Only the queen's face turned from red to white, from white to green, and then from green to black and red.
"Impossible! How could there be such a corrosive poison in this? Absolutely impossible!"
Xu Huizhen denied it sternly. Then she looked at Mo Zihan who was crying and said fiercely: "You Mo Zihan, how dare you hide behind me?"
Xu Huizhen's words made Mo Zihan stunned, and she looked at Yuchi Haotian pitifully. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you were closest to me just now. You can see most clearly whether I have done anything in the tea."
"Queen! You are so courageous! You failed in your attempt to kill the imperial concubine, but you actually wanted to frame her for the fault! I can clearly see the tea. The imperial concubine has never touched it at all. In order to reverse the situation for you, she even deliberately put the teacup in the cup.
Break it into pieces. Not only do you not know what is good or bad, you dare to bite me back. What crime do you deserve?"
"Your Majesty!" Xu Huizhen also knelt down aggrievedly. "Why would I do such a thing? If the imperial concubine drank such a corrosive poison, she would be killed on the spot. How could I break away from the relationship? Why would I do this?
Are you going to shoot yourself in the foot?"
"Then why did you not let me drink the cup of tea that I wanted to drink just now? Why did you refuse to drink this cup of tea when I asked you to drink it? You were pale and so nervous at the time. What were you afraid of?"
"I...I..." Xu Huizhen didn't know how to answer for a moment.
It was true that she put poison in the tea, but the poison was not corrosive at all, and in order to get rid of the relationship, the poison she added would kill the person after a month. Now the tea that fell on the ground has obviously been re-used.
Having been poisoned, Mo Zihan really didn't have time to poison her in such a short period of time, so who wanted to poison Mo Zihan? Or did he want to frame her?
"Your Majesty, someone must be trying to frame me and my concubine. Your Majesty knows this!"
"Come here! Put the queen into the sky prison and interrogate her immediately."
"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Xu Huizhen never imagined that she would fall on Mo Zihan and be so unjustly accused.
"Your Majesty." Mo Zihan stopped the guards who were about to step forward, pulled Yuchi Haotian aside, and whispered: "Now Prime Minister Xu has many factions in the court. If you put the queen in the sky prison, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court.
.This matter is indeed suspicious. It is better to ground the queen first, block the news, and then slowly investigate and wait for the matter to come to light before dealing with it."
Looking at Mo Zihan, Yuchi Haotian said happily: "Han'er is still thoughtful."
The bustling Huayang City fell into silence, with the occasional watcher walking through the streets.
Even the most lively Flower Street on weekdays only occasionally saw one or two drunk people walking out. As soon as they left the brothel, they were helped into carriages and left quietly.
A large black cloud slid past, completely blocking the silver that was shining on the earth.
The Huayang City Prefect's Mansion is located on a busy street, but there are no other buildings nearby, because the Huayang Prefect does not like too many buildings next to his mansion, which would make the number of people coming and going too complicated.
The second watch had just knocked, and the bellman was standing outside the door with his head down and dozing off.
Ten black shadows flashed through the air. One of them flew to the main entrance of the Prefect's Mansion, knocked down the two doormen, and dragged them to a hiding place. Then he followed the other three men in black and jumped to the top of the wall, guarding the four walls in the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively.
