Concubine Qiao stood up to greet the emperor, not at all anxious because of Qing He's slander.
On the contrary, the queen supported the sick body and tried her best to defend the imperial concubine in a weak voice.
"Your Majesty, this slave is so slanderous. If the noble concubine hadn't discovered it, I would have died inexplicably!"
Gu Yihan came in alone, with his hands behind his back, he glanced at the Queen and Concubine Qiao.
Finally, his eyes fell on Qing He, who was holding his boots and crying and begging in front of him.
When Qing He raised his head, he was suddenly shocked when he saw the emperor's eyes.
Why is the emperor's eyes so sinister?
It's chilling.
Gu Yihan spoke slowly, with a cold voice: "Really, you said that the imperial concubine instigated you to murder the queen?"
Qinghe bravely argued, she just wanted to delay it first.
As long as she hides away today, the master behind her can find a way to rescue her!
Qinghe nodded repeatedly: "Concubine Qiao asked the slave to add chronic poison to the tea, and she said it would be a little bit a day until the queen's body was exhausted!
Her purpose is to be the queen, and she pretends to be on good terms with the queen, but in reality she has evil intentions!
Now that I have taken advantage of my slave and want to silence her, I really don’t dare to help her hide it any more, so please make the decision and give me a clear warning!”
Gu Yihan suddenly sneered.
This smile is full of murderous intent!
His eyes were cold: "Oh? Why did the noble concubine drug the queen and then asked the little princess to ask me for help?
Could it be that you want to say that the imperial concubine came here with her own flesh and blood, and deliberately broke into you and drugged the queen?"
Qinghe was stunned.
Little princess? Could it be that the little princess went to find the emperor?
At this moment, a little head poked out from behind the door frame.
Gu Nuo'er fluttered her long eyelashes, and her washed and agile eyes were clearer and revealed a well-behaved look.
She said softly: "Mother, queen, don't be afraid, Nuonuo has asked daddy to come as reinforcements!"
Then, she pointed at Qinghe: "Dad, this is the bad guy. She tampered with the tea and was discovered by Nuonuo.
He even threatened me! He said he wouldn’t give me pastries, that’s too much! He thought Nono was a two-year-old child!”
Qinghe wished he could bite his lower lip to bleed!
She never expected that this little princess would run directly to tell the emperor what had happened.
In this case, the emperor has already taken the lead.
Any quibbles Qinghe makes later will be in vain!
Looking at Qing He's malicious expression, the little guy made a face: "Bad guy, beat you!"
She raised her little fist, but almost tripped over the threshold.
Fortunately, Gu Yihan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and took his precious daughter into his arms, holding her and comforting her.
At this time, Concubine Qiao said: "Your Majesty, please give me the power of thorough investigation. Qinghe alone does not dare to act rashly.
Someone must have been instigating her behind the scenes, and I must find out the person who murdered the Queen."
Gu Yihan stared at Qinghe and said in a cold tone: "I have a more direct way."
He turned to Chun Shou and ordered: "Beat Qinghe until a layer of skin is peeled off, and then invite everyone in the harem to come and watch.
Let the Imperial Guards watch in the dark, and I will torture whoever is most afraid. If there is nothing to do, it will not be a pity for this cheap maid to die."
As he said that, he waved his sleeves and said, "Take him down! Take him away together with Cai Luan."
Chun Shou accepted the order and immediately waved, and the guards behind him filed in and directly dragged Cai Luan and Qing He away.
Gu Nuoer faced the two of them and said in a sweet voice: "Luanluoluo! Don't underestimate the little baby!"
If she hadn't struck preemptively, I'm afraid Concubine Qiao would not be able to escape suspicion when the emperor came today.
