Except for Zongdi who sat on the main seat, the empress and Feng Yege sat on one side, everyone else stood on the main hall, and the former Wen Po and the imperial doctor knelt on the ground.
They had already pronounced that Concubine Ying, who was no longer alive, had come back to life, and it was good that the emperor didn't cut them off right away.
"Yege, you said earlier that this is indeed a must-see grass, but have you seen it before?"
Feng Yege's cold eyes fell on the dozens of herbs indifferently, and he said casually: "I haven't seen the real ones, but there are records in the "Hundred Herbal Medicine Books." After he finished speaking, he took a deep look at Lou Qingwu. At a glance, the latter's originally silent gaze was startled when he heard "Hundred Herbs and Medicines", turned his head, and his eyes fell on Feng Yege's face, and then retracted calmly. Lou Qingwu did not expect Feng Yege to have read that medical book, because she suffered from the misfortune grass in her previous life, and she always encountered nightmares when she dreamed back at midnight. Zicao records.
"Oh? Since it's Ye Ge you prove it, then I believe the words of Lou's parents and daughters. Lou's parents, you said that you agree that the queen was wronged, but even if Juezicao is indeed the culprit who killed the emperor, you can't." Let the queen be exonerated, then, how do you prove the queen's innocence?"
Everyone also held their breath, waiting for Lou Qingwu's answer.
She lowered her eyes silently, her face was quiet and gentle, "Report to the emperor, because the servant knows who framed the queen."
"Ah?" Everyone exclaimed, who is it? They looked around one after another, and even Emperor Zong and Xia Hourui also showed surprised expressions. In the whole hall, only Feng Yege and Lou Qingwu had no emotions on their faces. Feng Yege had a smile on his mouth, just The whole person is still not popular, giving people a feeling of emptiness for no reason.
"You, seriously? Who is it?" Emperor Zong sat up straight after being shocked.
Lou Qingwu glanced around carelessly, everyone was so frightened that their little hearts almost jumped out, for fear that she would say her name, but Lou Qingwu turned her gaze around, and finally landed on the kneeling ground. Wen Po's body: "It's her."
"You're talking nonsense!"
That Wen Po was terrified, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this old servant has never done anything to harm your mother!" While speaking, she kowtowed desperately, and blood soon came out, which made Emperor Zong feel disgusted , endured the discomfort and looked at Lou Qingwu: "How are you sure it's hers?"
Lou Qingwu didn't answer, but walked forward slowly, and stood in front of the Wen Po, until she stared at the Wen Po uneasy and raised her head, terrified and distraught: "Miss Lou, where is the old slave? It's blocking your eyes, you want to hurt the old slave like this?!"
Lou Qingwu just stared at her, making her more and more uneasy and guilty.
Her head lowered lower and lower, and just when her psychological defense was about to collapse, Lou Qingwu suddenly spoke out, but this time, the voice was very loud, and she asked sharply, "Where did you find the witch doll?!"
"Ah, bed, under the bed!" Startled, the woman replied reflexively.
Hearing her answer, Lou Qingwu twitched the corner of her mouth maliciously, turned around in satisfaction, and her face became calm again, "Your Majesty, I have finished asking my daughter."
"Finished asking?" The people in the hall were also taken aback by her just now, and now they were all taken aback when they heard this. How sure is this
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with little understanding, only Feng Yege and Xia Hourui's faces were indifferent, Feng Yege's handsome face was indifferent from the beginning to the end, Xia Hourui understood the meaning of Lou Qingwu's words, and shook hands The tense shoulders of the empress next to her said, "Empress mother, it's all right."
"What... do you mean? Why didn't I understand?"
