Ling Ruo lowered his head and said: "My son has never had any intention of harming Third Elder Brother, let alone instructing Imperial Physician Jin to harm anyone. Please give me a warning!"
The stakes in this matter were so important that Wu Yashi couldn't help but draw a conclusion. She frowned and said, "According to what you say, Liu Hua is the one who wronged you?"
"Yes, Imperial Physician Liu did not know where he injured his wound, but he deliberately put it on my head. I am really unjust." As soon as Ling Ruo finished speaking, he heard Nala say: "So, Concubine Xi is
Don’t you admit that you have been to the Shenxing Department?”
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said to Wu Ya: "I dare not hide it from the emperor's mother. I did go to the Shenxing Department, but after Dr. Liu, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can call the Shenxing Department."
Eunuch Hong asked."
"Go and bring Hong Quan's cry." Following Wu Ya's words, the palace attendant left quickly, and soon came back alone, bowing and saying: "To inform the Queen Mother, yesterday Eunuch Hong claimed that he was old and infirm.
, please leave the palace, the emperor has approved the memorial."
Unexpectedly, Wu Yashi thought for a while and said, "Do you know where Hong Quan went after leaving the palace?"
"I asked the palace officials who were close to Hong Quan, and they all said they didn't know." The palace servant's answer was tantamount to telling everyone that the clue to Hong Quan was broken.
Nala shook her head and said: "Concubine Xi moved very quickly. Knowing that Hong Quan would tell the truth, she arranged for him to leave the palace in advance. But you have done so many wrong things, how can you cover it up like this?"
As soon as she heard the palace man's words, Ling Ruo knew that it was Nala who had done something, so the villain who faced her first complained and sneered: "On that day, the empress aroused suspicion because she sent Sanfu to the bamboo forest, but in the end she didn't.
Has it been proved that she is innocent? Why did the empress insist on it when it was my concubine's turn, without even a hint of doubt? Moreover... I don't know who actually acted when Eunuch Hong left the palace."
Wen Ruyan also picked up the opportunity and said, "Yes, as the empress, the empress must uphold justice. How can we listen to Liu Hua's words? Or is this all a conspiracy between the empress and Liu Hua?"
"Unbridled!" Wu Yashi, who was sitting at the top, said two words slowly, with a hint of sharpness in her slightly yellow eyes, "Concubine Hui, please pay attention to your identity. If you make any disrespectful remarks to the Queen,
Aijia is the first to ask about your crime."
"I don't dare!" Wen Ruyan didn't dare to disobey Wu Ya's words, but she was also not willing to let Nala distort the facts. "I just felt that before the matter was clear, nothing could be done.
There is suspicion, and Concubine Xi is not the only one who should be suspected."
Guarjia stood up at the right moment and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I also have something to say."
"You say it, the Ai family is listening." Although she didn't like Ling Ruo very much, Wu Ya had to treat this matter with caution.
"If Concubine Xi really wants to get rid of Imperial Physician Liu, she can use other methods. Even poisoning Imperial Physician Liu to death would be better than what she is doing now. Based on the current situation, I feel that Concubine Xi is deliberately waiting for Imperial Physician Liu to reveal her.
I, this... no matter how I look at it, I feel it is wrong."
It must be said that Guarjia's analysis of the situation was very accurate, and this was also the most obvious and unavoidable mistake in Nala's layout.
Nala knew about it early on, but letting Ling Ruo escape again and again made her quite impatient, not to mention the loss of the chess piece Liu Hua this time. Although
The chess pieces can be chosen again, but Liu Hua is still quite useful. The sudden loss undoubtedly disrupted her calculations and steps later.
Therefore, this time she decided to give it a try, and Liu Hua did not dare to say anything nonsense. Even if she failed in the end, it would only be the loss of Liu Hua who could not be saved in the first place. There was no loss.
Concubine Cheng said disapprovingly: "Perhaps Concubine Xi didn't want Dr. Liu to die too happily? After all, seeing her own blood flowing out is much scarier than dying all at once."
Wu Ya was a little hesitant for a moment, and looked at Nala and said, "Queen, Hong Quan is no longer able to testify, so besides the injury on Taiyi Liu's hand, is there any other evidence?"
"Huang'e Niang." Naturally, the Nala family would not fight an uncertain battle. Since she dared to come, she was fully prepared. I heard her say calmly: "Mr. Liu said that Concubine Xi stepped on him."
The foot caused a pinhole on the hand, so I thought that if Concubine Xi wanted to prove her innocence, all she had to do was take the shoes that Imperial Physician Liu stepped on that day for a test."
"Is your Majesty suspecting that I have hidden a poisonous needle in my shoe?" Ling Ruo's face was as dark as water, making it difficult to see her true inner thoughts, "But Your Majesty is only checking now, so I am not afraid that I have already thrown away the poisonous needle."
?”
"If nothing can be found in the test, wouldn't it be a good way to restore Concubine Xi's innocence?" Nala smiled slightly. What she was looking for was never the poisonous needle, but the traces of hidden needles. Even if Concubine Xi found out
There was no use throwing the shoes away, and the fact that they could not be found further proved that she was guilty.
Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't speak, Nala turned to Wu Ya, whose eyes were half closed, and said, "Empress Huang, what do you think?"
Wu Yashi opened her eyes, then half-closed and half-opened them again, and said slowly: "Since there is a way, let's wipe it."
Since the Empress Dowager agreed, others naturally had nothing to say. Nala immediately ordered people to fetch all Ling Ruo's shoes. On the other hand, he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to fetch books. All things given to the palaces and courtyards or
The rewards are all recorded, and one pair can know it, and even one pair can be traced.
Seeing Nala dispatching palace servants, Wen Ruyan whispered to Guarjia beside her: "Look at the Queen's attitude, it seems to have been planned in advance. What did you say about Imperial Doctor Liu?"
Ruo'er can do it?"
Guarjia took a serious look at the wound on the back of Liu Hua's hand, "I can't say for sure, but if Ruo'er really did it, I'm afraid it will be troublesome this time. The queen obviously wanted to use the emperor's hand to deal with it.
Ruo'er."
"Oh, this Ruo'er is too reckless. She knows that the queen has been staring at us, but she still wants to hit the tiger's mouth. What can she do without Ru Qing..." She stopped talking in the middle of her sentence. Ru Qing said
The matter is a secret, and there are many people here with mixed ears. If someone with a heart hears it and informs the queen, it will be more than worth the loss.
Guarjia shook her head and sighed: "Well, maybe I was touched by the tragic scene when Mrs. Jin died that day. It's too late to talk about this now. In short, let's act according to the situation. Nothing can make the queen happy.
"
While they were talking, the palace servants sent by the Nala family had come back one after another, and brought all of Ling Ruo's shoes, a total of twelve pairs. According to the records in the Ministry of Internal Affairs records, except for the pair that Ling Ruo is wearing now,
In addition, there are exactly twelve pairs, and the design, color, embroidery pattern, and materials are all flawless.
