Chapter Seventy-Six: Investigation

The atmosphere in the front hall of the Allure City Hall was calm and depressing, and a row of maidservants knelt on the ground.

King Fenyang grimaced, and a pair of eyes swept around the group of people on the ground, so frightened that the people kneeling on the ground shrank for a while.

"Wei Feng, go and invite the princess over." King Fenyang commanded Wei Feng in a deep voice, and watching Wei Feng walk out of the door, he sat down, looked at the group of people on the ground, and suddenly slammed the side table hard.

The side table is made of bluestone wood, and the material is heavy, but when it was beaten by the king of Fenyang, a small piece was suddenly concave.

"In my Fenyang Palace, there are still people who can do such a terrible thing!" King Fenyang was obviously angry, and his face was full of anger.

"Father, don't be angry yet," Ruan Tingge sat aside and persuaded, "Let's figure things out first." ”

"Your knife wound is not yet complete, and now you have been poisoned again, which makes me why I am not angry, why not worry." King Fenyang said to Ruan Tingge, his voice softened a little.

"Master Li has already prescribed medicine for me, father, you don't have to worry." Ruan Tingge smiled slightly.

King Fenyang furrowed his brows and said, "Most of the servants in the palace are the sons of the Ruan family, and they have always been loyal, I didn't expect someone to secretly poison you." ”

As he spoke, he glanced fiercely at the group of kneeling people on the ground, "If I find out, he will definitely be..."

Ruan Qingge interrupted King Fenyang's words and said lightly, "Father, it's too early to say this, let's find out the person who poisoned it first." ”

It didn't take long for Fang Jirou to hurry to the Allure Palace, she was also startled when she heard the news, and as soon as she entered the door, she looked at Ruan Tingge with concern and asked, "How is Tingge feeling now?" What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”

Ruan Qinge replied, "The toxicity is still shallow, the imperial doctor prescribes me an antidote, sister-in-law don't worry." ”

Fang Jirou relieved her heart a little at this time, saluted to the King of Fenyang and shouted, "Father." ”

Although the king of Fenyang has always had a bad face, he didn't put a face on his daughter-in-law, nodded and said, "Sit down." ”

Since Fang Jirou married into the Fenyang Palace, she has been in charge of the internal affairs of the palace. Today, when I heard that Ruan Tiange was poisoned, I couldn't help but be shocked, and I felt a little panicked, knowing that I had to bear some responsibility no matter what.

The king of Fenyang called her over at this moment, and he probably had this meaning.

Although Fang Jirou, the princess, is nominally the princess to take care of the house, she is only the princess after all, not the princess of Fenyang. She is not very easy to manage the courtyard of a group of side concubines and ladies on the side of the Zhengde Hall of the King of Fenyang, and she can't interfere with the Sang Zhi Hall of her grandmother Mrs. Yide, in fact, she just occupies a position.

Who wants Princess Fenyang to die early, there is no serious hostess in the palace.

But no matter what, she still has to bear the responsibility of being a housekeeper.

Fang Jirou sat on the chair and looked at the group of people kneeling, and her face, which had always had a soft smile, became serious.

Seeing that Fang Jirou was uneasy, Ruan Tingge smiled at her comfortingly and signaled not to worry.

Fang Jirou also reluctantly smiled back at her and settled down.

Ruan Tingge looked at Bai Lu, who was kneeling at the front, and asked, "You are responsible for delivering all the food I eat on weekdays, do you know that you are the most suspicious of poisoning this time?" ”

Bai Lu had already understood what was going on at this time, and her always cute and lovely face was full of panic and fear, and she kept her head down and knelt on the ground trembling.

Hearing Ruan Tingge ask her, Bai Lu raised her head and replied in a trembling voice, "The slave maid has no intention of poisoning the county lord, and I also ask the prince and the county lord to investigate." ”

"Don't panic first, as long as you answer my questions honestly, I will tell." Ruan Qinge's voice was not loud, but there was no doubt in his words, "Think about it, compared to the past, what is the difference between you and the past few days, or what has happened differently?" ”

Bai Lu didn't dare to hide it at this time, and hurriedly said with a pale face, "In the past few days, whenever I send medicine or desserts to the county lord, Sister Cailing always accompanies me to the kitchen, saying that she wants to help me." ”

After saying this, she glanced at the ringtone, and the look on her face didn't know whether it was more suspicious or guilty.

Cai Ling, who was kneeling beside her, looked calmer than Bai Lu, and when she heard Bai Lu say this, her voice was quite steady, "Since the county lord was injured, I have been responsible for a lot less things on weekdays, so I want to help Bai Lu share some of the burden." ”

"You have a heart." Ruan Qinge didn't see any expression on his face, just glanced at Cai Ling and said lightly.

CRBT's head bowed slightly.

"Besides RBT, what else is there?" Ruan Tingge asked Bai Lu.

Bai Lu had been thinking about it for a long time before, and then shook his head and said, "It's gone." ”

Ruan Tingge looked at the others again, "The kitchen manager came out for a while." ”

A slender woman with a slender face who was about forty or fifty years old and dressed fairly fine hurriedly moved a few steps, knelt down next to the ringtone, and said respectfully, "Old slave Chen, I have seen the county lord. ”

"It turned out to be Aunt Chen," Ruan Tingge said lightly, "Since you are in charge of the kitchen, how did this poisonous medicine and dessert come out?" ”

Aunt Chen's forehead was sweating, and she trembled a little and said, "The old slave is derelict in his duties, and I ask the county lord to forgive me." ”

King Fenyang snorted coldly on the side, his face fierce, "Everything is done like this, it's light to drag it out and kill it directly." ”

As soon as he said this, the group of people kneeling on the ground trembled, Bai Lu's tears were frightened, and Cailing lowered his head and trembled slightly.

Aunt Chen was even more frightened and kowtowed, her forehead turned red, and she cried, "The prince forgives the sins, the county lord forgives the sins, the old slave has been on errand in the Ruan family for several generations, and the old slave also watched the county lord grow up, and he works diligently on weekdays, and he doesn't dare to take it lightly, and please ask the prince to spare the old slave's life for the sake of the old slave's loyalty..."

Ruan Tingge glanced at King Fenyang a little helplessly, and said to him softly, "Father, didn't you say that I would handle this matter?" ”

King Fenyang's face stiffened slightly, pursed his lips and stopped talking, still looking at the people on the ground fiercely.

Ruan Tiange turned his head to Aunt Chen, who was crying on the ground, and said, "Aunt Chen, don't cry first, answer my question well, if the answer is detailed and correct, it can prove your innocence, and I will not punish you more." ”

Aunt Chen hurriedly stopped crying, raised her head tremblingly and promised, "The old slave will definitely tell the county lord everything he knows." ”

"How long do you spend in the kitchen on weekdays? And who is responsible for boiling the medicine? Ruan Tingge asked.

"The old slave often watches in the kitchen during the day, especially when the county lord eats three meals a day. But generally when the county lord boils medicine, the old slaves are handed over to Ya'er to take care of. Aunt Chen replied.
