Chapter 646 Drinking wine releases military power
The queen seemed to smile a bit: "If it wasn't the saint who poisoned herself, who else would there be besides her? I'm afraid she is the only one in the palace who has had a feud with the saint."
Li Beibei looked at the person in front of her, feeling an indescribably strange feeling in her heart.
Li Beibei said: "Since the empress knows that I was framed, she will definitely uphold justice for me."
The queen said: "I know that it is useless for the saint to be wronged. For such a big matter, it is natural for the emperor to decide. When the emperor wakes up, he will naturally summon the saint and interrogate him."
Li Beibei asked again: "The empress empress called me here at this moment..."
"Naturally, I'm guiding the saint."
Li Beibei stared into the queen's eyes and said, "I see, empress."
The queen looked at Li Beibei with a kind of admiration: "The saint is indeed a smart person. I believe that this time, she will be able to get her wronged. Don't worry, the saint. Since it was Concubine Liu Gui who framed you, if the emperor pursues it, I will surely I will try my best to protect you and everyone in your palace."
At this time, Li Beibei's heart became clearer.
Li Beibei said: "Then I really want to thank the Queen."
The queen said: "Since the matter has been clarified, the saintess should go down first. This palace is waiting for the day when the saintess will be cleared of her injustice."
Li Beibei was brought back to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice again.
Li Beibei sat alone in the cell, and the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong.
When Li Beibei heard that the emperor and queen had been poisoned, the first reaction in Li Beibei's mind was that someone was setting her up.
Of course, the first person Li Beibei thought of was Liu Rumei.
But after thinking about it for a while, Li Beibei felt that it was impossible.
Liu Rumei has no motive at all.
And even if Liu Rumei wanted to harm the queen, she would not do anything in the cake.
She is a concubine who married from afar, what good is it to kill the emperor.
What's more, she was still pregnant with the emperor's first child.
Xuanyuan Junyi has declared in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that as long as the child is a boy, he will be crowned prince.
It can be said that now is the time when Liu Rufeng is most favored.
She had absolutely no reason to frame her only reliance in Donghua.
And the one most likely to do this is...the queen.
As for the queen, Li Beibei never seemed to know anything about it.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is gentle and generous, mother-in-law, and she treats the concubines in the palace fairly and generously, and she will not feel jealous because of who is favored.
Even Concubine Liu Gui couldn't fault her at all.
This is a perfect character set up now.
If she hadn't specially summoned her to Fengxi Palace today, Li Beibei wouldn't have doubted her at all.
But from the very beginning, Zhao Zhongyi told her about the top ten tortures along the way, and when she arrived in the queen's palace, she gave her kindness and majesty, using the people in her palace as threats in words.
Li Beibei knew it in his heart.
Who is the person who most hopes that something will happen to Concubine Liu Gui?
Isn't it obvious?
But Li Beibei didn't have any evidence.
It was the first time that Li Beibei felt the intrigue in this palace.
The kind that can lose your life if you are not careful.
But what is she going to do next?
Although she doesn't like Concubine Liu Gui, it is impossible to accuse an innocent person in order to protect herself, let alone he has an unborn child.
Li Beibei sat in the prison in a daze.
But Li Beibei also knows that her current situation is beyond her control.
She is not just a life.
There are still 17 lives in the palace.
It is even more impossible for her to identify the queen, and Li Beibei is just suspicious, without definite evidence.
Secondly, the queen was also poisoned, and she has cleared herself of suspicion.
Even if she raises doubts, everyone will not believe her, they will only think that she is treasonous.
I don't know how long it has been.
The previous jailer came again.
The jailer opened the door with a jug of wine in his hand.
Li Beibei smelled the smell of alcohol coming to her face.
The jailer was drunk, pointed at Li Beibei and said, "Bitch, come and serve your grandpa."
Li Beibei frowned, looking at the jailer coldly.
The drunk jailer saw that Li Beibei was still sitting there, and said, "Why are you still standing there? Let me tell you, here, I am the emperor. If you take good care of me, you will be able to suffer less."
After speaking, he rushed over.
Li Beibei kicked his wretched big face on the plate.
The jailer was kicked and fell to the ground, and the wine jug in his hand was also smashed to pieces.
But he became sober all of a sudden, and became hideous.
