Chapter 40 Tracking down the real murderer
The words of the delicate palace maid made everyone turn their attention to Mu Ling'er, which was profound.
Shangguan Youlan slowly said: "Your Majesty, I think the relationship between the princess and the eighth prince is good, but I'm afraid it's not what everyone thinks. Something must have happened that made the princess sad, and the eighth prince is trying to persuade her.
maybe."
"Princess, please tell me why you were sad and crying at that time?" Mo Zhengxuan paused and finally turned to ask Mu Ling'er.
Mu Ling'er was stunned, but didn't know how to answer.
Could it be that if she was asked to say it in public, she would realize that she fell in love with Mo Qingyue, and that Mo Qingyue pretended to be Shangguan Youlan?
Even though Mo Qingyue doesn't have any affection for her now, she still can't bear to do this.
"Princess, do you have something to hide? If you tell us about the situation, we can naturally understand what happened, and maybe we can excuse you." Seeing Mu Ling'er silent, Shangguan Youlan
Then he asked.
Mu Ling'er shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, your concubine, at that time I just thought of some sad things in the past, and then I shed tears. The Eighth Prince has a good relationship with me, so he naturally wants to persuade me. I don't think there is anything wrong with it.
Inappropriateness.”
Mu Ling'er's statement was naturally very far-fetched, and the coldness in Mo Qingyue's eyes became more and more obvious.
Shangguan Youlan pondered for a while, then turned to Mo Qingchen and said: "Your Majesty, since the sobering soup was made at my concubine's command, and the eighth prince was poisoned after drinking the sobering soup, then he should first make the sobering soup.
Check out the hangover soup."
"Well, since my beloved concubine suggested this, let's start with the hangover soup. If the hangover soup is poisonous, the result will naturally be known." Nodding, Mo Zhengxuan agreed with Shangguan Youlan's statement.
Soon someone brought the sobering soup up, along with the leftover sobering soup that the Eighth Prince Mo Qingchen drank.
Everyone stared at the man who was testing the hangover soup. The whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Mu Ling'er inadvertently turned her head to look at Mo Qingyue, only to see that his whole body was cold and had no warmth at all.
After checking for a long time, the man finally knelt in front of Mo Zhengxuan and said, "Your Majesty, there is no poison in this hangover soup. However, the bowl of hangover soup left by the Eighth Prince is poisonous!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was moved.
This test result showed that the hangover soup made by Shangguan Youlan was not poisonous, but the hangover soup that Mo Qingchen drank was poisonous.
Therefore, someone must have poisoned the sobering soup that Mo Qingchen drank, which led to Mo Qingchen's death from poisoning!
"Your Majesty, since there is no poison in this hangover soup, we should find out who has touched the hangover soup that the Eighth Prince drank, so that it will not be difficult to find the murderer!" After the man finished speaking, Shangguan Youlan turned to look at Mo
Zhengxuan said.
Mo Zhengxuan's heart suddenly trembled.
After hearing the words of the examiner, the little palace maid immediately kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's really not a slave who did this. It's really not a slave who did it."
"Your Majesty, I also feel that this is not the solution. If we continue to pursue this, I'm afraid we won't find the real culprit." Shangguan Youlan pondered for a while, then turned to Mo Zhengxuan and said.
Mo Zhengxuan asked thoughtfully: "My dear concubine, according to your wishes, what should we do now?"
"I think I might be able to find out something if I check the poison in the sobering soup. After all, the source of this poison is limited." Shangguan Youlan said slowly.
As soon as Shangguan Youlan finished speaking, Mo Qingyue, who had been silent all this time, said, "Okay, let's check the poison in the sobering soup. Maybe we can find out something."
The person doing the inspection looked at Mo Zhengxuan, who nodded and signaled him to start the inspection.
Time passed extremely slowly, as if it had stood still.
"Back to the Emperor, Your Majesty, the poison in this sobering soup is very rare. This is the first time I have seen it." The man knelt in front of Mo Zhengxuan and said with fear.
Mo Zhengxuan asked with confusion on his face: "What do you mean, this poison is not from our country, Ming Yue?"
"I don't dare to make any rash assertions, but I can guarantee that this poison must be something I have never seen before. As for what kind of poison it is, I really can't tell." The person who examined it had a look of fear on his face.
He has never seen the poison that was tested. This is simply a big joke.
Everyone present looked at each other, not knowing how to proceed.
"Brother Imperial, if you agree, I would like a former doctor to examine it. He is well-informed and may be able to tell the origin of this poison." After a long while, Mo Qingyue finally said.
Mu Ling'er's body trembled slightly, but she quickly controlled it.
A smile flashed across Shangguan Youlan's eyes, and she nodded and said, "That's great. Maybe the doctor can figure out the origin of the poison, and all the problems will be solved, and the real culprit will be found soon."
