Not only Que'er, but Yun Xi also fell to the ground.
"Dead?" Prince Jing frowned, leaned down and checked on the two palace maids, confirming that they had died, checked again, then pulled out two silver needles from the backs of their necks, and said with a smile.
, "This needle is poisonous, but this method is really clumsy, framing the blame, and then killing people to silence them?"
The queen narrowed her eyes but did not speak. Yun Shang's eyes swept across her face lightly and said with a smile, "Just now, the palace maid was clearly going to point out the real murderer, but she was killed. From the position of this poisonous needle,
Let's see, the murderer must be behind Que'er and Yunxi. Looking at it this way, the scope has been reduced a lot."
No one spoke in the palace, but when the people in the palace were in a stalemate, suddenly a eunuch hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, the Changchun Palace has been stolen, and the queen's seal is missing."
Emperor Ning raised his eyes, with a storm brewing in his eyes, "Seal the palace and search them one by one."
"It's like one wave after another. In this case, please help me, father, to take care of the people behind Que'er and Yunxi. The Queen's seal is important. I'll go and see how Miss Li is doing.
." Yun Shang's eyes swept over everyone, turned around and walked towards the door.
"You can't leave. You are still the biggest suspect here, but you want to see cousin Yingying. What's your motive?" Hua Jing's voice came from behind. Yun Shang turned her head to look at Hua Jing, who had a sinister look on her face.
He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "Princess Huajing, how about we come together?"
Hua Jing gritted her teeth and said with a smile, "Of course we want to be together. Yingying is my princess's cousin. Naturally, I should care about her." After saying that, he passed Yun Shang's body and went straight to the side hall.
Go.
As soon as he reached the door, he was bumped into by a chamberlain who rushed over. Hua Jing shook his body violently, but subconsciously, he protected his abdomen. Others did not notice Hua Jing's movements, but they just
It fell into Yun Shang's eyes.
"How do you walk?" Hua Jing scolded angrily.
The chamberlain quickly supported Hua Jing. After Hua Jing stood firm, he knelt down and said, "Princess, please forgive me. Princess, please forgive me."
Hua Jing gritted his teeth. This was in the palace. Although he was extremely angry, he could only hold back, "It's okay, get up." After saying that, he walked towards the side hall.
Yun Chang lowered his head and said, "Since Sister Huang has gone to visit, Chang'er will go there later." There was a bit of grievance in his eyebrows.
Everyone just saw it clearly. It was already obvious that Princess Yunshang was framed, but Princess Huajing looked aggressive. She seemed to dislike Princess Yunshang. Thinking that Princess Yunshang was only born from a concubine,
Although Concubine Jin received all kinds of favors, to put it bluntly, she was only a concubine and a concubine. Even in the homes of ordinary people, she was still very humble, let alone in a particularly complicated palace.
Emperor Ning was slightly touched in his heart. He lowered his head and glanced at Concubine Jin, only to see that Concubine Jin seemed to have a sad look on her face. Her eyes kept falling on Yun Shang. Emperor Ning became even more unhappy with Hua Jing and said:
Children are the flesh that has fallen off the mother's body. Although Concubine Jin has little contact with Chang'er, mother and son are close to each other. Seeing her daughter being so wronged, Concubine Jin must have been very sad.
A group of palace maids and chamberlains walked in from outside and walked to the palace to salute Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning nodded and said, "The queen's seal has been lost. I'm afraid someone did it deliberately and wanted to use the opportunity to visit the families of the ministers in the palace tonight."
I took the chance back and forth and quietly took the Queen's seal out of the palace. If the Queen's seal is lost, the consequences will be disastrous, so please cooperate with the search."
Everyone did not dare to say anything, so they followed the maids or chamberlains one by one to the side hall. Everyone in the hall checked one by one, but no Queen's seal was found.
At this moment, Hua Jing walked in.
"Jing'er, go and search yourself too." Emperor Ning looked at Hua Jing calmly.
Hua Jing frowned, "Father, what did Jing'er do with the queen's seal? Just search her and forget about it."
Emperor Ning frowned slightly, "Everyone in this palace, including Chang'er and Prince Jing, has been searched, and you are no exception. Go ahead."
