Chapter 37: It's All True
Everyone gasped, the eldest lady was so good to the third miss on weekdays, how could the third miss be ruthless? The heart is truly made of stone.
"Little Peach, you have to think about it clearly, if you slander the girl, you have good fruit to eat." Hua Chengduan stood beside Ouyang Huaiyu, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the little girl who was prostrate on the ground.
Xiao Tao was frightened by his stern tone, and her voice trembled: "The prince has clearly checked, and everything the slave said is true."
Hearing that the trampled on her like this, Xia Zhixue's face was fine, but the sneer on the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious.
Seeing that she was still sitting calmly on the side, her face did not change at all, Ouyang Huaiyu praised in his heart, Taishan, who has become a big thing, will not change his color in front of him, so he can be calm.
"You said, my sister's poisoning is a dirty thing I did," Seeing that the master next to him had no intention of opening his mouth, Xia Zhixue wrapped the silk silk around his hand a few times, with mockery in his eyes, and asked: "Since this is the case, if I didn't do this, can you admit punishment?"
"I ......" The voice shrank, Xiao Tao didn't dare to look at Xia Zhixue's eyes, only lowered her head, and the mosquitoes were disturbing: "The slave and maid admit punishment."
"Very good," Xia Zhixue said gently, "In this way, I will feel at ease." If you slander me, you slander the Hou Mansion and slander my father, that is, my father is not strict in discipline, so that I regard human life as a mustard, and I am an out-and-out hypocrite! Speaking of the second half, his tone changed, he shook the silk silk fiercely, and slapped it on the coffee table next to the pear flower stool, with a solemn expression.
The girl is so eloquent, she will give Xiao Tao such a crime in three or two sentences. The girl who knelt down was shocked and appreciative of the girl's mother-in-law. If the girl next to her was like this, I am afraid that she would have been crying and shouting that she was framed by the villain, and she is worthy of being a person from the Hou Mansion, and she has the courage.
Xiao Tao just accepted the sobbing, and then she was so frightened that she cried: "Don't dare, the slave never dare."
"Girl," the lotus flower walked over from the west corridor, holding a newly filled soup woman in her hand, with a rose embroidery sleeve trimmed with gold wire, and handed it to Xia Zhixue: "It's windy outside, it's cold, the slave maid went to pour a new soup woman for the girl, hurry up and warm your hands." As she spoke, she took the half-cool one from her hand, and inadvertently patted the back of Xia Zhixue's hand twice with one hand.
Xia Zhixue saw the lotus flower and nodded with a light smile.
"Lord Wang," Xiao Tao mustered up the courage to speak again: "The slave maid really didn't say a word of nonsense, the third lady was still holding half a bag in her hand at that time, I don't believe you can search it."
The lotus took three steps and made two steps to step forward, and greeted him with a slap: "Presumptuous!" How noble is the girl, it is your turn to practice this little? You don't pee or you take a look at yourself if you're worthy! ”
This slap was really not light, and the left half of Xiao Tao's face immediately swelled.
"Lotus." Xia Zhixue's voice was lazy: "This is the palace, we are outsiders, don't overstep."
Ouyang Huaiyu understood what she meant now, but she was a foreigner, and she always had no status here, and she had to endure it if she was wronged, not like in the Hou Mansion, where the master was always oriented towards his family.
"What kind of outsiders are not outsiders," Ouyang Huaiyu raised his eyebrows: "You and I are both raised by our parents, and no one is more noble than the other."
This is not only for Xia Zhixue, but also for the people below, don't always think that you are a slave of the palace, one level higher than outsiders, and treat anyone harshly.
As soon as these words came out, the few people who didn't respect Xia Zhixue too much in the past panicked, lowered their heads even deeper, and just thought that the prince should not be investigated.
"Lord Wang," Xiao Tao always remembered the task given to her by Xia Zhiqiu: "The slave doesn't dare to lie."
"Don't dare to lie? Don't have to deceive the master? The lotus snorted coldly, and the prince was emboldened by the words just now: "You are not afraid of alarming God, there are five thunderstorms in the sky."
"Sister Lotus, I don't have to speak so ugly," they are all slaves, why are you arrogant, Xiao Tao just slapped her, and now the left side of her face is still faintly painful, and she can't help but feel resentful in her heart: "The slave just told the prince what she saw, but you did it like this, Xiao Tao knows that you are now favored by the girl, but you can't be so spicy, in front of the prince, dare to do so?"
is worthy of the maid in that room, who has learned her master's kung fu of reversing black and white. Xia Zhixue snorted coldly in her heart, covered the soup woman with her hands, leaned her shoulders against the wall behind her slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly: "What does the prince think?"
No matter how hard they make trouble, the serious master is here, he doesn't speak, and no one dares to act rashly.
Now you know to ask me? Ouyang Huaiyu was proud in his heart, and his speech was softer than before: "This matter is right is right, wrong is wrong, there is no other reason, the third sister only proved her innocence, and this king took the girl's tongue and fed it to the dog, and threw the body in the mass grave, so as to make this evil breath for the sister."
What he said was light and light, and Xiao Tao was chilled when he heard it.
"Hua Cheng," Xia Zhixue didn't move, only shouted.
"The minions are here." Hua Cheng walked to the front and bowed his head.
Xia Zhixue raised one arm, and the lotus flower immediately stepped forward to help the person stand up. Xia Zhixue said slowly as she walked, "I only ask you, where did you get this imperial doctor?"
"Back to the girl, when the little one was halfway there, I saw the little peach girl leading people to hurry to the palace, and she said that as soon as the eldest lady fell ill, she went to ask for a doctor." In 1510, Hua Cheng told her what he had encountered.
"So," Xia Zhixue nodded, walked over to the kneeling Xiao Tao, lowered one hand, and put it on her shoulder: "How did you get into the palace?"
"Yes...... I took the girl's sign. ”
His eyes were glued to her, and he pressed step by step: "What brand?"
"That's it...... It's what the girl usually mentioned to me, but the slave really didn't know, the situation was critical at the time, and I didn't think much about it, so I only took the most precious thing from the girl on weekdays and entered the palace. ”
"Then I'll ask you again, what about the brand?"
"Slave maid, slave maid is in a hurry, I don't know where I fell on the way back, tomorrow I will go to look for the girl." In the face of Xia Zhixue's questioning, Xiao Tao abbreviated her neck, and the hand she put on her shoulder invisibly put fatal pressure on her.
Xia Zhixue only understood, nodded, and smiled incomprehensibly: "Such a coincidence."
"What the slave said is true," Xiao Tao hurriedly said, looking at Ouyang Huaiyu, her eyes were red.
Ouyang Huaiyu already understood what was going on in his heart, so he only smiled faintly: "If it is not your fault, this king will punish the third sister."
Xia Zhixue refused to stop, and asked again: "Let's be the right to come from the palace, so I will ask you, what did you say to him on the way?"
Before the imperial doctor left, Xiao Tao was afraid to come to him for questioning, so he only said vaguely: "I just said that someone in the palace is sick and is in a hurry to seek medical treatment."
"That being the case, why did the imperial doctor blurt out that it was Miss Zhiqiu to my sister? He has never seen my face, so how can he know that I am with my sister? ”
"Perhaps...... Maybe I mentioned it to him when I came, but I just forgot. ”
