Mama Fang stepped forward and said, "Back to Your Highness, the girls from each room went to the kitchen to pass breakfast early in the morning. ”

King Chen said: "Don't be perfunctory to this king, if that person wants to do something, he must stay in the kitchen for a while." Don't think that this king doesn't know, the big maids usually just talk at the door, and no one will go into the smokey kitchen. Think about it, who stayed with you from this morning until you came to Shotoku-in? What's so weird? ”

Seeing that Mama Fang had a calm voice and a calm face, she naturally didn't dare to be perfunctory. Looking up at Dongxue, Zhiwu said: "If you say that you stay in the kitchen for a long time, there is only Dongxue girl." ”

"What's going on? You talk about it carefully. King Chen said.

"Yes......" Mama Fang just answered, and before the words fell, she was interrupted by Dongxue.

Dong Xue stepped forward and stood beside Mama Fang. King Xiang Chen knelt down and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, the slave maid went to the kitchen twice in the morning, the first time was to pass breakfast, when the kitchen was full of smoke, and the slave maid did not go in. The second time was after breakfast. Because Xiaohe said that there will be fresh cherries to be sent later, they will be distributed to each room and courtyard. The mother has always been very considerate of the slaves and maids, and knew that the work in the kitchen was hard, so she thought that she should not let them be busy, let the slaves and maids get them, it is not a trouble, just let the slaves and maids walk......"

The slave and maid didn't know what to deliver, so they went to the kitchen to get it. Seeing that Mama was making steamed dumplings, the slave was curious for a while, thinking that Niangniang was not in a hurry to eat, so she stayed in the kitchen and learned from Mama Fang. Later, today's fresh vegetables were delivered, and Mama went to check them, and the slave maid took Mama's stuffing and skin, and wrapped two of them, but they were extremely ugly. ”

Because he felt that he had wasted the food in the house, he was very upset, so he waited for a while, saying that it would be better to steam the dumplings wrapped by the slave and maid and the ones to be sent to Xianglaiyuan, and the slave and maid would eat them by themselves than to waste them...... Later, the mother steamed the dumplings, and the slave took the two ugly steamed dumplings and the four steamed dumplings for my mother, and went back......"

"Your Highness Mingjian, except when I went to see the vegetables, Mama has always been by the slave's side, and there has never been a person in the kitchen, how can the slave and maid have a chance to do anything?"

Mama Fang saw that Dongxue said happily and did not embarrass her. And he didn't want to offend Dongxue and Concubine Bo, so he hurriedly helped Dongxue speak: "Yes, the slave maid saw that the two dumplings made by Dongxue Girl were so ugly, and she thought it was very funny, so she kept looking at Dongxue Girl, and didn't find any strange behavior from her." ”

King Chen was silent for a long time and said, "It can't be assumed that this thing was done by Dongxue. Seeing her so honest, it doesn't seem like she has a ghost in her heart......"

"Your Highness is wise!" Dongxue knocked her head heavily with great emotion.

But Bo Xinlan felt that something was so wrong......

Even if His Highness doesn't think it's made by Dongxue in his heart, he won't say it. Now that Her Highness said it so clearly, it seemed as if he was going to debunk her. It's as if I knew what she thought in my heart, so I deliberately said it and told her about it.

But he couldn't show anything, just frowned and said, "I didn't want such a thing to happen...... Dongxue, it seems that I am too lenient to you on weekdays, allowing you to be so idle and causing me such trouble. ”

"Mother forgive...... The slave and maid knew that it was wrong...... "Dongxue kowtowed to Bo Xinlan again, "The slave and maid didn't think about it, how could it be so coincidental, why did Mrs. Fu have a miscarriage?" But Mrs. Fu has been confined to the Xianglai Courtyard for a while, and it is possible to be mentally uncomfortable, depressed all day long, and have a miscarriage by herself......"

"Presumptuous!" Bo Xinlan scolded angrily, "The affairs of the masters, how can you let yourself talk about it? Your Highness has made its own decisions in your heart, and if you didn't do it, Your Highness will definitely give you justice. If you are so unscrupulous, if you annoy Your Highness, I will not be able to protect you. It's a shame that Your Highness won't deal with you as a little slave! ”

Dongxue was scolded by Bo Xinlan like this, and immediately shut up, not daring to come out.

Bo Xinlan also got up, supported her big belly, knelt down to King Chen, and said, "It's all the concubine's teaching, which makes this girl bold enough to go to the kitchen to make trouble, and she also causes trouble for herself." The concubine is guilty, and I hope His Royal Highness will punish her......"

As he spoke, he wanted to kowtow, but he couldn't bend it because of his stomach.

King Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait until this king finds out the matter, if this is really done by Dongxue, if you don't ask this king for punishment, this king will never spare you." If this thing wasn't done by Dongxue, this king felt that it was too late to wronged you, how could he bear to punish you? ”

"Yes...... Your Highness is wise. Bo Xinlan didn't say anything more.

