Chapter 384: Argument and arrogance

Of course, this time there was a great harvest, Mama Yang and Aunt Li almost didn't waste any effort to find the black porcelain bottle from the ribbed shoes, the three of them returned to the tea room, presented the evidence, and Dongyu prostrated again: "The princess Mingjian, what the slave said is not slanderous, just now I witnessed Rib pour the contents of the bottle into the snow water." ”

So far, I can only miss this opportunity first, but fortunately, the other two snow water have also been poisoned, if the prince and the princess are negligent, they may not succeed, even if they are precautionary and abandon it, after this time, the princess should also have trust in herself, and there may be a chance in the future - Dongyu has a good wishful thinking.

"Rib, what do you have to say?" The beautiful scenery was full of frost, and the solemn tone made Dongyu secretly happy - the princess had long been unaccustomed to Rib, the personal servant girl of the world, and now that she had such an opportunity, of course she had to fall into the well, and she was fooled this time.

"Back to the princess, the slave has never seen this thing."

As soon as the strings in Dong Yu's mind were loosened, he got a little carried away, and then snorted coldly: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and you still dare to quibble." ”

"What does the second brother think?" Yu Feng suddenly asked.

Yu Zhou, who had been watching for a while, was slightly stunned, weighed it in his heart, frowned and said: "In my opinion, there is still something strange about this matter, regardless of anything else, it is the motive, if it is really as Dongyu said, the rib is for Miss Jiang's grievances, and the person who should take revenge should also be five...... Sister-in-law, how could you ......"

Dong Yu obviously didn't understand Yu Zhou's calculation of "being cautious", and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly argued: "Rib was resentful of the princess at first, and later because the prince acquiesced to the princess depriving her of the right to serve her, she also had a grudge in her heart, this is what she told the slave maid personally......"

Yijing was cold - in order to save Yu Zhou "survived", Dong Yu did not have all the plans, so he dared to stand up and testify against Rib, but Yu Zhou also pretended to defend Rib in order to clear up the relationship with Dong Yu.

"Good girl." Yi Jingwan'er interrupted Dongyu's words: "It's really my good girl, since you knew that Rib was complaining, why didn't you report me early?" ”

Dongyu was dumbfounded.

Yi Jing continued: "I really wonder in my heart, if Rib is really going to be poisoned, why not put all this poison in the water, and leave such a ......" Yi Jing shook the porcelain bottle in his hand: "The small half bottle of evidence is stored in his own residence, if it is not stopped by the winter rain, the prince and the second brother are poisoned today, Rib as a person who worships water, will be interrogated, and it is inevitable to search the body and the house, but not to be caught and stolen?" ”

Dongyuxiang was drenched in sweat, and she couldn't care too much at this time - if she didn't implement the crime of ribbing, how could she explain that she knew that the water was poisonous, which was not only the crime of "bloody slander", but also opened her mouth to argue: "The slave maid thinks that rib may have the idea of ending up together, after all, Guan Sui Yuan is well prepared, and it is not easy for her to be poisoned, so she never thought about getting rid of the crime...... As for the slave and maid...... Rib is just a verbal complaint, without any evidence, the slave and maid do not dare to report rashly, Rib is a cronie of the prince after all, and the slave and maid are also jealous in their hearts. ”

Yijing was too lazy to entangle with Dongyu, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Dongyu, according to what you just said, it was you and Rib who started this water together?" ”

Dongyu bowed his head heavily: "The slave maid just helped to pull out the flower mud, it was Rib who took the porcelain urn out, and went to the Qingxue House to open the seal and inspect it." ”

"Rib, I wonder if there is any snow left in the snow collected by the prince?" Yijing asked again.

"There are still two of them, still buried in the shade of flowers." Rib answered.

"Okay, let's go to the back court first, who is right and which is wrong, and the truth will naturally be revealed." Yijing looked at it again, and said to Yu Feng, who was standing by, "Please move the prince." ”

Now, as shrewd as Yu Zhou, of course, he knows that Dongyu has fallen into the trap of the fifth sister, not only Yu Feng, but even Yijing is on the side of the ribbing, it must be this stupid maid who startles the snake and makes Yijing wary first!

