Will he be so angry that he will die?
Today is the third day of investigating the imperial concubine's poisoning case, and it is also the deadline set by the Queen Mother for her.
However, Su Jingyao felt relaxed at the moment, as she had already achieved the purpose of the Queen Mother asking her to investigate the case.
It cleared An Zhaorong's grievances and stopped Jun Zechen from acting recklessly.
As for whether Jun Zechen is satisfied or not, he was the one who took on the case anyway, so doesn't he have to bear the consequences of the investigation?
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Anshun stood respectfully in the middle of the hall, with his head slightly lowered, his expression serious and cautious.
He began to report to Jun Zechen who was sitting on the majestic dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, I have found out that the poison was given by Qin'er, and Guo'er was actually framed by her."
"Qin'er's clothes were stained with aconite powder, and this was confirmed by the imperial physician after a careful examination."
"The reason why I didn't check on Qin'er that day was because the Imperial Concubine stopped me."
When Anshun spoke, he looked straight ahead and spoke in a steady tone.
"However, Qin'er has always insisted that Ping'er was behind all of this, and even claimed that Ping'er had buried the aconite powder under the roots of the tree yesterday."
"But after careful investigation, I found that no one buried aconite powder under the tree roots last night."
"Based on Qin'er's remarks, I boldly speculate that she is trying to pin the real culprit of poisoning the imperial concubine on Concubine Chun Shu."
As Anshun said this, he glanced upwards quietly and carefully, secretly gazing at His Majesty's expression.
Jun Zechen's ink-black eyes stared straight ahead, his face expressionless.
One hand was placed on the armrest, while the other hand was slightly turning the ring on his hand.
He just uttered two words calmly: "Continue."
Anshun hurriedly continued, "The slave then used some special methods to interrogate Ping'er. Ping'er said that she was only passing on the news of Zhaochun Palace to Qin'er."
"She herself has never come into contact with aconite powder, and she doesn't even know what aconite powder is."
Anshun paused slightly at this point, as if he was organizing his next words.
Then he said, "Ping'er also said that she had told Qin'er that Your Majesty was going to take Concubine Chun Shu out of the palace on her birthday."
"Your Majesty also knows the methods I use to interrogate people. Ping'er is telling the truth."
When Jun Zechen heard this, a cold light suddenly shot out from his eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything, and a cold breath instantly spread.
“Bang!”
A crisp sound echoed in the hall.
Jun Zechen suddenly swept the teacup on the table to the ground, and the fragments of the teacup flew everywhere.
An Shun's heart trembled suddenly, and he knelt down hurriedly, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty, calm down."
"Qin'er is the imperial concubine's person?"
Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice suppressing the anger that was about to burst out, low and full of majesty.
"Qin Er said she was An Zhaorong's person..."
Anshun answered reluctantly, his expression slightly helpless and a little hesitant.
After all, even he himself did not believe that Qin'er was An Zhaorong's person. After all, the imperial concubine knew all the news that Qin'er had found out from Zhaochun Palace.
Even the imperial concubine had been helping to conceal what Qin'er had done.
It is obvious that the imperial concubine not only had spies in Zhaochun Palace, but also tried to kill three birds with one stone in this poisoning incident.
She wanted to stop His Majesty from taking Concubine Chun Shu out of the palace, wanted to frame An Zhaorong and Concubine Chun Shu, and even more wanted to regain His Majesty's favor.
Jun Zechen naturally didn't believe that Qin'er was An Zhaorong's person.
In fact, he had guessed it at the very beginning and felt that all this might have been directed and acted by Ling Yue himself.
If she just wanted to take revenge on An Zhaorong, then so be it.
An Zhaorong has always been scheming and has been restless since entering the Eastern Palace. So take this opportunity to punish her.
But he didn't expect Ling Yue to be so unreasonable. Has Yaoyao done anything wrong to her?
Even after Yaoyao first entered the East Palace, she deliberately avoided him and distanced herself from him for Ling Yue.
After that, he sincerely treated her as a sister and even risked his life to save her.
Just to win favor and because of the uncontrollable jealousy in her heart, could Ling Yue be so unscrupulous?
"Qin'er and Ping'er will both be executed by caning."
"Juxiang, the maidservant beside the imperial concubine, recommended a palace maid with impure intentions to her master. She will be slapped thirty times."
"Tomorrow, all of them will be executed outside the Yikun Palace, and the Imperial Concubine will be allowed to watch."
Jun Zechen's cold voice sounded slowly, without a trace of ripples, but it made people feel a chill.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Anshun responded quickly, but he was really shocked when he heard this arrangement.
Qin'er and Ping'er indeed deserved to be put to death. His Majesty did not punish the Imperial Concubine directly on the surface, but by carrying out the punishment in the Yikun Palace, wasn't this a disguised way of telling everyone in the harem that the Imperial Concubine's poisoning was actually directed and acted by herself?
In this case, how can the imperial concubine still have any face?
Jun Zechen sighed in his heart. He had indulged Ling Yue many times. No matter what she did, even when the Queen Mother wanted to punish her, he stopped her. So was Ling Yue so unscrupulous now?
Jun Zechen doesn't mind women having the ability to protect themselves in the harem, nor does he care whether these women are scheming.
Because he doesn't care about them.
But the innocence of Yaoyao and Lingyue is so precious that he wants to protect it.
But now...
