Chapter 570 He Qingrui exposes Wei Yao

There was a small porcelain bottle on the table, and standing next to it were some royal guards who were all wet and had obviously just been in the water.

After seeing the porcelain bottle, He Qingrui almost screamed out loud and subconsciously turned her head to look at Wei Yao.

"This……"

Seeing He Qingrui's reaction, Jiang Suining and Lu Yan naturally understood.

Wei Yao's face turned pale. She didn't expect that the porcelain bottle she had just thrown into the lake would be fished out again, and was even considered to be poison.

She immediately said, "What exactly is in this bottle needs to be carefully examined by the imperial physician. After all, it may not be..."

The commander of the Imperial Guards interrupted Wei Yao and said, "We have checked it. It is filled with poison. It is exactly the same poison that the Queen was poisoned with."

For a moment, Wei Yao froze in place, staring at the bottle in front of her in disbelief.

"No, how is this possible!"

The bottle should have contained the basil juice given to her by the fifth princess. How could it be poison?

Jiang Suining and Lu Yan obviously did not expect this result. They stood there with frowns on their faces for a while.

He Qingrui's reaction was the biggest. "Poison? It's really poison! Are you sure this is the poison that the Queen was poisoned with?"

"Qingrui!" Lu Yan turned her head and looked at He Qingrui, wanting to calm her down first.

However, He Qingrui no longer cared about Lu Yan and the others, and stared at the bottle intently.

The commander of the Imperial Guards nodded. "Although some water has seeped into the bottle, the poison inside has not been completely washed away. After inspection, it is indeed the poison that the Queen was poisoned with."

He Qingrui's face changed drastically, and she quickly looked at Wei Yao, "So you were lying!"

"I didn't!" Wei Yao denied immediately.

"What do you mean? What do you mean Lady Wei is lying?" The commander of the Imperial Guards cast a suspicious look at Wei Yao and He Qingrui.

Without waiting for He Qingrui to speak, Jiang Suining asked first: "Commander Liu, may I ask where and how did you find this bottle?"

"It was fished out of the lake. Not long ago, I received news that a young eunuch saw a porcelain bottle thrown into the lake. After receiving the news, I felt something was wrong, so I sent people to fish carefully in the lake. It was also good luck that we found the right place, and the porcelain bottle was fished out after a while."

"Did the little eunuch see who threw the porcelain bottle?" Jiang Suining continued to ask.

"That's not the case." The commander of the Imperial Guards shook his head. "He was standing there, and his view was partially blocked by the rockery. He only saw a porcelain bottle fall into the water, but he didn't notice who threw it."

"I know who it is!" He Qingrui spoke immediately.

"Qingrui!"

"Qingrui!"

Jiang Suining and Lu Yao looked at He Qingrui almost at the same time, with disapproval in their tone.

"Sui Ning, A Yan, I'm sorry, I can't care about these things. This matter is too big. If I conceal it, it will be a serious crime. And since there is poison in this porcelain bottle, it proves that Wei Yao is lying to us!"

After He Qingrui finished speaking, she pointed at Wei Yao without any hesitation.

"She was the one who threw the porcelain bottle. I saw it with my own eyes!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards quickly cast a sharp gaze on Wei Yao. His narrowed eyes were filled with scrutiny and a hint of excitement.

Originally he felt very sorry that the young eunuch did not see the person who threw the porcelain bottle, but he did not expect that it would be so easy to find out!

"Madam Wei, is what Madam He said true?"

Wei Yao turned pale and tried to defend herself anxiously, "I did throw the porcelain bottle, but it was filled with bashu juice, not poison at all, and..."

"I have carefully examined the contents of this bottle and it is indeed poison. Since you admit that you threw it away, then it was you who poisoned the Queen!"

"I really didn't poison the Queen, and if I had, how could I have so readily admitted that I was the one who threw the porcelain bottle. There must be a misunderstanding in this matter. I have no reason at all to poison the Queen, I..."

Wei Yao was extremely anxious, her mind was in a state of confusion for a moment, and before she could finish her words, Commander Liu interrupted her again.

"Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, we will know after the trial."

He looked at the Royal Guards standing nearby.

"Female official Wei Yao is a major suspect in the Queen's poisoning. Take her away immediately and interrogate her strictly!"

Jiang Suining quickly said, "Commander Liu, there is something strange about this matter. Wei Yao..."

"Lady Jiang, Prime Minister Shen once asked me to take good care of you in the palace, but this matter is of great importance and involves the poisoning of the Queen. Since there is already a suspect, I will never let him go. I hope Lady Jiang can put the overall situation first and not disrupt my investigation here!"

The tone was much colder than before, and now that there was evidence, Jiang Suining had no reason or position to stop them from interrogating and investigating.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the Imperial Guards took Wei Yao away, along with He Qingrui, who served as a witness.

Although Jiang Suining and Lu Yan also had the right to investigate, now that the matter involved a female official, the Imperial Guards directly rejected their request to interrogate together.

A stick of incense later, the news that Wei Yao might be the murderer who poisoned the Queen spread like wildfire and spread quickly throughout the entire palace.

In the yard where she was on duty, Lu Yan felt uneasy. Looking at Jiang Suining who was sitting silently beside her, she spoke.

"Sui Ning, do you think it really could be A Yao?"

Although she felt that A Yao did not seem to be lying before, she did find poison in the porcelain bottle.

Could it be that Sui Ning had really guessed wrong from the beginning, and the person who poisoned was A Yao, and the matter about the fifth princess and the bashu juice was all made up by A Yao based on Sui Ning's words?

Jiang Suining shook his head, "I don't think so."

This matter is really strange, and the news spread so quickly, it always feels like someone is pushing it behind the scenes.

"How do you explain the poison in the bottle?"

"I don't know about this either, but if A Yao is really convicted as the murderer, then she..." Jiang Suining took a breath and slowly uttered four words, "She will definitely die."

Once the crime of poisoning the Queen is established, there is no possibility of survival.

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but take a breath and said worriedly.

"Not only that, if A Yao is really the murderer, then I'm afraid we can't escape punishment. Qing Rui was so eager to come forward and identify him just now, probably because she thought of this. After all, as a witness who exposed the murder, she can still make up for her crime with meritorious service."

Before Lu Yan finished her words, He Qingrui appeared at the door.
