Chapter 9: Things Take a Turn

There was silence in the hall again, and Ri Ling hated this silence a little, as if it was a sunny day before the haze.

"Yu Zhaorong Niangniang, the slave has something to tell." Suddenly, Ying Yue, who was beside Mei Xi, stood up.

"Say it." Yao Zhaorong said with a smile.

"The slave saw who hit Yu'er that night." Ying Yue looked at Mei Xi with some uneasiness, and Mei Xi smiled at the corner of her mouth and was silent.

"Then you say, who hit Yu'er." Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Yao Zhaorong was naturally happy.

"That's her!" Invite Yue pointed to the second palace maid.

The palace maid looked at Ying Yue pointing herself out, and immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, and even forgot to shout the usual wrongs.

"Peach! How are you! As soon as Ruyue saw the palace maid, she said in surprise.

"What's going on? Hurry up and bring the real money to this palace. "Yao Zhaorong doesn't have time to listen to these messy things, as long as the matter is resolved.

"Slave maid......" The palace maid was still frightened, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Let's talk about it as a slave." Ruyue said with a cold face, "A few days ago, this peach broke a vase that the master liked very much, and the master gave her half a moon of silver, who knew that she was jealous and hateful, and actually poisoned the master!" ”

"Slave maid......" Shui Tao couldn't say a word of justification.

"What else do you have to say!" Yao Zhaorong was ready to deal with it, anyway, the matter had been clarified.

"Shui Tao, I really can't imagine that you are such a wolf-hearted person, and the master never treats you badly!" Ruyue was naturally a little indignant.

"Slave maid......" Shui Tao seemed to have something unspeakable, but he never defended himself, so he acquiesced.

"This water peach dared to murder his master, and he should have been executed directly, but today is the first day of the first lunar month, so he will be locked up for a day first, and he will be executed tomorrow." Yao Zhaorong opened his mouth to judge.

"Wait," Li Huiqin seemed to say something more, "Water Peach, where did the poison of your oleander come from?" ”

"The slave bought it outside the palace." Shui Tao showed a look of looking at death as if he were at home.

Li Ling looked at the water peach and whispered to the white apricot beside her.

"How do you get out of the palace?" Li Huiqin's face was pale, and she pressed towards Shui Tao step by step.

"Slave maid...... The slave and maid knew that they couldn't live with the master, the poison was under the slave and the slave, and the slave and maid ......" Shui Tao showed a touch of shame on her face, and ran directly to the nearest pillar to her.

"She's going to kill herself." Li Ling said a little anxiously.

Bai Xing had already listened to Liling's instructions and looked at Shui Tao closely, so at the same time that Shui Tao ran out, Bai Xing ran out to stop Shui Tao.

"Zhaorong Niangniang, the concubine thinks that this matter will not be so simple." Li Huiqin looked at the peach who tried to find death, and said with an uncertain look.

"What do you think of my sister?" Yao Zhaorong originally wanted to have more than one thing to do less, but Li Huiqin didn't let go of himself and had no opinion.

"What else does the contouring sister have to say? Isn't that over? "Concubine Wen didn't want to have too many extraneous branches.

"Shui Tao is usually a timid palace maid, she doesn't dare to kill, let alone kill!" Ruyue spoke out in place of Li Huiqin.

"No matter how timid people are provoked, there will be times when they are extreme." Concubine Wen disagreed.

"Provoked? It's just half a month's moonsilver, and it's not that she was beaten and scolded, could it be that the concubine Niangniang didn't punish the palace maid's moonsilver, so why is the lady still sitting here? "Li Huiqin has offended Wen Xin'er not once or twice, but fortunately, she has directly offended enough.

Concubine Wen didn't speak again, just looked at Li Huiqin coldly, seeing what she was going to toss.

"Shui Tao, you say, why do you want to harm your master?" Ruyue asked Shui Tao sharply, and Shui Tao was so scared that she didn't dare to look at Ruyue.

"Sister, the palace maid asked Shui Tao like this, I didn't know, and I thought that my sister was going to force Shui Tao to say something that didn't exist in the first place." Mei Xi is no longer as delicate as she used to be a palace maid, and even her words are like this.

"My sister said this, I don't know, I thought my sister was afraid that my sister would ask something." Li Huiqin is naturally not a master to mess with.

Concubine Wen glanced at Mei Xi reproachfully, Mei Xi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wen Xin'er's eyes, and could only sit in her place sullenly.

"Shui Tao, if you are not the mastermind in this matter, then you quickly tell the mastermind, and this palace will ensure that you will not die." Yao Zhaorong saw that the smell of gunpowder in the main hall was getting stronger, so everyone's attention could only turn to this side.

"At this time, it was Shui Tao who did it, and Shui Tao should die." Shui Tao knelt down, tears flowing.

"And where did you get that poison?" Yao Zhaorong asked patiently: "If you don't explain honestly, your family will be implicated." ”

After the "slave ......" threatened, Shui Tao hesitated.

"Shui Tao, do you know what kind of responsibility the palace maid who murdered her master will have?" Li Ling glanced at the water peach, and said slowly: "Murdering the master of more than nine concubines, the palace maid is going to destroy the whole door." ”

As soon as Shui Tao heard this, her body immediately trembled, and her hands were unconsciously clenched tightly.

"You talk nonsense!" When Mei Xi heard this, she directly refuted Liling.

"Are there any rules? White apricot, palm mouth. "Liling is too lazy to look at Meixi, so she directly calls the mouth of Meixi with white apricot palms.

"You dare!" Mei Xi's eyes glared at Pear Ling, but she found that Pear Ling was not scaring her at all, but for real.

Seeing that Bai Xing was about to slap herself, she was beaten by a palace maid in front of everyone in the harem, how could she gain a foothold in the harem in the future? So Mei Xi begged Concubine Wen to be organized, but Concubine Wen drank tea by herself, as if she hadn't noticed this side at all.

Just when Bai Xing's slap was about to fall on Mei Xi's fair face, Dai Yanshan grabbed Bai Xing's hand and said to Li Ling: "The main thing today is not this, besides, I still have to know that Sister Zhaoyuan will do this on the first day of the new year, I'm afraid I will be unhappy." ”

"Since there is a generation of Chongyuan to intercede for you, this palace will let you go for the time being." Liling smiled and called Bai Xing back.

Mei Xi looked at Liling hatefully, this woman always embarrassed her!

"Shui Tao, you have to think clearly, is it really your idea to murder Li Xiurong alone? This is not a small crime. Wan Zhaoyi asked Shui Tao with a smile.

"Slave maid......" Shui Tao looked at the people around her and didn't look like they were lying to her, she was hesitating.

"In that case, come on, now put Shui Tao in the heavenly prison and execute tomorrow, put her family in prison, and execute them together tomorrow!" As soon as Yao Zhaorong gave an order, someone came in and brought Shui Tao down.

"Nope! No! The slave still has something to say! Shui Tao broke free from those people and knelt in front of Yao Zhaorong.

"Say whatever you want." When Yao Zhaorong saw this, he knew that things were still going to turn around.
