Return of the Swallow

The Queen Mother looked surprised and uncertain, and couldn't help but clenched the armrests of the armchair.

"You said that Princess Zhongshun's food box was overturned and Snowball was poisoned to death after eating it? Concubine Yu, are you serious? If you dare to tell lies to deceive the Ai family, the Ai family will definitely make you look good!"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare. What I said is true! Princess Zhongshun poisoned my pet dog, turned around and ran away, and the guards actually chased her."

At this time, Li Helan, Concubine Yun and Princess Tana all came to their senses.

Li Helan looked at the Queen Mother in astonishment and said: "Mother, the bird's nest sent by the Qin family was not given to the eldest prince by you! Why, how..."

Princess Tana said: "She poisoned?"

"Ah!?" Concubine Yu exclaimed, fell to the ground, and said in horror, "How could this happen! So, the Qin family wanted to poison the eldest prince, but was accidentally broken by the concubine. The snowball was eaten by mistake. Did you steal the bird's nest that was supposed to be given to the eldest prince?"

As soon as he said this, there was silence in the room.

Everyone knows what kind of crime it is to murder the emperor's heir. Qin Yining was afraid that he was crazy, but he took advantage of this opportunity to attack!

Concubine Yun kept stirring the handkerchief in her hand, her face turned pale.

Li Helan said anxiously: "Mother, why don't you arrest that bitch quickly? She actually dared to poison Brother Hao. She is going to rebel!"

The Queen Mother murmured: "If I hadn't met you halfway, the eldest grandson of the Ai family would have been killed!"

Slapping the table, the Queen Mother stood up angrily and said through gritted teeth: "Catch the Qin family for the Ai family!"

Princess Tana said: "Queen Mother,

You must punish that poisonous woman severely! You must have asked her to perform etiquette just now, and she was holding a grudge, so she took the opportunity to poison the bird's nest! "

"It must be so!" Concubine Yun also said, "I never thought she would be so bold and dare to poison the emperor's heir! She deserves to be punished for her crime!"

Princess Tana took advantage of the situation and said: "That's true. Isn't it strange for a female to do this? Is there someone who instigated it?" The target of the attack was pointed at Pang Xiao.

Li Helan's heart skipped a beat, but she still turned to Pang Xiao and said, "Perhaps she is trying to get revenge on her mother. She hasn't been out during these days, so how could she be ordered to do it?"

Princess Tana didn't know about the past relationship between Li Helan and Pang Xiao. She only thought that Li Helan had some opinions at this time. She wanted to refute the fact that because the Queen Mother was present, she couldn't argue with the Queen Mother's biological daughter, so she just said: "What's going on?" Just check it and you’ll know.”

While he was talking, there was a rush of hurried footsteps outside. A guard rushed over to give a reply to the lieutenant outside the Nuan Pavilion.

After hearing this, the lieutenant officer immediately came in and saluted: "Go back to the Queen Mother, the commander of the guards has brought the prisoner."

"Bring him in!" the Queen Mother scolded coldly.

Because of the Queen Mother's words of "bring him in", Qin Yining was indeed brought in by the guard commander, pushed him, and fell to the ground unsteadily.

The Queen Mother sat on the throne and said with a sinking face: "What's going on!"

The guard commander cupped his hands and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, when I was patrolling the imperial garden, I heard someone shouting for an assassin, so I rushed over and arrested the fleeing Princess Zhongshun."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the guard commander nodded and retreated out of the door.

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and stared at Qin Yining coldly, "Ms. Qin, why did you want to murder the emperor's heir! Tell me who instigated you!"

Qin Yining struggled to get up, but two chamberlains from Ci'an Palace stood beside her. Seeing that she was thinking about it, they immediately stepped forward and pushed her hard. Another chamberlain kicked Qin Yining in the crook of the knee, knocking her down. Qin Yining, who was about to stand up, was kicked to his knees again.

Qin Yining groaned and felt severe pain in her legs. She also knew that she was alone and could not occupy the top spot, so she simply sat on the ground and glanced at the Queen Mother sideways: "Back to the Queen Mother, I did not poison the bird's nest." It was served from the small kitchen in the Queen Mother's palace. It was not made by the concubine herself. How many people had it passed through? If it is said to be poisonous, shouldn't it be investigated from the source?

"What's more, you slapped a big hat on my wife's crime without even investigating it. There are still three sessions of court trials for criminals, and they still have to give time to find evidence. How come you came to the Queen Mother and you just said this to my wife? To set a crime? If word spreads, isn’t the Queen Mother afraid of being laughed at by everyone in the world?"

"You!" The Queen Mother grabbed the tea bowl and threw it at Qin Yining. The broken porcelain smashed in front of Qin Yining, and the flying broken porcelain scratched the back of her hand.

"How brave! How dare you openly contradict Ai Jia! Someone, give Ai Jia a hard slap on the mouth!"

"yes!"

An older nun behind the Queen Mother immediately rolled up her sleeves and came out, walked around to the front, raised her hand and slapped her hard.

Qin Yining's face was hit to one side, and the corners of his mouth immediately split open, with a streak of blood dripping down.

Qin Yining wanted to resist, but this was the palace and she was surrounded by the Queen Mother's people. If she resisted, she would only get more severe abuse. She had no choice but to endure.

The grandma opened her bow from left to right and slapped Qin Yining four or five times in the mouth. The loud slaps echoed in the Nuan Pavilion. Qin Yining's cheeks quickly became red and swollen, and the blood lines from the corners of her mouth dripped onto her clothes, and several bright red flowers bloomed. plum.

