Chapter 236 It's a crime to drink or not
Everyone was stunned. The palace maid on the side was already stunned. Her hands trembled, and the tea cup fell to the ground, smashing it into pieces. "Concubine Xiu!"
"Miss, what's going on?" Luo Yu stood close to Ji Fuyin, her voice already trembling. Whether the person who poisoned today was the concubine or the queen, shouldn't the person targeted be Ji Fuyin?!
Why is it Concubine Xiu who falls now?!
"Don't panic." Ji Fuyin said lightly, but her eyebrows couldn't help but tighten slightly. Just when Concubine Xiu spat out a mouthful of blood, an indescribable and ominous premonition enveloped her heart in an instant.
"What's going on?! Imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor quickly!" Empress Sun also stood up from her seat in a hurry, but just after she called for the imperial doctor, her body was shaking, and blood continued to flow from her mouth.
Well came out of the nose——
"Empress!" When the palace maid saw this, there was another chaos. She hurriedly sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor. The Splendid Palace, which was peaceful just now, fell into chaos in an instant.
How could Queen Sun be poisoned? Ji Fuyin felt that her mind was suddenly in chaos. Amidst the noise of the maids in the palace, she clenched her fists slightly and dug her thin nails into her palms. A slight stinging sensation
Her mind cleared up a little.
As soon as the imperial physician heard that the two most powerful people in the harem had been poisoned at the same time, they rushed from the imperial hospital to Jinxiu Palace, divided into two groups, and diagnosed those two people very carefully.
At this moment, the emperor, who heard that the queen and concubine Xiu were poisoned, also rushed over. Looking at the shocking blood stains on the floor on the table, he suddenly became furious, "What's going on?! It's fine, why?"
Will two people be poisoned at the same time?!"
Hearing the emperor's voice, the imperial doctors who were surrounding him just now came out and knelt on the ground in front of the emperor.
"No need to talk nonsense, tell me first, what happened to the Queen and Concubine Xiu?!"
"Replying to the Emperor, the Empress and Concubine Xiu are now fine. I have boiled the medicine and asked the maid to feed it to the two empresses. After another three to five days of rest, the two empresses will fully recover.
.”
The tense expression on the emperor's face relaxed slightly, "How could the two of them be poisoned?!"
"I have checked just now. I don't know who poisoned the soup that the two empresses drank. Fortunately, it was not a very strong poison. Otherwise..." The leading physician said this with some displeasure.
I dare to say it.
"Who is so bold as to poison my harem!" The emperor glanced around and then noticed that Ji Fuyin was also there, "Why are you here too?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, today is a banquet hosted by the Concubine Xiu, and I am here to attend the banquet." Ji Fuyin lowered her gaze and responded to the Emperor's words respectfully, but something suddenly flashed in her mind. The imperial doctor said that the poison was not strong, but
Why did the silver needle in Luoyu's hand turn so black in an instant?
If it were just an ordinary poison, the silver needle would not have turned into that in an instant. But if the poison was potent, why did it take so long to ask the imperial doctor?
Not worried about your life?
The emperor's expression changed slightly at this moment, and he looked at Ji Fuyin with a subtle expression, "In other words, you all ate the same thing, so why weren't you poisoned?"
"Reporting to the emperor, I have always been allergic to things in the sea. There was something in the soup that I cannot eat, so I was lucky enough to escape."
This seemingly reasonable explanation was instantly broken by a slightly shrill female voice.
"Miss Ji Er is really a good liar!" Concubine Xiu's maid Qiaoyun suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of the emperor with a thud, "Our empress has been harmed, please ask the emperor to seek justice for our empress!"
"
The emperor frowned, glanced at Qiao Yun who was crying in tears, and then looked at Ji Fuyin who looked calm beside him, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"If Miss Ji Er is really allergic, then why is the food she ate before okay?" Qiao Yun said angrily, "There was also ground dried shrimp in another dish before, and this slave knew it.
Since it was okay to eat the dried shrimp at first, why did the second lady claim she was allergic after the poisonous soup was served?!"
Ji Fuyin raised her eyebrows slightly. She really didn't know this, but regardless of whether it was true or not, just by Qiaoyun's words, she knew that the emperor would definitely have doubts about her.
Qiaoyun's eyes turned into peaches from tears, "Whether Miss Ji Er is really allergic or is she just making excuses to avoid the poisonous soup? Miss Ji should know better than this slave! Our empress
Isn't it because you are too arrogant and refuse to humble yourself and apologize to you? You actually fell in love with our empress just because of this!"
