Full-level real daughter: first-class female forensic doctor

Chapter 58 The Queen
After everyone sat down, the palace officials began to serve the food. At the same time, a row of women with lotus sleeves and skin-colored clothes came in from outside and started dancing gracefully on a platform several feet high in the middle.

These dancers look ordinary, but all of them have real skills. The woman in the middle can bend back to the end and then rise up easily.

Xinnuo, who had never seen such an advanced dance before, watched it with great interest until the sound of scolding came from the main seat, followed closely by the shouts of "protect the emperor and catch the assassin".

Hearing the assassin, Xinnuo was confused at first. The women on this stage all danced very well.

Then he reacted and looked up.

The little chamberlain who had reported to Chu Wei that bird's nests were poisonous was now kneeling far away from the emperor with a bright broadsword on his neck.

Emperor Xining said: "He Jiuxi, ask him who ordered it."

The emperor's clear voice came over, with a hint of sullenness in his majesty.

He Jiuxi pressed down the big knife in his hand and said, "Speak."

There was a plate of dishes scattered at the feet of the young chamberlain, and the poison-testing eunuch stood aside shaking his silver chopsticks.

The little chamberlain looked at the emperor and empress above him, as if he knew he could not escape. His eyes were full of determination, and he suddenly said loudly: "Your Highness, King Huan, I can no longer avenge you."

Interestingly, he shouted, glanced down abruptly, and then bumped his neck against the sharp blade.

Many people subconsciously closed their eyes, not daring to look at the scene of blood splatter that might appear next.The queen couldn't bear to turn her head to the side, and nervously grasped the big palace lady standing beside her with her hands.

But He Jiuxi retracted the knife in time, and the servant fell to the ground.

The queen's hand holding the eldest palace maid's arm tightened. At this time, Emperor Xining suddenly asked: "The queen can't bear to see this scene?"

A bad premonition came over her, and the queen laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it was too sudden. I was not prepared."

It would be a lie to say that the queen in charge of the harem could not tolerate bloody scenes.

What Emperor Xining hated the most were people who were hypocritical.

"What do you think of this cheap slave?" Emperor Xining asked again.

The words she had prepared in advance rolled over and over in her mouth, but she did not say them completely in the end. The queen said seriously: "I don't believe that His Highness would take action against Your Majesty. It must be this slave who has made his own decisions. Dare to murder Your Majesty and destroy the nine tribes?" Not too much."

Emperor Xining was very interested and said: "Oh? From what I see, it doesn't look like Zhou Jin's unfilial son would send someone to do such a serious crime of treason that would be punished with a person's head. If he really wanted to commit it, he wouldn't find someone like this. He was betrayed without even being punished. So, who is going to take this opportunity to add insult to injury to King Huan?"

The emperor's voice was deep and dangerous, and his opaque eyes turned from the queen to the princes sitting below.

Except for the prince, everyone else was trembling.

"Tell me, did you participate in today's matter?" Emperor Xining stood up, walked to the edge of the steps, and looked at the sons below.

The first prince stood up quickly, knelt down and said, "My son and I are scared."

The third prince and others followed closely.

This change caused the singing and dancing at the scene to stop unconsciously. Some minor officials at the edge of the hall realized belatedly that something big had happened.

"Afraid, someone put arsenic into my soup bowl. Are you afraid?" The suddenly raised voice echoed in the hall. For a moment, everyone's face became serious, and they left the table and knelt down.

Emperor Xining shouted: "Dali Temple Qingzhuang Dingrong, come here, you must find out for me today what kind of monster is hidden behind this servant."

The queen's face suddenly turned pale, and she didn't even dare to look at the little chambermaid.

Zhuang Dingrong was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old. He was very good at judging cases. He immediately stepped out and, with the emperor's permission, stepped onto the high platform.

He followed the direction where the servant was looking just before he claimed to avenge King Huan, and then he lowered his head and said to Emperor Xining: "Your Majesty, this person just glanced at Mr. Chu. I wonder if it has something to do with Mr. Chu."

Emperor Xining chuckled and said, "Chu Wei, come up and accept Mr. Zhuang's questioning."

"Your Majesty, I think that Wei'er's loyalty to you is a lesson to heaven and earth," the queen suddenly interjected, "This bitch was definitely not ordered by Wei'er. If you ask for questioning in public, wouldn't you be hurting your ancestors and grandchildren?" Love?"

Chu Wei walked up the steps and said, "Thank you for your excuse, Queen Mother, but I am not afraid of confrontation for anything I have never done before. Moreover, the glance just given by this little chamberlain must have been noticed by more than just Mr. Zhuang. If I don't ask clearly at this time, I am not afraid of confrontation." Not at ease."

While talking, Chu Wei had already walked up.

He was tall, with broad shoulders and thin waist, and his back was like green pines and cypresses on the mountains. After turning around, his handsome face made many women below dare not look directly at him.

Zhuang Dingrong's questioning began, "You keep saying you want to avenge His Highness King Huan, why are you looking at Mr. Chu?"

The young chamberlain's eyes were wandering and he hesitated for a moment, wanting to get some hints from the Queen, but he didn't dare because of the Queen's words just now.

Finally, he had to say: "I just glanced at it casually, it doesn't mean anything."

"You said you wanted to avenge King Huan, but King Huan hasn't been convicted yet, are you deliberately framing King Huan?" Zhuang Dingrong asked again.

The young chamberlain denied: "No, I did something wrong because I was angry for His Highness. All of this has nothing to do with His Highness."

Zhuang Dingrong ignored the waiter's anxious denial and asked again: "Where did you get the arsenic in this dish?"

The little chamberlain murmured: "I don't know, I don't know."

He really didn't know that in the Empress's script, he should have committed suicide after looking at Ruiminghou.

This would naturally arouse suspicion, and in addition, Rui Minghou did have a conversation with him before the banquet. Although the dead person can no longer speak, it can become evidence that will continue to increase the persuasiveness.

What's more, Marquis Ruiming went to the imperial dining room before the banquet.

So, no matter how much the emperor trusts Ruiminghou, this is fertile ground for doubt to grow.
