Chapter 113: Self-Determination
Ning Chuxi looked at Xiao Er with wide eyes in disbelief, and said loudly, "Raise your head!" Princess Ben orders you to keep your head up! ”
Xiao Er's eyes were red and swollen, and she raised her head to look at Ning Chuxi with difficulty.
"Why, Xiao'er, you grew up with me, I treat you as my own sister, and even secretly went out of the palace with only you, I trust you so much, why do you do that?"
Facing Ning Chuxi's questioning, Xiao Er's heart was like a needle prick, "Princess, it is Xiao Er who will be used when she is unladylike." I don't know, I just wanted to teach Lin Qingyu a lesson, and I didn't expect it to be like this! ”
"Give Grandma a lesson? What do you mean by that? ”
"The princess Jinghu is in distress, it is clearly arranged by Lin Qingyu, and the princess likes General Lin, but she always likes to stand between you and the general, she is a sinister and cunning villain, but the princess, you were deceived by her, so Xiao'er wanted to warn the princess......"
"So you're going to poison me?"
"The slave maid thought that the poison would only make the princess diarrhea for a few days, but she didn't want to be used by someone and almost hurt the princess......"
"Smack!"
Ning Chuxi threw the medicine bottle in his hand to the ground, the bottle body shattered, and the pills inside were also messed up.
This is the tonic she specially gave to Xiao'er, but now it seems that she doesn't need it!
"Do you know that the matter of Jinghu was discussed with Ah Yu, the purpose is to match me and General Lin, you don't understand in your heart, stubborn, can't you come and tell me? Also, since I met her, she has tried her best to help me and enlighten me, and has never stood between me and General Lin, and she has a marriage contract with the prince of Yun'an, and the two have a very deep relationship, can't you see it? ”
Ning Chuxi looked at Xiao Er in disappointment, "Don't talk about Ah Yan, just say how can you do it to me?" Is it a poison that doesn't kill people, you can try it for me? ”
"Afterwards, you didn't repent, and you wrongfully imprisoned Ah Yan, I never knew you were such a despicable person!"
Xiao Er was ashamed, her head hit the ground, and her voice was loud and scary: "Princess, kill me!" ”
Ning Chuxi sighed, "You go, from today onwards you are no longer my slave, you can go wherever the world is big, just don't let me see you again." ”
"Princess ......"
"Get out!"
Ning Chuxi was the first to leave, leaving Xiao Er with an irretrievable back.
Xiao Er cried loudly, she regretted it, in her life, only the princess would be really good to her, even if she knew that she was poisoned, she would not pursue it.
She thought that Du Ruoxian was her lover, but she was wrong, wrong......
Xiao Er picked up the pills scattered all over the place, wrapped them in a handkerchief, this was the last thing the princess gave her!
Xiao Er got up with difficulty, regardless of the wound in his abdomen, and walked out of the hotel in embarrassment.
Ye Yi happened to come back from outside, and was quite surprised to see Xiao Er, so he stepped forward and said, "Xiao Er, where are you going?" ”
Xiao Er laughed miserably, "Go pay off the debt you owe!" ”
"How much is it, I'll help you, you're injured now...... Xiao Er, Xiao Er! ”
Xiao Er resolutely left despite Ye Yi's shouts, and Ye Yi looked at her lost soul and was worried, so he hid behind her.
Ye Yiyi planned to take her back when she couldn't hold on, but he saw Xiao'er walk into the mansion.
She said a few words to the officer, and the officer took her in as if she had seen a ghost, Ye Yi secretly screamed that it was not good, and turned around and went back to the hotel.
Ye Yi had just finished reporting the matter, and Jing Zhaoyin outside the door had already come to the outside of the hotel with a group of officials.
Ning Guanghuan hurriedly ordered someone to greet him, and soon the two sides met.
"King Jing, this official came this time, because there has been a new development in the case of the princess's poisoning, and I also ask King Jing and the princess to deign to go to the palace to hear the trial together!"