"It doesn't matter if you want to poison our empress, you actually want to attack the empress. Miss Ji Er, you are really lawless!"
After listening to Qiao Yun's accusation with a calm expression, Ji Fuyin's eyebrows tightened, "When did I hate Concubine Xiu, and when did I start attacking the Empress? Do you have any evidence for slandering me like this?! Poisoning and harming people is like this
It's not something you can easily convict with just a few words."
"Okay, then please ask the second lady to explain to the slave, why the second lady said that she is allergic to things in the sea, but now she doesn't have a red rash on her body!" Qiao Yun kowtowed to the emperor several times, "
I beg the emperor to make the decision for the empress and give her justice!"
Just when Qiaoyun was crying hard, Aunt Cheng came out and bowed to the emperor, "Emperor, the queen has woken up and vomited two more mouthfuls of blood. The blood is no longer black. Her face looks...
I feel a lot better when I get up.”
The emperor gave a faint hum and said: "You two, go back and serve your master first."
Qiaoyun, who was crying miserably, responded, then got up from the ground and went back to the room with Aunt Cheng.
As soon as Qiaoyun left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.
The emperor's face was gloomy and uncertain. He looked at Ji Fuyin in front of him. Ji Fuyin looked calm and responded to the emperor's gaze calmly, but there was already a hint of a bad premonition in her heart.
Based on Qiaoyun's words, even if there is no conclusive evidence yet to prove that he is the one who poisoned the soup, the emperor must have thought so in his heart at this moment.
If you insist on making excuses now, not only will you not be able to explain things clearly, but you will also feel guilty and guilty.
Ji Fuyin felt a hint of irritation in her heart, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes. At this moment, she finally understood what Empress Sun had planned.
Judging from the changes on the silver needle, the poison put into her soup must be some kind of strong poison. However, the soup she and Xiu Fei drank was not very strong and would not be life-threatening at all.
of poison.
Whether she drinks this soup today or not, she, Ji Fuyin, will die!
If she drinks it, she will be poisoned and die. Even if she is investigated, the most suspicious person is Concubine Xiu, who has had a problem with her, not Queen Sun. If she doesn't drink it, the two empresses will be poisoned at the same time, and only she will be intact.
The suspicion of poisoning will naturally fall on oneself, and there is no way to hide from it.
Empress Sun was not sure that she would definitely be able to drink soup, or that she would definitely not be able to drink soup, but the situation she had set up, no matter whether she drank the soup into her mouth or not, her end would be the same -!
Choosing from left to right is always a dead end. Queen Sun really has such a clever plan!
And at times like this, even if the emperor looked normal, he must be furious in his heart, and would not give himself a chance to defend himself. Ji Fuyin clenched her fists lightly, waiting for the emperor's judgment.
Sure enough, the emperor was looking at her with eyes filled with disappointment and coldness. He raised his hand slightly and said, "Take her off and hand her over to the people from the Criminal Department."
The Ministry of Punishment?! Ji Fuyin's heart trembled. Although she had never been to that place, she had heard of the horrors inside.
In his previous life, many ministers who dared to confront Zhao Luozhi were framed and sent to the Ministry of Punishment by him, including several generals with extraordinary physical fitness. But not long after they entered, those few
A general as strong as an iron tower was tortured to the point of dying, skin and bones...
Those who are sent to the jails of the Ministry of Criminal Justice will not be strictly interrogated so much as they will be tortured and beaten into submission.
"Your Majesty, it is clear to me that I have never done anything to poison anyone. The reason why I am intact is just a coincidence. If there is no evidence, I will never accept the fate of being rashly arrested and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Justice!" Ji Fuyin
He slowly knelt down in front of the emperor, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and his clear black and white eyes looked at the emperor quietly.
The emperor's face turned pale instantly, "How dare you disobey my order? The evidence is that both the queen and the concubine have been poisoned, but you are standing here intact. This is the biggest evidence! If you hadn't been in Tang
She was poisoned, how could you fabricate lies and refuse to drink that bowl of soup? Someone, send her to the Ministry of Punishment!"
As soon as the emperor gave the order, the guard next to him rushed over, clamped Ji Fuyin firmly, and forcibly dragged her out of the room.
Luoyu and Qingmei were also panicked. They were thinking about who to beg to save the young lady from the pain of prison. Unexpectedly, Ji Fuyin's arms had just been clamped, and the two of them were also used to hold prisoners.
The posture is fixed!
"Unjust! Emperor! Our lady is really unjust!" Luo Yu and the two struggled hard and kept shouting injustice to the emperor, but their shouting only made the emperor's face become more and more livid.