Lou Qingwu stood there dignifiedly, like a green bamboo, gentle and quiet. Hearing Emperor Zong's words, she said in an orderly manner: "My Majesty, the matter is like this. The servant girl deliberately asked her when she was in a trance. At that time , She didn't have time to think about it at all, and the words she said were not thought through by the brain, and they were the most real thoughts. Then, the witch doll was indeed found under the bed as she said, but, she is a stable woman. The concubine had dystocia, and the little prince was stillborn, but at such a critical juncture, instead of saving Concubine Ying, she thought about finding witches under the bed, her intentions... really go without saying."
After her cool analysis, everyone's scalps suddenly became numb. After thinking about it, it was indeed true. At that time, everyone was as anxious as ants on a messy pot. If you are not dedicated enough, why would you care about anything else? Later, she was even more startled by witchcraft, and didn't pay attention to what Wen Po said at the time. Now that I think about it, there are indeed many flaws. In such a critical moment, this woman not only lost her mind, but even walked under the bed? Unless she knew in advance that there were witchcraft dolls hidden there!
Emperor Zong's eyes were almost protruding, staring at Wen Po, gnashing his teeth, wishing he could eat her to death, "Evil slave! How dare you do such evil things under my nose! The crime is unforgivable!"
Wen Po was terrified, her whole body was shaking like chaff, and suddenly her head drooped heavily, and she didn't move.
Lou Qingwu's face changed slightly, "Hold her down!"
Just waiting for the guards to step forward, it was still a step too late, Wen Po had already bit her tongue and killed herself, looking at Wen Po with her eyes tightly closed and bleeding from the corner of her mouth, the whole hall fell into a deathly silence, everyone was in danger, Emperor Zong was even more angry Bang Majestic stood up abruptly, his chest was heaving violently, his eyes were red and ferocious, "Come here! Drag this evil slave out to whip his corpse, this is what will happen to my emperor! Where is the young minister of Dali Temple? Quickly call him to see me!"
"Yes!" The imperial guard quickly dragged the man out, and the eunuch Liu Jin immediately went to the palace gate to summon the courtiers who were waiting.
Lou Qingwu took a few steps back expressionlessly, stood there silently, and kept her presence to a minimum. If it wasn't for this incident, she would not have planned to expose herself so early. But now that things have come to this point, she can only let nature take its course, plan step by step, and be careful.
At this point, she must never take another wrong step.
Not long after, the great eunuch Liu Jin brought a young man into the main hall. The man was dressed in a scarlet official gown, wearing a silver fish bag, with a handsome jade face, gentle and humble. Mu Yunqing.
"My lord, Mu Yunqing has met my emperor, long live my emperor." Mu Yunqing kowtowed and saluted, got up after hearing Emperor Zong's reply, and stood aside respectfully.
"Mu Yunqing, I will give you three days to find out what happened tonight, otherwise, you can do it yourself!"
"Yes, I will not disgrace my life!"
"Let's all step back." Emperor Zong looked tired. So many things happened in one night, he had already lost his mind to celebrate his birthday, but his eyes fell on the empress who looked equally haggard not far away, and couldn't help comforting the two. Sentence: "The empress is also frightened today, I will definitely seek justice for you. Ruier, Liuyun, take your empress back to Kunning Palace."
"Yes, father."
The queen lowered her eyes and was rude, and then, with the support of Xia Hourui and Xiahou Liuyun, she walked towards the outside of the hall. When she passed by Lou Qingwu, Xia Hourui took a second look at Lou Qingwu, and her black eyes were full of tears. With a touch of comfort, he wanted to say something, thought for a while, then pursed his thin lips, just nodded, and left quickly. Lou Qingwu looked at his back for a while, but her eyes turned to the scarlet-robed man in the main hall.
Mu Yun... Qing.
Silently chewing on the name, Lou Qingwu's eyes were full of emotions that no one could understand.
And on the side she didn't know, Ye Wang Feng Yege inadvertently raised his eyes, followed her gaze and landed on Mu Yunqing, his slender phoenix eyes narrowed faintly, and there was a gleam of light between them, But it was well hidden by him, fleeting and silent.
