"Hey, Xiao Liuzi, come here for a moment," she shouted.
Xiao Liuzi put down the small fan he was holding to fan the flames and ran to her and said, "Mother Wang, what's going on?"
She pointed to the medicinal ingredients on the top floor and said, "Help me take that down."
Xiao Liuzi stretched out his hand and said, "It's too high, I can't reach it."
Grandma Wang said enthusiastically: "You try again here, and I'll get a stool."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Liuzi continued to hold the high-level medicinal food. Grandma Wang came to the medicine jar where the medicine was decoctioned. She took out a small yellow bag from her arms and opened it to see white powder. She looked around and used it tremblingly.
Open the lid of the jar with your hands and pour the white powder into the jar.
"Mother Wang." She shouted, and she was so frightened that the lid of the jar in her hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Xiao Liuzi heard the sound and ran out, knelt down and shouted: "General Lan."
Lan Zihui snatched the paper bag from Grandma Wang's hand, sniffed it and said, "Snow spider powder stained with arsenic, you are really poisonous, let's go."
Grandma Wang suddenly knelt down and cried, "General, please spare my life, please spare my life."
"Spare your life? Go to the emperor and beg. Let's go." Lan Zihui dragged her to the door and met Defu. He said to Defu, "Eunuch De, I'm afraid your medicine has been re-fried."
Deshe said with a smile: "I know, look, I won't arrest you now."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Lan Zihui dragged Grandma Wang away. Defu walked into the house and ordered: "Get up quickly, fry this medicine and send it to the empress, do you understand?"
"You know, please don't worry, Mr. De."
Watching Defu leave, Xiao Liuzi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, turned around and picked up another clean medicine jar to fry the medicine.
In Zhilan Garden, Xuan Yi looked at Qi Zi worriedly, wishing that he was the one lying there. The Queen Mother sat aside, twisting Buddha beads in her hands and chanting the Heart Sutra, asking Bodhisattva to bless Qi Zi to wake up soon. Suddenly she heard something coming from outside the house.
Lan Zihui's voice made Xuan Yi look away from Qi Zi and look at the door.
"Come on, come in quickly." Lan Zihui dragged Grandma Wang into the house: "Kneel down quickly."
"I would like to report to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, that Grandma Wang put arsenic and snow spider powder in Concubine Butterfly's medicine and was caught by me." Lan Zihui reported with a hint of relief.
Xuan Yi did not speak, and stared at Grandma Wang with narrowed eyes. Grandma Wang was so frightened that she said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this servant is unjust, Lan Zihui is talking nonsense."
"You old woman, you still dare to quibble." Lan Zihui took out the bag of poison from his arms and handed it to Grandma Wang and said, "What is this? If it is nonsense, do you dare to eat it?"
Grandma Wang was so frightened that she backed away. Lan Zihui deliberately pushed his hand in front of her mouth. She was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the Queen Mother, I don't dare to do that anymore."
"What? Do you think you can still live?" Xuan Yi's cold words were filled with murderous intent.
Grandma Wang was so frightened that she begged, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Tell me, why do you want to harm Concubine Die? Does she have a grudge or grudge against you?" the Queen Mother said angrily.
"This..., slave... slave..."
"It seems that you don't want to tell the truth, right? You know the consequences of telling lies in front of the emperor and me, can you afford it?"
Grandma Wang lowered her head and thought without saying anything. Xuan Yi said, "How about I let you meet someone?"
Grandma Wang raised her head and looked at Xuan Yi in confusion. He clapped his hands, and two guards escorted a eunuch in. The person who came was none other than Xiao Yizi, the young eunuch of Zhengde Palace. Grandma Wang collapsed in panic.
Looking at him from the ground.
"Why, you don't recognize your nephew anymore?" Lan Zihui said.
Xiao Yizi knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Those things were done by my aunt and are none of my business."
"Tell me, what does your aunt ask you to do?"