It's better not to mix this matter, even if the winter rain bites, it's a big deal to scold her for spitting blood.

"I want to go to the backyard, I have a lot of inconvenience, so I should say goodbye first." Yu Zhou ignored the appearance of Dongyu crying and Chu Chu pitifully wanting to win his support, and resolutely said goodbye this time.

Until this time, Dongyu didn't know that death was coming, although Yu Zhou ignored it and made her feel a little aggrieved, but she quickly cleaned up her emotions - as her grandmother said that day, she was the concubine's maid in marriage, and now she took the initiative to report the poison of the princess, so that the prince survived, no matter what the princess is based on, she should not help the rib, how can the princess not suspect that she was poisoned, if so, why should she come forward to expose it and stop it in time? The princess didn't know that she was for Erlang.

Clenching his fists to cheer himself on along the way, Dongyu clenched his teeth, and when he arrived in the backyard, he became very miraculously full of confidence.

But soon her knees weakened, and she collapsed on the ground and could not get up.

In front of everyone's eyes, the beautiful scenery made people take out the two snow waters, secrete a bowl, and let Xia Ke hand it to Dongyu: "Drink it!" ”

Dongyu leaned up on one cheek, her face was as pale as paper, and the carmine mole between her eyebrows was more and more dazzling, she bit her lip tightly, looking at the prince and the princess standing side by side under Qingxue, trying her best to endure the resentment.

"Dongyu, why don't you dare to drink this bowl of water?" Yijing raised her chin slightly, and the smile on the corner of her lips was as warm as spring.

Poisonous woman! Dongyu shouted in his heart, quickly stepped forward on his knees, and crawled on the ground full of grievances: "Princess, the slave maid is your dowry maid, and she has been waiting by your side for many years, I don't know why you don't believe in the slave maid, the slave and maid are really wronged." ”

"This is really unreasonable, today you testify that the rib is poisoned, it is a felony to murder the clan, of course I have to interrogate carefully, but I can't listen to it because you are my dowry maid, I didn't say anything about you, but let you drink this bowl of water, how can it become a dismiss of the old love, and you are wronged?" Yijing sighed good-naturedly: "Dongyu, don't misunderstand me. ”

"Since the rib can be poisoned in that snow water, it will inevitably not be poisoned in these two Cheng, princess, please also Mingjian."

Yijing sneered: "You just said that you and Rib quickly opened the snow water, and inadvertently saw her put the poison in that city, let me ask you, if Rib had already fallen the poison into these two snow waters, why did he start the non-poisonous one and risk being discovered by you?" If it is said that the three Cheng have been poisoned, there is no need to do it again, Dongyu, you dare not drink this bowl of water, you should know that the water is poisonous, today's matter, obviously you want to poison the prince and blame the ribs. ”

"The slave and maid are wronged, if this is the case, why should the slave and maid stop it, the slave and the maid have no grudge against Rib, how can they be willing to risk the death penalty, and she will be blamed for the crime of murdering the clan."

"If you still have to quibble, then I will convince you." Yi Jing said in a cold voice: "Aunt Li, the night before, did you see the winter rain sneaking into the Qingxue House at night?" ”

The two Aunt Li took a step forward, and said yes in unison, and one said: "The night before, when there was no one in the middle of the night, this maid did sneakily steal into the backyard. One added: "My subordinates saw with their own eyes that this maid was out of the mud and snow, and it was a lot of tossing." ”

Dongyu's heart was broken, but she didn't expect her to be so careful, she was witnessed by the two Aunt Li, and gritted her teeth and quibbled: "The princess Mingjian, the two Aunt Li are both cronies of the prince, of course they will help the ribs, and the slave maid will never do such a sneaky thing." ”

Yi Jing shook his head, handed the black porcelain bottle in his hand to Aunt Dong, the kitchen supervisor who had been ordered to come and wait for a long time, and said softly: "Auntie told Dongyu, what is here?" ”

Aunt Dong dutifully shook the powder in the porcelain bottle in the empty bowl, looked at the face, first tested the poison with a silver needle, saw that there was no reaction, and even tasted a little on the tip of her tongue, frowning: "It's not poison, it tastes like absinthe." ”

Dongyu was dumbfounded, and came back to his senses for a moment: "The slave maid was not sure that the rib was added as a poison......"

