Chapter 171 The Truth emerges

The sky is getting dark, and tonight must be a sleepless night.

The Empress Dowager, who had been worshiping the Buddha in the Buddhist temple and did not ask about the harem, also learned about Qing Zhaoyi's misdelivery from Luer, which was extremely angry.

In the days when she was not in the palace, such a big thing happened in the palace. Naturally, she was very angry. Although she also learned that the emperor had dealt with Mo Ziyao and others, it was not a punishment compared with her son who had died.

At that moment, he left the Buddhist temple and returned to the Tairen Palace, and asked the maidservant to send all the concubines in the harem to the Tairen Palace to ask questions. And also asked Luer to invite the emperor to come over.

Mo Ziyao had been banned from going out in Yuyao Palace. At this time, the Empress Dowager asked her maidservant Lu'er to invite her in person. From Lu'er's cold expression, Mo Ziyao's heart suddenly had a bad feeling.

After asking Mo Ziyao, she learned that the Empress Dowager invited all the concubines in the harem, not alone. What does the Empress Dowager want to do?

When I walked to the door, I happened to meet Jing Chongyi and Li Chongyi. When they saw Mo Ziyao pass by, they quickly leaned over and saluted slightly, "My concubine has seen the Empress."

Mo Ziyao didn't care about looking at them, but only answered and went inside. In the room, the concubines in the room stood timidly and lowered their heads, and Yi Zhaorong sat next to the Empress Dowager. Yu Zhaoyi stood far away. When she saw Mo Ziyao, she cast a worried look at her.

The Empress Dowager's face was so gloomy, and she pulled the sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand. Seeing Mo Ziyao come in, she suddenly put away the Buddha beads in her hand, patted the table on her side, and hummed heavily.

It was the first time that the concubines under them were summoned by the empress dowager. They were scared. Hearing the empress dowager's anger humming, their knees softened, and they all bowed their heads and knelt down. The concubines, who often came to comfort the empress dowager, had long known that the empress dowager was only for Mo Ziyao and had nothing to do with them. They turned to look at Mo Ziyao, who had just entered the door. The eyes looking at her are different, pitiful, gloating, and secretly happy...

Mo Ziyao did not look at the crowd. She glanced slightly and never saw Ruan Lingzheng. She thought that the Tianze Palace where he lived was the farthest from Tairen Palace, and she had not arrived for a while. However, without seeing his figure, Mo Ziyao's heart was inevitably a little nervous and scared.

I wanted to salute the Empress Dowager. Looking at this situation, it seemed that the etiquette still gave up, so I fell to my knees and said, "My concubine, please say good to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager's face was calm and did not scream. She only heard her say in a cold voice, "Concubine Yao told the Ai family that the Ai family saw that you and Qing Zhaoyi were sisters, so she specially entrusted this burden to you, but I once thought that you actually poisoned Qing Zhaoyi's bird's nest with convenience! What an insidious mind!"

The empress dowager is not the emperor. She will not listen to Mo Ziyao's defense. Mo Ziyao also knew in her heart that it was better to endure waiting for politics, otherwise she would be more and more angry when she opened her mouth. After made up her mind, Mo Ziyao nod her head and chest, and her body fell lower. Those people underground also bowed their heads and dared not say a word.

At this time, I heard the Empress Dowager raise her voice and say, "Go and invite the two little maids in prison and the An Tai doctor to the mourning family!"

L'er answered and hurried to do it. After a while, the sound of shackles was heard outside the hall, and the three had been pushed in.

"The guilty minister An sw, I have met the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is blessed..." "The maidservant is red and beautiful spring, please send my best to the empress dowager. Good luck to the Empress Dowager. The three trembled all over and lay on the ground, even daring to raise their heads, but the bodies of the two maidservants were like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, shaking violently and trying to control their sob.

Mo Ziyao looked at the remaining light and saw three people wearing prison clothes, with dishevelled hair and scars on their faces. It seems that they have been tortured. No wonder the two maidservant are going to cry. I'm afraid they have never suffered such a crime.

The Empress Dowager said angrily, "The Empress Dowager is happy, the Empress Dowager is happy?" Now that you are the emperors who have harmed my Ruan family, how can you make your family happy?

