Chapter 80
Looking at the trembling palace servants kneeling down, Emperor Zhaowu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Today, you have all come into contact with golden hairs. Tell me, who poisoned you. If you tell me now, I will spare your lives." , if it is found out afterwards, it will not be as simple as punishment!"

The palace people who didn't know why heard what Emperor Zhaowu said and begged for mercy in fear. "Your Majesty, please spare me, even if you give the slaves a hundred courage, they would not dare to do such a thing..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the servants were wronged..."

These servants are all the people who take care of the golden retriever in General Xiao's house on weekdays. In the past, they had the most contact with the golden retriever. If they were poisoned, they would be the easiest to get.

"Could it be Miss Ning San, you hate Miss Xiao for asking you to see a doctor for her pet, so you can't be angry enough to do such a thing?" The person who spoke was sitting under the empress, wearing a bright palace dress. She is almost the same, with curved eyebrows and almond eyes, small nose and red lips, and a slightly pointed face looking at Ning Erlan with a disgusted expression.

Ning Erlan looked at the woman sitting next to her without any trace. Before coming to the imperial city, Guan Furan gave her a map of the relationship between the characters in the imperial city. Noble lady, she must be Princess Shao Wen, the immediate younger sister of the current Emperor. I heard that the son-in-law died of illness five years ago, and the woman who spoke is Princess Shao Wen's only daughter, Princess Wenhua.

"All things have their own laws, and the golden retriever is also a living thing in this world. Erlan will never feel resentment or shame for his medical treatment." Ning Erlan said with a chuckle, and she was telling everyone by saying this If you want to humiliate her with this joke, then there is no need, because it is not offensive to her.

Hearing that Emperor Zhaowu looked at Ning Erlan with more searching eyes.

"Hmph, speaking is better than singing, you are the most suspicious of all people, not to mention that you just used an excuse to change clothes! Maybe it was to throw away the poison that was originally hidden on your body!" Xiao Jinling didn't care about Ning What Er Lan said was that she insisted that she killed Jin Mao.

"Yeah, maybe the medicine has been thrown somewhere on the road, how can you find it if you want to find it if the palace is so big?"

"Yes, but it's not surprising. Those who come from a small place have never seen much of the world, and they don't know who they can't offend."

"Yes."

Many people at the banquet focused their attention on Ning Erlan again because of Xiao Jinling's words.

"Your Majesty, the girl has not been poisoned, so please check it out." Ning Erlan didn't care what others said, turned around and knelt down in front of Emperor Zhaowu and said in a deep voice.The only way to eliminate the suspicion on her is to find the real poisoner.Many people at the banquet had listened to Xiao Jinling's words and already had preconceived opinions about her, no matter what she tried to justify, it was useless.

This is the courage of power.

She is just the daughter of a businessman, and she will not be looked down upon by these powerful people who claim to be a master. Maybe what they want to know is not the truth, but who entertained themselves in the end.

"Besides, when women enter the palace, there are palace officials who can only enter the palace after inspection. Miss Xiao believes that I poisoned you, which means that the emperor's palace officials are not good at doing things, or they have given me bribes to bring poison into the palace. Come?" Ning Erlan's words brought everyone back to their senses, her words were indeed correct, perhaps high-ranking and powerful people could avoid routine inspections by entering the palace, but no matter how many powerless people like the Ning family The money is unavoidable, because it is related to the safety of the emperor, and no one dares to despise it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Cao Min's family was inspected when they entered the palace, and everything they had on them was recorded." Ning Guoan hesitated again and again, but decided to come out and stand on Ning Er's side with the Ning family's position. Lan here.In fact, he would not believe that it was Ning Erlan who poisoned the dog.Who puts a pack of poison on the pet of someone they've never met?
"There are so many people entering the palace, it's normal for them to be negligent sometimes, as long as they hide well, there will be no mistakes." Xiao Jinling didn't expect Ning Erlan to be eloquent. She never admits defeat, how could she So easy to let go?
"Let the maid who took Miss Ning San to change her dress just now come up." Emperor Zhaowu frowned and ordered to the palace servants beside him.

Not long after, the maid was brought up.

"Tell me, did you notice anything unusual when you took Miss Ning San to change her dress?"

"My servant, I didn't find anything abnormal. Miss Ning San waited quietly after entering the room, and came back after the dress was brought and changed." The maid replied truthfully.

"Father, this matter is probably not caused by Third Miss Ning. Third Miss and Jin Ling have never met before. If there is no injustice or enmity, why do you need to prepare a pack of poison to harm Jin Mao?" Wei Ziming seemed to be unable to understand Xiao Jinling's target. , and spoke for Ning Erlan.

"Brother Ming, why do you always defend this pariah? Could it be that she not only seduced Brother Ling, but also you? That's why you speak for her?" Xiao Jinling looked at Wei Ziming angrily. Helping Ning Erlan made her feel very angry!They often played together when they were children, shouldn't they always be on their side?
Hearing this, Wei Ziming's gentle and handsome face sank slightly.

