Xiao Yu couldn't react to the scene in front of him, but some of the things he had experienced before had given him a rough idea.
He still remembered that Xiao Yurong took him into the dark room when he was rescuing him. Xiao Yurong quickly extinguished the oil lamp. She seemed to be afraid that Xiao Yu would see the things on the table. Those bottles and jars contained large amounts of things. Probability is what poison is made of.
But Xiao Yu never dreamed that the seemingly weak Xiao Yurong would have such hatred for the emperor. Perhaps it was because of the tragic deaths of King Luling and Concubine Lu!
"You said it or not!"
Xiao Yuheng was furious and slapped Xiao Yurong hard in front of everyone present.
Suddenly, there was a bloody palm mark on Xiao Yurong's delicate face.
Faced with the serious crime of murdering the king, no one dared to intercede for her. Even Xiao Yuwan, the eldest princess of Yongning who had always cared for her, remained silent.
Only Xiao Yurong's weak face showed stubbornness and unyielding.
"No one gave me any poison, I was the one who poisoned it myself."
A sneer flashed across Xiao Yuheng's face: "If Ah Rong doesn't tell the truth, do you want me to call someone out to confront you?"
Xiao Yurong did not answer, but looked at the emperor coldly.
Xiao Yuheng looked back slowly and behind him.
The senior internal official understood. He nodded and made a motion to bring someone up behind him. Not long after, he saw two internal guards in black carrying a female maid up to the hall and throwing her to the ground.
Xiao Yurong's face showed surprise, and she shouted: "Chun Nu!"
The maidservant's face showed uneasiness, and she said in a trembling voice: "Eldest Princess, Chunnu... Chunnu has already been recruited, so the eldest princess should be recruited too!"
Xiao Yurong's slender eyes narrowed, and she shook her head: "I have nothing to recruit."
Xiao Yuheng asked His Majesty Dan's maid: "If Princess Jincheng doesn't tell you, tell me everything you know and see, and I can spare your life!"
There was a little more hope for life on the face of the maidservant. She was still trembling, and there were tears of gratitude in the corners of her eyes.
"The slave said, the slave said everything. Your Majesty knows that the eldest princess comes in and out of the palace frequently these days, but the eldest princess's purpose is not to harm your majesty, but to accompany the eldest princess Yongning who has not left the palace for many days, about...about Ten days ago, at Xuanyang Gate, an old eunuch who seemed to have a low status suddenly stopped the eldest princess. At that time, the servant wanted to drive the old eunuch away... The princess was kind-hearted and let the old eunuch finish his sentence. , the old eunuch said he had important matters to discuss privately with the princess alone, so the eldest princess sent us all away."
"What kind of old eunuchs, what did they say? Tell all the ministers together!" Xiao Yuheng said.
The maid was so frightened that she was speechless: "Your Majesty... I didn't hear what they said. I only heard the eldest princess call him Eunuch Mei..."
There was an uproar in the hall, and the important ministers began to whisper again.
The "Eunuch Mei" mentioned by the maidservant will always remind people of a person, and people who have been banned from entering and leaving the palace for many years will always be secretive about that name and are unwilling to take the initiative to mention it.
According to rumors, when that person left Jiankang Palace for the last time, he stole the old jade seal that was enough to influence a country.
Just as the important ministers were thinking about it, the maidservant said again: "He handed the eldest princess a piece of cloth..."
"What strip of cloth?" Xiao Yuheng asked.
"I don't know! I guess it's a prescription!"
Xiao Yuheng frowned: "How did you know that it was a prescription?"
"After returning to the house, the eldest princess copied the contents of the cloth onto several pieces of paper. The slave was present at the time. Then the eldest princess ordered the slave and several maids in the house to go out shopping separately. The slave was in Changganli Zhenghetang bought the medicinal materials. After I bought the medicinal materials that day, I saw Lingchun from the same house also went to the same medicine shop to buy medicine. She also had a note written by the eldest princess in her hand..."
"What about next?"
"In the middle of the night, the eldest princess personally weighed, ground and mixed the purchased medicinal materials, put them into small bottles and brought them to the palace wall... The slaves also witnessed the eldest princess adding medicine to your majesty's tea."
"What you say is true?"
"Your Majesty, this slave is willing to guarantee his wealth and life..." Chun Nu said and looked at Xiao Yurong again, "Eldest Princess, the matter has come to this, there is nothing to deny. This slave is also doing it for the best of the eldest princess. Let’s do it!”
Xiao Yurong smiled bitterly: "Chunnu, I have always treated you as a confidant, but I never thought you would betray me like this..."
Chun Nu looked panicked: "Eldest Princess, this slave did not betray the princess. Your Majesty already knew it when the eldest princess administered the medicine."
Xiao Yurong raised her head and stared at Xiao Yuheng, and said bitterly: "Since you know, why didn't you kill me earlier, but there were countless more dead souls tonight."
"I wanted to see who wanted my death and my throne!" Xiao Yuheng said, "But I guessed wrong. That wimp Xiao Wei dared to ride on my head! It's really a wolf's ambition, everyone takes it seriously. Execute! And what is the other one doing? He was chased all night long, hee hee..."
Xiao Yuheng was naturally talking about Xiao Yu, but at this time Xiao Yu did not speak and stood blankly under His Majesty Dan.
Xiao Yuheng turned his attention back to Xiao Yurong: "Tell me! When did you collude with Mei Chong'er? I have always wanted to catch that remnant from the previous dynasty. Just thinking about it makes me want to go crazy. Tell me where he is?" Is he still in Jiankang Palace? Come here, block all major exits of the palace, no one can enter or leave!"
Someone took the order and left, and everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Yurong.
Xiao Yurong sneered and said: "Just give up on this! I don't know Mei Chong'er. I only know that the old eunuch's surname is Mei. How many people in the palace have been persecuted by you? There are more than a hundred people who want you dead." Qian, how come there is only one named Mei?"
Xiao Yuheng didn't listen to what Xiao Yurong said, and ordered several people to strengthen the defense of the palace.
After that, Xiao Yuheng began to convict: "Come here, take Princess Jincheng into custody first, and then convict her after all the reasons are revealed!"
A guard in black came forward to pull Xiao Yurong's clothes. The eldest princess Yongning on the side finally spoke up: "Don't even touch my sister. How can the eldest princess of Daqi drag you like you? Let her go by herself. !”
Xiao Yurong stood up slowly, straightened her clothes, smiled apologetically at Xiao Yuwan, and walked out of the hall.
When she came to Xiao Yu, she stopped. At this time, no one dared to step forward to urge her.
I saw Xiao Yurong's lonely eyes shining slightly, and she sighed: "Why did brother come back? It will be difficult to think of this Abi Hell again..."
Xiao Yu touched his chest: "Just go with the flow. My brother has not forgotten what my sister entrusted to me, so I must return it to him."
There was a touch of surprise on Xiao Yurong's face: "Brother, you all know?"
"The workmanship of that object is crude and simple. It should be from the Northern Dynasty. It must have been Yang Hua's. It must have been a token of love that Yang Hua gave to his little sister!"
Xiao Yurong nodded: "It's not a good destination for Yang Lang to come to Nan's house..."
Xiao Yu thought for a while and nodded.
Xiao Yurong passed him by.
"Brother, you have to be more careful in the future..."
