Chapter 414: Infighting

And the maid, who was called Qingyun, was originally afraid of despair because of the emperor's imperial edict to kill Yi and all the people in the palace. Suddenly, she was named by Ziying and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her body. She was even more at a loss. She changed her body and trembled and said in panic, "Sister Ziying, what are you talking about? Question mark I didn't, I didn't! It's not me, don't talk nonsense!"

When Empress Zhang saw someone spreading branches, she frowned and wanted to scold her. Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Ziying.

"Don't argue anymore! I didn't know it was you. I remembered it when I saw the poisoned ginseng box just now!"

Ziying's voice was fierce and pressed step by step. She refused to give her any time to breathe. She said harshly, "Although the Empress Dowager has been ill for a long time, she has never been mean to us maids. Even if she scolded you before, it was because you did something wrong. If it were another palace owner, I would have killed you long ago. But the Empress Dowager just punished you monthly and transferred you to the warehouse as a errand. Such a generous kindness, not only did he not appreciate it, but also revenged him, so he plotted to kill the Empress Dowager! Qingyun, you are really a wolf, not as good as a pig or a dog!"

Speaking of later, Ziying's expression was almost ferocious and frightening.

"No, I don't resent the Empress Dowager!" Looking at Ziying's look, Qingyun was even more panicked, "I don't resent the punishment of the Empress Dowager. I did something wrong. I really didn't!"

"Then why did you harm the Empress Dowager? Did others give you any benefits? For a little money, he betrayed the Empress Dowager and secretly killed the whole palace. Qingyun, you are really too vicious!"

Ziying bit Qingyun tightly and seemed to be sure that she was the murderer of the Empress Dowager Nalan.

"You despicable and coward bastard killed the empress dowager and dare not admit it. Now you still have to pull everyone to die with you. Usually, we all treat you well. Let's talk about it. Why on earth are you so cruel?"

"Sister Ziying, don't talk nonsense, I didn't! I really don't!" Qingyun has been completely messed up.

"Are you still denying it? You said you didn't. What evidence do you have to prove that you didn't?

Ziying scolded sharply, "You just resented the Empress Dowager for scolding you, so you deliberately killed her? Because Qiaoyi and I helped the Empress Dowager scold you at that time. You hold a grudge and even want to kill us, right? That day, I saw clearly that you sneaked into the warehouse, stood in front of the ginseng box for a long time, and added the poison of beauty fragrance to the ginseng, right? At that time, it was three o'clock. You were wearing the grass-green embroidered iris palace costume and gold passion flowering, right? Did I say anything wrong?

was overwhelmed by Ziying's series of questions. Hearing the last words, Qingyun shouted without thinking about it.

"No, I went in in the middle of the night yesterday, not three o'clock. You can't see my clothes at all--"

Suddenly realizing what he had said, Qingyun suddenly stopped and covered his mouth with his hands, but he could not take back what he blurted out. Qingyun slowly put down his hands, collapsed to the ground weakly, and cried bitterly.

This change was so sudden that everyone in the hall was stunned on the spot and has not even been able to react yet.

What the hell is going on? Hasn't the Empress Dowager Nalan passed away for several days? This is about to be funeral. Why did the maid of honor go to the warehouse last night?

And the most shocking of this is Empress Zhang and the emperor.

Seeing that the evidence is conclusive, even the emperor can only defend on the side, but he can't prove Zichu's innocence. Seeing that Zichu is about to be guilty, how can the universe suddenly turn around? So the murderer is someone else?

Also, Song Zichu had no contact with Qingyun. How could she know that Qingyun poisoned ginseng and ordered Ziying to force Qingyun to find out the truth? Is it confused, but how can it be so coincidental?

In fact, what Queen Zhang is puzzled is that Zichu's speculation is not chaotic.

As early as she saw the body of Empress Dowager Nalan, she was analyzing the whole matter. At first, she could only be sure that Empress Dowager Nalan was not poisoned by emerald white jade flowers, but in addition, there was no more information and clues to reveal the truth.

If Queen Zhang is involved in the whole matter, but if she does not speak and does not reveal flaws, even Zichu can testify to her for a while.

But when she encounters such a good opportunity, how can Queen Zhang let it go? She planned a strategy to make Qiaoyi appear, saying that ginseng was poisonous, and Song Zichu immediately realized that this was a breakthrough point.

The ginseng was definitely tamped, so Empress Zhang dared to slander and frame her like this.

So, who is tampant in ginseng? This person must be ordered by Empress Zhang to act. As long as she can find this person, she can not only clear her grievances, but also point the finger at Empress Zhang.

Although Qiaoyi is the confidant of the Empress Dowager and Empress Zhang, Song Zichu believes that the person who poisoned is by no means Qiaoyi.

