Chapter 438: Biological Mother
Mrs. Chi and Magpie insisted that the ointment was not given to her by Xie Jingchen and Su Jin.
The old lady didn't hesitate.
Although she was sure that the ointment was Mrs. Chi's.
But what can she do?
There's no reason to believe in a mother-in-law and not Mrs. Chi, right?
Su Jin counter-attacked the old lady and killed her helplessly.
The quiet pin drop could be heard in the room.
Mrs. Chi threw the pot to Li's mother.
The old lady could only continue to interrogate Li's mother.
However, Mother Li had already recruited everything when she was cool in the well.
The re-interrogation undoubtedly forced her to lie.
"Did someone instruct you to do this?!" The old lady asked.
Su Jin's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
The old lady is trying to trick Li's mother to identify Mrs. Chi and drag her into the water.
As long as Mother Li confessed that Mrs. Chi asked her to do this, the old lady would be able to drag this unfavored concubine out and beat her.
Mother Li reacted, pointed at Mrs. Chi and said, "Madam asked me to do this!" β
Su Jin sneered.
"Did Mrs. Chi ask you to give the ointment to Green Sleeves?" Su Jin asked with a smile.
"Mrs. Chi and Green Sleeves can't fight, there is no injustice or hatred, what does she want you to send ointment to Green Sleeves?"
"This box of ointment is enough to buy a hundred green sleeves."
"The Zhenbei Wangfu is so big, there are so many ancient wells, it's easy to kill a maid, and it's too stupid to send poisoned ointment."
"What's more, this ointment will not kill people in a short period of time, if Mrs. Chi can't think about it, she won't need to seek death in such a roundabout way."
"Take a step back, there are only three people in Qingqiu Yuan, Mrs. Chi hasn't taken half a step out of the palace for many years, when was the last time the magpie came out of the palace?"
The magpie hurriedly said, "It's the time of the New Year." β
Poor little maid.
It's been half a year since I left the house last time.
"If it was really Mrs. Chi who instructed Mother Li to poison it, then this poison must have been bought back by Mother Li," Su Jin said.
"Drag it out and blame it, and you will definitely be able to interrogate where you bought the poison."
The second lady sat there and listened.
Listening to Su Jin's words, she knew that the old lady fell into the sinkhole dug by the princess and couldn't get out.
The pit is very large, and there is still silt in it.
Struggling will only sink you deeper and deeper.
Besides, who is so stupid to enter this room.
When it comes to this, fools know what's going on.
The second wife never thought that the high-ranking old lady would also be like a clown jumping off the beam.
What's even more puzzling is that she stole the ointment or gave it to the eldest girl of Yongcheng Bofu.
Even if Yong Chengbo saved her at the beginning, but after so many years, the old lady has already paid off his kindness for his promotion.
Yongcheng Bo He De how could he let the old lady not hesitate to steal the ointment of a concubine to help his daughter treat his daughter's scalded hands.
Especially-
This ointment is still taken from the tiger mouth of the lord of Nanzhang.
However, this move also prevented a disaster for the lord of Nanzhang County.
But such an unbelievable approach cannot but make people curious about the purpose of the old lady's doing.
β¦β¦
Nan'an Palace, in front of the door.
The prince rode his horse and stopped.
He went to the palace of the king of Nan'an to look for the king of Nan'an, but he didn't see anyone, so he came to the palace of the king of Nan'an to look for it.
When the little servants in the Nan'an Palace's mansion saw the prince coming, they were all worried that they were dazzled.
Master Xie received the decree to be crowned king today, and the princess was busy preparing a congratulatory gift to congratulate her, but she didn't know whether she should go in person.
The lord of Nanzhang is the head of the Zhenbei Palace, but she was named a side concubine.
For her, it was no happy event.
When the princess went to congratulate her, she would not be happy.
But if you don't go, you don't pay enough attention to it.
Therefore, Princess Nan'an decided to bypass the lord of Nanzhang and directly say hello to the old lady, and her son will be crowned king, and she must be happy to be a mother.
I didn't pick the right one.
This is not Princess Nan'an took a soft sedan chair to buy ginseng in the street.
Within a quarter of an hour of leaving, the king of Zhenbei came to the palace of the king of Nan'an.
I'm in such a hurry to come to Nan'an Palace, I don't know what is urgent?
The little guy came back from his stunned and greeted him and said, "I've seen the king of Zhenbei." β
"Can the king of Nan'an be in the mansion?" The prince asked.
He did not dismount.
The little servant hurriedly said, "My lord is here." β
Only then did the prince turn over and dismount and step into the Nan'an Palace.
Inside the study.
King Nan'an wiped the selected sheep fat jade bottle, put it in the brocade box, and picked two more calligraphy and paintings.
This congratulatory gift is neither heavy nor light, just right.
Just after I was busy, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by an urgent call from the little guy, "Lord Wang, the king of Zhenbei is here." β
King Nan'an was shocked, and he really didn't react to who the king of Zhenbei was.
When he reacted, his brows twisted into twists.
Why did Brother Xie come to him first?
Don't let something big happen.
King Nan'an hurriedly went out to greet him, and as soon as he came out of the study, he saw King Zhenbei coming over.
"I was about to congratulate Brother Xie and visit the old prince by the way, why did I come first?" Nan'an Royal Road.
"But what happened?" His eyes were worried.
The prince looked at him and said, "There is something, come and ask you." β
"What's the matter?" King Nan'an was curious.
"Come into the study and talk."
The king of Nan'an invited the prince into the study.
When he entered the door, he noticed that the prince was holding a painting in his hand.
After entering the study, the prince didn't say hello, opened the painting directly, and asked, "I heard Yong Chengbo say, the people in the Nan'an Palace's palace are looking for the person in the painting?" β
Is it for this?
King Nan'an's heart instantly let go when he mentioned his throat.
He smiled, "I did send someone to find the person in the painting, Feng'er followed Dongxiang Hou to Liangzhou to suppress bandits before asking me to help him find a friend's mother, saying that it was a very important friend, so I must be interested." β
"I sent someone to look for it for more than half a month, but there was no news."
"Chen'er also asked the prince to help find it?" King Nan'an said with a smile.
After saying that, he felt that something was not quite right.
The king of Zhenbei has just returned to Beijing, and with such a major event as the king of the king, the prince of Zhenbei should not be so ignorant.
And not only asked him to help find it, but also asked the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion and the Dingguo Mansion to be.
If they can't find it, adding another Zhenbei Wangfu won't help.
When he first saw this painting, he felt that it was faintly familiar.
Now that I think about itβ
This style of painting is very similar to Brother Xie when he was young.
It's just that Brother Xie encountered a lot of things later, his temperament changed a lot, and his painting style changed a lot, and he didn't think about it for a while.
He looked at the prince and said with surprise, "Could it be that the person in this painting is Chen'er's...... Mother? β
The prince didn't speak.
He didn't admit it, he didn't deny it.
He's wandering.
He was wondering where Xie Jingchen got this painting.
How could he have thought he could find her in Kyoto?
If he could, how could he not look for it?
The prince was distracted, and it was inconvenient for the king of Nan'an to disturb him.
When the painting was sent before, he and Princess Nan'an mistakenly thought that the person in the painting was the person who the king of Nan'an County wanted.
Princess Nan'an married the king of Nan'an County and didn't want to help find it.
Later, on the mahjong table, Mrs. Yasukuni first mentioned the portrait.
Not only Princess Nan'an, but also Mrs. Yasukuni also thinks so.
They can't all fall in love with the same girl, right?
That's when I started to help find someone.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a knock on the door.
"Lord Wang, the prince is here!"
