Not only Que'er, but also Yunxi on the side also fell to the ground.
"Dead?" Prince Jing frowned, bent down to check the two maids, confirmed that they had swallowed their breath, checked again, and then pulled out two silver needles from the back of their necks, and said with a smile , "This needle is poisonous, this method is really clumsy, frame the blame, and then kill people to silence it?"
The queen squinted her eyes and didn't speak. Yun Chang's eyes swept across her face lightly, and said with a smile, "Just now this court lady was clearly going to point out the serious murderer, but she was killed. From the position of the poisonous needle Come and see, the murderer must be behind Que'er and Yunxi, so the range is much narrower."
No one in the hall spoke, and when the people in the hall were in a stalemate, suddenly a eunuch rushed in, "Your Majesty, something has been stolen from Changchun Palace, and the queen's seal is missing."
Emperor Ning raised his eyes, a storm was brewing in his eyes, "Seal the palace, search one by one."
"It's really a wave of ups and downs, and another wave. If this is the case, then please trouble the father to take care of these people behind Que'er and Yunxi. The queen's seal is important, and I will go and see how Miss Li is doing. " Yun Chang's eyes swept over everyone, turned around and walked towards the door.
"You can't go, you are still the most suspected here, but you want to see cousin Yingying, what's your intention?" Hua Jing's voice came from behind, Yun Shang turned her head to look at Hua Jing with a sinister face, the corner of her mouth turned I couldn't help but raised the corners of my mouth, "Princess Huajing, why don't we go together?"
Hua Jing gritted her teeth, and said with a smile, "Of course we want to be together. Yingying is my princess's cousin, and this princess should naturally care about her." Then she brushed Yun Shang's body and went straight to the side hall go.
As soon as he walked to the door, he was bumped by a servant who hurried over. Hua Jing shook his body violently. Subconsciously, he protected his abdomen. Others didn't notice Hua Jing's movements, but they just It fell into Yun Chang's eyes.
"How did you walk?" Hua Jing scolded angrily.
The servant hurriedly supported Hua Jing, and knelt down when Hua Jing stood still, "Princess forgive me, princess forgive me."
Hua Jing gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth, this is in the palace, even though his heart was extremely angry, he could only hold back, "It's okay, get up." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the side hall.
Yun Chang lowered her head, "Since the emperor has gone to visit, Chang'er will go later." There was a bit of grievance in her eyes.
Everyone could see clearly just now, it was obvious that Princess Yunshang was framed, but Princess Huajing looked aggressive, she seemed to dislike Princess Yunshang, thinking that Princess Yunshang was just born of a concubine, Although Concubine Jin has received all the favors, but, to put it bluntly, she is just a concubine, and the status of a concubine is very humble even in ordinary people's homes, let alone in a particularly complicated palace.
Emperor Ning was slightly touched in his heart, and then lowered his head to look at Concubine Jin, but saw that Concubine Jin seemed to have a sad expression, her eyes kept falling on Yunshang. Emperor Ning became even more displeased with Hua Jing, saying that the child was the flesh that fell from his mother. Although Concubine Jin had little contact with Chang'er, mother and child were connected. Seeing her daughter being wronged like this, Concubine Jin felt It must be very sad.
A group of maids and servants came in from the outside, and they went to the palace to salute Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning nodded and said, "The queen's seal is lost. I'm afraid someone deliberately did it. I want to borrow it from the family members of the ministers in the palace tonight. Back and forth, the Queen's seal was quietly taken out of the palace. The consequences of losing the Queen's seal will be disastrous, so please cooperate with the search."
Everyone didn't dare to say anything, so they followed the maids or servants to the side hall one by one. Everyone in the hall checked one by one, but they couldn't find the queen's seal.
At this moment, Hua Jing walked in.
"Jing'er, go search yourself too." Emperor Ning looked at Hua Jing indifferently.
Hua Jing frowned, "Father, what did Jing'er do with the queen's seal? A body search, forget it."
