The First Empress - Chapter 293

Chapter 293 Everyone Pointed At
“What’s inside?” Huiqi asked, pretending to be interested. “Eunuch Lu, present it.”

Eunuch Lu inserted the fly whisk into his back collar. He walked over and placed the cinnabar tray firmly in front of Huiqi. Huiqi stretched out his hand and opened the scarlet veil. Immediately, jewelry gushed out. The purest and flawless luster that could only be found in nature actually surpassed the bright moonlight. Everyone looked at each other in confusion as they looked at what was going on on on the high platform.

Linglong was knowledgeable. Although she had never seen this before, it looked like jade, but there was a strange coldness. It was like a water stain in a clear spring. A few small but bright stones were placed in the tray.

“I want to ask, what exactly is this?”

What exactly was Han Xiuyi holding? Everyone’s eyes almost fell at the same time. Finally, there was someone who was knowledgeable and said, “Could it be a diamond?” Only then did Linglong understand what Han Xiuyi was going to do. It seemed that all of the hostility that was accumulating was facing her. Huiqi was born with charcoal in her chest since she was young. She did not have a keen eye when she saw such a thing. She said, “You gave me this. I am not a makeup concubine. If this is useless, I will just give it to her.” Just as he finished speaking, Han Xiuyi suddenly knelt on the ground and laughed. “Has the Emperor felt unwell recently? Sometimes, his abdominal pain is like a knife. Sometimes, he wished he could snatch the ground with his head to avoid fainting from the pain?” Han Xiuyi asked.

After she finished her question, she glanced at Linglong. The sorrow in Linglong’s heart was like a seed that had broken through the ground, slowly growing stronger and stronger.

“This is the diamond. The Emperor should know how many people died because of the diamond in the previous dynasty. If the Emperor has any of these symptoms, I advise the Emperor to take care of himself for the rest of his life. This is hopeless.” She suddenly laughed strangely. After she finished laughing, she drew her beautiful and pure face closer to Linglong and said, “All of this was done by Imperial Concubine Yan secretly. Your Majesty, all of this was Imperial Concubine Yan …”

“Concubine Yan?” Huiqi said loudly, It was like cutting a stone with a blunt force. Linglong did not know what force drove her to stand in front of Huiqi, but after she stood firmly, Linglong’s heart suddenly became clear. What had happened for a long time was like a string of beautiful golden threads dressed in pearls. One by one, she wore them smoothly and smoothly.

“What does Han Xiuyi mean? Tell me?” Huiqi Gu Jing’s calm eyes fell over. His eyes, which were used to seeing life and death parting, suddenly had an unprecedented dim and disappointed expression. “Linglong, tell me, what exactly is the connection between diamonds and you?”

“I have no connection. This is the first time I have seen diamonds. I feel that they are extremely beautiful.” After Linglong finished speaking, she looked at Han Xiuyi and said, Han Xiuyi looked at Linglong coldly and said, “Imperial Concubine Yan came to the Shanggong Bureau after the death of her concubine’s twin brother, General Han. At that time, the Crown Prince of the Western Palace and the Crown Prince also came. They asked her for the powder of the diamond.” “Yes … I didn’t say anything, but Your Majesty, this diamond powder can only be used for one purpose, killing people.”

“Are you saying that I have already suffered a great deal? I have already eaten the powder of diamonds?” Huiqi was furious and couldn’t believe that he had already suffered an unexpected injury.

‘”Does the Emperor feel that his body is getting worse every day? He often suffers from a strange pain in his stomach. The blood in his dantian is unable to circulate, and he has no strength. He wants to eat, but he can’t swallow. After eating, it hurts like a heart-wrenching pain. There is always sweat on his head, and his feet are like walking on stilts.” Han Xiuyi analyzed the symptoms one by one and then looked at Huiqi. Huiqi pointed at Linglong and said, “Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

“I don’t know what’s going on,” Linglong looked at Huiqi and said, “I don’t know why Empress Han Xiuyi came here. However, I did receive a paper bag when General Han died. This paper bag was sent by Xi and the Crown Prince.” After Linglong finished speaking, she looked around. The Crown Prince and Xi He had already knelt down. “Father Emperor, the contents of the paper bag were personally wrapped by Empress Han Xiuyi. She said that it was most suitable for Father Emperor to refresh his mind. She also instructed her son to add more to the Emperor’s three meals.” After Xi and the Crown Prince finished speaking, they coldly looked at Han Xiuyi in front of them and said, “Your Highness is spouting blood right now. Why on earth did you come here?”

“I didn’t, I didn’t–” Han Xiuyi didn’t expect things to develop like this. She originally thought that she could avenge her younger brother this time. Han Qi’s death was ultimately due to Huiqi, but Huiqi had no choice but to do so. In the end, it was because of Linglong. If Han Qi and Linglong hadn’t met by chance in the crowd, if they hadn’t met by chance in the past, there wouldn’t have been such an outcome.

When Han Qi died, she had already started to calculate. She had personally given this bag of diamond powder to the Crown Prince of Xi He. At that time, Linglong was also disheartened. She had already prepared the medicine Poisonous Huiqi, but Linglong had left a path for herself in the end. She did not make a move because of a single thought. This was what happened today.

‘”Linglong? You really hate me like this. I have always treated you well. You have been promoted by me ever since you entered the palace. You have been promoted again and again. Actually, I helped you in the end. I believe you. That’s why I entrusted you with this important task. Tell me, why did you dissipate your conscience and plot against me?” Huiqi was obviously prejudiced. After he finished speaking, his questioning eyes fell over. Linglong sighed coldly and said, “Your Majesty, if you listen to me, you will believe me. Do you not want me to say a word?”

