Nine hundred and fortieth chapters eclipse rice (a)
Imperial Room?
Queen Mother Yu's smile suddenly froze at the corner of her mouth, a stern look flashed in her eyes, and her voice became cold and stern unconsciously: "What happened?"
Could it be that Yu Qiao made a mistake?
The palace maid looked frightened and hesitant, and said hesitantly: "I don't know very well. It seems to be related to Yu Qiao..."
Sure enough, something happened to Yu Qiao!
The tense bowstring in Queen Mother Yu's head broke with a buzzing sound, and indescribable disappointment and anger surged up together, mixed with indescribable emotions and anxiety.
The medicine in Yu Qiao's hand must not be exposed to others.
Otherwise, her dignity as the Queen Mother of Da Qi will be completely stripped off and thrown to the ground.
Sheng Hong was keenly aware of something. His eyes passed over Queen Mother Yu's angry face, passed over Yu Yan's ignorant pretty face, and finally landed on the palace maid who came to report: "What is going on? Go and ask.
Be more clear and report it again!"
The palace maid had no choice but to agree, while quietly glancing at Queen Mother Yu.
Obviously, the palace maid knew what was going on and did not dare to say it in front of Sheng Hong.
Empress Dowager Yu's heart sank. She didn't care that Sheng Hong would become suspicious, and said in a deep voice: "Go to the imperial dining room and ask Yuqiao to come back immediately. The Ai family will ask her personally."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Hong continued: "Queen Mother is not feeling well and should not have mood swings. Let Mingxi handle these small matters."
Queen Mother Yu looked a little stiff and her tone was extremely cold: "People around the Ai family have made mistakes, and it should be handled by the Ai family! Don't worry about it, Queen!"
At this time, how could Sheng Hong not notice something strange about Queen Mother Yu?
Sheng Hong thought to himself and said without giving in: "If something happens, I will submit to him. If my mother does not want Yu Qiao to be interrogated and dealt with in the bright light, I will do it for you."
After saying that, he issued a decree in a deep voice: "Whoever comes, go to the imperial kitchen immediately and bring Yu Qiao over. I want to interrogate him personally!"
Eunuch Wei was so smart that he immediately agreed, turned around and went to the imperial dining room.
Queen Mother Yu watched Eunuch Wei leave, feeling increasingly anxious and uneasy. But she couldn't think of any good way to stop it. Besides, she still didn't know what the fuss was about at Yu Qiao, so she had to suppress it.
Stop being anxious and anxious, calm down, and think about countermeasures.
Naturally, Yu Yan didn't know that this matter also implicated herself. She was still young and quite curious, so she couldn't help but look up.
…
Soon, Yu Qiao was brought over.
Also brought along were two maids from the imperial dining room.
Yu Qiao's pretty face was pale, and her whole body was trembling invisibly. The two palace maids each had angry and frightened faces. After entering, they knelt down with a plop and said in unison: "I have something important to report."
Yu Qiao's face turned pale again, and she looked up at Queen Mother Yu, her eyes full of prayer.
Queen Mother Yu's heart suddenly became cold, and she slowly and forcefully grasped the handle of the chair with her right hand.
This Yuqiao!
Incompetent bungler!
Queen Mother Yu had experienced many storms in her life, but she had never encountered such a battle before. For a moment, she was filled with worry and anger.
Sheng Hong had a calm and handsome face, and said coldly: "What is going on? You two come together one by one, and you must not hide a word."
The two palace maids responded in unison, and then looked at each other. One of the older palace maids opened her mouth angrily: "Your Majesty, the servants are in charge of serving meals in the imperial dining room. Miss Yu Qiao came to the imperial dining room in person to bring away a soup.
The slave girl felt very sorry, so she politely declined. But Miss Yuqiao insisted on taking it away in person. The slave girl found it strange, so she became wary and pretended to agree."
Another maid immediately answered the question: "The slave quietly followed Yu Qiao, and found that Yu Qiao stopped at the corner and took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve. I don't know what medicine was put in the porcelain bottle. The slave was shocked and confused.
If you are afraid, say something to stop it immediately."
Yu Qiao was already feeling guilty and uneasy, but when she heard the palace maid's deliberately raised voice, she became even more panicked.
Unfortunately, the medicine bottle was in my hand and I was caught. It was too late to throw it away!
Sheng Hongjun's face was as dark as water, and his eyes were as cold as ice. He glanced at Yu Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground and shivering: "Yu Qiao, do you want to poison the soup to kill me and my mother?"
Yu Qiao's whole body trembled violently and she hurriedly argued: "No, I would never dare to have such an intention."
Sheng Hong asked coldly: "If it's not poison, what is it?"
Yu Qiao's face was pale and her lips moved, not knowing how to answer.
She subconsciously looked at Queen Mother Yu.
At this moment, the only person who can save her is Queen Mother Yu.
Empress Dowager Yu's expression changed, obviously she had not yet made up her mind.
Tampering with the imperial meal is a heinous crime against the emperor! There is only one way to save Yu Qiao. That is to admit that he was the instigator and make it clear that what was put in the medicine bottle is not poison...
But in this way, her reputation as the Queen Mother will be completely lost!
How to choose?
…
Time seems to have stood still.
Queen Mother Yu never opened her mouth.
Yu Qiao's heart felt as if it were in an ice cellar, and her face was drained of blood. Empress Dowager Yu obviously had no intention of saving her. This crime will definitely fall on her...
Would you rather die than admit it?
This is impossible. The pills in that bottle of medicine can be identified by any imperial doctor who is summoned.
In her mind, Zhilan's ferocious and twisted face flashed before her death.
"My slave deserves to die," Yu Qiao's mind was filled with confusion. She didn't even know what she was saying: "My slave deserves to die. That bottle of medicine is just for fun. It will not cause any damage to the emperor's dragon body..."
Sheng Hong had expected it, but after hearing these words, his anger was still high. He stood up suddenly, and a terrifying anger flashed across his handsome face: "What a bold little maid!"
"Where did you get the medicine?"
"Who ordered you to do this?"
Empress Dowager Yu looked extremely ugly.
Yu Yan's reaction was a little slow. She waited for Sheng Hong's words to go through her mind before she understood what was going on. Immediately, Yu Yan's face turned red and her ears were burning. She wanted to find a hole in the ground and get in immediately.
She didn't know half of this.
But now, she has no way to defend herself.
If Yuqiao succeeds in this move and the emperor drinks the soup with medicine added, the person who "benefits" from it will obviously be her...
Yu Yan gritted her teeth and knelt down: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. I ask Your Majesty to take a closer look." She really doesn't know anything!
Sheng Hong snorted coldly and glanced at Yu Yan coldly.
There was contempt and anger in his eyes.
Yu Yan was embarrassed and frightened, and tears fell down her face: "It's not me, it's really not me."
Queen Mother Yu's breathing became rapid, and her face seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds.
At this moment, footsteps sounded from the dining room, and the palace maid's report also sounded: "The Queen is here."