Everyone shrank and dared not respond. The Empress Dowager swept her eyes fiercely at An Shu and roared angrily, "Doctor An!"

"Crime... the sinner is here." An Shu trembled and answered.

The Empress Dowager snorted, "Your family ordered you to invite Qing Zhaoyi to have a safe pulse. Is that how you invited your family?"

"Empress dowager, dowager forgive me..." Dr. An trembled, "I asked the Empress's pulse according to the usual practice, but...how can I know..."

He only said half of his words. He saw the bright yellow shadow strode out, kicked him in the chest, threw a pile of confession paper in his hand on his face, and said angrily, "Damn it! Do you still want to argue in front of the testimony?

"Your Majesty!" Dr. Liu stood up in pain and knelt down, and dared not make a second.

"The emperor's anger!" The concubines below said in unison.

He was angry, and the concubines all over the room also knelt down and lowered their heads. Mo Ziyao didn't look at his face, but she also knew that he was angry.

"Your Majesty." Hearing the voice of the Empress Dowager, then it was her voice when she got up. "The emperor sat down first and waited for the mourning family to interrogate them. Grandpa Jin presented the confession paper."

The Empress Dowager took the confession in her hand at will, then shook it heavily, snorted, and said coldly, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated! Huh? Why don't you see Yaofei's confession?

Ruan Lingzheng hurriedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with Yaofei."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and looked at Ruan Lingzheng in a calm voice and said, "Does the emperor want to favor Yao Fei despite the pain of losing her son?"

"No, the Empress Dowager, losing her child, I am more sad than the Empress Dowager, and I hate the poisoner more! But in pain, I will never be ignorant of emotions, and let go of the poisoned person. I specially went to treat Dr. Hu, who has deep gynecological qualifications, to take care of Qing Zhaoyi's pulse. Dr. Hu found..."

"What did you find?" The Empress Dowager frowned and asked.

"Doctor Hu is outside the palace, and the empress dowager can ask in person." With that, he took a look at Grandpa Jin beside him, and Grandpa Jin quickly shouted, "It's Dr. Hu to see you."

Mo Ziyao knelt on the ground and her knees were numb, but she didn't dare to move. She could feel that the Empress Dowager's sharp eyes had always been on her body. Doctor Hu, who knew that she was wearing an official uniform, came in and knelt down to salute, and the empress dowager's attention turned from herself to Dr. Hu next to her.

Although Dr. Hu is a veteran imperial doctor, he still trembled in front of the empress dowager and the emperor. After all, he was a person who found different situations after asking for Qing Zhaoyi. If what he said can't convince the Empress Dowager and the emperor, I'm afraid that he will lose his head.

Ya Zhaoyi, kneeling in front of the Empress Dowager, her eyes drifted from Mo Ziyao and Dr. Hu intentionally or unintentionally, and then she sank her eyes. The light in her eyes passed, and she didn't know what she was thinking. However, at this moment, everyone's attention was on the five people kneeling on the ground, and no one paid attention to her eyes.

The Empress Dowager didn't seem to have much patience. She looked at the people below fiercely and asked coldly, "Doctor Hu, I'm sorry to ask you, how is the imperial descendants in Qing Zhaoyi's womb?"

Dr. Hu lowered his head and said, "Go back... Back to the Empress Dowager, Qing Zhaoyi has been relatively weak after pregnancy, and there has always been a depressed atmosphere in her heart that is difficult to dissipate, resulting in unstable fetal image. I think this is the only way... will..."

"The depression is difficult to dissipate, resulting in unstable fetal image?" The empress dowager frowned and repeated the doctor's words, and suddenly sneered and said, "Are you a three-year-old child for your family and the emperor? Even if it's really as you said, Qing Zhaoyi's body is weak and her depression is difficult to dissipate after pregnancy, but this only causes the fetus to be unstable and she can recover after good recuperation. If she hadn't eaten a bird's nest containing musk and crane-capped red, how can she have a miscarriage?

Dr. Hu hurriedly said, "What the empress dowager said, but I found that Qing Zhaoyi had bleeding symptoms first, and then ate a small amount of bird's nest containing musk and red on the top of the crane. But here's what's strange."

