Chapter 159: The Princess's Accusation!
"If you don't learn, you can't learn!" Liu Xu glared at Liu Changqing, "Plaything is demoralized!"
"It's a good thing that a child has a whimsical idea, why does the prince say that he doesn't learn and can't do anything?" Mo Ziyu said dissatisfiedly. "Shizi, if you have any ideas, you can do it, you will only know if you can do it if you have tried it, in case it is a good idea!"
"You just get used to him!" Liu Xu shook his head and sighed.
The wonder of fate is that it will let you see the cruelty, and it will also secretly bury a small surprise for you.
For Liu Changqing, cruelty came too early, he tasted the blood of power, he lost a lot, when he stood on the edge of the cliff in despair, he would think of this afternoon, a foreshadowing laid by fate for him.
Liu Xu did not break his promise, and soon it was the eighth day of the new year, and the matter of the third lady was about to come to an end.
It was the last day he had rested at home, and there was a shallow sunshine on it, no different from a normal day.
After dinner, the princess, Concubine Su, the second lady, Mo Ziyu, and the grounded third lady were all called to the hall.
"I don't know why the prince called us all here?" asked the princess with some uneasiness, she guessed what had happened in her heart, and had a faint bad premonition.
"Last time, there was no explanation about whether the third lady concocted a fake pregnancy and tried to blame the second lady for a miscarriage. Liu Xu said lightly, "It's time to give you an explanation today." ”
The third lady's eyes were red, and her body was thin as if a gust of wind could blow her away, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Lord, you must be the master of the concubine, the concubine has been harmed, and she has been wronged by cowardice!"
Liu Xu sighed softly and said with pity: "You get up first, sit down, true or false, you will have your own opinions later." Qing Yue, bring people up. ”
After a while, I saw Qingyue bring Xue'er up, Xue'er's clothes were clean, but her face had a lot of wounds, and her expression was timid, and she suffered a lot.
"Can she explain?" asked Liu Xu.
Qing Yue hugged her fists and said: "Although she is a woman, her mouth is very hard, and she is determined, those medicinal materials were all asked by the third lady to find someone to buy." ”
"You are talking nonsense!" said the third lady sharply, "I can't stop you in any way, you want to frame me like this!"
Qing Yue continued: "Xue'er is just a rough girl in Qiongfang Courtyard, when it is so secret, the third lady should leave it to her henchmen to do, why would she ask her to buy it, not to mention that she also found her uncle who loves to gamble? His mouth is not hard, and he confessed with a whip, and he did collect a sum of money from Xue'er to let him buy those medicinal materials, and the first time to buy medicinal materials was when the third lady was found to be pregnant, but the time of the last two medicinal materials was not right, that day because he was drunk with wine, it was two hours later than the agreed time to buy medicinal materials, and it was during these two hours that the third lady had a miscarriage. ”
After a pause, Qing Yue continued: "It can be seen that it is not true that the third lady dominates all this, and the time is not right. The third lady should have been designed by someone to think that she was pregnant, and then she had a miscarriage, and the miscarriage was blamed on the second lady, which killed two birds with one stone. The person who bought Xue'er should be the main messenger behind it. ”
"Hmm. Liu Xu nodded, "Go on." ”
Qing Yue clenched his fists and invited Imperial Doctor Hu, who had been treating the third lady and judged that the second lady had caused the third lady's miscarriage.
"Imperial Doctor Hu, did you mean that everything was mastered by the Third Lady?" Qing Yue asked with a sharp gaze, "I ask you again, is your words true?"
Imperial Physician Hu glanced at the princess, and her body began to tremble with fear: "This...... This ......"
"Imperial Doctor Hu has a great relationship with the princess, right?" the second lady smiled faintly, "At the beginning, I was wronged by this old man and said that he was the one who caused the third lady's miscarriage, and I wanted to interrogate him at that time, but the princess rescued the person with a roar!"
"Imperial Doctor Hu is an imperial doctor after all, and I'm just afraid that you will do something too big because of your anger. The princess hurriedly argued, "As for the rest, it's you who think too much." ”
At this time, Imperial Physician Hu suddenly took out a small brown bottle from his sleeve and wanted to take poison to commit suicide, but Qing Yue was quick and kicked the bottle in his hand away.
"Doctor Hu, is this a weak heart? You just need to tell me what you know. Qing Yue said coldly.
"I, I don't have anything to say!" said Mrs. Hu through gritted teeth.
"Since Imperial Physician Hu doesn't want to say it, then let me help you say it. Qing Yue took out a packet of white powder from his arms, hugged his fists, and continued, "Does the prince remember this?"
"What is this?" Liu Xu gave him a look, and let people take this thing in front of him and smell it.
