"This slave is really unjust. I really don't know what poison is. I really didn't do these things!"
Sui Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. Her forehead had swollen up to a big bump, and her face was smeared with tears and nose. She really looked like she had been greatly wronged, and it didn't look like it. It's fake.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. If Concubine Jing was really blamed, it would be hard for them!
"I hope you all understand that if my life is not good, the people under my command will also be bad, and we will all suffer.
Who has done something wrong? If you come forward now, I may be able to be gentle and spare his life. If you find out who it is later, you will have no chance to beg for mercy! "
Xie Ruling looked around at the people around and said impatiently.
Everyone looked worried, especially Suiyu who had cried like this.
In fact, it's all her fault for not rectifying the people in the palace properly. In fact, she knows that no matter how much rectification is done, it will be useless. After all, the imperial concubine has her own way to insert eyeliner.
"My dear, my dear, I found something!"
Mingyu and Mingruo ran in with joy on their faces. The others immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. As long as they found out who hid the poison, they would solve it quickly.
Suiyu immediately stopped crying and looked at Mingyu and Mingruo expectantly. She really didn't go to get any poison. Now she found whose house the poison was hidden in. That's who it is.
"Where did you find it?"
Xie Ruling raised her eyebrows and asked knowingly.
"I found it from under Suiyu's bed!"
Mingyu turned around and stared at Suiyu, who was looking at him expectantly, with fierce eyes.
"What!" Sui Yu looked shocked as if she really couldn't believe it, "This is really unjust. I have never done such a thing, and I don't know why I found poison from under my bed. This must be Being framed!"
Suiyu was so anxious that she could hardly speak. She really didn't expect to wait for this news.
Originally, she had placed all her hopes on Mingyu and Mingruo, hoping to find out who the murderer was as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that after repeated searches, she was still found on him!
"Shut up, I originally found it from under your bed. If it wasn't you, who else could it be? You were the only one who went to the Taiyuan Hospital. You were the one who cleaned the princess's house a few days ago. I think it was you who brought the jade pendant. Take it secretly!"
Mingyu scolded with a fierce look on his face, and as he spoke, he used his peripheral vision to look at the reactions of the people around him.
Most of the people had expressions on their faces, angry that Sui Sui Yu had betrayed his master, but Ning Yu was the only one with a strange expression.
"Go get the whip." Xie Ruling glanced coldly at Broiyu, who was already crying. "It is absolutely impossible for me to let go of this servant who betrayed my master. The imperial concubine will have to blame her later. It’s my son’s business, so I must take good care of this disobedient slave at this moment!”
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Ming Ruo quickly went down and picked out a whip that could hit people the hardest. There were even some sharp barbs at the end, which would draw away the flesh and blood of the person when hit on the body.
"This slave is unjustly accused!"
Broken Yu had been frightened for half her life. She really couldn't explain it now, and she really didn't know where the bag of poison under the bed came from.
Mingruo quickly took the whip and handed it to Xie Ruling respectfully.
Xie Ruling stood in front of Suiyu with a whip, "If you are willing to tell the truth, I can spare your life. This is your last chance. If you are still unwilling to tell the truth, you should understand what will happen. !”
Xie Ruling raised the whip and looked at it carefully. There were many barbs at the end of the whip that hit her body, which was very painful.
"This slave really doesn't know. I don't know why I found that bag of poison under my bed. This slave is really unjust!"
Suiyu sat on the ground and shivered in fear. She really didn't know what was going on.
Even if she saw that Xie Ruling had taken the whip in her hand and raised it high, even if she was so frightened that she could hardly speak, she would never be able to tell the truth, because she really didn't know what was going on. thing.
The palace people standing around were so frightened that they closed their eyes. They could all see the whip clearly. The barbs on the body would draw away all the flesh and blood on the body.
This broken jade dared to betray his master, but he is still stubborn and dare not admit it. He deserves to be whipped a few times.
Hearing the sound of the whip, Suiyu closed her eyes in resignation, and suddenly heard a scream, but the pain she imagined did not appear on her body.
Suiyu opened her eyes in shock and found that the whip fell on Ningyu who was standing aside.
"Empress?"
After being whipped hard, Ningyu couldn't stand and knelt on the ground. She looked at Xie Ruling with confusion and guilt.
"Who do you think I was talking about just now? Do you think I am being fooled by you like a fool?"
Xie Ruling whipped her whip hard again and knocked off Ningyu's bun. Just now she saw that something was wrong with this girl. She was just letting Mingyu and Mingruo act out a scene. Sure enough, this girl Something is even more wrong.
Sui Yu looked at all this and was a little stunned. She was already prepared to receive this terrible whip, but she didn't expect that the whip actually fell on Ning Yu.
