Chapter 15: Uncovering the Real Culprit
Xiao Dai suddenly changed color, a little panicked, and originally wanted to expose the matter in front of everyone so that she could correct Ah Rong's little slut on the spot, but the matter reached His Royal Highness, and he could only swallow his anger for the time being. Besides, she was sent by the Jing Palace, and His Royal Highness had always favored her, so she didn't believe that His Highness would reproach her for a small slave.
"Your Highness, you can make the decision for Dai'er......" As soon as she saw Zhong Lixun, Mrs. Dai hurriedly stepped forward and cried and complained.
"Don't cry, I'll make the decision for you." Zhong Lixun sat high on the chair and helped her sit down distressedly.
In the room, Rong Caiyin, who was not in Ning Dai Pavilion, was there, standing quietly beside Zhong Lixun, and it was also the case that she and the kind-hearted Baguio passed on the murder of His Royal Highness Mrs. Xun and Mrs. Mei.
His Royal Highness had long known that Smoke and Mrs. Mei were the prince's meticulous work, but they just didn't move.
It's just that I suspect that this Ah Rong's identity is unknown, so I will keep her for the time being.
"Xun'er, did you find out that it was the poison of these two little slaves?" Zhong Lixun sat on the main seat of the main hall of the Yimei Palace, and his slender fingers lazily rested on the table, and he clasped it for a while, and the voice
"Back to Your Highness, it is exactly, the medicine given by these two little slaves to Sister Dai'er, and the physical evidence has been found." Mrs. Xun's eyes were filled with deep pity, "Poor sister Dai has such a beautiful face......
"Your Highness......" At this time, Miaolan crawled over, with tears in her big eyes, "It wasn't Sister Ah Rong who did it...... It's ......"
Before the word "I" could be spoken, Ah Rong interrupted her: "Madam, dare to ask Mrs. Dai what poison she is?"
Ah Rong looked directly at Mrs. Xun, showing his edge slightly. Mrs. Xun squinted her eyes, this little is not simple...... Then let her die clearly!
Mrs. Xun waved a golden silk handkerchief, and a doctor walked in and said to Zhong Lixun respectfully: "Your Highness, what Mrs. Dai is in is the poison of Angelica Angelica, and this poison is smeared on the top of the face to teach people to have red spots on their faces, and the appearance of the most serious ones is completely ruined."
After hearing "Bai Zhi", Ah Rong's heart moved, and he immediately replied: "Back to Your Highness, Bai Zhi is rare, and it is very easy to contaminate yourself, if the slave maid and Miaolan have used it, how can it be fine?"
"You little slut, you are so articulate," Mrs. Xun gritted her teeth and squinted, "Then you say, this pastry only passed through the hands of Miaolan's cheap maid, how can you explain it?" ”
"Your Highness, today my maidservant Wen Die, I saw Mrs. Mei's personal maid Amber sneakily into the back kitchen before the incident." Ah Rong has not yet defended, but Baguio on the side has opened her mouth, although she is afraid of this group of jackals, tigers and leopards, but she wants to return Ah Rong's innocence.
Wendie "pounced" and knelt on the ground: "The slave did see it."
"Your Highness...... Don't listen to them, this evidence is all there, how can it be fake? Mrs. Mei's face turned pale with fright, but she didn't expect the matter to be exposed, and she shot back again and again.
At this time, Luo Pei on the side knelt down eagerly: "Your Highness, the slave maid saw Ah Rong sneaking into the big kitchen!"
Xiao Tao also crawled over in fear: "Yes, the slave maid is the raccoon maid of the Huanyi Courtyard, and she has seen it with her own eyes!" It's Ah Rongtou's poison! ”
"Sister Luo Pei, how do you know? You weren't there when Miao Lan was punished! Ah Rong said firmly, "Why are we saying one side of the story, but Madame is not!?" ”
turned to irony Xiao Tao, who had always hated her: "Xiao Tao, will you send clothes to the kitchen?" You hated me when you were in the Huanyi Courtyard, and now you are actually making up such a false lie to deceive Your Highness and Madame! ”
Xiao Tao's face turned pale with fright, Luo Pei didn't know how to answer, and stumbled: "I, you ......"
"Shut up, bold, how can you speak here!" Mrs. Xun pointed to Liujin's nails and scolded Ah Rong angrily.
"Your Highness, I saw the poison of this 'Angelica Angelica' when I was a child, and there must be traces on the body of the person who poisoned it, as long as you search the body of the person present, you can find it immediately."
