Chapter 497 Just a little trick
Ye Jintang gave Xiao Mo a glass of spring water without thinking, and when he saw that he didn't react, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that we know what the poison is in the mung bean soup, it will be easy to deal with. Xiao Mo's vomit is still there, so she immediately asked someone to check to see if they can find the sub-parasite.
Sure enough, after a while, Jiang Heng brought a piece of uncooked mung bean in a white porcelain plate. There was a small hole on the mung bean, and a tiny black insect was crawling around in it.
"It seems that this is the sub-Gu."
Ye Jintang showed the Zi Gu to Master Mu again.
"That should be right. Zi Zhong can rest assured now that he has found Jin Tang."
Master Mu saw how Ye Jintang was worried about Xiao Mo just now.
"Yes, as long as I can find the problem, I won't worry. I'm just afraid that if I can't find it, I'll always be worried about it."
The matter became clear, and Ye Jintang personally ordered that all those involved in the matter be executed immediately, without leaving a single one alive.
As for Xia Ying, she is somewhat difficult to deal with. If we really think about it, Xia Ying is most likely Ye Jintang's cousin.
If he killed her now, to be honest, because of Aunt Xia, Ye Jintang would feel a little sorry for the grandmother he had never met.
If she wasn't killed, she almost had Xiao Mo poisoned. Any one of these charges would be enough to get her entire clan executed.
Lian Ye was dragged away, and the frightened Xia Ying knelt on the ground trembling. Ye Jintang complained in his heart how could she have such a stupid cousin.
Soon, only Xiao Mo, Ye Jintang and Xia Ying were left in the imperial study.
Ye Jintang didn't ask Xia Ying to stand up, but asked her to kneel down and talk.
"Xia Ying, do you know why the emperor stayed in the palace?"
"Folk girls don't know."
"No, you know, you think the emperor keeps you in the palace for the sake of the Danyang Marquis's Mansion, or you think you look a bit like me, and you want to take advantage of my absence to capture the emperor's heart."
"I, I dare not think so."
Xia Ying was going crazy. She didn't expect Ye Jintang to be so insightful that he could actually guess what she was thinking.
It's so scary, how could she possibly defeat a woman like this.
"You are very daring. Not only do you dare to think about it, you also dare to do it. To do something like poisoning the emperor, even if it means exterminating your entire clan, it is not too much."
"Please spare my life, Queen. I was also forced to do this. If I don't listen to Ye Dong, he will definitely kill me."
After Xia Ying finished speaking, Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo exchanged glances. They were both very surprised. Wasn't this done by Xiao Zhengde? Could Ye Dong, that playboy, have the ability to do this?
Or was this a joint effort by Ye Dong and Xiao Zhengde?
"What does Ye Dong have to do with you?"
Ye Jintang was also a little confused. Things seemed quite complicated. Xiao Zhengde was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so he wanted to drag the Danyang Marquis' Mansion into the water.
Thinking of this, Ye Jintang couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Xiao Zhengde thought that she would take family affection into consideration and show mercy to the men of Danyang Marquis Mansion. In this way, he would have a handle to save his life.
He was calculating with the abacus so well that the beads were about to jump onto her face.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated. She had no good feelings towards the Danyang Marquis Mansion. This time when she came back, she might even uproot it. It was simply a pipe dream for him to use this as a life-saving talisman.
Xia Ying hesitated and was too embarrassed to reveal her relationship with Ye Dong. If this matter were to be exposed, her life would be ruined.
"explain."
"Your Majesty, calm down. I'll tell you. I'll tell you."
Xia Ying didn't dare to test Ye Jintang's bottom line again. She told him everything, like pouring out beans, about how she won Ye Dong's favor, how she entered the Danyang Marquis' Mansion, and how she lost her virginity.
Ye Jintang, who had been silent on the side, didn't know what to say when he heard that Xia Ying was not a virgin and dared to flirt with Xiao Mo.
She gave him a stab in the eye. Xiao Mo was devoted to her and saved him, otherwise he might have been cuckolded now.
Ye Jintang sorted out the matter again and roughly realized that Ye Dong might have been deceived by Xiao Zhengde, while Old Madam Ye and the old marquis were fooled by Ye Dong.
It is very interesting to see villains getting together and fighting each other. She can't wait to let Old Madam Ye and the old marquis know about it.
"I see. Xia Ying, do you know why we look somewhat similar?"
"No, I don't know."
"My grandmother is Aunt Xia of the Marquis of Danyang Mansion. You and your father also have the surname Xia. If I'm not mistaken, you and I should have some blood relationship."
"According to the investigation of my people, when my grandmother died, your father Xia Changgui was only two years older than my father. Judging from his age, he doesn't look like my grandmother's brother. He looks more like Eunuch Xia's child."
After hearing this, Xiao Mo on the side was a little surprised.
"How did you find out about this?"
Xiao Mo was very confused. This incident happened a long time ago. Even if someone knew some inside information back then, they would have died long ago.
"As soon as I returned to the palace, I looked for people who were familiar with Eunuch Xia. Among them was Eunuch Yang, who had left the palace to retire. He said that Eunuch Xia was different from them. He had a wife and children outside the palace."
"For this reason, I specially sent someone to check where Eunuch Xia lived before he entered the palace. There really is someone who remembers this. Eunuch Xia only has a younger sister and no younger brother at all."
"So Xia Changgui should be Eunuch Xia's son. Eunuch Xia lied about him being his younger brother in order to save his son's life."
"After all, for a eunuch, sons are much more important than brothers."
"It's just that for the time being, I still don't know what the purpose of Eunuch Xia doing this is."
Xiao Mo was shocked to hear Ye Jintang say this. Ye Jintang had only been back to the palace for a few days, but her subordinates had found out so much. It seemed that she was even more powerful than he had imagined.
"Your Majesty, I know something that may help solve the mystery."
"Oh? Tell me?"
Ye Jintang, who was very interested, never expected that he could find a breakthrough in Xia Ying.
"Please, Madam, spare my life."
"Xia Ying, are you threatening me?"
Ye Jintang narrowed his beautiful eyes and sneered in his heart, thinking that Xia Ying really regarded herself as a dish.
She had no affection for Aunt Xia's family. They were even like strangers to her. She was investigating the cause of Aunt Xia's death just because she didn't want her grandmother to die in vain.
If Xia Ying wanted to use this to blackmail her, she was making a wrong calculation.
"I dare not. I beg your majesty to have mercy on me. I was forced to do all this."
"That's wrong. If you had waited for me to summon you instead of coming to see the emperor, your ending would not be like this."
Ye Jintang's words made Xia Ying feel cold down her spine. She felt that when she faced her, all her inner thoughts were exposed and she could see through them all. This feeling was really terrifying.