"How to say?" The Empress Dowager leaned over and slowed down her voice.

"When I went there, I found that there were obvious musk powder and crane-red powder in the remaining bird's nest in the bowl on the table. A bright-eyed person could find it at a glance. Since it was so obvious, can't the Qing Zhaoyi Empress find it? So I saw that many bird's nests were also sprinkled on the ground, so I randomly checked the bird's nests that were scattered and found that there was no musk and crane red in it.

When Dr. Hu said this, he could not understand that it was actually the evil created by Qing Zhaoyi himself and had nothing to do with others.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was still very angry. She couldn't breathe and coughed violently. Luer stroked her chest and whispered, "The Empress Dowager, be careful of the phoenix." The Empress Dowager brushed her hand and stared at Dr. Hu and asked angrily, "Is that so?"

Dr. Hu said, "I dare not say a word of bullying."

Mo Ziyao has been hearing this to know that it is the same as what she guessed before. It's really Qing'er's self-directed and self-acted, but the child is also her own flesh and blood. How can she get it? While thinking about it, she suddenly heard the Empress Dowager shout, "How can it be? Since she dares to mutilate herself, Qing Zhaoyi is too vicious, isn't she?" There was the sound of teacup breaking not far behind her. Mo Ziyao saw a piece of debris flying towards her. She hurriedly blocked it with her hand, but suddenly felt a pain on her forehead. She couldn't help saying 'oops' and touching it with her hand, but felt that a warm ** drip fell on her eyes, and the scenery in front of her suddenly turned into A piece of blood red.

Then I heard an anxious, angry and distressed voice ringing in my ear: "What's wrong with Yaofei?" Mo Ziyao felt that she was in that familiar and warm embrace, and a big hand pressed the wound on her forehead to make her blood flow slower.

Ruan Lingzheng glared at the empress dowager and said in a low voice, "Empress dowager, this matter has nothing to do with Yao. What wrong has she made to provoke you? Do you want to punish her like this?"

The Empress Dowager didn't expect to just throw a cup casually. Why did she happen to hit Yao Fei's forehead? After all, the empress dowager was the empress dowager. In the face of Ruan Lingzheng's angry questioning, the bloody Concubine Yao was not scared. She just glanced at her and said, "Your Majesty, is this the tone you should have to talk to your family?"

Ruan Lingzheng was about to say more, but suddenly his arm was pulled by Mo Ziyao. Mo Ziyao said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the empress dowager. It's my concubine who is too careless."

The Empress Dowager said very appropriately, "Yes, Yaofei is too careless. Well, since this matter has nothing to do with her, the emperor will take her to the back for treatment first."

Ruan Lingzheng didn't say much. He picked up Mo Ziyao, hurried to the inner room, and ordered, "Doctor Hu, come in!"

Doctor Hu answered, looked up at the Empress Dowager, and quickly got up and followed her in.

The Empress Dowager's tense body was loose, and she glanced at the people kneeling down. She saw many concubines looking at Ruan Lingzheng's back holding Yao, with complicated eyes. How can the Empress Dowager not know their jealousy and resentment for Mo Ziyao?

Since the truth of this matter was revealed, the Empress Dowager did not want to look at these people's faces and gently waved her hand and said, "What are you all doing on your knees? The mourning family didn't blame you. Get up.

Everyone was not grateful, but stood up silently and stood aside.

At this time, Luer had already brought a cup of tea again. The Empress Dowager took a sip and put the cup heavily on the table. She said in a majestic voice, "Doctor An has not served well and is dismissed. Yanhong and Yanchun are really wronged. Remove the shackles and go back to the Baguio Palace. As for Qing Zhaoyi, this woman is vicious and deliberately plotted to kill the imperial heirs and frame her concubines. Such a narrow-minded and vicious person can't keep her in the palace. Give her to death.

The Empress Dowager looked coldly at the trembling and pale concubines below. She got up and didn't look at them again. She only turned to Lu'er beside her and said, "This child is really unlucky. I'm sorry to see her. It's getting late. Let's all break up."

After the Empress Dowager was angry, she should remember to shock the concubines fiercely. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need for them to stay.
