Mrs. Zhang knew she was in the wrong, and she was a little embarrassed at this time, "This Princess Jin is sleeping very deeply. I also saw the maid hesitating and vomiting, so naturally I couldn't help but think that something happened in this room. After all, Prince Jin was newly mourned, if Princess Jin was If something happens again, it will inevitably bring disgrace to the royal family."
Originally, Queen Min planned to expose the matter after she proved Jiang Nianjiao's innocence, but after listening to the Zhang family repeatedly poking at her sore spots, she naturally could not allow the Zhang family to show off their power here.
Therefore, she only looked at Zhang lightly. After all, she was a woman who had been a queen and had been in charge of the harem for more than ten years.
At this moment, even though Mrs. Zhang had known that she was already a waste queen, she actually felt a sense of oppression in the other person's eyes.
Queen Min only said softly, "If Princess Jin really behaves beyond the rules, I will not be the first to spare her!"
"But if someone uses the honor of the royal family to cover up their selfish motives, I will never tolerate it. And if I remember correctly, if the concubines in the harem or the imperial wives have bad moral conduct, the matter should be handed over to Zongzheng Temple for handling."
Queen Min's eyes were not sharp, but Zhang still felt guilty, so she did not dare to continue talking.
As for the other women, they only seemed to have returned to the time when they entered the palace to listen to the training. They lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
In fact, anyone who has had contact with Queen Min would not dare to make trouble with Queen Min. Even if Queen Min lost power, she still had enough prestige among the concubines in the harem.
After all, she acts with dignity, fairness and integrity, but she also has a kind heart. From the perspective of being a queen, she is actually blameless.
Even after she was deposed, some people just lamented privately that she was being dragged down by the Chen family.
That is to say, these new aristocratic families who came to power because of the overthrow of Chen are prone to despise her, and they only use the methods they used to step on the Chen family to build their prestige in this situation.
However, if you are smart, you will know that the Chen family's big house has been uprooted long ago, and the story of the Chen family should have turned over long ago.
Since Emperor Yong has not attacked Empress Min again, it would be foolish for anyone to step on this old waste empress again.
Emperor Yong might not care about the deposed queen, but this ruthless and merciless emperor will be liquidated by other people in the future. Their behavior today is most likely laying a trap for themselves.
Empress Min stopped talking and didn't bother to say anything else. After all, the pain of losing a child, and after her whole family was slaughtered, she was like the floating catkins with the roots cut off, with no place to rely on and no other aspirations. .
The little maid next to Queen Min only took the initiative to say, "Madams, this is not the place you should be here. Let's go out now."
Although Mrs. Zhang was unwilling to do so, she still had no choice but to withdraw. However, when she was withdrawing, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a figure lying on the screen beside her.
Could it be that the female husband actually hid somewhere else?
Mrs. Zhang felt overjoyed.
However, she had just been taught a lesson by Empress Min and slapped herself in the face, so she could no longer say those unflattering words at this time.
But Zhang was really not willing to let them both go.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang only acted as if she had sprained her foot, and then she suddenly fell sideways in the direction of the screen. As she fell to the ground, the bathtub and muhuan behind the screen naturally came into view, but In addition to these, there seemed to be a figure beside the barrel.
Everyone looked over and saw Chen Changnian, dressed in crimson clothes, lying next to the tub.
Ms. Zhang originally thought that the other party was her godfather, but she didn't expect that it was Chen Changnian who fell to the ground.
She didn't understand it for a while.
However, Queen Min reacted very quickly at this time. She just clarified the matter first and said loudly, "Here comes someone! A'qian has been poisoned and fainted. Please hurry up and ask the doctor to come over."
Seeing Queen Min's stern expression, and Miss Chen still lying next to the tub, others naturally realized that the situation was not good. If they continued to stay here longer, they would inevitably get into trouble.
Therefore, soon a woman smiled to please Queen Min and said, "My Lady, if there is nothing else at the moment, we will leave first."
As soon as someone spoke, no one else would stay. In an instant, all the people in the group just started to disperse.
However, Queen Min changed her indifferent attitude at this time. She only looked aggressive and said, "
Princess Jin was unconscious, and my niece fell next to the bathtub again. I still don’t know why, but you were sneaking around in front of the princess’s door. Apart from that, I didn't see any suspicious persons. You guys are leaving now. When the Zongzheng Temple comes, should you go to your houses to seek explanations from the ladies? "
Although the ladies did not know what was going on in this room, they also knew that they would not be able to clean themselves up even if they jumped into the Yellow River at this moment. Although Queen Min was a deposed queen, it concerned a princess and the daughter of a border military commander. clean.
