[800โ small รท said โ.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Hermione was apprehensive at this time, and when she heard Mu Han mention the maid beside her, Hermione's eyelashes trembled slightly unconsciously, and her eyes flashed slightly, but because of the movement of lowering her eyebrows, she did not attract the attention of others.
In the inner room, Wei Chixian searched all corners, not to mention a big living person, except for the small body on the soft couch, there was not even a trace of life in the room.
Seeing Yu Chixian come out of the inner room and shake his head at him, Yu Chisheng's eyes burst out again, strode in front of Hermione, pulled her up, grabbed her jaw mercilessly, and said in a cold voice: "Say, where did your maid go?" โ
"How does Min'er know? Maybe she was instructed by someone to harm my Rui'er, and she knew that she was at a loss, so she took advantage of the chaos to escape! โ
Maybe it was because of her weak heart, or maybe she was frightened by Yu Chisheng's rude movements, Hermione's eyes flickered slightly at this time, even if she was infinitely panicked in her heart, she still insisted that Ye Wanruo was the real instigator behind the scenes.
"At this time, you still dare to say such things? I don't think you're going to die if you don't know the Yellow River! Second brother, you will take someone to track down the whereabouts of the servant girl, I don't believe it, after such a long period of effort, can she still escape from Kyoto? โ
Yu Chisheng looked at Hermione, staring at her eyes, not wanting to let go of any of her looks, but turned to Yu Chixian's instructions.
"Yes, my brother will go!"
As he spoke, Yu Chixian had already retreated from the side hall. When passing by Ye Wanruo's side, the calculating eyes crossed Ye Wanruo's body, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a playful smile.
"Prince, even if that servant girl finds it, what can it prove? If Ye Wan wants to harm my Rui'er, she can collude with the maidservants around me. Now even if she quibbles, the gold bracelet was sent by her Ye Wanruo, and it is true that it was verified to be poisonous. Except for her Ye Wanruo, can it still be me, the child who is a mother, who wants to harm herself? If you want to convince Min'er, then there is only one way! โ
As if she understood the resoluteness in Yu Chisheng's eyes, Hermione no longer paid attention to the continuous movements of Yu Chisheng's hand, and said everything she wanted to express in one breath.
Anyway, it had come to this, and she had no choice but to fight to the death.
"What's the solution?"
Suddenly, Wei Chisheng squeezed out a few words between his teeth, only he knew that at this time he was already angry and wanted to kill. But he had to take into account the presence of Emperor Nanqin, panting one after another in his chest, as if he was venting the anger in Wei Chisheng's heart.
"Search! If all this was done by her Ye Wanruo in collusion with the maidservants beside Min'er, then when she came to the Prince's Mansion this time, she must have hidden poison on her body at this moment, as long as she searched it, she could find out! โ
Finally said the intention in her heart, Hermione met Captain Chi Sheng's eyes without fear, such a silent provocation made the movements of Captain Chi Sheng's hand a little aggravated.
Since Hermione dared to bring up a body search, it was impossible for her to make such a false statement without a certain degree of certainty.
If he really agreed, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to falling into Hermione's hands, and just when Wei Chisheng hesitated, Ye Wanruo was also secretly thinking about Hermione's purpose for saying this?
If all this was Hermione's bold guess, Hermione was not such a shallow person; But if Hermione had premeditated, how could Hermione be so sure that she would have the so-called poison on her? What's more, in her memory, she never let Hermione get close.
No.....
Ye Wanruo suddenly remembered that when she first came to the side hall, Hermione fell in front of her. At that time, Ye Wanruo was still thinking, how could Hermione be reckless in front of Mo Yiyan? It seems that from that time on, Hermione had already begun to premeditate.
first pretended to be friendly with her, made her relax her vigilance, and then pointed all this at Ye Wanruo.
But the death of Yu Chirui.... Among the various entanglements, Ye Wanruo didn't dare to think about it anymore.
didn't get the answer she imagined, Hermione still refused to let go of this opportunity, her eyes turned sharply to Ye Wanruo, and she sneered coldly: "What? Is it about to expose your true colors? Since this is the case, I will tell you the truth, why did you kill the killer and harm my Rui'er! โ
"Hermione, since you are so ignorant of lifting, don't blame Prince Ben for turning his face and being ruthless!"
"Ruthless? The prince's heart has long been given to that femme fatale, so why did he have feelings for me and Rui'er? โ
In the face of Prince Sheng's warning, Hermione was unmoved, as if she had long forgotten the clamping of her jaw, stretched out her arm and pointed at Ye Wanruo, but her eyes showed a poignant and fearless look at Prince Sheng.
Wei Chisheng knew that what was happening in front of him was just Hermione's decision to avenge his decision to exchange his life for his life. Afraid that she would say more drastic words, Hermione broke away from his palm with a force on her hand, and with his strength, her body flew out like an arrow from a string.
There was a 'bang', and as Hermione's body landed on the table, there was a loud noise, which made the eyes of the women present flash with surprise.
Burst!
Hermione only felt her body fly out uncontrollably to the side, and the moment she landed, there was a huge pain on her body, followed by a burst of qi and blood, and she only felt a fishy sweetness in her throat, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, a figure quickly flashed in from outside the side hall, and after paying homage to Emperor Nanqin and Mo Yiyan, he whispered something in Yu Chi Jingyao's ear.
Yu Chi Jingyao's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded to Zimo, and Zimo retreated again.
