Mo Jingzhan: "If not, how to explain her behavior?"

They have all reached the age of taking care of themselves, and their daughter and son-in-law’s family are about to return to Beijing. The good day for family reunion is just around the corner. If the clues had not fallen into the hands of others, how could they risk the disdain of the world and poison the emperor?

Li Huang lowered his eyes and said, "We need to investigate carefully."

After the two of them left the emperor's palace, they parted ways.

Mo Jingzhan left the palace directly, while Li Huang went to Ci'an Palace where Concubine Xu lived.

The entire Ci'an Palace has been surrounded by the imperial army. Not even a fly can fly out, and they are waiting for the emperor's order to deal with it.

The matter happened in their palace. If the emperor wanted to execute Concubine Xu, then none of the servants they were serving would survive.

When Li Huang arrived, everyone in the palace was trembling with fear.

"The epidemic has been completely cured a few days ago. How did you get those decoctions? Whose hands did they pass through? If you don't explain it to me today, when my father wakes up, you, the whole palace, will

, all will die.”

Lingyuan brought her a chair, and she found a shade tree in the yard and sat down.

Ling Yuan stood forward and said in a cold voice: "When the eldest princess asks you, you'd better answer truthfully. If there is anyone who conceals something, not only you will not survive, but your family members outside the palace will not survive either. Regicide is what it is."

A grave crime to punish the nine clans!"

boom!

Concubine Xu's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she slid to the ground without any strength, staring blankly ahead.

"I advise Mrs. Xu to tell her as soon as possible if she has anything to say. Otherwise, as soon as Princess Anyang and his wife return to Beijing, I will have people arrest them immediately. By then, your family will be reunited in prison."

Li Huang raised his lips: "I don't even pay attention to you, the concubine, so what does it mean to be an aunt who is separated by several layers of belly?"

"Concubine Xu, why do you want to murder His Majesty? You don't want Princess Anyang to succeed you, do you?"

Mrs. Xu didn't doubt at all that she really dared to do that.

"You are so brave!" Ling Yuan raised her eyebrows, "By helping Concubine Xu to murder Your Majesty, do you want to share the crime with her?"

Li Huang sneered: "You, the grandmother, are the culprit of harming them. What does this have to do with me?"

At this time, Li Huang's voice came from outside the prison door: "Concubine Xu wants to die. Aren't you afraid that after the crown prince ascends the throne, Princess Anyang and her family will be buried with you?"

If she hadn't died, Princess Anyang might have been implicated.

Moreover, the handle is not small.

"Oh? But I am just a princess. You don't need to care about your reputation after death. If you kill my father, I will definitely pay for it with the lives of Princess Anyang and her family. Concubine Xu, can you afford to bet?"

However, Concubine Xu refused to explain her motive for regicide and insisted on her death, which gave the eunuchs a headache.

The palace maid hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Highness, I don't know this. I also obey orders. The concubine said she would keep those medicines and send them back to the Imperial Hospital to study the formula. I don't know that the antidote can also be used as a poison."

Li Huang signaled to the guards to take the two palace ladies down. She got up and went to the Shenxing Department.

After all, this was the late emperor's woman, and they would not dare to torture her easily before the emperor gave the order.

For a moment, Concubine Xu regretted it.

If they knew it, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing even if they had hundreds of heads.

Furthermore, she was also the emperor's sister. Considering this family affection, the prince would not do anything to her. Otherwise, he would kill his aunt as soon as he ascended the throne, which would leave a bad reputation for murder.

The palace officials looked at each other in shock. They all knew what kind of serious crime regicide was, and they did not dare to hide it immediately. They all stood up and began to identify it.

Li Huang retracted her foot that she had just stepped out. She turned her head and narrowed her eyes.

Concubine Xu was imprisoned in Shenxingsi at this time.

She was not afraid of boiling water and said: "Anyang is already the daughter-in-law of the Liu family. The crimes I committed will not implicate her."

Concubine Xu didn't seem to expect that she would come to such a place in person, so she sneered.

Concubine Xu panicked all of a sudden. She shouted, "If I say that I didn't inflict the poison, would you believe it?"

"Besides, my friendship with them is only the two or three months since they returned to Beijing. Do you really think they can compare with my cousins ​​from my mother's family?"

It's over, she originally wanted to save them, but she never thought that she would actually harm them.

The eunuch responsible for interrogating Princess Anyang asked in a sharp voice.

She stood outside the cell door, looking down at Concubine Xu, her eyes shining with determination.

She had calculated the prince's temperament accurately, but she had not guessed it. She also had an eldest princess who was not limited by the history books of future generations.

The amount of medicine sent by the Tai Hospital was based on the number of people on the reported list. For the one or two people they deliberately dragged to death, the amount of medicine was naturally left.

"Your Highness, my servant said that there were several people in the palace who got the disease before, but then some of them were about to die, so... they were not given any medicine."

Concubine Xu only gave birth to a daughter. It was best for her to be content with the status quo. Rebellion would undoubtedly be a dead end.

The man's voice became lower and lower, for fear of offending Li Huang.

As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to walk away.

Before anyone stepped into Shenxingsi, they heard Concubine Xu's hysterical howling from a distance: "I told you that I was the one who poisoned Your Majesty. Kill me. Kill me quickly!"

This is an eldest princess who has done such embarrassing things as betraying her subordinates. What does it mean to kill a few royal family members?

"Li Huang, she is your aunt!"

Moreover, they never imagined that Concubine Xu would be so courageous that she would even dare to commit regicide.

Li Huang raised her eyebrows, she was so eager to seek death, it seemed that Mo Jingzhan's guess was right, someone had caught her.

"What did you say? You didn't inject the poison?"

Concubine Xu choked for a moment and then said: "But those two born in Anyang are your cousins. They live in your eldest princess's mansion these days and get along well with you. You really have the heart to hurt them."

?”

Concubine Xu no longer had the fearless aura she had just now. She threw herself in front of the cell door, clutching the door bars tightly, her eyes tearing open.

Could it be that the old witch felt that she wanted to implicate her daughter, so she temporarily retracted her confession?

The eunuch in charge of the interrogation also looked confused. He had locked her up here and interrogated her for several hours, but the other person kept saying the same thing, saying that she should be put to death as soon as possible.

Why did she retort as soon as the eldest princess came?

If the murderer was not her, then all the servants in the palace would never have a chance to live happily.

Concubine Xu stood up holding the iron door, staring at Li Huang and said: "It's true that I didn't inflict the poison, it was that bitch Luo Bin!"

Everyone: "..."
