Chapter 15: Face to face
Ye Fuyun's food, clothing and daily life are all in charge of Xiaoxue, and she is the most suspicious when the source of the poison is found. When she was distressed that Mu Xi and Ye Fuyun were getting closer and closer, she was twisted by the guards and sent to the dark room, she didn't know what was going on, so she was taken to the dark room and tied up.
Just when she was yelling anxiously, Zuo Yang walked in with a gloomy face, Xiao Xue was about to ask him for help, but seeing his eyes looking at her as if she was looking at a dead person, she shuddered, and her tone became pleading: "Steward Zuo, did Xiao Xue do something wrong, but Xiao Xue doesn't know what she did wrong, can you tell the slave?" ”
Zuo Yang sneered: "I don't know what I did wrong, so tell me, who asked you to put Dong Jin and Yang Xuzi in the prince's house?" Who asked you to arrange wild ginseng, cold melon, these yin and yang warm and cool foods for the prince to eat every day? ”
"Dong Jinyang's false son? Wild ginseng and cold melon? What's wrong with these? Five years ago, the prince returned to the capital, the slave maid arranged the prince's room in this way, the prince was exposed to the wind and sun at the border all the year round, wild ginseng nourished, cold melon is just an ordinary dish, the cook made a lot of tricks, the prince also likes it, so the kitchen will prepare cold melon, often made for the prince to eat. Butler Zuo, it's been fine for five years, why do you suddenly say that there is a problem now? ”
Xiaoxue's words made the corners of Zuo Butler's forehead bruise, this girl is either meticulous or used, five years, it is really enough to be thoughtful. Such a coincidence, he definitely didn't believe that Xiaoxue came up with it herself, it must have been instigated by someone.
This girl has no sense of caution at all now, and is still there to protect the people behind the scenes, he whipped down angrily, and asked sharply: "Say, who asked you to arrange the prince's living like this five years ago?" ”
Zuoyang is nominally the housekeeper of the Night King's Mansion, but in fact he is the commander of the dark guard, and he is excellent in martial arts. She looked weakly at the furious Zuoyang, enduring the pain in her body, but her mind was carefully recalling what he had just said.
She also heard that the prince was poisoned before, Zuo Yang was secretly tracking down the details, he grabbed the plants and food in the prince's room today, there must be something wrong with these things.
These are all ordinary things, and no one has said that they are poisonous for five years, and after that Mu Xi came, everything changed. She must have known that she liked the prince, so she came up with such a poisonous plan to harm herself, a vicious woman.
"Zo... Butler... Don't listen to others and misunderstand slaves... Slaves... How could a slave harm the prince's mind, slave and maid... No one knows the mind of the slave and maid, but you should also know the housekeeper......"
Xiao Xue finished her sentence with difficulty, and sweat was already oozing from her forehead. Seeing that her little face was pale, Zuo Yang was also a little unbearable, but thinking that the prince was almost killed by her, she still refused to say who instructed her, and his sympathy was also exhausted.
raised the whip again and whipped her three times in a row, Xiaoxue couldn't help but faint in pain, he ordered someone to bring cold water, and shined on her head without pity, from top to bottom, splashing her with cold water.
Xiao Xue woke up slowly, and seeing that Steward Zuo was about to whip herself and ask questions, she said: "Steward Zuo, since Miss Mu said that the slave maid harmed the prince, then, let her ask the slave maid herself." Today, you... Even if you kill the slave, the slave won't tell you who it was five years ago... Teach slaves and maids to do this..."
After saying that, Xiaoxue looked like she loved everything, and even if Zuoyang wanted to whip her again, the whip couldn't be raised. This girl is determined to see Mu Xi, he can't beat her to death, and finding out the mastermind behind the scenes is the most important thing.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, since you don't repent, then I'll let you see Miss Mu and convince you." If you still remember that the prince saved your life back then, then don't protect the person who murdered the prince. Hum! ”
Zuo Yang flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked out of the dark room, found Mu Xi and told her Xiaoxue's request, Mu Xi was a little puzzled, why did Xiaoxue have to see herself? However, she still agreed to see Xiaoxue, Zuo Yang was happy, and did not forget to tell Mu Xi, and said: "Miss Mu, that girl doesn't know why she is so protective of the people behind the scenes, you have to find a way to let her say it later, otherwise that person will be very unfavorable to the prince in the dark." ”
Mu Xi also knew the importance of this matter, nodded and replied, "I'll do my best." ”
At present, I don't know what Xiaoxue wants to see her for, whether she can ask the person behind the curtain from her mouth, she is not sure at the moment.
When he came to the dark room, when he saw Xiaoxue who was embarrassed and covered in bruises, Mu Xi was a little surprised, looked back at Zuo Yang and asked, "Did you beat her?" ”
Xiaoxue sneered and snorted: "Don't cry and fake mercy, isn't this the result you want?" ”
Zuo Yang shouted: "Presumptuous, who allowed you to talk to Miss Mu like this..."
Mu Xi stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, and said, "Steward Zuo, you go out first, let me talk to her alone." ”
Zuoyang glanced at Xiaoxue, who was silent with a face, he nodded and instructed: "That girl be careful herself." So he left the dark room with the others.
Mu Xi walked towards Xiaoxue and was about to untie her, but Xiaoxue scolded sharply: "Don't touch me." ”
Then he sneered: "You are deliberately harming me, why bother to pretend now, I heard that you had nothing to do, and I gave you the new clothes I had made for a month, and I knew that you were such a femme fatale, I would not give it to you even if I threw it away." Muxi, let me tell you, even if you succeed in your treacherous scheme, I will not let you go if I die as a ghost. ”
Quietly waiting for Xiaoxue to go crazy, until she quieted down, Mu Xi said: "You and I have no grievances and no hatred, why do I want to harm you, even if I know that you like the prince, you are just a maid in his house." But you, five years ago, were used by others, so that the prince has a strange poison, those seemingly ordinary flowers and plants, as well as food, as everyone knows, all things are mutually reinforcing, they converge in the prince's body, fuse together, and become a chronic poison, lurking in the prince's body for a long time, the toxin gradually deepens, until the medicine stone has no medicine.
If I hadn't come here by chance, the person you liked would have been gone a long time ago, and you say, if that were the case, would you still be yelling at me here now? I'm afraid you don't know that your ignorance killed your sweetheart, and you were taken advantage of in this life. ”
Hearing this, Xiaoxue's voice gradually disappeared, and she couldn't help but recall the events of the past, and then she realized that the people who kept saying that they helped themselves were using themselves and using their hands to kill the prince.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, at this moment she had to admit that Mu Xi was right, if it weren't for her, this city would probably have become a real dead city at this time, and the prince had already died of poison, and she couldn't escape the plague.