Emperor Ning frowned slightly, "Everyone in this hall, including Shang'er and Prince Jing, have been searched, and you are no exception, go."
Hua Jing bit her lip, but she also knew that if she said it again, it would definitely arouse Emperor Ning's disgust. Hua Jing raised his hand and touched his belly. Fortunately, it wasn't very obvious. Thinking in this way, Hua Jing followed a court lady into the side hall.
After a while, the court lady hurried over, "Reporting to the emperor, I didn't find the queen's seal on Princess Huajing, but I saw this in the princess's sleeve."
In the hand of the palace maid was a small green jade bottle, and Emperor Ning's eyes darkened a bit, "Teach the imperial physician, let's see what's in this bottle."
The queen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her eyes fell on the blue vial, "The left and right are just some common medicines, and they are usually taken to prevent some accidents."
A bit of sarcasm flashed in Yun Chang's eyes, yes, many ladies and gentlemen used to bring some ordinary medicine bottles when they went out, just in case, but it is unusual for this thing to appear on Hua Jing right now. One is because, generally, these medicine bottles are carried by maids and servants, and the other is because this is in the palace, and when they go to the palace for banquets, they will be strictly inspected when they enter the palace. Possibly brought into the palace.
It's just that the queen probably hasn't been in or out of the palace for a long time, so she doesn't know such a simple truth.
Before the imperial physician came from the side hall, Hua Jing ran in with a anxious expression, "Father, queen, this thing does not belong to me at all, and I don't know why it appeared in my sleeve. , the father, the queen, and the queen must decide for the children..."
"Sister Huang, the palace is heavily guarded. Could it be that someone can put such a bottle in your sleeve without anyone noticing it? It's too scary." Yun Shang exclaimed, eyes full of surprised.
The imperial doctor came in a hurry, took the vial from the hand of the maid, examined it carefully for a long while, and said, "Your Majesty, this bottle contains poison, which is the poison that Miss Li poisoned."
Hua Jing's complexion suddenly turned pale, and he turned his head to look at Empress Yuanzhen and said, "Mother, someone framed my son, and my son was wronged..."
"The queen mother believes in you." The queen gritted her teeth, her heart was full of astonishment, why, why the bottle was on Jinger's body, it should be...
"Empress, this is a bit unfair. It was just a little maid who said that Princess Yunshang's maid had been to Cangzhen Pavilion, and everyone insisted that it was Princess Yunshang who poisoned her. The bottle was found from Princess Huajing, so why does the Empress think that someone is framing Princess Huajing?" Prince Jing had a bit of irony in his eyes, and the words fell on everyone's ears, but Another meaning.
"Report..." Another guard ran in, "Report to the emperor, when I was searching the palace, I saw a servant probing his head near Meiying Pavilion. He was very suspicious, so I took him for interrogation. This is the servant. The confession..." There was a piece of parchment lying quietly in the guard's hand.
Meiying Pavilion, this name appeared more than once or twice tonight, everyone's eyes fell on the parchment, wondering what it is
"Present." Emperor Ning said coldly.
Manager Zheng quickly came down from the top, took the parchment from the guards, and presented it to Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning unfolded the parchment and looked at it briefly. There were blue veins on his forehead, and anger gathered in his eyes:
"Come on, bring that servant up."
Two guards outside the hall dragged a servant in, as if he had been tortured, the servant's body still had blood dripping from his fingertips.
"Repeat what you just said." Emperor Ning's eyes were cold, staring straight at the servant shuddered, and his body fell on the ground, trembling slightly.
"The servant said, the servant said, the servant is the eunuch who is responsible for cleaning the Meiying Pavilion. He dozed off for a while, but was woken up by a sound. The servant heard that a woman ordered someone to apply poison on the zither, and said that they would send someone to try to get the maid beside Princess Yunshang to come to the Zangzhen Pavilion Once there, let them insist that it was the medicine given by Princess Yunshang's maid. Then the voice disappeared, and the servant was thinking of leaving quietly, but he heard footsteps again. The servant was afraid and did not dare to leave. Hearing the woman's order, when taking the sticks for Miss Li, replace all the sticks with pipas. If someone asks, they will say that Princess Yunshang sent a maid to give the order, and this is all I have heard..."The servant Hastily kowtowed several times, "The slave heard such a thing, and was afraid that someone would retaliate against the slave, so he never dared to say it."
