NO.347 5,000 words of self-cultivation! Thanks to Xiao Nuo 3
no.347 Practice with hair (additional update, 5000 words! Thanks to Xiaonuo for the 30,000 red envelope reward!) The cruel words echoed in the hall, and everyone felt a gloomy wind, as if they really saw a ball of white monster tips.
It screamed and squeezed out from the top of Zhou Meiren's head, and the original Zhou Meiren's skin fell down like paper.
Just as Zhou Meiren screamed in fear, the Jiaofang palace people, led by Xiaodie, dragged Zhou Meiren down and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Aoxue tilted her head: "Yanbi, you should have found out all the other accomplices, right?"
"Yes." The beautiful concubine spoke respectfully.
"How many people were involved?"
"Back to the empress, there are 23 people involved in the case. In addition to Zhou Meiren, there are also 5 concubines."
"Five?" Aoxue said with some playfulness, "Including Zhou Meiren, there are 6 in total. A mere hair oil poisoning incident can actually involve 6 concubines! There are only more than 50 concubines in Xiliang's harem.
Where are the concubines?" She slowly glanced at the rest of the people, "There will be another matter of conflicting ingredients later, and I don't know how much more will be involved."
Fu Yan didn't answer, and Aoxue didn't seem to want her to answer. She started tapping her fingers on the table, making a "duh-duh" sound. This action was originally Li Tianyou's habitual move, but now Aoxue
After following him for a long time, I actually started to do the same.
"Have you brought all the concubines from Qiuhan Palace?" Aoxue asked.
"Yes, I brought them all and are waiting outside!" Fu Yan replied.
"Let them all come in." Aoxue said.
Soon someone from the palace brought a dozen concubines in, lined them up in front of Aoxue, and then saluted Aoxue.
This group of people, back then, were all dressed up, for fear that men would not look at certain parts of their bodies. Now, either because they have stayed in Qiuhan Palace for a long time, or because they are afraid that Aoxue will come up with something else, everyone is dressed up.
It is relatively simple and the makeup is the most elegant.
Compared with the concubines sitting in this room, it seems to have dropped three levels.
"The mastermind Zhou Lingzhi has just confessed that the hair oil I use every day was poisoned, and has been taken to the backyard to carry out the punishment. According to the investigations conducted by Xian and Yan in recent days, there are accomplices in this matter. I
Now I will give you a chance. If you plead guilty, I will only remove your positions and leave you a way to survive. If you are still stubborn..." Aoxue paused, "The fate of Meiren Zhou will be yours.
End!"
As soon as she finished speaking, as if to match Aoxue's words, Zhou Meiren's voice came intermittently again. Although the voice was not loud, the extreme fear in the tone made people's hair stand on end.
Suddenly, I heard the voice rising suddenly, and the high-pitched voice soared into the sky. The voice rose higher and higher, and everyone's minds followed the voice rising higher and higher. Just when the voice seemed to pierce the sky, suddenly,
As if the string was broken, the sound suddenly stopped.
She must have fainted from the pain! Everyone thought to themselves, looking at Aoxue with more fear in their expressions. Then their eyes turned to those people brought over by Shen Aomei and Fu Yan in the courtyard outside. Most of them were afraid in their hearts.
, how much did Shen Aomei and Fu Yan find out in the past few days?
Among them, several people's eyes were obviously twinkling. They were still hesitating whether to take a risk or to plead guilty?!
Just at this moment, "Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi" "Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi" a burst of urgent wailing that was definitely not human came from the direction where Zhou Meiren was screaming just now. Everyone's faces instantly turned pale, and several people had secretions on their foreheads.
Sweat.
Aoxue seemed not to have seen it and only said to herself: "Oh, it's so fast. I plan to go and see it later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were only a few "plop-plop" sounds, and the eight concubines rushed to kneel down towards Aoxue and kowtowed desperately: "My queen, please spare my life, your Majesty, please spare your life!"
Aoxue smiled, turned her head, and glanced in the direction of Fu Yan.
