Chapter 292: Dead End
"Your Highness—"
Xiao Yi looked indifferently at the girl kneeling in front of her, Guan Tong forcibly suppressed the fear and nervousness in her heart, and under her wide sleeves was a pair of clenched and trembling hands, facing Xiao Yi's cold gaze, she did not avoid it at all, but the tears in her eyes were surging more and more, and she was a little more aggrieved.
"The concubine doesn't understand what His Highness means, if the concubine is really wrong-"
Speaking of this, Guan Tong smiled self-deprecatingly, tears fell like beads, kneeling there although he was straight, but his figure seemed a little depressed, as if he was extremely sad, the girl lowered her head slightly, her shoulders shrugged, and when she looked up again, she was full of despair.
"If the concubine is really wrong, it is wrong that she shouldn't have met His Highness that day, shouldn't have fallen in love with His Highness, and shouldn't have wanted to be by His Highness's side when he knew that His Highness only had the eldest grandson concubine in his heart, even if he got the slightest attention from His Highness——"
The light of the glass treasure lamp fell gently, and Guan Tong looked even more thin and helpless at this moment, sobbing with slightly lowered eyes, and the hair on the sideburns was slightly scattered, full of love.
Once again, the hall fell into an eerie silence, and only the faint sobs of the girl could be heard.
couldn't get Xiao Yi's response, and Guan Tong felt a little more nervous and scared in his heart.
She didn't know what Xiao Yi meant by this, and she didn't dare to guess anymore, because she was afraid, afraid that what she guessed was what Xiao Yi knew.
But things in the world always seem to be out of people's grasp, and they will always backfire so dramatically.
The next moment, Xiao Yi's cold chuckle sounded in the hall, which made Guan Tong freeze.
"Did it yourself, and forgot it so quickly?"
When the words fell, Xiao Yi in front of him squatted down calmly and indifferently, and when he felt Xiao Yi's level gaze, Guan Tong could only pretend to be calm for the last time.
"What is in the incense in your temple, don't you remember?"
Guan Tong's face changed slightly, and the next moment he cried excitedly and aggrievedly: "The incense in the concubine's palace is just ordinary incense, please let Your Highness know it." ”
As soon as the words were finished, the girl in front of her bowed straight down, and everything seemed so righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Well, I'll fulfill you. ”
Xiao Yi stood up indifferently, and then turned his head slightly and said, "Please come in with the judgment of the Wu court." ”
Hearing this, Guan Tong still kowtowed to the ground, but there was a trace of panic in his eyes.
She didn't know if Xiao Yi understood everything, if so, her current death was just a joke. But she didn't dare to compromise easily, because she couldn't guarantee whether it was just a ploy to force her to comply.
In any case, she can't let go of this mouth, otherwise, everything is over.
While thinking about it, a hurried footstep gradually approached, and the next moment, Wu Yuanju walked in respectfully, as if he hadn't seen the strangeness in the hall, and bowed straight to Xiao Yixing.
"Your Highness. ”
Xiao Yi nodded, and then said loudly: "Take a look at the incense in this hall, there is something abnormal." ”
Hearing this, the Wu Yuan judge immediately took the order, and then turned cautiously towards the incense burner platform.
I saw that he gently lifted the lid of the incense burner, took a small silver spoon and picked out some incense cakes that had not been burned, and after a careful inspection, he checked the burned incense ashes again.
In the entire hall, only the sound of the small silver spoon hitting the incense burner could be heard at this moment, and each sound was like a bell striking on Guan Tong's heart, which made her feel her scalp tingle, and her body was almost cold.
But even so, she had to endure to the end.
When he heard the voice of Wu Yuanju coming over, Guan Tong's heart almost rose to his throat little by little, and he would jump out or fall down at any time.
"How. ”
Hearing Xiao Yi's question, Wu Yuanju bowed his head respectfully and said: "Back to His Highness, during the inspection, the minister found that the incense in the palace was not abnormal, and the incense cake was no different. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Tong's body was almost imperceptibly loosened, but he suddenly found that the sweat on his forehead had soaked his hair.
Almost quickly sorted out Fang Cai's uneasy mood, Guan Tong's eyes were suddenly full of weakness and grievances, and his tone was even more sad.