Hua Jing bit his lip, but he also knew that if he said anything more, he would definitely arouse Emperor Ning's resentment. Hua Jing raised his hand and touched his belly. Fortunately, it was not very obvious. Thinking like this, Hua Jing
Then he followed a palace maid into the side hall.
After a while, the palace maid hurried over and said, "Reporting to the emperor, I did not find the queen's seal on Princess Huajing, but I saw this on the princess's sleeve."
In the hand of the palace maid, there was a small blue jade bottle. Emperor Ning's eyes were a little deeper and he said, "Tell the imperial doctor to see what is in this bottle."
The queen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her eyes fell on the cyan vial, "It's just some ordinary medicine, I just take it with me every day to prevent some accidents."
There was a bit of sarcasm in Yun Shang's eyes. Yes, many ladies and gentlemen in the family are accustomed to bringing some ordinary medicine bottles when they go out, just in case. However, it is unusual for this thing to appear on Hua Jing now.
One is because these medicine bottles are usually carried by maids and servants, and the other is because this is in the palace. When you go to the palace for a banquet, you will be strictly inspected when entering the palace. Such things are absolutely unacceptable.
Probably brought into the palace.
It's just that the queen probably hasn't been in the palace for a long time, so she doesn't understand such simple truths.
Before the imperial doctor came from the side hall, Hua Jing ran in, looking a little anxious, "Father, Emperor, Mother, this thing does not belong to me at all, and I don't know why it appeared in my sleeve.
, the father, the emperor and the queen must make decisions for their children..."
"Sister Huang, this palace is heavily guarded. Is there anyone who can put such a bottle in your sleeve without anyone noticing? This is too scary." Yun Shang exclaimed, her eyes full of tears.
of surprise.
The imperial doctor came in a hurry, took the vial from the hand of the palace maid, examined it carefully for a long time, and then said, "Your Majesty, this vial contains poison, the poison that Miss Li was poisoned by."
Hua Jing's face suddenly turned pale. She turned her head to look at Queen Yuanzhen and said, "Mother, someone framed me, and I was wronged..."
"Mother, I believe you." The queen gritted her teeth, her heart filled with astonishment. Why, why was that bottle on Jing'er's body? It should obviously be...
"Queen, this is a bit unfair. Just now, a little maid said that Princess Yunshang's maid had been to the Cangzhen Pavilion. Everyone insisted that it was Princess Yunshang who poisoned her. Now this person is pretending to be poisonous.
The bottle was found from Princess Huajing's body, so why does the Queen feel that someone is framing Princess Huajing?" There was a bit of sarcasm in Prince Jing's eyes, and the words fell on everyone's ears, but they were
Another meaning.
"Report..." Another guard ran in, "Report to the Emperor, when the subordinates were searching the palace, they saw an eunuch probing near Meiying Pavilion. He was very suspicious, so he was taken for interrogation. This is who
The chamberlain's confession..." A piece of parchment lay quietly in the guard's hand.
Meiying Pavilion, this name appeared more than once or twice tonight. Everyone's eyes fell on the parchment, wondering what it was?
"Send it up." Emperor Ning said coldly.
Manager Zheng quickly walked down from the top, took the parchment from the guard, and presented it to Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning unfolded the parchment and took a rough look at it. Veins popped out on his forehead, and anger gathered in his eyes:
"Someone, bring up the chamberlain."
Two guards outside the palace dragged a chamberlain in. It seemed that he had been tortured. There was blood on the fingertips of the chamberlain's body.
"Say what you just said again." Emperor Ning's eyes were so cold that the servant shuddered and his body fell to the ground, trembling slightly.
"The servant said, the servant said, the servant is the eunuch who is responsible for cleaning Meiying Pavilion. The snow stopped this afternoon. The servant was a little tired from sweeping the snow, so he took a lazy moment and sat under a tree outside Meiying Pavilion.
She took a nap for a while, but was woken up by a sound. The servant heard that a woman ordered someone to put poison on the piano. She also said that she would send someone to find a way to get the maid next to Princess Yunshang to come to Zangzhen Pavilion.