Fu Yan was also surprised that the number of kneeling concubines was actually three more than what she found out. She quickly bowed to Aoxue and said with sincerity, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
From receiving the case seven days ago to collecting evidence, she has used a lot of resources these days, almost without sleep, to finally find the main culprit, and then spent a lot of time to follow the clues to find the accomplices, but she did not expect that Aoxue was just a few
With just one sentence, those accomplices were frightened out!
She had to admire this kind of intelligence!
At this time, the kneeling concubines heard their conversation and hurriedly raised their heads to look around. After seeing the number of people kneeling clearly, they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: Just now, Fu Yan clearly mentioned 5 people, maybe she herself
He's the one who wasn't caught!
"Okay, I won't ask you what role you played in the whole incident right now. Someone will come and take notes for you later. From now on, your names will be taken from the Xiliang harem roster.
Completely eliminated from the palace!" Aoxue looked at them, "I keep my promise not to take your lives. As for the future, I still have to think about whether you will become nuns or be expelled from the palace!" As he said that, Aoxue waved.
He waved his hand and signaled the palace attendants to take them out.
"Okay, next case." Aoxue said, her eyes falling directly on Shen Aomei.
"Back to your Majesty, regarding the ingredients case, I have lived up to the expectations of the Emperor and your Majesty, and the murderer has been found." Shen Aomei hurriedly took a step forward.
"Yeah, tell me." Aoxue nodded.
Shen Aomei was really about to speak when Xiaodie lifted the door curtain outside and hurried in with the unique chill of late autumn.
When everyone saw that it was Xiaodie, they felt a little scared when they thought that it was Xiaodie who had led people to escort Zhou Meiren out for execution. When they took a closer look at Xiaodie's body, they quickly found blood spots on her clothes.
Human vision is so strange. You may not be able to tell the problem at first glance, but after they saw the first blood spot, they quickly saw the second blood spot, and the third blood spot...
This blood must be Zhou Meiren's blood! This is everyone's habitual thinking. Presumably, Zhou Meiren has been brutally poisoned.
"What's wrong?" Aoxue raised her eyes and glanced at Xiaodie, as if she was just asking about an extremely small matter.
"My dear, that thing is resisting very much, what should I do?" Xiaodie bowed.
For a moment, everyone felt that the bloody spots on Xiaodie's body were more eye-catching. The murderer, this is the murderer!
"How much resistance?" Aoxue raised her eyebrows, with surprise in her eyes.
"Yes, that thing screams loudly and is very slippery." Xiaodie lowered her head, blaming herself.
She screamed so hard and her hands were so slippery...
Everyone naturally thought of the "chichi" cry just now, and the solidified mass of white flesh squeezed out from the gap on Zhou Meiren's head in their minds. For a moment, they felt goose bumps all over their bodies.
As for Aoxue, she seemed to be thinking very seriously: "My hands are slippery..." In just one breath, she quickly thought of a solution: "Since my hands are not slippery, don't grab them. Let's get rid of them first."
In the locked room, you go and heat a big pot of boiling oil, and then pour it directly on that thing!"
"What a great idea, Madam!" Xiaodie looked very excited, "I'll ask someone to burn more boiling oil. I'll pour the boiling oil on layer by layer later. Maybe it'll be cooked right away!"
Aoxue nodded slightly: "Make the taste better, cut a few more plates and bring them over later, so that all the sisters can have a taste."
"Yes." Xiaodie answered happily and walked out happily.
The concubines were so frightened that they didn't know how to breathe. Each one of them looked so pale that they were lifeless. Cold sweat ran down several of their backs. At this moment, everyone had one thought in their minds: Is the queen in the room a human or a monster?
If you were a human, how could you come up with such a bt method? If you were a demon, would it be your turn after eating Zhou Meiren today?!
Aoxue didn't seem to have guessed what everyone was thinking. After looking around, she wondered: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so hot and sweating in such a cold weather?" She raised her head and said, "Here comes someone.
Bring some fans and fan them to the ladies."
"Yes." The palace servants who were waiting by the wall responded in unison.
The fan was quickly brought in, and the palace servants stood behind the concubines and waved the fan. It was already cold, but after the flow of wind, everyone felt that the yin energy was seeping into their bones. They all seemed to be sitting in the Hall of Hell waiting.
