After Yushu finished speaking, his expression became calm, as if he was just waiting to be dealt with.
The eldest princess of Deqing did not expect that it would be such a coincidence that Yushu's evil deeds would be accomplished. "Your courage is really outrageous! After doing such a thing, you actually dare to take the initiative to report it?"
Yushu said expressionlessly: "Linglong's feet are smaller than mine, and her shoes didn't fit me. I ran to the palace banquet and then back to Furong Hall, and my feet were worn out. I didn't expect the eldest princess to be so thoughtful." Fa, I even noticed this."
Her nonchalant attitude seemed to greatly irritate the emperor, and he shouted sternly: "You evil slave, why on earth do you do such evil things!"
"Hmph, it's just that Pan Yuerong abandoned his childhood sweetheart and fiancé for the sake of glory and wealth! And he did it cruelly! If I don't kill her, how can he relieve the hatred in my heart?"
Pan Jingfu and Tan immediately changed their expressions, and Tan immediately accused: "Yu Shu, what are you talking about!"
A shout drew the attention of everyone present to the couple, and the anger on their faces was immediately mixed with a bit of unexplained guilt and embarrassment.
After Yushu heard this rebuke, he wanted to sneer back, but Mrs. Yu stepped aside and said, "I don't think she is talking nonsense!"
Tan glanced at her and wanted to refute, but did not dare to say anything.
The emperor frowned and looked at Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi immediately reported back: "Back to the emperor, the Pan family and the Yu family are family friends. Your Excellency Yu has let go of his duties at this time. This is Mrs. Yu."
The emperor squinted at Madam Yu and said, "The childhood sweetheart's fiancé whom Cai Yushu mentioned just now must be the young master of the Yu family?"
Madam Yu was only from the sixth rank of An, and had never met the Holy Master before, so she was a little frightened. She prostrated herself on the ground and said respectfully: "My wife, Mrs. Wang, please give my regards to the emperor, my concubine, and my eldest princess."
The emperor remained silent with a calm face.
The eldest princess of Deqing looked at Li Qingyi: "You can't explain what they said to each other in a while. Why not, let you speak."
Li Qingyi knew very well what Princess Deqing meant.
If Yushu and others were allowed to explain this matter, it would inevitably be mixed with some personal emotions, and they might say something random that would hurt the royal family's face.
Let her speak, let her control the situation.
"Yes." Li Qingyi bowed and saluted, then turned to look at Mrs. Yu and Yushu, and said, "This matter is complicated, and we need to start talking about it before the good nobleman enters the palace."
She took out a prescription from her sleeve, but did not open it, and said: "In the process of searching for the murderer, I went to Pan's house to inquire, and unexpectedly learned that Mr. Liang and Mr. Yu had a finger-to-tip marriage. , However, this marriage ended due to Mr. Yu’s sudden illness. This suspicion arises from Mr. Yu’s illness.”
"Master Yu originally just had a minor cold, but after Liang Guiren visited with his mother, he suddenly became seriously ill, and then became stupid. The medicine was ineffective. When the Pan family learned about it, they wanted to break off the engagement. Not long after, Liang Guiren was drafted into the family. Palace. Therefore, Mrs. Yu became suspicious and felt that the good nobleman wanted to cling to glory and did not want to bear the infamy, so she secretly plotted against the young master and wanted to ruin this marriage."
At this point, Li Qingyi seemed to know that someone had something to say, so he paused.
Sure enough, Liang Guiren's mother, Mrs. Tan, gritted her teeth and said, "Ms. Wang, you and I have known each other for many years. Your son is seriously ill, and we are very heartbroken. However, how can you blame us for this? Just because you have suspicion, you will Has it ruined our long-standing friendship?"
Mrs. Yu glanced at her, but just said, "It's better to wait until Miss Li finishes speaking, and then we can come to a conclusion."
Tan's punch landed lightly on cotton, and he was immediately speechless.
Li Qingyi glanced at the two of them and continued: "That day, the maidservants who followed Mr. Liang were Linglong and a girl named Hongdou. Hongdou had helped boil the medicine, so Mrs. Yu left the medicine residue for others to check, but found nothing. But Mrs. Yu was unwilling to give in and came to Pan Mansion to ask for an explanation. Only then did she learn that Hongdou Toujing was dead."
Li Qingyi did not mention the emperor at all, and explained everything from the perspective of a good nobleman.
Princess Deqing was very satisfied with her
Very sleepy.
Or perhaps, it was because this matter could help the emperor understand that Liang Guiren was far from the Ruying in his heart. She was just a woman who was greedy for glory and wanted to murder her fiancé.
This can undoubtedly greatly alleviate the emperor's anger, so the eldest princess of Deqing sneered very cooperatively: "What a coincidence."
"It is indeed a coincidence. But although Mrs. Yu was more suspicious, she suffered from the lack of evidence. She was also concerned about the young master's illness, so she put the matter on hold."
Li Qingyi saw the tears in Yushu's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, and unfolded the paper in his hand: "Master Yu's illness never improved until one day, Mrs. Yu received a letter and a prescription."
Because Li Qingyi had just shown the letter as evidence to everyone, Cui Chun immediately figured out the reason after seeing the prescription and asked, "Is it possible that this prescription was sent by Yushu?"
"Exactly, after all, Yushu has been with Mr. Liang for a long time. He knew that Hongdou's sister-in-law knew a little about pharmacology, so he investigated and secretly investigated, and finally found out the reason for Mr. Yu's stupidity."
Li Qingyi looked at Yushu and said, "Jadeshu, is there anything untrue in what I said?"
