Qin Yuan followed Zhang Dehai to the front hall, and saw General Xue sitting in the front hall, with the eldest lady, the second lady and Imperial Doctor Zhu standing on the side, and a few people kneeling in the center, including the frost.

Qin Yuan entered the front hall aggressively, walked quickly to Dye Shuang's body and ordered, "Get up!" Dye Shuang replied and slowly got up, only to see that the right side of her face was slightly red, and it seemed that she should have been beaten.

Qin Yuan then frowned deeply, slowly walked in front of the eldest lady, and slapped her hand, "Smack!" ”

The eldest lady didn't have time to dodge at all, she covered her face incredibly, and looked at Qin Yuan dumbfounded, although General Xue on the side did not speak, but her face was extremely deep.

Qin Yuan looked at the eldest lady angrily, and said harshly, "But a lady with no grade, who dares to touch her concubine, is really too presumptuous!" The eldest lady pursed her lips unconvinced at the moment, her eyes did not show a trace of fear, and she said categorically, "The little palace maid slandered and humiliated the concubine, do you want the concubine to swallow her anger?" ”

"Smack!"

Qin Yuan then shook his hand and slapped again, and said in a strong tone, "You still have to watch people when you beat dogs!" Does the eldest lady think that this concubine is a vegetarian? The eldest lady's face was red from Qin Yuan's beating at the moment, and she bit her lip and looked at Qin Yuan extremely dissatisfied, Qin Yuan then chuckled indifferently, "Is the eldest lady unconvinced?" Oh, this concubine will convince you today! ”

Qin Yuan then turned around and sat on the chair, her face was very serious, and she glanced at everyone without smiling, and the majestic momentum made everyone dare not speak, and then asked the second lady sharply, "Second lady, what is going on?" ”

Seeing that Qin Yuan was so angry, the second lady was also a little frightened, and stepped forward lightly and whispered, "The concubine went to the small kitchen to prepare food in the evening, and happened to see the eldest lady's maidservant Chang Hong adding something to your medicinal diet, and after careful inspection, she found that it was actually saffron. At the end of the words, the second lady's tone became obviously softer, and she looked at Qin Yuan cautiously, afraid that Qin Yuan would be angry because of this.

Qin Yuan then frowned slightly, and said in an indifferent tone, "Who is Chang Hong?" At this time, I saw a maid kneeling on the ground, and said resignedly, "The slave maid is." ”

Qin Yuan glanced at it roughly, "Is the second lady's words true?" Chang Hong was extremely aggrieved at this time, "Back to Huigui's concubine Niangniang's words, the slave and maid are wronged, the eldest lady has been angry these days, so she has prescribed some recipes to remove the fire, the slave and maid were decocting medicine for the eldest lady at that time, and you didn't touch your medicine jar at all, and the second lady came in and scolded the slave and maid for framing you, and the slave and maid were wronged." After speaking, Chang Hong's eyes flashed with tears of grievance.

The second lady resolutely said at this moment, "Concubine Hui, the concubine and Xi Qiu went to the small kitchen together, and Xi Qiu also saw it. At this time, I saw the maid behind the second lady stepped forward and said, "Back to Huigui's concubine Niangniang's words, the slave saw Chang Hong sneakily holding a white paper bag, which was pouring into your medicine jar, and the second lady stepped forward to take it and found that it was saffron, which had been firmly determined by Imperial Doctor Zhu." ”

At this time, the eldest lady said to the second lady indignantly, "Mrs. Ben just said that Xi Qiu is your personal maid, so she naturally wants to speak to you." ”

The second lady snorted coldly, "Then how do you explain the testimony of the guys in Ji'an Hall?" ”

"That's just what you bought, Mrs. Ben only bought heat-clearing and gunpowder materials in Ji'an Hall, and didn't buy any saffron at all."

"Hmph, eldest lady, you said that I bought off the guys of Ji'an Hall, where is the evidence? Now that the matter has been revealed, the eldest lady naturally has to find a reason to cover it up, and the eldest lady must have a grudge when she sneaked back to the mansion because of Hui Guifei! ”

"Second Madam, let's talk about the conscience of heaven and earth, Mrs. Ben didn't frame Concubine Hui at all, but she was just a lady of the Xue Mansion, if you want Mrs. Ben, you can give it to you, you don't need to go to such great lengths to harm me!"

Qin Yuan watched the chattering and arguing between the two, and instantly became extremely irritable, and shouted loudly, "Enough! Don't quarrel anymore, this concubine doesn't care about your personal grievances, since someone wants to harm this concubine, this concubine naturally wants to find out which one is Ji'antang's buddy. ”

At this time, the young man who was kneeling on the ground kowtowed to Qin Yuan and whispered, "The grass people are." ”

"Tell the truth what you know, if there is a lie, this concubine will kill you!"

The guy from Ji'an Hall swallowed his saliva nervously, and his voice trembled nervously, "Chang Hong came to the pharmacy in the afternoon before yesterday and asked the grass people to catch the medicine according to the medicinal materials written on the paper. ”

Qin Yuan then turned her gaze to Imperial Physician Zhu, who nodded slightly, and said in a flat tone, "Weichen has checked it, and there is indeed saffron added to the medicine jar." ”

At this time, the second lady smiled obliquely, picked up a note from the table next to her and said, "The old lady sent someone to check the eldest lady's bedroom and found this medicine list, this trace is indeed the eldest lady's, even the old man can't see the clue, Hui Guifei, please take a look." ”

Qin Yuan took the medicine list, and the crumpled paper read: three taels of honeysuckle, two taels of chrysanthemum, three taels of raw licorice, and other heat-clearing and fire-removing herbs, and at the end, the word saffron was written, perhaps just because saffron is the focus of today, so it is particularly eye-catching.

