All the concubines looked at each other, both scared and wanting to see each other. In the end, no one stepped back. Yinzhen looked around and saw Mrs. Shu Mulu biting her lips and standing behind Mrs. Tong Jia, beckoning her to come closer.
, said slowly: "You have always been timid, so don't stay here.0"
Mrs. Shumulu twisted her handkerchief and whispered with clear black and white eyes: "I am not afraid, and I want to..." She seemed a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and said quietly: "I want to stay with the emperor.
.”
"Fuxing!" Nian cursed bitterly from the side. Now that her son had just died, she didn't like anyone and wanted to make everyone have a hard time.
Yinzhen glanced lightly, displeasure flashed through his eyes, and when he looked at Shu Mulu again, he was as gentle as before, "In that case, then stand behind me, so as not to be frightened if you are too close.
.”
Shu Mululu thanked him in surprise, and stood behind Yinzhen in the face of Nian's twisted and uncomfortable expression. After a while, Imperial Doctor Liu arrived first, followed by the palace servant responsible for carrying out Lingchi's punishment. Although this man was a eunuch, his face was full of flesh.
There is a fierceness in his bones. He
He is also thicker than the average person. He is wearing a eunuch uniform and his body is bulging, as if it will be squeezed at any time. He also holds a knife as thin as a willow leaf in his hand.
Everyone knows that this knife has drunk the blood of countless people.
When the concubines and Dr. Liu saw this man, they were a little scared and subconsciously stepped back a little, fearing that they would accidentally be scratched by the knife.
After the eunuch entered the palace, he knelt down and kowtowed excitedly, "My servant Liu Yidao comes to greet the emperor, the queen and the empresses."
Liu Yidao has been an execution eunuch for many years, but because he only does things that involve blood, he is a rough and unlucky person. Not only did he enter the East and West Twelve Palaces, but he also met Yinzhen for the first time.
After Yinzhen signaled him to stand up, Ling Ruo said quietly: "Hey, your surname is Liu too?" After he nodded, Ling Ruo's eyes turned and landed on Liu Hua's face, and said with a half-smile: "Mr. Liu, he and
It's such a coincidence that you have the same last name, maybe your ancestors are brothers."
"Your Majesty, you are joking." Liu Hua responded uncomfortably, but subconsciously moved her feet back a few minutes. As expected, this tiny movement fell into Ling Ruo's eyes, making the smile on her face even brighter.
A little deeper.
Doctor Jin was the last one to be brought up. When he appeared, many people covered their mouths and exclaimed. He looked really miserable. He didn't have any good flesh on his body. And this was something Ling Ruo asked Hong Quan not to do last night.
The consequences of further punishment will be even worse.
Imperial Physician Jin was thrown to the ground like a rag, and the wounds and blood on his body added a hint of blood to the air of Yikun Palace.
In this regard, Yinzhen did not have any sympathy, but instead spoke with deep disgust, "Jin Mingze, I ask you, who is the person who made you murder the third elder brother? Quickly recruit him, otherwise I will kill you tens of millions."
Dead!"
On the side, Nala also said with a deep look: "Jin Mingze, you have heard what the emperor said. It will not do you any good if you don't say it anymore. It is better to make a sacrifice early to avoid suffering more flesh and blood."
Imperial Physician Jin glanced at the knife in Liu Yidao's hand. There was a hint of anger in his numb eyes, but it soon dimmed again. He could only hear him saying: "Your Majesty, if the guilty minister will reveal the envoy, your Majesty will be absolved."
The pain of my skin and flesh?"
"You cannot escape death penalty, but you can avoid living crime." Yinzhen said these eight words coldly.
Imperial Physician Jin nodded silently, and Liu Hua next to him said hypocritically: "Imperial Physician Liu, I think of you and my colleagues, and I advise you not to be stubborn and unable to live with yourself."
Imperial Physician Jin looked at Liu Hua's hypocritical face and showed a sarcastic smile. It was thanks to him that he was in this situation, but he still had the nerve to say this to himself. He was really thick-skinned.
At this moment, Nian suddenly rushed forward and said with undisguised hatred: "Jin Mingze, tell me, who is in charge of this? If you don't recruit it from the truth, I will make your life worse than death!"
Jin Mingze stared at her blankly, and after showing a trace of sadness, he suddenly raised his chained hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister deserves death for killing the third elder brother. The guilty minister is willing to tell the truth about the person behind the scenes.
name to atone for the sins committed.”
Seeing that Imperial Physician Jin was willing to speak, both Yinzhen and the others became excited. Yinzhen leaned over and stared at Imperial Physician Jin and said, "Tell me, who is it?"
"That person is..." Following Dr. Jin's words, everyone's hearts were in their throats. They even forgot to breathe and just stared at Jin Mingze without blinking.
Doctor Liu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. As long as Jin Mingze said the word "Hui Fei", the matter assigned by the Empress would be completed. By then, he would definitely be trusted by the Empress even more than he is now, and
Concubine Xi will also take care of herself and find it difficult to cause trouble for herself.
As long as he has a firm foothold in the palace and relies on the big tree of the Queen, even if Concubine Xi recovers, there will be nothing she can do to her, unless she wants to have a head-on conflict with the Queen.
However, all the pride and smiles disappeared when Jin Mingze said the second half of the sentence. He could only hear him say word by word: "It's the Queen!"
Jing, deathly silence shrouded the sky over Yikun Palace. Everyone except Ling Ruo found it unbelievable. How could it be the queen? How could it be her? She had obviously been cleared of suspicion...
After waiting for the earth gods to return one by one, Yikun Palace suddenly became chaotic, staring at the queen with suspicion and fear. Being stared at by so many eyes, even the queen couldn't help but feel a little out of breath. She slapped the armrest heavily and stood up.
Pointing at Dr. Jin, he said: "How dare you, under whose orders you are, dare to accuse me unjustly!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Ruyan said with a happy smile: "It was obviously the Queen who persuaded him to confess the envoy. Why is it that now that Dr. Jin has recruited someone, you are saying that he wronged you?"
"Sister!" Ling Ruo pulled her sleeve and shook her head to signal her not to speak at this time, but Wen Ruyan finally caught the queen's sore spot, how could she let go, brushed Ling Ruo's hand away and stared at her face with a sneer.
Nala, who was turning green and white, said: "Why, does the Queen have nothing to say?"
There was a dark look in Nala's eyes, she calmed down the anger in her chest, turned around and said to Yinzhen who said nothing: "Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged once yesterday, will she be wronged again today?
If this queen is so unworthy of the emperor’s trust, then please ask the emperor to depose her as queen.”
To strike first and gain the upper hand has always been Nala's usual tactic.
Sure enough, her words brought back Yinzhen's memory of the day before yesterday, and his expression softened. At this time, Shu Mulu also said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
