Chapter 148 Interrogation
"Your Majesty, you don't need to ask. I know the truth." Just as they were complaining for each other, a person suddenly walked in from outside the palace, and it was the Holy King Zhao Yuanzhang.

He has already returned to normal, and has changed into a clean robe, but he can still vaguely see that the tail of his hair still seems to be a little wet.

Everyone in the palace was stunned when they saw Zhao Yuanzhang's arrival. At the same time, they also understood that during the period when the Holy King disappeared, he must have gone to search for evidence. In this palace, the Holy King can go in and out of all places. rights given.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Yuanli stepped forward and bowed slightly to salute, "I have already searched the palace where the Concubine Liang and Miss Si are located, and found residual medicine in the indoor incense burner, so it can be concluded that the intrusion into the room was not accidental, but rather It has a purpose."

"According to today's patrolling guards, I saw Concubine Liang's maid Zhiqiu meeting Miss Si." Zhao Yuanzhang looked at Zhiqiu and said: "Although it was only a short conversation, it is enough to prove that Concubine Liang and Miss Si It’s not entirely disjointed.”

"The attendant outside the hall asked, Miss Si stepped out of the hall first, and then stepped into the side hall to rest." Zhao Yuanzhang's eyes were indifferent, but he looked at Si Qionglian with great certainty and said: "It can be seen that what Miss Si said is a lie."

"From the very beginning, Miss Si chose this place as a resting place. Why?" Zhao Yuanzhang looked at Si Qiong with extremely sharp eyes and asked.

"Your Majesty, here I have to add something in person." Zhao Yuanzhang turned his face to look at Zhao Zongheng again and said: "I feel unwell and want to leave the table to rest for a while, but I met a young eunuch who was unfamiliar and tried to help me The palace to go to is exactly the palace that Miss Si entered first."

"It can be seen that what is planned this time is related to the minister."

After Zhao Yuanzhang's words fell, the hall seemed to fall into a brief silence.

Si Ningchi's eyes brightened slightly, and she wanted to applaud Zhao Yuanzhang very much. Although she didn't like Zhao Yuanzhang at all, she had to admit that he was not completely useless as the hero, at least when it came to matters involving the emperor. , he can handle it very calmly.

"Sho Xingchen has deep internal strength and still has a ray of sobriety. He left the palace and left first, and then met the empress." Zhao Yuanli's eyes fell on Si Ningchi, and his light eyes seemed to be telling something inexplicably.

But he didn't say anything, instead he looked down at Concubine Liang and said, "As for why Concubine Liang appeared in Miss Si's palace..."

Zhao Yuanli frowned slightly and said, "I haven't found out yet."

Concubine Liang lifts her heart and puts it down, a bit of panic in her daze.

"However, it's worth mentioning that..." Zhao Yuanzhao waved his hand and brought up a young eunuch outside the hall: "I have excellent eyesight, and when the emperor was interrogating, I also sent someone to arrest the one who tried to let me enter the palace." The little eunuch asked."

"I found out some interesting things." The little eunuch was covered in scars, and it was obvious that he had endured brutal torture during this short period of time.

"Concubine Liang." Zhao Yuanli threw a bag of things in front of Concubine Liang and said, "Do you recognize this thing?"

Concubine Liang trembled in fright, and looked at the thing thrown in front of her eyes in horror. It was a cloth bag stained with this mud, and the thing in the cloth bag was nothing else, she asked someone to try to buy it. She buried the medicine and the remaining jars under the tree in the backyard of Yufu Palace.

Concubine Liang's heart almost stopped in fright, and before she could react, the little eunuch kneeling beside her covered in blood choked up and cried, "Your Majesty, forgive me, slave... The slave recruited everything..."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Liang felt her whole body spinning, and she slumped on the ground.

"What do you mean!?" Princess Chaoyang noticed something was wrong, she quickly stood up and asked, "What does the emperor mean, and what does this matter have to do with Concubine Liang!?"

"Since it's the palace where Si Qionglian went, it's obvious that she has a plan!" Princess Chaoyang pointed at Si Qionglian and said coldly.

"Who does the princess think pointed out the way for Miss Si?" Zhao Yuanzhang looked up at Princess Chaoyang, and said indifferently: "In the palace, Miss Si, as the daughter of a foreign minister, arranged this matter. The princess thinks that the so-called banned drugs Who prepared it for Miss Si?"

After asking a few words, Princess Chaoyang's heart sank a little bit, and her eyes fell on Concubine Liang, as if she wanted to hear Concubine Liang speak out.

Concubine Liang obviously has no room for defense. Zhao Yuanli's next words completely blocked all concubine Liang's escape routes. The palace people of Yufu Palace have all been interrogated. revealed.

The forbidden medicine was brought in by Mrs. Liu, as for what Mrs. Liu and Concubine Liang said, it is not difficult to guess.

"You have a relationship with that stepwife of the Marquis of Xiwu!?" Princess Chaoyang is not a fool, she has already spoken to this point, how could she not know that her complexion changed immediately, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide to look at Liang Concubine, she never told her.

"Princess, no, no..." Concubine Liang finally came to her senses after being asked by Princess Chaoyang. She seemed to understand that only Princess Chaoyang could save her now.

"The concubine was wronged!" Concubine Liang hurriedly crawled towards Princess Chaoyang, crying, "It's the Liu family, it's the Liu family who coerced the concubine."

"The concubine is only showing Miss Si the way, she doesn't know anything else!" Concubine Liang was still stubborn at this moment, refusing to admit what she had done.

"Perhaps the concubine concubine recognizes this person." Zhao Yuanli was not in a hurry at all, and turned his head to ask someone to bring up another court lady, who was none other than serving wine for Zhao Yuanli at the banquet maid of honor.

All Concubine Liang's excuses were stuck in her throat, she forced herself to bite her tongue to calm herself down, looked at Princess Chaoyang with tears in her eyes, and said, "Princess, if my concubine wants to harm the Holy King, how can I let myself be hit too?" The poison?"

I have to say that Concubine Liang's words are indeed on point. If Concubine Liang is to help Si Qiong and the Holy King, how could she be in such a situation?

There must be other things that have not been ascertained.

"Your Majesty, I have never found out why Concubine Liang appeared in the palace." Zhao Yuanzhang frowned slightly and said, "No one has ever seen Concubine Liang enter the house, whether it is from the mouth of the serving maids or guards. .”

"In this way, there is still doubt about this matter." Zhao Zongheng cast his eyes on Concubine Liang, and said in a neutral tone: "However, the evidence that Concubine Liang framed the Holy King is conclusive."

"There are all witnesses and material evidence." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Come here, take him to the Punishment Department."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty—" Concubine Liang was terrified. Seeing Zhao Zongheng's ruthlessness, she begged Princess Chaoyang: "Princess, my concubine was wronged! Princess—"
