Ling Tianyin's expression could be described as that of a snowstorm.
He tightened his jaw, clenched his fists again and again, and walked slowly in front of Queen Zhong.
Ling Tianyin's handsome eyes stared at Queen Zhong with resentment and rage.
Sudden!
He raised his hand and slapped her.
Ling Tianyin was so strong that he knocked Queen Zhong to the ground.
"You vicious woman, Shen'er is so young, yet you can kill her!" he said angrily.
Empress Zhong covered her cheeks, her eyes filled with tears: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Lingzhou's nonsense. He is just jealous that I didn't raise him up back then. This is slander and an opportunity for revenge!"
Yun Linzhou seemed to have guessed that she would say this.
He tilted his head and said to the door: "Bring them in."
Several guards around the prince immediately escorted the two palace maids in.
When Queen Zhong saw them, her expression changed drastically.
The two palace maids were both her confidants, but now they had their heads lowered, their faces were painful, and the corners of their mouths were bruised. They must have been interrogated before they came.
Ye Siming, who had been silent until now, suddenly pointed at a palace maid and said coldly: "I don't know if it's revenge, but I've seen this palace lady before. I saw her appear at the pharmacy outside the palace. If she bought anything, the emperor can send it."
Someone took her for questioning."
The palace maid who was recognized by Ye Siming hurriedly kowtowed and said with tears: "All the slaves have been recruited just now. It was all the Queen's will. The queen said she was afraid of attracting attention when taking medicine from the imperial hospital, so she arranged for the slaves to go outside the palace to buy it."
of arsenic.”
She raised her head, her forehead had been cut, and a thin stream of blood stained her eyebrows, making her look a little scary.
"Arsenic is expensive, one tael costs fifty silver. I bought a total of ten taels of arsenic, totaling five hundred silver. I don't have the money myself. It was all given by the Queen. There is still some arsenic that has not been used up and is being put away.
In the room, if the emperor doesn’t believe it, he can go check it out!”
The palace maid gave her explanation simply and neatly, as if she was eager to get away with it.
Seeing this, her accomplices also hurriedly said: "The Queen ordered her slaves to bribe the maid in charge of delivering breakfast in Qinghe Palace in order to poison His Highness Shen. The two slaves knew that the crime was heinous, but they asked for leniency and begged the emperor to leave this slave as a slave.
Take your life!"
Concubine Lu couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears when she heard this.
Her whole body was trembling slightly because of her anger. She suddenly stood up and stared at the two palace guests with tearful eyes.
"For the sake of the queen's own selfish desires, you did not persuade her to give up, but even helped her do such unforgivable things. Now, you still dare to ask for forgiveness."
Concubine Lu turned to Ling Tianyin and knelt down, about to kneel down: "Your Majesty, Shen'er's escape from death is a fluke! If we are not severely punished, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"
Ling Tianyin held her elbow and said, "Cyperus rotunda, you don't need to say anything about this. I also know that I will never let you go. Don't hurt your body."
He said in a sharp tone: "Come here, drag these two unscrupulous slaves out, give them a broken car, and execute them immediately!"
The two palace men turned pale at this moment, and they were all panicked.
They quickly looked at Yunlinzhou: "Your Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Linzhou said coldly: "Noisy, you still want to beg for mercy? Block your mouth and take him away."
He didn't even look at the two palace maids.
Until they were dragged away, those eyes that looked like regret were wide and round as they looked at Yun Linzhou's indifferent figure.
Gu Nuoer blinked her eyes, a little confused.
These two palace maids, did you want to say what the prince did just now?
Yun Linzhou seemed to be aware of her gaze, and when he looked sideways, his cold eyes became a little warm.
His eyes stayed on her for a moment before moving away.
