Zhu Wenyu gave the order, and the guard who had taken away his sword immediately stopped Hu Qiuyan and controlled her. That is to say, she was a noble concubine, and if she were an ordinary mistress, the guard would have kicked her to the ground.
The surrounding guards drew their swords as a deterrent.
In fact, there was no need for them to intimidate her. Hu Qiuyan was already scared out of his wits and no longer dared to act up and cause trouble. He had heard the emperor's words of "take down the poisonous woman" many times in recent years, and the concubine who was scolded as a poisonous woman was not
Being executed means being relegated to the cold palace, and life is worse than death.
Cold sweat ran down her forehead, and she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and her expression was full of aggrievedness and fear.
"Your Majesty, there are many doubts about this matter, and the evidence is insufficient. You must make a careful decision."
Hu Yidao still maintained it.
"A lot of doubts?
Mr. Hu’s words are quite appropriate, your daughter is full of doubts!"
Zhu Wenyu sneered: "As for the evidence, what kind of evidence do you want? The imperial doctor checked the poison and found that except for the poison in the crown prince's cup, there was no poison anywhere. The juice was delivered to the crown princess by your daughter, except that she poisoned it.
Who else could it be?”
After all, this Hu Yidao still wanted to defend the poisonous woman. When he thought about how disrespectful he was to Concubine Xi before the banquet, he didn't realize that he was passionate about his daughter. He only thought that he had too much power, so he didn't put himself in the situation.
In my eyes.
"There is currently no physical evidence. If the emperor directly believes that Concubine Hua is the one who poisoned me, I will not accept it, and neither will the nine regiments under my command!"
Hu Yidao said loudly, if his daughter was brought down, it would be a huge blow to the Hu family. He would definitely protect her to the end. He also knew that saying this would make the emperor and the queen mother dissatisfied, but he had to
Say, there is no choice.
When Zhu Wenyu heard this, his face darkened and his anger rose: "Shuai Hu, are you threatening the emperor with your military power?"
Hu Yidao replied: "I don't dare, I just remind the emperor to be careful. After all, Concubine Hua is my daughter and the young master of the Nine Great Regiments. Without ironclad proof, it is really difficult to convince the public!"
"you!"
Zhu Wenyu Longyan was furious and stood up directly.
All civil and military officials in the court, including the concubines and concubines of the palace, all kept silent when they saw this, and did not even dare to express their anger.
"Your Majesty, please sit down.
It is reasonable for Mr. Hu to want evidence!"
At this time, Duanmu Shujie said, "Ordinary people commit crimes, and the yamen must investigate clearly and present evidence to convince the suspect. I also think this matter is somewhat suspicious. Concubine Hua has never left Baohe Palace.
Even if she administered poison, where is the remaining poison and where is the device used to contain the poison?
I was watching just now, and the doctor in charge of the trash can also checked it!"
She said this to show off Zhu Wenyu, and at the same time, she did feel strange about this matter.
"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true. Please ask the Elder to make the decision for me!"
Hu Yidao handed over his hand.
"Queen Mother, I was really wronged, so why can't I eat the original poison?
I can cooperate with the body search and let everyone see if I have any drugs hidden on me!"
Hu Qiuyan also followed closely.
Duanmu Shujie glanced at her and said nothing. Although she felt strange, she still doubted Concubine Hua. Zhu Wenyu also said nothing. Without evidence, it seems that this vicious woman cannot be dealt with today.
The civil and military officials glanced at the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and then couldn't help but started discussing in a low voice.
"Your Excellency, look at this situation, there are still flaws in what Li Yang did in this game. Concubine Hua is protected by Marshal Hu, so her downfall is unrealistic!"
Liu Pengfei turned around and said.
"You'd better tell Li Yang less. Concubine Hua's crime of poisoning and murdering the emperor's heir cannot be washed away. Just wait and see!"
Qiu Yutang said firmly.
"Uh, but the Queen Mother seems to be somewhat protective?"
Liu Pengfei said again.
"You also don't understand the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is more decisive than the Emperor. But there is no real evidence yet. Once there is evidence, the Queen Mother will not care about Mr. Hu and his nine groups!"
Qiu Yutang sneered.
Decades ago, the Queen Mother boarded a plane to protect the emperor and killed four ministers. Those four controlled all the power of the six ministries and all the military power. Although Hu Yidao had power over the government and the opposition, he held the control of the nine major stations.
It has a military power of one million, but it is still far behind the four auxiliary ministers of the year.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, since Concubine Hua is willing to cooperate with the body search, let's search her to see if it's not poisonous so that she can be innocent."
Hu Yidao suddenly said.
"If she had poison on her body, would she still be demanding a search?"
Zhu Wenyu said angrily.
"I think it's okay. Go search for the wall shirt yourself. Be sure to search carefully!"
Duanmu Shujie spoke slowly, "If no poison can be found, Concubine Hua can return to the palace first, and the case will be handed over to Dali Temple for thorough investigation.
"Dali Temple is higher than the Ministry of Justice and is the highest judicial institution in Tianwu Continent.
The old nanny standing next to the Queen Mother was Bi Shan. After Bi Shan received the order, she immediately walked down: "Hua Fei, I'm offended."
"It's okay, it's okay, mama, just search. I am innocent and I am not afraid of searching."
Hu Qiuyan stood up and glanced at Concubine Xi next to her. It would not be easy to harm her. The clothes she wore were worn by herself and had not passed through the hands of the traitor Xiaoxiao, so they could not be poisonous.
She raised her hands, very cooperative.
Wear the shirt carefully from top to bottom, front to back, without missing anything.
"Queen Mother, Concubine Hua has nothing on her."
Bi Shi was reinstated according to the truth.
When the Hu family's father and daughter heard this, their expressions relaxed. All the civil and military officials, as well as the concubines and concubines, all felt that Concubine Hua was fine for the time being.
"Then leave it to Dali Temple..." Before Duanmu Shujie could say anything, someone stepped forward and it turned out to be an imperial doctor.
"Queen Mother, wait a minute, Wei Chen likes to read history books. According to historical records, when concubines of the previous dynasty poisoned themselves, the poison was hidden in their nails. I hope the Queen Mother will allow Wei Chen to try it with a silver needle!"
This imperial doctor's name is Liu Tian.
Liu Tian belongs to the Sun and Moon Sect and is also an important member of the plan.
"You, an imperial physician, don't care about medical skills, but you have read historical records. There is nothing wrong with Concubine Hua, so stand down!"
Hu Yidao said angrily.
"Shuai Hu, let the imperial doctor try it. It won't be too much trouble."
Duanmu Shujie is indeed promised.
Hu Yidao could only shut up and watch coldly.
Concubine Hua didn't pay attention. When Liu Tian came forward, she stretched out her hands for inspection.
The silver needle checked for poison one finger after another, and there was nothing wrong with the left hand. But when the ring finger of the right hand was checked, everyone in the hall changed their colors.
"Hey, the silver needle has changed color and the nails are poisonous!"
"Concubine Hua really did it!"
"Thanks to this imperial doctor, otherwise I would have been fooled by this woman!"
The ministers were afraid of offending Hu Yidao and kept silent, but the young masters of the palaces really didn't care and talked about it one after another.
When Hu Qiuyan heard this, she lowered her head and looked down. Her face changed drastically in an instant. Next to her, Hu Yidao looked livid and extremely embarrassed.
"This is impossible, this is completely impossible!"
Hu Qiuyan roared in surprise, hoarse at the top of her lungs.
Li Yang couldn't help laughing at the side, Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua, nothing is impossible. Even if you are full of mouth today, I will make you unable to defend yourself.
