Chapter 293 Three Feet of Frozen
His eyes touched the small porcelain bottle, and the shouting suddenly stopped. Zhao Ruxin raised her face and stared at Liang Huan, her moist red eyes full of anger.
"Liang Huan, you are so brave. This is in prison, and before the case is finalized, you dare to poison me!"
"What? It's because I guessed you. Are you so anxious to kill someone and silence me? You’re trying to lie to me in his name!”
“I’m telling you, I won’t let you succeed!”
Liang Huan straightened up and took a step back: "Why do I need to use someone's name to kill you?"
"What a loud tone! Don't think that you can do whatever you want with the help of your holy grace and cover the sky with one hand!"
Liang Huan smiled: "Why not?"
"You... are in prison!"
Liang Huan gently tugged on the silk: "Yes Ah, it’s in prison.”
"You, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to give an explanation if you kill me?"
"An explanation? I came here specifically to give everyone an explanation."
"Don't even think about it. You hurt me, I want to see the Lord!"
Liang Huan looked at her and shook his head gently: "If he wants to see you, why should I stand here?"< br>
Zhao Ruxin was stunned and looked embarrassed: "What do you mean? You mean, yes, he asked you to give it to me?"
She choked: "His heart is so cruel, so cruel..."
Liang Huan had no intention of saying more, and took out a blood book that had been prepared from his sleeve, his voice was cold.
“This confession has been prepared for you, so you can go on your way with peace of mind. Rather than letting them hold you down and force-fed you down, you might as well drink it yourself with dignity, right?”
After speaking, Liang Huan threw the blood book in along the gap, and it happened to fall in Zhao Ruxin's hand.
Zhao Ruxin froze, grabbing the blood book with her white fingers. When she saw the handwriting, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Why is this handwriting so accurate to hers?
By the time I finished reading every word, my face was extremely ugly.
Zhao Ruxin looked at the white porcelain vase and then at the blood book, her teeth gritted and she cried and laughed for a while.
After a long while, he slowly lowered his head and stared blankly at the white porcelain bottle. He went to take it with trembling hands. Just when his fingertips were about to touch the bottle, he stopped again, as if it was hot to his hands. The fire was like coals, and I didn't dare to get any closer.
She swallowed her tears and picked up the porcelain bottle cruelly.
Liang Huan glanced at her, turned around and walked out.
Just when she was about to reach the end, a harsh shout sounded from behind her.
"He treated me like this today, who knew he wouldn't treat you like this in the future, Liang Huan, I'm just waiting to see your end..."
Liang Huan only paused. For a moment, he smiled indifferently and continued to move forward.
Outside the prison, the steps are getting further and further away, and if you turn another corner, you will disappear completely, but the prisoner is still watching.
Zaoli followed and looked around for a long time, confused, and kindly reminded: "Sir, I have left!" What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and get interrogated? I'll interrogate you overnight!"
Zao Li shrank his neck and said quickly before running away.
Seeing that Zaoli was gone, the prisoner looked back again, feeling quite emotional.
I knew he was ruthless before, and it was really good.
I can't stay in this prison any longer...*
In the evening of the same day, news came that Longhui Zhao Ruxin knew that his crime was unforgivable, so he committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime, leaving a blood letter before his death. She listed the crimes committed during her lifetime and explained that everything had nothing to do with the Zhao family and was purely her own doing.
The blood letter stated that after Concubine Shu entered the palace, she fell out of favor again and again. When Concubine Shu became pregnant, she became even more jealous, so she took advantage of Concubine Shu to organize a birthday banquet for the queen. On this occasion, on the one hand, he instigated the palace officials of Hanguang Palace to manipulate the gifts, ruining the queen's reputation, and framed Concubine Shu; on the other hand, he bribed the chamberlain in front of the Queen Mother, intending to poison Concubine Shu and blame the Queen Mother.
Whether it is true or not needs further verification, but the confession about the poisoning is basically consistent with that of the servant of Renshou Palace, and there is no discrepancy.
As for the statement that the jade statue was broken, it is consistent with the statement of the people in the Hanguang Palace.
After nearly half a month of investigating the case of birthday banquet poisoning and jade statue fragmentation, the results finally came to light.
Because the matter involved the former harem, we conducted a top-to-bottom investigation for five days, and unexpectedly found out a few people who had instigated and incited Zhao Ruxin.
I don’t want to pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, but I am greedy and afraid of death, so I actually confessed to the people I had always formed a clique with for personal gain, in order to alleviate the crime.
Thus, the original competition for favor in the harem evolved into collusion between the former dynasties.
After repeated interrogations, another old case was involved, proving that King Changshan died unjustly regarding military pay. Lou Xiao, the former Guanglu doctor, used the legitimate daughter of Princess Lanling as a threat and forced her to give false testimony to frame King Changshan.
There were so many executions that year that many people came out to cry out for injustice and accused the Lou family of having been favored by the emperor for many years, but had deceived the emperor, formed cliques, and acted domineeringly.
I thought the matter would stop there, but unexpectedly, the Lou family incident caused the nobles to expose each other.
Interrogations, confessions, arrests, interrogations, snowballing, more arrests, more interrogations...
Confessions were revealed among the arrested Lou personnel. Because the Queen was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's long-term high-pressure control, she wanted to conspire with the Lou family to bring down the Queen Mother and the Lu family, so she deliberately framed Marquis Anding. After the Prime Minister accidentally learned the inside story, he persuaded him. The Lou family was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he borrowed the help of his daughter Cao Luyun. , added pollen to the letter, and secretly killed Prime Minister Cao...
In the birthday banquet case, it was as if a random fire accidentally ignited the gunpowder buried deep in the ground, blowing the entire Jinye city to pieces.
The two countries finally had a truce, and before a few days of peace, civil strife suddenly broke out. For a moment, people were panicked, every plant and tree were soldiers, and the whole Jinye was in chaos.
Gao Qian originally wanted to take advantage of this incident to clean up the situation and consolidate the imperial power, but he did not want the situation to develop out of control.
Three feet of ice does not freeze in one day.
Eager for success, it is counterproductive. It is afraid of damaging the foundation, and it is even more afraid of shaking the throne. No matter how unwilling Gao Qian is, he can only suppress the matter bit by bit and deal with a few key people symbolically.
A month later, there was a grand banquet in the palace, but it was just a whitewash of peace.
The internal strife among the powerful royal family has become increasingly serious.
The window sash is wide open, and a moist breeze blows in softly.
Liang Huan stood by the window, watching the palace servants sweep away the water in the courtyard. After several days of heavy rain, it was finally clear this morning.
My shoulders sank and I had an extra coat on my body.
Liang Huan turned her head slightly and was surprised when she saw Mu Yan.
After several days of heavy rain, people were trapped in the house and unable to get out. As soon as it cleared up, Huang Wei led several concubines of the same rank to the door, saying that they wanted to learn how to make incense and mix it with her.
Xiang Lan was afraid that she would be tired, so she sent Yuan Zhi to lead the group to the garden.
After becoming pregnant, she became less and less lazy about playing with things, so she didn’t stop her.
She had other motives for doing these things, but Mu Yan was different. She really liked planting flowers and grass.
Liang Huan could tell that Mu Yan preferred to stay in Langhua Garden than Hanguang Palace.
Langhuayuan is right next to the Imperial Garden.
“Why didn’t you go out with them?”
