A thorough investigation of the food and drinks in the palace of the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Hu was not difficult to investigate using the Jingzhao Mansion's investigation method. The matter of the Concubine Hu was over, but the matter of the Concubine Huang was not yet, and it happened that the Concubine Huang had been drinking yesterday evening.
Soup, find out the person who made the soup yesterday and check it out. It will be clear at a glance who has touched the soup.
Following the clues, they naturally found the person of Nanny Lan. Nanny Lan used to serve the Queen. Gu Si originally thought that the person of the Queen would be found. However, after several interrogations, Nanny Lan couldn't resist the torture and confessed that it was Concubine Qin who ordered it.
of.
Aunt Lan cried and said: "It was Concubine Qin who asked the old slave to add mallow leaves to Concubine Hu's soup, but the slave only added it twice. Before, it was Aunt Yu who added it. It's okay, Aunt Yu."
Concubine Qin has thousands of taels of silver. It took more than a month to add mallow leaves to the soup, which caused the concubine to miscarry. It has nothing to do with the old slave. The old slave just didn't add the last two times, so did the concubine.
It can’t be saved.”
Aunt Yu was originally sent by Concubine Hu's family, but she didn't expect that she would help Concubine Qin harm Concubine Hu. This was really shocking. Gu Si grabbed Aunt Lan and brought her to Yu Wenhao, saying: "
I did it, saying it was ordered by Concubine Qin."
Yu Wenhao immediately reported it to Emperor Ming Yuan. Emperor Ming Yuan was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that these two things were done by someone, and he couldn't believe that Concubine Qin would do such a thing.
But then, he became furious and strode out, "Send Concubine Qin to the imperial study!"
Concubine Qin was taken to the imperial study room late at night. Ever since the news came out from the Changmen Palace that the imperial concubine was about to give birth, she had not slept and had been waiting for the news to come from there.
But she waited until the news came that the emperor had urgently summoned her.
She was panicked for a moment, but then she adjusted her expression and followed Eunuch Mu Ru to the imperial study room.
Yu Wenhao had always been with Emperor Ming Yuan in the royal study. He had rarely seen his father so angry. He was so angry that he could not control the muscles on his face. He was twitching and the veins on his forehead were thick and thick. His whole person was cold and terrifying.
Concubine Qin was brought in. She was still thinking of getting lucky, but when she saw Emperor Ming Yuan's face, she felt frightened, her legs went weak, and she knelt down.
After a few words of denial, Concubine Qin couldn't withstand Emperor Ming Yuan's furious questioning. Concubine Qin finally collapsed on the ground and confessed truthfully.
She was trembling all over, crying, but she looked at Emperor Ming Yuan with a smile, "Why? Why can they still live after my son is dead? I have nothing, my son is gone, and the emperor will not come. I have no hope every day."
, why can they still be so proud?"
Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily: "You are such a snake-hearted woman. It is his own fault that Yu Wenjun ended up like this. No one harmed him. Why do you want to harm others to express your dissatisfaction? You are a snake-hearted woman. It is not enough for you to harm Concubine Hu's child."
, and you also want to deliver soup to the imperial concubine in my name, harming her unborn child. When something happened to Yu Wenjun, the imperial concubine helped you a lot. You really repaid kindness with hatred, you are worse than a pig or a dog!"
Concubine Qin cried and said: "Concubine Hu deserves to die. How many people in the harem have been missed by Concubine Hu entering the palace? The imperial concubine should have been childless. She should have lived alone like the concubine, but she was pregnant. In the past
There is no leakage in her palace, I can't help it... But she went to the Nagato Palace. I have this opportunity, why don't I seize it? She should be like me, the emperor, the imperial concubine should be like me, we all
You shouldn’t die with a son.”
She cried miserably, as if she was the victim. Such twisted thoughts were actually not surprising to Yu Wenhao, because a large part of Yu Wenjun's temperament was distorted by Concubine Qin. Naturally, his father also had it.
The emperor's arrogance, from the time Concubine Qin proposed to the Concubine Huang to choose a concubine for the Emperor, he knew that Concubine Qin was not willing to be lonely. Whenever she was unwilling in her heart, she would always find a way to do something.
It was just that it was inconvenient for him to ask about the affairs of the harem, let alone target Concubine Qin based on speculation.
Concubine Qin cried and said: "She is stupid. I originally...I didn't want to harm her. I thought that since she was angry with the emperor, she would not drink the soup I sent in the name of the emperor."
, If she doesn’t drink, then I...I feel at ease. I have done something, but she is lucky, right? I just can’t control myself. I can’t be so miserable alone. Your Majesty, you came to see me before,
Even if she stays with me for a little longer, I won't attack her. I have no hope. When I look at the way you look at me, I know that I have no hope..."
Concubine Qin was crying extremely ugly, with tears and runny nose running down her face. Her pale and swollen face had spots exposed due to the lack of makeup. Her eyes were blue and swollen, and her eyes and nose were red to the color of brick and mud, mixed with a lot of white.
The bun of her hair was loose, and at first glance, she looked like an old woman in her twilight years. Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her with anger and sadness. This woman had been with him for more than thirty years and gave birth to his eldest son.
But now, why is it like this?
He felt a great pain in his heart, remembering the many times he had indulged their mother and son, but every time it led to tragedy, killing innocent people, even Yu Wenjun, concubine Qin and his relatives became ruthless.
It was also at this moment that he truly realized how much trouble would be caused when an emperor indulged and favored a prince too much. Even though he had understood the actions of the Supreme Emperor and Prince Anfeng before, in fact, he still subconsciously
He thought they were making a fuss out of a molehill, but now, he really realized it.
And all this could have been avoided.
Thinking of Concubine Hu's baby boy who died in the womb, and thinking that the life and death of the imperial concubine and the child were now uncertain, he was filled with hatred and pain. He coldly ordered, "Take him down and live in the cold palace temporarily. After the imperial concubine gives birth safely, give him poisoned wine."
, keep the whole body!”
"No..." Concubine Qin let out a fierce cry, stood up suddenly and rushed towards Emperor Ming Yuan, "You can't do this, you can't do this, you can't kill my concubine, you can't..."
Eunuch Mu Ru quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Mother, please don't be so presumptuous!"
Concubine Qin hit Eunuch Mu Ru hard and shouted angrily, "You can't kill me, you can't kill me. I am the mother of your eldest son. You can't do this. I just don't want to do it. So you continue to ignore me, ground me, and ignore me."
You don’t have to look at me...you can’t kill me.”
Emperor Ming Yuan's heart was completely cold. He was ignored, grounded, and ignored. This was how he dealt with those who made mistakes. They all knew that even if it cost human lives, it was just neglect and grounding. How could they be afraid?
With great regret and pain in his heart, he sighed deeply, his eyes full of sorrow, "I, how wrong I was? I really know."
Concubine Qin was dragged down, and her roaring voice echoed through the night sky. The entire palace seemed to be overturned by her roar. It sounded tragic, but why was it just her?
Yu Wenhao stepped forward and said softly: "Father, calm down!"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Yu Wenhao for a long time. He smiled palely and said, "If I ordered someone to deliver soup to the imperial concubine, Concubine Qin's plot would not succeed. I didn't order someone to deliver it to her. What she drank would
The soup, she thought it was from me, but it was actually the soup that cost her her life."
Yu Wenhao's heart ached slightly, "Father, let's go to the Changmen Palace to guard the emperor's mother and concubine. It's useless to talk about the past!"