The jailer got up, pointed at Li Beibei's nose and scolded: "Bitch, do you know that your death is imminent, what you committed is a felony to punish the nine clans, the emperor and I can't save you when I come, if I don't see You are so pretty that I don't bother to talk to you, if you want to have a good life in the future, then obey me, at least I can guarantee you a full meal before you die, otherwise..."
Li Beibei looked up: "Otherwise what?"
The jailer said: "Otherwise, I will make you unable to live or die."
After speaking, he rushed over again.
But this time, before he could touch Li Beibei, he was picked up from behind like a chicken, and then thrown directly against the wall.
The jailer just wanted to yell, but when he saw that person clearly, he instantly woke up, ignored the pain, knelt on the ground and quickly kowtowed: "I don't know if it's Master Wei coming here, so offended, the little one deserves to die."
Wei Feng couldn't hide his anger: "You really deserve to die, how dare you touch the saint."
The jailer said: "She is a witch who murdered the emperor and queen, and she will definitely be sentenced to death..."
Before he finished speaking, the jailer was kicked hard in the chest again.
And it was not Wei Feng who kicked him this time.
It was Fu Jingmo.
The jailer was lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet, and a fierce fist hit him in the face again.
It was none other than Chen Jingrui who was beating him.
Li Beibei looked at the three men who went out for her, and couldn't tell what it was like.
Especially seeing Fu Jingmo, Li Beibei felt a lot more at ease.
Although Li Beibei knew it, it was different now.
When she was in trouble, Fu Jingmo might not be able to help her.
But somehow, seeing Fu Jingmo's face, Li Beibei felt very at ease.
Li Beibei resisted the urge to rush forward.
Because she didn't know if she could turn the danger out this time, she didn't want to implicate Fu Jingmo.
The jailer over there has been beaten to death.
The other jailers also came over, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.
The servant of the Ministry of punishment has also rushed over after hearing the sound.
In front of Wei Feng, he was still respectful and respectful: "Master Wei is here today, what is your order?"
The people from the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to delay, and quickly released him.
Before leaving, Wei Feng warned: "No one in Xianzi Building is allowed to move."
"It didn't move, it didn't move, it's all locked up. The guy just now was drunk and lawless. I will definitely punish him. Master Wei, please go."
Li Beibei was taken to Weiyang Palace.
Meet a lot of people along the way.
Three men surrounded her.
It didn't look like she was promoting a prisoner, but she looked like her bodyguard.
Li Beibei was silent all the way.
Wei Feng didn't ask any questions either.
Fu Jingmo was naturally reticent all the way, not saying a word.
Chen Jingrui wanted to speak several times, but in the end he swallowed it down.
In fact, they don't know what happened.
How come the emperor and queen were poisoned overnight.
I still ate the birthday cake made by the saint.
Now the emperor woke up and summoned the saint.
They didn't know how to deal with the saint given the emperor's moody character.
After all, everyone is very worried.
Soon arrived at Weiyang Palace.
Xuanyuan Junyi sat on a chair.
There is no one else in the palace except Zhang Shengquan.
After Li Beibei was brought in, Xuanyuan Junyi ordered everyone else to retreat.
Everyone backed out, Zhang Shengquan also closed the door.
There are only Li Beibei and Xuanyuan Junyi in the huge bedroom.
Li Beibei stood two meters away from Xuanyuan Junyi.
She didn't speak either, but looked at Xuanyuan Junyi with a complicated expression.
Xuanyuan Junyi looked pale and his body was very weak.
It looks like he is recovering from a serious illness.
Li Beibei couldn't hold back after all and said, "Are you okay?"
Xuanyuan Junyi said: "I still can't die."
Li Beibei finally said something to defend herself: "I didn't poison you."
Xuanyuan Junyi said naturally: "I know, you didn't inflict the poison."
Li Beibei showed a look of surprise on his face: "You know someone framed me, but do you know who it is?"
Xuanyuan Junyi said: "If my guess is correct, all of this should be a bitter trick directed and performed by the queen herself."
Li Beibei was even more shocked.
It turned out that Xuanyuan Junyi knew all about it.
Since Xuanyuan Junyi knew about it, Li Beibei didn't need to explain anything.
Xuanyuan Junyi asked again: "The empress should have met you secretly, right?"
Li Beibei nodded.
