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.
However, Su Jingyao felt relaxed at the moment, as she had 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 took the case on himself 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 already found out that the poison was administered by Qin'er, and Guo'er was actually framed by her."
"Qin'er's clothes were stained with aconite powder, and this has been 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 aconite powder under the tree roots yesterday."
"But after careful investigation, I found that no one had buried aconite powder under the tree roots last night."
"Qin'er's remarks, I boldly speculate, are an attempt to pin the blame for the poisoning of the Imperial Concubine on Concubine Chunshu."
As Anshun said this, he glanced upwards quietly and cautiously, secretly gazing at His Majesty's expression.
Jun Zechen's ink-black eyes stared straight ahead, his face expressionless.
One hand rested on the armrest, while the other hand gently turned the ring on his hand.
He only uttered two words lightly: "Continue."
Anshun hurriedly continued, "The servant then used some special methods to interrogate Ping'er. Ping'er said that she was only passing on information about Zhaochun Palace to Qin'er."
"She herself had never come into contact with aconite powder and didn't even know what it was."
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 is also aware of my interrogation methods. Ping'er is telling the truth."
When Jun Zechen heard this, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything, and a cold aura 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.
Anshun's heart trembled suddenly, and he knelt hurriedly, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Qin'er is the imperial concubine's person?"
Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice low and majestic, suppressing the anger that was about to burst out.
"Qin'er said she was An Zhaorong's..."
Anshun answered with gritted teeth, his expression slightly helpless and 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 has been helping to conceal what Qin'er has done.
It is obvious that the imperial concubine not only placed 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 Chunshu out of the palace, frame An Zhaorong and Concubine Chunshu, 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 some guesses from the beginning, thinking 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 I took this opportunity to punish her.
But he didn't expect Ling Yue to be so unreasonable. Has Yaoyao ever wronged her?
Even after Yaoyao first entered the Eastern Palace, she had been deliberately avoiding him and distancing herself from him for Ling Yue's sake.
Afterwards, 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, can Ling Yue do such unscrupulous things?
"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 executions will be carried out outside the Yikun Palace, and the Imperial Concubine will be allowed to witness the executions."
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 die. His Majesty did not punish the Imperial Concubine directly on the surface, but by carrying out the punishment in the Yiku Palace, wasn't he indirectly telling everyone in the harem that the Imperial Concubine's poisoning was actually staged by her own actions?
In this case, how can the imperial concubine still have any face?
Jun Zechen sighed inwardly. He had indulged Ling Yue many times. No matter what she did, even when his mother wanted to punish her, he stopped her. Was that why Ling Yue was 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 or not.
Because he doesn't care about them.
But Yaoyao and Lingyue's innocence is precious, and he wants to protect it.
But now...
