Chapter 16: A bite back

Lu Yuanbai's narrow eyes oozed coldness, grabbed Chi Yingchu's hand, and pulled it towards him suddenly: "So far, what else do you have to say?"

She is really at a loss for words at the moment, this is not the case, why did Lu Yuanbai become the real murderer behind the scenes as soon as she came over?

"I," Chi Yingchu saw the arc of Chunzhi's mouth that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and her heart was cold, "I want to say that I didn't do it myself, can the prince be trusted?"

She remembered that she hadn't offended Chunzhi either, although she had some festive seasons with Zhao Lique before, but the two had been close recently, and the relationship should have improved.

Then who instructed the maid to say this, Lu Yuanbai or Zhao Lique?

"This king speaks only by looking at the evidence. ”

The implication of this is that if Chi Yingchu can't find evidence, Lu Yuanbai will treat her as a murderer.

It's too late to save her life in the palace, and she has to work hard to get favor for others, so she wouldn't have waded into this troubled water if she knew it!

"Then the prince has no evidence to prove that it has anything to do with me!"

"If you are innocent, there are more than a dozen pairs of eyes here, why don't any of them speak for you?" Lu Yuanbai choked on a word, and she was speechless.

Does she want to say that her position is too low, and she doesn't even take her seriously, so she is wantonly framed and bullied?

Chi Yingchu took a deep breath and calmed down his mentality: "Please give me a few days, and I will definitely find out the real culprit." ”

"How many days exactly?" Lu Yuanbai glanced at the inner room, "Don't wait for you to find out, everyone is gone." ”

She is confused now, and she really can't tell the specific time, the corners of Lu Yuanbai's mouth tugged: "Then I might as well decide for you, I want to see the result the day after tomorrow, otherwise you will deal with it according to law." ”

Then she only has one day left for tomorrow!

"Hmm. Lu Yuanbai turned around to leave, and Zhao Lique seemed to have great courage to stand up.

"If the prince wants to punish me, punish me, I accidentally beat the person, she just wanted to help me, and the concubine would not lie for her. ”

Lu Yuanbai glanced back at her thoughtfully, Chi Yingchu didn't expect her to be willing to speak for herself, and her heart instantly relaxed a lot.

Just looking at his expression, he didn't believe it, Zhao Lique wanted to explain again, so he heard him say in a deep voice: "That's it, you two will check together, and if you can't find out, you will both be punished." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Zhao Lique was overjoyed.

After Lu Yuanbai left, the two of them asked about last night's situation one by one, and they both said that there was nothing abnormal before the onset of the girl's symptoms.

"My maid is also forced to make this decision, don't blame her, if you use my help, just come and find it. ”

"Yes, but I don't want that to happen again. "Chi Yingchu is not a bad person with overflowing sympathy, she knows whether it is good or bad.

Everyone else is going to harm her, and she is not allowed to care, what is the reason?

Now that I think about the maid's words, maybe it wasn't what Zhao Lique meant, otherwise she wouldn't have to stand up and clarify in one more move.

"The doctor who should be invited still has to be invited, it is more convenient for you to come and go than me, this matter will be left to you to do, I just asked those subordinates, she has always been in good health, and she was inexplicably ill some time ago. ”

"So you have to find a reliable doctor to check carefully, don't tell others, even if there is a situation, only the two of us can talk about it......"

Chi Yingchu leaned into her ear and whispered a few words, Zhao Lique suddenly heard it, and agreed repeatedly: "Okay." ”

After the two left, they returned to their respective rooms, Chunzhi was afraid that she would ask about Fang Cai, so she knelt down directly and pleaded guilty: "The maid just wanted to help the young lady clear up the relationship at that time, and she didn't think of it so much, so she made her own decisions." ”

Zhao Lique glanced at her coldly, and there was no anger on his face: "Get up, I won't blame you in this matter." ”

Only then did Chunzhi dare to get up, and the corner of her eyes secretly looked at her expression, and said cautiously: "Actually, the prince was already suspicious of her at that time, Miss didn't speak for her, and she couldn't blame Miss for ......"

"I don't know why, I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart, the prince seems to treat her differently. ”

Zhao Lique held his head with one hand and sighed, if he wanted to find a reliable doctor, he could only use the power of his mother's family.

"I'll write a letter later, and you'll find a way to get it to Daddy. ”

"Yes. The maid was about to quit after answering, but she shouted from behind.

"Some time ago, I beat you in a fit of rage, because I regard you as the closest person around me, how many people in this palace are looking forward to me losing power, today's incident may not be an accident, my cooperation with Chu Yimiao may not last long, and only you can be trusted. ”

Zhao Lique took out the white jade ointment, pulled back her arm and pushed the sleeve up: "This medicine is the best to eliminate bruises, your injuries are ......"

"Miss!" Chunzhi didn't have time to stop, and there was a look of weakness in his eyes.

Most of the bruises on the two arms had disappeared, only a few small patches were red, and the two wounds had scabbed, which would not have healed so quickly if it hadn't been medicated.

Zhao Lique grabbed her and tightened his strength, and the tip of his nose was close to smell a faint medicinal fragrance: "Did you take the medicine yourself, who gave it to you?"

Chunzhi saw that she let go of her hand, but she still didn't dare to put her sleeves back, but lowered her head: "I, I asked someone to buy the medicine outside." ”

"I don't blame you, get out. ”

Zhao Lique said this, Chunzhi quickly left the house, she was not without the slightest suspicion in her heart, the price of being able to achieve this medicinal effect in a short period of time must be expensive, so where did she get the money?

But Chunzhi was brought over by herself from marriage, and she didn't believe that she would betray her.

Chi Yingchu was not completely clear about the layout of the palace, so he could only go to the subordinates to inquire, and actually asked that the maid was once Zhao Lique's side, and was later driven to the steward to do kitchen work.

Then why didn't Zhao Lique mention it before, is there another hidden meaning in this?

The more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she simply went over again, this time without pinching her nose with a handkerchief, and going inside the curtain to ask carefully.

The maid refused, and repeatedly refused to meet: "The smell on my body is very strong, it's better if you don't get too close." ”

"As long as I can find out the results, I don't care about that. Chi Yingchu opened the curtain and walked in, the maid's face froze significantly, and quickly returned to normal.

The smell is really heavy, not the kind of rotten smell, it is indescribably stench.

The maid stared at her with the eyes of a strange person: "Others can't avoid the smell of my body, but you have to take the initiative to come up......"

"Can you tell me more about the process of delivering pearl powder that day?" she looked around, but found nothing strange.

"I've already said what I should say, what else do you want to ask?" the maid burst into tears, "I know I won't live long, but I'm not reconciled!"

"Then did you have a holiday with Zhao Lique before this?"

"Nope. The maid spat out two words firmly.

Chi Yingchu concluded at a glance that she was lying, so she simply said to her: "Then why did I find out, you were kicked out by her before?"

"Zhao Lique is indeed picky and unbearable, I don't believe she didn't make things difficult for you at the beginning......"
