Chapter Seventy-Five: Wrath
When Qi Hongshan saw this teapot, she exchanged eyes with the maid who helped her do this, and she knew the deeds in her heart but revealed them, and she panicked a little.
"What is Concubine Chu doing with a teapot, this teapot can prove that I hurt you, it's a joke." Qi Hongshan pretended to sneer with disdain on her face.
I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin!
Gu Tianyan's eyes were slightly cold, Qi Hongshan still didn't admit it, did she really want to make trouble for His Royal Highness the Prince?
In fact, in Qi Hongshan's heart, she naturally didn't want to make trouble with His Royal Highness the Prince.
Concubine Chu has been favored by the prince these days, and the prince is now on the rise, and his heart is all tied to her. In case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really finds out that she did it, not to mention how bad Qi Hongshan's image is, if she is really punished for this matter, this is what she is most afraid of.
"Eggplant flowers, slightly toxic, a small dose can relieve pain, eat more will be groggy all day long, until death. Qi Hongshan, if you add so many eggplant flowers to Sister Chu's kettle, you really want Sister Chu's life! Gu Tianyan looked at Qi Hongshan and said lightly.
Only then did the people around understand that a few days ago, they heard that Concubine Chu was groggy and made the prince unhappy, and it turned out that someone had poisoned her.
Qin Cairen, who came to hear the wind, whispered, and looked at Hongshan's eyes wrong.
"What kind of eggplant flower, Gu Tianyan, I don't know what you're talking about at all. How could I, a young lady from the Marquis of Qi Ning, understand things that only these vulgar people can understand. ”
Qi Hongshan laughed and defended twice: "Yo, Gu Liangdi is the daughter of a medicinal food family, when it comes to eggplant flowers, I'm afraid that the person we know best here is you!" Could it be that Gu Liangdi assassinated Concubine Chu, and she didn't dare to admit it, so the rooster crowed and the dog thief, and the thief shouted to catch the thief, and deliberately framed me. ”
Qi Hongshan's words are also reasonable, ordinary women will not understand the properties of the medicinal herb of mountain eggplant. What's more, they are all rich ladies raised in a deep boudoir mansion, and it is even more impossible to contact medicinal materials. Only Gu Qianyan, the daughter of a family of medicinal food, has been dealing with these medicinal materials since she was a child, and she is familiar with their medicinal properties, and she is even more handy in using them.
The mountain eggplant flower was found in Chu Jiaorou's Yingjiao Pavilion, and the person who found it was Gu Qianyan.
Besides, Gu Tianyan is also closest to Chu Jiaorou, so naturally he has the best chance of being drugged.
In this way, Gu Tianyan's suspicion really can't be escaped!
"Don't talk nonsense, Sister Gu won't hurt me, Sister Gu is an indifferent character, do you think she is so vicious like you!" Chu Jiaorou saw that she wanted to push the suspicion onto Gu Tianyan, and hurriedly said.
If Gu Tianyan wants to harm her, just let her continue to drink the mountain eggplant flower, why bother to help her find out the truth.
"Then when did you see me enter your Elite Pavilion? Everyone entered the Prince's Mansion together, and since the day of entering the Prince's Mansion, I dare to say that I have never stepped into your Yingjiao Pavilion for half a step, and how can I drug you under your nose. ”
Feeling that she had found a reason, Qi Hongshan was even more unscrupulous: "Chu Jiaorou and Gu Qianyan, don't you really want to rely on your high position and want to bend me into a move!" ”
"This ......"
Chu Jiaorou frowned and hesitated.
She naturally didn't doubt Gu Tianyan at all, but what Qi Hongshan said was also reasonable, thinking about it carefully, she really hadn't entered Yingjiao Pavilion. Aren't they the ones who want to harm her, but there are other people who want to hurt her?
"Concubine Chu, I also don't think this matter can be decided sloppily. Gu Liangdi and Qi Chenghui are both suspicious, you can't just suspect Qi Chenghui, it's not fair. Otherwise, Concubine Chu went to find Sister Yang and see what she was thinking. Qin Cairen said in a chattering voice, although he said that he wanted Chu Jiaorou to treat everyone equally and be fair to Qi Hongshan. But the tone was biased towards Qi Hongshan, and he spoke to Qi Hongshan.
Qi Hongshan glanced at Qin Zinuo, and her mood was slightly better. Looking at Gu Tianyan and Chu Jiaorou's eyes, they were even more disdainful, except for the two of them, everyone else's hearts were towards her Qi Hongshan, even Yang Pinglan, whoever they reasoned with was the same result.
Chu Jiaorou saw that things seemed to have reached a dead end, and after thinking about it for a while, she decided to go to Yang Pinglan to make a decision.
