Jade of Rebirth

For a moment, all eyes were on her.

"Hurry up and raise your head!" The servant Sun once again snapped.

As expected, the palace maid trembled like chaff and raised her head, Yuan Heng and Yu Li took a look, wasn't it her?

"It's her!"

"Father, it's her who deliberately knocked over Li'er's wine bottle, and even brought up a poisoned wine bottle!" Yu Li and Yuan Heng said one after another.

When Emperor Zhang Wu heard this, he was about to ask her, when he saw her kowtow vigorously, her forehead hit the marble floor making a "bang bang" sound, and after a while, she saw red, she was crying, and her voice contained extreme pain panicked:

"Your Majesty, this servant does not know that this wine bottle is poisonous, and this servant is wronged!"

"Presumptuous!" Sun Fan yelled, he has pretty features, but his attitude is very fierce when he is cold and hard, "You don't know that the wine bottle is poisonous, so why did you deliberately knock over the wine bottle? Could it be a coincidence?"

"No, no, no..." The court lady shook her head vigorously, with a look of tears, as if she had been greatly wronged, "Someone ordered the servant, and some said that the servant should find a chance to change Princess Zhao into this Just a wine bottle, I will give the servant 100 taels of silver, so that the servant can heal the old father who is seriously ill outside the palace, the servant is anxious about the old father's illness, and the ghost is fascinated, and it is not intentional to murder the princess!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed to the ground again.

Hearing that someone ordered her, everyone present looked at each other in dismay, with different expressions. Naturally, most of them turned their gazes to the princes and concubines on the opposite side intentionally or unintentionally. After all, under such circumstances, this A few are the most suspicious people.

Emperor Zhang Wu also glanced at the banquet between the empress concubine and the princes, and then asked the maid: "Well, who ordered you?"

The maid was a little dazed, but she looked around, as if recognizing each one, everyone frowned when she saw her, but fortunately, her gaze quickly moved to someone else body.

For a while, the hall was extremely quiet, as if everyone's breathing was heard from each other.

"It was him, he instructed me..." The palace maid's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and the person she was pointing at...

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, but there was a guard standing behind Yuan Heng, and this guard was Ning Wang Yuan Ying's personal guard!

Everyone is terrified.

"It's actually him..."

"Sixth, it's actually you!"

"Prince Ning, you are so courageous!"

Everyone criticized at the same time, but Ning Wang Yuanying's expression was only stunned for a moment, and he quickly calmed down, looking at his guards.

The guard was also extremely astonished, and at the end his face seemed to be flustered, and he said: "No, I'm not a subordinate, my lord, I didn't..."

"It's clearly you!" Sitting next to King Ning was Kang Wang Yuanqi, with a proud expression on his face that saw through the truth, he said, "Just now you went out once, and you must have ordered this court lady to poison you, right?"

"No subordinate! This subordinate just went out to relieve himself!" The guard argued, but soon, he came to his senses, knelt down towards King Ning, and said, "My lord, this subordinate has never done this before... ..."

Before he could finish speaking, the court lady he had identified fell on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, it is indeed he who used this servant, and this servant really doesn't know that this wine bottle is poisonous, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Zhang Wu didn't give the guard another chance to defend himself, and without looking at him, he said coldly: "Come here, drag this person down, interrogate him strictly, and make him tell the truth!"

When Yuan Ying heard this, he naturally knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to him, so he immediately glanced at the guard and said: "What the father said is true, the clean is self-clearing, if it weren't for you, the father would never be wronged you!"

The guard looked at Shang Yuanying with a determined look on his face, and said: "This subordinate has never done it before, even if he is killed, he will not admit it!"

As he spoke, blood suddenly flowed from his mouth, and his head tilted to one side.

The person who was holding him opened his mouth to look, and said to Emperor Zhang Wu: "Your Majesty, he bit his tongue and committed suicide."

"Damn it!" Emperor Zhang Wu yelled at the case angrily, "Isn't there no proof now?"

The prince hurriedly got up and said: "Father, he is the personal bodyguard of the sixth younger brother, and he is also a dead man. If he is exposed, he will refuse to admit it. Naturally, he has been prepared for a long time, but the maid has already confessed, so it can be seen that this is the case! Moreover, this The guard and the ninth brother have no grievances, so why did they kill him? It was clearly instigated by someone behind the scenes!"

Emperor Zhang Wu could naturally think of this, with a cold face, he glanced at Ning Wang Yuanying, and said, "Lao Liu, how do you explain?"

Yuan Ying heard this, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Father, first of all, I really don't know about this matter, and I'm not sure whether my bodyguards did it or not..." He said, taking a look Standing by the side with a gloomy face, Yuan Heng said, "Everyone knows that my ninth brother and I have a very strong relationship. He is crowned king and married a wife, and my son and minister are naturally very happy for him. How could he harm his concubine?"

Hearing this, King Jing sneered, and said, "'Knowing people knows their faces but not their hearts, drawing dragons and tigers is difficult to draw bones', who knows what kind of face is behind your smiling face to Jiudi? Anyway, I have always known , Sixth Brother, you are deep in the city, and it is difficult to know the details."

"You!" Yuan Ying couldn't argue, and finally didn't want to argue anymore, and said to Yuan Heng expectantly, "Ninth Brother, what about you? Do you also suspect it's me?"

Yuan Heng's calm face turned slightly better, but he didn't answer Yuan Ying's question, he only bowed to the emperor above him, and said: "Father, I believe that Brother Six is ​​upright and resourceful. If you really want to harm Erchen and Wangfei, you will not use such a stupid trick, this matter is obviously someone who wants to put the blame on Sixth Brother, so as to provoke the relationship between Erchen and Sixth Brother..."

The Queen Mother heard this, and sighed: "It's Heng'er who understands brothers' filial piety best."

Emperor Zhang Wu also seemed to approve of him, and asked: "In your opinion, what should it be?"

"According to what Erchen saw," Yuan Heng looked at the court lady kneeling below, and said, "The source lies in her, why don't you go and interrogate her to see if she lied..."

When the maid heard this, she immediately panicked and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am wronged, you are wronged!"

Emperor Zhang Wu didn't even look at her, and waved his hand at his servant: "Drag on!"

"Yes!"

The maid was immediately gagged and dragged down.

This kind of thing happened at the banquet, and everyone's interest was also disturbed. Emperor Zhang Wu and the Queen Mother were even more in a slump. They didn't end the banquet, but they were just waiting for the result. But soon, the servant came to report, saying that the palace maid couldn't bear the torture and was dead. And he didn't say anything useful until his death.

So the matter was left alone, and the banquet ended in a hurry.

But when everyone went back, they obviously had different moods, some were happy and some were sad.
