Chapter 57: The Broken Magic Mirror
The flower hall is the only way for every palace maid, directly connecting the kitchen and the living room, and the fragments of the magic mirror are inlaid on the wall of the flower hall.
Under the fiery red light and shadow of the setting sun, the lenses shone with a burst of broken light like fish scales, and countless figures were reflected inside, all of them were the same person-panicked Yan'er.
Yan'er stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself from all angles, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like an ordinary mirror, with a layer of ancient mystery on the copper-colored mirror, like a pair of prying eyes, directly peeking into the depths of the soul.
Is this really a magic mirror? When she stretched out to touch, suddenly a whirlpool appeared on the mirror, and her eyes changed instantly, and she appeared in the mirror, wearing another dress, walking far away with a tray, and saw that no one took the opportunity to pour a packet of medicinal powder into the bowl......
Yan'er rubbed her eyes with her hands and watched again, and found that it was still the scene just now, so she wiped the mirror with her hands and continued to watch, and found that it still hadn't changed.
"Nope! It's not true, I don't want this, I don't want this......"
She turned pale with fright, and retreated, and then she ran back into the house like crazy, rummaged through the cabinets, found a sledgehammer, and rushed towards the magic mirror with it.
After a burst of smashing, the magic mirror became torn apart, and the fragments fell down in a sparse manner, but it could still illuminate countless her, holding the medicine!
"Ah......h
Her expression collapsed, her hands clasped her hair and let out a piercing scream, and after a high-pitched gasp in a decibel voice, her chest rose and turned her gaze to the ground, and she was surprised to find that the fragments on the ground were gone?
What's going on? The magic mirror on the wall is still intact and hanging in place? The picture reflected inside is not her holding a tray, but her with a sledgehammer in her hand in horror at the moment!
"Actually, this is just an ordinary mirror, not a fragment of a magic mirror, the picture in the mirror just now is just your own imagination. You take advantage of your fear, the more you are afraid that the magic mirror will shine on the footage of your poisoning, the more you will see these shots, as the so-called thief is a weak little brother, you yourself show the fox's tail. ”
Yuan Yuguo strode over, followed by Ao Qianchuan, Princess Yunxing and Pu Cao, everyone's expressions were surprised, but they couldn't believe the fact in front of them, this little palace maid who looked honest was the one who poisoned her.
Yan'er's lips trembled for a long time, and she said a sentence: "I just, I want to wipe this mirror when it looks dirty." ”
"You just panicked like you saw a ghost, and then ran to wipe the mirror with a sledgehammer, little brother?" Yuan Yuguo pressed towards her step by step, and then pinched his chin.
"Say! Are you a spy in the Moon Kingdom? Who sent you to the Nebula Temple? Okuchikawa shouted.
Yan'er was so frightened that she knelt down with a "plop", crying and explaining: "I'm just an ordinary little palace maid, I'm not a spy, I'm not a spy." ”
"Not a spy? Then you tell me who is the spy? Who told you to poison the princess? ”
"I don't know who the spy is, no one asked me to poison the princess, I just saw that the princess was wearing a mask all day long, and I was afraid that the princess's skin would be clogged, so I added a little beauty powder to the princess's medicine."
A cold knife landed on Yan'er's neck, and Pu Cao's expression was fierce, eager to seal her throat with a knife.
"Nonsense! I'll kill you if you don't tell the truth! ”
Princess Yunxing's expression was full of surprise, and she shook her head in distrust and said, "Yan'er, why is it you?" I've always been kind to you and take care of you, why do you still poison me? ”
In an instant, Yan'er burst into tears, remembering Princess Yunxing's kindness to her, her head slammed on the ground and hit the ground heavily.
"I'm sorry princess, I'm sorry princess, I'm a sinner, I gave the poison, I deserve death, I'm willing to die......"
"Why, Yan'er? Why are you hurting me? You speak, Yan'er! ”
"I ...... I ......." Yan'er trembled with fright, her eyes twitching back and forth.
"Are you a spy or not? Or did the spy instruct you to poison you? As long as you tell the mastermind behind it, you will be exempted from the death penalty. Okuchikawa lifted her collar and exclaimed.
"I ...... I am not a spy, nor did a spy instruct me to poison me. Once when the princess was dressing up, I accidentally saw the princess's face, and I was jealous of the princess's beauty, and I was jealous of the princess's nobility, because I had been trampled under my feet since I was a child, and I hated those who were on top, so I put poison into the food. ”
No one would believe this stupid reason, but Yuan Yuguo patiently asked, "What poison?" ”
"Crane top red, no, it's arsenic." Yan'er's eyes wandered.
"Where did you get the medicine?"
"I bought it at an out-of-palace pharmacy."
"Nonsense! You say that none of these reasons are valid! Is the mastermind behind the scenes Sha Mingli, he handed over the medicine to you, right? Yuan Yuguo's voice was an octave higher.
"There is no mastermind, I am all alone."
"Yan'er, don't think that I don't dare to kill you, if you don't say it, I'll kill you with one sword."
Before Pucao's knife was raised, blood flowed from the corner of Yan'er's mouth, and she bit her tongue and committed suicide in advance.
"Yan'er!"
Princess Yunxing's face was full of regret, and when she turned around, she didn't dare to look at Yan'er, who had already died, and said sadly: "Bury Yan'er well and send some silver to his family." ”
"I'm going to get the shaming gravel!" Pucao shouted with a knife.
"Yan'er didn't confess to anyone before she died, all this is just our speculation, what evidence do you have to catch Sha Mingli?" Okuchikawa said calmly.
"So what are we going to do? You can't poison it, that's it? ”
"Block the news of Yan'er's death, don't leak today's matter, and in addition, check Yan'er's identity to see if he is a spy."
Looking at the thin Yan'er on the ground, Yuan Yuguo felt sad with regret, this is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, if it will be a treasure in the hands of his parents in the 21st century, but now he has borne so much alone.
"I think Yan'er was just being used by the spies, and the spies threatened his family, and he had to give in, and those jewelry were all the rewards for her poisoning."
Speaking of jewelry, Okuchikawa remembered the package that Yan'er had dropped on the ground, and since he promised Yan'er to bring it to her mother, he would definitely do it.
"Princess, which of these jewels did you give to Yan'er? Please pick it out. ”
Princess Yunxing's hands trembled a little, she didn't dare to touch these jewels, she didn't dare to think about Yan'er's immature face.
Pu Cao picked out the bracelet given by the princess among the many jewelry, and the rest of the jewelry Ao Qianchuan watched one by one, all the jewelry in the palace will have a seal, and it is not difficult to find the source.
