Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Truth
"Princess, the slave maid has brought the person who is serving Madame Li. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The maid went out not long ago, and brought back a childish little girl, which really surprised me.
The little girl is quite clever, and when she enters the door, she kneels down to me first, "Slave Caique, I've seen the princess." ”
"Get up!" I stepped forward and grabbed her hand and pulled her up. Her hands were cold, white and wrinkled as if they had been blistered, and she thought she was a bitter child.
"Is she the only one who is waiting for Li Xiuniang?" I asked, turning my head to look at the maidservant who had been sent to find someone.
Before the maid could speak, Caique said first: "Mrs. Li will serve the slave and maid alone, and the princess can just ask the slave and maid if she has something." ”
This girl is not big, but she is not timid at all, but she impresses me.
"You go and guard the gate of the garden with the other handmaids outside, and don't let anyone in. "I took away the maidservant girl sent by Zhang Anxin.
Seeing that they all went to the Yuanmen, he began to ask Caique, "When Mrs. Li died, were you by her side?"
"Back to the princess, when the lady died, the slave and maid were by her side. She saw her dog die overnight, and died suddenly of an emergency. Caique spoke very clearly, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
When it comes to such a thing, even an adult like me will feel scared, and she is surprisingly calm and calm at a young age, which makes me very curious, "Don't you be afraid when you see her dead?"
"What's there to be afraid of, the slave died at the age of seven, and the father died at the age of twelve, and the dead are used to seeing them. She actually had a nonchalant expression.
Oh my God, this little girl's life is hard enough. I couldn't help but ask her again, "Then how old are you this year, why did you become a slave maid in the Beiwang Mansion?"
"The slave maid is thirteen this year, and she was sold to the palace by her stepmother. Even when it comes to such a hateful plot, she still behaves lightly, as if it was not her who was sold, but a cabbage.
Feeling that I was too far off topic, I collected my thoughts and hurriedly asked back about Li Xiuniang, "Before Mrs. Li died, was there anything uncomfortable?
"Uncomfortable?" she frowned, her dark eyes rolling as if she was thinking about something.
Looking at her like a little adult, I think it's funny and poignant. Such a young child is used to seeing life and death, and he doesn't care about being a slave, it's really pitiful!
"It's true, the afternoon before my wife's death, that is, after returning from the chrysanthemum tea party, I felt uncomfortable. At that time, the dog barked very fiercely, so she asked me to go out to walk the dog, and later offended Mrs. Xiang. The little girl finally remembered. For offending Dye Xiang, it is estimated that she will never forget it in her life.
In this case, it is good to say that the doctor is right, after being poisoned, there will be symptoms of palpitations, and when you die, there will be a blood pox between your eyebrows. For the sake of blood pox, for the sake of insurance, you need to confirm with the doctor tomorrow.
Caique said that she only started to feel unwell after returning from the chrysanthemum tea party, so she should have been poisoned at the tea party. Fruits, snacks should be no problem because everyone eats them. The only possibility is that there is a problem with the tea, but the tea and teapot are shared, how can we ensure that Li Xiuniang can drink poisoned tea? There is only one thing that is used for each other, and that is the teacup.
The teacup used by Li Xiuniang should have been used by me, and I shuddered when I thought of it. I was late that day, and I was left with the worst seat. After Dongfang Xun came, he pulled me to sit beside him. After several tosses, Li Xiuniang finally sat in the position where I should have been sitting and drank the poisonous tea that should have been given to me.
Dye incense, dye incense! You have such a vicious heart! No wonder I can't figure out why you want to harm Li Xiuniang no matter how I think about it, it turns out that you didn't want to hurt her in the first place, you really want to hurt me, Li Xiuniang is just a substitute for the dead.
After clarifying the reason, I sat weakly on the low stool, and my teeth itched with hatred. Needless to say, Yang Santai's matter must also be a ghost for her.
Clenched my fists and slammed my fists on the table, why am I so stupid! Why didn't I find out about this earlier, and it also affected the medical woman.
But what did I do, so that she hated me so much that she had to kill me again and again?
"Princess, princess?" Seeing that I had been silent for a long time, Caique called me twice.
"Oh, I'm distracted!" I smiled at her.
"Do you have anything else to ask? If it is gone, the slave and maid will have to go back to wash the clothes, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish the washing and sleep later. Her single eyelid flickered, and the eyeball was black and white.
