Chapter 145 Ping Guiren
The queen turned to look at Lu Zhaolin: "Your Majesty, someone is deliberately plotting to kill Yong Ning! That person must know Yong Ning's arrangement and know that she will let the little eunuch add medicinal powder to Ma Wang's feed.
So he deliberately added vinegar to the trough. The horse king has a keen sense of smell and smelled the unpleasant smell, so he only ate a little bit of the grass mixed with medicinal powder.
Because the medicine was not effective enough, Yongning fell off his horse and died. "
The queen almost used all her strength to say the last sentence.
After saying this, she saw water glistening in her eyes again.
Lu Zhaolin put his arms around her shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Bring everyone from the Royal Horse Prison to the Criminal Punishment Department. Conduct a thorough investigation to find out who added vinegar to the trough."
Then, he looked at the kneeling imperial doctor: "Where did Yongning's medicinal powder come from? Did you prescribe it to her?"
The doctors all denied it.
Hua Xi lowered his head and said with a trembling voice: "It's the princess. The princess ordered her servant to find a veterinarian outside the palace to prescribe it."
The queen walked up to her and asked condescendingly: "She asked you to drive, so you went to drive? Don't you know how dangerous this is? As the eldest maid next to her, don't you know how to persuade her?"
Hua Xi defended herself: "I dare not disobey the princess's order."
But I heard the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor say: "Your Majesty, the Queen, today the princess said that she wanted to tame the horse, but the servants and others were trying to stop her. Even the other palace officials brought by the princess also tried to dissuade her. The girl from Huaxi has been encouraging the princess."
Hearing this, other people kneeling behind Hua Xi also spoke out.
"That's right, the slaves all said that taming horses is dangerous, and they tried their best to stop the princess. Only Huaxi said that this matter would be easy for the princess."
"Hua Xi also said that if the slaves dare to stop the princess, they do not want the princess to make meritorious deeds."
"I guess Huaxi came up with this idea for the princess."
"Before today, the servants didn't know that the princess wanted to tame the horse, nor did they know that the horse king was drugged."
"My servant doesn't know either."
"Only Huaxi knows, it must be her idea."
As they exchanged words with each other, the Queen's eyes towards Hua Xi became colder and colder.
Hua Xi loudly said: "It wasn't me, it wasn't my idea, it was Dongqing's idea."
Her eyes were fixed on the Queen with a sincere look: "Queen, it was really Dongqing's idea."
The queen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Go and find Dongqing."
The book next to her made a "promise" sound, and she took a few young eunuchs from Fengyi Palace to find someone in the princess's residence.
Then, the queen asked: "Since it was Dongqing's idea, why did you go to find the powder outside the palace? Why did you give the powder to the little eunuch who raised the horse king? Why is it you who is serving Yongning today?"
There were beads of sweat on Huaxi's head, and she replied: "Because Dongqing didn't agree with this idea, the princess sent her slaves to do these things."
The Queen sneered when she heard this: "If it was really Dongqing's idea, why would she disagree? Do you think I am a fool?"
Huaxi said hastily: "It's me. I heard her and Wen'er mention this idea in private. In order to win the princess's trust, I told the princess the idea before her. Dongqing objected in order to prevent me from making great achievements. This idea."
After the words fell, the queen slapped her in the face: "Great merit? Great merit that caused my son's death?"
She exerted great force, and this slap directly caused Hua Xi to tilt her body and fall to the ground.
After more than a quarter of an hour, Dongqing and Wen'er were brought over.
But he didn't come here by himself, but was carried here.
Both of them were pale at this time, their lips were chapped, and they looked weak and depressed.
When he spoke, his breath was also unsteady: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and to pay my respects to the Queen."
"What's going on?" The queen frowned as she looked at the two people kneeling in front of her.
The letter replied: "Your Majesty, the Queen, the servants and others arrived at the princess's residence. After questioning, they found out that Dongqing and Wen'er were locked up by Huaxi's people. They have been locked up for three days. .”
The queen said: "Holly, Huaxi said that it was you who came up with the idea to drug the horse king and then let Yongning train the horse. Is this true?"
