Chapter 1137: Concubine Chang Strategy (14)
When it came to the concubine Niangniang, Dong Jiaying felt a pain in her brain. If it weren't for that concubine, she would have tried her best to get arsenic to eat!
"Even if Li Shanggong is guilty, it should be the palace that deals with her, and as for the concubine Niangniang, there is no need to bother her in this matter." Dong Jiaying said coldly, "Let go of Li Shanggong and return the bag of arsenic." ”
Jenny: "No, even if Niangniang can't think about something and takes the initiative to take the poison, she has to go to the concubine Niangniang to explain it clearly." Otherwise, if the queen mother and the emperor blame this matter, how will the concubine explain it? ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but say something, and walked outside with Li Shanggong in one hand and the bag of arsenic that had just been snatched from Li Shanggong in the other.
Li Shanggong was scared enough, if this really made her into the hands of Chen Guifei, with Chen Guifei's festival with Dong Niangniang, how could she still live? Arsenic is highly poisonous, she deliberately made this poison and handed it to Dong Niangniang, no matter what the reason, I am afraid that it will not be explained.
"Mother, help! Mother, help! Li Shanggong shouted.
Dong Jiaying's forehead was covered with cold sweat, so she could only quickly get up and follow her.
The two sides entered Fengyi Palace one after the other, and they didn't want to see Ye Xinluzheng and the emperor sitting next to each other at the table in the main hall of Fengyi Palace, the table was full of all kinds of side dishes, and the two were having a good meal.
"Bold minions, why did you trespass in without being reported?" Seeing that the emperor's face was unhappy, Ye Xinlu scolded and said.
In fact, the emperor's face was displeased, and he really saw Li Shanggong, who was trembling like a chicken being carried by Jenny. Where did this palace maid named Nini discover from Chen Guifei? His kung fu is even more powerful than his secret guard.
Jenny had already knelt on the ground and saluted, and knelt down while pressing Li Shanggong.
At this time, Dong Niangniang rushed in in a hurry, followed by Zhao Shanggong, who wanted to stop her but couldn't.
Seeing that the emperor was also there, Dong Jiaying couldn't help but be stunned, but quickly reacted and knelt down to salute the emperor.
Zhao Shanggong also hurriedly saluted: "Emperor Qi, Niangniang, Nini and Dong Niangniang really broke in too fast, and the slaves and maids couldn't stop them in time......"
Ye Xinlu said: "You go down first!" ”
Zhao Shanggong responded with a "yes" and hurriedly retreated.
The emperor said: "Let's talk about it, you three masters and servants, what happened to you who are so in such a hurry?" ”
Dong Jiaying was about to speak, but Jenny had already preemptively said: "The emperor forgives the sin, it is really the slave maid who accidentally discovered a great event, and this is a faux pas under the horror." ”
The emperor said curiously: "Huh? What's the big deal? ”
Dong Jiaying said: "Your Majesty, this matter should be a misunderstanding......
"It's the slave who saw it with her own eyes, how can it be said that it was a misunderstanding?" Jenny snatched the conversation again, "The slave accidentally discovered that Li Shanggong was secretly collecting highly toxic arsenic, and she brought out all the arsenic in the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor to Dong Niangniang, and collected it for three days in a row.
Today, she took all the arsenic she had collected to Dong Niangniang, and the slave was worried that Dong Niangniang didn't know that it was highly poisonous and mising, so she stopped Li Shanggong in time. This is the arsenic that the slave maid just took from Li Shanggong's hands, and now that I think about it, the situation just now is critical, and the slave maid is still terrified. ”
"Arsenic?" Ye Xinlu was shocked, "How is this possible? Li Shanggong has always been loyal to Sister Dong, and she will never harm Sister Dong. It's just that if she doesn't want to harm Sister Dong, but to dedicate arsenic to Sister Dong, she doesn't know ......" she said and turned her head to look at Dong Jiaying meaningfully, "Who does Sister Dong want to use this arsenic on?" ”
The emperor looked serious and asked: "Arsenic is highly poisonous, and the palace has always been very strictly controlled, I also have this question, Concubine Dong Ai, tell me, what is the intention of Li Shanggong to collect arsenic and hand it over to you?" ”
"This ......" Dong Jiaying was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did she say: "Back to the emperor, this poison was collected by the concubine at the behest of Li Shanggong, and the purpose was to serve the concubine one day, not to use it on others." ”
Only with such a reason can she and Li Shanggong not be convicted.
The emperor couldn't help but be angry: "Oh? Then let's talk about it, you have only been in the palace for two years, and I have already been named a concubine, and now I have given you the honor guard of the concubine, the same treatment as the concubine, such a great honor, you don't want to repay me well, why do you want to commit suicide by taking poison? Could it be that I am sorry for you? ”
Dong Jiaying hurriedly said: "The emperor misunderstood, the concubine just felt that her body was weak, and she was cold to the bones every night, and she was miserable, so she ordered Li Shanggong to secretly prepare arsenic, so that when his concubine couldn't bear the pain, he ...... it."
"It's hard to convince me of this reason, so you should say it obediently, what's the use of arsenic? Who are you trying to harm? The Emperor interrupted her impatiently.
As the Son of Heaven, he naturally controls the affairs of his harem, and he also has a general understanding of Dong Jiaying's physical condition, although there is occasional discomfort, but how can it make her "cold to the bones and miserable"? She's just looking for a reason to prevaricate herself.
"Your Majesty, what the concubine said is true, and I dare not deceive the emperor at all." Dong Jiaying said eagerly, with a little softness and pleading in her voice, and tears welled up.
In the past, when the emperor saw her like this, he would always be soft-hearted, and he would not pursue any mistakes. Now she's doing it again......
But I heard the emperor snort coldly: "Concubine Dong, you are obviously lying when you say this, how can you convince me?" ”
"Concubine...... What the concubine said is true......" Dong Jiaying said and began to cry, "Your Majesty, do you remember how long you haven't been to the concubine?" The emperor is bigger than the sky in the hearts of his concubines, and he respects and loves the emperor like a god.
But why can't the emperor be a little sympathetic to the concubine's heart and give a little bit of his favor to the concubine? During the period when the emperor didn't come to see the concubines, the concubines only felt that they had nothing to love, and it was better to die, maybe so that the concubines could get a place in the emperor's heart......"
As she spoke, she suddenly stepped forward and snatched the arsenic from Jenny's hand, and was about to put it in her mouth.
"Oh, sister, no!" Ye Xinlu exclaimed, rushed forward and snatched the medicine bag, and shouted urgently: "Come quickly, go and ask the imperial doctor, no matter what, you can't let my sister be poisoned." ”
Dong Jiaying stared at the medicine bag in Ye Xinlu's hand, stunned for a moment, she thought that if she suddenly grabbed the medicine this time, others would definitely be in a hurry, no matter what the consequences were, she would take the antidote first! But the antidote to her mouth was snatched away by Chen Guifei with lightning speed, and not a single pill of medicinal powder was poured into her mouth.
"Ahem!" The Emperor, who was still sitting at the table, coughed lightly and continued to sit upright.
[Midnight Wu Song]: "Haha, the anchor's actions just now were so fast, was our emperor screwed?" ”
