"My younger brother suddenly became ill after eating snacks given by Er Chen." Dugu Nian's face was pale, crying, and he was so frightened that he was confused: "Son, Er Chen didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't do it on purpose..."
After talking about it, Dugu Nian couldn't help crying.
Mu Ci squatted in front of Dugu Nian and said softly: "Mother knows you didn't mean it. Yu'er will be fine and will get better after the poison is detoxified. So who gave you these snacks, do you still remember?"
Dugu Nian was already frightened. He thought about it carefully, but he still couldn't remember who gave him the snack.
It seemed that a plate of snacks suddenly appeared in the place where he and Yu'er were playing. When Yu'er saw that she wanted to eat, he didn't think too much about it, so he just took a piece to Yu'er.
But unexpectedly, Yu'er suddenly fainted from poison as soon as she ate the snack.
He told all the details he remembered, but he couldn't remember who put the snacks there. Maybe there were snacks there early in the morning.
Seeing that Mu Ci couldn't ask any more questions, he didn't continue.
At this time, Doctor Zhang gave the crown prince an injection and released the poisonous blood. After that, he gave the child Jiedu pills, and the child's lip color gradually returned to normal.
Mu Ci's whole mind was on her child. When she noticed something strange behind her, that person turned around and was about to leave. It was Dugu Liancheng.
She took a step closer and shouted at his back: "Your Majesty——"
I don’t know when Dugu Liancheng arrived, nor how long I stood or watched.
She remembered what he said on the day he left the palace. He said that if they were destined to be married in the previous life, he would definitely be happy with her in the previous life.
She always kept these words in mind, and she also had many doubts about her past life that she needed to solve for her.
But after he returned to the palace, he did not want to see her.
"The matter of the prince's poisoning will be left to the queen for thorough investigation!" After Dugu Liancheng finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.
Mu Ci looked at his retreating figure, feeling as if he was petrified.
What happened to him? Why didn't he tell her clearly that something happened to him? Isn't she the person closest to him?
"Empress, His Royal Highness is awake." Sizhu's voice sounded behind Mu Ci.
Mu Ci cheered up and went to Yu'er's side.
Yu'er didn't know what happened yet, but when she saw Mu Ci, she immediately threw herself into her arms and called her "Mother" softly and softly.
Even though he was born into the royal family, Mu Ci taught him not to call her mother, but mother.
She hopes to give her children the warmth and affection of an ordinary family, rather than the various rules of the royal family.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Ci pushed away the child in his arms and asked softly.
Xiao Yuer shook her head and hugged her without letting go: "Mom, Xiangxiang..."
The child is not very fluent in speech yet and can only use simple words and sentences to express his love for his mother.
Mu Ci could only look at Dr. Zhang: "Master Zhang, has Yu'er's poison been completely cured?"
"His Royal Highness is no longer seriously injured. Just now, the official found the same poison in the snacks. The problem lies in the snacks." Dr. Zhang replied.
Mu Ci nodded slightly: "Thank you, sir."
She called all the palace servants who had previously served Yu'er and Dugu Nian over and asked them one by one.
The result of the inquiry was that no one knew when the snacks were placed. Children are very curious and can't help but stuff food into their mouths when they see it. This poisoner actually figured out the child's behavior.
thought.
"If you think about it carefully, has anyone gotten in among you during this period?" Mu Ci asked softly.
Several of the chamberlains shook their heads, and the palace officials said they didn't pay attention.
When asked about Jirou, Jirou was silent for a while before looking at the palace and chamberlain present.
"I remembered it. There was a palace servant wearing a green dress who was not among them. That person must be the person who poisoned me. It's all my fault. I only paid attention to the two highnesses at that time and didn't look carefully at the palace servant's face.
." The more Ji Rou said, the more she regretted it.
She also caught a glimpse of such a palace lady out of the corner of her eye, but she disappeared later, which meant that she was a palace lady who sneaked in at that time.
"Don't you just wear a green palace dress to welcome the spring?" Qi Luo suddenly pointed at the spring and said loudly.
Mu Ci looked at Yingchun and saw that Yingchun was wearing a green dress.
"Yingchun has never left my side!" Mu Ci looked at Qi Luo coldly.
Qi Luo raised his lips with a half-smile: "Of course the queen protects her own people, but among all the palace maids present, only Yingchun was wearing a green palace dress. Isn't it just the people around the queen who murdered His Highness the Crown Prince, but instead put the blame on the eldest prince?
?The Queen’s move is really poisonous!”
At this time, a woman suddenly stood up and said: "Just now, the folk woman has not seen the Spring Festival girl for a quarter of an hour."
Mu Ci looked at this woman and saw that she was adorned with jewels and looked graceful and luxurious.
She remembered that this was the wife of Duke Rongguo, the birth mother of Concubine An.
When Yingchun saw that everyone was staring at her, she replied to Mu Ci: "Your Majesty, just now a palace official said that someone was looking for the slave, and the slave walked away for a while. Ningxiang also knows about this."
Mu Ci straightened his expression and asked, "Besides Ningxiang, do you have any other witnesses?"
This is clearly someone who set a trap, picked a time, opened up the Yingchun, had people dress up as Yingchun, and poisoned the snacks.
The only twist in this poison plan is that Yu'er may not know how to use snacks, but Yu'er is really a child at heart and can't control her mouth when she sees snacks, so the most critical part of this poison plan has become.
Ji Rou also didn't expect that her testimony would drag Yingchun into trouble.
The other party's vicious scheme not only caused the Crown Prince to suffer, but also dragged the maids closest to the empress into the water, and also dragged Concubine He Xian and His Highness into the conspiracy circle.
Yingchun thought for a while and shook her head blankly.
She really couldn't remember anyone she had met, but she had never gone to the crime scene before.
At this moment, Biyu's voice sounded: "Returning to your Majesty, I happened to have seen Yingchun. I have seen you at the place where Yingchun went. There were two palace servants with me at that time. They can also testify. In case anyone thinks that I am cheating.
Proof, Nunu and Yingchun can write the name of that place at the same time."
Yingchun was stunned for a moment and then responded: "My dear, this is the way to go!"
In this way, she can be cleared of suspicion, and the empress can be freed from this conspiracy.
The person behind the scenes must have calculated everything, but he must not have guessed that Biyu would be an eyewitness, right?
Mu Ci took a deep look at Biyu, then ordered Biyu and Yingchun to take a corner each and write down the names of the places where Yingchun went.
Not long after, the two of them filled in the place names respectively, and Mu Ci showed it in front of the public. The place names written by Yingchun and Biyu were both - Bajiao Pavilion.
"Concubine Ming, do you still have any questions?" Mu Ci looked at Qi Luo and asked quietly.