Once, let them bite the bullet and say that it was the medicine given by Princess Yunshang's maid. Then the sound stopped, and the servant was thinking of leaving quietly, but he heard footsteps again, and the servant was afraid and did not dare to leave, and then
After hearing the woman's instructions, when taking the lottery tickets for Miss Li, she changed all the lottery tickets into pipa. If anyone inquired, they would say that Princess Yunshang sent a maid to give the instructions. The servant only heard this much..." Then
The chamberlain hurriedly kowtowed several times, "When I heard this, I was afraid that someone would take revenge on me, so I never dared to say anything."
Emperor Ning was furious and slammed the table, "On the contrary, there is such a vicious person in this palace. Have you seen that person's appearance?"
The servant shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't see it, but I could vaguely see the woman wearing a cyan skirt with white pear blossoms embroidered on the skirt... I heard that a palace maid called the woman, princess..."
Princess... In this Ning country, there are only two princesses, Hua Jing and Yun Shang. Yun Shang will definitely not blame herself. So, there is only one possibility left...
Everyone's eyes fell on Hua Jing, who looked a little pale. Qing Yi... looked at the hem of her skirt and saw that it was indeed embroidered with white pear blossoms.
"Haha..." The only person who dared to laugh at this time was none other than Prince Jing. He said, "Prime Minister Li, the murderer of your granddaughter is now obvious. Princess Huajing is really brave.
You are planning to use your cousin as a bait to blame your own imperial sister, who is worthy of being the queen’s daughter.”
The meaning of these words is really strong, but at this time, no one pays attention to it. Many people can't help but feel a little shocked. Isn't Princess Hua Jing always respected by others for her talent and kindness? No one thought
, Beneath that beautiful and gentle face, there is such a vicious thought hidden.
"This is clearly a frame-up. This princess has never done any of these things. I don't know why this medicine bottle is in my sleeve. By the way, it must be the eunuch just now. It must be the eunuch who stuffed this bottle into my sleeve.
It's in the princess' sleeve." Hua Jing shouted loudly, her face distorted by anger and became a little ugly.
Emperor Ning frowned and said, "How dignified is this? Come, please escort the princess away and hand her over to Dali Temple."
When Hua Jing heard this, she became even more anxious, "Father, my son is wronged. Mother, please say something to me..."
Yun Shang saw that the queen's hand on the table was slightly clenched, and her long nails dug deeply into the flesh. Yun Shang slightly raised the corners of her mouth, feeling heartbroken by this? This was just the beginning...
"Your Majesty, the Queen's seal has been found." The person who came was a chamberlain from Concubine Ming's palace. Emperor Ning smiled coldly, "It's good that I found it."
After saying that, he turned his eyes again, glanced back and forth between Prime Minister Li and the crowd, and then softly asked the imperial physician standing aside, "Is Miss Li okay?"
The imperial doctor responded quickly, "Wei Chen has given Miss Li the antidote pill. Judging from Miss Li's condition, she should be fine."
Emperor Ning nodded, "Everyone is frightened today, so let's disperse first." After saying that, he stood up first, stepped off the dragon chair, and stopped in front of Concubine Jin, "You are inconvenienced.
, I will accompany you back to the palace."
Concubine Jin nodded meekly, stood up, and walked to Emperor Ning. Emperor Ning put his arms around Concubine Jin and walked out of the Golden Palace with her.
The queen who was sitting high up looked even paler, stood up suddenly, and hurriedly left the Golden Palace.
"Farewell to the Emperor, Farewell to the Queen..." Everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
After the most important people left, Prince Jing walked up to Yun Chang and said with a smile, "Shang'er was frightened today, let me give you a ride."
The eyes of everyone who were still in the palace fell on Prince Jing and Yun Shang. Prince Jing actually smiled? Everyone was shocked and thought, could it be that Prince Jing really likes Princess Yun Shang? What if Princess Yun Shang has a child?
With Prince Jing as his backing, the emperor also loved Concubine Jin very much. Moreover, Concubine Jin is still pregnant, so some things really need to be reconsidered...
Yun Shang didn't bother to guess what everyone was thinking. She also had something in her mind that she wanted to ask Prince Jing, so she didn't refuse and walked out towards the Jinluan Palace.
Qin Yi quickly took the cloak and was about to put it on Yun Shang, but was taken over by Prince Jing. Prince Jing unfolded the cloak and put it on Yun Shang gently and softly, "It's cold outside, tie the cloak first.