As soon as the Queen Mother raised her hand, the nanny stopped and stood aside.

The Queen Mother said again: "Tell me, why on earth do you want to murder the emperor's heir? Could it be that your husband's family wants to rebel!"

"Is the Queen Mother planning to give in?" Qin Yining was no longer speaking smoothly, but she still argued hard.

"First, I have no reason or motive to poison the emperor's heir, and I don't need to fight for favor in the harem to secure a future for my children. Why would I do this?

"Secondly, the bird's nests were sent from the Ci'an Palace of the Queen Mother. How many people passed through the hands of the palace servants who made the bird's nests from the kitchen to the palace people who delivered the bird's nests on the road? Why didn't the Queen Mother investigate and instead made indiscriminate decisions? Surely it was the minister's wife who took one bite?

"Thirdly, Concubine Yu deliberately bumped into the concubine in the imperial garden, causing the bird's nest to fall to the ground. She said that the pug she raised died after eating the bird's nest, but who can be sure that the pug did not eat other poisons before?

"In the private sector, when there are discrepancies in the case, there is still an investigation, and there are evidences that can be tested. How come when we get to the Queen Mother, we don't ask for evidence or look at the reasons, and just bring the minister's wife to question her? And she still insists on trying to accuse the minister? Wife's home!

"By doing this, isn't the Queen Mother afraid that the founding heroes and noble family members will find out about Han Xin!"

Qin Yining's words were reasonable and well-founded. In fact, everyone knew that this was how things should be done. The Queen Mother insisted that Qin Yining did it without any investigation, which was very strange in the first place.

But who is the Queen Mother? She was the Holy One's biological mother and the master of the harem. There was no guarantee that what she did did not represent His Majesty's intention. Who has the guts to say anything at this time?

Moreover, it would be fine if he was an ordinary nobleman. Pang Xiao is the current brother who wants to interrogate Qin Yining. He has to go through the clan mansion. Even if it is not good enough, there will be three trials, but the Queen Mother directly convicts him. It is not justified no matter what.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was speechless by Qin Yining, Li Helan immediately stood up and pointed at Qin Yining and cursed: "Bitch! I know you are a black-hearted bitch! You murder the prince and you can still be justified? Do you want to rely on you? That eloquent tongue to clear yourself out? Tell you, you are dreaming!"

Li Helan turned back to the Queen Mother and said: "Mother, don't listen to her nonsense. Just lock people up and deprive them of water and food for a day without arrest. If you don't believe her, don't tell the truth!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded and ordered: "This matter involves the emperor's heir. It is a serious matter. The Ai family must not let those who harm the emperor's heir be allowed to come!"

"Yes." The guards held their hands.

"Lock up the Qin family to the Ai family. Isn't there a side hall behind Ci'an Palace! Just lock her up there!"

"Mother, you are so kind!" Li Helan said dissatisfied, "Such a prisoner should be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment! Why are you leaving her in Ci'an Palace!"

The Queen Mother said solemnly: "After all, she is the official wife of Prince Zhongshun. Although she is guilty, Prince Zhongshun is dedicated to guarding the south for the country, and he should not insult Prince Zhongshun's identity. Lock her up, and the Ai family will consult the Holy One before making a decision. "

"Yes." The guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed Qin Yining's arms from left to right, and dragged him out.

Just as this was happening, a middle official outside the Nuan Pavilion shouted: "The Queen is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the queen in a red narrow-sleeved shirt walking towards her. When she saw Qin Yining, who was being dragged in a disheveled shape with red and swollen cheeks, she immediately scolded: "I, the palace, stop it!"

The guards hesitated, but finally stopped.

The Queen took a deep look at Qin Yining, quickly entered the Nuan Pavilion, and bowed to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I don't know what Qin has done wrong, and you want to punish her like this? This matter..."

"Queen! The Qin family poisoned the bird's nest that the Ai family gave to Brother Hao, with the intention of murdering the emperor's heir. Do you, a mother, no longer care about your son's life and death, but you still want to defend a convict?" The Queen Mother said extremely. Quickly interrupt the queen.

The Queen was stunned, her face turned pale, and then she shook her head and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Qin is not such a person, she has saved the eldest prince before. I dare to use myself as a guarantee, Qin will never poison a person. Innocent child."

"You vouch for it? The Ai family thinks you are stupid! What an innocent child, the Qin family has turned against you!"

"The Queen Mother is aware of it! Have you ever verified this matter? You convicted the Qin family without any investigation or questioning. How can you convince the world if you tell me about it?"

"Bold!" the Queen Mother shouted angrily, pointing a finger at the Queen, and said angrily, "Okay, Queen, have you made up your mind to turn your elbows outward? You are trying to excuse the Qin family in every possible way, don't you worry about the eldest prince at all? ? You are simply unqualified to be such a mother! It seems that the Ai family needs to keep Brother Hao by their side to avoid being harmed by ignorant people!"

The queen's heart skipped a beat. The queen mother was threatening her with the power to raise the prince!

The queen wanted to raise her children herself.

But her conscience would not allow such an unjust case, which looked suspicious at first sight, to appear before her eyes!

"I believe in Mrs. Qin. Besides, if Mrs. Qin directly poisoned the bird's nest, wouldn't it be easy to be discovered? Mrs. Qin is not a fool. Why would she do something that would be known to be her at a glance? "The queen argued hard.