"Get up, you have a body, don't hurt the child." King Chen.

"Concubine, thank you for your care." Bo Xinlan answered, and then held her stomach to get up.

Mama Wu and Jing Min hurriedly stepped forward, supported Bo Xinlan, and retreated.

Previously, because of King Chen's words, Bo Xinlan was still a little worried, but after listening to King Chen's words just now, this worry fell a little.

King Chen didn't say this to death, he didn't make sure that it must not have been done by Dongxue, and he also had a lot of complaints about her, which was the most reasonable situation.

The strange words before, coupled with King Chen's current words, made Bo Xinlan a little confused. I can only let myself calm down and take a look again.

King Chen has no evidence, even Mama Fang is talking for Dong Xue, how can it be so easy to convict Dong Xue? And Mama Wu and Jing Min are still there, so it's not good for King Chen to have a tough conviction in front of them......

Can...... When I thought of Mama Wu and Jing Min, the certainty in my heart was shaken a little.

Why did King Chen specifically order Mama Wu and Jing Min to come over? This matter has nothing to do with Mama Wu and Jing Min. To take care of her? When did Her Highness show such consideration to her?

The more Bo Xinlan thought about it, the more panicked she felt......

"Dr. Ju said that the Fumei people had a miscarriage because they ate extremely cold things. The rest of the breakfast in Xianglai Hospital, Dr. Ju has checked, and there is no cold medicine in any of the things. According to Chunxiang, Fumei people ate four steamed dumplings and half a bowl of rice porridge in the morning. Now there is still some rice porridge left, and there is nothing strange, so the strange thing is self-evident, that is, there is a problem with the steamed dumplings. ”

"Your Highness Mingjian, which ......" As soon as she heard that it was the steamed dumplings, in addition to the problem, Mama Fang hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The steamed dumplings wrapped by the slave are spiced beef filling, which is the most warm, and there is no cold thing in it......"

Dongxue didn't speak at the right time, as if she didn't hear the meaning of King Chen's words, and felt that King Chen's words had nothing to do with her at all.

"Maybe someone has been tampering with your filling...... It's just that the steamed dumplings have been eaten by the Fumei people, and I don't know what the gangsters used for a while...... "King Chen said.

Speaking of this, Dong Xue seemed to suddenly understand, and said, "Your Highness is still suspicious of slaves? But the slave really didn't do such an evil thing! Your Highness, please forgive the slave and maid for bluntly saying that Dr. Ju didn't know what his wife had eaten, so he made such a conclusion, thinking that it was only because of the pulse. But the pulse of miscarriage due to cold is not just caused by eating the wrong thing......"

"Even if it was caused by eating the wrong thing, how can you be sure that it must have been caused by eating breakfast? Maybe in the past two days, Madame herself has eaten something that is commensurate, but it has not been sent out for a while. Just in time for today's illness, the slave maid was unlucky, and unfortunately was contaminated! ”

"Dongxue ......," Bo Xinlan reprimanded, "Why are you so ignorant of the rules today?" Your Highness has her own decision, in front of Your Highness and Niangniang, how can you be noisy? ”

"! Slaves and maids are in a hurry! If you haven't done it, you haven't done it, and the slave can't let people be wronged! Small grievances or something, slaves and maids can be dumb, but once the slaves and maids can't distinguish this matter, it is a big crime to kill the head! No matter how calm a person is, he can't be completely indifferent to his life and death! Dongxue said, aggrieved, so anxious that she was about to cry, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

Bo Xinlan frowned, looking very distressed, didn't say anything, just sighed. It seems that she feels that she can't help her, so she has her own defense, and she is extremely helpless.

King Chen said: "Okay, don't cry and cry." This king is not the one who indiscriminately wronged people. It's just that in this matter, you are indeed the most suspicious, and this king has to investigate you thoroughly. ”

glanced at Bo Xinlan and said, "I still remember what Concubine Bo said before, if you use something to harm people, you may not be able to use as much as you want, and you must have some leftovers." This king felt that this was very reasonable. If you did it, you probably have what you have left. Wait a minute, why don't you send someone to search your house and see if you can find anything?" ”

As soon as he heard that King Chen was going to search the house, Dongxue came and was not afraid of the shadow, and he was extremely confident. If you don't take care of your identity, you have to straighten your waist. said: "In this way, the grievances of the slave and maid can be washed away!" I beg Your Highness to send someone to search for it as soon as possible! ”

King Chen said: "I will inevitably wronged you, this king will personally take people to search, so it is not good for someone to do something under the nose of this king." It's just that this king is ......"

King Chen looked at his clothes and said with a smile: "I just came back from the Fumei people, and I was contaminated with blood, if I go to your Yilan Courtyard, I am afraid that I will collide with the auspicious Rui of Yilan Courtyard." So be it......"

"Early summer," King Chen commanded, "You go and call Yunshang over, she is careful in her work." Let her bring the king's clothes by the way, and the king will change his clothes and go again. ”

"Yes." Early summer answered and quickly retreated.
