Why Cao Qinmo, not Hua Fei?
From God's point of view, it is easy for us to think that this is poisoned by Hua Fei, but why does the bald head say that it is not her? There are three reasons:
① First of all, we should know that the real planner of the fake pregnancy competition is Cao Qinmo. As we said earlier, Cao Qinmo is a person who knows how to take advantage of the situation. Even if she gives eyebrow zhuang the illusion of pregnancy, she invites a woman like Qi Fei and Xin Chang to help her. Therefore,
In the whole fake pregnancy competition, except for Liu Fan, other aspects can be said to be almost perfect. And as a result of this incident, Shen Meizhuang can hardly turn over. Cao Qinmo won't be stupid enough to poison her again. Being a thief is guilty, and doing so will only expose the fox's tail, so even if Huafei wants to do so, Cao Qinmo will stop her.
(2) So is it possible that Hua Fei hates Shen Meizhuang and wants to assassinate Shen Meizhuang behind Cao Qinmo's back? Let's take a look at Hua Fei's attitude towards this matter: if the emperor doesn't kill Shen Meizhuang, it will be her ancestors' virtue. If you dare to make fun of the dragon, she will die of old age!
Hua Fei's sentence has two meanings: First, it shows that this matter is really serious, so serious that it can be decapitated. Even if the emperor doesn't kill Shen Meizhuang, she can only wait to die of old age without any chance to turn over; Second, it shows that Hua Fei is very sure about this matter, and she is confident that Shen Meizhuang will never be favored again.
In addition, when Hua Fei was in charge of the Sixth Palace during the epidemic in the palace, when she wanted to take advantage of the epidemic to harm Shen Meizhuang, she once said: It was really cheap for her not to cure Shen Meizhuang's capital crime!
Pay attention to this sentence, "Cure Shen Meizhuang's capital crime". Who can cure her capital crime? The emperor, of course. Therefore, what Hua Fei is expressing here is: it is already cheaper for her not to let the emperor punish Shen Meizhuang for capital punishment through the fake pregnancy competition! This is in line with the previous statement that "if the emperor didn't kill Shen Meizhuang, it would have been her ancestors' virtue". And if Hua Fei poisoned herself, her line would be "I couldn't poison Shen Meizhuang at the beginning".
(3) The irrationality of motivation was mentioned above, so let's look at the testimony results. After Hua Fei's downfall, Zhou Ninghai's testimony in court included what Cao Guiren said about cassava flour, the death of Chun Guiren, accepting bribes to sponsor officials, instructing Yu's family to poison Wan Gui's medicine, pushing Hui Guiren into the water, framing Hui Guiren for false pregnancy, and giving Hui Guiren the things used by imperial secretary who suffered from epidemic diseases, so that Hui Guiren was infected with epidemic diseases together.
Have you noticed that Zhou Ninghai, who has such a good memory, even took the responsibility of Yu Yinger's own responsibility for poisoning Wan's medicine in the early days, and also poisoned Shen Meizhuang? Why didn't he admit it?
If it is said that the incident of "poisoning the food" is an "attempted murder", it is not a big deal. Zhou Ninghai is trying to avoid guilt and get less punishment. There are many attempted things. It is not a big deal that Zhen Xuan was poisoned and Shen Meizhuang fell into the water. Although eyebrow zhuang was cured of the epidemic in the end, Zhou Ninghai can completely avoid admitting it.
So, to sum up three points, Hua Fei did not do it.
why not the queen?
① First of all, there is still no motive.
some people say that you think the queen is an old hand in poisoning. She poisoned Chun-won before and May 4 later.
It seems so, but we still have to look at the problem from a developmental perspective. The Queen uses this tactic when her heart is particularly anxious and the situation is severe. Now the situation in the harem is that the imperial concubine is full of energy and needs someone to share it equally. At this time, the Queen will not do it herself, and even if she does, it will be behind the scenes.
(2) Secondly, what the Empress doesn't like is the arrogant and bossy type, such as Fang Guiren and Fu Chagui. The Empress often thinks that this person's status will threaten her, fearing that these people will become the second Chinese princess out of control in the future.
