Chapter 395: Serial Bureau: Gold
Ziyuan was stunned. She didn't expect her sensitive reaction to become a flaw at this time. Her heart changed and she didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
Seeing Ziyuan's first eloquent teeth, Empress Zhang immediately said, "Princes Ding is eloquent, which is really admirable to the palace, but now the simple verbal dispute is meaningless. Now the evidence is conclusive. The mother died of poisoned orchid. Today, the only meal she used is the emerald white jade flower you made by Princess Ding, and now the poison of poisoned orchid has been detected in the remnants. The evidence is conclusive. Instead of arguing with a maid, Princess Ding should first find a way to prove that she has not been poisoned. Otherwise, even if you are clever and talk nonsense, you can't escape this rebellious crime!"
Lightly erased the flaws in Ziyuan's words, and only clenched the emerald white jade flower, which was done by Zichu, and did not pursue anything else.
"The Queen's words are inappropriate. At first glance, the evidence is conclusive, but in fact there are many flaws!"
Zichu looked calm and said calmly, "First of all, if I really poisoned my mother, where did the poison of the poisonous orchid come from? I entered the palace this time because the emperor's birthday was approaching and my mother was particularly loving, so I and Dingwang stayed in the Magnolia Palace for a while. In addition, last night, it was my father and mother who made a temporary decree that I and Ding Wang would come to have tea and talk about my family. I originally thought that I would go back to rest after coming here, so how could I bring toxic drugs with me?
Then, Zichu continued: "Secondly, I was ordered to visit my father and mother, but my mother proposed to eat emerald white jade flowers and begged me to do it. Can I have an uncertain ability? I expect that my mother will make such a request to give me a chance to poison and murder my mother? Finally, when I was cooking in the kitchen last night, I was accompanied by a maid and father-in-law in my mother's harem. They could see clearly what I had done and testify to me that I had never poisoned, let alone murdered my mother and Princess Hui. Please also ask your father and the emperor to learn from it!"
Zichu said, deeply blessed and described that he had been extremely wronged.
"I'm afraid these reasons for setting the princess can't be established, right? Not to mention how you brought poison - you can naturally find out in the future - you said that the emerald white jade flower was what the empress do, but you often go in and out of Yihe Palace, often come into contact with the empress dowager's diet, and give birth to poisoned thoughts, but the empress dowager just wanted the emerald white jade flower and gave you the best poison. Just an opportunity! As for the witness you mentioned,"
Shen Guicubine sneered and said, "Princess Ding, don't you know the law of the Jinxu Dynasty? Slaves can't testify to their masters! How can you believe the testimony of your personal maid?
"Linglong is indeed my personal maid," Zichu said in a low voice, "However, there were so many chefs in the small kitchen last night. They can always testify for me and prove my innocence, right?"
Shen Guicubine was stunned and couldn't speak for a moment.
She habitually regards the people of Yi and the palace and the Empress Dowager as one. In her opinion, Linglong is Song Zichu's confidant. Of course, she can't testify for Song Zichu.
But for a moment, she forgot that the rest of the people in the small kitchen were the people of Yi and the palace, which had nothing to do with Song Zichu himself, and they were the palace people of the Empress Dowager. If they testified for Zichu, I'm afraid the emperor and the emperor would only accept it!
Ye Heminglu and Jun Yuskun were relieved when they heard the words. Fortunately, they were not confused at this time, and they were able to find a witness to prove their innocence at this critical moment!
Shen Guicon was frustrated repeatedly. She was unwilling to give up like this and gritted her teeth and said, "The kitchen chefs are also ordered to follow you and can't notice your every move. How can their words prove it?"
"Shen Guicubine, what do you mean by this? You know that the people in the small kitchen are all around the mother. If you are not a credible person, how can you make daily meals for the mother? But now, you say that they can't testify. Do you think I colluded with these cooks to fabricate lies and hide the truth?
Zichu's eyes showed a slight sharpness and quietly stared at Shen Guifei.
"You!...... Humph, princess, are you exhausted? Ziyuan has already said that at that time, the people in the small kitchen were ordered by the princess to make the group turn around. Everyone has their own things to do. How can they have time to pay attention to you? Even if there is, it is impossible to pay attention to you from beginning to end!"
Shen Guicubine finally seemed to have found a breakthrough again. She sneered and bent the corners of her mouth with a smile, thinking that she must have hit it this time.
Zichu ignored these fools at all and said, "Father, emperor, I ask you to summon Yi and the maid of honor in the small kitchen."
Emperor Jun Yusun looked at the emperor who was meditating, and finally nodded and said, "Xuan!"
There was something wrong with the meal of Empress Dowager Nalan, so that the Empress Dowager Nalan died suddenly. The people in the small kitchen had been detained for a long time. Hearing the emperor's will, they quickly brought them here. More than 20 people knelt down in the room. Hearing the emperor asking about the process of making emerald white jade flowers at the beginning of last night, everyone suddenly chattered Tell what you know.