No wonder her hands were white and wrinkled, they turned out to be soaked in laundry. My heart moved, and I couldn't help feeling pity for her, "Why didn't you be sent to serve the other ladies, but instead became a rough maid who washed clothes?"
"The lady who served the slave and maid is dead, and the other ladies are disgusted with the slave and maid, where is there anyone willing to ask for a slave!" she smiled, her eyes narrowing into a line.
"Oh! I don't have anything more to ask, go back!" I replied.
"The slave and maid have retired first, and if the princess has anything else to ask, just call the slave and maid to ask. She saluted me again. I nodded, and then the sparrow withdrew.
Watching the thin figure get farther and farther away, I sighed and thought that I should help her.

Dye Xiang was choked in Magnolia Garden, and there was not a word on the road. It wasn't until he returned to the Lingering Fragrance Garden that Yunxiao closed the door and turned around, and what greeted him was a slap of dyed incense, "pop" crisp and loud.
Yunxiao covered her cheeks and knelt on the ground, tears flowed, "Miss!"
"Do you know why I hit you?" Someka didn't soften her heart just because she cried, her eyes were like sharp knives.
"It was the slave who showed her cowardice in front of Princess Xuan, and the slave and maid should be beaten. Yunxiao replied with a whimper.
"It's a shame that you've been with me for so many years, so you're scared of everything. What she said tonight has no real evidence at all, it is just a test of you and me, and you are actually trembling with fear. Isn't this just admitting in front of her, are we doing all these things!" Dyka said the stakes.
"Miss, the doctor girl has been sentenced to beheading, how can the slave and maid not be afraid?!Isn't Miss not afraid at all?" Yunxiao tilted his head and asked rhetorically.
Besides, since ancient times, the bold have been supported to death, and the timid have been starved, if I had been afraid, I would not have brought you to the Beiwang Mansion at all. Now, even if my hands are covered in blood, I won't go back to Mingyanlou. Ranka's good-looking face was suddenly covered with hideousness and viciousness.
Yunxiao raised his face and glanced at her, and for a moment he seemed to see Dye Xiang's whole person wrapped in red blood, and even the white and flawless dress became red. In the days when Dye Xiang stayed in the Mingyan Building, the loneliness and melancholy that occasionally revealed have been replaced by the current viciousness. Yunxiao realized that the incense in front of him was already too deep in the river.
"But miss, she has begun to suspect us, what should we do if she goes to investigate those things again?" Yunxiao's eyes were full of panic and fear.
"Do you remember Red Sleeves? When she died, Rao was the most famous detective of the dynasty and didn't see anything unusual, what else do we have to be afraid of now? Sun Xuan is just alarmist and scaring us. There was no loophole in that poison at all, otherwise how could she not tell what the loophole was?" said Dye Xiang with some disdain.
The matter of Red Sleeves is just an old matter, and it is also because of this incident that she and Dongfang Xun were finally involved.
"The slave doesn't think so, this poison is so secretive, how did she know about it? Since she knew, maybe there was a loophole in the medicine. "Yunxiao is suspicious because of fear, which is quite a bit of a soldier
After hearing this, Dye Xiang smiled contemptuously, "What if there is, there is no physical evidence that can not be found on us at all, it can only be said that she is slandering us." ”
As soon as the words came out, Dye Xiang's heart chuckled for a moment. Seeing Yunxiao again, he still said with a scared face, "But the slave is still scared in her heart." and Yang Santai..."
Dye Xiang's eyes darkened, this Nizi was afraid that she would not be able to stay, and if she left it again, it would be in her hands sooner or later, and she was extremely disappointed in Yunxiao's performance.
"Okay, you're too tired today, I don't need your service here, let's go down and rest first!" Dye Xiang suddenly interrupted Yunxiao's words and said unusually gently.
Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and responded, "Yes!"
Before the person left, Dye Xiang glanced at the food box and said to her, "Give this snack to the maid's girl!"
"Miss..."Yunxiao knew what was in the food box, and she wanted to persuade Dye Xiang.
"Go!" Ran Xiang only glanced at her, her tone calm.
Yunxiao felt like he had been stabbed in the heart by an ice pick, his whole body convulsed, and then obediently carried the food box and left. The power of dyeing incense is never longer on her face, but in her heart.
