Ling Ruo nodded, and after signaling Shui Xiu to help Hong Zhan put on clothes, he said, "From this point of view, it shouldn't be the Qi Jia family, because there is no reason for her to use incense to stun Brother Six."
Zhou Minghua nodded and said: "Applying incense on the needle shows that it was premeditated, but Yan Guiren did not know that he would meet Brother Six in the Imperial Garden."
"Since it's not her, then only Haitang is left." When he said this, Ling Ruo's eyes fell on Hong Zhan, who was playing with a silver bracelet that Shui Xiu handed him to play with. He didn't know that
He was involved in a conspiracy, and he also didn't know that his biological mother was using him as a pawn to eliminate his opponent.
Being in the royal family is a kind of sadness in itself; if you meet a mother who is extremely utilitarian and does not use any means to achieve her goals, it is the sadness of sadness.
The Liu family... is even more terrifying than the Nala family. At least the Nala family has never taken advantage of Honghui...
After playing with the bracelet for a while, Hongzhan returned the bracelet to Shuixiu, jumped off the imperial concubine's bed and came to Ling Ruo. He raised his head and said, "Mother, can I go out?"
Ling Ruo came back to her senses, caressed Hong Zhan's face with pity and said, "Of course, can I carry you out?"
"Okay." Hongzhan agreed without hesitation. For some reason, he liked the feeling of being held in Ling Ruo's arms, just like being held by his mother.
When Ling Ruo appeared in the main hall with Hong Zhan in her arms, Mrs. Liu also came back holding Jin Gu's hand. She saw Haitang being grabbed by someone and her mouth was stuffed with silk. Hong Zhan was held in Ling Ruo's arms again.
Obviously realizing that something was wrong, he quickly held Hongzhan in his arms regardless of his weak body, stared at Ling Ruo nervously and said, "What did you do to Hongzhan, and why did you arrest Haitang?"
Ling Ruo ignored her and just asked Haitang to be let go. As soon as Haitang's hands were free, he quickly pulled out the silk in his mouth and said in a panic: "Master, just now Concubine Xi forcibly took the sixth brother away and asked Imperial Physician Zhou to replace him."
He checked himself."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu's already bloodless face became even paler. She stared at Ling Ruo and gritted her teeth and said, "You...you deliberately pushed me away so that you could do these shady things, right?
"She regretted unspeakably in her heart. She should have taken Hong Zhan with her just now and not given Niu Hulu the opportunity to take advantage of it. It was all because of the severe stomach pain just now that she had no time to think about it.
Ling Ruo said without thinking: "Concubine Qian, the more you talk, the more you go too far. I can tolerate you once or twice, but I cannot tolerate it endlessly. Please tell me, what do you mean by shady things?"
Mrs. Liu did not restrain herself because of her words, and still said in a sinister voice: "You know that I don't allow you to check Hongzhan, so you used a trick to get rid of me, and then let someone capture Haitang and let you do whatever you want."
Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows and said in surprise: "Concubine Qian, what you said is really ridiculous. How did I know that you are weak and cold and can't eat mung bean cake? You never said it yourself."
Mrs. Liu was speechless after being asked, but the doubts in her heart only increased. It was not that she had never eaten mung bean cakes in her palace and nothing had happened. Why did something happen when she got here? She also said she was weak.
It's cold, shouldn't you use mung bean cake? Thinking about it carefully, I just had a strange and sudden stomachache, a bit like someone...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu's eyes turned cold, and she stared at Sanfu and asked, "Did you put medicine in the mung bean cake? Did you give me abdominal pain like cramps?"
Sanfu said with an innocent face: "I don't know what the empress is talking about. I just ordered people to make cakes and give medicine... Even if I borrowed the courage of me, I would not dare to do it. And if the medicine was really given, how could Dr. Zhou fail to diagnose it?"
come out."
Although Mrs. Liu is not very clear about the relationship between Zhou Minghua and Ling Ruo, she has heard about it a little bit. She was just tortured by abdominal pain and couldn't think, so she ignored the matter. "How do I know what happened to you?"
It's the same thing, in short, there must be something wrong with that plate of mung bean cake, I will take it to other imperial doctors for examination."
When he was about to order Haitang to take the mung bean cake away, he found that the table above the table was empty, with no sign of the mung bean cake at all, while other people's cakes were still well placed there. This was clearly a sign of corpse destruction. Mrs. Liu was so angry that her chest hurt, but she had no choice but to
Unfortunately, she was given the upper hand and was at a disadvantage in everything. Now she just hopes that Ling Ruo will not notice anything unusual and let her leave as soon as possible.
However, sometimes the less you want something to happen, the more it will happen.
"Just now, when I asked Dr. Zhou to examine the body of Brother Six, I found a tiny pinprick on his back. I also thought about what Brother Six had said before when he was pushed down. His back felt like a mosquito bite. It was a bit...
The pain must have been caused by someone pricking him with a needle."
Ms. Liu's eyelids twitched violently. The next moment, she was staring at Ms. Qi Jia fiercely and said: "You are so vicious. You don't promote her enough. You actually stabbed her with a needle. What are your intentions? Do you really want to harm her?"
Death Hongzhan?"
Qi Jia was startled, then waved her hands quickly and said, "No, I have never pricked Brother Six with a needle. Besides, in that case, where could I have a needle?"
Mrs. Liu didn't listen to her excuse at all, and said directly: "You don't have to argue anymore, who else could it be if it weren't for you!"
"Concubine..." Qi Jia couldn't explain it to her, so she could only say to Ling Ruo aggrievedly: "Mother, do you believe me? I really have never even touched Brother Six."
"I believe it was not you who did this." Ling Ruo's words made Qi Jia sigh in relief, but also made Liu look slightly ferocious, "What do you mean, empress?"
Ling Ruo said calmly: "Physician Zhou checked the needle hole on Sixth Elder Brother's back and found something like a scent around the skin. This explains why Sixth Elder Brother was unconscious even though the injury on his forehead was not serious.
, because he was not knocked unconscious at all, but was
People are in a coma." In Liu's pale, paper-like color, she continued: "Concubine Qian, I would like to ask, why Yan Guiren fainted the sixth brother for no reason, if she really wanted to do something to her.
If Brother Six is in trouble, you can apply poison on the needle, which is much more effective than incense."
In fact, Zhou Minghua did not find incense or anything near the needle's eye. The reason why Ling Ruo said this was to blackmail Mrs. Liu and see what kind of reaction she would have.
"How do you know, my concubine? If you want to know, I should ask Yan Guiren." Although Mrs. Liu tried her best to appear calm, Ling Ruo still saw endless panic in her eyes, as if a carefully woven lie was slowly being torn apart.
It was open, and she didn't know how to remedy it.
Ling Ruo smiled calmly and said, "But I feel that Qian Concubine will know better." She showed off her intricately embroidered sleeves, "While Brother Six was not paying attention, he pushed him to the ground.
, and at the same time, he pricked Brother Six with a scented needle, making him unconscious. Because the needle eye was too thin.
Xiao, if you don't look for it carefully, you can easily miss it. In addition, there is indeed an injury on the forehead, so people will think that it is a coma caused by a fall, and there will be no other suspicions. As for the culprit, they will also identify it as Yan Guiren, and
Concubine Fei Haitang and Qian, is this inference accurate?"