Being interrogated is normal.
"Aomei, continue talking." Aoxue said coldly.
Shen Aomei was also frightened by the conversation just now. She looked pale and said tremblingly: "The murderer of the ingredients is... Wu Changzai and Wu Xianling..."
"Wu Changzai?" Aoxue was obviously surprised to hear this name. She looked up at Shen Aoxue with a cold look in her eyes. Wu Changzai, Wu Changzai had been burned by Xiao Zi!
"Yes, it's Wu Changzai." Shen Aomei said with certainty, "There are all the witnesses and material evidence. Someone comes and takes..."
"No need." Aoxue said what she said, witness and physical evidence are things that are often changed in private trials, not to mention the palace! "Since the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to pass it on again."
"By the way, I haven't seen Wu Xianling for several days. Why didn't she come?" Aoxue asked knowingly.
"Back to Madam, during the investigation of the case, we found that Wu Xianling had already committed suicide out of fear of crime." At this time, Fu Yan replied.
Just because the murderer was Wu Xianling, most of the people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. Now that both cases have been closed, they have nothing to worry about!
Hearing Fu Yan's answer, Aoxue's eyes darkened. She raised her chin towards the crowd waiting outside the window: "Are those people involved in the two cases?"
"Not only that, but also some other things." Fu Yan replied.
At this time, Shen Aomei frowned. When she came to Jiaofang Hall today, she had no idea that Fu Yan had brought so many people! These people were people who were not involved in the previous investigation of oil and ingredients! She asked at that time
Fu Yan asked Fu Yan what these people did, but Fu Yan said nothing.
"Say." Aoxue said calmly.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that I borrowed some things from your grocery store a few days ago?"
"Yes." Aoxue nodded.
"That utility room was a gift given to you by the concubines in the palace."
"Yes." Aoxue nodded again.
"I originally just wanted to find some clues, but unfortunately, I accidentally uncovered too many things! Because the plot involved murdering the queen, I had to take revenge." Fu Yan smiled, her eyes sparkling.
It's cool.
"Oh? Say..."
Before Aoxue could finish his sentence, the whole hall was filled with the sound of popping and popping. That battle was much more active than the previous battle!
It was not a few concubines, nor a dozen concubines, but nine out of ten concubines, kneeling down towards Aoxue one by one, and kowtowing over each other: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare your life!" There was not a single word of denial or unjust accusation.
, you don’t even need to hear what Fu Yan found out, everyone is already bowing his head and pleading guilty!
From the beginning when Aoxue talked about pouring mercury on her head, to the screams of Zhou Meiren, then to the chirps of extreme fear, and then to the later Aoxue's suggestion of pouring boiling oil on the white monster, these concubines
I was already scared out of my wits!
At this moment, not to mention that they all had guilty consciences, even if Aoxue really wanted to accuse them of being raped, they would have to admit it.
Live or die happily!
"Why are there so many people begging for mercy?" Aoxue smiled, looking coldly at the kneeling people, "Since they are all begging for mercy, they must have done something that is sorry for me. Come, let's talk about it one by one.
What did you do? I told you earlier, I will spare her life."
The sentence "I said it early, I will keep her alive", like a huge stone, fell into the lake in an instant and stirred up thousands of waves. The concubines rushed to plead guilty, and they were even more active than usual in fighting for favor!
This one has ingredients added to moisturizer, that one has ingredients added to jewelry, this one has ingredients added to embroidery, and some even have ingredients added to the flowers and plants that were delivered!
Aoxue just listened to these people's confessions coldly, while the palace attendants beside her were busy taking notes.
Speaking of which, none of these methods were new, they were all old-fashioned things. Aoxue became distracted while listening, and looked towards the group of people outside the window.
When she looked out the window at those people twice before, she always felt like there was a familiar face. This time, she finally saw it clearly!
Di Changshang! Why is she in there?!
From the time she returned to the palace until now, she had never heard anyone mention Di Changshang, and she had never seen this person in Jiaofang Palace. She thought that the big-breasted and brainless woman had been killed, and she did not expect that he would appear.