The reason is very simple. The Empress Dowager received a lot of supplements because of her illness, so there are many ginsengs in Yi and the palace warehouse. If it is impossible to determine what kind of ginseng the king will send to the Empress Dowager Nalan, Empress Zhang will never order people to poison them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be leaked in advance?

However, when Wang Junyuchen comes to send ginseng, it is time to give ginseng to Qiaoyi, and then Qiaoyi collects it into the warehouse.

Generally speaking, the process is extremely short, and in full view of the public, the Empress Dowager Nalan and King Ding are present, so it is not easy to poison them.

And the empress dowager is a very cautious person. When she was first sick, Jun Yuchen hinted at her that someone might have poisoned her, and the imperial doctor also said that her pulse was faintly like a sign of poisoning, so the empress dowager must be on this.

And the tonic diet itself is easy to be tamped with, so every time the things given to the Empress Dowager Nalan have been tested by the doctor and followed Qiaoyi all the way to Yihe Palace. If you do your hands and feet when you go to participate in the ginseng, you will definitely be examined by the road doctor. After that, there was a doctor who followed all the way, and it was even more impossible to do things.

Therefore, the poison in the ginseng was never added before Ding Wang sent it to Yihe Palace, but after arriving at the warehouse of Yihe Palace.

In other words, in addition to Qiaoyi, there are also people from Empress Zhang in the palace!

This is so interesting. Not only was it unexpected, but I'm afraid that even Taishanghuang and Junyu and his son will fall down.

Because the close maids of honor of the Empress Dowager Nalan, such as Qiaoyi Ziying and others, not only were born in the Nalan clan, but also had a relationship with the honor and disgrace with the Empress Dowager Nalan from the moment they entered the palace.

If the Empress Dowager Nalan can recover from a serious illness, the emperor will naturally reward the people around her, and as long as the Empress Dowager Nalan does not fall, these court ladies will also be proud. On the contrary, if the Empress Dowager Nalan dies, the crime of dereliction of duty of these maids will not escape, and they will probably be buried with her. The opposite result is like a world of difference. No one with a mind will choose to die, but also choose the latter. Therefore, this poisoner should not be the personal maid of Empress Dowager Nalan.

But if it is a sweeping or rough maid, it is impossible to enter the warehouse and poison the ginseng.

Therefore, this poisoned person should be between the close body and mind of the Empress Dowager Nalan and the rough maids of honor. With the considerable trust of the Empress Dowager Nalan to enter the warehouse, she is not a particularly confidant and will not be buried because of the death of the Empress Dowager Nalan.

There will not be too many such people in any palace. Before Zichu, he tentatively asked Ziying. When he learned that the eunuchs who could enter the warehouse today were on the spot, he paid special attention to the demeanor of the people.

Sure enough, the green clouds in which she noticed in white grass-patterned clothes looked different. While having the grief and fear of other eunuchs, she seemed to have a little panic and guilty, her eyes flinched, and did not dare to look at Jun Yuchen at all.

But at the same time, she seems to pay special attention to the progress of the situation, with unconcealed prayers and hopes in her eyes.

Of course, but only these can't conclude that Qingyun is the poisoner.

So, Zichu simply asked Jun Yuchen for help, knocked on the mountain to shock the tiger, beat the grass to startle the snake, and deliberately spoke to the emperor and the emperor, demanding that all the eunuchs of the whole Yihe palace be buried with him.

Because if Qingyun is really a poisoner, she must hold hope that she is willing to poison ginseng, because she is not a close maid of honor and is unlikely to be executed and buried with. If this hope is suddenly broken, she will know that she will also get rid of it. Under such a sudden blow, she will definitely show some flaws.

Sure enough, after the emperor ordered Yi and all the palace people in the palace to be buried, Qingyun seemed to be stunned, indescribable panic and fear, with a trace of regret, and then his eyes turned around, as if he wanted to ask someone for help.

This made Zichu confirm that Qingyun was a poisoner, because she was instructed, and the person who instructed her at the beginning must have said that she was not a close maid of honor and would not be executed to comfort her.

Now there is a sudden change, shrouded in the shadow of death, and you will subconsciously feel cheated by that person and want to argue or ask for help, so your eyes are privately shaken, flustered, and look different from others.

Confirmed that Qingyun was a poisoner, and he was already confused. Zichu immediately pointed his finger at her.

Before, Ziying had been ordered by Zichu. Later, as long as she saw her pointing her finger at someone, she would immediately assault the man and insisted that it was the man who poisoned the Empress Dowager Nalan.

It is also necessary to appreciate Ziying's keen mind. She has been serving the Empress Dowager Nalan. Although her previous status is not as good as Qiaoyi, she is also the miry of the Empress Dowager Nalan. For this princess, who made the Empress Dowager Nalan feel a headache and did not dare to pinch it at will, she not only looked on coldly, but also risked gambling this time because of her confidence in Zichu's wisdom and means.
