Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Concubines in the harem are not allowed to enter the front hall, but this is not the first time Concubine Xie has gone to the front hall. After all, she is the birth mother of Emperor Deguang, and no one can stop her if she really wants to come.

Everyone looked at Mu Zan in unison.Mu Zhan's complexion changed drastically, but he looked at Mu Ci with complicated eyes.So everyone also looked at Mu Ci.Mu Ci didn't say anything, she looked peaceful...in a daze.

Obviously just lazy.

Concubine Xie's voice came from the entrance of Zichen Hall: "Get out of the way! Who dares to stop me? The Jun family... Sanlang... I am your biological mother. Mo Rongxiao has turned black and white, and created a rift between mother and child."

A toffee is always shouting outside, which is outrageous.Emperor Deguang could only order to open the small door next to the main hall door to let Concubine Xie enter.

Although Concubine Xie was reluctant, she was not the Empress Dowager, so she had no reason to open the middle door to receive her, and now was not the time to take Joe, so she had to bear the humiliation of the side door!

After entering the main hall, Concubine Xie walked towards Emperor Deguang step by step, and asked sharply: "Sanlang, do you really believe in rumors, and are you going to let outsiders frame your biological mother at will and put her to death?"

This accusation is very serious. Even if Mu Zan doubted his mother, he couldn't bear such an accusation before she was convicted, so he stood up and opened his mouth... In the end, he remained silent, not knowing what to say What.

Say I believe you?

But he obviously didn't believe that such a large-scale rebellion could not have been promoted without the concubine's promotion.And it's not the first time she has done this kind of thing. She participated in the palace change that the first emperor removed Prince Bao.

Say I don't believe you and want to judge you?

These are not words that a Son of Man can say.

He could only be silent.

Concubine Xie walked up the imperial steps. Empress Mei was about to stand up and give up her position, but Mu Zhan grabbed her wrist and pressed her on the phoenix chair.

Mu Zan said to the servant: "Give a seat to the concubine!"

Concubine Xie knew that it was the emperor who doubted her, and she was going crazy with anger, but she couldn't and didn't dare to get angry in front of everyone, so she could only sit on the back of the phoenix chair with resentment, which was just a small chair.

In fact, the concubine does not even have the qualifications to enter the palace, but now is not the time to talk about this.Everyone was muttering in their hearts - the first emperor did not allow Mrs. Xie to be the empress dowager, and some people thought that the first emperor was unkind, but now it seems that they are right!

A concubine has caused so many troubles, how can she be a queen mother?

Concubine Xie didn't know it yet, and she had the momentum to point out the country, and said to King Qinghe: "My brother, start the trial, please be upright, and thoroughly investigate the matter of King Chu's murder of His Majesty!"

Unexpectedly, King Qinghe, an upright prince in charge of Dazong Zhengsi, was instigated by a concubine.Even if the concubine is the emperor's biological mother, she is still just a concubine.

King Qinghe didn't even look at the concubine, he stood with his back straight and didn't speak.

Concubine Xie didn't know what to do, but today she had to hold on, so she had no choice but to stand up, but she didn't dare to press any further.

Still Mu Ci said: "Hurry up and interrogate, everyone hasn't eaten and is hungry."

Everyone: "..." Are you hungry?

Mu Ci didn't care about anyone's eyes, An Zhiruosu took the snack bag handed over by Mou Yu, touched milk candy from inside, ate one, and handed two to Emperor Deguang, motioning him to share one with the queen.

Of course not for the toffee.

King Qinghe's eyelids twitched. Seeing that Emperor Deguang ate one, he actually handed one to Empress Mei... Empress Mei also took it, and then... ate it.

Okay, let's try the case first, it's getting dark, everyone will be really hungry if they don't eat dinner.

King Qinghe turned around calmly and said, "Where is Qin Shan? Who killed Qin Shan?"

The eight guards in Jinyi carried Qin Shan in on a stretcher.