Here it is!
And obviously, that woman had participated in a concubine's plot to kill her!
"Yanbi, what crime was Di Changshang involved in?" Aoxue suddenly interrupted everyone's confession.
"Di Changshang?" Fu Yan was a little confused. No matter whether they were concubines or maids, there was no one named Di Changshang!
"That person, seventh from the left in the third row." Aoxue raised her hand and pointed toward Di Changshang outside.
Following Aoxue's gaze, Fu Yan quickly saw the person Aoxue was talking about: "It turns out that the empress is talking about Yuan Bao."
Only then did Aoxue remember that before Di Changshang was allowed to enter the palace, she had been rewarded with a name called Yuan Bao!
"I heard that Yuanbao was a maid that the empress took in before she returned to the palace. Later, she committed some crime and was fined to do rough work in the nursery. She was involved in the flower poisoning case," Fu Yan said.
Aoxue nodded slightly, and did not ask which concubine he was assisting. He just said to the concubine next to him who was confessing his crime and the palace attendant who was recording: "You continue."
As for Di Changshang, since she was brought into the palace to be a palace maid, naturally all the treatment will be the same as other palace ladies. Now that she has made a mistake, the punishment is the same as that of other palace people. There is no need to judge her separately, and there is no need to ask questions separately.
She recalled the first time she met Di Changshang. In this world, there always seemed to be some people who were naturally hostile... From the first time to the last time...
Oh, by the way, I heard that Fengyun Castle was wiped out. I wonder how Ye Hongbin is doing...
"Your Majesty, what should I do with these concubines?" I was lost in thought when Fu Yan's voice came.
"All promoted to one level." Suddenly, Li Tianyou's voice came from outside the door.
No one in the crowd was overjoyed. Everyone was in a sluggish state. They even forgot the most common ritual of kneeling and bowing. They only looked at Li Tianyou who walked in from the door and felt incredible.
Aoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes full of inquiry.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." The first person to react was still Fu Yan.
After Fu Yan knelt down and bowed down, the other concubines followed suit and saluted. Aoxue was exempted from this etiquette, so she still sat down.
Li Tianyou strode to Aoxue and sat on the golden nanmu armchair next to her.
"Everyone, get up!" Li Tianyou said.
The concubines who were not involved in the case stood up without any psychological burden. However, the concubines who were involved in the case secretly looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up.
"These kneeling ones will all be promoted to one level." Li Tianyou said again.
These women were even more frightened. Poisoning the queen was obviously a heinous crime. How could it be possible that instead of being punished, they were promoted to a higher level? Could it be that the emperor already knew that Shen Aoxue was a monster?
No, no! Impossible! If the emperor knew that Shen Aoxue was a monster, there would be no way he would still be sitting next to her now.
While everyone was guessing, they heard Li Tianyou's voice coming again: "Last night there was a vision from the sky. The Imperial Supervisor Zhengtang Wang sensed that this was a bad omen. All the beloved concubines care about the people and specially requested an order to go to Yaoguang Temple to lead the way.
Practice and pray for Xiliang."
With just a few words, the destination of these concubines has been decided.
Everyone smiled bitterly and practiced with their hair on. Even though it was over for the rest of their lives, it was still better than being skinned alive by Shen Aoxue! They then kowtowed deeply to Li Tianyou: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"
"As for the others..." Li Tianyou looked at the palace people outside, "I will follow you out of the palace."
"Yes." The concubines replied. The so-called leaving the palace together was just to find an excuse for the disappearance of those people! They are alive because of the huge family behind them, but none of the accomplices who participated in poisoning the queen can
Live!
Li Tianyou waved his hand: "Okay, you all stand down."
The concubines bowed and left again. At this time, Aoxue spoke: "Aomei, Fu Yan, you stay."
Shen Aomei and Fu Yan both looked at each other and stood respectfully beside them.
After all the concubines had left the room, Aoxue was reprimanding the palace servants who were waiting here. The first thing she said was: "Which one of you did the food stuff?"
Chapter completed!
