XXXIII. Confession

Qing'er was thrown to the ground by the guards. Qing'er kept shaking. Zheng Nangong pulled out the sword of his personal guard Zheng Changming and pointed it at Qing'er. Zheng Nangong's face is that deep and hard, there is a kind of chilling majesty when he is not smiling, and when he is angry, he is even more afraid to look directly. "Say."

Qing'er lowered her head, "My lord, I didn't do it." The slave didn't know why the young lady was saying that about me. Miss must have misunderstood. ”

"What the hell did you do?" Zheng Nangong said word by word, which made everyone feel more and more terrifying.

"The slave didn't do anything." Qing'er shook her head vigorously. His face was pale and bloodless.

Zheng Nangong swung his sword without hesitation and slashed at Qing'er's wrist.

"Ahh Qing'er screamed.

Ning Yan smelled a burst of blood, and his fingers couldn't help but clench nervously.

Zheng Yue leaned on the personal maid, her lips trembled slightly, she had never seen her father so angry. At this moment, Zheng Wan, like everyone else, tilted her head slightly, not looking at Qing'er who was kneeling on the ground.

"Do you understand now?" Zheng Nangong sneered, "Don't challenge my patience. Say! ”

That voice made everyone's bodies tremble.

"Husband." Chen Zizhi stepped forward and wanted to persuade Zheng Nangong.

"Shut up and get out of the way." Zheng Nangong's anger didn't care about anyone at all. Everyone knelt down, the older ones remembered the events of fifteen years ago, and the younger ones, though they did not know what had happened, but when they saw that the mistress had been reprimanded, they could only kneel.

"The slave really didn't do anything. It's really not me. It was the fourth lady who wronged me, she had always disliked me, and she had long wanted to drive me away. Qing'er covered her injured hand and cried.

"Ahh The second sword slashed through the other hand, and Qing'er's hands were picked and hung on the ground.

"What's next?" Zheng Nangong leaned down and looked at Qing'er playfully. "Don't worry, without hundreds of knives, you won't die, I have a sense of proportion." The indifferent words revealed a hint of bloodthirstiness.

Qing'er looked at Zheng Nangong in surprise, she was used to the days when the wind was windy and rainy in the courtyard of the fourth lady, and she almost forgot that this was the Taiwei Mansion. Zheng Nangong licked his blood to become a captain. I suddenly knew in my heart that I was afraid that I would not be able to escape today. The pain hit me one after another, the tears couldn't stop, and the lips lost color, "It's the second miss." The second lady instructed me, and she said that if I could help her torture the fourth miss, she would let me go to her on an errand. ”

Ning Yan's hands kept trembling, and the smell of blood filled her sense of taste, this time it must have been difficult for Zheng Nangong. In the book, the case was overturned through Yuyang, when Yuyang led everyone to crusade against the Great Qin royal family, one of the reasons was to kill Zhongliang, in order to confirm this matter, it was to make a fuss about the Ji family's evil case, at that time, in front of the public, one person took the poison, and there was a situation of blindness flashing red, and then took out the antidote for its treatment. The man regained his sight. And the antidote was just developed before General Ji was burned at the stake, and before he had time to prove its efficacy, Mu Shi knew that there was no way to live, so he entrusted the medicine to the cell boss who was guarding him at that time, and the cell boss respected him as a person, so he secretly hid it, until Emperor Qin Wen built a mausoleum on a large scale, causing the people to live in poverty, and Yuyangjun was a young hero who dared to come out and tell the truth.

Now Emperor Wen of Qin didn't know about the existence of this antidote at all, to be exact, no one knew about this antidote except for the cell boss. At this time, the symptoms of the fourth lady of the Zheng family are the same as those of General Ji, if she is instigated by someone with a heart, she will definitely push all the rumors attached to General Ji back then to the Zheng family. In terms of Emperor Qin Wendi's suspicious character, the Zheng family is another risky move, although it will not shake the status of the Zheng family, but it will accumulate a lot, and the suspicion will accumulate more and more, and then any thing can overthrow this high-rise building. At that time, there will be no place for the family.

"She's talking nonsense." Zheng Yue stood up suddenly, wanting to rush to Qing'er and gag her mouth.

"Pull away." Zheng Changming pulled Zheng Yue aside. "Father, father, don't listen to her, she's crazy. She hurt her master and wanted to blame others. ”

"Sir. This maid is caught one is one. Chen Zizhi saw that her daughter was implicated, and she was busy speaking for Zheng Yue.

"Ma'am, I'll find out." Zheng Nangong's cold face made people dare not say more.

Ning Yan didn't expect that he, the fourth young lady who was not favored, was an ugly existence for everyone at the moment. What will Zheng Nangong do? "Father. Is it really that serious? Ning Yan asked cautiously.

What awaited her was silence.

Zheng Wan, who was kneeling on the side, shook Zheng Ling's hanging hand.

"How can it be proven?"

"In, in, under the pillow in my room, there is the handkerchief of the second lady, which is the material that can only be enjoyed in the east courtyard." The sweat on Qing'er's forehead kept dripping. Then he fainted.

Zheng Changming got the order and immediately went to Fengling Courtyard to check. "Zheng Qian, go and call Lin Doctor to come." Doctor Lin is a staff member of the Zheng Mansion, with excellent medical skills, if Zheng Nangong goes on an expedition, he must follow him before and after, and if he is in the capital, he will live in the Zheng family.

