The imperial doctor answered the "whoosh", opened the balm box, and took out the silver needle from the medicine box.

The eyes of the people in the hall were all focused on the silver needle in the hand of the imperial doctor, Luo Shuangyi's heart beat uncontrollably, her eyes fell on the balm box, and she was slightly surprised when she saw that there was a vacant place in the balm box.

The imperial physician took out the silver needle, the silver needle was still the same color as before, glowing faintly, the first piece of balm was non-toxic, the imperial doctor shook his head, and then examined the second piece.

After such an inspection, about half of the incense has passed, and most of the balm has been checked, all of which are non-toxic.

Luo Yingxue's face became more and more ugly, and the Queen Mother also looked unconvinced, and reminded the Imperial Doctor in a cold voice: "Check carefully, if you miss a piece, the mourning family will ask you." ”

Luo Shuangyi couldn't hide her surprise, if someone with a heart harmed her, the balm should have been found out, why not? Could it be that the little finch found something strange and picked up the poisonous balm first?

Looking at the balm box again, her gaze swept over an empty spot where the balm was placed, remembering that the last time she used the balm, there was still a blue balm in the box.

At that time, I thought it was sent by Aunt Liu, so I didn't take it to heart, and now it seems that the piece of balm is likely to be put in by someone with ulterior motives.

"Empress Dowager, these balms ...... Innocuity. The imperial doctor replied truthfully, seeing that the queen mother's face was getting darker and darker, and at the end of the words, her voice couldn't help but get smaller.

Except for Luo Shuangyi, the faces of the people present changed greatly, and the Queen Mother picked up the soup bowl and threw it at His Highness, and after a crisp sound, the three people who were kneeling under His Highness buried their heads on the ground.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, Weichen has been tested again and again, and the balm is indeed non-toxic." The imperial doctor stiffened his neck and said, trembling in the face of the queen mother's anger.

"Non-toxic? The princess wore the bracelet she gave Gu poison into her body, if it wasn't for her balm, how could the princess be poisoned! The Queen Mother shouted.

Luo Yingxue squeezed her hands tightly, she didn't expect things to be so reversed. Her face was not as beautiful as the Queen Mother, and she whispered to the Queen Mother: "Could it be that the father-in-law who did the work didn't look carefully?" ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and looked at her father-in-law: "Chen Dequan? ”

"Queen Mother, the minions have indeed checked inside and out, and all the balm minions in Miss Luo's room have been brought back."

Luo Shuangyi put her mind at ease, it seemed that someone was secretly helping her.

It's just that this Xiaoyue is likely to be the culprit, she can't kneel here for so long, thinking about it, Luo Shuangyi asked the Queen Mother for instructions to ask Xiaoyue a few questions.

There is no evidence that the murderer is Luo Shuangyi, and the Queen Mother is not as tough as before, so she had to agree to her.

Luo Shuangyi stood up, looked at Xiao Yue, and saw that she was avoiding her gaze, she walked up to Xiao Yue, half-squatted down, and raised her chin: "When you were guarding the gifts alone last night, what did you do, and you were truthfully invited." ”

Xiao Yue shook her head, her eyes were ruddy: "Slave maid...... The slave maid took advantage of the young lady's rest yesterday and secretly put the Gu worm into the jade bracelet that the young lady gave to the princess. ”

Luo Yingxue's eyes glared lightly, her feet were weak, and she almost sat down.

The Queen Mother noticed her, thinking that she had stood for too long, and ordered someone to give her a seat.

Luo Shuangyi raised her eyebrows in some surprise, she didn't expect Xiao Yue to recruit so easily, looking at Xiao Yue's painful look, as if she couldn't help herself, she felt strange in her heart, but she still couldn't hold back her doubts and asked, "You don't know the princess, why do you want to hurt her?" ”

"It's not her who I'm going to harm, it's you." Xiao Yue finished her words clearly and coherently, and after she finished speaking, she looked frightened again, knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently, until her head broke and bled out.

Everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Yue with strange eyes, and Luo Shuangyi was the same, looking at her not like a discovery of conscience, but more like being caught in a Gu.

"I hurt you, because of jealousy, you are obviously just a concubine of Luo Wangfu, but you are held in the palm of your hand like a treasure by Luo Wangye, why are you born to be glorious and rich, but I can only be a slave and a servant?" Satsuki said heartbreakingly.

Luo Shuangyi noticed that Xiao Yue's expression was wrong, but he didn't point it out. After all, her current honest appearance can directly help her prove her innocence and clear her suspicion.

"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother stood up, her phoenix eyes were like blades about to smash Xiao Yue, she stretched out her soft wattle and pointed at Xiao Yue, "A mere maid dares to do such a bold thing." What is the crime of murdering the princess? Even if you die a thousand times, it's not a pity. ”

Luo Yingxue didn't dare to make a sound.

Xiao Yue burst into tears, the blood on her forehead flowed down her cheeks, merging with her tears, she cried silently, shook her head vigorously, and her mouth was different from her body's movements, only shouting: "I did it, I did it!" ”

Luo Shuangyi looked at her face and felt terrified, but the Queen Mother looked disgusted, and called the two grandmothers in a deep voice: "Beat the mourning family to death, let this cheap maid be sober and sober." ”

The grandmother next to the Queen Mother is very skilled in corporal punishment, and the two grandmothers rolled up their sleeves at the same time, one pulled Xiaoyue, and the other slapped Xiaoyue's face, and the slap resounded in the quiet hall.

