Chapter 114

Here Xueyi was selecting needles, while the little master in this room was crying and shouting, and the palace servants who caused one after another of surprises gradually surrounded him.


The silver needles found the right acupuncture points one by one, and the little master seemed to gradually stop struggling.


Just when Xue Yi wiped off his nervous sweat and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, the young master convulsed violently, and the group of court ladies and eunuchs fell to the side in fright, Xue Yi's eyes darkened. Suddenly, I was shocked, shocked and confused.


The next moment, I saw black blood gushing from the little master's mouth, and gradually the seven orifices were bleeding, his horrified eyes opened as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, staring at Xue Yi, the little master kept twitching, his hands Exhausting all his strength to hold the corner of Xueyi's skirt tightly, he squeezed out a few words with difficulty:


"Why. Want to kill me."


The gurgling black blood dripped all over the ground, staining the pink embroidered shoes of the snow suit red.


This sudden bloody scene made all the court ladies and eunuchs present scream in fright:


"Ah—killed——killed—come quickly—"


How could this be? !


Xue Yi looked at the woman who was already frozen at her feet in shock, her seven orifices were bleeding, her pupils opened angrily, and she was dying!

Impossible, even if the needle sticks sideways, it is absolutely impossible to have such a result!

Why is this happening?


Startled, she hurriedly picked up a silver needle and smelled it on her nose, her eyes were even more startled, she looked up at Liuying in surprise and said:

"Why is this silver needle poisonous?!"


"Oh, how is this, this is so good, people are killed!"


The father-in-law driving the car yelled in a high-pitched voice.


Liuying also looked at this scene in shock, hurried up to pull Xueyi and was about to leave:


"Princess, it's not too late, go to the Prince's Hall with your slaves, I'm afraid only the prince can keep the princess in this matter!"


"Liu Ying, you, what do you mean?"


Xue Yi looked at Liu Ying in confusion.


"Wangfei, everyone has seen that it was Wangfei who gave the needle for this young master. Now that he is dead, I am afraid that some palace guards will come to arrest Wangfei and put him in prison. If His Royal Highness is here at this time, I am afraid There is still a chance for the princess to defend herself, otherwise, the princess will be in great trouble today!"


"It's going to be a catastrophe? But even if they suspect me of murder, they still have to go through a trial process. They don't arrest people for nothing and then behead them?"


Xue Yi was even more puzzled by Liu Ying's anxiety.


Liu Ying let out a cry of hi, and said:

"Wangfei think about it carefully, if Wangfei didn't give this young master the needle just now, who would the needle be on?"


Xue Yi's eyes flickered:

"Prince!?"


"My concubine tried to murder the prince. Even if you don't need to investigate this crime, the current empress and queen mother can cut off your head immediately!"


The blood on Xue Yi's face faded in an instant.


What shocked her was not that she might be beheaded, but that someone wanted to use her hands to murder the prince!


如果

If the poisonous needle was really stuck in the prince's body, if she really killed the prince with her own hands, she couldn't imagine whether she would go crazy.


Thinking about it at this moment, and looking at the little master who died in vain, his heart also turned cold, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on the palms of his hands.


There were screams and screams.


There were waves of footsteps rushing towards the ground in the distance, and Liu Ying said:

"Oops, it looks like I can't get away!"


Xue Yi followed Liu Ying's gaze, and saw a large number of palace guards coming one after another, and they had already arrived at the crime scene in an instant.


All the court ladies and eunuchs pointed their finger at Xue Yi, trying to avoid getting into trouble.


"My lord, it was her, she killed the young master."


"That's right, all of us have witnessed it with our own eyes. It was she who killed the young master with her own hands!"


"My lord, this matter has nothing to do with us, it is Princess Jing's attempt to murder her life!"


The leading adult looked at Xueyi seriously, and a subordinate came up to report:

"My lord, he died, he died of needle poisoning. He was a young master of Chuxiu Palace."


The grown-up had a serious expression on his face:


"Well, take all the people at the scene and take them into custody! Take Princess Jing away!"


"When someone comes again, the dead little master will be carried away, and the scene will be cleaned up immediately!"


After speaking, the group of maids and eunuchs cried and begged for mercy, and were dragged down by the guards all the way.


Xueyi and Liuying were also taken away.


At the scene, a guard captain quietly said to another guard: "Go quickly and report this matter to General Long, and there will be no mistakes!"


"As ordered."


The subordinate took the order and quietly left the palace.

Dali Temple. (Note: The Supreme Court of Justice in ancient times)


In the prison, the damp tide smelled of corrosion.


The Minister of Dali Temple, the Chief Bookkeeper, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and others are all interrogating Xue Yi in prison at this time.


"Are you the princess from Bei Cang Kingdom and relatives?"