"I just accompanied Princess Ding to choose the ingredients. After choosing the ingredients, Princess Ding asked the maidservant the best cook. The maidservant said it was Chef Zhang and took Princess Ding to find Chef Zhang. I didn't know the rest."
"The maidservant is Chef Zhang. Princess Ding said that she was not good at cutting knives, so she asked the maidservant to help cut vegetables. After cutting it, I asked the maidservant what kind of soup she liked. The maidservant is only good at knife work. The Empress Dowager has always liked Chef Sun's soup, and then the maidservant took the princess to find Chef Sun. I don't know what happened later.
"The slave and the cook..."
......
At the beginning, Shen Guicubine still had a proud smile on her face. According to the report of these chefs, it was obvious that no one followed Song Zichu from beginning to end, and there would always be a gap in the middle to poison Song Zichu.
But listening, they gradually realized that something was wrong. None of these cooks followed Song Zichu from beginning to end, but from Song Zichu left the seat and came to the small kitchen, from selecting ingredients to cutting vegetables, to stew soup, mixing juice, side dishes, to sending emerald white jade flowers to Empress Dowager Nalan, each At the stage, people in the small kitchen followed Song Zichu, and the previous person took Song Zichu to the next person, leaving no gap in the middle.
That is to say, although there is no one staring at Song Zichu from beginning to end, these people always guarantee that Song Zichu will always be surrounded by Yi and the maid of honor in the small kitchen, and they have never been alone for a moment.
This is by no means a coincidence. Song Zichu did it on purpose. She simply saw through the thoughts of Empress Dowager Nalan and came prepared!
Concubine Shen and Empress Zhang finally realized this fact and were shocked and angry.
Indeed, these are not coincidences, but deliberately designed and arranged.
When the Empress Dowager Nalan sang with Ziyuan and asked her to make emerald white jade flowers for the Empress Dowager Nalan, but did not send someone to follow the supervision, but let her go to the small kitchen alone, Song Zichu guessed that the Empress Dowager Nalan had bad intentions and was likely to use her in the dishes to frame her. Moreover, Zichu did not ignore it. After Princess Hui came by herself, she came to thank the Empress Dowager Nalan.
Empresses Hui is pregnant, and her child is the emperor. For the wife of Empress Dowager Nalan, she must be a thorn in the eyes. She can really be so virtuous and generous, not only to promote the position of Princess Hui, but also to get along well with her sisters?
Zichu didn't believe it. If so, she and the Empress Dowager Nalan would not have been like this until now.
But if the Empress Dowager Nalan really wants to deal with herself, she will definitely find a way to disturb the small kitchen and confuse everyone's sight, so that she can have a poisonous gap. Instead of letting the Empress Dowager Nalan design, she might as well arrange it herself.
So, she deliberately mobilized the maid of honor in the small kitchen, making everyone in a hurry.
But this chaos is only superficial. Song Zichu carefully used various excuses to ensure that there are maids in Yi and Gong's small kitchen around her all the time, so that even if the Empress Dowager Nalan wants to play bitter meat tricks in the future, these people with small kitchens can at least ensure that she will not be planted by the Empress Dowager Nalan.
However, what I didn't expect was that although Zichu was repeatedly careful, in the end, the Empress Dowager Nalan was really poisoned, accusing her of forcing herself to become Queen Zhang, but fortunately, her original arrangement still came in handy.
After Zichu finished speaking, he stared thoughtfully at the two people, Empress Zhang and Shen Gui, and said lightly, "Empress, you don't think that Yi and the maid of honor in the small kitchen of the palace have already been bought by me. At this time, will you help me lie?"
Of course, this is impossible. If Zichu could buy all these cooks, he could have ordered them to taunt the diet of the Empress Dowager Nalan. Why did he have to do it himself and put himself in such a suspicious place?
Empress Zhang immediately realized that Zichu had already had a countermeasure in front of her. She was cold and reminded herself to deal with it carefully before thinking, "If it is decided that the princess has never done anything in her diet, then the poison of poisonous orchid..."
"The emerald white jade flowers I cooked are all under my eyes, and I can be sure that everything is fine. But after the mother had a meal, the dish was cleaned by the Ziyuan girl. From the time Miss Ziyuan took away the leftovers, until now, I have no idea what happened in the middle!"
Song Zichu's words were implicit, but anyone could hear them. What she meant was that the poison of poisonous orchids in this remnant dish was probably because Ziyuan took the remnants of the dishes and took the opportunity to slander her.
Thinking about the loopholes in Ziyuan's previous words, people were a little suspicious for a while, but most of them were inclined to believe Zichu's defense.
"This is really strange. So many people can connect the whole process of cooking emerald white jade flowers in the small kitchen one by one, proving the innocence of the princess at this time. This kind of thing doesn't look like a coincidence, does it? Did the princess expect to be suspected of being poisoned, so she prepared in advance and let these people testify for you?