"Hu Xuan, come on, what's going on with this bottle of absinthe?"

The little maid with her head was still holding her pet fox in her arms, and stepped forward with a smile: "When I came back from the private house on the day of the winter rain, I was passed to the main house by the princess, and the slave and maid found out what she hid in her shoes, and put the two porcelain bottles that Mama Xie handed over to the slave and maid. ”

Yijing nodded approvingly, this girl was honest, and she didn't add oil or vinegar to her words.

"Dongyu, I confessed to Mama Xie and asked her to exchange two bottles of absinthe for your private treasures."

It was like five thunderbolts hitting the top, shaking Dongyu dumbfounded, and she could no longer hide the resentment in her eyes - things had come to this point, of course she came to her senses, and the princess had already been on guard against her, digging a trap, waiting for her to step in.

"How do you explain that the two bottles of absinthe that should have been in your place were mostly added to the snow water of Sanchengzi, and one bottle ran into the ribbed house?" The beautiful scenery is not impatient or impatient, it is still Waner.

Obviously, it is easy to see that the original two bottles of highly toxic arsenic have fallen into the hands of the princess!

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to be soft and pleading, let alone admit guilt, the nails on Dongyu's hands are pinched fiercely in the palms, and the tears that were squeezed out earlier are also dried in the bottom of his eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes are burning with anger, although he still falls to the ground on his knees, his waist is straight: "What the princess said, the slave and maid can't understand a word." ”

"So, you mean I wronged you?"

"The princess had a prejudice against the slave and maid in the Guogong Mansion in the past, if it were not for the intercession of the Duchess of the country, the princess resolutely refused to let the slave and maid marry, and the princess originally persuaded the princess to be a virtuous woman, but the princess was afraid of the beauty of the slave and the maid, and was afraid of the princess...... Slaves and maids have no two hearts, if the princess does not like slaves and maids, slaves and maids ask to go. ”

These resounding words were really unexpected by the beautiful scenery, even a few maids who stood by were also dumbfounded, especially Qiuyue, she used to jump out, and at this time she forgot the rules for a while, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "The princess is afraid of your beauty?" Dongyu, you really dare to speak out. ”

In her opinion, since the Huang family helped her to come to the palace, she will be afraid and will not ignore it, and should help her get rid of her guilt, as long as she refuses to admit her guilt and grit her teeth to survive this hurdle, at most, she will have no errand, but she can still save her life.

It's a ...... The dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, but he still refused to confess Xiao Xie and Yu Zhou, this piece of infatuation is really "touching".

The corners of Yijing's lips finally pulled up a touch of sarcasm: "Dongyu, do you know what crime you have committed, murdering the clan, how can you ask to go!" ”

"The princess is spewing blood!" The winter rain has gone out,

"You are a slave maid, life and death are all up to me, if I want your life, I will let you die quietly, and you can waste such strength, and besides, everyone present today has witnessed it, you think you have succeeded, and the two snow water contains highly poisonous, so you gritted your teeth and refused to enter your throat, and you are clearly a thief." Speaking of this, Yi Jing felt very bored, and waved his hand lazily: "Since you are so mad that you don't repent to death, and even the Duchess of the Kingdom has climbed out, it seems that I have to take you back to the Gongfu Mansion and argue right and wrong in front of the Madame!" ”

When Dong Yu heard that she was going to take her back to the Weiguo Mansion, she breathed a sigh of relief - she was fighting alone in the Chu Palace, and when she returned to the Weiguo Mansion, with her grandmother's help in the Ming and the support of the Duchess in the dark, she might not be able to make the princess carry out the charges.

She is not an ordinary slave, in fact, she is also the granddaughter of the official eunuch family, even if the princess is noble and wants her life, it will not be so easy!
