Chapter 40: Harming others ends up harming oneself
Pei Yao's action calmed down all the people present.
"Presumptuous!" Xiang Tao slapped the table first and got up suddenly, "Do you still have any rules!" ”
"Fourth girl, you ——!" Mother Liu went to help her master, and pointed at her to make a difficulty: "It's that Mrs. was worried about the sixth girl first, and hit you twice in anger, you can't be so rebellious!" Madame is also your mother-in-law no matter what she says! ”
Pei Yao snorted, took a leather whip, and rewarded the evil woman with a whip one after another, whipping her all over her face.
Xiang Tao became more and more angry, "Bastard thing! You can't do it when I'm dead! As he spoke, he stepped forward and snatched the whip from her hand, and was about to swing it at her.
"Father!" Pei Yaowei deliberately glanced at Xiao Di on the high seat, and he was also a fox and a fake tiger: "In front of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the father still wants to kill his daughter again?" ”
Hearing this, Xiang Tao's movements really paused in mid-air.
These whips fell, and it was good to get out of her half of her bad breath. Pei Yaowei calmed down at this time, took a step back, and knelt in front of Xiang Tao with the hem of her clothes neither humble nor arrogant: "Father Mingjian, Mrs. is a mother-in-law, if you are not happy, even if you give your daughter a meal for no reason, your daughter will only have the share of respect, and she will never dare to commit it." But now—"
Her eyes were cold, "Mrs. hurt my own mother, hurt my own sister, blood is thicker than water, since my father still retains his daughter's breath, my daughter can't turn a blind eye, and let the family bully her relatives in vain!" ”
"Four girls! How dare you slander Madame like this! Mother Liu was really loyal, ignoring the blood on her face, she knelt down in front of her head and said, "County Prince! The county magistrate, you are aware of it! It is obvious that the fourth girl poisoned the snacks for the sixth girl, which caused the sixth girl to be like this, and now she is not only guilty of disobedience, but also the wicked person sues first! Gun-gun! Thinking of the second son and the fifth girl, you must give your wife justice! ”
Mrs. Zuo was supported by the little maid, sitting on the side and sobbing incessantly, "County Prince, the fourth girl is out now, how to arrange the concubine, how dare the concubine say anything......"
"Okay!" Pei Yao smiled indignantly, "Madame said that I orchestrated you, and you, a lackey, also said that I poisoned you, so please take out the evidence and convince Xiang Yu!" ”
As soon as Liu's mother heard this, she came to her senses seriously, and when she saw Xiangtao's acquiescence, she hurriedly instructed the maid to bring things up.
After a while, all the melons and fruits in the Xiangyu room were presented to Xiangtao.
Mother Liu pointed to these things and said that the sixth girl ate these poisonous snacks in the fourth girl's room, so she couldn't afford to be poisoned.
Pei Yaowei glanced at it lightly and sneered.
Xiang Tao's eyes narrowed, and after a moment of silence, he invited Doctor He, who had not yet left, to come over.
"The doctor is smiling, the family is unfortunate, and I have to bother you again."
Imperial Doctor He bowed down and said that he didn't dare, and then examined these foods one by one.
"This ......" Imperial Physician He was puzzled: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Lord Jungong, these snacks are indeed without exception, and they have all been poisoned with the same poison as the six girls!" ”
Xiang Tao's face changed.
Mother Liu said excitedly: "County Lord, you heard it!" These snacks are all from the fourth girl's own room, who else could it be if it wasn't for her poisoning! ”
Xiang Tao asked Xiang Yu: "What else do you say?" ”
Pei Yao looked at Imperial Physician He unhurriedly: "Imperial Physician has seen it, is it true that all this food is poisonous?" ”
Imperial Physician He glanced at His Royal Highness the King of Chu and replied with difficulty.
Pei Yaowei smiled: "That's interesting." ”
"After passing through Madame's hands, all my food has become poisonous. But there is one thing that Madame may not know. She said: "My little sister came to me, although I entertained her with a table of snacks, but there were only two things for my little sister to enter." ”
"Unfortunately, neither of those two is among them."
Mrs. Zuo raised her head suddenly, and Mother Liu was both stiff.
"How so!" Mother Liu came back to her senses and yelled: "Don't be fooled by her!" As soon as the sixth girl had an accident, the old slave led people to rush in, and the food on that table was obviously here! How could something be missed! ”
The onlooker couldn't listen to it anymore, and sneered: "How can there be such a stupid person!" ”
In a short silence, Xiang Ying spoke: "As soon as the sixth girl had an accident, you led people in?" ”
He sneered: "You can predict the prophet, I expect that something will happen to the fourth sister when the time comes!" ”
Liu's mother seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Mrs. Zuo also broke out in a cold sweat and slid directly off the seat.
However, what Pei Yaowei said was not deceiving them.
She smiled indifferently and continued: "Father, my daughter is not nonsense, what is the truth, please pass Juan Niang over and ask!" ”
Before long, Juan Niang and Yu Xu entered together, carrying a square food box in their hands, placing it in front of Xiang Tao, and saluting respectfully.
Xiang Tao frowned, "What is this?" ”
Juan Niang said: "Yu Jungong, the six girls have eaten in the fourth girl's room today, and there are only these two things. At that time, as soon as the accident happened, the fourth girl saw that the sixth girl was poisoned, and someone inevitably did something from it, and then let the sixth girl suffer this in vain, and the fourth girl immediately asked the slave and the maid to seal these two things together. ”
"For most of the day, the two slaves and maids have been guarding this food box to ensure that no one has ever touched it!"
Xiang Tao took a deep breath, "Check!" ”
After another inspection, Imperial Physician He said, these three-layer jade belt cakes are clean and unhindered, but in this honey-stuffed plum, someone has been poisoned.