Qin Shan was lying, covered with a layer of white cloth, his head was exposed, his eyes were closed tightly, and because of his fat, a lot of blood oozed out of the white cloth from his belly, which was as tall as a hill.

At the same time, the envoy of Hall of Ren'an who killed Qin Shan was also brought up. He was the chief servant of Concubine Xie Xian.

The envoy of the Palace of Ren'an immediately argued: "The villain asked about the food for the concubine. He was in the imperial food department, but he saw the king of Chu's classic food in Qinshan in a separate small kitchen. The villain asked curiously, and found out that he was serving Chu Wang Zhi ordered to present new dishes to His Majesty. The villain passed by and took a look, and found that Qin Shan was making soup with wild mushrooms. The villain was born as a hunter in the mountains, and recognized two types of mushrooms among them that were highly poisonous and could not be eaten. The villain saw Qin Shan again Take out the migratory locusts and put them into the frying pan for frying. These insects may also be poisonous, and locusts are divine insects, so they cannot be killed casually, how can they be eaten? Isn’t this causing the gods to wrath and punish His Majesty? The villain shouted out in desperation For his plot, Qin Shan raised a spoon to kill me, but I resisted with a kitchen knife, and somehow he grabbed my hand and cut himself... the villain is wronged..." the envoy of Ren'an faced Emperor Deguang cried out for injustice, "Your Majesty... Those meals are indeed poisonous, and the villain is also for you. They dare to use meals to murder you."

Concubine Xie also sternly said: "The King of Chu has ulterior motives and intends to poison His Majesty, but you still dare to argue with the evidence? Come on! Take him down for me!"

Everyone looked at Concubine Xie: "..." The main hall is either Jinyiwei or Tianziying, where did the "people" come from?

Concubine Xie is of course not lacking in IQ. She said this on purpose to accuse the King of Chu of another crime: "What? What about the Imperial Army? King Chu, you deceived His Majesty and locked all the kings and first-rank officials in the palace, and replaced all the guards with you." What kind of intentions do you have?"

In fact, this kind of provocation is still in place, but it is a pity that Mu Ci has always been of good character and good reputation. He has many opportunities to replace him, but he never did so. Instead, he defended Emperor Deguang, so that he was questioned and punished state of sin.

No one doubts the King of Chu, but thinks that the King of Chu has been bullied... People who talk about the rules are always too wronged.

The king of Chu looked indifferent, leaning on the king's chair with his forehead resting on one hand, without making a sound.Le Zhao, who is the spokesperson of the King of Chu, was not in a hurry. He knelt down to check Qin Shan, and said calmly, "The victim can't speak, but what the suspect said is not enough to make a conclusion. More witnesses are needed."

The old servant beside Concubine Xie said: "What kind of victim, Qin Shan tried to poison His Majesty, he deserves death..."

Le Zhao stood up unhurriedly, glanced at the waiter, and said slowly: "Please note that the trial is now about the king of Chu suing someone for maliciously framing and hurting others."

"What? Obviously..."

Le Zhao ignored the clamor, and looked at King Qinghe: "Presiding officer, this person has nothing to do with this case, but he disrupted the normal order of the trial several times. We ask the San Judicial Department to expel the disturber!"

King Qinghe was also tired of people's quarreling, and he couldn't say a word, so he winked at King Changshan, Tianziying rushed to the concubine like a wolf like a tiger...passed her, and dragged the old servant down.

This is completely called killing chickens and monkeys.

Concubine Xie sat upright with a straight face, she must not lose her dignity, rushed up to fight with the soldiers of the Tianzi Battalion, she could only ask tremblingly, "Jun's family, just watch..."

Mu Zhan looked at her coldly: "Concubine Tai, your... people have repeatedly disrupted the trial, why?"

Guilty?

Concubine Xie didn't dare to look into Mu Zan's eyes.

Mu Zhan's voice was even colder: "Taifei! Don't overstep again! The first-rank prince is not something you can order! The first-rank prince is not something you can criticize randomly!"

Concubine Xie couldn't help shouting: "Sanlang, he intends to harm you!"

