Chapter 127 Aunt Song takes the blame
Not long after, the guards the emperor had just sent and Zhang Fu came back with Aunt Song.
After being released by the guards, Aunt Song was about to crash into the pillar in front of her, but Yin Ling, who was beside Mo Yinan, picked her up and threw her to the ground.
Mo Yinan said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it seems that Aunt Song who is beside the queen did this. If you say that she, a servant, did this, I will never believe it."
The emperor was so angry at this scene that his temples were throbbing. He looked at the queen and said angrily, "Queen! Why did the servant serving you poison Miss Chu?"
The Queen was also shocked at this time. She looked at Aunt Song and said angrily, "Why did you do this? Miss Chu didn't offend you, why did you want to poison her?"
Aunt Song's face was full of resentment. She glanced at Chu Qianyu and then gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for her, my niece wouldn't have died!"
"What is the relationship between Miss Chu and your niece?"
General Chu's former concubine, Madam Man, was my niece. She had been living away from home for many years. One time, I was out on business and accidentally ran into her and recognized her. I heard from others that Madam Man had gone to the temple with Miss Chu to pray for Madam Chu, and that was when she died unexpectedly. "
"If it weren't for this mother and daughter, how could my niece have died? Now that my plot has been exposed, the Queen will naturally not be implicated. I am willing to die!"
After saying this, Aunt Song turned around, knelt down, and kowtowed to the emperor in a resolute tone, saying, "Your Majesty, please grant me death. This matter has nothing to do with the queen, and it was all done by me. The queen has been very good to me and the servants over the years. I hope you will not implicate the queen. She is innocent."
Seeing her like this, the Queen's eyes were slightly red. She picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes gently. She looked at her with a little regret and said, "Tell me why you are so confused! Madam Naman's death has long been found to be an accident. What does it have to do with Miss Chu? You...ah...you really want to piss me off to death. You have been with me for so many years. Why can't you change your impatient temper?"
Then she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I didn't expect Aunt Song to be so confused. It's all my fault."
"Humph, since she is yours, you are naturally responsible. Now that Aunt Song has admitted that she did it, she should be killed immediately."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. In my humble opinion, this seven-day poison may not be easy for someone of Aunt Song's status to obtain."
The emperor naturally knew about this, but he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Since Chu Qianyu was fine, it was just a matter of punishing a servant, and the matter would be over. If the queen was really involved, it would be troublesome.
So he looked at Mo Yinan with a hint of impatience in his eyes and said, "Maybe it was obtained by accident, who knows."
Then he looked at Aunt Song and said, "Where did you get this poison?"
Aunt Song looked a little flustered, and her breathing became a little rapid. She rolled her eyes and made up an excuse: "This... This was obtained from an old man while I was doing business outside."
"The Regent has heard it. What else do you want to say now?" The emperor looked at Mo Yinan with cold eyes, warning him to stop.
"Cough cough cough~"
The sudden sound attracted everyone.
"Qianqian, are you awake? How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Yunying asked several questions happily when she saw Chu Qianyu wake up.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I feel dizzy?" Chu Qianyu shook his head weakly.
"You were poisoned just now, and the person who poisoned you has been caught." Yunying said.
"Don't say you are Doctor Yue's disciple when you go out. You won't be able to tell if someone has drugged your food." Leng Qingzhou rolled his eyes at her and then squatted down to give her a pill and said, "Here, take it quickly and you will recover faster."
Chu Qianyu took it, swallowed it and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes were clear.
"I was poisoned by the seven-day poison developed by my master?"
"You just realized it now?" Leng Qingzhou said.
"I remember that the master only developed one dose of this medicine. If I remember correctly, it was given to Patriarch Situ. Could it be that Patriarch Situ would poison me? I don't have any grudges against her."
"I don't know about that. Aunt Song, who was serving the Queen just now, admitted that she was the one who poisoned her and said that she got it from an old man." After saying that, she glanced at Mo Yinan who was standing beside her.
Yunying heard this and felt something was wrong. How could a servant have the guts to poison someone? Besides, this medicine sounded rare. She was worried about Qianqian and didn't think about it. She turned to look at the queen and saw a flash of panic on her face. But she hid it very well.
Before she could say anything, she heard Concubine De come forward and say, "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter. Aunt Song would not dare to do this alone."
"What do you mean, Concubine De?" the Queen asked.
"The Queen knows best what I mean! I have been patient with you all these years, but you have always suppressed me. Today you have hurt my family, and I will not endure it any longer!" The more Defei spoke, the angrier she became, as if she wanted to express all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
Before she said that, she had already felt that the emperor did not want to make a big deal out of it, but today she did not want to let the queen off so easily. Even if the emperor did not like her in the future, it did not matter, anyway, she had no feelings for the emperor.
The Queen had a bad feeling when she saw Concubine De like this, so she quickly said, "Concubine De! You must know what you are talking about now! Could it be that you ate something wrong earlier and are not fully awake yet?"
Then he looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please don't believe Concubine De's nonsense. The imperial physician said earlier that Concubine De had eaten something wrong and fainted in my courtyard. I'm afraid she is not in her right mind and is talking nonsense now."
After hearing this, Concubine De snorted coldly and said, "The Queen should know best why I fainted. There is no such thing as food poisoning. It just so happens that Doctor Leng is here today, why not let Doctor Leng feel my pulse and find out what's going on."
After that, he turned to Leng Qingzhou and said, "Doctor Leng, please help me feel my pulse and see if you can tell what kind of poison I have."
Leng Qingzhou was originally watching a show, and was caught off guard when he was suddenly called out. Fortunately, he was only diagnosed with some poison. If he was asked to cure the disease, it would have been difficult for him.
Then he looked at the palace maid beside him and said, "Give me the handkerchief!"
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then she looked at him, her face suddenly blushed, and handed the handkerchief in her hand to him.
After Leng Qingzhou took it, he placed it on Concubine De's wrist and began to take her pulse.
When Yunying heard her sister say this, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. It hurt so much that she had difficulty breathing. She looked at Defei and Leng Qingzhou nervously, waiting for him to tell her the result.
The emperor looked at the current scene and thought that this matter could not be easily covered up. He was no longer in a hurry and sat aside.
Zhang Fu stepped forward and replaced the teacup with a new one for the emperor.
The Emperor said to the Regent: "Please sit down. I'm sure this matter won't be easily resolved in a short time."
After Mo Yinan bowed his head to thank her, he first walked to Chu Qianyu's side and asked in a low voice: "The ground is cold, let me help you up first."
