Chapter 971 The Supreme Interrogation
The emperor and queen and his party soon arrived at the palace of the empress dowager.
When they arrived, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, leaning sideways, not feeling very energetic.
Two maids pinched her shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right.
There were many eunuchs standing on the side, all staring at the old woman kneeling in the middle. The old woman looked like she was dressed as a rough lady in the imperial dining room.
When the Queen Mother saw Long Yi, Qiao Wanyou and others coming over, she straightened up in her chair.
"Why is the emperor here?"
Her heart thumped, what if Long Yi was responsible for the poisoning?
"I heard that my mother was poisoned, and I was very anxious, so I came with the queen."
Long Yikuo stepped inside.
Qiao Wanyou, supported by Fu Nanyao, also entered.
Following them were Fu Ciyi, Yan Funing, and Fu Beimo.
"Sit down, everyone."
The Queen Mother raised her hand and looked at Eunuch Mo with her turbid eyes.
Eunuch Mo had no choice but to tell the truth: "When the old slave went to find the queen, the emperor was having dinner with the queen."
Without saying anything else, the Empress Dowager immediately understood that Long Yi had to come with him for the current matter.
"If that's the case, then I'll ask the emperor to review it together."
If the emperor really did it, that's all.
Long Yi nodded and looked at the old woman kneeling below with majestic eyes: "Where is the duty?"
The old woman was shivering, her voice was shaking, she was shaking violently. , so he spoke more slowly: "Imperial dining room."
"What are you doing in the imperial kitchen?" Fu Beimo asked, "How can anyone reply slowly? How long will it take for you to report like this? Or are you thinking of a trick in your heart?"
A few questions come up , the old woman was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground, her whole body shaking even more violently.
Although she works in the palace, she does menial work. The people I have seen with the biggest horns are the father-in-law and the aunt and uncle who are in charge of the affairs.
Since her master was driven to the cold palace, she was sent to the imperial kitchen to light the fire.
I have never seen my master or a noble person since then.
At this moment, she met the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress all at once. When the Empress Dowager said that she wanted the Emperor to interrogate her personally, she was so frightened that her heart, liver and lungs were shattered.
The Empress Dowager said: "Slap your mouth."
Immediately, a grandma came forward and slapped her, and the sound of slapping her hands was heard.
With the crisp sound of applause ringing in her ears, the Queen Mother looked at the emperor with confusion: "This person is very tough-talking. I just caught him, but now I haven't explained anything."
She wanted to see the emperor's attitude and expression.
She was his legitimate mother, and he removed her to make way for his biological mother.
Nothing else.
The emperor looked at Eunuch Mo and asked in a deep voice: "How to catch it?"
Eunuch Mo said: "To inform the emperor, the Empress Dowager's meal needs to be stewed for a long time. Compared with other The masters of each palace have to cook for a long time. This woman is lighting the fire. The time also increased. Today at noon, she took advantage of others and sprinkled the prepared poison into the vegetables, and was caught by the old slave who showed up in advance. "
"Since we caught him on the spot, I'm afraid it's useless just to slap him." Long Yi said.
Turning to look at the empress dowager: "The empress has been in the harem for decades and has many ways to deal with palace people. For example, covering people with quilts and hitting them with blunt objects can break the ribs and make no external injuries visible. . The Queen Mother might as well use these methods more often, and the old woman in front of her will relax. "
The Queen Mother choked, and her already uncomfortable body became even more uncomfortable, and her face became even more ugly.
"Emperor, where did you hear this? Is the Ai family like this?" The Empress Dowager must have told Long Yi.
Both mother and son are not good.
Everyone hopes that she will die soon.
Now that she is older and the world is in Long Yi's hands, she can only ask Qiao Wanyou for help. This is relatively feasible.
I hope Long Yi will not kill Qiao Wanyou because of his love for her.
Thinking of this, she said to Qiao Wanyou: "Queen, please say a few words."
Qiao Wanyou didn't know that the Queen Mother was suspicious of Long Yi, and her children didn't remind her that there was anything wrong at the scene. , she said what she felt she could say: "The people kneeling below might as well tell you who ordered you to tamper with the Empress Dowager's food? As long as you tell everything you know, I believe that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will be fair. ”
The old woman shook her head: "No, no one instigated it."
Fu Ciyi said calmly: "You servants and wives live in the palace, and it is not easy to get poison. If no one instigates it, say No one will believe you if you go out."
Yan Funing also said: "Yes, you are working in the imperial kitchen and you can't see it on a regular basis. The Empress Dowager, please don’t lie about the Empress Dowager punishing you, so as to cover up the master behind you.”
The old woman lowered her head and said, “It is true that someone ordered the old slave to be drugged. But I didn’t know it was poison.”
“I ordered you to take the medicine, is it still a good medicine?” Eunuch Mo sneered.
"Although the old slave also knew that the medicine was not good, I still took action. Because the man said that he had been favored by my old master, and now he told me about the old master's sufferings and asked me to vent my anger for the old master."
< br>"Who was your old master?" Eunuch Mo asked.
"I dare not say anything." The old woman lowered her head even lower.
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and asked in a cold voice: "What does the person who ordered you to poison look like?"
The old woman was heartbroken when she thought that her whole family was in the hands of that person. Heng, he bit his tongue hard. Immediately blood flowed from the corners of his lips, and he fell to the ground.
Eunuch Mo hurriedly went to remove her jaw, but he was a step too late.
The old woman's tongue has been severed and she no longer speaks. Judging from the situation, people are also worried about their lives.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "It's bad luck, throw it out."
Mo Gonggong said yes and led people to carry the old woman away.
Fu Ciyi said: "Everyone who works in the palace is recorded in a roster. Their name, place of origin, age, and who the original master was can be found out at a glance."
"Yes." The Queen Mother immediately ordered the nanny beside her, "Go and check."
The nanny should claim that it was and leave quickly.
The scene of the old woman being carried away was discovered by someone, who quickly reported what he saw to the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother, I have inquired about this. The old woman bit her tongue and committed suicide. At this moment, the Queen Mother has no other choice."
"That's very good." The Queen Mother smiled and said, " I can rest assured that you will do the work.”
"It is my blessing to be with the Queen Mother all the time."
The Queen Mother touched his face: "I'm embarrassing you."
The man closed his eyes and felt the Emperor The Queen Mother was gentle and said with a smile: "Don't be embarrassed, these are all what I should do."
Suddenly thinking of something, the Queen Mother's face twisted: "That's not right. , What if the old woman digs deeper and finds you?”
“No, she will believe what the old slave said to the old woman, even if she is called to confront her. "No, we don't have to worry." As he spoke, he laughed, "As far as the Queen Mother said, I am willing to go to pieces for the Queen Mother!"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she leaned on his shoulder.
“In this life, the person I owe the most is you. Without you by my side, I really don’t know what I would do.”