Yushu shook his head with tears in his eyes, his expression extremely sad: "You are right. Like Mrs. Yu, I suspected that Pan Yuerong had murdered Mr. Yu in order to enter the palace through the draft. So, I coaxed and frightened him, and learned from Hongdou's sister-in-law. The truth was revealed. It turns out that Hongdou herself doesn’t understand medicine, so she only asked her, the eldest sister-in-law, for her ideas..."
"I threatened her sister-in-law Mrs. Liu that if she didn't tell what the young master was harmed by, she would announce the matter in front of others. So she told me that it was red beans that were added to the young master's medicine. kiss……"
"Because Pan Yuerong had long noticed my thoughts about the young master and was afraid that I would do something bad, so he found a reason to keep me in the house that day and brought Hongdou there. Hongdou took advantage of the young master's maid to take the hook that had been prepared in advance The kiss was put into the medicine. However, things did not go as planned. Mr. Yu couldn't stop coughing and accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl. Therefore, he only took a small sip of the medicine, and most of it was spit out with the cough. "
Everyone present had heard of Gelsemium to some extent, and they sighed: "Gelsemium is extremely poisonous. This is really a good thing for the young master, but why has he become so stupid?"
Li Qingyi explained: "Hongdou knew that Gelsemium was extremely toxic and was afraid that people would find out, so he only released a small amount, but it was still fatal. But who could have imagined that there would be an accident. He was indeed very fatal, but it was a pity that even just a small amount was fatal. Even after being dipped in a very small amount of Gelsemium flower juice, his heart was still hurt, his limbs were weak, his speech was unclear, and he was like a child. Therefore, everyone thought that his brain was burned out by the cold and high fever, but in fact it was caused by the small amount of poisonous residue of Gelsemium To.".c
The eldest princess of Deqing glanced at the silent emperor and asked, "So, it is indeed Liang Guiren who instigated Hongdou to tamper with Mr. Yu's medicine? But Mrs. Yu had someone look at the prescription, so why didn't the problem be found out? Where?"
Mrs. Yu once went to Pan's house to have sex, so many people had heard about the relationship between the two families and Mr. Yu's stupidity.
So she took the dregs of the medicine to the doctor for questioning, but he didn't dare to say anything for fear of getting into trouble. After a quick glance, he said there was nothing wrong with it.
Of course, Li Qingyi would not ask for trouble to explain the reason in detail. He just ordered someone to present the dregs of the medicine and said: "There is nothing wrong with this medicine at first glance. Only those with great experience can discover the inside after careful analysis." There’s a lot to write about.”
"Among the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor to Mr. Yu, there is honeysuckle. Honeysuckle flowers are sweet and cold in nature, clear away heat and detoxify. Almost all prescriptions for wind and cold contain honeysuckle. And Gelsemium japonica has light yellow roots and a sweet taste. The whole plant They are all poisonous, especially young buds and leaves. The poisoned person has weakness in limbs, slurred speech, and blurred vision. The appearance is very similar to that of honeysuckle. It is still possible to distinguish between the two when they are fresh, but it is very difficult to distinguish them after drying. .”
The eldest princess of Deqing immediately ordered someone to call an imperial doctor to come over and examine the medicine residue, which proved that what Li Qingyi said was true.
Li Qingyi ordered the officers to bring Hongdou's sister-in-law Liu up.
Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she was thrown into the hall by the guards. She didn't even dare to raise her head, and she could only keep muttering "spare my life" in a low voice.
Cui Chun finally gained confidence when he saw that all the witnesses and physical evidence were there, and immediately asked Mr. Liu
He said: "Your Majesty is here, why don't you explain everything you have done?"
Ms. Liu was told before she went to court that if she told the truth, her family might be able to save their lives.
She did not dare to hide it, and said tremblingly: "The common woman is guilty... It was the common woman who took money from her sister-in-law and told her how to use Gelsemium instead of honeysuckle... The common woman was temporarily obsessed, and her family didn't know anything about it... I beg the emperor Spare their lives..."
"Hmph, if you really care about the lives of your family so much, you shouldn't do such harmful things!" The emperor may not care much about good people, but this matter has hurt the royal family's face. Now that he has seen the culprit, where can he go? You will look good. "If it weren't for you! How could there have been such a turmoil!"
Ms. Liu was so frightened that she could not speak. Everyone quickly stood up and bowed down to ask the emperor to calm down.
The emperor asked Yushu with a sullen face: "Is this why you have murderous intentions towards Mr. Liang?"
The jade comb was tilted on the ground. He supported himself with one hand and grabbed his heart with the other: "No, this servant is just like Mrs. Yu. She is worried about the young master's condition. When she learned that he was harmed by Gelsemium, she went everywhere to seek medical advice but failed. No solution was found. But Pan Yuerong couldn't wait to enter the palace..."
Her eyes were full of resentment, and she said: "I have been serving Pan Yuerong since I was a child, and I also know that I will marry into the Yu family as a dowry girl in the future. I have already made a secret promise to Master Yu because of his talent, and regard myself as his. Who? You know, because of a small cold, all expectations were ruined."
Yushu clutched the prescription in her hand. It was the only connection between her and Mr. Yu.
She gently moved the corner of her mouth, but in the end she couldn't smile. She said: "There is no perfect way. After I followed Pan Yuerong into the palace, I accidentally learned about this method in the Taiyuan Hospital. So I tried every means to order someone to give it to Mrs. Yu. Letters and prescriptions... looking forward to news of his recovery day and night..."