After a while, a group of people came to Yang Pinglan's place.
With such a big thing happening outside, Yang Pinglan naturally received the news a long time ago, but she still pretended not to know.
"What's wrong with my sisters, how come they all came to my sister early in the morning."
Yang Pinglan spoke gently, and while walking, she led everyone into the house and arranged it.
After sitting down, Chu Jiaorou told Yang Pinglan what had happened, and asked her to help make a decision.
After hearing this, Yang Pinglan pretended to be taken aback, and said: "I heard a few days ago that my sister is not feeling well, and my sister planned to find my sister today, ask a royal doctor, and help my sister check her body, but I don't want someone to deliberately poison my sister." There is still a person in our prince's mansion who has such a vicious heart, my sister doesn't have to worry, my sister will definitely find out who that person is and help my sister avenge it. ”
Chu Jiaorou nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you sister for your kindness, but my sister and Gu Liangdi have already found out that the person who poisoned me is Qi Chenghui, and I beg my sister to make the decision for me." ”
Chu Jiaorou was very firm, and she was sure that it was Qi Hongshan.
This made Yang Pinglan hesitate and was a little embarrassed: "What my sister said is not unreasonable, but what Sister Qin said is also right." Gu Liangdi and Qi Chenghui are both suspicious, how can my sister insist that it is Qi Chenghui? ”
"It was Qi Chenghui who told Sister Gu personally!"
Chu Jiaorou was a little anxious, was Yang Pinglan distrusting her? If she continues like this, she will inevitably drag Gu Tianyan, who tried her best to help her, into the water.
"When did I tell Gu Liangdi in person that I hurt you, is what she says is what it is? If I really hurt you, how could I not try my best to cover it up, but tell the truth to others. Concubine Chu, don't be stupid. Qi Hongshan said sarcastically.
"Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. Since the matter is still unclear, let's wait until I look it up. Fortunately, Sister Chu is okay now, if there is really any misunderstanding, it would be fine, everyone should not hurt the harmony. Several people have their own reasons, and Yang Pinglan has no choice but to play a round game.
At first, she said that she would investigate the matter strictly and punish the person who hurt Chu Jiaorou. Now it's just a trivial matter, and everyone will talk about the misunderstanding and it's over. Could it be that this is the end of it, and the bad guys will not be punished, won't it further fuel her arrogance?
Although Gu Tianyan was indifferent after being reborn, he didn't want to worry about too many things. But at this time, the other party is her best sister, so she naturally can't just forget it!
Seeing that Gu Qianyan was about to open his mouth to argue, Yang Pinglan hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like the intrigue in the mansion, and he doesn't like the disharmony between our sisters, so let's stop today's matter!" Everyone should keep their mouths tight, don't let the prince know that he is angry. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep voice with a cold heart came from the door.
"Oh? I don't want Hongu to know about something. ”
The crown prince in a court robe had a cold face, strode in, and sat on the main seat. The cold eyes glanced around his concubines, and stayed on Chu Jiaorou's reddened eyes for a few minutes.
"Rou'er, come on, what happened today, 1510 said, don't miss a word."
Chu Jiaorou looked at Yang Pinglan's slightly bad face, took a deep breath to suppress the grievances in her heart, and explained everything to the prince today.
After hearing this, the prince was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table.
"Yang Pinglan, you want to hide such a big thing from the palace, you are so bold! This palace has temporarily handed over the backyard to you to manage, and you can let him make such a miasma. ”
"It's the concubine's dereliction of duty, and I beg His Highness to punish her. In the future, the concubine will do her best to find out the murderer of Sister Chu and manage the backyard well. ”
Seeing this, Yang Pinglan's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and said with tears streaming down her face.
Chu Jiaorou looked at Yang Pinglan's appearance, and felt a little unbearable. The person who harmed her was not Yang Pinglan, if it affected her this time, she would not be happy in her heart. hurriedly said a few good words to the prince, and said that it was not Yang Pinglan's fault, Yang Pinglan said that she would help her find the murderer.
The prince didn't really want to deal with Yang Pinglan, but felt uncomfortable being blinded, and at the same time wanted to give an explanation to Chu Jiaorou, who had been wronged.
Seeing that Yang Pinglan took the initiative to admit her mistake, most of her anger disappeared, and Chu Jiaorou also interceded for her, so her heart softened, and she forgave Yang Pinglan.
Without waiting for Yang Pinglan to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Feng Jinglan say lightly: "This palace will not pursue you for the time being, but you are limited to making things clear within ten days, otherwise if something similar happens, this palace is the only one who asks!" ”