And Yu Chi Jingyao turned his eyes to Hermione at this time, even when he saw her miserable appearance at this time, there was no sympathy in his eyes, and he said indifferently: "Although Wanruo has no title, she is the only daughter of her aunt, not to mention the crown princess, even the father and the emperor also take care of Wanruo." Moreover, Wanruo is also a daughter, even if the final body search proves Wanruo's innocence, it will be harmful to Wanruo's reputation. According to Jingyao, it is not just a body search to prove Wanruo's innocence, there is a better way than this! โ
Ye Wanruo was worried in her heart at this time, thinking that Hermione was likely to have put poison on her, if she searched her body, she would fall for Hermione's plan, but if she didn't agree to the search, the suspicion seemed to be a little bigger.
At this time, hearing Yu Chi Jingyao's confident words, Ye Wanruo looked at Yu Chi Jingyao's eyes with incomprehension, and even everyone in the side hall turned their eyes to Yu Chi Jingyao at the same time, I don't know what this so-called good way is?
On the contrary, after Wei Chi Jingyao handed Ye Wanruo a reassuring look, he turned to the door and spit out a few words in a cold voice: "Bring people up!" โ
The door of the side hall was opened, and Juqiu, who walked in from the outside, strode in with a woman in his hand. The woman lowered her eyebrows, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but from her clothes and steps, Ye Wanruo still believed that this person was the personal servant girl who had just served by Hermione's side.
"Slaves and maids knock to see the emperor and the queen!"
Qiu Qiu escorted the maid to the middle position, and knelt down neatly towards Emperor Nanqin and Mo Yiyan.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Nanqin's eyes were puzzled, and he turned to ask Xiang Yu Chi Jingyao: "Jingyao, what's going on?" โ
The servant girl who had just disappeared out of thin air suddenly appeared at this time, Ye Wanruo's eyes flashed with surprise, and she secretly wondered in her heart, whether this servant girl appeared, and whether her innocence could also be proven?
Hearing Emperor Nanqin's question, Yu Chi Jingyao's slightly meaningful voice sounded, although he seemed to be returning to Emperor Nanqin's question, he turned his eyes to Hermione: "If you go back to your father's words, this handmaid is the personal handmaid next to the crown princess, what happened, please allow the retainer to ask this handmaid, you can know!" โ
Emperor Nan Qin nodded, and spit out two words in a deep voice: "Accurate!" โ
When she saw this servant girl appear, Hermione's heart also had a bad premonition, and the only remaining glimmer of luck in her heart was strangled in Wei Chi Jingyao's meaningful words, and Hermione's expression flashed with a trace of panic that was not easy to detect.
Before Wei Chi Jingyao's questioning voice sounded, Hermione stood up weakly, her face pale, and the blood stain on the corner of her mouth was even more demonic. Her hair is already messy, if it weren't for the daytime, she would look like a female ghost who has traveled in the middle of the night.
I saw her stumbling towards the servant, and when she came to her, she first slapped the servant girl, and then fell to the ground with a thud, grabbed the servant's clothes, and asked coldly: "Rui'er's diet has always been responsible for you, I trust you so much, but you collude with outsiders to harm my Rui'er, are you tired of living this cheap girl?" โ
Hearing Hermione's indiscriminate words, as well as an inexplicable slap, the maid raised her head violently, looked at Hermione's eyes full of panic, and kept shaking her head: "Princess, slave.... Slave maid no...."
"Do you still want to deny it? The facts are in front of you, if you recruit it, this princess can still ask her father to spare your death, but if you don't know how to lift, don't blame me for ignoring the love of the master and servant! โ
Seeing the handmaid's performance, Hermione didn't give her the slightest chance to speak, and continued to speak coldly.
At this time, Hermione's eager tone and her desperate attempt to cover up the truth were undoubtedly tantamount to adding to the snake, but it exposed her intentions even more.
The corners of Yu Chi Jingyao's lips hooked up with an inexplicable smile, and asked Hermione in a deep voice: "This maid hasn't said anything, and the princess has asserted like this, it seems that she is too anxious!" โ
"The fifth brother's words are wrong, she is the only one by my side who is responsible for Rui'er's diet, and just now Imperial Doctor Li also said that although the bracelet is poisonous, it is not fatal, and the bowl of soup is the key to life. Here, who else but her can collude with anyone? โ
Hermione firmly distinguished from Yu Chi Jingyao, her voice was gentle, but she did not forget to point out at the end that Ye Wanruo still couldn't get rid of the suspicion.
"Crown Princess, slave maid..."
Even if she was just a servant, she knew that it would be death after murdering the royal family, and when she heard Hermione's words, the handmaiden hurriedly defended herself.
"What else do you want to say? You, who have ignored my years of appreciation for you, have you ever wondered how disappointed your parents would be if they knew what you were doing? Next, you can only resign yourself to fate, and I can't help you! โ
Before the servant could finish speaking, Hermione interrupted her again, and after weighing the pros and cons for her in a cold voice, she struggled to her feet and walked towards the other side.
She's betting, yes, Hermione is betting!
"This prince asks you, are you responsible for the decoction for the emperor's eldest grandson?"
"Yes!"
"So, you admit that you caused the poison?"
"Yes!"
"This prince reminds you that your father is here, and the crime of bullying the king is to be killed, you have to think about it and then answer me, where did the poison come from?"
"Yes.... It was Miss Ye who gave it to the slave maid, and the slave maid was the maid that Miss Ye placed next to the crown princess, and it was Miss Ye who sent the slave maid to poison the emperor's eldest grandson! โ
After a moment of hesitation, the maid seemed to have made up her mind, and finally said the words to identify Ye Wanruo, and the anger in Hermione's eyes was hidden by a strategic calculation.
Hermione so deliberately mentioned the handmaid's parents, using this as a threat, such a choice, Hermione was indeed gambling. It's just, it turns out, she won the bet, didn't she?
Ye Wanruo, see if you don't die this time?
