, the maidservant's voice was weak and weak, as small as the wind:
"Back to the emperor, the maidservant is Jingyang Palace... The maidservant in the small kitchen, it is the maidservant who injects the fetal medicine into the porridge of the empress, which caused the empress to abort..."
There was a little noise in the hall, and everyone was frightened and looked at each other, but they did not dare to talk too loudly.
Faced with the more chaotic situation, Leng Qingtang's mind became clearer, staring at the woman on the trellis, calmly thinking and quickly analyzing.
The man on the dragon chair was already furious, and his roar made the ground under his feet tremble three times:
"Why do you want to harm Concubine Yu, tell me clearly ‐‐"
The maidservant's body trembled and wept in mourning:
"The emperor didn't know, because the servant's father was gambled and owed huge debts, the servants and servants were desperate to steal the belongings from the palace and take them out of the palace to relieve their urgent need and not want to be discovered.
She threatened the slave and maidservant to help her, or she would report the slave. The slave servant was afraid of being punished, and fearing that the resistance would affect his family, so she had to obey her.
Today, I heard that the imperial concubine summoned Master Yu to go to Yongning Palace for a chat. She sent someone to meet with the servant and quietly gave the servant this package, asking the servant to put it in the master's diet.
However, after the master returned to the palace, only bird's nest porridge was spread, and the slave and maid had no choice but to pour the abortion medicine into the porridge. "
The monarchs and concubines in the palace are all shocked.
Emperor Xiao was furious, and yelled angrily:
"Tell me, who is forcing you to do this ‐‐"
Facing the emperor's Long Yin questioning, Liu Xia's wounded body was obviously shocked, and her entire face, contaminated with blood, could not be seen clearly.
For a moment of silence, she lowered her head slowly and feebly.
Queen Qian was waiting anxiously while sitting on a phoenix chair. She almost had a headache again. She smashed her leg with her fingers intertwined and urged impatiently:
"The emperor asks you, just say it quickly ‐‐"
"Yes, yes... Empress Xu from Chuxiu Palace!"
