An Fuhai's expression changed, and a little palace maid stepped forward and said in a trembling voice, "I seem to know why Concubine Shu was poisoned."
An Fuhai looked at Dongfang Chen. Dongfang Chen didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescence. An Fuhai turned to look at the little palace maid, "Step forward and answer."
The little palace maid walked quickly to the imperial steps, knelt down a little nervously, then leaned down and said: "Your Majesty, just now, I saw Cui Yan touching the bracelet on her hand before delivering wine to Concubine Shu.
.I didn’t think too much about it at first, but now that I think about it, Cuiyan looked a little panicked at that time. I wonder if I thought too much about it.”
The little palace maid named Cuiyan changed her face when she heard this. She turned around and refuted loudly: "Haikui, you are so slanderous!"
"Your Majesty, this servant is just telling the truth to share the worries of Your Majesty and Your Majesty." Cui Yan retorted timidly.
"You're talking nonsense, you are obviously..."
An Fuhai's face darkened and he shouted loudly: "Shut up! In front of His Majesty, you are not allowed to be arrogant!"
"Check his bracelet." Dongfang Chen said in a deep voice with a gloomy face.
Immediately, a nun came forward, took off the bracelet on Cuiyan's hand, and looked at it carefully.
This is a silver bracelet with a very beautiful pattern carved on it, like a long vine wrapped around the bracelet.
Suddenly, the grandma's face changed, and she pressed a small flower on the bracelet hard. The little flower moved, and a small hole opened next to it, and white powder fluttered down. It was unusual in the brightly lit hall.
obvious.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expressions changed. However, no one noticed that next to the throne, Yu Wenjin's face turned as white as snow in an instant.
Dongfang Chen's face turned even colder, "Yi Zhang, look what's in that bracelet?"
Zhang Yuyi received the order, took the bracelet handed over by the old nanny, poured a little powder on a piece of white paper, and after examining it carefully, turned to Dongfang Chen with a solemn face, "Your Majesty, the poison in the wine with Concubine Shu
It’s the same.”
The smile on Yu Wenjin's mouth was a little stiff, and under his sleeves, he clenched his hands tightly.
Dongfang Chen's face suddenly became gloomy, as if water was dripping from his face, and he looked at Cui Yan coldly. Cui Yan was so frightened that she was lying on the ground, and she defended incoherently with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, it really wasn't a slave who did this.
I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything…”
An Fuhai shouted sternly: "That's nonsense. You didn't do it. Why is there such a vicious poison hidden in your bracelet..."
"Bold slave, I have no grievances against you, why do you want to poison me? Tell me, who ordered you?" Yun Xiyao's face was pale, and she looked at Cui Yan with an angry expression.
"I'm not a slave, I'm really not a slave." Cuiyan didn't say anything else, she just kept repeating these two sentences.
"Come here, pull her down and hit her hard! Beat her until she is willing to talk." Dongfang Chen waved his hand and said a little impatiently.
Immediately, a eunuch came up, picked up Cui Yan who was lying on the ground, and walked out.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, you are really not a slave." Cuiyan struggled and cried for mercy.
Next to the throne, Yu Wenjin adjusted his expression, then looked at Yun Xiyao, and said with a hint of concern: "Concubine Shu, how do you feel? Why don't you come with the medicine?"
Yun Xiyao lowered her eyes, covering up the trace of resentment in her eyes, and said with a hint of weakness in her voice: "Thank you, Queen, for caring. I am fine. I am afraid that I will disappoint the person behind the scenes."