Ning Guanghuan frowned slightly, looked at Ye Yicai, who was standing on the side, and asked Jing Zhaoyin, "I don't know what the adults mean by the progress?" ”
"That's the case, today there is a seriously injured woman who claims to be the princess's personal maid, she bluntly said that she poisoned the princess herself, and asked the official to take her into prison, but if she is really the princess's maidservant, the official is not good to detain directly, so I came to invite the two to hear the trial together."
Ning Guanghuan was shocked when he heard this, how could Xiao Er be the one who poisoned him?
"Later, my lord, this king will go and call the royal sister to go with my lord."
As soon as Ning Guanghuan walked out of the hall, he collided with Ning Chuxi head-on, "Xi'er, why are you here?" ”
Ning Chuxi was a little anxious, "Second brother, I heard that Xiao'er went to surrender?" ”
"Well," Ning Guanghuan nodded, just wanted to comfort Ning Chuxi not to worry, but heard Ning Chuxi say: "She still has a conscience!" ”
"Huh?"
"Second brother, let's go to the mansion."
Go and listen to what she has to say, just now she was so angry that she didn't bother to ask about the poisoning, and she heard her say that she was being used, she wanted to see who was trying to take her life three times and twice!
It's just Xiaoer, she let her go because she wanted to let her go.
Plotting to kill the imperial family in Ningguo is to be divided by capital punishment! But she ......
Let's go see the situation first!
When Ning Chuxi and his party arrived at the lobby of the mansion, Xiao Er was kneeling in the middle of the house, the dress on her abdomen had been stained red with blood, her face was pale, and her whole body trembled, as if she would fall down in the next second.
But when she saw Ning Chuxi kneeling straight again, looking ahead, her eyes were firm.
Ning Guanghuan and Ning Chuxi sat down under the hall, and Jing Zhaoyin picked up the shocking wood, "Smack!" ”
"Who's on your knees!" Jing Zhao Yin asked loudly.
"The slave Xiao'er is the personal maid of Princess Ning of Ningguo."
Jing Zhaoyin looked at Ning Chuxi, Ning Chuxi nodded, and the interrogation continued.
"Today you turned yourself in, saying that you were the one who poisoned you, but is there such a thing?"
"It's the maidservant himself!"
"In that case, you will tell you the details of the poisoning."
"My lord, here's the thing...... Xiao Er told all the things about how he and Du Ruoxian were poisoned by hiding from the world, including the assassination of the hotel last night.
She lost too much blood, her lips were a little pale, and her words kept shocking everyone.
Outside the hall, many people gathered to watch the excitement, and they all pointed and pointed after listening. One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, in less than an hour, the matter of the maidservant of Princess Ningguo colluding with the son of Du Shilang's Mansion to poison Princess Ningguo has spread throughout Anjing.
Even the people in the Guogong Mansion heard about it, and the truth was finally revealed, but Qingyu was not very happy, she had long suspected Xiao'er, and she was not surprised by this result.
And if this happened, Ning Chuxi must be very sad.
And Ning Chuxi inquired about Xiao Er's words, and was already stunned on the spot.
For a moment, Ning Chuxi felt that she had done something wrong, she kept saying that she regarded Xiao'er as a sister, but she didn't even know when she knew Du Ruoxian or even had a personal relationship with him.
"Someone! Take the prisoner down! Jing Zhaoyin instructed, and the two classes of officials had to step forward to escort Xiao'er away.
"Stop!" Ning Chuxi shouted, "Xiao Er is from Ningguo, even if she makes a mistake, it should be dealt with by me Ningguo, and please hand her over to me." ”
"This," Jing Zhaoyin was embarrassed: "This is not in accordance with the rules, after all, the princess is in Dajin, and the envoys of your country have ...... many times before I am also quite anxious to catch the person who poisoned him, and this prisoner also came to the government to surrender himself, and now the case needs to continue to be verified, and it is better for the person to be detained by us. ”
Ning Chuxi naturally knew that he was talking about what Song Xu had embarrassed many times before, and he was a little surprised for a while.
