Chapter 825 Layout at the expense of life (second update)
As the empress of the throne, Zhu Yaer has many maids serving her. For example, the secret color porcelain is specially organized by the palace maid Agate. Now that there is a problem with the secret color porcelain, Agate has become the first suspect.
Agate was quickly controlled, and the maid in the palace found poison in her room, which can be said to be conclusive evidence. Not only that, two pieces of jewelry and several silver notes were also found in Agate's room.
The jewelry was quickly recognized to be the style of the Xie family. As an aristocratic family, the Xie family prefers to use their own jewelry masters for their girls’ jewelry.
Hehua swore that those two pieces of jewelry were not given to her by concubine Hui. This also meant that the jewelry on Agate was given to her by concubine Hui.
Not only that, the banknote was also stamped with the Xie family's seal, so you couldn't deny it even if you wanted to.
When Agate saw these things, her beauty turned pale, and she kept complaining, saying that she didn't know why these things appeared in her house, and that someone must have framed her.
Su Yueling believed that she was telling the truth. This agate was most likely the Xie family's spy in the palace. Xie Yunzi would not be stupid enough to reward her with these personal imprinted properties. Most likely, these things were from Xie Yunzi's past.
Give it to Zhu Yaer, and then Zhu Yaer will use it to blame Agate.
But she believed it was useless.
In the eyes of everyone, they would only think that Agate was bribed by Xie Yunzi to poison Zhu Yaer.
Not only her, but Empress Gu must also have noticed. She sighed softly in her voice, "Send A Nao and her whole family to the Criminal Punishment Department, and then check the background of her relatives."
Even though she is in the palace and is not as well-informed as outside the palace, she can still feel that the family's situation is getting more and more difficult. Xie Yunzi is not a fool, and more than a year has been enough for her to understand, even if she gave the
With so much sincerity, the emperor never trusted her from beginning to end. She was just a tool he used to appease the family.
I don't know how long it took, but Xie Yunzi heard a commotion. She came back to her senses and found that a group of imperial guards had surrounded Yanchun Palace.
Su Yueling went to the eldest princess. She really wanted to know whether Xie Yunzi would fall directly on Zhu Yaer this time. It was like following a TV series, and she really didn't want to give up until she saw the finale.
Unlike Xie Yunzi, she has no family to rely on. Even if she wants revenge, she can only pay the price with her own life.
Su Yueling couldn't help but feel a touch of pity for her.
Xie Yunzi felt as if she had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and a series of gold stars appeared in front of her eyes.
It's a pity that I don't know who can't bear to take action, otherwise she could use Zhu Yaer's death to make the matter bigger, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack several princes.
Xie Yunzi could only comfort herself. She was always careful and never left any unnecessary items in the palace. The poison used in the agate was also delivered directly to her from outside the palace and had never been in her hands.
Ya'er actually liked Pearl very much when she was alive. After all, they were masters and apprentices. Although they later drifted away from each other and drifted apart, since they are dead, the past grudges should be wiped out.
The unwillingness turned into vines, tightly binding her heart, as if even breathing became difficult.
…
She sat there and stared into the distance, lost in her own thoughts.
The palace people around her were all on tiptoe, fearing that they might accidentally make some noise and disturb her.
Man Nao's family background was not clean to begin with. Zhu Ya'er died so suddenly that Xie Yunzi would most likely not have time to finish the matter. By then, it would be enough to trace the clues to her, which would be enough to convict her.
Aunt Zhu, who was beside Empress Gu, and Geng Hai, the emperor's most useful servant, led many palace people in and walked in with solemn expressions.
This is probably Zhu Yaer's purpose.
When Xie Yunzi heard the news, her heart beat faster unconsciously, but she quickly calmed down. She stopped drugging Zhu Yaer two months ago, and she even erased all the traces
.I am afraid that some concubine in the palace could not stand Zhu Yaer's favor and took action. This matter had nothing to do with her at all. She could just sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
Two hours ago, Xie Yunzi was really shocked when she received the sudden news of Zhu Yaer's death.
She lowered her eyes and ordered: "Take out the box of Nanzhu from the warehouse and deliver it to Changqiu Palace when the time comes."
It's just that Xie Yunzi's palace servants were driven back before they could enter the Changqiu Palace.
But it doesn't matter if she dies, once she dies, she will be the only concubine in the palace, and she will no longer be in the embarrassing situation like before.
Zhu Yaer herself!
In the past, Xie Yunzi used Zhu Ya'er as a useful knife. When Zhu Ya'er asked Xie for something from outside the palace, she would turn a blind eye. Anyway, if things happened, it would have nothing to do with her.
No, in addition to agate, there is another person who may possess poison.
Xie Yunzi suddenly had a bad premonition. She got up from the chair and showed a puzzled look, "Mother Zhu, but your majesty and the queen have something to do with the concubine?"
Changqiu Palace was surrounded by guards, and there was faint news that Zhu Yaer died suddenly due to poisoning.
Seeing that she was getting further and further away from that position, and the family's support for her was getting weaker and weaker, Xie Yunzi's patience was about to be exhausted. It was like there was a wild beast hidden in her heart, and she wanted to release it and let the emperor
Pay the due price.
Geng Hai felt blessed slightly, and then led the people to search the palace.
Obviously Agate gave up its business a long time ago.
Geng Hai said: "Your Majesty, your concubine Hui died at the hands of the palace man A Nao. Your jewelry and banknotes were found from A Nao. Your Majesty ordered me to search the palace. Your Majesty, I have offended you."
Agate is one of the nails that the Xie family buried in the palace.
According to her estimation, Zhu Yaer's body should be able to survive for half a year, and she would not die so early.
She tried her best to calm down, her expression was just right aggrieved and confused, "Is there any misunderstanding here?"
In addition to controlling Manao and her relatives, Queen Gu also ordered people to surround Yanchun Palace and seal it off so that no one could leave. She looked solemn. She had to report this matter to the emperor to see what he wanted.
I hope she will have a good pregnancy in her next life.
Is this Zhu Yaer's plan?
Ever since she broke up with Zhu Ya'er, Zhu Ya'er has always been in despair and has not made any unnecessary moves. Her daily actions are all under the supervision of Xie Yunzi, and Xie Yunzi has a kind of deep-seated contempt for Zhu Ya'er, so she just
She thought it was because she was afraid of hurting her relatives, so she swallowed her anger.
She is a lowly commoner. Even if she puts on fancy clothes, she can't change her petty temperament.
She suppressed the growing uneasiness in her heart and watched as these palace servants unceremoniously searched for the objects in her palace. Her favorite pen holder was inspected at will without knowing the importance, and the mattress was torn apart with force.
Grandma's hands roughly inspected the bed quilt.
Finally, the nanny rummaged through the secret compartment on the bed and found a box with several medicine packages in it.
The blood on Xie Yunzi's face suddenly faded, and her lips were as white as a man's.