Juan Niang said: "County Prince, these three-layer jade belt cakes are from the fourth girl's room. But this honey-stuffed plum was made by Mrs. Huan herself, and she asked the slave maid to bring it over. Just ask a mother, how could she do this thing of poisoning her own daughter! It can be seen that someone planted it! ”
"The Princess!" When things got to this point, Mrs. Zuo was in a hurry, and she couldn't care about pretending to be pitiful anymore, "Their mother and daughter are complicit in harming the concubine!" The concubine is indisputable! ”
Liu's mother also said: "Yes, Jungong! This Juan Niang is Mrs. Huan's person, and Yu Xu is the confidant of the four girls, how can these two people trust the things that they have been guarding for most of the day? And how to make the evidence! ”
"You're wrong." A cold male voice sounded, and Xiang Ying said, "Yu Xu is my confidant." ”
Pei Yaowei looked at him quietly.
He explained to Xiang Tao: "Father, it was the son who was afraid that the fourth sister would be wronged, so when she first returned home in her early years, she secretly gave her the girl Yu Xu, these years, although Yu Xu was serving the fourth sister, but in the final analysis, she listened to her son's orders. This girl's words, the son believed, and was willing to vouch for her. ”
After the baby finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall.
Pei Yao said unhurriedly: "Father, who framed whom, now it is very clear. Even if the daughter really has the heart to poison, there is no reason why the poison can only be found in the things that Xiyuan has handled. As for who ordered the poison in the plum - father, don't you still believe in your mother's character? ”
Juan Niang also defended her master: "County Prince! I beg you to order a search of the West Garden! To prove my wife's innocence! ”
Everyone was waiting for the gun-lord's reaction.
Xiang Tao seemed to be extremely tired, sat back on the chair, and whispered out two words: "Slut ......"
His eyes closed slowly, not knowing whether to hide disappointment or anger.
Mrs. Zuo pounced and grabbed his legs, like grasping a life-saving straw, "County Lord...... Gun-...... The concubine knows that she is wrong, and the concubine is wrong! You forgive the concubine, for Yao'er's sake, you forgive the concubine, forgive the concubine this time! The concubine didn't dare anymore! ”
Pei Yao got up suddenly, forced forward, and pulled Mrs. Zuo's neck over with a hand: "You almost killed my little sister and made my mother heartbroken, but my father is bent on forgiving you, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is here, do you think I will let you go!" ”
"No, no...... It's not me, it's not me! Mrs. Zuo was frightened by the ruthlessness in her eyes, and suddenly remembered something, broke away from her, and pounced on Xiang Tao again: "County Prince! You call the shots for your concubine! Concubines are instigated! Be...... It's the Virgin! It's the concubine of the Queen Mother......"
'Smack——! ’
Before Mrs. Zuo finished speaking, she saw Xiang Tao suddenly open her eyes and slap her out.
"You poisonous woman! Dare to talk nonsense! ”
At the other end, Pei Yao changed her coercive and spicy look, took a step back, and gently brushed her clothes.
Xiao Di slowly took his eyes off her, and suddenly let out a long sigh.
He got up, embarrassed, and walked towards Xiang Tao: "Princess, you said that Mrs. Zun is suitable for talent, should this king have heard it, or did he not hear it?" ”
At the end of this farce, a pair of children failed to save Mrs. Zuo.
For the sake of the face of the Empress of Zhou, Xiang Tao couldn't give a wife, but she ordered the slaves close to her, led by Liu's mother, to be dragged out and killed. And Mrs. Zuo herself was confined to the West Garden and ordered not to go out for the rest of her life.
In addition, Mrs. Huan, who was originally a concubine, was promoted to a flat wife, and even with the status of a sister, she also changed from a concubine to a concubine.
On the way back to the house, in the Xuan car, Xianyu asked the master: "Your Royal Highness is helping the future princess so much today, isn't it really tempting?" ”
Xiao Di listened to her rather vigilant tone, and smiled lightly: "Don't like Xiang Xiang so much? ”
It's not that I don't like it. Instant Yu recalled all the things in Shicai Hall, and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart - why did that girl give birth to a face like Queen Pei!
She said, "The slave is for your sake! If you think about it, if you really have a heart for her, Cheng Rijia looks at her face, and it is inevitable that she will remember the old things! This most hated thing is so similar to the most loved one, how painful it is in your heart! ”
Xiao Di snorted, only reassuring her.
He said in his heart, his heart can't even beat, where can he move for others.
Late at night, Juan Niang came in from outside with medicine, and saw Mrs. Huan sleeping next to Fangshi's bed, and she was full of distress.
Pei Yaowei took the cloak to put on Mrs. Huan, and Juan Niang stepped forward and whispered: "Girl, it's too late, you've been busy all day, and you still have injuries on your body, go and rest!" There are slaves and maids here! ”
Although she was drugged and took Mr. Yiyuan's pills, it still hurt at this moment, so she didn't shirk it, but only instructed Juan Niang: "I'm in the warm pavilion, if there is anything here in Fangshi, please go and tell me immediately." ”
Juan Niang's voice responded, and Yu Zhi accompanied her to the warm pavilion.
"Girl, it's a great day!"
As soon as she entered the warm pavilion, Yu Zhi finally couldn't help it after suppressing her heart all night, and said to her with a radiant look: "You don't know, this day has been full of twists and turns, and the slaves and maids are scared to death!" Luckily, you're resourceful! Before Mrs. Liu and the others entered the door, they first asked Juan Niang and them to quietly hide out with the snacks used by the six girls, otherwise we would be the ones who couldn't argue today! ”