Dongqing said: "Queen Qi, this is definitely not the idea of the slave, it is the idea of Huaxi. Three days ago, after Huaxi came up with this idea, the slave tried hard to dissuade the princess, but could not make the princess change her mind. The slave and Wen'er want to I reported to His Majesty to prevent the princess from taking risks, but Huaxi ordered her to be imprisoned."
Speaking of this, two lines of tears flowed from her eyes: "This slave is incompetent."
Wen'er also broke down in tears and said: "This slave is incompetent."
The book added: "When the slaves opened the door, the first thing Dongqing said when she saw the slaves and others was: Report to Your Majesty quickly, Huaxi wants to harm the princess."
Hua Xi said anxiously: "You're talking nonsense. It was obviously you and Wen'er who came up with this idea first, and I heard it, so I came up with the idea for the princess before you did."
Dongqing did not defend herself and only said: "This idea is indeed not yours. But I failed to stop the princess and failed to report to Your Majesty in time. I have neglected my duty and please punish the Queen."
Huaxi still wanted to defend, but was slapped in the face by the queen again: "You bitch!"
Dongqing and Wen'er, watching Huaxi being knocked to the ground, both thought silently in their hearts: Sister Huaying, did you see it? We avenged you. Princess Yongning has gone down to accompany you, and soon Huaxi will be sent to Jiuquan.
At the beginning of Xu Shi, it suddenly started raining heavily.
Heavy raindrops hit the yellow glazed tiles on the roof, making a crackling sound.
In Fengyi Palace, the queen sat in front of the window.
She held a cup of tea in her hand. The hot steam floated up from the water and hit her eyes, creating a hazy mist.
Her voice was soft and slow: "Yongning used to dislike rainy days very much. Even if there are palace servants taking care of her, it is inevitable that her skirts will get wet and her shoes will get dirty."
Huaping whispered: "Princess always likes to be clean."
The Queen sniffed and said, "Yes. The clothes she wore today were dirty and wrinkled, with grass blades, dust and blood stains on them. She must be very unhappy wearing them. .Fortunately, I have asked someone to change her into a new set of clean clothes."
When she said this, a smile appeared on her face. There was a "ticking" sound in the teacup in his hand.
Huaping held back tears: "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."
After the queen was silent for a moment, she put down the tea cup, raised her eyes to look at her, and asked, "Dongqing and Wen'er, are you still guarding Yongning Ling?"
Huaping nodded and said, "Yes. The slave asked someone to lead them down to use some things, but Dongqing said that she felt ashamed of the princess and couldn't use it anymore."
The queen sighed and said: "When Yongning's funeral is over, let the two of them go to Fengyi Palace to serve."
Huaping said: "The empress is kind."
That night, the Shenxing Department came out with the results of the trial, and Yao Xingde reported the matter in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, a young eunuch in the Royal Horse Prison spit out that it was Zhi Cui who was next to Lord Ping and asked him to add vinegar to King Ma's trough. He thought it was just to make King Ma take two less bites, and it was not a big deal. . The money Zhi Cui gave him was enough for the rest of his life, so he agreed. Only when the little eunuch who raised the horse king told him about the medicinal powder did he know that he had got into a big trouble. Do you think it will be a trial for Ping Guiren? Zhi Cui next to you?"
Lu Zhaolin gritted his teeth and said, "Ping Gui and Zhi Cui were both mentioned in the Shenxing Department."
When the people from the Shenxing Division arrived at Yongfu Palace, Ping Guiren was sitting in the small hall of the East Side Hall, waiting for them to come.
The person leading the charge was Nanny Sun. She bowed and said, "My lord Ping, Your Majesty has an order to ask the young master, Miss Zhi Cui and the old slave to go to the Shenxing Department."
Hearing this, Ping Guiren raised his eyes to look at her, with a smile on his lips, and said: "I know why mama is here. Mama, just go and answer your majesty. I was the one who did what happened to Princess Yongning."
In front of the emperor, Lu Zhaolin heard the little eunuch's reply and threw the white jade paperweight on his hand to the ground with a "dang" sound.
"Bring that bitch to Ganquan Palace."
After the little eunuch took the order and left, he turned to Yao Xingde and said, "Please come over, Queen."