Zhong Lixun was like a tall superior, looking at all this coldly, Ah Rong knelt on the ground, and his beautiful little face was full of unyielding.
"You!" Mrs. Xun still wants to quibble.
Baguio fought back: "Sister Xun, don't you dare?"
"Xun'er...... It's not ......" Madame Xun suddenly looked nervous, "It's just that Your Highness ......"
"Just what?" Zhong Lixun's evil eyes were cold, and he asked her with an evil smile.
"Yin'er thinks it would be better to have a body search." Rong Caiyin, who was dressed in a goose yellow dress, stood slim on one side and whispered.
Zhong Lixun coldly ordered: "Hefeng, search your body."
"Yes, Your Highness." All the maids in the palace stood in rows, the moonlight was dim, but the lights were exceptionally bright, and they could be seen clearly.
He Feng was responsible for searching the small maids, and Qiushui was responsible for the body searches of the maids.
After a while, there was movement, and Qiu Shui grabbed Amber, who was afraid of Mrs. Mei's side, and said loudly: "Your Highness, Amber took the opportunity to escape."
"Bring it here." He Feng lifted Amber's sleeves, and red spots appeared on Amber's arms.
Everyone was shocked, and Lady Smoke, Lady Mei, Amber, and Luo Pei turned pale.
Xiao Dai couldn't help but be furious: "You, it's your ......"
Amber turned pale with fright, and immediately pointed to her master and confessed: "Yes, Mrs. asked me to do it...... Slaves don't have the guts...... Your Highness, Your Highness, spare the slaves......"
Mrs. Mei's eyes widened, and she scolded Amber angrily: "You eat things outside the grill......"
Amber was so frightened that she couldn't speak: "Slave, me, I ......"
Zhong Lixun's voice was cold: "Drag Amber, Luo Pei and Xiao Tao out and beat them to death, this is the fate of murdering the master, you all remember it for His Royal Highness."
Mrs. Xun had a pair of cold eyes, His Royal Highness really came out to administer justice for this criminal maid! After reading what King Jing said, it was true.
"Your Highness! - Your Highness spare your life! —Your Highness—" The screams of the three of them grew farther and farther away, and everyone was covered in a cold sweat.
At this time, Xiao Dai turned to ask Mrs. Mei angrily: "Sister Mei, why did you harm me?" As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Mrs. Mei.
"Sister Dai, I, I...... It's not me ......" Mrs. Mei, who has always been arrogant on weekdays, is now defeated, and her pair of bright eyes are full of panic.
Xiao Dai snorted coldly: "Sister Mei, who are you if it's not you?" I didn't expect you to hate me so much. Knowing that Lady Dai would not listen to her anymore, Madame Mei fell to the ground.
Suddenly, Mrs. Mei looked in the direction of Mrs. Xun, and then crawled over in despair: "Sister Xun, save me!" Help me! I don't want to leave the palace, and if I leave the palace, I won't be able to live......"
Mrs. Mei clung to Mrs. Xun's life-saving straw, and Mrs. Xun's face was extremely blue, and she pulled Hua Mei'er hard to hold her hand. Mrs. Xun's eyes were cold, and the words she said were like poisonous snakes gnawing at Hua Mei'er's heart: "Sister Mei, you still have to do the wrong thing yourself."
"You, you...... How can you be so ruthless? …… Don't you remember......" Hua Meier stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Xun's sleeve again, and was brushed away by Mrs. Xun.
"Sister, there are still old people in your family, right? It's better to recruit it, so that Your Highness can still treat your relatives well. After hearing this, she slowly let go of Mrs. Xun's hand and sat down on the ground, her eyes blank and empty.
Zhong Lixun's eyes were gloomy: "Qiushui, pass on my meaning."
"Mrs. Mei is domineering and vicious, and almost kills people. Nian has served me for a few years, and if she has merit, she will not hand it over to the government, but now she will take off her name, send someone to take off her gorgeous clothes, drive her out of the capital, and never return. ”
"The slave takes the command." Qiushui replied respectfully.
"Your Highness, Your Highness—the concubine is wrong, Your Highness—" Hua Mei'er was dragged out and shouted frantically.
"Your Highness, although this matter has nothing to do with these two maids, it is up to them to start the matter, so it's better not to stay in the mansion for this kind of person." Mrs. Xun pinched her throat and spoke, thinking that in the name of the palace, she pretended to persuade Zhong Lixun.