"I beg Your Highness to believe in the concubine, the concubine is innocent—"
When the words fell, Xiao Yi did not speak, but the corners of his lips were coldly hooked, and when Wu Yuan judged these in his eyes, he turned to glance at the warm wine on the case and said calmly: "Your Highness, that incense is indeed the same, but if the fragrance of flowers mixed in that fragrant cake is mixed with this wine that happens to be warm, the hot wine will give birth to another effect with that floral fragrance." ”
Almost instantly, as if a thunderbolt came down on a sunny day, Guan Tong's face was extremely pale, his hands suddenly froze, and even his lips became numb, but he couldn't speak anymore when he moved slightly.
"What's the use. ”
Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly, and looked at the girl with an almost terrifying indifference in his eyes.
Wu Yuanju raised his head slightly, and saw the stiff body of Concubine Guan in the afterglow, and then lowered his head as if he hadn't seen it: "Back to Your Highness, there is an aphrodisiac effect of the bed curtain." ”
"Your Highness, no, the concubines don't, the concubines really don't-"
The girl at her feet suddenly cried excitedly and aggrievedly and stepped forward to grab Xiao Yi's tail, and Wu Yuanju didn't say anything more, and lowered her head silently.
Xiao Yi's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and then he picked up the extremely hot wine jug that was already warm on the case, leaned over slightly, handed the wine jug to Guan Tong, and said unhurriedly: "Since there is none, then drink this pot of wine to prove your innocence." ”
"Your Highness—"
Guan Tong saw Xiao Yi's cold eyes, her hands clenched tightly, and her eyes stared closely at the pot of wine in Xiao Yi's hand, when she trembled and reached out, between hesitation and wandering, her fingertips accidentally touched the warm touch on the wine jug, and immediately reflexively withdrew her hand.
In Xiao Yi's increasingly terrifying gaze, Guan Tong trembled and pulled his nails into his palms, and forcibly explained: "Concubine, concubine is not strong enough to drink, ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”
A sneer sounded, and Xiao Yi's indifferent voice could be heard in the next moment.
"It's not too strong to drink, or it's a thief. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yi coldly put the wine jug on the table, straightened up and said, "Bring people in." ”
Almost at the same time, a person was escorted in, and when Guan Tong saw the trembling and frightened Yuhe, his pupils almost shrank, and he immediately hoped that the person in front of him would disappear like this.
"Say it. ”
As soon as Xiao Yi's voice fell, Yu's body shook suddenly, and he didn't dare to take care of Tong, so he cried in fear: "It's the girl, it's the spice that the girl asked the slave to buy outside, the slave and the maid are wrong, and the slave and the maid don't dare anymore." ”
After the girl said these words tremblingly, she immediately raised her head again, obviously she was so scared that she was out of control, looking at the girl in front of her, her eyes were full of guilt and remorse.
"Girl, the slave is wrong, the slave is really wrong, the slave is really afraid-"
Speaking of this, Yuhe knelt there beggingly, and kept kowtowing to Xiao Yi and said: "Your Highness, the girl is too afraid of losing you, please forgive the girl this time, please Your Highness-"
Yuhe's temperament is timid and simple, at this moment this scene fell in Guan Tong's eyes, she was not moved, only regret and disgust.
"Yuhe!"
When the voice of angry reprimand sounded, Guan Tong stepped forward and slapped Yuhe almost without hesitation, and then looked up on his knees with righteousness and awe: "The concubine has never done such a thing, the concubine really doesn't know, it must be Yuhe-"
Speaking of this, Guan Tong suddenly realized: "Yuhe has served the concubine since he was a child, and he is afraid that the concubine will fall out of favor, so he will do such a foolish thing, it is the concubine's failure to notice, it is the concubine's fault, I ask His Royal Highness to cure the crime of the concubine's negligence, and spare Yuhe's experience——"
Yuhe's brain exploded when she heard the sound, and she almost couldn't believe it, but maybe because she was too scared, she found that she couldn't say a word.
"Yuhe, I treat you like a sister, how can you be so confused!"
Guan Tong looked at Yuhe almost with hatred, and the next moment he said helplessly: "I know you are cowardly, but how can you fall on me in order to get rid of your guilt?"
Speaking of this, Guan Tong seemed to have experienced great betrayal and pain, tears kept falling, and his body trembled uncontrollably because of grief and excitement, looking extremely pitiful.
"Could it be that my housekeeper treated you so kindly, in exchange for being slandered by you so much, and the family style was ruined?"