"If you don't come over a little bit, I'll be careful of my queen's whip hitting you!"
Mingyu shook his head helplessly. In fact, just looking at Suiyu's performance, he knew that she shouldn't dare to do these things. After all, she looked too stupid.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Sui Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and crawled to the edge, fearing that she would be hit by the whip.
She just said, how could she be wronged for something she didn't do? I didn't expect the empress to be quite wise!
"It's my fault! It's my fault!"
Ningyu couldn't bear the pain of the whip, and she was covered in sweat, especially the side where it hit her back was bloody.
"What benefits did your concubine give you that made you willing to risk your life to wrong me?"
Xie Ruling knelt down and looked directly into Ningyu's eyes. In fact, she had guessed that the price of this matter tonight was Ningyu's life.
Zheng Yinghuan has never been a kind-hearted person. Even if she leaves a chess piece in her palace, the chess piece must be discarded after use.
So according to the original plan, Ningyu was going to die after completing her mission, so she saw something wrong with Ningyu's expression just now.
No one can remain calm knowing that he will die after completing his mission.
Naturally, it was impossible to stupidly stay in her room with this poison or something, so she asked Mingyu to act out this scene. Sure enough, when she heard the poison was mentioned, Ningyu's expression changed again.
"The imperial concubine said that if I die, my parents and brothers outside the palace will all benefit. Anyway, I just have a low life. If I die, I will die!"
Ningyu closed her eyes in despair. Her life in the harem was just like that. She had no good qualities and no master and empress liked her, so she was assigned to Zhongcui Palace.
What's more, the imperial concubine is semi-threatening. If she doesn't obey, the lives of the whole family will be in danger.
"Actually, Suiyu is just a scapegoat with blurred vision. Going to clean Xin'er's house is just a coincidence. What the doctor Wang said is not credible. If I guess correctly, the poison should be hidden in you. If you want Take advantage of the chaos and put it in Xin'er's house."
Xie Ruling shook her head in disappointment. In fact, she had restrained her temper a lot since leaving the cold palace, and she treated these palace residents very well.
"Zhongcui Palace is too small to accommodate so many people with different intentions. If there is anyone like her, it is better to leave consciously. I think you should know my original methods."
Xie Ruling just stood up and looked around at the people around her, and said coldly.
"I don't dare, I don't have any second thoughts."
The palace people quickly expressed their thoughts.
"Since you are ready to die, it doesn't make any difference whether you die here in this palace or at the imperial concubine's place. Just drag him down and beat him to death so that you can have an explanation later when you are held responsible. "
Xie Ruling waved her hand casually, and someone immediately dragged Ningyu down, while Ningyu looked expressionless as if she had accepted her fate.
"Empress, what should we do next? Even if we beat Ningyu to death, can the imperial concubine spare us so easily?"
After thinking about it, Mingyu still felt that she could not escape the blame. If she was exposed to His Majesty, everything that the Empress finally got would probably...
Xie Ruling returned to the seat above and sat with a thoughtful look on her face.
The reason why the imperial concubine used such clumsy methods was not to punish herself, but to let His Majesty know about this matter and to let His Majesty recall what happened back then.
If she said that she wanted to poison the concubines in order to let Xiao Chu vent her anger, it would easily remind His Majesty of the time when she first entered the palace.
When she first entered the palace, she was fearless. With her aunt as her backer, she got into a lot of bad things. It took a lot of effort to improve her image. She was afraid that if this matter came out, it would easily make His Majesty disgusted.
When Xie Ruling was already very annoyed, the palace servants from outside came out again to spread the news.
"Concubine Jing, something big happened at Concubine Jing!"
The palace man was panting while running, with sweat on his forehead and face. He knelt on the ground and wiped the sweat from his face.
"What happened?" Xie Ruling asked confused.
"The imperial concubine has always been crazy since she gave birth to a child. Just now there was news of poisoning, so the imperial concubine went to visit her. Unexpectedly, during the visit, the imperial concubine went crazy again and pinched the imperial concubine's breasts. My wife was beaten and scolded on the neck!"
The messenger paused and took a deep breath.
"When people outside heard the noise and barged in, the imperial concubine was about to be strangled to death. The concubine in the pavilion was heard cursing that it was the imperial concubine who deserved to die.
The matter was so important that it was reported to His Majesty. His Majesty directly ordered that the concubine should be put to death. No one was allowed to mention the matter about the concubine, so as not to taint His Majesty's ears! "
"Death?"
Xie Ruling blinked her eyes and digested the information carefully. This incident was quite funny. It was obviously Zheng Yinghuan's own trap, but she didn't expect that she was about to be strangled to death by the concubine!
It seems that this is so much bullying that even the crazy concubine can't bear it and knows how to resist!
