Mrs. Qin took Qin Zhong to the palace, and after the two met King Ding, they went directly to accompany Qin Zhen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Mother and son have a lot to say when they meet, especially when they have children.
Qin Zhong was a little embarrassed when he listened to them, so he went back to them, and went to look elsewhere, just in time to see if Su Yingxia came.
As luncheon approached, the servants hurried back and forth in and out of the kitchen, and no one had time to say a few words.
Minghuan went to the kitchen to help, and when he saw that the soup that Su and Qin Zhen had to drink before meals every day had not yet been served, he took it away.
The soup cups of Su and Qin Zhen are a pair, both of which were newly sent by Dingwang last month, and the only difference is that the twisting head on the lid is different. Those who regularly serve both are recognized.
Minghuan took the soup cup to a secluded place in the mansion and poured the bag of smallpox powder into it ruthlessly. took advantage of people's inattention to bring the soup back to the kitchen, and pretended that he had a stomachache and couldn't deliver the soup.
Qin Chong was alone in the garden admiring the flowers, and at this time this was the quietest place in the entire palace.
"Madame......"
Minghuan trotted deep into the garden and told Su about the medicine.
"I've already put things into Madam Qin's soup as you instructed."
"No one found out."
"No, I'm careful."
"Okay, now Qin Zhen's son won't be born. Minghuan, you go do things first, I'll go back too, don't arouse suspicion. ā
"Yes, ma'am."
After the two whispered, they walked away separately, no one expected that Qin Chong would hear their conversation clearly. Listening to them, he had added something to his sister's soup that would cause her to have a miscarriage.
After they left, Qin Chong immediately rushed to Qin Zhen's residence to stop the conspiracy, and did not dare to delay for a moment.
Halfway through, I accidentally bumped into a maid.
"Excuse me, are you alright?"
The maid held the tray in her hand and said comfortably: "Fortunately, the soup soup of the ladies has not been overturned." Qin Gongzi, why are you in such a hurry? ā
Qin Zhong heard her talk about the soup, and his eyes noticed the tray in her hand, and there were two porcelain cups on the plate.
"Are you going to bring the soup to Mrs. Qin?"
"Yes, both ladies are there." The maid replied.
Qin Zhongxin was secretly glad that the soup had not been sent over.
"Which one belongs to Mrs. Qin?"
"Oh, the one on the left, the twisted head is a bat."
"Let me see if there's anything in the soup that my sister doesn't like."
Without waiting for the maid to answer, Qin Zhong directly took the tray, turned his back and opened the lid to check it, and when he closed the lid back, he quietly swapped the two lids.
"Well, nothing special. The soup is getting cold, so you can send it quickly. ā
"Yes."
followed the maid to Qin Zhen, and watched the maid send the soup cup she had changed to her sister, and Qin Chong was relieved.
After the maid finished delivering Qin Zhen's soup, she continued to go inside to deliver soup to Su's family.
Su Shi had been waiting anxiously in the room, getting up from time to time to look out.
"Madam, the slave has brought you soup."
Seeing that the maid only brought in a soup, Su Shi asked, "Did Mrs. Qin's have you sent it?" You can't slack off your birthday today. ā
The maid curtsied and replied, "The slave has been sent just now." ā
"That's good, put it on the table."
The maid put down the soup and withdrew.
Su Shi looked at the soup cup and sighed, after all, he still had to use this method. However, now, there is no way back. As long as it is good for the future of the son, it does not matter if it is evil.
Thinking about these things uneasily, she didn't notice that the soup was slightly different today.
"Hey, the soup seems to be a little strong today." Qin Zhen said after tasting two mouthfuls of soup.
Mrs. Qin smiled: "I'm afraid your taste is getting more and more tricky." ā
"No, it's a little different."
Qin Zhong explained: "Maybe the kitchen thinks that today is my sister's birthday, so let's make it chic." ā
Qin Zhen said: "Maybe so. It's just an ordinary birthday, and the prince has to do it, it's really extravagant. ā
Mrs. Qin said: "This shows that the prince values you, and you are not satisfied." ā
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, I just think it shouldn't be like this."
"Ouch, my good daughter, you just have to worry about yourself and the child in your belly at this time, and don't worry about anything else. When you give birth to a son for the prince, then these are not enough. ā
After hearing this, Qin Zhen just smiled shyly and continued to drink his own soup.
While Qin Zhen was chatting and laughing here, something big happened on the Su family's side. The maid who was waiting in her room ran out in horror to find the butler.
When King Ding returned from the palace, the housekeeper came to report that something had happened to the princess.
When he rushed to Su's room, Su was already weak. I saw that her lips and eyes were black, and her mouth and clothes were stained with black blood.
"What's going on?" King Ding put aside his sadness for a moment and asked sharply.
Everyone in the room trembled and knelt down, "The slave doesn't know that the lady drank the poison in the soup on the table." ā
After hearing this, King Ding immediately ordered the housekeeper to check the bowl of soup, from the beginning of the soup to the time it was sent to the Su family's room, and all the people who had handled it could not let it go. He also ordered that no one in the know should be allowed to spread the news, especially to hide it from Song Yunchen. Fortunately, Song Yunchen has not returned home at the moment.
As soon as this matter was investigated, the entire palace became panicked. Although most people still don't know what happened, the news of the princess's sudden death has spread far and wide.
In the end, the matter was found to be on Qin Chong. Because according to the maid who delivered the soup, she was intercepted by Qin Zhong halfway, and he also opened the soup cup to check.
When the housekeeper brought someone to invite Qin Chong to see King Ding, Qin Zhen and Mrs. Qin were very frightened, seeing that the housekeeper's posture did not look like he was here to invite someone, but as if he was arresting someone.
Qin Zhong calmly persuaded: "Mother, sister, don't worry, the prince just asked me to go and interrogate, nothing will happen, I will come when I go." ā
As soon as Qin Chong and King Ding talked, the facts surfaced. In order to verify whether his one-sided statement was true, King Ding ordered Minghuan to be brought for interrogation.
Minghuan was already frightened by Su's death, and King Ding asked, where did she dare to hide it in the slightest, and as a result, she confessed to Ma's again.
In this way, King Ding completely understood that the whole thing was a plan to kill two birds with one stone for the concubine Ma.
Ma first instigated Su's jealousy of Qin Zhen and persuaded her to take medicine to let Qin Zhen have a miscarriage. However, what she provided to Su Shi was poison, and when Su Shi poisoned Qin Zhen's food, she could stand up and bite back, and Su Shi would also be punished at that time.
Although this method is risky, the chance of success is very high, after all, the poison was cast by Su Shi herself, and she can't rely on Ma Shi. And even if she said that the poison was given by Ma, King Ding might not believe it, and might think that she was trying to pull someone out to blame.
Song Yunchen ran back from the school in a hurry, his article today was praised by Mr., and he planned to present it to his mother and father with Mr.'s comments. However, the first thing he heard when he returned home was a bolt from the blue.
The "splendid article" in his hand fell to the ground......
āāāāāāāā
This is the cruel truth that he has always been unwilling to touch, whose fault is it?
