Chapter 43: Poisoning

Lian Xinxin said that this person was really rude, so he just lowered his head and didn't answer. Since she didn't keep the etiquette, she responded to her like this.

"Madame asks you, are you deaf or dumb!" Moon Bud's voice was shrill and harsh.

Lian Xin suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and said, "The princess is resting in the room, and she said that no one will be seen."

"Bold!" Yueya raised one hand high, and it was about to fall on the lotus heart, and the next moment she was clamped by someone and couldn't move, she was startled, and when she looked up, it was the princess who grabbed her hand.

"A concubine's maidservant, dare to make a big noise in the princess's territory, and beat people, this princess sees you as extremely bold!"

Before the words fell, he vigorously shook off Yue Ya's hand, Yue Ya staggered back a few steps, just now it was still aggressive, and at this moment she just shrank and hid behind Chen Su.

Gong Tianyao's eyes slowly moved from Yueya's body to Chen Su's face, and said coldly: "As a subordinate, you can't even manage yourself, let alone discipline the maids under your hands."

Chen Su's face turned pale, he glanced at Yueya viciously, turned around and raised his head to meet the gaze of Shanggong Tianyao: "The concubine is just here to ask the princess for peace, why is the princess so aggressive?"

"The person who instigated his maid to beat this princess, you still dare to say that I am aggressive?" Gong Tianyao's eyes were cold, Chen Su felt that he was at a loss, so he vented all his grievances on Yueya, and shouted with a side face: "Yueya, don't kneel down yet, apologize to your sister Lianxin!"

Yue Ya shrank for a moment, shrugged her shoulders and walked up slowly to kneel, Gong Tianyao looked at it coldly, and said quietly: "Kneel, go back to your own courtyard and kneel, you maid, you have to teach a good lesson, don't be an eyesore here with this princess, go out!"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the house with a lotus heart, leaving only Chen Su, who was pale, standing in the courtyard with a maid, a mouthful of silver teeth creaking, fists clenched, nails deeply sunk into the palms, a pair of slender and white hand joints turned white, and slowly squeezed out three words from between the teeth: "Let's go!"

She left with the moon bud like a gust of wind, the people in the Zhuyin Courtyard were used to watching people's jokes, and as soon as Chen Su left, they laughed and ridiculed without any scruples.

"Mrs. Chen is really stealing chickens and rice this time, relying on the favor of the prince, dare to come to us to show off her might, fortunately, the princess is very powerful, and she has been embarrassed, otherwise she really thinks she is a character!"

Everyone was talking about it, but the loudest one who shouted was the most attentive in front of Chen Su just now.

Seeing this scene, Lianxin put down the window screen and walked to Gong Tianyao's side, and asked with some concern: "Princess, Mrs. Chen will never give up like this, what should we do next?"

Gong Tianyao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said in a calm and restrained voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on her, and come in and report as soon as there is any disturbance over there."

Lianxin bowed her head, slowly retreated, and went to do something according to Gong Tianyao's instructions.

The first two days were fine, but on the third day, Chen Su couldn't bear it.

One day, Mingyue came to deliver a message, saying that Yueya went out of the house to buy a bag of things at night, and acted sneakily, but she happened to be seen by her at night, so she secretly hid in the shadows, and saw Yueya carrying the bag into Chen Su's house.

Gong Tianyao frowned and thought for a while when she heard this, if she hid it like this, there must be something strange about that bag, so she instructed Lian Xindao: "During this time, you must be careful, pay more attention to food and drink, and don't let those who have ghosts in their hearts have a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Lian Xin nodded solemnly and said that she had written it down, and as she was talking, Xiaoqing outside came in and said that Mother Liu from the kitchen came over and sent a bowl of ginseng soup to the princess.

Gong Tianyao and Lianxin glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that Cao arrived, she straightened her face and walked out pretending to be unnoticed.

The surnamed Liu was waiting in the courtyard with a tray in his hand, and when he saw the princess coming out, he immediately squeezed out a smile on his face and flattered: "Princess, this is the ginseng soup that the prince ordered the slave maid to make for you." ”

There was a 180-degree change in attitude from before, Lian Xin silently stepped forward to take the bowl from her hand, and presented it to Gong Tianyao, Mother Liu still had a sneer, and encouraged on the side: "It seems that the princess still remembers the princess, and it won't be good if the princess drinks it quickly." ”

Gong Tianyao took the bowl, looked at the bowl of still steaming ginseng soup for a few moments, put the bowl back on the tray, looked up at Mother Liu, and said coldly: "This princess has no appetite now." ”

Mother Liu was stunned, and her face was a little sneering, thinking that the princess was still thinking about the quarrel between her and Lianxin a few days ago, so she didn't dare to say much, but lowered her head and wanted to retreat.

"Mother Liu, don't be in a hurry to leave, the princess still has something to ask you." Lianxin stood back, blocking Liu's mother's way.

"Xiaoqing, go and invite the prince and Steward Zhao to come over. Cui'er, invite one of the doctors in the palace to come over. Mother Wu, call Mingyue from Chen's courtyard. ”

Gong Tianyao arranged it in an orderly manner, and Mother Liu looked suspicious, not knowing what had happened.

Song Zhao and Steward Zhao soon arrived, and the doctor invited by Cui'er also followed, and after saluting, Lianxin handed the bowl of ginseng soup to the doctor for inspection, and after the doctor verified, his face couldn't help but change.

Gong Tianyao asked, "Doctor, tell me, is there a problem with this bowl of ginseng soup?" ”

"Back to the princess's words" The doctor pondered for a long time before saying: "This bowl of ginseng soup is highly poisonous, which is a tonic that nourishes and nourishes qi, and it is obviously a poison that kills people!" ”

As if expected, Gong Tianyao turned to Song Zhao, and her voice was calm: "Mother Liu said that this bowl of ginseng soup was sent by the prince with her, and the concubine wants to ask the prince, is there such a thing?" ”

Song Zhao's face was gloomy, staring coldly at the bowl of poisonous ginseng soup, and Steward Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "The prince has been working in the study all day today, and he has never even stepped out of the door, and he has indeed never ordered the kitchen to bring soup to the princess. ”

"Oh?" Gong Tianyao turned to Mother Liu: "Then what did Mother Liu say?" ”

Mother Liu was so frightened that her face was pale, and when she heard the princess ask her, she knelt down and kowtowed: "The princess spares her life, the slave really doesn't know about this matter, it was someone else who came over to spread the word to the slave to prepare an extra bowl for the princess to send to the princess, the slave is really wronged!" ”

"So, didn't you get this poison?" Gong Tianyao asked calmly, and Mother Liu shook her head like a rattle: "Even if you borrow a hundred or a thousand guts from a slave, a slave can't do this kind of heinous thing that murders the master!" ”

"This decoction was made by you with your own hands, and you brought it with your own hands, it wasn't poisoned by you, so who would have given it?" Gong Tianyao guided her step by step.

Liu Mazi was stunned for a moment, trying to recall how things happened, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, her expression was abrupt, and she immediately said loudly: "It's Yueya, it must be her!" ”