Not long after, Zheng Changming and Dr. Lin rushed over.

Zheng Nangong took the handkerchief in Zheng Changming's hand, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, there was a fragrance that seemed to be absent, and the word Yue on the handkerchief showed who the owner of the handkerchief was.

"Doctor Lin, let's see if there is anything peculiar about this veil."

Dr. Lin was very thin, and his gray hair showed his age. Carefully checked the handkerchief, and helped Zheng Ling take the pulse, and said in a thick voice, "There is a croton flavor in it, and there is an unknown fragrance." The eyes of the fourth lady should be related to this unknown scent. However, the subordinates still need to check again. ”

"Father, this girl must have stolen my veil." Zheng Yue was shocked when he saw the handkerchief.

"Wake this man up." Zheng Nangong ignored his daughter.

"Uh." Qing'er was woken up by a basin of cold water, and a trace of moaning overflowed her mouth.

"How did this veil come from?"

Qing'er struggled to raise her head, "A few days ago, Cui'er, the second miss's personal maid, came to me, she, she said, the fourth miss provoked the second miss, the second miss, and the second miss wanted to teach her a lesson." Let me help. Qing'er took a few breaths, "I didn't want to, but the second lady said that if I can help her complete this, she will promote me to a second-class girl after the matter is completed, and serve in the East Courtyard." I, I was fascinated for a moment, so I agreed. Yesterday, the second lady put the handkerchief wrapped in the medicinal powder in the pavilion near the west courtyard. After I got it, I knew about Miss Er, and Miss Two asked me to act. Today, I sprinkled the medicinal powder in the lotus seed soup and served it to the fourth lady. Qing'er's tears flowed uncontrollably. The slave really didn't know that this medicine powder was so vicious. If she knew, the slave wouldn't have done it. ”

"Zheng Yue. What's going on? ”

"Father, no, she lied." Zheng Yue didn't want to admit it, but shook his head desperately.

Zheng Nangong's sword looked at Zheng Yue's finger.

"My lord, Yue'er is your child." Chen Zizhi knelt in front of Zheng Nangong in a panic. The eyes are red.

"They are all good daughters born to you." Zheng Nangong stepped past Chen Zizhi. looked straight at Zheng Yue.

Zheng Yue looked at her father in front of her in a daze, no matter how willful she was before, her father had never pointed a sword at her, but this time. His face grew paler. Kneeling on the ground, "I, I just put some croton, I just wanted Zheng Ling to be ugly once, I didn't think she would be like this." Tears were dripping down. Looking at his father in front of him with teary eyes. "I don't really know why that's happening. I really don't know. Father, I know it's wrong. I don't dare anymore. ”

Zheng Nangong took back the sword and handed it back to Zheng Changming. "Put the second lady in the ancestral hall and think about it behind closed doors for a month. If this wicked servant dares to murder his master, his sin is unforgivable, and he will be struck with the rod. Those who dare to reveal half a word in today's event will end up like this evil servant. They all went back to their respective yards. Chang Ming, plus patrol soldiers. ”

Ning Yan heard the word cane death, his heart couldn't help but twitch, a human life was deprived so simply, his heart was entangled for a while, and he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching him, "Ling'er, you go back to Fengling Courtyard first, and Doctor Lin will help you treat it." I'll ask the butler to send you two maids. ”

"Yes. Thank you father. Ning Yan subconsciously agreed, but his hands and feet were cold. The smell of blood impacted Ning Yan's sense of taste, a feeling of nausea, Ning Yan held Zheng Wan's hand tightly, Zheng Wan frowned slightly, the hand that was squeezed hard hurt, but Zheng Wan didn't say anything, just suffered the pain.

"I'll send you back." At this moment, Zheng Wan's gentle voice seemed to save some of Ning Yan's thoughts. Relying on Zheng Wan's soul to return to his small courtyard. Within a day, his maid was executed, and he lost his eyesight. Ning Yan felt the pressure she had never felt before, and leaned on the bed sadly, "Sister, go back." I'm fine. ”

Zheng Wan looked at the haggard Zheng Ling. "Good. You should rest early, too. ”

Ning Yan was scared like she had never been, her head was buried between her legs, and she trembled uncontrollably, what should I do. What will Zheng Nangong do next? For the sake of the family, he can push Zheng Pingsheng away without hesitation, not to mention Zheng Ling's dispensable existence. A sense of fear filled his body, and Ning Yan gasped for air, like a drowning person needs fresh air. "It's okay, there is an antidote in this world. Isn't it? There must be a turnaround. There must be, this poison, Zheng Yue? Maybe Zheng Yue didn't do this, how could she have this kind of poison, then, could it be Zheng Wan? Since Yuyang is the person who has poison and antidote in the book, but now he is still a baby, so he must be the one who wants to help him, Zheng Wan, if it is not controlled by people outside, then the Zheng family is most likely Zheng Wan. Although I have to say that Zheng Wanyin is ruthless, but now it shouldn't be as powerful as blackened, so she must have a way. Ning Yan didn't have the panic he had at the beginning. It's better to wait.

In the afternoon, the old housekeeper sent two maids with great efficiency. Doctor Lin also came over to take a closer look, and without saying anything, he went out of the house and prescribed some tonic medicine.
