Chapter 339: Leakage of Evidence of Guilt
Mama Jin didn't say anything, she really followed Lu Caixi's meaning and went to the small study.
Lu Caixi turned around and sat down beside King Chen, but Mama Jin turned back and went to the bedside to search.
When Lu Caixi saw Mama Jin return to the bedside, her originally pleasant face immediately sank. He said in a deep voice: "What? Mama is going to offend me and His Highness to the end of the bed, right? ”
"Madame, forgive me, the slave and maid have not yet been searched. This time, the slave didn't look at it, just searched. It only takes a moment of effort, and the slave and maid are done searching, and they naturally leave, and they will never continue to offend. Mama Jin said.
King Chen still didn't say anything, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.
But he did not speak, but he spoke better than many words. Lu Caixi could see that King Chen's meaning was to let Mama Jin search. And Mama Jin's attitude is also very resolute, if she stops it again, it is estimated that in exchange, it is a sentence from King Chen, "Ai Ji, you just let her search, don't worry." In addition to this sentence, there is another consequence, that is, King Chen and Mama Jin both feel that she is a thief, and Mama Jin will search more carefully.
So after thinking about it quickly, he gritted his teeth and had to be searched by Mama Jin.
But he didn't accept his fate, but looked at Qiu Yan who was standing at the door, and wanted Qiu Yan to rush up to stop Mama Jin.
But Qiu Yan still hung her head, her ears and nose looked at her heart, even if she noticed her gaze, she didn't look at her.
Lu Caixi was anxious in her heart, and she couldn't care about hating and scolding Qiu Yan, so she could only pin her last hope on her. coughed twice to remind Qiu Yan.
But...... Qiu Yan still lowered her head, as if she was deaf.
Lu Caixi's eyes showed ruthlessness, and he wanted to look back and see how I cleaned you up. But he could only take it back immediately, and coughed dryly twice. This time, naturally, there was no response from Qiu Yan. Lu Caixi directly called Qiu Yan over: "Qiu Yan, you come and pour tea for me and His Royal Highness." ”
"Yes." Qiu Yan hung her head and answered.
But he didn't go directly to Lu Caixi's side, but walked slowly and steadily, and arrived at King Chen's side first.
Picking up the teapot, turning over the teacup, slowly, pouring a wisp of tea into the teacup.
Lu Caixi looked at Qiu Yan and gave her a look several times, but Qiu Yan just didn't look up at her.
At this time, Mama Jin had already pinched something in the pillow. Motioning to a little maid beside her with her eyes, she asked her to go to the sewing basket on the dresser to get scissors.
Lu Caixi glanced at Mama Jin's side, and saw that someone had already gone to get the scissors, and her heart had already risen to her throat, almost gasping for breath, as if she was about to jump out.
"Qiu Yan, why are you so grinding?" Lu Caixi reprimanded.
Qiu Yan still walked steadily and arrived at Lu Caixi's side. He placed a teacup in front of her and lifted the teapot......
Lu Caixi tugged at the corner of Qiu Yan's clothes.
But Qiu Yan was still unmoved, her eyes were only on the teapot in her hand.
A wisp of tea flows from the teapot into the teacup.
The "sizzle......" pillow has been washed away by scissors.
Two small packets of powder fell out.
Hearing the muffled sound of the medicinal powder falling on the bed, Lu Caixi's eyes closed, and his heart fell heavily......
The hand holding the corner of Qiu Yan's clothes also slowly drooped down.
Qiu Yan picked up the teacup with both hands, respectfully handed the cup of tea to her: "Madam, please use tea." ”
Lu Caixi gritted her teeth fiercely and resisted the urge to slap Qiu Yan in the face.
No, it's not dead yet, it's not ...... yet.
It's just that the powder is exposed, and who knows what kind of powder it is? The powders were all made of spices, and she only had to say that they were used to smoke pillows and quilts, and who would doubt anything? Isn't it normal for a woman to have sachets and sachets in her room?
Just said that she was pregnant recently, and she didn't dare to do needlework and was tired, so she didn't make sachets and sachets, so she just put them directly in the paper bag. Is there something abnormal?
comforted himself like this, and repeatedly told himself not to panic, but to calm down.
Qiu Yan held the tea cup, Lu Caixi didn't take it, and she didn't let go. But he didn't say anything to remind him anymore, and he still didn't speak like a gourd without a mouth.
Since he has not reached the end of the road, he naturally can't show anything to Qiu Yan. His eyes fell on Qiu Yan, who lowered her head, and she hated her so much that she wanted to kill her with a knife, but she could only say: "I don't want to drink it suddenly, let it go there." ”
"Yes." Qiu Yan answered and placed the teacup on the table beside Lu Caixi.
Then, hang your head, bow back. It looks so deferential and deferential.
At this time, the contents of the quilt were also discovered.
There was another "sizzling" sound, and the powder in the quilt also fell out.
