Chapter 349: I didn't hesitate to turn my back, and I wanted to protect her for the first time
Du Wei looked back at the prince and said indifferently: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the crown prince has already deduced?" ”
The prince looked at her, but smiled strangely.
Half an hour later, a maid helped Gu Xiuting to come slowly, Concubine Li asked her to sit beside her, and King Ying sat on the other side.
Gu Xiuting was still wearing a red wedding dress, but she was hiding her face with her sleeves, crying nonstop, and her sad eyes felt unbearable for anyone who saw them.
Concubine Li comforted her softly and asked, "How did you get poisoned?" ”
Gu Xiuting's face was aggrieved, "I don't know...... I was sitting well, but I didn't want to, but I suddenly became dizzy. ”
"What did you smell when you entered the cave? Or what did you eat? ”
Gu Xiuting shook her head vigorously, the bride is usually on an empty stomach from the morning.
At this time, a maid standing behind Gu Xiuting suddenly remembered something and said, "Although the princess has never eaten, she has taken a sip of tea." ”
"Tea?" Concubine Li was stunned, "What kind of tea?" ”
Gu Xiuting seemed a little embarrassed and said: "At that time, I felt that my throat was a little dry, so I asked Miss Ye to pour me a cup of tea, and I only took one sip...... It's still on the table. ”
Concubine Li's face sank instantly, and she ordered someone to go to the cave room to find the half cup of tea.
Not long after, someone took the cup, and there was still some tea in the cup, and the imperial doctor stepped forward to smell it, and immediately said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, there is the poison of the black stone in this tea!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Xiuting suddenly stood up, trembling and looking at Du Wei, her face was as pale as the frost of the cold winter wax moon, "Miss Ye, you are so vicious!" I didn't expect you to poison me in the tea! ”
This accusation only pointed everyone's eyes at Du Wei.
Du Wei sat there with a calm expression on her face, "Why did the British princess say this, everything must be evidenced, and please don't speculate." ”
Concubine Li looked at Du Wei, but her brows were furrowed, she was very familiar with Du Wei, this woman had left a very deep impression on her before, whether it was talent or dealing with people, she didn't show anything, but today this matter suddenly got in touch with her...... Could it be that she really has a distraction towards the King of England as rumored to be?
The more Concubine Li thought about it, the more she felt that it was not good, if she was really entangled with the King of England, I was afraid that it would damage the reputation of the King of England, so it was better to make plans as soon as possible, so that she would die of this heart.
Gu Xiuting's eyes were rolling with tears, and she pointed at Du Wei with a trembling finger: "If it weren't for the cup of tea you poured...... I...... How could I have almost lost my life! ”
Du Wei's face was slightly cold, and her tone was much more blunt than just now: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, you said that it was poisoned after drinking the tea I poured, but that tea was obviously you begging me to pour it for you, is it possible that I can pinch it, I knew in advance that you would let me help pour the tea, so I brought the poison, and put it in the cup in front of you for you to drink?" ”
After listening to Du Wei's explanation, many people nodded again and again.
Indeed, no one would have predicted in advance that Gu Xiuting wanted to drink tea, and they wanted Du Wei to help bring the tea over, and in front of Gu Xiuting, how Du Wei poisoned the tea, this alone makes people can't make sense.
Gu Xiuting said angrily: "Who else but you!" Who doesn't know that you admire His Royal Highness the King of England, and when you see me married, you can't wait for me to die......"
The more the King listened to it, the colder his face became, and he said coldly: "It's not your turn to comment on the matter between this king and Miss Ye!" ”
When Concubine Li saw that the King of England was defending Du Wei's girl in public, the original worry in her heart increased a little, and she had to keep Du Wei away from the King of England as soon as possible.
"In this way, this matter is still Miss Ye's most suspicious, it is better to hand her over to Shuntian Mansion Yin first, and then make a decision after she is presented to the emperor." Concubine Li said and raised her hand to Du Wei, and said to the guards beside her: "Come on, take her down!" ”
Du Wei sat motionless, and the two maids standing behind her were a little anxious, wanting to stand up and protect her, but in the face of so many guards from the British Palace, they couldn't do anything at all.
"Stop!" The King of England drank the guards.
"Hao'er, you can't defend her anymore." Concubine Li couldn't help but be annoyed when she saw that the King of England actually disobeyed her orders in public, the King of England was an obedient and sensible child in the past, and from childhood to adulthood, he would listen to him as a mother no matter what.
But now, for the sake of a woman who was divorced from home, he dared to disobey his mother's order to defend her in public.
"Mother." King Ying got up and arched his hand towards Concubine Li, "This matter is related to Miss Ye's reputation, and I will ask my mother to be safe before we find out what happened." ”
Concubine Li slapped her palm on the table, "How can I investigate, even she herself admits that your concubine is poisoned by drinking the tea she poured!" ”
"But she didn't admit that she was the one who caused the poison." The King said in a deep voice, not intending to budge in the slightest.
When everyone saw this scene, they all looked at each other.
I didn't expect that for the sake of a female princess, the king of England would not hesitate to contradict his mother and concubine to protect it, it seems that this female princess is not simple......
For a moment, everyone was silent, waiting to see how things would develop.
In fact, even the King of England himself felt a little incredible, if it had been before, he would never have dreamed that he would one day disobey his mother's orders in public.
And all this is just for a woman.
Before, he didn't protect her in time, he missed it.
He thought she was just one of many women he was interested in, but it turned out that he was wrong.
He thought that one day, he would gradually forget about her, but in the end, he was wrong.
Concubine Li stared at King Ying with an expression of disbelief, and said fiercely, "Okay...... Since you said that she didn't give the poison, what proof do you have? ”
"But Gu Xiuting said that the poison was given by Miss Ye, and she has no evidence." The King said calmly.
Gu Xiuting didn't expect that the King of England would face Du Wei in public, she is the real Princess of England, shouldn't he be facing his own woman? Compared to her, what is the difference between himself?
The other party is just a woman who has been abandoned, with a sick and crooked appearance, what place can compare to her!
"Since Miss Ye refuses to admit to poisoning, do you dare to let people check it?" Gu Xiuting said word by word, "Don't you want to prove your innocence?" ”
Du Wei sneered, in order to prove his innocence, he had to let others check it? What a joke, she won't be fooled.
In this world, it is a shame for a woman to be suspected and searched in public, even if her innocence is proved later, this shame cannot be washed away.
The King of England frowned, looking at Gu Xiuting's eyes with obvious displeasure, although he married her before only by the emperor's order, but in all fairness, he was not too resistant, at most he was just a little regretful, but now, he suddenly felt that this woman was quite disgusting to him.
She has been trying to pull Du Wei into the water from beginning to end, although he doesn't know why she was poisoned, but he believes that the poison will definitely not be Du Wei's poison.
Because the person who tasted the bitterness of thinking was him, not Du Wei, she had no intention of herself at all.
"If you can't find out this matter, it seems that you have to leave it to Lord Yin of Shuntian Mansion to handle it." Concubine Li looked a little impatient.
King Ying just wanted to open his mouth to persuade Concubine Li to retract this idea again, but behind him, Du Wei suddenly said: "Actually, in addition to the body search, I have other ways to prove that I did not poison the tea." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed surprised expressions, and even the prince couldn't help but show curiosity on his face, he wanted to see how this woman would clear her innocence in a while.
