Chapter 66 Poison Wine
The word "sin" is like an arrow shot by the Qin people, which staggered Xiong Jing. He searched for the truth with the courage to avoid it, but the truth gave him the worst answer. He stood there without saying anything until he heard the report from the temple people.
"I haven't seen the Mingtang." The temple man reported. The Mingtang is the upper stairs, and it is also the first one to search.
"Qingyang has not seen it." Qingyang is a hall on the east side, and most of them live in children. There are no children in Lanhua Palace, so it is empty.
"I haven't seen Xuantang." Xuantang is on the north side, and there are some slaves, but not many.
Mi Xuan lived in Lanhua Palace when he entered the palace. If poison really existed, the most likely one was the large room of Zongzhang in the west. But there was still searching. In order to prevent hiding, the maid was asked to take off her clothes and leave the room naked. The search continued, and the maid's screams came from Zongzhang from time to time. The temple people received the order to search for poison. This kind of thing was an unlucky thing, and it was inevitable that it would be rough when hiding in the palace.
Mixuan confessed that she was guilty. She didn't want others to suffer, so she wanted to get up and go to Zongzhang. As soon as she wanted to get up, the temple's people came to shout, "I have already received poisonous wine after reporting to the food."
In ancient times, poisons were very limited, and the only types of aconite, poison, red crane head, blood-sealed throat, heartbroken herb, etc.
Aconitum is called corsage. Li Ji framed the young master Shen Sheng and put corsages in the meat that Shen Sheng gave to his father Jin Xian Gong. Jin is a snake-eating eagle. Because the poisonous snake is poisonous, the whole body is also contaminated with poison. The crane head is red-stone, and natural arsenic trioxide is arsenic after processing. Blood-sealed throat and heartbreaking grass are both plants. The former is poisonous arrow wood, and the latter is also called hook kiss. Legend has it that Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and died of abdominal pain.
The diet of the palace has always been strictly prohibited. There are special people from the stewards temple to monitor and test the poison. If the temple finds suspicious things, they must leave them to the stewards temple to identify them to prove their authenticity. It is precisely because there is stewards in the palace, poisoning is generally used to kill poison. The food is often eaten with one cauldron. Even if it is not stewards, there is stewards food to test the poison. The wine is different. Everyone only drinks the wine in their own pot.
The temple man said that he found the poison wine, and Xiong Jing finally fell on the mat, and Gongsun Yan's maid was true. Mi Xuan Fubai's body was even lower. From Xiong Jing's question, she knew that things were irreversible.
"Why is there no wine?" A heavy bronze wine pot was turned up under a pile of clothes, and it was naturally the poison I was looking for. But when the people from the Supervisor opened the wine pot, they found that the wine pot was empty.
"Do you have poisonous wine?" Chang Jiang was concerned about whether poisonous wine existed. If it exists, the queen would be guilty.
"I don't know, or it's poisonous wine." The temple man opened the wine pot and sniffed it deeply. However, the reason why poisonous poison fell into the wine was because the poisonous wine was colorless and tasteless, and it was difficult to detect it. "Please give it a try."
"Get out." Mi Xuan burst into tears. Xiong Jing was so tired that she didn't want to try poison again.
"King, someone poisons the queen, this matter is very serious." The people of the Supervisor Temple were a little stupid. He still didn't understand what was going on. Perhaps because he was too timid, he only dared to think that someone poisoned the queen, but he didn't dare to think that the queen poisoned the king.
"Get back!" Xiong Jing's voice was weak before, but now his voice was filled with anger. The temple man quickly retreated, leaving only Chang Jiang standing in the Mingtang.
"Tell me, the whole story?" Xiong Jing looked at Mi Xuan, his voice weak again.
"I am guilty, but I cannot forgive my crime." Mi Xuan sobbed. When things came to this point, she would be guilty no matter how she defended her.
Xiong Jing was sad, and she was also sad, but she couldn't help but have many things.
"Say—!" Xiong Jing shouted violently. "Do you want to kill Buying?"
"Wuwu... I am guilty, please give the king to death." Mi Xuan cried even louder. She could not refuse her father, nor could she kill her lover, so she could only pour a pot of poisoned wine into Rushui. Now Xiong Jingxiang asked, she only knew that she had committed suicide.
"Chang Jiang, what's the crime of poisoning the king?" Mi Xuan kept holding back and forth, Xiong Jing could only ask Xiang Chang Jiang coldly.
"To kill the king, you should arrest the three tribes and kill the royal family..." Chang Jiang sighed. He didn't expect the queen to do this.
"King, King..." The killing of the clan was to kill all the people of the Mi clan. Mi Xuan could only ask for death, but the entire Mi clan could not die. She quickly raised her head and looked at Xiong Jing and said anxiously: "Please forgive Mi clan. This crime of Mi Xuan alone has nothing to do with Mi clan."
"What you gave me is this pot of poisoned wine?" Xiong Jing asked Changjiang's purpose was to force Mi Xuan to answer. What he was concerned about was whether Mi Xuan really wanted to poison him, not whether she was guilty or not.
"Yes." Mi Xuan lowered her head and cried indescribable sadness.
"Where is the poisonous wine?" Xiong Jing asked. "Why are you in Lanhua Palace several times..."
"Tell the king, the empress dowager is here." All the temple people retreated, but no one expected that Concubine Zhao would come. Chang Jiang glanced at Xiong Jing helplessly. He was very careful when mobilizing the temple people, but he did not expect that Concubine Zhao would still alarm.