"When Bailing came to send ginseng soup to the prince, the ginseng soup was given an aphrodisiac medicine, and it was this medicine. Qing Yue said, "This medicine was given to Bailing by Yun'er, which may have also caused Bailing to be killed, because there is also a medicine in this medicine, Zilu." ”
"Zilu?" the second lady's eyes changed, and she sneered, "I remember this thing, it was the cheap maid in my yard who put this thing in my sachet, and this Imperial Doctor Hu said that this purple dew is combined with the wind kite, which has the effect of musk." How could Yun'er have such a thing?"
She glanced at the princess coldly again: "This Yun'er was the princess before, right?"
"Yun'er has been going to Qiushui Garden for a few days, and she is no longer from Tongzhi Academy, what did she do, I am the princess's palace, and I have the responsibility of not being strict, but I can't explain that I instructed her to do anything, right?"
"Could it be that Mrs. Ning instigated it?" the second lady smiled, "Mrs. Ning shouldn't let Yun'er instigate Bailing to seduce the prince, right?"
Although this evidence counted on the princess, there was no tangible evidence to prove that the place was indeed concocted by the princess. Qingyue said, "But in the princess's courtyard, there is also a rough girl named Lin'er, thirteen years old this year, frail and sickly, and Xue'er's biological sister, which may be the reason why Xue'er refuses to confess." But unfortunately, he died three days ago. ”
"What did you say!" Xue'er, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her eyes and glared at Qing Yue, "What did you just say? Who died of illness?"
"Lin'er!"
"Impossible!" Cher screamed, "Impossible! She won't die, how could she die! The princess promised to get the best doctor for her, she couldn't die, you're lying to me!"
She crawled towards the princess with a look of disbelief, and was held down by two guards halfway, she struggled: "Princess, you tell me that my sister is not dead, he is lying to me, he is lying to me, is he lying to me, right!"
The princess closed her eyes, bit her lip, and did not speak.
"After this incident, the third lady and I have been injured, she has not recovered yet, and I have been wronged in a good way, only you are unscathed. As Qing Yue said, it is indeed killing two birds with one stone. The second lady hooked the corners of her mouth, and said with a cold smile, "Princess, what a plan! I always thought that you let the third lady have a miscarriage, and then blamed me, but I didn't expect that starting from the beginning, it was all in your calculations! Prince, the princess has a vicious mind and ruthless methods, and her virtue is not worthy of being a princess at all, please ask the prince to uphold justice with the third lady for the concubine!"
She stood up and continued to ask Xue'er, who was kneeling on the ground and crying: "Say, did the princess let you wronged the third lady?"
"Yes!" Xue'er cried and said, "One day Qiu Tong came to me, saying that Lin Er was seriously ill, and Lin Er's life was now in her hands, and she said that as long as I did what she told me to do, I would let the princess ask Lin Er to ask a doctor to cure the disease! I thought it would be enough to buy a few medicinal herbs, but I didn't think that these things were used to wronged the third lady!"
The second lady glared at Imperial Physician Hu coldly: "Imperial Physician Hu, what do you say?"
Imperial Doctor Hu had the backbone and kept his mouth shut.
"Lord Wang, the truth is already obvious now. The second lady said, "Everything is led by the princess, please make the decision for us!"
The third lady knelt down with tears in her eyes: "The concubine has lost half of her life because of this matter, and she will be wronged, please ask the prince to uphold justice!"
"The king knows that you two have been wronged, so get up. As if all this was expected, although Liu Xu was disappointed, he didn't have much emotion, he glanced at the princess, "Do you have anything else to say?"
The princess closed her eyes, two lines of tears fell, she took a long breath, then opened her eyes and said, "There is nothing to say about the concubine." ”
She smiled self-deprecatingly: "After the concubine entered, the second lady and the third lady followed closely behind, and then Concubine Su also entered. In the past ten years, the concubine has not been happy for a day. The second lady and the third lady's maiden family were all concubines, and Concubine Su gave birth to a son, although the concubine was a princess, she had no status at all, depending on their faces, she had to pretend that she was not in good health, and she couldn't ask about it. The status of the Yang family is flourishing, and the second lady has been promoted to a side concubine, she has long been eyeing the position of the princess, if the concubine body does not take action, there will definitely be no place for the concubine in this Qi Palace. ”
She looked at Liu Xu with complaint and admiration, and continued: "Now that the matter has come to this, does the prince feel that he has no responsibility? If you are willing to take care of me a little more, how can I be so insecure? The concubine body does not know what she has done wrong, it will make you so bored, depriving me of the only power in my hands little by little, making me a princess useless, what is it about me that makes the prince so dissatisfied? Because the concubine does not have a powerful mother's family, or is it because the concubine is not beautiful enough? In that case, why did you marry me in the first place?"