“You say–” Huiqi calmed down a lot, Linglong tidied up her clothes. She said, “I still need to invite my personal maidservant over. My maidservant’s name is Qin’er, and I have followed my concubine for many years. I have already instructed Qin’er to investigate the matter of diamond powder. This was all planned by Empress Han Xiuyi. As for who else is inside, I have no conclusive evidence.”

After Linglong finished speaking, She called Qin’er over, Qin’er knelt in front of Huiqi. She took out a bag of diamond powder and diamond powder from Linglong Palace that she had already found in Han Xiuyi’s Shanggong Bureau. “If the diamond powder was really placed in the emperor’s dish, it would be as Empress Han Xiuyi had said. The emperor would feel unbearable pain, but did you feel uncomfortable?” Linglong said.

Huiqi looked at Linglong tenderly. This glance was better than a thousand words. Linglong said, “This concubine has already investigated what is so powerful about this diamond powder. Fortunately, I have my own evidence. When this concubine received this package half a month ago, she gave some of the powder to Elder Sister Chen Chongyi.” Chen Chongyi was already kneeling in front of her. “This matter is not false. Indeed, Empress Concubine Yan gave this concubine a small bag. She said that the powder inside was diamonds. Let this concubine try what it is. This concubine fed it to the grey crane. The two grey cranes are already dead.”

After Chen Chongyi finished speaking, he pointed at Han Xiuyi and said, “Imperial Concubine Han Xiuyi, don’t speak nonsense. Everything was planned by you, Imperial Concubine. Now that the business is out, you can spit out blood. We have been on guard against these things for a long time.”

Linglong couldn’t help but look gratefully at Chen Chongyi beside her. Chen Chongyi looked at Linglong and said, “Fortunately, Empress Concubine Yan is already prepared. Otherwise, she might have already done that disgraceful thing. Now, what else does Empress Han Xiuyi have to say?”

Linglong looked at Han Xiuyi and said, “Empress Han Xiuyi may still have some difficulties. Does Empress want to see who ordered her to do this or who asked her to do it?” After Linglong prompted, she looked at Huiqi.

Huiqi looked at him with admiration. If Linglong had listened to Han Xiuyi’s words, Huiqi would have become the tragedy she had just described. It was hard to recall, At that time, Linglong thought of what Han Xiuyi would do in the end. Han Xiuyi wanted to wait until this day to stand up for herself. On the one hand, she used Huiqi’s hand to eradicate Linglong. On the other hand, there was no medicine to save Huiqi’s poisonous hair. The two people who had hurt her brother were both hands. She should be happy, but she didn’t expect Linglong to do this.

After Han Xiuyi finished speaking, she coldly looked at Linglong. Linglong sighed slightly and said, “Your Highness, is this protecting your life? Unfortunately, Your Highness, you’re wrong. You can’t be so blind if you want to protect yourself. Can you tell me who else is involved?”

“Most of the people in the palace are rich and honorable. I’m the only one who has the ability to plan. I didn’t plan these things with anyone else.” After Han Xiuyi finished speaking, she glanced at Linglong and said, “Actually, Princess Baoluo’s poison was also given to the Empress by her concubine. If it wasn’t for this poison, she wouldn’t have died so early. This was a long time ago.”

Linglong almost smiled bitterly. No wonder Han Xiuyi’s eyes were filled with warning when she saw Han Xiuyi several times. It turned out that Han Xiuyi had already begun to use her slender hands to concoct such a frightening poison so long ago. Linglong no longer had the slightest intention of defending her. Han Xiuyi was full of evil intentions and should not be treated with the benevolence of a woman.

“Han Xiuyi, aren’t you going to ambush me?” Xi He and the Crown Prince suddenly rushed over angrily. Han Xiuyi looked at the Crown Prince and couldn’t help but smile. “That’s not what the Crown Prince said back then. When the Crown Prince saw his concubine asking if there was any poison that was colorless and tasteless, no one could tell. At this time, he was furious. When we plotted together, the Crown Prince was completely different from today.” Han Xiuyi smiled faintly.

The emperor said, “Does the emperor really think that Concubine Yan and Crown Prince Xi are treating you like this? If the emperor had been paying attention, he would have discovered that Concubine Yan and Crown Prince Xi He have been wanting your life for a long time. However, this opportunity is unlucky. The emperor is already in danger.”

“How presumptuous! You are spouting blood! Your Majesty, Empress Han Xiuyi has gone crazy. Not only does she want to kill the Emperor, she is also one of the murderers who participated in the murder of Princess Yu Lai in the past. The Emperor cannot tolerate adultery and should properly interrogate and interrogate her.”

Huiqi’s eyes shone brightly as he asked, “You concocted the poison back then. Now that you want my life, it’s not too much for me to give you death.” After saying that, he leaned closer to Linglong and said, “Can you feed her diamond powder every day in the dungeon so that Han Xiuyi can’t live?”

“Your Majesty, I’m afraid this concubine can’t-” Linglong didn’t expect that Huiqi would actually let her personally kill him. She couldn’t help but feel a little disgusted and disgusted.

‘”Get up–” Huiqi pointed at Linglong. Linglong stood up and walked beside Huiqi. Huiqi reached out to hold the diamond on the table and put it into Linglong’s hand. “You can only do it or not. You can’t do it or not. Do you understand?” “Your Majesty, Han Xiuyi–” Linglong still couldn’t accept Huiqi letting her kill him. Her fingers couldn’t help but tremble a little, “Your Majesty, Han Xiuyi–”

‘”Han Xiuyi is the culprit who killed Yu Lai in the past. Without this crazy woman, Princess Yu Lai would not have died. You are Princess Yu Lai’s mother’s concubine. Do you still need me to personally take care of such a small matter?” Huiqi held Linglong’s hand tightly. Linglong felt that her palm had become scorching hot, as if she was holding a spark of fire.
