Reborn as King again

Chapter 233 Horseshoe Cake

Because of the borrowing of soldiers, Min Yanle begged me many times for the sake of her country, but I am still thinking about it. Now the soldiers and horses of Zheng State have come to the border of Yue State. Fortunately, the terrain of Yue State is dangerous and easy to defend. It is difficult to attack, and it will be impossible to fight for a while. As long as I, Datong, send troops for it, Yue will definitely be able to protect it.

Compared with Min Yanle's begging, Jia Wanru was calm and composed. She didn't want me to face Zheng Guo, and she didn't mean to embarrass me. She understood me very well, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. The Jia Wanru I know is definitely not that simple.

Bi'er got married, and Yun'er sneaked out of the palace every three days to meet her Su Zhuo. The other princes either had jobs or were still studying, so Zhen'er was extremely bored and finished the lessons taught by the nuns every day. Besides, I can only play with Persian cats.

At the beginning of summer, I took He Wenliu for a walk in the palace, picked out some easy-to-walk areas, and met Zhener who was playing with cats in the garden.

Zhen'er is a cute kid, she saw us both from a long distance, she immediately stood up, and ran over to say hello.

I rubbed her little head with a smile, and asked, "What was Zhen'er doing just now?"

Zhen'er replied: "Play with Mimi." Then, Zhen'er picked up the Persian cat on the ground, teased it and said, "Mimi, hurry up and say hello to Father."

The Persian cat listened to Zhen Er's words very much, and immediately meowed.

He Wenliu looked at the cuteness of the Persian cat, and stroked its hair with his hands. The Persian cat was not shy at all, and stretched out its tongue to lick He Wenliu's fingers. He Wenliu felt itchy, so he withdrew his hand.

I accompanied He Wenliu to play with the cat. At this moment, four palace servants came here, and they all held trays in their hands, and there were several fashionable snacks on the trays.

Wanfu stopped them and asked about their intentions, one of the palace servants said, "Concubine Le made the cakes herself, and sent servants to give them to His Majesty to taste."

Min Yanle did a lot of things to please me. A few days ago, she learned how to dance with a dancer.I have also improved a lot in Chinese surgery, and now I cook for me by myself.I glanced at the pastry on the tray, flower-shaped, translucent mung bean color, looking tempting.

I asked: "It looks exquisite, but what is the name of this pastry?"

"Return to the emperor," the eunuch replied, "This is horseshoe cake, a specialty of Concubine Le's hometown."

Horseshoe cake?What's the name?And it's from Min Yanle's hometown? !The last time I took a bite of the pig's blood cake she gave to He Wenliu, it smelled like blood. Could this horseshoe cake smell like horseshoe?Just because of this name, plus the pig blood cake that Min Yanle made me hard to swallow, I have a lingering fear that I will never touch this horseshoe cake, and Jia Wanru, who knows me well, must also count it.

I waved my hand, I really didn't like this horseshoe cake, and said: "I don't like sweets very much recently, so I'll reward you..."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Zhener say: "Father, can I give it to Zhener? Those pastries look delicious, and Zhener has never eaten them before." She is a little greedy cat.

Of course it can't be rewarded to Zhen'er, I can't help but secretly scold these palace servants for their lack of winking, and they choose to send it when Zhen'er is around, she is a little greedy cat.I know that there is something wrong with this pastry, there is poison in it.

I didn't refuse Zhen'er's request, so I rewarded her with these plates of pastries right away.Zhen'er immediately took a piece of pastry, before she put it in her mouth, I suggested with a smile: "Zhen'er, don't you want to feed your Persian cat? Father looks at it and seems to be hungry."

This Persian cat, Zhen'er, is very precious, but she has never been hungry. No, when Zhen'er heard this, she handed the cake in her hand to the Persian cat's mouth, coaxing it and saying: "Mimi, so you I'm hungry, let's eat pastries..."

The Persian cat is usually fed by Zhen Er, so when the owner feeds the food, the Persian cat habitually opens its mouth, bites down, chews and swallows.

The Persian cat ate at most two mouthfuls, and then it whimpered and twitched all over. Zhen'er was young and didn't understand anything, thinking that the Persian cat disliked the pastry, so she teased the Persian cat with a smile: "Mimi, don't be picky eaters~"

Zhen'er didn't understand the situation, and the other eunuchs present were not blind!They knelt on the ground one after another, especially the four cake deliverers, trembling with fright.The cat died after eating the cake made by Min Yanle. The cake was originally given to me as the emperor.

"Father..." Zhen'er tilted her head and looked at me innocently, completely unable to understand what happened.

The baby girl was holding the dead cat in her hands, so I couldn't see it. Wanfu couldn't understand the anger on my face. He took a step forward, "Princess Zhen'er, I've offended you." The Persian cat in the house hugged her forcibly.