Master Qing Chang of Dali Temple asked.


Xue Yi climbed on the wooden door of the cage, dressed in a prison uniform, with a distressed face, watching the adults outside returning: "Yes, I am the fifth princess of Emperor Yuande."


"You entered the palace to treat the crown prince?"


"Yes."


"I heard that you performed acupuncture for the prince yourself?"


".good."


"Then you entered the palace today to see the prince's medical treatment, and you ran into the young master of Chuxiu Palace on the way?"


".Yes, I saw that woman—"


"You don't need to say much, just answer what the officer said."


The adult directly interrupted Xue Yi's words.


"So if the young master of the Chuxiu Palace didn't die in vain, the one who died would be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Tell me, why did you attempt to murder the Crown Prince in vain? Was it ordered by your father or someone from King Jing's Mansion?"


The adult's eyes were aggressive.


Xue Yi was very surprised, and hurriedly said:


"No, my lord's name is Cha, the little master was poisoned before I gave her the needle, and I don't understand why my silver needle was poisoned, but this is obviously a well-planned trap, and someone deliberately framed her. , was not ordered by anyone, and it has nothing to do with Prince Jing's Mansion!"


"The certification and evidence are all there, what else do you have to argue about!"


Xue Yi jumped up in shock and anger, "My lord, you are the Minister of Dali Temple and the highest official in charge of the Judiciary. Since you have to go through the joint trial of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you can only decide the case after careful investigation. My lord has not If you take any action and judge my life and death just by listening to other people's words, it will not insult the trust of the Holy One in you, how can you take on this important task if you are so perfunctory, and you will be responsible to the people and the common people!"


That Chang's face suddenly changed:


"You, you have such a sharp mouth and such a wild attitude."


"It's not that Xueyi made a mistake, it's just stating the facts. Xueyi believes that your Dongling Kingdom will not be so careless about human life. If you only listen to other people's judgments in everything, then come to Dongling Kingdom without the king's law, how can you have today? prosperity?"


"My lord, in my opinion, there is no need to talk too much with her. At this time, involving the crown prince must not be let go. She will have to be tortured to force her to tell the truth!"


The master book of Dali Temple stepped forward and said.


"Hey, that's inappropriate. After all, she is the princess of the Beicang Kingdom and relatives. In my opinion, the court should interrogate her first."


The servant from the Ministry of Punishment said.


At this time, someone outside the prison came up and whispered in the ear of the lord Chang, and the lord's expression changed immediately: "Hey, hurry up, go out to pick you up, the queen and the queen mother are here!"


While speaking, a group of people had already entered the prison gate.


Those adults all waved their sleeves and bowed.


"Pull the people out of Aijia!"


With a sharp roar, the queen mother looked furiously at the cell.


Shen Xiangxiang was still following the empress dowager, and the empress was also coming next to her.


Shen Xiangxiang looked at Xueyi who was pulled out of the prison door, looked at Xueyi's embarrassed face with a bit of complacency on his face, supported the Empress Dowager's arm and said:


"Look, queen mother, not only did she openly seduce the prince and prince in the inner courtyard of the palace, but she also harbored evil intentions. She tried her best to get close to our royal family, and she must murder the prince and the fourth master's life! If If no one dies in vain for the crown prince today, then His Highness the crown prince——, in my opinion, she must not be spared, she should be executed immediately!"


"Tie her up to Bengong and beat her hard, so I won't be afraid that torture won't force her to tell the truth."


The queen's face was cold, her phoenix eyes were frosty, and she gave orders coldly.


The jailer hoisted the snowclothes on the wooden stake three times and stood there in a large character shape. Someone was holding a thick leather whip and waited at the side, just waiting for the order to execute.


"Wait," Xue Yi anxiously looked at the people in front of him and shouted:

"You can't do this, queen mother, please check clearly, if I want to harm the prince, I will do it long ago, and I won't wait until today. The poison on the silver needle must be someone who wants to use my hand to murder the prince. , and the little master who died in vain today, she was poisoned before I gave her the needle, there are many doubts in it, and I was wronged too!"


There was a moment of silence in the prison, the queen came up, raised Xue Yi's chin with her long fingertips of colorful pills, and the corners of her eyes were cold and frosty:


"Oh, so to speak, someone tampered with your silver needle, trying to use your hands to poison my son and the present prince? You are Princess Jing, and all your things were brought from Prince Jing's mansion. Come out, so let’s say, the person who poisoned you was someone from Prince Jing’s mansion? Are you people from Prince Jing’s mansion trying to murder the crown prince? Tell me, was it the old concubine who instructed you, or King Jing’s master, Mr. Nangong? You do this?"


Xue Yi's eyes were shocked, and she shook her head instinctively: "No, no, absolutely not, this matter has nothing to do with King Jing's Mansion!"
