Chapter 1598
Seeing Xiao Lintian targeting Concubine Shao like this, Prince Kang couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it is inevitable that there will be villains around anyone. It is understandable that Concubine Shao didn't know that Teng Xiang did these things behind her back. Isn't that right?" It means everyone in Princess Shao’s palace is suspected!”
Xiao Lintian looked at him, waiting for him to speak!
"Prince Kang, I haven't finished speaking yet! Prince Cheng has just checked the truth behind the death of the mouse! But the person who destroyed the coffin lid and put the mouse in is also the culprit!"
"And the person who arranged the wake last night was also sent by Concubine Shao. Teng Xiang was an oversight. In addition, criminals were allowed to destroy the coffin lid right under their noses. Can this be explained by oversight?"
Xiao Lintian shouted angrily: "The Empress Dowager obviously died suddenly of heart failure, but someone wanted to mislead the officials that she died of poisoning, and the target was directly at me and the Queen. Isn't this something with ulterior motives?"
"Now that Prince Cheng has found out the cause of the death of the Empress Dowager, anyone who has any objections can speak out. If he dares to talk nonsense in the future, he will be punished for causing trouble in the palace!"
No one dared to stand up and question it. Everyone saw that the mouse that had eaten the blood of the Queen Mother was still alive. Who dared to say that the Queen Mother died of poisoning!
Xiao Lintian shocked everyone and turned the fire back on Princess Shao.
"Concubine Shao, the Queen left the palace despite hardships to collect medicine for the Queen Mother. I trust you and entrust you with the responsibility of the Queen Mother's funeral. Is this how you repay my trust?"
Xiao Lintian had no choice but to directly point out that Concubine Shao had conspired all this to frame him and Ling Yu.
Concubine Shao had been kneeling since she offended Prince Cheng just now. At this time, she was speechless when Xiao Lintian questioned her.
From the moment Ling Yu returned to the palace, when Zhu Lan and Princess Kang first discovered the blood under the coffin, to when Concubine Shao righteously accused Xiao Lintian and Ling Yu of poisoning the Empress Dowager, they guessed that all of this had something to do with Concubine Shao. !
"Concubine Shao, now it's your turn to give an explanation to the Empress Dowager's ghost and all the officials!"
Teng Xiang did not dare and could not testify against Concubine Shao. Concubine Shao could continue to complain, but Xiao Lintian wanted to find ways to deal with her.
Without witnesses, the death penalty cannot be determined, so find another shortcut.
Xiao Lintian deliberately wanted to force Concubine Shao to deal with her own people personally, so that the people who were loyal to Prince Kang and Concubine Shao would see what the consequences would be if they worked for them.
Ling Yu was not at the palace last night, so the mistake in the Empress Dowager's disguise had nothing to do with her.
In addition, Prince Cheng and Wan Qishan have confirmed that the Queen Mother died suddenly of heart failure and had nothing to do with Ling Yu and Xiao Lintian.
All the fingers were immediately pointed at Concubine Shao.
How can Concubine Shao convince the public if she doesn't give a decent explanation?
Even if Princess Shao guessed Xiao Lintian's thoughts, she could not refute it, and she felt regretful for a moment.
It would be enough to kill the Empress Dowager and make Ling Yu and Xiao Lintian lose their support. Why did he go to all the trouble to frame Xiao Lintian and Ling Yu?
Ling Yu kept paying attention to Zhao Ruirui from the corner of her eye, who lowered her head and said nothing.
Although Ling Yu removed the red spots on the Empress Dowager's back, she had not found out what Zhao Ruirui had done to the Empress Dowager.
She had a hunch that even if she figured it out, it would be impossible to testify against Zhao Ruirui in public!
There was no toxin in the Queen Mother's body, so Zhao Ruirui used other methods to murder the Queen Mother.
What kind of method is this? Now even I can’t figure it out, how can I testify against Zhao Ruirui!
Ling Yu waited for Zhao Ruirui to make a move, and he could find clues from her words...
