Chapter 411: Peeling Back the Cocoon

Princess Fuqing covered her mouth, her face as pale as snow.

The queen was not as good as Princess Fuqing's performance, she was shaky after listening to Yu Jin's words, and she was supported by the palace maid on the side so that she did not fall.

The faces of the crowd were even more colorful.

If that cup of poisonous wine belonged to Princess Fuqing, wouldn't it mean that the murderer was originally going to poison Princess Fuqing, and the fifteenth princess was a substitute for the dead ghost?

The woman in the palace costume who caressed the body of the fifteenth princess and suppressed the crying burst into tears when she heard the words.

"Shut up and listen to what Lao Qi has to say!" Emperor Jingming shouted, and the audience was immediately silenced.

Yu Jin's eyes moved to Princess Fuqing: "If you don't take it seriously, just ask Princess Fuqing." Fuqing, do you have any impression of the fifteenth princess drinking? ”

Princess Fuqing tried her best to maintain her composure, and recalled for a moment: "When the fifteenth sister talked to me, she was indeed holding the plum wine offered by the palace maid and drinking. ”

"And do you have an impression of her holding your glass?"

Princess Fuqing shook her head: "I'll turn around first, and the fifteenth sister will follow, so I didn't pay attention to how the wine glass in the fifteenth sister's hand came from." ”

"I have one more question." Yu Jin's tone became more and more light, but it aroused the hearts of everyone present.

"Brother Seven, please speak."

"Why did the thirteenth sister give up the wine in front of her, and ask for a hundred flowers from the palace maid?"

"King Yan, what do you mean!" The Queen's Mask Frost asked.

Emperor Jingming waved his hand: "Empress, listen to Lao Qi." ”

The queen pursed her lips and stared at Yu Jin closely.

Yu Jin's face did not change, and he was not affected by the queen's attitude in the slightest: "The queen mother doesn't have to be careful, since it is an investigation, no matter what the identity of the other party is, these questions must be asked, and I think Princess Fuqing doesn't want the fifteenth princess to die unclear." ”

Without waiting for the queen to speak, Princess Fuqing said: "Seventh brother, you are right, you can't let the fifteenth sister go unclear." ”

She said and looked at Jiang Yi, her eyes sad and soft: "The reason why I didn't use the wine glass in front of me, but took the hundred flowers, was because I felt that it was not sincere enough to use fruit wine to toast the seventh sister-in-law, so I abandoned the plum wine and took the hundred flowers......"

As soon as Princess Fuqing said this, the emperor's eyes looking at Jiang suddenly changed.

The queen had indescribable gratitude in her eyes, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, I am afraid that she would have to pull Jiang as if she was thanking her.

Thank God, if it weren't for Princess Yan, Fuqing would definitely have an accident today!

Emperor Jingming looked at Jiang even more pleasing to the eye.

Although the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, how can there be more meat on the back of his hands than in his palms, and in his heart, of course, Princess Fuqing is heavier.

The seventh daughter-in-law saved Fuqing's life!

His only princess has been blind for so many years, if it is okay because he insists on holding a palace banquet and has an accident, then he will probably live in guilt for the rest of his life.

"Fifteenth sister...... Did you die for me? Princess Fuqing muttered.

Yu Jin's tone turned soft: "That's not the princess's fault, you and the fifteenth princess are both victims, and the murderer is crazy." ”

Tears flowed down the corners of Princess Fuqing's eyes, and her expression was resolute: "Seventh brother, please find out the murderer!" ”

Looking at Yu Jin's calm performance, Emperor Jingming nodded secretly and asked, "Old Seven, what else do you think?" ”

"Father, my son feels that the top priority is to find the palace maid who served the cup of poisoned wine."

Emperor Jingming swept towards the empress.

The queen immediately asked the female official in charge of today's palace banquet.

Any detail of this kind of banquet must be taken into account, and which palace maids are in charge of which table is arranged in advance.

