Chapter 207 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
"Ahem..."
When Imperial Physician Lu came in, Lin You had already started his business.
His absolutely beautiful face was as pale as a piece of jade that was about to break.
At this time, the Queen Mother also came over.
The Imperial Physician saw the Queen Mother before giving her a follow-up examination.
Shen Yu and Shen Yinlai also came to the door.
"The Royal Concubine was indeed poisoned." After
Imperial Physician Lu finished his examination, he asked another Imperial Physician to examine her. The answers given by the two were the same as those of the Imperial Physician last night. The Queen Mother
frowned, "Madam Su, go and see how the Ministry of Justice is investigating."
Madam Su was about to go down as she was told, when she saw the Minister of Justice enter the yard.
"Your humble servant pays his respects to the Queen Mother."
Minister Jiang bowed outside the door.
Shen Yu, who was standing next to him, had been extremely sinister since the moment he saw Minister Jiang coming over.
It seemed that Minister Jiang had to be eliminated as soon as possible, as he was present almost every time.
This showed that Lin You and the Queen Mother trusted him very much.
"Tell me, how is the investigation going?" The Queen Mother opened her lips.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, there is nothing suspicious in the room where Lady Li is, it is all arranged as before, and there is no sign of Chinese medicine between Lady Li and Xuan Zhen." The Queen Mother
's face darkened, "In that case, the two of them did commit adultery."
Minister Jiang, "After interrogation, Xuan Zhen confessed that he had admired Lady Li for a long time, and just now he had evil thoughts and raped Lady Li, and he used a hallucinogenic incense on Lady Li, so Lady Li did not resist."
The Queen Mother, "Didn't you say there was no Chinese medicine?"
"This..."
Minister Jiang could not answer.
Because the imperial doctors did not find any traces of Chinese medicine.
Lin You, who was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, sighed in her heart, "What a mistake. I didn't expect that the old poison master's medicine was so advanced."
"However, if they really find out that Empress Li and Xuan Zhen were drugged, then they can escape."
"Two escapes are better than one."
When Minister Jiang heard this, his body trembled and sweat broke out on his back.
He said that this matter was a bit strange. It turned out that it was their ancestor who did it!
However, he had heard reports from his subordinates before. They learned from the Empress's thoughts that Empress Li and Xuan Zhen were having an affair.
He was too busy to get away, so he didn't go to check it out in person.
But he also knew that this matter was almost certain.
"If you dare to force your mother, I will never forgive you."
Shen Yu spat out a cold sentence, and then drew the sword of the guard, as if he was going to chop off Xuan Zhen's head.
The queen mother glanced at the leader of the imperial army, and Shen Yu was stopped.
[Haha, I laughed to death, the acting is really bad! ]
Lin You was disgusted by Shen Yu's behavior.
"What about the poison in Concubine You?" The queen
mother continued to ask Minister Jiang.
"Abbot Xuanzhen put poison in the bowl of incense ash water that the queen drank."
Shen Yu, "If he did poison, why were the other concubines fine? Why was Concubine You Gui poisoned?"
"Of course it's because Xuanzhen only tampered with Concubine You Gui's water."
The Queen Mother, "Then why did he target Concubine You Gui?"
"Xuanzhen said it was because Concubine You Gui looked down on him before she entered the palace, so he held a grudge against her."
[Haha, this is really a joke that is so cold that even a child wouldn't believe this excuse. 】
"How can such a narrow-minded person be qualified to be the abbot of Huguo Temple? It seems that the old abbot is really old and has such a poor judgment of people."
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Mother, since the evidence is conclusive, let Xuanzhen execute the sentence immediately, so as not to spread it out and lose the face of Dasheng." The Queen Mother
frowned and asked the leader of the imperial guards, "What is the emperor's order?"
"The emperor's order is that those who violate the national laws and temple laws will be dealt with in accordance with the temple laws, but Xuanzhen also conspired to murder the noble concubine, and his nine clans will be exiled to the border for hard labor." The
Queen Mother walked to Lin You and asked gently, "Noble Concubine You, what do you think?" In
this matter, Lin You was the one who was wronged, so the Queen Mother wanted to hear if she had anything to add.
"Your servant will listen to the emperor's decision."
Lin You really had no objection to this.
It's just a pity that Empress Li was not dealt with as well.
The Queen Mother nodded and said to Minister Jiang outside the door: "Then execute it according to the emperor's order."
"I obey your order."
Minister Jiang retreated and told the old abbot about this matter.
About a quarter of an hour later, Lin You heard the news that Xuan Zhen was going to be burned at the stake.
Originally thought they should go back, but unexpectedly the Queen Mother brought all the concubines to watch Xuan Zhen's burning in person.
The burning was held in the back mountain. When Lin You and her group arrived, Xuan Zhen was already tied to a pile of firewood.
Several monks who came to pray for the soul were sitting around.
The sound of wooden fish was heard, which looked quite spectacular.
[System, such a cruel punishment, why did the Queen Mother bring us to see it]
System, [Of course it's to make an example of someone.]
[Before, Concubine Xian cheated on the Emperor, and the Queen Mother failed to teach you a good lesson. This time, I'll take this opportunity to let you see the consequences of cheating on the Emperor.]
Lin You's eyelids twitched [Well, then, the idea of keeping a handsome man is still a little dangerous.]
System [Yes, a little dangerous.]
Queen Mother, "..."
Hey, it seems that the Emperor hasn't won Concubine Yougui's heart yet.
This brat, how could he be so useless that he can't even win the heart of a woman. He really didn't inherit any of his father's virtues.
After returning, she has to find a military advisor to teach An'er a lesson.
Shen Yinlai, who was standing next to her, heard Lin You's audacious thoughts, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely.
She already has a royal brother, but she still wants to raise a handsome man. She is simply a female hooligan.
The monks who were watching the wooden fish praying for Xuan Zhen suddenly heard Lin You's thoughts, and they were all frightened and messed up. Even the old abbot was not spared.
He looked at the empress dowager, and seeing that the empress dowager had an indifferent expression, he silently recited a few words in his heart and struck the wooden fish again.
The fire under Xuan Zhen's feet also slowly burned.
His eyes have never left Empress Li's face since she appeared.
In order to avoid being suspected by others, Empress Li could only lower her head, perform a one-handed salute, and silently recite the Heart Purification Mantra.
But whether it was the Heart Purification Mantra, only she knew.
At this moment, no one saw her eyes full of bloodshot.
No one knew that her heart was dripping with blood.
But in order to send those who framed her and Xuan Zhen to hell, she could only endure it.
After she killed the Queen Mother and Concubine You Gui, she would go find Xuan Zhen.
Pan Xue, who was standing next to her, saw the murderous intent overflowing from Empress Li's eyes, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She believed that next time, Empress Li would not let her down.
"Ah..."
The blazing fire slowly burned from Xuan Zhen's feet upwards.
His painful expression made Concubine Chan, Concubine De and others unable to bear to look directly at him. They turned their heads away and closed their eyes tightly.
Lin You glanced at Concubine De. She was relatively calm. She just closed her eyes and did not look very scared.
[System, what do you think Concubine De is thinking at this moment? Will she still want to elope with Siyu as in the original plot?]
System [That is not clear. After all, Siyu has already escaped from the wolf's den of Zhu Mansion.]