"It's being interrogated by the three divisions right now! Uncle Qinghe will judge right and wrong." Mu Zhan looked at Concubine Xie, his cold eyes full of warning!

Concubine Xie's only reliance was her own son. Seeing his son's cold eyes, her heart sank and she decided to bear it for the time being.

No one was making trouble anymore, Le Zhao squatted down again, and asked Lu Bingchen, who had many years of experience in solving cases, to examine Qin Shan's wounds together.Lu Bingchen lifted the white cloth but did not see the bloody wound, which was stitched up.Le Zhao stroked the length with his finger, and felt that the skin under his finger was elastic and warm, so he pressed it.

The "corpse" lying on the ground moved and snorted...

Le Zhao was extremely calm, Lu Bingchen was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, shaking his finger at the "corpse", and his voice trembled: "He...isn't he dead?"

Le Zhao made a serious analysis: "Dead people don't know how to hum, and that's not the case with cheating corpses." He pressed the wound hard again, which made Qin Shan moan even louder.

This situation was unexpected, King Qinghe asked: "What's going on?"

Jin Yiwei's accompanying military doctor explained: "Qin Shan didn't die, because he was fat, the wound was only the soft flesh of the abdomen, no vital organs were injured, and it has been stitched up."

Qin Shan is delicious and fat, who knows that fat people have this advantage, cut half of his stomach with a kitchen knife, only cut the belly and fat, bleeding a little, the wound looks scary but it’s actually all right .This Qin Shan was also clever, afraid of being silenced, he quickly lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead, until Jin Yiwei came to rescue him.

The accompanying military doctor sutured Qin Shan, and now Qin Shan passed out from the pain.

Mu Xun subconsciously glanced at Mu Ci, Mu Ci was very calm... and gave him two more candies.Mu Zhan knew that his younger brother was protecting his weaknesses, but he was not excited when he saw the "corpse" of his own people. He was so leisurely and calm. Did he know that Qin Shan was not dead?

Mu Zhan was also very calm and ate a candy by himself, handed one to the queen, and asked directly: "Do you know that Qin Shan is not dead?"

Mu Ci knew early on that no one reported it, because he now has a wide range of mental power perception, and he had already felt that Qin Shan's mental power was not weak, and he was quite active.Mu Ci replied: "I know, but how did I know...the secret, I won't tell you."

Mu Zhan stopped asking, and then couldn't help but think of the purple-haired old man and the origin of the ninth younger brother, the real dragon, and felt that this was a secret that should not be revealed.

King Qinghe sent witnesses, Fang Shanwu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, asked, and several witnesses from the Imperial Food Division agreed with the statement of the envoy of Ren'an Palace.And there is indeed a pot of mushroom soup, and some live bugs.

Le Zhao still didn't rush to refute, but only asked the military doctor: "Is there a way to wake Qin Shan up?"

"You can prick the acupuncture point with gold needles to wake him up forcefully."

"Wake up if you can't die." Le Zhao ordered.

Qin Shan groaned, awakened by the pricking of the acupuncture point by the golden needle.Lu Bingchen squatted beside him and asked. The two chatted intermittently. It took a while for Lu Bingchen to conclude: "According to Qin Shan's testimony, he was preparing meals at that time. The envoy of the Hall of Ren'an rushed in and took a kitchen knife to kill him..."

The envoy of Hall of Ren'an retorted: "He lied. I didn't intend to kill him. He wanted to hit me with a spoon, so I touched something to resist. Who thought it was a kitchen knife. He wanted to take the knife, so I naturally didn't let it go. During the pushing and shoving, he somehow..."

Le Zhao looked up and down the envoy of Ren'an Temple. Although he was in his prime, he was relatively thin, and said, "Presiding officer, the suspect is thin and weak, and he is very different from the victim who has been holding a pot and chopping vegetables all the year round. Knife, I really can't think of why the victim couldn't win and was chopped."

Indeed, many people could see that Qin Shan should have subdued the envoy of the Hall of Ren'an in two or three strokes.

