Chapter 905: Pretending to be Sick
"If you don't know anything, how did you serve the poisonous sour plum soup to Concubine Li, could it be that you were also instructed by Princess Qi to murder Concubine Li?" Yan Chen: This is to let Fu Leng choose.
Whether to choose to sacrifice himself to fulfill Concubine Li, or choose to tell the truth, this is all in Fu Leng's choice.
Of course, Concubine Li also knew that Fu Leng's choice was related to her life and death, she stared at Fu Leng tightly, and said without thinking about it: "Who made you do this?" ”
Fu Leng has been by Concubine Li's side for so many years, and before Concubine Li opened her mouth, she knew what Concubine Li's choice would be. Concubine Li, as her master for so many years, doesn't seem to have any other choice.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Bao Yun's voice sound: "Fu Leng, you have to understand that colluding with others to murder concubines is not a small crime." If you were to say that the concubine did it, then the concubine would not necessarily die. I don't know if you have a family, have you ever thought about what will happen to your family if you point out that it was the concubine who did it? ”
She looked up and looked at Bao Yun's eyes that were almost bloodshot.
"Princess Qi, are you trying to blackmail Fu Leng?" Concubine Li snapped.
Baoyun sneered and said, "Concubine Ben doesn't need to blackmail her, these are all facts, but Concubine Ben doesn't say it, I'm afraid she won't understand." ”
"Could it be that this poison is really from the princess? Otherwise, why would the princess be so excited? "Concubine Li doesn't want to get involved now and there is no way, if she doesn't speak again, she will really fold herself in.
"Who has something to do with this matter, Concubine Li thinks that Concubine Li knows it herself. As for why Concubine Ben wants to defend herself, what Concubine Ben hasn't done, will she admit it? ”
"Even if this kind of thing has been done, I won't admit it."
Concubine Li and Baoyun are-for-tat, and the conflict is about to break out.
At this time, the person who went to find the source of the poison also returned, and Yan Chen didn't expect that the person would come back so soon. And with them came in was a physician.
Yan Chen looked at the imperial doctor with a gloomy face and asked, "Does this imperial doctor have anything to do with this matter?" ”
"Yes." The person who went to investigate replied, "The subordinates found out that it was the Tengshu root powder given by Imperial Doctor Lin, and the subordinates also found some dried Tengshu roots from his residence, as well as a hundred taels of silver." Some people also saw that he handed over these powders to Fu Leng beside Concubine Li. ”
Fu Leng's face was already bloodied when she saw this imperial doctor, and when she heard the guards say that there were still eyewitnesses, she knew in her heart that she was finished today.
Yan Chen did not delay and asked the witnesses to be brought up.
"You saw Imperial Doctor Lin hand over this paper bag to Fu Leng?" Yan Chen asked the witness.
The witness was a grandmother, and she seemed to be used to seeing big scenes, so she said unhurriedly: "Yes, the old slave saw Imperial Doctor Lin and handed over this package of powder to Fu Leng. ”
"You don't want to spew blood, you see it when you say you see it." Lily of the valley retorted: "The slave said that it was Princess Qi who instructed the slave to do this, His Royal Highness King Liang didn't believe it, did he believe the words of this old slave?" ”
It seems that Lily of the Valley is really in a hurry, and even Yan Chen is doing it.
Yan Chen was not in the mood to talk to her more, and continued to ask the old lady: "What day, what hour, and where did you see it?" ”
"It was last night, when I estimated that it was already ugly, and I was in Gyeongbokgung Palace." The old lady replied.
Although the name of Gyeongbokgung Palace is good, it is a cold palace. In the first two dynasties, there was a concubine who set herself on fire in the palace, and since then Gyeongbokgung Palace has been rebuilt and repaired, but there are often palace people who say that they can hear the cry of women in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and slowly, Gyeongbokgung Palace has no one to live in, and it has become a cold palace.
Hearing the old woman's words, Fu Leng couldn't support it anymore and collapsed to the ground.
Yan Chen wanted to convince everyone, and then asked, "It's that hour, why did you appear there?" ”
"Your Royal Highness doesn't know, the old slave is the palace maid of the concubine, although the concubine is gone, but the old slave still has to guard her palace in her lifetime, this is the only thing the old slave can do for her."
Looking at the gray-haired and old-fashioned old woman in front of her, Baoyun's eyes were moved. The concubine in the mouth of this old lady must be the concubine who self-immolated. She didn't know so much about the previous dynasty, so she could only guess like this.
However, seeing Concubine Li's surprise, it doesn't seem like she knows the existence of this old mama, since this is the case, then this mama must be living in a simple place, how can the guards find clues?
Yan Chen didn't think so much, and instead asked Fu Leng and Imperial Doctor Lin: "Where are you in the ugly time last night, can you have witnesses to prove it?" ”
Imperial Physician Lin stammered and said, "Last night was Weichen on duty, and it was Imperial Physician Xin who was worthy of being with Weichen." These hospitals are on file. ”
Yan Chen waved his hand and asked people to find this Imperial Doctor Xin, and then then asked Fu Lengdao, "What about you?" ”
"It wasn't the slave maid who was on duty by the mother's side last night, so the slave and maid slept in their own room, and no one can prove it."
"Come on, go to Concubine Li's palace and ask, has anyone found out that Fu Leng has left, or is there anyone who can prove that Fu Leng has been sleeping in the room all along. If anyone dares to know and not report it, this king will definitely punish him severely! ”
Hearing this, Fu Leng's face turned pale, and she herself was not sure if no one had seen her when she left.
Concubine Li's face was also as pale as paper at this time, and as the evidence surfaced one by one, she really couldn't hide it if she continued like this. She had to find a way to stop it.
Thinking about it, she covered her abdomen and groaned, "My stomach hurts so much. ”
Yan Chen looked at her acting coldly, and said to Imperial Doctor Xu: "Imperial Doctor Xu, please take a good look at Concubine Li, how is the poison on her body?" ”
Imperial Doctor Xu is the holy hand of juice, the antidote just now let Concubine Li drink it, Concubine Li's poison has been solved, where will there be abdominal pain.
However, Yan Chen said so, and he could only go to Concubine Li's bed and kneel down to check Concubine Li's pulse.
Sure enough, although the pulse was a little weak, it was very gentle, and the poison had been resolved.
"Concubine Li, the poison in your body has been resolved." Xu Yunzhu said.
Concubine Li's move was just to make everyone take their eyes off this matter, so that she would also have time to think of countermeasures. Thinking about it, she still stubbornly clutched her stomach, frowned and moaned: "I don't know what's wrong with this palace, my stomach really hurts." ”
After saying that, she seemed to be in pain and couldn't stand it anymore, and rolled on the bed.
However, her purpose was so obvious that no one present could see it. Yan Chen's eyes flashed with disdain.
