Hearing that it was not human blood, Yinzhen's face softened slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Shu Mulu, who was kneeling on the ground, said timidly: "It's not human blood, but why is the concubine watering the flowers with blood?"
Dai Jia said with an excited expression: "When did I water the flowers with blood? I don't know why there is blood in this pot of flowers."
Shu Mulu shrank, and then she thought of something. She looked at Rong Yuan and said, "Mr. Xu, will watering flowers with blood make them wither?"
"No, when Wei Chen traveled around, he once saw a hunter who caught prey every day and peeled and bled it on the place where a cluster of roses grew outside the house. He did this all year round. As a result, not only did nothing happen to the cluster of roses, but also
It blooms better than ordinary roses."
Mr. Shumulus blinked and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Then why does this pot of peony turn black and wither?"
Her question made Rong Yuan stunned for a moment. Yes, just blood will not cause any harm to the flowers, and now is the season when peonies are in full bloom. They should not wither unless...
Thinking like this, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he asked Zhou Minghua to take a silver needle, insert it into the flower mud, and then take it out after a while. The silver needle had turned black, and when Rong Yuan put the silver needle under his nose
When I smelled it carefully, I could smell a hint of spiciness that I hadn't noticed before.
Yinzhen also saw the change in the silver needle and immediately said: "Mr. Xu, the silver needle has turned black, but the soil is poisonous?"
"Yes, and I can be sure that there is poison from the black water delphinium flower in this soil."
Blackwater Delphinium Flower? Anyone who hears these five words will change their color. I can’t believe that the Blackwater Delphinium Flower, which has not been found even after searching Jingren Palace, is actually in this inconspicuous flower pot.
middle.
When Dai Jia was still at a loss as to why the flower pot was poisonous, Shu Mulu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have remembered it. If you want to use mosquitoes to harm Brother Si, you must first let the mosquitoes inhale the poison."
’s blood, could it be this blood?”
Yinzhen's eyes turned cold, he stared at Dai Jia and said: "Cheng concubine, at this time, what other explanation do you have?"
Dai Jia quickly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know that this pot of flowers is placed in the courtyard. Anyone in Jingren Palace can have access to it. It cannot be proven that it was my concubine."
Maybe some people fell here intentionally and then wanted to frame the fault on my concubine."
Yinzhen looked at her coldly and said, "Are you trying to say that Jiahui put the blame on you?"
Dai Jiashi did not hear anything wrong with Yinzhen's words and nodded repeatedly, "I am really unjust. Your Majesty must not fall into the villain's tricks. I am..."
"That's enough, I don't want to listen to your sophistry anymore." Yinzhen interrupted her sharply, "Tell me, are you deliberately trying to harm Concubine Xi?!"
"I don't have it! I don't have it!" Dai Jia was so frightened by his scolding that she burst into tears. She kowtowed repeatedly and shouted that she was wronged. "I have always respected my empress, how dare I have the intention of harming her."
"Do you really respect me?" Yinzhen said coldly: "Concubine Cheng, you entered the palace earlier than Concubine Xi. Now that she is a concubine, you are just a concubine. Are you really not unwilling at all?"
The words he said are growing in Yinzhen's heart at this moment, making him more and more suspicious of Dai Jia."
Faced with Yinzhen's questioning, Dai Jia was so frightened that she trembled. She did not expect that the search for the palace not only failed to prove her innocence, but also made Yinzhen doubt herself even more, "No, I really don't have it. If the emperor doesn't believe it, I will."
Concubine
I swear to God that I will never harm Concubine Xi." Seeing that Yinzhen didn't speak, she hurriedly crawled to Ling Ruo and said plaintively: "Concubine, please say something for me. I am really unjust.
Yes, nothing has been done.”
Before Ling Ruo could speak, Shu Mulu's weak voice came over, "The emperor has always been fair and strict. If the concubine has never done anything like this, why should she be so afraid?"
"You!" Dai Jia suddenly turned around and stared at Shu Mulu. She knew that this woman was responsible for everything. She wanted to kill herself, but she is still saying such things now. It is really hateful.
To the extreme, she wished she could kill this vicious-hearted woman.
Ling Ruo had always felt that the whole thing was done by the Shu Mulu family, and that the Dai Jia family had neither the guts nor the brains to arrange such an elaborate and rigorous situation. But judging from what Yinzhen meant, it seemed that he had believed the Shu Mulu family and thought that the Dai Jia family
He's the one who poisoned me.
When she was still thinking about how to speak for Dai Jia, Dai Jia was so excited by the hatred in her heart that she lost her mind. She got up and rushed to Shu Mulu and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I just sent Ru Liu to the Jing Army."
, you never wanted her life, why did you want to harm me like this?!"
Shu Mulu seemed to be frightened by her appearance, and said fearfully: "I don't know what the empress is talking about. I have never harmed the empress. Besides, I have never been to Chengqian Palace before today."
Ling Ruo saw that Yinzhen looked wrong and shouted to Dai Jia, "Concubine, please don't be impulsive!"
However, these words were finally a step too late. Before that, Dai Jia had already slapped Shu Mulu on the face hard, and said in his mouth: "You are a smart man who is always showing off, even if you have never been to Chengqian Palace.
It must be you! Tell me, how did you harm Brother Si?"
Shu Mululu covered her cheeks and sobbed, ignoring Dai Jia's pressing questions. Seeing that she was silent, Dai Jia, who was eager to prove her innocence, raised her hand to slap her again, but this time she was held tightly before the slap could be carried out.
The person who caught her was none other than Yinzhen. "Who allowed you to hit someone?"
Dai Jia said with all the aggrievedness: "Your Majesty, she framed my concubine and harmed others, she deserves to die!"
"He deserves to die." Before Dai Jiashi could be happy, Yinzhen said again: "But the person who deserves to die is you!"
"Your Majesty, I am really unjust. Mrs. Shumulu is full of lies. Don't believe her!" Facing Yinzhen's cold eyes, Dai Jiashi trembled all over.
Yinzhen's words made Ling Ruo realize that he had murderous intentions, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I think there is something fishy about this matter. As a concubine, she may not be the murderer."
"I know what I know." As he said this, Yinzhen stared at Dai Jia, who was trembling and weak, and said word by word: "Before, you came to Concubine Xi and said that Jiahui wanted to harm you, so you asked Concubine Xi to help you in front of me.
Begging for mercy is actually just looking for an excuse to come to Chengqian Palace so that you can put the silk bag containing mosquitoes fed with poisonous blood into Chengqian Palace and kill Concubine Xi, right?"
Dai Jia cried and cried: "That's not the case. Shu Mulu really said that he wanted to kill me. I... I was really scared, so I came to see Concubine Xi."