Xiong Jing was panicked when he heard that Concubine Zhao came over. He came to Lanhua Palace in person but didn't want the trouble to be known to everyone in the palace. Even if Mi Xuan was guilty, he could still forgive him privately. If Concubine Zhao knew about it, the paper would not be filled with the fire.
"Boy..." Concubine Zhao said as soon as she said that, subconsciously, Xiong Jing stood by Mi Xuan, pulled her from the ground, and then bowed to Concubine Zhao, "The child has seen his mother."
He bowed to Mi Xuan but did not bow to him. He shook Mi Xuan a few times before Mi Xuan cried, "Mi Xuan has seen his mother."
Concubine Zhao came with Wang Yin, and she didn't get any information. She only said that the king and his people rushed to Lanhua Palace for searching. When she arrived at the steps of Lanhua Palace, she realized that the poison wine was found. The poison wine changed greatly, so that her face turned ashen when she entered the hall.
"The Queen Mother comes here late at night, and I don't know what to do to disturb the Queen Mother." Before Zhao could speak, Xiong Jing spoke first. He didn't want Queen Zhao to intervene in this matter, especially before the matter was completely figured out.
"Lanhua Palace found poison wine. How can the queen rest in such a big deal?" Zhao Fei looked at Mi Xuan with reproach. Lanhua Palace was where Mi Xuan lives, and finding poison wine naturally had nothing to do with Mi Xuan. Thinking that his son said he didn't believe Mi Xuan before, it must be related to this poison wine.
"My mother is wrong." Mi Xuan wanted to speak, but Xiong Jing pulled her a hand. "The child heard that someone wanted to kill Xuan'er, so he rushed to search. Fortunately, he only found a copper pot, but did not find any poison wine."
"Are you sure?" The son held Mi Xuan's hand tightly, and Mi Xuan burst into tears. Concubine Zhao didn't believe her son's words. At this time, all the temple people who had just left Mingtang came in again. She asked not Xiong Jing, but the temple people in the food supervision office.
"Report to the Queen Mother, what the King said is correct." The temple man walked closer and bowed to Concubine Zhao. "The whole palace searched for no poisoned wine, so he only got a copper pot. I thought this pot had been filled with poisoned wine, but there was still some poison, so I asked for a try."
"Who owns the copper pot, where can I search?" Zhao Fei glanced at Xiong Jing and Mi Xuan as she spoke, but still felt something was wrong.
"I found the copper pot from the General Secretary room, and I don't know who owns it." After all, the temple master was not from Lanhua Palace. Mi Xuan was not in the room at that time, so he couldn't tell who owned it for a while, but this matter was not difficult.
"Come here! Take all the palace maids of Lanhua Palace Temple to the palace prison and interrogate them carefully." Concubine Zhao shouted. After she ordered, Wang Yinyou immediately said sharply, "Don't take them away?" He directed the soldiers to take the people from Lanhua Palace away.
"Mother Queen!" Xiong Jing was also anxious, "The copper pot is poisonous or not, and I don't know yet. Why did you take away the temple's palace maids?"
"Police to kill the king is a serious crime, how can we indulge it? If they commit suicide to protect the envoy behind them, what?" Concubine Zhao was right and didn't let anyone go.
The temple’s palace maids were taken away one by one, and some people were still calling for the queen. Mi Xuan’s body began to tremble. She had to bow down several times, but Xiong Jing’s hand was as iron-cast as she did, so she didn’t let her kneel down. Seeing that his son and Mi Xuan were as lacquered as before, Zhao said slowly: “It’s late at night, please wait and ask the king to go back to the palace to bed.”
"My mother, the child is not sleepy." Xiong Jingyan saw the matter getting bigger and bigger, and there was nothing he could do.
"It's late at night, the king should return to the palace to sleep." Concubine Zhao said again, his voice became louder this time.
"Which. The boy and Xuan'er surrendered." Xiong Jing took Mi Xuan's hand and surrendered together. He was going to take Mi Xuan to his main bedroom.
"Why did the king bring Mi Xuan to his bedroom before his wedding?" Concubine Zhao was unhappy again.
"Report to the mother, the child and Xuan'er have not been married, but Xuan'er has already sued the temple." Xiong Jing defended himself. After saying that, he pulled Mi Xuan and walked away quickly without waiting for Concubine Zhao to agree. Concubine Zhao looked at his figures getting farther and farther away from Mi Xuan, and could only stamp her feet.
Lanhua Palace was not far from her bedroom, but Mi Xuan couldn't walk before she walked far away. When Xiong Jing asked her, she suddenly hugged Xiong Jing and started crying loudly. Before, she cried mostly because of depression and was willing to be fate. Now she was thrown into Xiong Jing's arms, so she could cry loudly and vent her inner sadness and fear. Before, she was not entirely her, she was just a part of Mi. Only now, in Xiong Jing's arms, could she be free, and would not be forced to be the one she didn't want to be, and would not be worried and be wronged.
Mi Xuan cried loudly. When Xiong Jing heard her crying, she no longer had the intention to ask about the wine. That was not something Mi Xuan could decide alone. Many times she was just a puppet of the family, although that family was more than a thousand miles away from her. Isn’t the Qin generals all the same? Fan Yuqi escaped without caring about his family.
What he had to worry about now was not Mi Xuan, but his mother. The mother always wanted to make Yingnan the queen. If the maids in Lanhua Palace said something, the mother would definitely not give up. And he could not interfere with this matter - Yingdu may be his Yingdu, but the bedroom was the Qin Palace of the mother.