If this matter gets serious, I'm afraid it will inevitably go through the hands of Zongzhengji. Although they have done nothing, if the murderer is not caught, who can prove their innocence, not to mention getting involved in this kind of official dispute, at that time They are afraid that they will be greatly implicated, and women from aristocratic families like them do not only represent themselves. If this matter gets serious, they may also implicate their sons or husbands who are officials in the court.
Therefore, when they thought about how powerful this was, their faces turned pale.
Even Mrs. Zhang's eyes were rolling in panic.
"What does this have to do with us? We just stood in a circle at the door. Before you came, we didn't even dare to enter the door." Mrs. Zhang only quickly excused herself and her sisters.
But she didn't have enough confidence, so she quickly tried to agree with the sisters behind her, "We can all testify for each other on this matter, right?"
However, others did not even dare to answer her words.
Zhang is really a stupid woman in the market. She thought that in this situation, whoever has the loudest voice and the most supporters behind her will be justified.
Empress Min's move can be described as vicious. Now two noble women are here. If she really wants to take advantage of this matter, even if they and their families are not crushed into powder today, I am afraid they will have to be blamed for this evil thing. The Holy Spirit left dust in his heart.
As for Zhang's words, Empress Min simply said lightly, "What the accomplice said is not called testimony, it should be called collusive confession."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang sat down on the ground in shock.
However, except for Zhang, everyone else's brains have not been completely rusted. Although they were frightened when they heard about Zongzheng Temple, if Empress Min really wanted to do something, she had reacted quickly and said this After the matter was determined to be a poisoning incident, in addition to calling a doctor, she should also immediately ask officials from Zongzheng Temple to come over.
But she didn't do this. After thinking about it for a while, these people understood Queen Min's intention.
And Queen Min did this, naturally she didn't really want to compete with them to the death. She seized this opportunity just to knock off the mountain and sway the tiger.
After all, even though she hadn't woken up since Jiang Nianjiao was lying on the bed making such a big noise, she felt a little strange. But she didn't want to make the matter a big deal at that time, so she originally planned to wait until all the female relatives left before letting the imperial doctor come and see the unconscious Jiang Nianjiao.
But now that she saw her niece lying on the ground, she naturally understood that her niece could not fall here voluntarily. I'm afraid there is something hidden in it.
As for these people, she naturally wouldn't think that they were actually planning it.
But the husbands and sons of these noble ladies here have all been promoted to officials and nobles in the court by relying on Chen Chen.
Although she is now a useless woman, these people, either out of guilty conscience or out of inertia, always want to eradicate anyone named Chen.
Although the second brother of the Chen family broke up with the eldest brother of the Chen family long ago, even the whole capital knew that the second brother was driven out of the Chen family to make a living on his own. Now the fame of the second brother and the three brothers are based on guarding the border and fighting for their lives. Obtained by losing one's life.
Even though they are far away in Yunzhou and not within the Beijing circle at all, there are still some people with extremely guilty intentions who want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
And in this situation, with at least two women named Chen in the room, she had no doubt that if she didn't knock Shan Zhenhu, these women would pounce on her and tear her niece's reputation to pieces. broken.
And for these women who spend their days cultivating their appearance and virtue, their best weapon is rumors.
But she is not a Jianghu guest, so she can't drive them all away, and she is no longer the aloof queen, so she can't use her power to make them fearful.
Don't dare to lie.
All she can do now is to let what they are good at control them. If they want to make a fuss about this matter, they will suffer backlash. Only in this way can they be afraid.
After a woman figured out the serious relationship between them, she took the initiative to come out, knelt in front of Queen Min and said, "Madam, this is all my fault. If I break into Princess Jin's body without permission, it will be a big mistake." Wrong, we were even more ignorant when we rushed to the empress just now."
After speaking, she just kowtowed respectfully in front of Queen Min.
Then she continued, "But we really don't know why the princess and Miss Qian were poisoned. I hope the empress can be kind enough to spare us."
"If we can be forgiven by the Queen, we will definitely change our past mistakes and never do anything again."
Seeing the woman kneeling, the others naturally followed suit.
Although Queen Min achieved her goal, she did not agree to them immediately. This only made this group of people feel uneasy. They were only afraid that Queen Min was not what they imagined.
After seeing their anxious expressions, Queen Min seemed to have been struggling with her thoughts for a long time, wondering, "It's not that I want to embarrass you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and said, "The person who did this evil thing is really hateful!"
"If there is nothing wrong with the two of them, that would be the best. But if there is something, I'm afraid a few of them will go to Zongzheng Temple to provide them with some clues."
