Later, people from Tai Hospital also came forward to testify, saying that Youzhu and the others were indeed short of medicine.
Youzhu, on the other hand, swore to heaven that Yongping was falsely accusing her.
"It's true that Mao Dachun is from my hometown, but he hasn't gone so far as to poison me," Youzhu cried. "I did ask him to treat guests on my behalf, but I only gave him five taels of silver and didn't know anything about the rest. Already."
"It is indeed impossible for Mao Dachun to help you poison the food, because even he didn't know that you poisoned the food," Yongping said. "In order to dispel our suspicions, you buried him too."
"You are such a mouthful! I think it was you who gave the poison! Otherwise, why would you be the only one among six people to survive?!" Youzhu really hated Yongping.
"What you said is simply ridiculous. That's arsenic." Yongping seemed extremely angry, and his lips began to tremble again. "It was just a fluke that I survived because I had gastrointestinal discomfort in those days and didn't dare to eat more.
If you said I was the one who administered the poison, then you didn't see my dying struggle. Who dares to take such a big risk, even putting his own life on the line, and then falsely accuse you?
I would only do this unless I have a deep grudge against you and I still have to go to the Lord of Hell to sue you. "
It can be seen that Yongping is very articulate and Youzhu is no match for him.
"Don't be so arrogant in front of His Majesty!" Liang Jing sternly stopped him.
The two people immediately knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.
"According to Yong Ping, Concubine Fu first instigated the young eunuch to murder the sixth prince's concubine. After being discovered, the young eunuch took the responsibility and committed suicide.
When the young eunuch died, Concubine Fu had to ask the maids around her to burn paper as a memorial because of her uneasy dreams.
It just so happened that a few of them happened upon this incident. The palace maid went back and told Concubine Fu, who then asked her to find a way to silence those people.
It happened that the palace maid had received termite poison from the Imperial Hospital, and she came up with the idea of using poison to kill the termites.
Under the guise of asking a fellow villager to treat the guests, she poisoned the food, and her innocent fellow villager was poisoned to death.
But unexpectedly, Yongping escaped and survived.
If this is the case, it makes sense from beginning to end.
But if this is a trick, then the designer will naturally make it look reasonable.
For example, someone pretended to be the maid in front of Concubine Fu, burned paper, and then secretly poisoned the meals prepared by Mao Dachun.
For things to come to light, more evidence must be found. Otherwise, this maid will inevitably be tortured. "The emperor didn't ask any more questions, but gave the solution.
Judging from the current situation, it is not easy to overturn Yongping's statement.
Because whether it is the testimony of Taiyuan Hospital or the incident involving polydactyly that happened earlier, they are more inclined to Yongping's version.
Both the former dynasty and the harem mostly followed this routine when trying cases, and it was relatively straightforward and effective.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" Concubine Fu said, "Don't rush to torture my concubine's maid yet. We have new evidence here."
"Oh," the emperor was surprised when he heard this, "What evidence is it?"
"I'm stupid, can you let my maid explain it for you?" Concubine Fu pointed at Xue Hengzhao next to her.
In fact, Liang Jing had been paying attention to Xue Hengzhao's expression. Of course she couldn't just sit idly by when something like this happened.
But Liang Jing was also curious and wanted to know how she could save Concubine Fu and Youzhu.
"Okay, let her say it." The emperor glanced at Xue Hengzhao and felt that she was a bit unfamiliar. Read the book
The emperor rarely went to Furong Palace, and when he did, Xue Hengzhao was probably not around.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission." Xue Heng saluted obediently, then stood up straight, "I also ask for your permission from the Emperor and Queen to allow this servant to confront Yongping."
"That's right." The queen took a special look at Xue Hengzhao and knew from her demeanor that she was of extraordinary origin.
She had also heard that Concubine Fu had a maid in front of her, who was selected from the family members of the guilty ministers.
But there were people like this around Concubine Ying before, including Concubine Rong.
Therefore, it is not a bad rule for Concubine Fu to do this.
"Thank you, empress." Xue Hengzhao saluted the queen again, and then slowly walked to Yong Ping.
Yongping glanced at her and said nothing.
Naturally, he recognized Xue Hengzhao and often interacted with him.
Knowing that she is Xue Yingchen's daughter, she is knowledgeable in books and etiquette, smart and capable.
But that's all. After all, she is just a little girl who has no experience in the world.
He was sure that Xue Hengzhao could not help himself.
"Yongping, do you think no one can see through this plan?" Xue Hengzhao asked as he came up.
"What are you talking about? I only know that I and my brother have been harmed by others. As for the strategies, they were all set up by others." Yong Ping snorted coldly.
"You're not poisoned," Xue Hengzhao said, "right?"
"Are you crazy? Or are you blind?" Yong Ping glared, "The remaining poison in my body has not been cleared yet."
Others didn't believe what Xue Hengzhao said, because so many people had witnessed Yongping being treated at the Tai Hospital.
The imperial doctor had already diagnosed him with arsenic poisoning. How could he not be poisoned?
"The most brilliant part of this strategy is here." Xue Hengzhao's expression remained unchanged, not taking Yongping's ridicule into consideration at all, "Everyone thought you were poisoned and thought you were the victim. The most they thought of was what you said. What you said is not completely correct, but I will never doubt that you are a harmer.
As long as this is not overturned, you will be invincible. "
"Are you just being crazy? No one can spit like this." Yong Ping's voice couldn't help but get louder, "Dr. Zhou is here right now. Ask him to take my pulse and tell me if I've been poisoned."
After saying that, he rolled up his arms and sleeves and asked Doctor Zhou to come over.
"You don't have to be so bluffing. You have been called by the Imperial Physician of Pulse Zhou more than once." Xue Heng said, "Judging from the pulse, the symptoms are very similar to those of poisoning. That's why you dare to be so confident."
I ask you again, are you going to explain it yourself, or am I going to expose this layer of paint on you? "
"Stop coming! It's you who's bluffing! You're still trying to confuse right and wrong!" Yong Ping blushed and his neck was thick, so naturally he couldn't show his cowardice.
He decided that Xue Hengzhao was deceiving him. He bowed left and right without turning back, so he had to fight hard to the end.
"Yongping, you have a problem. You can't drink, right?" Xue Hengzhao asked.
"Yes," Yong Ping admitted, "but don't forget, there is no poison in the wine Mao Dachun invited, only the food is poisonous."
"But what if I say that there is no poison in the vegetables?" Xue Heng looked at him like a ferret watching a mouse.
"What are you talking about? How can there be no poison in the vegetables?" Yong Ping's tone did not soften, but he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.
