Chapter 85: Mismatched confrontation
The eyes suddenly focused on herself. Liang Huan’s eyebrows jumped sharply. She tried hard to suppress her panic and knelt down again: "Today, the daughter of the people acted recklessly and behaved rudely, which not only offended the Cao family. Madam, it frightened the queen, and the daughter of the people admitted her mistake."
Gao Qian sat back slowly, looked at her for a moment, and said with a smile: "You don't seem to know what mistake you made? ”
Liang Huan’s back stiffened. There was clearly something in his words.
She calmed down and raised her eyes to look at him, with a puzzled look on her face: "I hope your Majesty will make it clear."
Gao Qian raised his head with one hand, glanced at the queen, and then his eyes fell on her face again: "Why did you poison the queen?"
Liang Huan was shocked, staring and speechless.
After he said this, Zhou Yun next to him was also a little anxious. He hurriedly looked at Lu Xiu. Liang Huan deliberately caused trouble. They knew the reason best. The fact of the poisoning was very strange. How could it be her doing? Unexpectedly, he seemed to be indifferent, sipping tea with his head lowered.
This person?
Zhou Yun felt something was wrong.
Seeing Liang Huan's reaction, Gao Qian suddenly smiled: "What, you want to say that you are wronged?"
Liang Huan nodded repeatedly and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people is indeed wronged, the Queen is right How can a civilian girl repay kindness with hatred if she loves her so much? What’s the point of harming the queen?” The doctor stepped forward.
He bowed respectfully to the empress, then turned around and looked at Liang Huan: "The reason why the queen fainted was because she mistakenly took Datura pollen."
Liang Huan shook his head: "Doesn't this mean it was me who did it?"
The queen knew that Liang Huan had been wronged, so she nodded and said: "This matter must have nothing to do with her. There are already beautiful flowers in the garden, and there are some who accidentally touch them."
There are many flowers and plants in the garden, and there are even more mandalas. It is inevitable that they will be contaminated accidentally, and everyone thinks it is reasonable.
“But this datura pollen was found in the tea given to the queen.”
Everyone was even more confused. Wasn’t the tea given by Liang Zhang? What does it have to do with her?
Gao Qian raised his face and looked at her: "This tea was obviously made by you, why did you let Liang Zhang take over?"
Liang Huan was stunned and quickly denied: "Your Majesty, this citizen girl is really unjust. Not to mention that the civilian girl has no reason to harm the queen. Even if there is, how can the civilian girl be so stupid to design such a clumsy trap? This is not to harm others. , It’s clear that I’m trying to harm myself!”
“Oh?”
“My original intention was to introduce my brother at the banquet, but my brother wanted to take over the work of cooking tea for me. "Liang Huan paused and looked at Cao Danqing, "I didn't want to be caught by the Fifth Lady, and I knew I couldn't hide it from Your Majesty and the Queen, so the Fifth Lady took me to the flower garden and said she wanted to report it, and I obeyed, but on the way, We had a quarrel, and that's what happened after that."
Liang Huan spoke sincerely, kneeling straight, and there was no trace of guilt on his face.
“It is true that women of the people cook tea, but it is not women of the people who serve tea. If your Majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to check the utensils for making tea, from the cauldron to the bowl. The women of the people have a clear conscience.”
Gao Qian folded his arms and looked at her, smiling slightly: "Then you mean Liang Zhang did it?"
Liang Huan hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head and denied: "Brother's temper is absolutely impossible. It's okay to tell him not to do his job properly, like this, like this - he definitely doesn't have the brains."
She looked embarrassed after saying that, everyone knew what kind of reputation Liang Zhang had in Jinye.
Gao Qian glanced at the crowd and asked with a smile: "But why did he say that you wanted to harm him?"
She bit her lip, feeling aggrieved: "Such a big thing happened. Brother A is right to be afraid. He was at a loss and wanted to clear away the suspicion, so he spoke unscrupulously and blamed the civilian girl. "
"Then you're not afraid?"
He leaned forward, his dark eyes unfathomable, and Liang Huan's heart was beating fast.
She nodded instinctively, her cautious eyes struggled a little, and then became firm again: "However, the daughter of the people believes in your majesty!" Gao Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed unscrupulously and arrogantly.
Liang Huan only lowered his eyes.
He leaned back again, and with a glance, Liang Zhang was escorted forward.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty - I was wronged, I was really wronged," Liang Zhang cried and howled. When he saw Liang Huan, he even cursed, "It must be this bitch who wants to harm me! Your Majesty, it's her, It must be her! I was wronged!"
With such hysteria, Gao Qian couldn't help but frown, his expression was very impatient, and someone quickly blocked his mouth with a look.
Liang Huan did not raise his eyelids.
Gao Qian lowered his eyes and smiled lowly: "As far as Gu knows, Liang Cheng is not good to you. He not only uses you to please Wang Su, but also takes possession of the things that Gu rewarded you with. But why? In Wang Su's case, you not only attributed the credit to him, but now that something happened, how can you still protect this son like this?"
It's not surprising that the emperor would privately investigate the affairs of the courtiers' inner chambers, but he was usually wary of those with high positions and authority. For someone of Liang Cheng's level, it really wasn't of much value, but he knew everything about it, which was a bit strange. .
Liang Zhang struggled and screamed.
Liang Huan glanced sideways and lowered his head: "Since His Majesty knows, the daughter of the people will no longer hide it. If the daughter of the people does not do this, the uncle will not only drive the daughter of the people and her mother out of the house, but also say It might even cost us our lives.
If my uncle hadn’t taken her in, we would have nowhere to go, so we can only...”
Her thin body was covered in width. In the big sleeves of his robe, his head was lowered, and a few strands of black hair fell down his cheeks. A closer look revealed that even his eye circles were red, but he could not hold back a single tear, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.
Nowhere to go?
Gao Qian stood up with a smile, leaned down, and pinched her thin, white and pointed chin. The smooth and tender skin made people fall in love with her.
He tilted his head and glanced at the Queen: "Don't the Queen like her? Let her come into the palace to be your companion!"
Liang Huan trembled all over, her face calm. Wulan couldn't help but feel happy that she could enter the palace!
Everyone’s expressions changed.
After Gao Qian finished speaking, he lowered his head and came closer, smelling the faint scent of tuberose on her body. His tone was very soft: "I wonder what you think?"
Liang Huan looked at him, His face was obedient: "The daughter of the people obeys His Majesty's will."
He controlled her with the same hand that had just strangled someone else. The disgust and hatred made her wish to kill him immediately.
Zhou Yun was so anxious that he looked at the queen for a while and Lu Xiu for a while.
The Queen was speechless. She had a premonition from the beginning when he wanted to commend Liang Huan in person.
Lu Xiu always held the cup of tea, as if drinking it and playing with it. No matter what happened in front of him, it was far less interesting than the tea in his hand.
Gao Qian let go of his hand, put his arm around Liang Huan's waist, and personally helped her up, looking very fond of her.
"Da Sima."
As soon as Liang Huan stood firm, Gao Qian smiled softly.
Being called unexpectedly, the distracted man raised his eyelids and looked over.
Lu Xiu put down the tea in his hand calmly and stood up calmly: "I'm here."
The voice was light, neither humble nor overbearing.