"Jin Ling, don't mess around, is this what a general lady like you said?" Xiao Jinling's words were really unpleasant, and it was even more impolite to come from the mouth of a lady from an official family.

Wei Ziming's words were approved by Emperor Zhaowu. "Since you don't say who poisoned the golden retriever, search your body, find out who poisoned the golden retriever, and execute him immediately. What I mean by searching is to search everyone!" Emperor Zhaowu said without any room for comment. .The banquet hall fell silent instantly, and executed Ling Chi, that was torture!

Since there was a body search, Ning Erlan, who was the subject of suspicion, would not be spared.As time went by, the people waiting at the banquet couldn't help feeling a little nervous. No one knew who the poisoner would be, or who the emperor wanted to poison!
"I reported back to the emperor, but I didn't find it."

"Reporting to the emperor, the men's rest area was not found either."

With the return of the guards who went to search one by one to report, everyone's hearts were like tormenting on fire.

"I found it, I found it to report back to the emperor, I found a suspicious purse on the body of the female officer." A quarter of an hour later, a guard rushed in, holding a purse with green silk as the background and filigree money in his hand.

"Bring me up here." Emperor Zhaowu waved his hand, and a woman in her early twenties wearing an official uniform was escorted up.There have been female officials in the Great Qin Kingdom since ancient times, and they usually assist the harem master in managing the harem.

"Veterinarian, go and see what's in that purse." Emperor Zhaowu asked the guards to bring the purse to the veterinarian. The veterinarian opened the purse, smelled it, licked it, and said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, this purse is exactly the poison that the golden retriever was poisoned by."

"Ms. Xing, why did you harm the golden retriever?"

Wei Lingxiao, who was already sitting in his seat, looked at the female officer kneeling on the ground, his deep black eyes flickered, and the curtains were slightly lowered, and the light in his eyes disappeared.

"I am wronged, please the emperor to investigate clearly." The female officer Xing is also stubborn, with an unyielding face, but a faint sneer in her eyes, looking at Emperor Zhaowu sitting on the high-risk seat.

Xiao Jinling looked at the female officer kneeling on the ground, and was a little stunned for a moment. She vaguely remembered that she was stopped by the female officer when she entered the palace, saying that she was going to put a fang cover on the golden retriever.She disagreed with the two and they confronted each other for quite some time.

She never thought that a little female official would poison her pet dog!
"You really have the guts to say, who ordered you to kill my golden retriever? If you don't tell me, Miss Ben will whip you to death." As he said that, he was about to pull out the snake whip around his waist, so that he could get close Wei Ziming made a move to stop it in time.

"I don't know how to restrain myself in front of the emperor!" Wei Ziming scolded in a calm voice.

Although Xiao Jinling was not convinced, but seeing Emperor Zhaowu's dark face, he didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

Emperor Zhaowu set his sights on the female officer Xing, and only the female official Xing knew the majesty and pressure mixed in it, how difficult it was to be looked at by Emperor Zhaowu like this.

"You said you didn't do the poison, but why did you find the purse containing the poison on your body? Are you going to say that the purse is not yours? Someone is going to frame you?"

"Your Majesty, this purse indeed belongs to the minister, but the poison was not put in by the minister."

"Emperor, Your Majesty, servant girl, servant girl has something to tell..." At this moment, a maid who was brought in together suddenly said tremblingly.

"Say."

"Slave, this servant is on duty outside the palace gate with the female officer. Today, today, I saw the female officer talk to Miss Xiao because of Miss Xiao's pet dog. It was unpleasant. After Miss Xiao left, the female officer also sent a message. Get angry, say, say..." The maid shivered a little at this point and looked at her female officer who was waiting for her with a sinister face.

Emperor Zhaowu half-closed his eyes and asked. "say what?"

"I said I would never let that beast go..."

"Hmph, what a sharp mouth, who is it that benefits you that you slander me?" The female officer looked at the maid who had always been valued by her and asked sharply.

"I don't dare to tell any lies, please, please, the emperor clearly observe." After finishing speaking, the maid kowtowed continuously, with a look of panic on her face.

"Just because of such a small friction, it is necessary to poison, what a vicious mind! Now the witnesses are gathered to drag him down, and he will be executed immediately! Execute immediately!" Emperor Zhaowu ordered in a cold voice when he slapped the dragon case.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that Emperor Zhaowu, who has always prided himself on being wise and powerful, would be such a foolish emperor! Sooner or later you will be punished..." The female officer looked at Emperor Zhaowu with vicious eyes and cursed loudly.

"Don't tell me if someone gags you and drag it on!" The Queen ordered with a downcast look.

"I'm tired." Emperor Zhaowu showed a trace of fatigue between his brows and eyes, and after saying a few words in a low voice, he got up and left to return to the palace.

"My palace and the emperor here are afraid that everyone will be cautious. The banquet will continue, so don't let the fun go down because of what happened just now." It is true that the emperor and the empress left the table to make everyone feel at ease, but at this time, how many people are there? People in the mood?