Emperor Ning was furious, and slammed the table, "On the contrary, there is such a vicious person in this palace, have you seen the appearance of that person?"
The servant shook his head again and again, "I didn't see it, but I vaguely saw the woman wearing a blue skirt with white pear flowers embroidered on it... The servant heard that a court lady called that woman, princess..."
Princess... There are only two princesses in Ningguo, Hua Jing and Yunshang, and Yunshang will definitely not blame herself, so there is only one possibility left...
Everyone's eyes fell on the somewhat pale Hua Jing, and the Tsing Yi... took a look at the hem of the skirt, and it was indeed embroidered with white pear flowers.
"Heh..." Those who can dare to laugh out loud at this time, except Prince Jing, don't think otherwise, "Prime Minister Li, the murderer who murdered your granddaughter is now very obvious. Princess Huajing is really brave and scheming." Well, using my cousin as a bait to blame my imperial sister, I am worthy of being the empress's daughter."
The meaning of these words is really strong, but at this time, no one pays attention, and many people can't help being a little shocked. Isn't Princess Huajing always respected by others for her talent and kindness? No one thought that such a vicious mind was hidden under that beautiful and gentle face.
"This is clearly a blame game. This princess has never done such things. I don't know why this medicine bottle is in my princess's sleeve. By the way, it must be the eunuch just now. It must be the eunuch who stuffed the bottle into this princess." It's in the princess's sleeve." Hua Jing yelled loudly, his face distorted by anger into something ugly.
Emperor Ning frowned, "What's the matter, come here, take the princess down, and hand it over to Dali Temple."
When Hua Jing heard this, he became even more anxious, "Father, my son was wronged. Empress, you have to say something to my son..."
Yun Chang saw that the queen's hand on the table was slightly clenched, and her long nails were deeply sunken into the flesh. Yun Chang slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, so it hurts? This is just the beginning...
"Your Majesty, the Queen's seal is found." The person who came was a servant of the Concubine Ming's palace, and Emperor Ning smiled coldly, "It's good if you find it."
After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes again, glanced back and forth between Prime Minister Li and the crowd, and then softly asked the imperial physician standing beside him, "Is Miss Li all right?"
The imperial physician quickly responded, "My minister has given Miss Li the detoxification pill, and seeing how Miss Li is doing, she should be fine."
Emperor Ning nodded, "Everyone is frightened today, so let's leave first." After speaking, he got up first, got off the dragon chair, and stopped in front of Concubine Jin, "You are inconvenient , I will accompany you back to the palace."
Concubine Jin nodded meekly, stood up, and walked to Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning stretched out his arms to embrace Concubine Jin, and walked out of the Golden Luan Hall with her.
The empress, who was sitting high, turned even paler, stood up abruptly, and hurriedly left the Golden Luan Hall.
"Send off the emperor, send off the empress..." Everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
After the most important people had left, King Jing walked up to Yun Shang and said with a smile, "Shang'er was shocked today, let me give you a ride."
The eyes of everyone in the palace fell on Prince Jing and Yun Shang, and Prince Jing actually smiled? Everyone was shocked, thinking in their hearts, could it be that Prince Jing really likes Princess Yunshang? If Princess Yunshang had Prince Jing as her backing, the emperor loved Concubine Jin very much just now, and Concubine Jin is still pregnant, then some things really need to be reconsidered...
Yun Shang didn't bother to guess what everyone was thinking, she also wanted to ask Prince Jing about something in her heart, but she didn't refuse, and walked out towards the Golden Luan Hall.
Qin Yi hurriedly took the cloak and was about to put it on Yun Chang, but was picked up by King Jing. King Jing unfolded the cloak and put it on Yun Chang softly, "It's cold outside, fasten the cloak first, You are weak, don't catch a cold."
