Sanfu said aggrievedly: "Concubine Hui is so kind, and this bamboo forest is not a forbidden area. Anyone can come, so I didn't think of it for a moment. It was not intentional."
"Or maybe there is no three hundred taels of silver here?" Wen Ruyan always felt that the Nala family was suspicious, and the three blessings happened to come to him several times by chance. Furthermore, if Rong Yuan Hongsheng was not there this time, he would definitely die.
There is no doubt that Hongli will also be convicted. No matter what, she will benefit the most.
Nala stroked the pattern on her sleeves and said calmly: "According to Concubine Hui, everyone who comes to the bamboo forest is suspicious?" He raised his eyebrows, pointed at the two palace servants and said: "You might as well ask them
, has only Sanfu been here in the past six months?"
Facing Wen Ruyan's gaze, the two palace servants shrank their necks and whispered: "Returning to the Queen and Concubine Hui, in addition to Eunuch Fu, many people have been here, but Eunuch Fu always talks to the servants every time he comes.
As mentioned above, one time the servants mentioned that the old mother at home was sick and had no money to take her out of the palace. Eunuch Fu kindly rewarded her with a few taels of silver, so the servants were particularly impressed."
"Concubine Hui has heard it. Do you have any questions?" After saying this, she turned to look at Yinzhen and said with a sincere expression: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. If Sanfu is really ordered by me,
This poisoning must have been done secretly, how dare you be so blatant."
"Maybe it's intentional?" Wen Ruyan raised her face and said with an imperceptible coldness: "Your Majesty, since the Queen has defended herself in every possible way, why not let her bring the bamboo pen she made. If there is indeed bamboo,
The pen will prove that what the empress said is true. On the contrary, it is Sanfu who poisoned the bamboo leaves in the name of making bamboo pens to murder the third elder brother."
Faced with Wen Ruyan's repeated provocations, Nala became angry again and said coldly: "Concubine Hui, I am the queen of the dynasty, how can you slander me so wantonly!"
"If it turns out that I was wrong in the end, I will kowtow to the empress and admit her mistake." Wen Ruyan said without giving in. She and Ling Ruo had endured the queen for a long time, and now they finally have the chance.
How could I miss the opportunity to bring her down?
Before Nala could say anything else, Yinzhen's voice sounded more indifferent than before, "Queen, since you have some doubts, you should get to the bottom of it, right?"
Nala was shocked. She knew that if she refused again, she would really arouse Yinzhen's suspicion. She quickly lowered her head and said, "The emperor is right."
Yinzhen nodded slightly and said, "Then, let's go to Kunning Palace."
It is a long distance from the bamboo forest to Kunning Palace, and they have walked a lot before. All the girls were a little sore and weak, but no one said anything. They all wanted to know whether Nala was
Poisoner. If so, not only is it difficult to protect the position, but even one's life is at risk.
When going to Kunning Palace, Wen Ruyan deliberately walked a few steps slowly, fell next to Ling Ruo, and said softly: "I hope this time I can pull up the queen. Only in this way can you and Hongli have a happy life."
Pass."
Ling Ruo was moved and said: "Even so, sister, you are taking too many risks. If you contradict me like this, the queen will definitely hold a grudge."
Wen Ruyan sneered and said, "Let her hate her. Zuo Hanyan has already married far away. There is nothing worth caring about in this palace anymore. I am nothing more than a walking corpse."
Wen Ruqing quickly shook her arm and said: "Sister, please don't say that. You, I, Concubine Xi and Concubine Jin are here. If something happens to you, we will all be very worried."
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a talk." Facing this well-behaved and sensible sister, a smile appeared on Wen Ruyan's face, "Anyway, unless the queen is removed, we will not have a good life."
Wen Ruqing nodded, and said with some disbelief: "Is the Queen really so bad? I see her as a very kind-hearted person."
Ling Ruo sighed and said, "By the time you see her true side, it will be too late. Anyway, remember, never trust anyone in this palace."
Wen Ruqing nodded uneasily, her face turned a little pale, presumably because she found it hard to accept what she said to them.
After walking for less than half an hour, we finally arrived at Kunning Palace. The eunuchs guarding outside the palace were a little frightened when they saw so many people coming at once. After they woke up, they quickly knelt down and saluted.
Yinzhen went straight in without even looking. After sitting down in the main hall, he looked at Nala who was slightly uneasy and said, "Queen, where is the bamboo pen?"
Xiao Ningzi and others who stayed in the palace rushed over when they heard the commotion. Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was not right, they did not dare to come forward and could only stand uneasily outside the palace.
Nala bit her lip and said nothing, as if she had something to hide. The way she looked made Yinzhen more and more suspicious. Could it be that the queen was really poisoning her? His wife was a vicious and vicious woman? If that was the case, that would be too much.
Terrible.
Driven by this idea, Yinzhen said: "If the queen doesn't say anything, I will have no choice but to order people to search the palace."
No matter what Yinzhen said, Nala refused to reveal even a word. Nian's eyes narrowed and he said bitterly: "If you don't tell me, there is no bamboo pen at all? Nala Lianyi, you are really the one who wants to harm me.
's son."
Hateful to the extreme, Nian actually brazenly called the queen by her name in public. Nala's eyelids twitched and he suddenly looked over, but never said a word. When he looked back at Yinzhen, he only said one sentence,
"I did not poison you."
Yinzhen didn't say anything, nor did he rebuke Nian. He just said: "Su Peisheng, Sixi, lead people to search the palace!"
"Slave, I obey!" Su Peisheng and Sixi looked at each other, both knowing that something big was going on this time. Searching the palace is not something that has never happened before, but searching Kunning Palace is something that has never happened before. Could it be that this time?
Is the Queen really going to fall?
In the summer afternoon, the sun is abundant and bright, with scorching heat. Although the Kunning Palace has placed ice, the door of the palace is wide open at this moment, and the ice cubes have no effect at all. Everyone is sweating and warm.
Yan and others could see dense beads of sweat on their temples and foreheads, but no one said anything or wiped the sweat away.
Su Peisheng and the two moved very quickly, and soon they led the young eunuchs to search the palace and courtyards, including the front and back halls, the east and west pavilions, and the side halls and other courtyards, but found nothing.
"Queen!" After hearing Su Peisheng's reply, Yinzhen suddenly showed anger, "Say, why do you want to harm Hongsheng? Although he is the son of a noble concubine, he still calls you Huang's mother, and he was raised in your palace.
But, why do you want to do this? It’s a shame that I trust you so much!”
"My concubine did not poison me!" Nala's face darkened, and he said in a serious voice: "Besides, without a bamboo pen, it cannot be proved that it was my concubine who poisoned me. How could the emperor insist that Concubine Xi and Si Age were accused of poisoning just now?
At that time, the emperor did not say a word of affirmation, and he even defended her in every possible way. Could it be that in the emperor's heart, I am a vicious and cold-blooded person?"