However, Shenmeizhuang has always been a safe and proper model. Even if the emperor gave him the right to assist the Sixth Palace, eyebrow zhuang was not exclusive and arrogant, and the queen recognized this person.
Therefore, the Queen and eyebrow zhuang have never had any problems. Bald said earlier that when eyebrow zhuang fell into the water, the Queen also got a favor from the Shenyang family. At this time, eyebrow zhuang fell out of favor. It is really superfluous for her to make up a knife at this time. This is not something that the Queen can do.
why Jing Jin?
Poisoning eyebrow zhuang's food, Jing Jin certainly didn't really hurt eyebrow zhuang, so why did she do it?
(1) From the incident of Shen Meizhuang falling into the water, Jing Jin discovered that this was the means of Hua Fei. However, at that time, because she was afraid of Huafei's power, she forbeared, so after the fake pregnancy and rivalry, Jing Jin naturally guessed that this was a dirty trick of Huafei's team.
As we mentioned earlier, Jing Jin predicted that Zhen Xuan's team had the strength to dominate the harem and had taken the initiative to show kindness to Zhen Xuan. But Zhen Xuan doesn't seem to care about this matter, and he still plays well with May. And although eyebrow zhuang is in Xianfu Palace with her, she has only had a heart-to-heart talk with Zhen Xuan, and she has never had a chance to join this clique. Then this fake pregnancy rivalry event is another good opportunity to close her team relationship with Zhen Xuan, so Jing Jin played along and made a simple game to design a food poisoning incident.
(2) In this harem, not only Zhen Xuan and eyebrow zhuang regard Hua Fei as their sworn enemy, but Jing Jin was a princess in Hua Fei's room and suffered too much torture and humiliation, so she tried to kill Hua Fei from the bottom of her heart, but she was alone and lacked strength.
As I said before, in the harem, the struggle to reach a higher rank is not done by yourself, but by taking advantage of the situation. The queen and Cao Qinmo, the princess of Duan, have counted bricks for so many years, and they still have the ability to observe and learn. She especially understands that only by uniting with the enemies of the enemy as much as possible and with the help of more people can she have a chance to win a difficult war. In addition to narrowing the distance with Zhen Xuan and eyebrow zhuang, it is necessary to further intensify their hostility with Hua Fei.
Let's take a closer look at the whole process that Shen Meizhuang discovered that the food was poisonous: First of all, from eating in eyebrow zhuang to testing poison, it was guided by respect; Secondly, when eyebrow zhuang found that the food was poisonous, he judged that the emperor was afraid that she would defile the royal reputation and poison her, but Jing Jin was guiding her to think about Hua Fei, and at the same time saying "You are from my palace" and "I can't escape the relationship" to close the strategic alliance with eyebrow zhuang. Throughout the whole process, Jing Jin has been cleverly guiding the goal to Hua Fei's head.
(3) After Jing Jin secretly told the emperor about it, the emperor said: Thank you for telling me about the poisoning of Shen Shi food. Jing Jin said a word: the emperor said it, but after listening to it, he forgot it. Why bother thanking the male and female servants?
why doesn't Jing Jin want the emperor to publicize this matter? First, because there is no real evidence to prove Shen Meizhuang's innocence in the fake pregnancy competition, the matter of food poisoning will basically be unfinished if it is investigated; Second, because it was her fault, she didn't want to put herself in danger because of it.
However, if this matter is not investigated, there are two advantages: first, take this opportunity to show that you are unwilling to participate in the struggle and hope to make peace, which is especially in line with the emperor's psychology and can win the favor in front of the emperor; Second, with the help of the emperor's suspicious personality, through the behavior that someone wants to poison eyebrow zhuang, it means that someone wants to kill Shen Meizhuang to kill him, and it is proved from the side that Shen Meizhuang is probably framed.
That's why, with a casual hand from the late imperial concubine, Zhen Xuan can toss and turn, with a headache. So, on the surface of the harem, the struggle is just a kind of geisha at the end of carving insects. The real masters are all sweeping monk, who keeps a low profile. If he moves his orchid finger, he can make full use of his strength to turn around Gan Kun.
