Chapter 3313 3315【The mastermind behind the scenes】
Seeing the emperor's repeated questioning, Gao Xiyue's face became paler and she could hardly sit still.
"Yes...yes...yes..." Xiao Fuzi trembled, not daring to say any more, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Gao Xiyue.
"You **** slave, how can you still bite me after doing such evil things as sitting down!" Gao Xiyue was so frightened when she saw this, she couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked him a few times.
“Hui Fei, step back, he hasn’t said anything yet, why are you so excited?” Xiang Nan scolded, and then gave Li Yu a look.
Li Yu quickly led the palace maids forward and pulled her down, "Empress Hui Concubine, please calm down, Concubine Hui, please calm down~"
"Say. If you don't say anything, you will be disobeying the decree and I will destroy your nine clans." Xiang Nan said coldly.
“The servant said, the servant said that Concubine Hui wrote to her family in advance and asked them to prepare snakeberry juice, so I went to get it.” Xiao Fuzi had no choice but to admit.
“…” Upon hearing his words, Gao Xiyue suddenly became unsteady and almost fell to the ground.
"Huifei, is this true?" Xiang Nan looked at Gao Xiyue and said, "I hope you tell the truth, otherwise, I will have to send people to raid your home."
“Your Majesty…I am my concubine…I am my concubine…I am my concubine…I am aware of my mistake.” Gao Xiyue could not bear the pressure and finally admitted it.
Otherwise, if the emperor really went to raid the Gao Mansion, he might not be able to find anything.
“Then who came up with the idea of luring snakes with snakeberry juice?” Xiang Nan asked again.
“It was a slave who thought of it.” Xiao Fuzi admitted.
"Then who told you that snakeberry juice can attract snakes? Don't tell me that you, a little eunuch, can still understand the properties of medicine?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"I grew up in the countryside. I have seen snakeberries and know its medicinal properties." Xiao Fuzi said quickly.
"You are quite capable." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "Li Yu, the Ministry of Life and Punishment arrested his family for detailed investigation. I want to see if he is really that powerful."
"Your Majesty, Xiao Fuzi's younger brother Xiao Luzi is also in the palace. I will arrest him right now." Li Yu said immediately.
Xiang Nan nodded.
When Xiao Fuzi heard this, his face turned pale.
…
Subsequently, Xiaoluzi was brought closer.
Xiang Nan asked Li Yu to hand over the snakeberry juice, "Do you know what this is?"
After Xiao Luzi smelled it, he shook his head in confusion, "I don't know."
“Okay, let’s go down.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.
Xiao Luzi was taken down again with a look of bewilderment.
"Come on, **** slave, who did you listen to about the snakeberry juice that can attract snakes? Who gave you the idea?" Xiang Nanhe asked, "If you continue to refuse to tell the truth, I will tell you now. Order someone to beat Xiaoluzi to death."
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life. I would like to say that it was Sister Lixin who told me that snakeberry juice can attract snakes, so that I designed it for Empress Hui Fei." Xiao Fuzi could only say.
"Li Xin?!" Gao Xiyue was shocked when she heard this.
Li Xin is the personal slave of Jin Yuyan, a nobleman from Jia. She actually got involved with the **** in her palace and asked the little **** to give her advice to harm nobleman Shu.
Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Li Yu, hand Li Xin over to the Shenxing Division for interrogation. Break one of Xiao Fuzi's legs and expel Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi from the palace together. The guards guarding the palace gate that day were each given twenty big boards. , to serve as a warning. In the future, any person who leaves the palace must have permission from the master and the chief eunuch.
You must be searched when entering and exiting, and all items taken out must be checked by the Taiyuan Hospital first. All correspondence will also be checked to see if there are any leaks. Keep originals of all letters and send copies.
Concubine Hui harmed the emperor's heir, and the crime should not be punished. Fortunately, she was discovered in time and did not cause a big mistake. And being taken advantage of. In consideration of my many years of friendship, I was demoted to the rank of Hui Guiren and was confined to the Xiang Palace for half a year to reflect on my mistakes. "
“Hey.” Li Yu said immediately.
“I thank you, Lord, for your kindness, my slave. Thank you, Lord for your kindness.” Xiao Fuzi thanked him quickly.
"I thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Xiyue also knelt down and kowtowed.
With what she has done, it is considered a great favor from the emperor to not be relegated to the cold palace, and she does not dare to expect anything more.
…
That night, Li Xin was taken to the Criminal Division for torture.
Turning around, Xiang Nan received a report from Li Yu, "Your Majesty, after Li Xin entered the Shen Puning Department, she has always been very strict. No matter how she asked, she only said that she wanted to share the master's worries, so she instigated Xiao Xin. Fuzi advised Hui Guiren to use snakeberry juice to harm Shu Guiren. The Shenxing Division could not ask any more questions."
"In this case, let the Shenxing Department kill her with a stick. Let all the maids and eunuchs in the palace enter the Shenxing Department and watch their execution with their own eyes. Let them know that this will be the fate of them if they dare to cause trouble in the palace in the future. "
Xiang Nan ordered, "Since I came to the throne, I have always appreciated their hard work and been merciful. Unexpectedly, I have spoiled them so much that I dared to murder the emperor's heir. I am so bold and unreasonable!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down, I will take care of it now." Li Yu said quickly.
Subsequently, Li Xin was beaten to death in front of the eunuchs and maids of the palace. This also made the eunuchs and maids in the palace turn pale with fright, and they couldn't calm down for several days.
This incident of murdering the emperor's heir naturally spread to everyone in the palace.
Everyone felt very emotional about this matter.
At first glance, Gao Xiyue looked so noble and unparalleled, but she didn't expect that she was so vicious and wanted to harm Shu Guiren just because she had no children. She was really cruel and cruel.
Secondly, I didn’t expect that this matter may seem simple, but there are so many twists and turns behind it. It turned out to be Jin Yuyan's personal slave, Li Xin, who instigated the **** Xiao Fuzi to trick Gao Xiyue into taking action... In this way, Gao Xiyue was being taken advantage of, which was both stupid and bad.
Thirdly, Xiang Nan handled the case strictly and settled the case clearly in just a few strokes, which really frightened some treacherous villains so that they did not dare to make any further moves.
Furthermore, everyone knew there was something fishy about Li Xin’s death.
As a slave, how could she have the courage to attack the emperor's heir? There must be someone behind her.
And this person is obviously her master Jin Yuyan.
Although the emperor only punished Gao Xiyue, Xiao Fuzi, Xiao Luzi and Li Xin, he did not punish Jin Yuyan in any way.
But as long as everyone in the palace is not stupid, they can all see who Li Xin died for.
If it weren't for keeping Jin Yuyan's secret, why would she take all the blame on herself?
From this, they all saw Jin Yuyan's vicious heart. It was obvious that she wanted to harm Shu Guiren, but she borrowed a knife to kill someone and encouraged Gao Xiyue to do it.
At that time, even if something happens, Gao Xiyue will be the unlucky one. After all, Xiao Fuzi is hers, and her snakeberry juice is prepared at home, so she can't escape her involvement even if she wants to get away with it.
If Xiang Nan hadn't noticed clearly and found out that someone else was instigating Xiao Fuzi, no one would have known that Jin Yuyan was the real culprit behind the scenes.
