Chapter 216: The Princess's Mind Is Vicious
In the early morning of the next day, after Ning Guohou's wife ate rice porridge, she fell unconscious, and some of the little maids also showed symptoms of poisoning to varying degrees.
For such a thing, Xiao Yuanshan naturally wants to investigate thoroughly. Obviously, his wife is poisoned, and if it is just a fight between women in the backyard, no one would dare to attack his wife. Even if he really does it, he won't do it to some small guys who do miscellaneous labor.
This shows that someone is going to deal with him Ning Guohou Mansion, as for who attacked Ning Guohou Mansion, he has to quickly find out.
After a thorough investigation, it was finally found that the problem appeared in several wells in the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, which were poisoned by people, but fortunately, these people did not eat much, so they did not lose their lives.
But after checking and checking, it was found that such a poison was not something that Da Zhou had, but was prepared with the petals and stamens of a poisonous lotus in Beiliang.
Xiao Ziming knew the origin of this poison, so naturally the first person who thought of it was Princess Linghua, besides her, who else could get the Beiliang Poison Lotus?
Ling Hua naturally knew that the poisoning incident in Ning Guohou's Mansion was related to her lost poison, but when she said it, who would believe that the poison was not caused by her?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the door being pushed open forcefully, and then Gu Peiqing broke in triumphantly with a few rough mothers-in-law.
"Gu Peiqing, what are you going to do here?" Ling Hua asked as a princess.
"What to do? You should know very well that if you poison your mother-in-law, you will be beheaded according to the law of the Great Zhou. The prince ordered me to come to your room to look for evidence of guilt, and you should divide it in peace, so that you don't suffer for a while. You all search me carefully, don't let go of a corner, what makeup boxes and pillows are in, you have to check clearly, don't indulge such a vicious woman. Gu Peiqing said triumphantly.
Since Ling Hua married Xiao Ziming as a concubine, her life has not been as good as before, and the resentment she has been resentful these days can finally be vented, so how could she not seize this opportunity? If she can get rid of Ling Hua here, then she still has a chance to become a concubine.
The mother-in-law searched Ling Hua's room, but found nothing. If there is no evidence, then how can we get rid of this Linghua.
"Concubine Fang, we have searched inside and outside this courtyard, but we haven't found anything, what should we do next?" Gu Peiqing's henchman said in a deep voice.
"Take her to the hall, Hou Ye and Shizi are waiting in the front hall, see what Hou Ye does with her." Gu Peiqing waved her hand, and immediately several stout mothers-in-law stepped forward and grabbed Ling Hua and her personal maid.
Ling Hua and the maidservant were escorted to the hall, Xiao Yuanshan sat on the main seat, Xiao Ziming sat on the chair on the left, and both of them looked very solemn.
Gu Peiqing knew that when the situation was unclear, he must not talk nonsense, otherwise he would be implicated.
Ling Hua and his maidservant
Escorted to kneel on the ground, Ning Guohou looked at Ling Hua and said coldly: "Princess Linghua, although you have a noble status, but since you are married to Xiao'er, you have to abide by the rules of Da Zhou and do your duty as a wife. ”
"I didn't poison it, I didn't poison it." Ling Hua said hurriedly.
"Didn't you poison it? Who the hell is that? Don't forget, that poison is only available to you Beiliang Poison Lotus. How could anyone else have such a thing? Xiao Ziming said angrily.
"How do I know? This poison, I originally wanted to go down in Gu Mansion, but I didn't expect to meet a woman in Tsing Yi in Gu Mansion that day, she knocked me unconscious and took away the poison, this must have been done by that woman. Ling Hua said hurriedly.
Gu Fu? Woman in Tsing Yi? Originally, Xiao Ziming thought it was Ling Hua's nonsense, but now it seems that there is really a woman in Tsing Yi.
"The princess is really vicious, my father and the princess don't know each other, and they have never offended the princess, why do you want to poison my family? Could it be that you're dealing with my family because of me? Gu Peiqing sobbed.
"No...... No, I'm because ......"
Ling Hua didn't know how to answer this question for a while, and the prince sent someone to send her a message, just asking her to take the opportunity to choose a well-known official in Kyoto, poison his home, and create chaos in Kyoto, and did not specify that he was going to deal with the Gu Mansion, could it be that he said that he had made a temporary decision? Who would believe that?
"What are you for? You say! Gu Peiqing asked.
"I ...... Because King Rui and Princess Rui teamed up to deal with me before, I have always held a grudge in my heart, so when Old Lady Gu was born, it was like poisoning and punishing her. Anyway, there are a lot of talented people around Princess Rui to help, and Old Madam Gu will be fine. Ling Hua said calmly.
"Will it be okay? Who knows if what you say is true or false? You wicked woman. Gu Peiqing said indignantly.