Seeing this, Xiao Er said: "Princess, Xiao Er is willing to stay here to be judged, princess don't bother about slaves and maids anymore!" ”
"Little ......"
"Xi'er, what Lord Jing Zhaoyin said is reasonable."
Ning Guanghuan pulled Ning Chuxi, who was still about to speak, behind him, and said to Jing Zhaoyin: "My lord, the person will be handed over to you, I will say goodbye." ”
After Jing Zhaoyin said goodbye to Ning Guanghuan and Ning Chuxi, he changed into official clothes and entered the palace, the matter involved Du Ruoxian, and it was no longer something he could handle.
In the court, the matter of Du Ruoxian's treason has been basically determined, but the arrival of Jing Zhaoyin has pushed the ** for today's court meeting.
Emperor Hong'an was furious when he heard that Du Ruoxian was also involved in the poisoning of Princess Ningguo, and immediately ordered Du Ruoxian to be executed.
And Du Ruoxian's crimes accumulated to his family, and the northern border defense map that he simply gave to Da Yue's spy had been replaced by Jiang Yu in advance, without causing substantial damage, and the treason was done by Du Ruoxian alone, so everyone in Du Mansion was assigned to the frontier as labor.
And as the in-law of Du Mansion, although Wang Jingsong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was not implicated, he was no longer allowed to Hong'an Emperor's blue eyes, of course, this is a later story.
As for Xiao Er, because she is from Ningguo, the treatment of her still has to be discussed with Ningguo.
It's just unexpected that before the two countries had time to negotiate, news came from the prison: Xiao'er committed suicide.
It all started yesterday evening.
Xiao Er stayed quietly in her cell, which was cold, damp, and dirty, but she seemed to sit against the wall indifferently, covering her painful abdomen in a daze.
Outside the cell door, the two guards chatted idly.
"Phew, what a shame for our Dajin!"
"Who said it wasn't, but the Holy One was merciful, only killed him, and this Du family didn't know which life they had fallen into, how could they raise such a wolf-hearted thing!"
Du family, Xiao Er's face moved slightly, and he listened attentively.
I only heard one of the officials continue: "And that Du dog thief is still plotting with this princess of Ningguo in our prison, it is really bold. ”
"At the beginning, Miss Lin Si was unjustly imprisoned, not to mention how arrogant the envoys of the Ning Kingdom were, and they were bent on forcing the Holy Lord to execute the Fourth Miss, now that the truth is revealed, it is really difficult to prevent thieves day and night, and tomorrow I want to see what face the envoys of the Ning Kingdom have to discuss this matter!"
"That's it, it's ......"
The sound in the distance reached Xiao Er's ears, and Xiao Er raised his hand to wipe his tears, thinking about what he had just heard.
Isn't this the result she wants, she came to the palace to surrender because she was ashamed of the princess, and even more because she wanted to punish the negative man.
She said that if he lied to her again, she would not spare him!
It's good to die together like this, at least everyone won't be lonely......
In fact, it was never Du Ruoxian who deceived her, it was herself, she knew that it was a scam, but she still drilled into it without hesitation, in the final analysis, she couldn't live because of her own sin......
Xiao Er took off the silver hairpin on her head, the hairpin was gone, and she searched inside and outside the house several times but couldn't find it.
Originally, she had given up, but for some reason she suddenly appeared under the table in her room, and the joy of her loss overcame her doubts.
Xiao Er inserted the hairpin into his chest without hesitation, and immediately the blood flowed and it hurt, but Xiao Er did not regret it.
Scenes kept emerging before her eyes.
It was on Deming Street in Anjing, and a little girl in a hurry was anxious, and she kept shouting: "Stop, give me back the money bag!" ”