Yun Chang's footsteps paused, raised her hand, tied the cloak casually, and turned around to leave the gate of the Jinluan Hall.
The snow had stopped, and not far from the Golden Luan Hall, there was silence, only the sound of footsteps sounded quietly, Yun Chang sorted out her thoughts, and then said, "The emperor's movements are quite fast, but I don't know, What method did Uncle Huang use to get Emperor Father to agree to marry you?"
King Jing's low laughter came from beside him, "Give me a marriage? It's for us...Shang'er is really smart, for the sake of this marriage edict, I handed over the soldier talisman."
Soldiers? Yunshang paused, Yunshang knew that this soldier talisman could mobilize nearly 500,000 troops from the Ning Kingdom. The first emperor divided the soldier talisman into two, and gave half to his father and half to King Jing. Since Prince Jing has worked so hard to get rid of the child in the concubine's belly, it shows that he has a heart for the throne. How can a person with such a heart be willing to hand over such an important thing as a military talisman
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, "Uncle Huang did this, why?"
Prince Jing curled his lips, "I thought I had made it clear when I was in the camp. I am pleased with you. For you, I am willing to give up this country. Has Chang'er ever been moved?"
Yun Chang heard the words, but laughed softly, the laughter became louder and louder, and it took a long time to stop, "Uncle Huang, this is the best joke Chang'er has ever heard."
Yun Chang turned around and looked at the people around her, "I was in the camp, when the emperor said those words to me, I still believed a little bit, but after the marriage decree, I didn't believe it at all. .”
"Oh? Why?" Prince Jing also stopped, and turned around to look at the woman who was a head closer to him.
"Even if Chang'er is more confident, he knows that my weight is definitely not as good as that heavy soldier talisman. Uncle Huang has planned for that position for more than ten years, and Uncle Huang and Shang'er have known each other for only a few short years. In just a few months, Uncle Huang loves Chang'er so much that he is even willing to give up his superior position for Chang'er, so if this is the case, Uncle Huang should save it to coax others." Yun Shang finished speaking , smiled, turned around and walked towards Qingxin Hall, King Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not keep up, and only after Qin Yi and Qianyin hurriedly followed, and as they walked further and further away, King Jing laughed Come on.
"Sure enough, it's still suspected."
Wang Shun stretched his neck and watched for a while, and when he could no longer see the figure, he said in a low voice, "My lord, Princess Yunshang doesn't seem to be soft and hard, and it's too difficult to deal with. Why do you insist on marrying her? That's a soldier talisman Ah, if the lord doesn't have the soldier talisman, then he really has nothing, lord, you are confused..."
"Soldier Talisman?" Prince Jing twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "I can get it back if I give it away."
"But..." Wang Shun sighed, "Why does the lord insist on Princess Yunshang? There are many people in the court who oppose Prime Minister Li, such as Mr. Qin Taiwei, whose young lady has just reached the age of Ji. When they are getting married, if Pulling Lord Taiwei into his command, the prince will have to travel a lot less..."
Prince Jing sneered, "Less walking a lot? If this king is married to Qin Taiwei, then the emperor will definitely pay attention to it and be jealous everywhere. This king is already jealous by him. If this happens, it will be even more difficult to move forward. The emperor After my brother ascended the throne, in the past 20 years, this king has led troops to fight outside for eighteen years. No matter how well deployed the imperial city is, this king cannot even enter the imperial city. What's the use in the hand, half a soldier talisman can't do anything, why don't you give it to him, so that he can feel at ease, and then marry his daughter, without the in-laws, he will be more at ease, and this king can take the opportunity to stay In the imperial city..."
"But, why not choose Princess Huajing, she is much easier to handle than Princess Yunshang..." Wang Shun suddenly heard Prince Jing's strategy, and his heart was full of admiration, but he had some doubts.
Prince Jing curled his lips coldly, "Hua Jing is indeed much stupider than Yun Shang, but she is the queen's daughter and Prime Minister Li's niece..."
