The silver needle was caught by Linghu Shuiyue's hands one centimeter away from the Queen Mother's eyes! That's because Linghu Shuiyue is the closest to the Queen Mother. For the rest of them, no matter how good their martial arts are, because the distance is too far, they cannot save the Queen Mother Lafayette.
The Empress Dowager broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted sharply: "Which concubine's palace maid is this?"
"She is Concubine Cen, a maid in Xiuyang Palace." A concubine pointed out immediately.
Concubine Cen recently entered the palace. From being a beautiful girl to being named Zhaoyi to being a noble concubine, she has gone straight to the ninth heaven. I don't know how many concubines are jealous and hate, wishing that she would die early.
Concubine Cen had already knelt down in front of the emperor one step earlier, she shook her head in horror and shouted: "Your Majesty, what this lowly servant girl has done has nothing to do with this concubine, and this concubine is completely ignorant, please be careful!"
"Pull it out and kill it with a stick!" The Empress Dowager was so furious that she asked Concubine Cen to go out and ask for a stick to kill her without even wanting to interrogate her. I heard that Concubine Cen confuses the emperor because she took advantage of the absence of the queen mother to persuade the emperor to appoint the prince of the East Palace.
The Queen Mother had long wanted to get rid of her.
Concubine Cen looked at the emperor, the empress, and Eunuch Zhang standing beside the empress in horror. They looked at her coldly one by one, as if no one was going to come forward to save her.
In fact, the queen and Eunuch Zhang are still in shock at the moment! They thought they could get rid of the queen mother with this plan, and the purpose was to put the blame on the Linghu brothers and sisters. As long as the Queen Mother takes the elixir and something happens, the Linghu brothers and sisters will be condemned to death.
That glass of water is really not poisonous! But when the queen mother takes medicine, the water she takes must be tried with silver needles beforehand. It's okay to try silver needles, as long as the Queen Mother takes the pills quickly.
The glass of water will be poisonous after adding the silver needle and taking the elixir. Now, why is the water poisonous before taking the elixir? Their plan turned out to be flawless!
Their mistake was that they used Hua Xiaochun to serve this glass of water. Linghu Shuiyue and Linghu Huori followed into Hua Xiaochun's room that night, and knew that Hua Xiaochun was Cen Lanting.
Since this glass of water was brought by Hua Xiaochun himself, how can there be no problem? If there is no problem, it will be even more problematic!
So, it's better to take the initiative to let the water go wrong before the queen mother takes the elixir! When Linghu Shuiyue took advantage of others not paying attention, she dropped a small pill in her sleeve, and there would be a problem with the water!
Concubine Cen went crazy when she was in a hurry, but she managed to calm down in an instant, and shouted: "Queen Mother, please spare your life! This concubine doesn't know anything! Queen Mother! How could this lowly maid poison the Queen Mother's water? That must be true. There is a mastermind! After the Queen Mother finds out, it is not too late to kill the concubine. The emperor, the emperor save the concubine! The concubine is innocent."
Could it be that the Queen and Eunuch Zhang are not going to save her? Now, apart from begging the emperor for extra mercy, she is in a desperate situation.
Because of her screaming, the queen mother calmed down a little, and asked grimly: "Say! As long as you tell who ordered you to do this, Aijia will give you a whole body."
Concubine Cen glanced at the queen and Eunuch Zhang behind the queen, her whole body trembled, thinking that if the poison on her body had no antidote, life would be worse than death, how could she dare to identify it
However, just because she glanced at the queen, the queen mother's eyes fell sharply on the queen's face.
At this moment, the empress suddenly said: "Concubine Cen is the emperor's new favorite, and she has been very fond of the emperor recently. It stands to reason that she has no reason to harm the empress dowager. Could this cheap temper have another owner? Or, someone is jealous of Concubine Cen's favor. And to harm her."
Concubine Cen was enlightened, and immediately kowtowed and said in a "dong dong" sound: "I beg the queen mother, Lafayette, for mercy! This concubine really doesn't know why this lowly maid wants to harm Lafayette!"
"Pull it out! First hit with a staff of one hundred, and then hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial!"
Concubine Cen was pulled out, and the emperor never pleaded for her from the beginning to the end.
