Zhou Li'er was stunned, froze in place, her lips trembled for a moment, and then she spoke: "Grandmother Huang'......"

"Smack!" When she was still stunned, the Queen Mother slapped her again, so frightened that Mama Kong immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Niangniang is angry." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the room fell to their knees, and they didn't dare to gasp. Only Meng Xilan was still facing away from everyone, lying there motionless.

Zhou Li'er slapped her again, and suddenly felt that her eyes were black, her body was crooked, and she sat on the ground staggeringly.

Since she was a child, she has never been beaten like this by others, this is the first time, and the person who beat her is still her imperial grandmother.

The candlestick burned high, illuminating the room and shining slightly dazzlingly.

There will be people kneeling, people standing, everyone with different expressions, holding their breath, and the silence is frightening.

Meng Xilan sat on the bed with her clothes closed, her face still had undried tears, her eyes lowered slightly, and her curly long eyelashes cast a faint black shadow, covering the emotions in her eyes.

Suddenly, a worried voice sounded in her ears: "Queen Mother, the county lord has never done anything, she is innocent, please don't believe that girl's nonsense!" ”

Zhu Lu interjected at the right time: "No, the slave maid just listened to it really well. His Royal Highness the County Lord deliberately wanted to harm my young lady...... Mother, please be clear. ”

Indeed, now, it sounds really ironic to use the word "innocent" on Zhou Lier.

Zhou Li'er knelt on the ground, clenched her fists secretly, and the slap marks on her face were clearly visible.

She didn't understand, how could things have come to this? Suddenly, the imperial grandmother came and heard everything.

Her maidservant was also kneeling on the ground at this moment, her face was ashen, her head was bowed and she was speechless, and she seemed to have predicted the outcome of the matter in her heart.

"Shut up!" The queen was gloomy, glanced over, looked at Zhou Li'er, and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

In fact, the human and material evidence is there, and the truth of the matter is in front of her, but she wants Zhou Lier to admit it to herself, if she is willing to admit it, it may mean that she can still be saved.

Zhou Li'er bit her lower lip hard, her face turned a little pale, and she couldn't say a word.

"Or don't say it? That's a good ......" The Queen Mother made a cold face and pointed to Bai Ling, who was kneeling in the corner, "You say." ”

"Mother, the slave is guilty...... But the slave and maid are not intentional, and the slave and maid just dare not disobey the orders of His Royal Highness the county lord, so ...... That's what you do. The slave begged the county lord, but the county lord refused to do so. Bai Ling knelt on the ground and trembled, his face was already pale.

Zhou Lier's teeth chattered slightly, and she was already starting to feel scared.

Seeing that she was still hard-mouthed, the Queen Mother pointed to Jiao Changqing who was standing aside. "You go on."

Jiao Changqing's face was solemn, and he took a step forward and said, "Back to Niangniang's words, Weichen just checked it, and the spice is indeed poisonous." ”

To be honest, he's in a bad mood right now. I have always thought highly of myself, but I was "used" by a half-old child like this. Originally, he was just helping and being soft-hearted for a while, but as a result, he let himself be caught in such an open and secret fight...... It's not just a hassle anymore.

"Then why didn't you find out before?" The Queen Mother's tone changed, and she asked sternly.

Meng Xilan's eyelashes trembled slightly. I guess for self-preservation, he won't talk nonsense.

Jiao Changqing pondered for a moment before he said, "Weichen is incompetent. When Weichen diagnosed, he only took into account the girl's own weak body, but he did not think that someone deliberately poisoned her. ”

"Now, do you have a way to heal her?" The Queen Mother asked.

If Meng Xilan really has a good problem, it will be a big trouble.

Jiao Changqing's eyes changed, "As long as you find out the cause of the poisoning, you are very sure that you can cure Miss Meng." ”

She's fine, and he doesn't need to bother with anything.

This is not the first time Jiao Changqing has lied in his life, but it is the first time for others.

Listening to Jiao Changqing's words, Zhou Li'er was deeply stunned, and said suddenly: "Impossible! She has been poisoned for so long, how can she still be saved? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

The Queen Mother looked at her, her face was extremely ugly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhou Li'er fell down consciously, her eyes were panicked, and she blamed herself for why she didn't confess herself?

It was quiet for a while, until Meng Xilan's palms were damp with sweat, and the Queen Mother opened her mouth again: "Why do you do this?" The last thing in this world is to poison people. ”

Her tone was not hurried or heavy, but surprisingly flat, but behind that blandness, there was a bottomless anger.

"Imperial Grandmother...... It's not Li'er's fault, it's all Meng Xilan, it's all her. Zhou Li'er panicked.

"Dare to quibble!" The Queen Mother suddenly reprimanded angrily, causing everyone to be surprised, "You really disappointed the mourning family." According to the punishment in the palace, if you do such a shameless thing, you should be dragged out and beaten to death! ”

In the palace land, those who secretly hide poison will be executed immediately.

Zhou Li'er finally knew that she was afraid, stood up, staggered to the Queen Mother, and knelt down again: "Grandmother Huang, I am your granddaughter." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her coldly: "The prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people!" Mistakes are punished, and it is only right. ”

Zhou Li'er's eyes widened in fright, and she couldn't believe that the imperial grandmother, who had always loved her very much, could really be ruthless.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the eunuchs and palace maids in the house, Mama, including Jiao Changqing, all knelt down in unison.

"Niangniang, the county lord is young and ignorant, and he is confused for a while, I hope you will be gracious." Gonggong Lu was the first to speak.

The county lord is still the county lord in the end, how can he lose his life for a civilian girl? What's more, Meng Xilan is not dead yet, and everything can be handled as appropriate.

Gonggong Lu took the lead first, and the others also followed suit.

"Ignorance justifies? You can kill people casually. The Queen Mother seems to have made up her mind that she has to do it seriously.

Zhou Li'er seemed to have no strength, her limbs were weak, and she was so afraid that she cried out in fear: "Imperial grandmother, spare Li'er this time, this is all the idea of those minions, Li'er is really confused for a while." ”

Meng Xilan sat on the bed, kept her eyes down, listening to Zhou Li'er's whining cry, and suddenly felt harsh.

If you don't see the coffin, you don't shed tears, it's like her.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Li'er who was in tears, and in addition to anger, she also felt deep disgust.

"Mourner, ask you again, why did you poison you?"

It stands to reason that even if the children get along with each other, even if they are a little awkward and a little idle, no matter how much Zhou Lier is not tolerant, she will not have to make such a heavy hand.