But Lu Caixi was not in a hurry...... Of course, just to make yourself look unhurried. picked up the tea cup on the side, and slowly, took a sip of tea to his mouth.
Mama Jin came over with four packets of medicinal powder, directly ignored Rong Yunxi, presented her hands to King Chen, and said, "Your Highness, although I didn't find the jade pendant, but in the quilt and pillow of the lady, I found these things, and the slave felt a little strange. Could it be that someone is trying to kill Madame? What did you do that is not good for the fetus and hide it in the quilt and pillow of the lady? ”
That's a very tactful way to say.
But Lu Caixi didn't dare to follow Mama Jin's words to explain. If she had said that she did not know these things, then Her Highness would have taken some of the powders with her and would have called Dr. Ju to come and check them out. What if Dr. Ju sees something strange about this thing? Isn't that tantamount to digging one's own grave?
So all she could do was bite to death, and these powders were just incense.
"I said what Mama was doing when she dismantled the pillow and cut the quilt, and I was confused. It turned out to be for this. Mama was worried, it wasn't who wanted to hurt me, it was just the incense I put in the pillow and quilt. Don't blame anyone for that, I don't want to cause trouble. Lu Caixi said with a smile.
As he spoke, he instructed Qiu Yan: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you get your stuff over and sew the quilt and pillow? Do you still have to bother your grandmother to sew it herself? ”
Qiu Yan answered "yes" and slowly stepped forward.
King Chen took the powder from Mama Jin before Qiu Yan, took out a packet and put it under his nose, and sniffed it......
"Hmm...... It's really fragrant. This king also wondered, how to love Ji's mattress, there is always a very attractive smell, it turns out that it is all the credit of this thing. King Chen smiled.
"yes, it's all because of these spices. His Royal Highness has always said that it is the body fragrance of the concubine's body, and the concubine body in order to make His Highness like the concubine body more, so she hid it from Her Highness and did not say the reason. Your Highness...... You don't blame the concubine, do you? Lu Caixi held her heart and said coquettishly to King Chen.
"How could it be...... King Chen opened a packet of medicinal powder, and as if he liked it very much, he sniffed it carefully. Raising his head, he pointed to a little maid at random, and ordered: "You go and call Doctor Ju, this king wants him to see what recipes are here." so that he may be assigned to the various courtyards of the palace in the future. ”
"Your Highness......" Lu Caixi said coquettishly, "This is the secret recipe that the concubine finally obtained, thinking that His Highness can only smell it in the concubine's room, but His Highness wants to give it to others." If all the sisters have this smell in their houses, His Highness will not like concubines even more...... Your Highness, you bully people, and your concubine is not dependent. ”
King Chen smiled and said, "Hey, Aiji, what are you doing here?" Why are you so careful? Shouldn't you, sisters, take care of each other? You are a person from my Chenwang Mansion, and now you have good things, this king asked you to take them out and share them with everyone, but you are reluctant, this is outside of this king. ”
Lu Caixi naturally knew that King Chen didn't want to mix these spices out and give them away at all, but just wanted Dr. Ju to come over and see what it was.
King Chen's attitude was very resolute, and she could not persuade her.
And the little girl was also very clever, she didn't care about her words at all, and when she got the order, she walked out quickly.
"Your Royal Highness ......" But Lu Caixi still didn't give up, and at the last moment, she must not surrender first. He came to King Chen's side again, shaking his arm and coquettishly: "The concubine is not dependent, the concubine is not dependent...... This thing is a secret recipe that the concubine finally obtained, in order to make His Highness like it. This unique taste can only be a concubine. ”
"Your Highness, you can be gracious and understand the little selfishness of the concubine, okay......"
King Chen smiled and withdrew his arm lightly. Looking at a certain point in the air, he said very meaningfully: "Aiji, don't panic, you sit down." Doctor Ju may not be able to see it, can he? ”
Lu Caixi was stunned for a moment, almost having an urge to kneel and beg for mercy.
However, as King Chen said, Dr. Ju may not be able to detect it. So, how could she not confess to herself?
I didn't dare to say anything more, so I could only say coquettishly, "Your Highness is really annoying", so he returned to the opposite side of King Chen and sat down in a proper manner.
After finding out this thing, Mama Jin didn't go to the study to search again, and King Chen didn't tell Mama Jin to continue searching. It's as if they were looking for this thing under the banner of the first place.
Lu Caixi felt that it was better to have one less person here than one more person. is also to be angry with King Chen, and deliberately remind King Chen. So he reminded: "Isn't Mama going to find a jade pendant for her mother?" What's the matter, doesn't Yilan Yuan need to check? ”
Mama Jin raised her head slightly and looked at King Chen, seeking to show her.
King Chen pointed to the other handmaidens and said, "Don't be lazy here, go to Yilan Courtyard to check." ”
"Mama will stay here, and wait for the king's orders. Doctor Ju checked the recipe and came out, and this king still wants you to report the amount needed by the total. ”
"Yes."