When Zhen'er saw it, she became anxious immediately, and stretched out her hand to snatch it back, but Zhen'er was so small that she could only circle around Wanfu's clothes, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Eunuch Wanfu, what are you doing? give me back……"

"Princess Zhen'er," He Wenliu hurriedly stopped her when he saw this, and coaxed her to say, "Don't worry, your Persian cat is probably choking on food, Wanfu is going to take it to the imperial doctor to see. "

"Really?" Zhen'er was dubious.

"Of course." He Wenliu unhurriedly took out a brocade handkerchief, wiped away the tears from the corners of Zhen'er's eyes, and said, "Don't delay the treatment, your Persian cat will come back."

He Wenliu's words are very convincing, and will not cause any harm to Zhen'er's young mind.

Jia Wanru has my spies by my side, and I know she instigated the poisoning. Since I don't like the food of Dayue, Jia Wanru took advantage of it. Anyway, I don't know how to eat it. No matter who gets poisoned in the future, it will be Min Yanle's fault. on the head.

The reason why Jia Wanru did this is very simple. Min Yanle begged me to send troops to fight against Zheng Guo for Da Viet, but Jia Wanru’s own daughter, Bi Er, married to Zheng Guo, so it can be said that she and Zheng Guo are on the same line. If I really send troops for Da Viet , Presumably Bi'er's situation in Zheng Guo would be very bad at that time.

Jia Wanru's framing is really good. Min Yanle's downfall will only benefit her and not hurt her at all. As far as I am concerned, I am happy that Jia Wanru will do this. Da Yue will be destroyed sooner or later. Rather than spending my own troops, it is better to let Zheng Guo go So it's okay to jump into the trap set by Jia Wanru.

After Wanfu left, I whispered to the eunuch next to me: "Go to Yanle Palace and put Concubine Le under house arrest!"

In less than an hour, rumors spread in the palace that Min Yanle wanted to poison me. Min Yanle is from Da Viet and has no backer in Datong, so now no one dares to stand up for her and say a word, all wishing to clear up the relationship of.

After ordering someone to send Zhen'er and He Wenliu back to their respective bedrooms, I pretended to be angry and went to Yanle Palace. At this time, Min Yanle was already crying like a tearful person. When she saw me, she burst into tears I have to cry out for being wronged, that cute and pitiful appearance really makes people feel soft.The results of the imperial doctor's examination arrived at this moment, and it was confirmed that the horseshoe cake was poisonous and that arsenic was added to it.

If you want to convict, you will naturally not give Min Yanle an excuse to refute. I am not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. I endured the anger in my heart and let Min Yanle explain clearly.

Min Yanle couldn't explain clearly, because she wanted to please me, so she didn't use other people's hands when making pastries. From kneading noodles to steaming, she did it all by herself in the imperial dining room, and the helper was just Her two personal servants brought from Dayue, so their testimony is not credible at all. In our opinion, only Min Yanle and his personal servants were poisoned.

Generally, when cakes are poisoned, the toxin will be hidden in the stuffing, or added to the water for kneading dough, but horseshoe cake has no filling, and the water for kneading dough is also made by a personal maid from the well outside the imperial dining room. Jia Wanru didn't So stupid, he would put arsenic in the well next to the imperial dining room.The current toxin comes from flour, which no one can guess.

Jia Wanru ordered someone to add arsenic to the flour bag in the imperial dining room. The horseshoe cake made of arsenic mixed with flour is poisonous. Yes, I think the sack of flour should have been shipped out of the palace by now, and no evidence will be left behind.

Min Yanle was terrified, she couldn't defend her innocence, she could only cry and say that she was innocent, it seemed that she was delusional to make me feel pity.

Min Yanle was crying like pear blossoms with rain, and there was a report from the internal supervisor, saying that Jia Fan had led a group of ministers to ask for an interview. By the way, he also asked the internal supervisor to bring me a few words, saying that beauty is a disaster, a disaster for the country and the people, Please ask me to kill Min Yanle.

Min Yanle's crimes are quite easy. It's nothing more than seeing that his country's borrowing of troops is not enough, and he has a murderous intention. If the prince is young, he can't take charge of the overall situation, and Datong will definitely be in chaos. If Zheng Guo Hurry up to attack, Datong is afraid that there will be a hard fight, and in this way, Dayue will be saved. Everything Min Yanle has done is to keep her country of Dayue.

In the Qianlong Palace at night, Jia Wanru Shanshan came to comfort me when she saw my sad face. She was considerate and leaned in my arms with a smile, "Concubine Le is like that. This hurts."

I laughed mockingly, seeing her act so well, if I hadn't known the ins and outs, I would have been deceived. Presumably Jia Wanru in her previous life had done many similar scenes in which she framed others and comforted others.

I didn't puncture it, but I just said with a nonchalant expression: "I didn't feel sorry for her, in fact, I didn't even think about sending troops for Da Viet, so I dragged it until now. Now it's just right, no matter whether the poison was poisoned by Concubine Le or not, I don't care about it. There are all excuses, count her unlucky, Da Yue must be destroyed."

Jia Wanru smiled knowingly when she heard the words, "What the emperor said is true, the concubine is too worried."