The envoy of Hall of Ren'an opened his mouth, and said after a long time: "It was him...it was his foot that slipped, and just fell on the edge of the kitchen knife..."

The Jinyiwei military doctor can also prove it, because when they rescued Qin Shan, he did collapse, with a kitchen knife under his belly.

Le Zhao questioned the witnesses again. Several witnesses could not explain the situation clearly, and some said that they fell and were crushed.After asking, Le Zhao looked at Lu Bingchen, and asked slowly, "Has Mrs. Lu made a judgment?"

Although it is a question, it is very firm!

Lu Bingchen had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "According to my many years of experience in handling cases, the abdominal wound of the injured was caused by a sharp weapon from the third bone on the left side of the sternum down to an inch below the navel, and the length was more than one foot. And the military doctor said the wound The initial entry is shallow, the interruption is deep, and the final section is shallow. Then I judged: firstly, this cannot be an accidental crush injury caused by a fall, but must be scratched by a person holding a sharp object; secondly, the direction of the injury is from left to right, for a left-handed person And hurt."

Lu Bingchen also gestured at Qin Shan's wound from the air.

Le Zhao said: "Is the envoy of the Hall of Ren'an a left-handed person?" Someone quickly answered that the envoy of the Hall of Ren'an is left-handed, and it's useless for him to deny it. Such things will always show up in daily life. It cannot be concealed.

Right and wrong have been understood, all the first-rank dignitaries on the jury, civil and military, looked at each other and nodded.

Le Zhao looked at the witness of the Imperial Catering Department and said, "Aren't you telling the truth?"

The ironclad evidence is so overwhelming that the Imperial Food Secretary can only reveal the real situation. It is indeed the envoy of the Hall of Ren'an who committed the crime first.

The envoy of Hall of Ren'an sat paralyzed on the ground.

It wasn't that the envoy of the Hall of Ren'an had a low IQ. He was only responsible for quietly administering some drugs, but it turned out that Qin Shan was cooking poisonous mushrooms and all kinds of "poisonous insects".

Anyway, they just need an excuse, killing the King of Chu, no matter how many loopholes there are, who will pursue the truth?Even if someone pursues it, once the winner covers it up, nothing will be pursued.

"My minister has doubts." Uncle Baoping Li Qidong spoke.

King Qinghe nodded: "Please tell me!"

"I have something to ask the King of Chu," Li Qidong pointed to the mushrooms and insects and said, "Does His Highness the King of Chu really want to feed His Majesty these things?"

Everyone whispered.Indeed, let alone mushrooms, these bugs have never been eaten.In the past, when locust plagues occurred, everyone said it was God’s punishment, and they dared not eat them. Instead, they held sacrificial activities and prayed that God would not be angry.

"Those are all edible."

Mu Ci, who had been silent for a long time, spoke slowly at this time, without any loud voice, without excitement, and without any fuss, simply stating a fact.

Things like aura can be coerced by mental power, and it also depends on the power a person can mobilize.Years of immersion in high positions can also cultivate enough power.

Mu Ci has all the above, so he never speaks harshly, and he is also very majestic.

Moreover, if a person's thinking is always lofty and far-reaching, and his behavior always takes the overall situation into consideration, the result is always beneficial to the whole, and he is honest and honest.Then this person's prestige will continue to accumulate, producing a convincing, even adoring and worshiping glory of the king.

Mu Ci didn't even provide an example, and with a simple sentence, everyone subconsciously believed him.

Concubine Xie saw that the situation was not good, and saw that the insects were really uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but snorted coldly: "King Chu, is it true what you say with empty teeth? Go and eat these poisonous mushrooms and poisonous insects yourself?"

Mou Yu, who had been silent all this time, stood up and testified: "It's ten fresh soup and deep-fried spring worms. We are also afraid that it will be poisonous and harmful. Brother has already tried it in the palace. The taste is unique and nothing special. Only if you are punished and demoted, you dare to present it to His Majesty."