You are weak, don't catch a cold."
Yun Shang paused, raised her hand, tied the cloak casually, turned around and walked out of the gate of Jinluan Palace.
The snow had stopped. Not far from the Jinluan Palace, there was silence. Only the sound of footsteps could be heard quietly. Yun Shang collected her thoughts before speaking, "Uncle Huang's movements are quite fast, but I don't know.
What method did your uncle use to get your father to agree to marry you?"
Prince Jing's low laughter came from beside him, "Marriage for me? For us... Chang'er is really smart. For this imperial edict of marriage, I handed over the military talisman."
Soldier talisman? Yun Shang paused. Yun Shang knew that this military talisman could mobilize nearly 500,000 troops from the Ning Kingdom. The late emperor divided the military talisman into two, and gave half to his father and half to King Jing. Since King Jing had gone through so much hardship,
The fact that he wants to get rid of the child in the concubine's belly shows that he covets the throne. How could a person with such thoughts be willing to hand over something as important as a military talisman?
Yun Shang narrowed his eyes, "Why did the emperor do this?"
Prince Jing curled up his lips, "I thought I had made it clear enough when we were in the camp. I am happy with you, and for you, I am willing to give up this country. Has Chang'er ever been so moved?"
When Yun Shang heard this, she laughed softly. The laughter got louder and louder, and she stopped after a while, "Uncle Huang, this is the best joke Chang'er has ever heard."
Yun Shang turned around and looked at the people around her, "Originally, when the emperor's uncle said those words to me in the camp, I still believed it a little, but when the marriage decree came out, I didn't believe it at all.
.”
"Oh? Why?" Prince Jing also stopped and turned around to look at the woman who was a head closer than him.
"No matter how confident Chang'er is, he still knows that my weight is definitely not comparable to that heavy military talisman. The emperor's uncle has been planning for that position for more than ten years, and the emperor's uncle and Chang'er have known each other for only a few short years.
Yun, in just a few short months, the emperor's uncle has taken great care of Chang'er, and is even willing to give up his high position for Chang'er. In this case, the emperor's uncle should keep it to coax others." Yun Chang finished his words.
, smiled, turned around and walked towards Qingxin Palace. Prince Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not follow. When Qinyi and Qianyin hurriedly followed him, and walked farther and farther, Prince Jing laughed.
The voice came.
"Sure enough, I'm still under suspicion."
Wang Shun stretched his neck and looked at it for a long time. When the figure was no longer in sight, he whispered, "Your Majesty, this Princess Yunshang seems to be unwilling to take the hard way. She is too difficult to deal with. Why do you insist on marrying her? That is a military talisman.
Ah, if the prince doesn’t have the military talisman, he really has nothing. My prince, you are confused..."
"Soldier talisman?" Prince Jing twitched his lips slightly, "If I can give it away, I can get it back."
"But..." Wang Shun sighed, "Why does the prince insist on Princess Yunshang? There are many people in the court who are against Prime Minister Li, such as Mr. Qin Taiwei. His young lady has just reached hairpins and is getting married.
If Lord Taiwei is brought under his command, the prince's journey will be much easier..."
Prince Jing smiled coldly, "Would you like to travel less? If I marry Taiwei Qin, then the Emperor will definitely pay attention to and be wary of everything. I am already under his suspicion, so it will be even more difficult for the Emperor to move forward."
After my brother came to the throne, in the past twenty years, I have led troops to fight outside for eighteen years. No matter how carefully the imperial city is deployed, I can't even enter the imperial city, so what great cause is there? I hold the military talisman.
What's the use of it? Half a piece of military talisman can't do anything. It's better to give it to him to make him feel more at ease. Marry his daughter again. Without the influence of in-laws, he will feel more at ease, and I can take the opportunity to stay.
In the imperial city..."
"But why not choose Princess Hua Jing? She is much easier to control than Princess Yunshang..." Wang Shun suddenly heard Prince Jing's strategy, and his heart was full of admiration, but he had some doubts.
Prince Jing curled his lips coldly, "Hua Jing is indeed much stupider than Yun Shang, but she is the queen's daughter and Prime Minister Li's niece..." (To be continued)
