"It's true that a few slaps won't kill anyone, but can you guarantee that there won't be a problem with her own condition?" Chi Yingchu's words seemed to wake her up suddenly.

Zhao Lique was suddenly dumbfounded, standing in place in a daze with tears in the corners of her eyes, unable to say a complete sentence, if this caused a death, then she could not escape the blame.

Now it's too late to regret it, so she can only find a way to remedy it, so she found Chu Yimiao, but Chi Yingchu is not an immortal who can be saved if she wants to.

Her two delicate brows were tightly wrung up, and she didn't have time to use breakfast, so she pulled Zhao Lique out: "You take me to see where the people are first." ”

"Good. Zhao Lique wiped away his tears and nodded again and again to lead the way.

Before I entered the courtyard and reached the house, I heard a faint cough inside, and the three or two maids felt bad luck and walked out of it with their noses covered.

Seeing this, Chi Yingchu raised her feet to go in, but was stopped by Zhao Lique, she turned around and asked in surprise, "Didn't you ask me to come and see?"

Zhao Lique put down his hand again, a trace of panic crossed his eyes, as if he had made great determination to follow up, and some words just turned into a sentence when he came to his mouth: "Don't get too close." ”

Chi Yingchu didn't understand the meaning of her words, there was a flower curtain in front of the bed as a cover, she raised her hand to open it, and smelled a strong stench, which made her almost faint.

Zhao Lique stood at the door and refused to approach, so she had to pinch her nose with a handkerchief and walk to the bed, see the maid's pale face clearly, and touch her forehead and temperature.

There were indeed marks of being beaten on her face, but the maid's neck was red a lot, her fingers were swollen, and cold sweat broke out on her hairline, as if she had been fished out of water.

This kind of sign is not just because of a few slaps, but like it is highly poisoned......

She couldn't hold it back, walked outside the house and took a deep breath, Zhao Lique lost her previous arrogance at this time, and looked at her with uneasy eyes.

"Did you see anything?"

"I'm not a miracle doctor, what do you think I can see?" Chi Yingchu couldn't help retching when he thought about it, and replied angrily.

Usually only a few days after a person's death does the stench emit, but the maid clearly still has some vital features, and her pulse is normal.

"When did you do it?"

"It was yesterday afternoon. At this juncture, Zhao Lique didn't dare not tell the truth, "Last night, it was rumored that she was dying, I thought she was pretending to be and ignored it, who knew that she came over early this morning......"

"It's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, I really don't know how to solve it, you helped me get through the difficulties smoothly this time, and I promise you one thing unconditionally in the future!"

"Has anyone else approached her?"

"From the moment I found out, I ordered my own people to stay here, so that no one else approached. ”

It was only a few hours from yesterday afternoon to night, and it was strange that such a thing suddenly happened, this was still in Lu Yuanbai's mansion, so it would definitely not be able to hide it from him.

Chi Yingchu felt that it was tricky, Zhao Lique was a person who didn't know anything, if Lu Yuanbai was willing to intervene, the matter would be investigated much faster than the two of them.

"You go to the prince now to explain the situation, and ask him to ask the imperial doctor to come and see. As soon as she finished saying this, Zhao Lique's face changed and she decisively refused.

"No, if I want the prince to know, then I won't find you, what's the use of asking the imperial doctor, she is an incurable disease. ”

She clenched her palms, and a poisonous light appeared in her eyes, "It's just a subordinate, if the matter really can't be solved, then I will order someone to bury her, and it's a big deal to pay more money to her family!"

Chi Yingchu was shocked by her idea, it was she who almost killed her, not only did she not want to solve it, but she also moved the idea of burying her alive.

Zhao Lique's mind is ruthless enough, and he is also stupid enough.

You think that burying you alive will be fine, then just go, but there will definitely be traces to follow. This matter is very strange, it is very likely that someone else planted the blame on you, maybe we have been secretly targeted, don't talk about me at that time, even the prince may not be able to protect you. ”

Chi Yingchu's face sank, and she turned around to leave, Zhao Lique was scared by what she said, and grabbed her and wiped her tears again: "Don't go, I'm confused, I'll order someone to find the prince!"

She sent the maid, briefly explained a few words, and the maid left in a hurry.

"Chunzhi is the girl I brought over with my marriage, and she is quite reliable. ”

Chi Yingchu didn't respond, and just as she was about to walk into the house again to check, she saw that the maid on the bed actually got up, and kept kowtowing through the curtain and begging for mercy.

"Woo woo five aunts spare their lives, the maid is just acting on orders, there is really no private swallowing, the person responsible for the distribution and sale is the steward, in the past, you had twice as much pearl powder there, and this year the quantity is limited......"

The maid's crying voice was powerful, not at all like a seriously ill person, Zhao Lique was still flustered, but when she said this, she suddenly became angry again.

"I have seen the prince more times than all of them, and I naturally deserve more than them, if you didn't do something wrong, how could you be sneaky at that time?"

The maid was choked up and couldn't speak, Chi Yingchu stopped her scolding, and when the maid's crying calmed down, she hesitated for a long time before asking.

"Then she beat you, did you come back like this?"

"Yes. The maid was silent for a moment and then responded, "I was beaten back from the fifth aunt, and I cried without even eating at night, and I slept more and more heavily in the middle of the night. ”

"Do you have any pain?" Chi Yingchu thought of the redness and swelling of her fingers in her neck, but the maid said she didn't feel it.

Half an hour later, Lu Yuanbai came over, and when he entered the house and saw the scene inside, his face was not good-looking, the maid smelled bad, and the people who lived in the same room with her couldn't stand it before leaving.

Zhao Lique didn't dare to appear beside the prince, and silently hid in the corner, Chunzhi glanced at Chi Yingchu, and then reminded in a low voice: "My aunt is here with her, this matter must be tricky to solve, it is better to find a scapegoat first......"

Zhao Lique was silent, and after hearing this, his eyes involuntarily turned to Chi Yingchu.

Lu Yuanbai swept Chi Yingchu with cold eyes, and his tone was not good: "You caused it again?"

"How is it possible!" Chi Yingchu hurriedly argued, he had no evidence, how could he pull all the bad things on himself!

"Since it's not you, then why are you here?" Lu Yuanbai looked at her, as if he really suspected her.

"I'm not the only one here, didn't you see it clearly when the prince came?" She just wanted to pull Zhao Lique to testify, and the maid Chunzhi opened her mouth at this time.

"Chu Tongfang, don't lie to people, my aunt received your news, so she came over, and no one saw what happened before. ”

Chi Yingchu's eyes widened, she thought to herself that she had really been bitten by a dog early in the morning, and she was kind enough to accompany Zhao Lique over, but now she was beaten upside down.

Lu Yuanbai was already suspicious of her, and Chunzhi was adding oil and vinegar again, so could she clear her suspicions?

"The subordinates here are all watching with their own eyes, and there are also maids inside...... as soon as Chi Yingchu finished speaking, those subordinates didn't dare to speak casually, including the maids in the house who were almost killed by Zhao Lique.