The female official is a steady and sophisticated person, and after a little thought, she immediately pointed out the six palace maids who were in charge of the princesses' table.

Seeing the six palace maids kneeling in a row, Yu Jin asked, "Who served Princess Fuqing's wine?" ”

The six palace maids trembled like chaff, and no one dared to say anything.

The queen hated: "If no one speaks, pull them out and give a glass of poisoned wine!" ”

Her Fuqing was almost killed!

Why is this, Fuqing is so well-behaved and sensible, but he has suffered bad luck since he was a child, and now he finally got better and almost died......

Thinking of this, the queen felt hatred and anger in her heart.

The six palace maids still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Yu Jin hooked the corners of his lips.

It is not surprising that no one dared to come forward.

Regardless of whether the palace maid was the one who poisoned Princess Fuqing or not, since she served that cup of poisoned wine, the death penalty was already inevitable.

In the face of death, even if there is no possibility of dodging, the later the better.

"It's okay not to say it, now start with the person on the far left, and report the names of the people before and after you when the wine was served." Yu Jin looked at the six palace maids condescendingly, and his tone was indifferent, "Those who hesitate will be dragged out immediately!" ”

The palace maid on the far left trembled and said the names of the palace maids before and after, so that the fourth person suddenly got stuck after saying the name of the harem maid.

"Slave and maid ahead...... Front ......"

"Say, who's ahead of you?" Yu Jin asked coldly.

The palace maid finally collapsed, crying and admitting: "There is no one in front of the slave maid, it is the plum wine that the slave maid presented to Princess Fuqing......"

She knew that a great disaster was coming, and she collapsed to the ground after speaking.

The queen stared at the palace maid, and her hands trembled: "Cheap maid, why do you want to harm the princess?" ”

"Slaves don't! The queen mother, don't dare to harm the ......princess if you kill the slave maid," the palace maid explained hoarsely.

The queen stopped talking with a calm face, and looked at Yu Jin silently.

Even if it is really the poison under the palace maid in front of her, the palace maid is by no means the real murderer who harms the princess, and the queen understands this very well.

Obviously, Yu Jin's performance just now gave her some confidence in whether King Yan could find out the murderer.

At this time, an imperial doctor suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the ministers have found out what poison is in the fifteenth princess." ”

Emperor Jingming immediately asked: "What poison?" ”

"The poison in the fifteenth princess is the broken intestine grass, the roots and leaves of this grass are ground into powder and are very toxic, and a little entrance can make people poison and die in a very short time......"

As the imperial doctor spoke, everyone's faces changed and changed.

"You all stand up." Yu Jin walked around the six palace maids, and then asked the female official, "The palace maids who are in charge of serving at today's banquet must be carefully inspected, right?" ”

The female official said: "Yes, these palace maids have uniform hairstyles and dresses, and they need to bathe and change their clothes before entering the table, and all the things they are equipped with from beginning to end have been inspected, and they are not allowed to wear sachets and other things." ”

"So, there's no possibility that they're entrained?"

The female officer nodded affirmatively: "No way." ”

"Then this poison is either someone took advantage of the palace maid's unpreparedness, or waited for the palace maid to enter the palace and gave the poison to the palace maid. In other words, the murderer must be in the main hall! Yu said firmly.

The eldest princess of Rongyang sneered: "King Yan keeps claiming that the murderer is the princess of Fuqing, if the murderer is someone else, how can you be sure that the poisonous wine will be sent to the princess of Fuqing?" ”

Yu Jin smiled: "It's very simple. Since the palace maids are a team of several people in charge of different tables, the murderer can lock this team of palace maids. And the princesses respect Princess Fuqing at this table, and the first glass of wine will naturally be presented to Princess Fuqing, so that the murderer can of course be sure that the poisoned wine will be sent to Princess Fuqing. “

The eldest princess of Rongyang had nothing to say.