Qin Yuan then raised her eyes indifferently and looked at the eldest lady, and said in a cold tone, "The eldest lady, what else do you have to explain?" With the evidence in front of you, don't you allow this concubine to say a few words for you? ”

The eldest lady smiled indifferently, "When the concubine went to grab the medicine the afternoon before yesterday, she didn't write any medicine list at all, and the medicine she drank was prescribed by the guys from Ji'an Hall. At this time, the guy who was kneeling on the ground said eagerly, "Second lady, this list of medicines has been tested by Imperial Doctor Zhu, and even Imperial Doctor Zhu said that it is accurate. ”

Qin Yuan frowned deeply and asked, "Imperial Doctor Zhu, is what the guy from Ji'an Hall said true?" Imperial Physician Zhu nodded, "The medicine taken by the eldest lady, except for saffron, is the same as that on the medicine list. The words of Imperial Physician Zhu are the most powerful evidence.

Qin Yuan was extremely angry for a while, looking at the eldest lady with hatred, her serious face, like Kunlun towering, her angry face, and like a thunderbolt general, the woman's soft show retreated, replaced with the vigor of a strong man, and roared loudly, "Big lady, what else do you have to explain!" Murdering the emperor's heir is a capital crime, and my concubine is tired of seeing you! ”

The eldest lady was so angry that her face turned red, and she didn't give up, and said in a firm and powerful tone, "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, the concubine knows that she has entered the Xue Mansion and violated the wishes of the former lady. ”

Qin Yuan was already furious when he heard this, his eyes widened, his facial features were huddled together hideously, and his face looked terrifying, even General Xue on the side was shocked, he had never seen Qin Yuan have such a ruthless look, only to hear a snap, Qin Yuan slapped the table angrily, and the sound of the teacup on the table was enough to swear Qin Yuan's displeasure at the moment.

Qin Yuan immediately roared angrily, "Presumptuous! Dare to be so rude to this concubine, since the eldest lady is so resolute, this concubine will follow your wishes! ”

Qin Yuan glanced at General Xue indifferently, and said indifferently, "Father, you didn't call the whole family here today, you must not want to make a big deal about this matter, and your daughter now just wants a satisfactory result for the fetus in her womb, otherwise, don't blame her daughter for ignoring the face of the Xue family and disposing of this matter to the Queen Mother, and now that the daughter is bad for the imperial heir, the Queen Mother can naturally intervene." ”

Qin Yuan's words couldn't be clearer, how could General Xue not hear what he meant, if General Xue let the eldest lady continue to live today, Qin Yuan would definitely not be able to, the queen mother was already dissatisfied with the eldest lady, if it was handed over to the queen mother, it would not only damage the face of the Xue family, but also the eldest lady would not survive.

General Xue looked at Qin Yuan heavily at the moment, he suddenly felt that Qin Yuan in front of him was no longer the daughter who obeyed his orders back then, even if General Xue was reluctant to give up for the sake of the Xue family, then General Xue said in an indifferent tone, "Big lady, this general will give you three feet of white silk, and you will end this life." ”

At this moment, Chang Hong knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice, "Master, Mrs. has been wronged, you can't treat Mrs. like this, Mrs. is sincere to you, how can you make Lord Cao and Mrs. Cao live by doing this, Master ......"

The eldest lady stood in place at this moment and smiled meaninglessly, without the slightest fear, and smiled faintly at General Xue, "Master, I know that this is your last resort, you have to do this for the sake of the Xue family's face, I don't blame you, I blame fate for making people, you and I met too late." ”

The eldest lady had tears of warmth in her eyes, and forced herself to squeeze out a sweet smile, and then said with a smile to General Xue, "I was born before you were born, and I am old when you were born." Hate is not born at the same time, and every day is good with you. Husband, let's see you again in the next life. ”

As soon as the words fell, the eldest lady rushed to the corner of the table, knocked her head on the corner of the table, and instantly saw a stain of blood on the corner of the table, and the eldest lady was bleeding on her forehead, collapsed to the ground, and died......

Seeing this, Chang Hong knelt down and crawled in front of the eldest lady, crying sadly, Qin Yuan did not have a trace of pity, and glanced at Zhang Dehai, Zhang Dehai hurriedly understood, stepped forward and slapped Chang Hong's neck, Chang Hong immediately fainted and fell to the ground.

Everything happened too suddenly, making everyone stunned, the second lady on the side was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't say a word, General Xue looked at the eldest lady on the ground with sadness in his eyes at the moment.

Qin Yuan slowly got up without being shocked, and said to General Xue in an extremely indifferent tone, "Father, for Qin Ling's sake, the Xue family should continue to be in charge of the second lady, you still don't want to marry a woman in the future, it is destined to be a short life." ”

Qin Yuan glanced at General Xue unhappily, got up and walked out of the front hall.