"Did she ask you to identify Concubine Liu Gui?"
Unexpectedly, everything was within Xuanyuan Junyi's expectations.
Li Beibei was silent for a while, then said: "The emperor's lesson."
Xuanyuan Junyi twitched the corner of his mouth: "This time the empress really paid for it, and almost even lost her own life."
Li Beibei said: "Why does the queen do this?"
Xuanyuan Junyi said: "Because she couldn't bear a child, he didn't allow any other children to be born in the palace."
Li Beibei had already thought of these things.
I didn't expect a woman's mind to be so vicious.
Li Beibei said: "So in these years, no child has been born in the palace?"
Xuanyuan Junyi said: "The imperial physicians in the palace are all hers. For so many years, she has been using drugs to control the concubines in the harem. Even if some concubines are really pregnant, the children will be aborted before they grow up."
Li Beibei only felt creepy when he heard it.
She asked puzzledly: "Why do you keep such a person by your side and let him be the queen of the world?"
A helpless smile appeared on Xuanyuan Junyi's face.
Xuanyuan Junyi said: "Because her surname is Chen, and because the Xuanyuan family's world is about to become her Chen family's world."
Li Beibei understood instantly.
Queen Chen Peiqing is the daughter of General Chen.
General Chen holds the military power in his hands, if he wants to seek rebellion, it will be easy.
The disciples of the Chen family are also all over the court, and the harem is controlled by the empress.
It can be said that Xuanyuan Junyi is involuntary everywhere.
The corner of Xuanyuan Junyi's mouth curled up: "It's ridiculous that in the eyes of the people in the world, she is an impeccable queen. Every year there are disasters in various places, and many refugees flood out of Chang'an City, she will go out of the city to set up sheds in person. Porridge, her prestige among the people is even louder than mine, if she is abolished for no reason, I am afraid that all the people in the world will stand up to oppose it, and then the country will be even more precarious."
Li Beibei looked at the helpless Xuanyuan Junyi, and felt a bit of contemporaneity in her heart.
Everyone hopes to be born in the emperor's family.
But what about being born in the emperor's family.
It's not the same as being involuntary and controlled by others.
Li Beibei sighed: "Then what should we do now? Are we going to follow the Queen's will and frame Concubine Liu Gui? She will be involved as well as the fetus in her womb?"
Xuanyuan Junyi slapped the table with his palm.
Then he said: "Even if I am useless again, I must keep my child this time."
Li Beibei was silent for a while, then said: "Xuanyuan Junyi, for the sake of our being friends, I will help you."
This is the first time Li Beibei called Xuanyuan Junyi's name.
In fact, after getting along for such a period of time, Li Beibei has long regarded Xuanyuan Junyi as a friend.
Li Beibei naturally couldn't see his friends suffering here.
Xuanyuan Junyi showed a slightly surprised look on his face: "Help me, how can you help me?"
Li Beibei said, "Have you ever heard that drinking a glass of wine releases military power?"
Xuanyuan Junyi shook his head: "A glass of wine releases military power?"
Li Beibei said: "Since General Chen holds a lot of power, we should find a way to weaken his power. It is best to let him voluntarily surrender his military power."
"Voluntary surrender of military power, easier said than done?"
Li Beibei said: "As long as a person is a person, he must have weaknesses. We just need to grasp his weaknesses."
Xuanyuan Junyi looked thoughtful.
Then he said: "If we talk about weakness, the queen is his only weakness."
Li Beibei looked at Xuanyuan Junyi.
Xuanyuan Junyi continued: "General Chen spent most of his life on the battlefield. When he was young, he gave birth to two sons, but both died before the full moon, and then he had no more children. Until she was in her forties, Mrs. Chen suddenly Pregnant and got a daughter, she is considered an old woman, and the pain is unbearable."
Li Beibei said: "This daughter is the empress of today."
Xuanyuan Junyi nodded: "Peiqing and I are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together. When we were teenagers, our relationship was really good. From a very early age, I knew that she would become my future wife. I always thought it was God gave me a blessing, but when she became a queen, she changed, because she fell off a horse when she was young and fell into an old disease, and I am afraid that she will not be able to have children in this life, so what she does not have, and other people in the harem are not allowed to have, Over the years, she has been gentle and submissive on the surface, but in fact she has already gone mad."
