Chapter 1240: Escorted to Nangong Mansion
Aunt Zhou raised her eyelids weakly, "Mrs. Liu, it's not right to harm people, the prince already knows about the things you forced us to do." Fortunately, we repented in time and did not hurt the princess, and all this we did was forced by you. ”
"So what you two just ran in and said was fake, and you were all luring us into a trap?" Liu's yin owl gritted his teeth, his eyes burned with raging anger, and he wanted to burn the two of them to death!
Chu Xuanchen's eagle-like gaze glanced coldly at the house, and ordered in a deep voice, "The Liu family dares to drug the princess, there must be poison hidden in this house, come here, search for this king!" ”
As soon as he gave an order, Mo left them and hurried to turn over the burden of the Liu family.
He casually flipped through Liu's baggage, and turned out several bottles of poison, one of which happened to have the words "Artemisia on the Snow" written on it.
He hurriedly took the medicine and handed it to Yun Ruoyue, "Niangniang, I found a branch of artemisia in the snow from the baggage of the Liu family, please take a look at whether this poison is the same as the one in the fish soup." ”
Yun Ruoyue opened the medicine bottle, smelled the powder inside, and sniffed the half bottle of powder handed over to her by Aunt Zhou, and said coldly: "It's exactly the same taste, it's all Artemisia on the snow!" ”
"The Liu family and Nangong Rou dared to poison the princess, so that the king could get the stolen goods. Someone came, escorted the two to Nangong Mansion, and the king asked Nangong Wen to give Liwang Mansion an explanation! ”
Nangong Wen is Nangong Rou's father, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, and is the emperor's person.
"Don't, prince, please spare my mother." As soon as Nangong Rou heard that she was going to be escorted to Nangong Mansion, she immediately knew that they were going to be finished, so she hurriedly rushed to Chu Xuanchen's feet and begged him.
Chu Xuanchen's face was like Xuan Bing, his face was as heavy as water, and he pushed her away, "You are guilty of a capital crime, if this king spares you, I will be sorry for this king's princess and children." ”
"But lord, you still owe me a life-saving grace, can I exchange this kindness for my mother's life? I beg you to spare her once, she will never dare again! Nangong Rou cried.
Liu glanced at Nangong Rou speechlessly.
Why was she so breathless that she confessed to her guilt?
She originally wanted to quibble, saying that this poison was found by Aunt Zhou and the others to frame her for blaming her, but her daughter actually confessed, and she was angry and angry.
Chu Xuanchen glanced at Nangong Rou gloomily, "Didn't your life-saving grace already offset your life?" Nangong Rou, this king doesn't owe you a long time ago! Come on, escort them away! ”
Nangong Rou stared at Chu Xuanchen desolately, letting someone pull her away.
She glanced at him deeply, and then at the Liwang Mansion where she had lived for more than half a year, and felt very uncomfortable.
Countless fragments of life in Liwang's Mansion hit her mind, she still remembered the appearance of his first marriage to her into the mansion, the big red sedan chair, the gongs and drums were noisy, and now, she became a prisoner and wanted to be kicked out by him.
He is still so noble and arrogant, cold and outstanding, but looking at her eyes, he is very disgusted.
She knew that there would be more and more distance between them, that he would stand taller and taller until he reached the top of the mountain, and that she was a lowly ant, who could only look up to him, unworthy to stand with him.
After escorting the Liu family's mother and daughter away, Chu Xuanchen stared coldly at Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang, and said in a deep voice: "As for these two people, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, each of them will be beaten fifty sticks and driven out of the imperial city, and they will never be able to step into the imperial city again." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang, for sparing your life......" Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Xuanchen.
They poisoned the princess, and committed the capital crime of killing the head, and now they are only fined fifty sticks and save one life, and they are already very satisfied.
This time, not only did they not get any money, but they almost lost their lives, and they no longer dared to be greedy for money and do bad things.
-
On the way to Nangong Mansion, Yun Ruoyue told Chu Xuanchen about the disfigurement.
Back then, because she competed with Nangong Rou for the title of the first beauty, she was poisoned for no reason, resulting in becoming an ugly girl.
She has investigated this murderer for many years and has never found it.
