Chapter 1090 So You Did It
Luo Qinghan and Zhao Xianqi glanced at Yan Cairen.
Yan Cairen suddenly came back to his senses, and realized that he had slipped his tongue just now.
She hurriedly calmed herself down, and argued with red eyes.
"The concubine was too shocked to lose her composure. I hope His Majesty will forgive me."
Luo Qinghan didn't know whether he believed it or not, and he didn't express his attitude towards her words.
He looked at Zhao Xian again, motioning for Zhao Xian to continue.
Zhao Xian: "The imperial doctor said that Miss Baofu was poisoned because she took a large amount of arsenic, and she almost died of it. I will ask her why she was poisoned? Although Miss Baofu is temporarily speechless, she is awake. She pointed to a bracelet on her wrist."
Having said that, he took out a colorful tourmaline bracelet from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
"The last general has already asked other people. This bracelet was given to Miss Baofu by Yan Cairen. Miss Baofu likes it very much. She always wears it on her hand on weekdays."
When Yan Cairen saw the bracelet, his legs felt weak and he couldn't stand anymore, he wobbled and fell to the ground.
Luo Qinghan looked at her: "What's wrong with you?"
Yan Cairen tremblingly said: "I suddenly feel unwell and can't stand still. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Eunuch Chang stepped forward to help her up.
Luo Qinghan took the tourmaline bracelet from Zhao Xian, and turned to look at Yan Cairen.
"How do you explain that?"
Yan Cairen shook his head with tears in his eyes: "This concubine doesn't know anything, please trust me, I will never harm anyone!"
Luo Qinghan: "Since you said so, then I will believe what you said for the time being."
Yan Cairen felt relieved, great luck welled up in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Before she was happy for a long time, she heard the emperor continue.
"Anyway, Baofu has already woken up. After the imperial doctor heals her throat, I will interrogate her personally. If it is found out that her poisoning has something to do with you, I will definitely punish you severely."
Yan Cairen's smile froze on his face.
Luo Qinghan: "When the time comes, I will not only let you die, but I will also punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor and destroy your Yan family."
Yan Cairen was shocked, his knees softened, and he just knelt down straight.
His knee hit the ground hard.
Just by hearing that sound, you can know how painful it is.
But Yan Cairen didn't care about the pain, and cried and begged: "Your Majesty, please show your noble hand and let the concubine's family go!"
Luo Qinghan looked at her coldly.
"I will give you one last chance, did you poison Baofu?"
Yan Cairen instinctively wanted to deny it.
But when she touched the cold eyes of the emperor, her words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't move up or down, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Eunuch Chang reminded in a low voice: "Cairen, there is only one chance, you have to think it over before answering."
Yan Cairen's lips trembled slightly.
Her fingers involuntarily grabbed the hem of the skirt, and the fine fabric was wrinkled by her.
The expression on her face kept changing, the blood on her lips faded little by little, and finally became extremely pale.
Luo Qinghan became a little impatient: "Since you insist that you are innocent, then forget it."
He gave Zhao Xian instructions.
"Take Baofu away and protect him strictly.
All the people around Yan Cairen were evacuated, and the Misty Rain Palace will be closed from today onwards.
Before the truth is found out, no one is allowed to step into Misty Rain Palace! "
Yan Cairen originally planned to use this period of time to find a way to get rid of Baofu. If Baofu couldn't be solved, then someone would send a letter to Yan's family, telling them to leave Shengjing as soon as possible and find a place where no one knows. hide.
However, the emperor's words completely shattered Yan Cairen's last hope.
All her escape routes were blocked by the emperor.
Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Yan Cairen seemed to have seen the scene of his parents and brothers and sisters being dragged out and beheaded one by one.
She couldn't bear it any longer, crawled over on hands and feet, and kowtowed to the emperor to beg for mercy.
"I beg Your Majesty to be merciful! It was my concubine's infatuation that poisoned Baofu. It's all my fault. These things have nothing to do with anyone else. I beg Your Majesty not to implicate the Yan family!"
Luo Qinghan stopped in her tracks, looked down at her, her tone was cold.
"Why did you poison Baofu?"
Yan Cairen knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
She choked up and said: "Because my concubine instructed her to contact Ronggui, through her she instructed Ronggui to help the assassin take the noble concubine out of the palace, now that the incident has happened, I am afraid that Baofu will confess my concubine, so... just ..."
She couldn't go on with the words that followed, she was so out of breath from crying that she couldn't make a sound.
Luo Qinghan: "So you did it."
Yan Cairen knew that he was doomed, so he could only keep begging.
"These things are all planned by the concubine alone, and have nothing to do with the concubine's family. They don't know about it. I beg your Majesty to show you your hands and don't anger them."
Luo Qinghan asked a very crucial question.
"Why do you know there are assassins in the palace?"
Yan Cairen's crying paused, and his tone was somewhat hesitant: "Yes, someone told this concubine."
Luo Qinghan: "Who is it?"
Yan Cairen didn't want to say it, but the matter had come to this point, and if she mentioned what the man concealed, it would only make her crime more serious.
Now all she can do is to protect herself as much as possible.
As for what will happen to others, it is no longer within the scope of her ability.
Yan Cairen asked stammeringly.
"If the concubine confesses truthfully, can His Majesty spare the concubine's life?"
Luo Qinghan: "Are you asking me for a condition?"
Obviously his tone didn't fluctuate, but Yan Cairen felt an unspeakable fear for no reason.
She hurriedly shook her head in denial.
"No! I don't dare! I just want to ask His Majesty to spare my life for the sake of my confession."
Luo Qinghan said indifferently: "As long as you are telling the truth, I can consider saving your life."
Yan Cairen was overjoyed and said without hesitation.
"It was Princess Hua'an who sent someone to deliver the news to this concubine, and it was she who hinted that this concubine could use this opportunity to get rid of the imperial concubine!"
At the beginning, she vaguely noticed something strange in Yunxiu Palace. Before she could find out what happened in Yunxiu Palace, the noble concubine noticed. I'm going to die, I don't have the mind to think about anything else.
Until Princess Hua'an quietly sent someone to send a message, telling her that there was an assassin hidden in the palace, and the assassin's target was the imperial concubine.
Yan Cairen connected the events before and after, and thought that the imperial concubine was assassinated, so Yunxiu Palace sent more people to martial law.
Later, Princess Hua'an sent someone to contact her again, telling her that the assassin would leave the palace with the concubine, and she needed help from someone.
Yan Cairen felt that this was a great opportunity to get rid of the imperial concubine, so he agreed without much hesitation.