Even if Gu Peiqing knew Ling Hua's original plan, she would not step forward to fight Ling Hua, because for the Gu family, they would not care about her at all, since this is the case, then why should she put her own happiness into it for the sake of others.
"Of course I said yes, isn't my mother fine?"
"You still dare to mention my mother, you slut, my mother hasn't woken up yet, and you still say it's okay? If my mother had three long and two short, I would have killed you and buried my mother with me. Xiao Ziming gritted his teeth and said.
Although his father had a lot of concubines and concubines, these people were all stepping stones to pave the way for himself and his sister.
At this moment, the maidservant girl beside Mrs. Ning Guohou ran over crying, "Master Hou, Shizi, it's not good, Madam has been vomiting blood, it looks like she can't hold on."
……”
"What? Didn't you already drink the detoxifying decoction just now? And what about the others? Is it the same for everyone else? Ning Guohou said hurriedly.
For the sake of safety, the antidote decoction prescribed by the doctor was first given to the people in the house to drink, and then he was brought to his wife after seeing that they were fine.
The minions felt that it was their master's kindness that would detoxify them first, but in Xiao Yuanshan's eyes, these people were just test specimens for testing medicines.
"Back to Master Hou, those people got better at the beginning, but now some people are starting to vomit blood, and I heard that two people have died." The servant girl wept and replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan walked out of the hall quickly, he and his wife couldn't say how much affection they had, but after all, they had been husband and wife for many years, and there was always a relationship. If he didn't go to see it at this time, wouldn't it be too unkind?
What's more, now that such a thing has happened in the mansion, if it spreads, the face of his Ning Guohou Mansion will be gone.
"Lord Shizi, quickly let someone prepare a car for me, I will go to the Rui Wangfu, that Yun Zheng Doctor Holy Doctor has excellent medical skills, and the imperial doctor in the palace can't compare." Gu Peiqing said in a deep voice.
Xiao Ziming glanced at Gu Peiqing, and now he could only let Gu Peiqing go, if he went to the door, he was afraid that he would not even be able to enter the door.
"Okay, Peiqing, I'll take a hard trip for you." Xiao Ziming grabbed Gu Peiqing's shoulders with both hands and said.
Immediately, Xiao Ziming glanced at Ling Hua, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his hand, and ordered someone to lock him up in a dilapidated house in Beiyuan, and also sent someone to guard it.
If Ling Hua had an antidote, he would have taken it out a long time ago, so why let them ask for a doctor? Gu Peiqing understood this, how could Xiao Ziming not understand.
It's just that Ling Hua's identity is special, even if he does something heinous, he can't kill her. But it's okay to lock her up.
Gu Peiqing got into the carriage and hurried all the way to the door of King Rui's Mansion, the little guy guarding the door naturally recognized her, and also knew that Gu Peiqing's relationship with her princess was not harmonious, and she was thinking about finding some excuse to take people away, when she saw Gu Peiqing kneeling in front of the door of King Rui's Mansion with a puff.
"Sister, sister begging sister for help." Gu Peiqing knelt in front of the door and cried loudly.
This move naturally attracted a lot of onlookers, and the little guy on the other side also quickly ran into the mansion to report what was happening at the door.
"Princess, Concubine Ning Guohou, is kneeling at the door of our mansion, crying loudly, asking to see the princess, does the princess want to go out to see him?" The little guy stood outside the door and said respectfully.
Gu Peiqing was crying outside the door and begging to see him? What is this going to do, although she doesn't like Gu Peiqing, but if she comes, she won't order someone to kick her out, just kneel outside the door, what kind of song is this?
"Princess, if we don't go out, let her kneel and cry, she will definitely not be good when she comes." Xiangzhi pouted.
"Yes, Princess, why don't we take a look first?" orchid
Shiba echoed.
Judging from Gu Peiqing's past behavior, there must be nothing good about her coming to the door this time, so as Xiangzhi and Lanzhi, who know Gu Peiqing well, their thoughts of protecting Gu Yunxin at this time must be the same.
"Let her cry outside, won't it become a joke in the Rui Wangfu, come out with me to have a look." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"Yes, Princess." Xiangzhi and Lanzhi said respectfully.
When I came to the gate of the house, I saw that Gu Peiqing was still kneeling on the ground, and there were more and more onlookers, and everyone didn't know what they were talking about.
Gu Peiqing saw Gu Yunxin walking out, hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Gu Yunxin's skirt and cried, "Big sister, help." ”
"Help? Isn't that good, sister? Why do you need me to save your life? Gu Yunxin raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Big sister, it's not me, it's Mrs. Ning Guohou, Princess Linghua is poisoning Mrs. Ning Guohou, and the antidote decoction prepared by the imperial doctor in the palace has no effect, so my sister has the courage to come to my sister and invite the doctor to the house to save people." Gu Peiqing cried.
Hearing this, the onlookers began to talk in a whisper, and the scene was even more lively than the storytelling in the teahouse.