Xiao Yizi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Returning to the Emperor, last time Concubine Butterfly asked me about the former empress in Qifeng Palace, but I was careless and told my aunt."
"Then what?"
"The girl asked me to check the relationship between Concubine Butterfly and the former empress." Xiao Yizi replied.
"Then did you find anything?"
"No, I didn't find anything."
"If you tell lies, I can kill you right now."
Xiao Yizi kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything this slave said is true and there is absolutely no deception. Please tell me, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother."
"Hmph." Xuan Yi waved his hand, and Lan Zihui ordered someone to drag Xiao Yizi down.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me..." The cry for help spread far away, but now who can plead for her, who dares to plead for her?
Grandma Wang was frightened and knelt on the ground trembling. Her usual majesty was completely gone. At this time, she was just a sinner who did bad things. Xuan Yi stared at her coldly and asked: "You are a grandma asking such a question?"
What to do with so much to do?”
"Reply to the Emperor, I am just... just curious." She replied without hesitation.
"Oh, it seems that you are quite curious. How about we change the place to talk? I think Concubine Jin needs to know the truth of the matter now."
Grandma Wang looked up at Xuan Yi in shock, thinking: It's over, it's over, everything is over. She made up her mind and got up and hit a wall in the house. Fortunately, Lan Zihui was quick and caught her.
"It's not that easy to die. Don't worry, you will die, but not now." Lan Zihui said angrily when he mentioned her.
Grandma Wang was lying on the ground. Lan Zihui lifted her up twice before lifting her up. Xuan Yi turned sideways and said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, I have some matters to deal with. Are you going to come with us?"
"I'm not going to go, so I won't have to worry about it. I'll take a good look at Qi Zi here. You can go." The Queen Mother stood up and walked to the edge of the bed to sit down and said.
"Yes, I will retire."
After leaving Zhilan Garden, a group of people walked toward Yunxiu Palace in a mighty manner. On the way, Xuan Yi ordered people to call Concubine Ling, who was confined in the palace by the Queen Mother, and Concubine Mei. Wang also called Concubine Mei to Yunxiu Palace.
Nanny was being escorted, and she felt that her end was coming. Her mind was blank at this time, and she was walking mechanically. Everything could only depend on fate, and she only thought about the mercy of the emperor and sparing her life.
Along the way, many eunuchs and palace people asked for permission to give way. A hazy fog enveloped the palace, and a storm was coming.
In the Yunxiu Palace, Bizhu heard that the emperor had arrived and hurriedly went out to greet him. Concubine Jin had calmed down and was lying on the brocade couch. When she saw Xuan Yi coming, she knelt down to greet the emperor and said, "Concubine, please see the emperor. Long live the emperor."
."
"Get up." Xuan Yi walked to the table nearby and sat down and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Jin stood up and saw many people coming in outside the house. Grandma Wang was still being escorted. She looked for answers from Xuan Yi in confusion.
Xuan Yi said to her quietly: "Sit down, I will show you a good show today."
Concubine Jin sat aside silently, and Xuan Yili said seriously: "Mother Wang, don't you want to talk about it when you get here? Do you think your loyalty to the master can save your life?
"
"Your Majesty..." Grandma Wang knelt on the ground and cried again.
At this time, a palace official came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling and Concubine Mei have arrived."
"Let them in."
"According to the order." The palace servants bowed and bowed. Concubine Ling and Concubine Mei came in. Concubine Ling was followed by Lu Xiu, and Concubine Mei was followed by Zilan. The four of them knelt down at the same time and said: "Kowtow to the emperor."
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When the four of them got up, they all felt a different atmosphere than usual. The room was very tight and depressing, as if it would explode immediately with the slightest touch.
"Okay, now that we are all here, let's start with you." Xuan Yi pointed at Concubine Jin and said. Concubine Jin looked at Xuan Yi inexplicably, not knowing what he was talking about.