Mo Zhengxuan could only nod his head and said, "Okay, then as the sixth brother said, send the doctor up quickly to check the origin of this poison."
Immediately someone went down to summon the doctor.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard for such a long time. Let's go down and take a rest. If there are any test results, I will tell you." A tired look appeared on Mo Zhengxuan's face.
No one dared to disobey and retreated silently.
"Your Majesty, have you been too tired from recent events? I see that you don't look well." Walking to Mo Zhengxuan's side, Shangguan Youlan kneaded his shoulders considerately and spoke softly.
Mo Zhengxuan let out a long sigh, "Eighth brother had an accident, and I was very sad, but looking at the sixth brother's current condition, it really worries me."
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince and the Sixth Prince are naturally close to each other. Now that the Eighth Prince is gone, the Sixth Prince will of course be sad. However, things will naturally get better in a while. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry." Shangguan Youlan.
The voice is gentle and the words are considerate.
Mo Zhengxuan patted her little hand and said with a melancholy face: "Yes, things will eventually pass. However, I am very worried this time, who killed the eighth brother?"
"Your Majesty, don't think too much, things will eventually come to light." Shangguan Youlan took a cup of Tremella porridge from Jin Yue's hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the Tremella porridge that I made specially for you.
, you have been tired for a day, drink first."
"My beloved, you are really considerate of me." Mo Zhengxuan took the white fungus porridge from Shangguan Youlan's hand and said with a smile on his face.
Shangguan Youlan has always been gentle and considerate, so she took the position of the imperial concubine in such a short period of time.
"Your Majesty, you have been working hard for such a long time. Why don't you go and take a rest? When the results are available, the servants will naturally notify you." Shangguan Youlan persuaded in a soft voice.
Mo Zhengxuan shook his head and said: "My dear concubine, I know you are doing my best, but this matter is not trivial. It is the eighth brother who died. I must get to the bottom of it and give the dead eighth brother an explanation!"
A complicated look flashed in Shangguan Youlan's eyes, but she didn't say anything, she just gently slapped Mo Zhengxuan's back.
But as soon as Mu Ling'er walked out of the hall, she saw Mo Qingyue standing in front of her with a sinister look on his face.
"My lord, you still believe that Qingchen was poisoned to death by me, right?" Taking a deep breath, Mu Ling'er felt filled with despair.
This man always believed that she killed Mo Qingchen and didn't even give her a chance to defend herself.
Mo Qingyue's red eyes stared at her sinisterly, and said coldly: "Mu Ling'er, if you hadn't administered the poison, why were you afraid when I asked the previous doctor to check the poison? If I guess
If the poison is good, you made the poison, right? However, the poison you drank that day only made people temporarily comatose, but the poison you drank for Badi could kill him!"
Mu Ling'er suddenly widened her eyes, and the blood on her face faded away.
"So, you have long believed that I was the one who administered the poison, so you asked the doctor who treated me before to check the poison?" After being stunned for a long time, Mu Ling'er finally found her voice.
Mo Qingyue said coldly: "You are cunning and will use any means to achieve your goals. Moreover, you are the only one who can make that kind of poison. What reason do you have for me to believe that it was not you who poisoned Qingchen."
Mu Ling'er stood blankly for a long time, trying to calm herself down, and walked forward with a pale face.
"Mu Ling'er, are you feeling guilty and don't dare to confront me? Tell me why you want to kill the eighth brother, he trusts you so much..." Mo Qingyue suddenly grabbed Mu Ling'er's arm, and Mo Qingyue's
There was a cold chill in the voice.
Mu Ling'er was unprepared and was suddenly pulled by Mo Qingyue, staggering and almost falling to the ground.
She calmed down for a long time, and finally slowly raised her head to look at Mo Qingyue and said, "My lord, you have already concluded that I killed Qingchen, why do you still ask me?"
"You..." Mo Qingyue was stunned for a moment. Looking at Mu Ling'er's pale face, a feeling of pity emerged in his heart.
He tried his best to suppress this subtle feeling and looked at Mu Ling'er, who looked miserable, with hatred.
"Your Majesty, the test results will come out soon. Can't you wait even for a moment? If it is really found that I was the poisoner, then you will..." Mu Ling'er took a deep breath.
He said word by word: "Just kill me!"
Mo Qingyue's body trembled slightly, he slowly raised his head, and stared at Mu Ling'er sinisterly, "Mu Ling'er, if it is really you who killed the eighth brother, then I will definitely kill you to avenge the eighth brother, no matter what
At what price.”
"My lord, since you have made up your mind, why do you need to question me again?" Mu Ling'er smiled sadly and walked forward slowly.