Soon, Satsuki's cheeks were red and swollen.

Luo Shuangyi frowned, the Queen Mother asked her to stop, and forced Xiaoyue to ask, "Where is the antidote?" Hurry up and hand over the antidote, if the princess has a case, you will not die well. ”

Xiao Yue shook her head vigorously, her cheeks were swollen high, and it was difficult to even speak: "No ...... No. ”

"It seems that you have received a light sentence. Come on, drag this down and punish her until she says the antidote. If she still can't pry her mouth open within an hour, he will cut off her tongue for the mourners, and if she still refuses to speak, he will chop off her fingers and chop them off one by one! The Queen Mother said with cold eyes.

Satsuki was so frightened that she cried.

The Queen Mother turned her gaze to Luo Shuangyi, the haze on her face disappeared in an instant, and she was replaced with a rather kind expression, as if she was not the one who was going to torture people just now.

"The mourning family has punished this, and now the truth is revealed, everything is caused by this ignorant, you won't complain about the mourning family, right?"

"The courtiers also want to thank the Queen Mother for her insight." Luo Shuangyi said obediently on her face, but it was really difficult to accept the Queen Mother's approach in her heart, thinking that she was just anxious to find a scapegoat.

If you really find that poisonous ointment, I am afraid that the person who will be punished and beaten now is myself.

She thought to herself, but she didn't dare to say anything.

The Queen Mother beckoned and instructed Mama to bring a bowl of ginger soup, her eyes were a little softer than before, and she said to Luo Shuangyi: "I frightened you today, and after using up the ginger soup, the mourning family will send someone to send you back." ”

Luo Shuangyi was polite to the Queen Mother, and suddenly, only to hear a little eunuch cry out in pain, Luo Shuangyi looked over, only to see Xiaoyue rushing out of the confinement and running towards the palace.

"Second Miss, save... Save me. Xiao Yue's words were intermittent, but the people in the hall still heard it clearly.

With tears in her eyes, she seemed to have regained her senses.

Luo Yingxue was so frightened that she fell off the chair on the spot, and the maids on both sides stepped forward to resist Xiao Yue, a maid with fierce eyes, raised her hand and gave Xiao Yue a slap, and reprimanded for the master: "Where is the crazy girl, drag her down." ”

Luo Shuangyi's eyes changed slightly, and Leng Lingling's gaze swept straight towards Luo Yingxue.

Luo Yingxue was helped up from the ground, her eyes were red aggrieved, and she defended herself: "Queen Mother, sister, I don't go back to the palace much on weekdays, and I don't know this maid at all, Xue'er really doesn't know why she asks Xue'er for help, maybe it's because Xue'er treats people well on weekdays, so she made this move." ”

Yue'er's tears flowed straight down: "Second ...... Miss, you ......."

Before she could finish her words, she was forcibly held down and dragged out.

Luo Yingxue was afraid that Luo Shuangyi would be suspicious, and she was even more worried that she would ruin her reputation because of this incident, so she secretly scolded Xiaoyue a few words in her heart, thinking that she was really innocent, and then explained to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you must believe Xue'er." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Luo Yingxue: "The mourning family believes in you." ”

Luo Shuangyi was in her heart, this queen mother was a little biased, and when there was no evidence pointing to her, the queen mother was eager to make herself confess, and Xiaoyue asked Luo Yingxue for help There was obviously a problem, but the queen mother pretended not to see it.

"This crazy woman frightened Cher. Queen Mother, please let someone drag her out. Luo Yingxue looked frightened.

At this time, a eunuch suddenly came from outside the hall and said loudly: "The Seventh Prince Xie Jie has arrived. ”

Xie Jie rushed to the news angrily. When the palace people outside the palace gate saw it, they were frightened by the killing aura on his body and lowered their heads, and when they saw the sword on his waist again, the palace people couldn't help but sigh.

"Second Miss, didn't you tell Yue'er...... Do it. Xiao Yue said weakly, seeing Luo Yingxue turn her face and not recognize anyone, she was determined to tell the matter.

When Luo Yingxue heard this, she subconsciously clenched her hands: "Queen Mother, sister, this woman is crazy, Xue'er doesn't know her at all, let someone take her away!" ”

With a "bang", Xie Jie kicked in the door with a gloomy face.

He rushed in and grabbed Xiao Yue's neck and said, "You just spoke?" ”

Satsuki was strangled and nodded.

"You just said, who told you to do that?" Xie Jie's eyes were red, and his eyes were as if they were about to jump out.

Xiao Yue slapped his hand hard, looked at him pleadingly, and wanted him to let him go, seeing that the man was like a madman, instead of letting go of her neck, she pinched it tighter and tighter, and she couldn't help but reach out and slowly point at Luo Yingxue.

Xie Jie's gaze fell on Luo Yingxue, the corners of his mouth were pinched, Xiaoyue was released, and he walked towards Luo Yingxue in a deep step.

When the queen mother saw the sword at his waist, she was afraid that he would do something impulsively, and because of the friendship between the two countries, she reminded: "Seventh prince, if there is anything to say, the princess's family will definitely give you an explanation." ”

Xie Jie snorted coldly: "How does the Queen Mother explain?" Are you ready to catch a scapegoat? How can you make up for my sister's injury? ”