Everyone was shocked, this...why did the king of Chu test himself for poison?

Mu Zhan was also surprised, and hurriedly asked concerned: "Is there something wrong with the ninth brother, or..."

"No problem." Mu Ci quickly comforted her.

Mou Yu said: "If you don't believe me, let someone cook it, and then we can be the first to taste it."

The problem was that Qin Shan was lying down, and no one in the Imperial Catering Department dared to do anything. Locusts were gods. Even if they were not afraid of being punished, if any of the dignitaries and loyal ministers present, luckily the top ones, were to eat something wrong, it would be a death penalty.

By such a coincidence, a servant said that the hand tools for the small kitchen of Renming Hall had arrived.It was the king of Chu who wanted to eat egg cakes, and Emperor Deguang asked someone to prepare them.

Mu Ci stood up, walked down the imperial steps, and said, "Everyone move in!"

Everyone knows that the King of Chu is smart and has calculated everything, so people have to think about it - did the King of Chu expect this situation just now, so he asked people to prepare things in advance?

Mu Ci began to roll up his sleeves: "Since no one dares to do it, why don't I make it myself for everyone to try?"

Everyone: "..."

The king of Chu cooks himself?do you mean this?

Mu Ruosong had been suppressed by King Ding all this time, he didn't dare to make a sound and didn't dare to make the slightest movement. At this moment, he couldn't control himself and took two steps, but was firmly held by the wrist by King Ding.

Mu Ruosong couldn't bear it any longer—Your Highness, to be so humiliated in public.

These people actually... actually pushed His Highness to such an extent!

Not to mention Mu Ruosong, most of the people present liked and admired the King of Chu, and they all threatened a woman in the harem to run the King of Chu, and forced the King of Chu to cook for himself... Although there was a little bit of expectation, it was more of dissatisfaction .

"Ninth brother..." Mu Zhan stood up and wanted to catch up with Mu Ci, but Concubine Xie rushed over and grabbed his arm tightly.

Mu Ci smiled at him, expressing that there was no problem, and glanced across the audience with a faint look, rejecting all dissuasion.

People in the Hall of Renming are all Queen Mei's confidantes. They know that "a concubine cannot be called a sister-in-law". With the support of the King of Chu, the Queen's recovery is not a problem, so he obeyed his advice.They quickly lit the fire on the stove and put the pot on, and poured oil into the pot according to Mu Ci's instructions, and prepared the seasoning.

Mu Ci rolled up her sleeves and picked up the large bamboo cage containing the locusts.In order to keep the freshness of the locusts, all the insects were not killed, they were alive and kicking.

Mu Ci directly opened the locust cage, and the locust flew out frantically in an instant...

Concubine Xie was about to reprimand him for deliberately letting go of the physical evidence, but she saw Mu Ci slowly stretching out a hand... Then, a miraculous scene happened.

The locusts flying around in the hall seemed to be summoned by some kind of power, and slowly circled around Mu Ci's outstretched hand, gradually forming a vortex of locusts.Everyone in the hall gasped, even Mou Yu, who knew Mu Ci well, widened his eyes, feeling very miraculous.

And Mu Ci's side face is as beautiful and indifferent as a statue, her eyes are calm and unruffled, as if everything in the world is nothing but dust that can be destroyed with a flick of a finger...

Then, the wings and limbs of the locust were separated in the air by an unknown force... Mu Ci pointed out, and the body of the locust "flowed out" from the whirlpool like an hourglass and dropped into the oil pan... sound!

Mu Ci's palms were retracted, and the wings and limbs lost their support, and they fell like snow, fluttering and falling on the blue bricks in the hall.

In the whole hall, except for the "sizzling" sound of the oil pan, there was no other sound at all. Almost everyone subconsciously held their breath, looking at the limbs of locusts all over the ground, some of them didn't know what time it was, where they were?

Just now……

what is that?

Miracle?

Everyone looked at Mu Ci calmly, holding an oil spoon and flipping the migratory locusts in the oil pan, the wind was messed up...
