Chapter 116: Casting Tricks in Front of the Three Princes
.. , the mad concubine
The trip of the three princes was originally arranged to take advantage of Jing Mofeng's poisoning, so that Liu Wenzhe would be guilty of murdering the prince, and then the three princes would finally come forward to press this matter, so that Liu Wenzhe would fall into the hands of the three princes, so as to use it for him, but although this trap was set, the prey was not caught in the end, although the three princes were angry, they did not want to carry on the endgame, who knew that his guards found such an interesting thing and such a thing at this time.
With a little smile in his phoenix eyes, the third prince waved his hand to let all the Yunzhou officials leave, and then gave the guards around him a look, signaling him to send Jing Mofeng and the others away, only the people from Liufu were left, and he walked towards Liu Wenzhe.
"Lord Liu, there was a misunderstanding before, but now Lord Liu should explain what this is, or should Miss Liu explain it?"
At the same time as the third prince spoke, the guards brought over a mother-in-law and a maid, the mother-in-law seemed to be the kitchen cook, and brought a few plates of dishes that had just been fried and had not yet had time to come up, and the maid seemed to be the little maid of Hongxi Pavilion in Liu Mengxi.
Seeing this, Liu Mengxi's body shook again, and she wanted to kneel on the ground as soon as her knees were weak, but Ling Qingrui, who had noticed her for a long time, reached out and grabbed her, so she didn't kneel down directly.
I saw her pale face, trembling lips, where could she still say a word, and Liu Mengyan also looked at her in surprise, obviously when Liu Mengxi did this stupid thing, even Liu Mengyan didn't tell her.
Not wanting to involve the entire Liu Mansion because of Liu Mengxi's stupidity, Ling Qingrui gently piled Liu Mengxi up, let her lean into Liu Mengyan's arms, and slowly stepped forward and said: "The courtier's sister is not worthy of the royal majesty of the third prince, I'm afraid she can't explain anything, can the courtier's daughter ask on behalf of the sister, what happened?" ”
The third prince's gaze fell on Ling Qingrui, and he didn't answer, but the guards beside him told what happened.
It turned out that these guards had been ordered to search the entire Liufu before, and when they searched the kitchen, they happened to see the cook take advantage of no one's attention and sprinkle some powder into the dishes that were about to be delivered, and the guards immediately took down the cook and forced her to ask if she was poisoning.
The cook couldn't help but be frightened, and soon recruited it, saying that the eldest lady ordered the little maid to bring it, not highly poisonous, but the kind of aphrodisiac medicine!
The guards were neat with their hands and feet, and soon took the maid in the kitchen's mouth and sent it to the third prince.
After listening, Liu Wenzhe looked at Liu Mengxi with an expression of wanting to strangle her, and was so frightened that Liu Mengxi shrank into Liu Mengyan's arms even more fearfully, after what happened just now, she also realized what kind of stupid thing she had done, and she couldn't admit it if she was killed at this time, so although she was trembling all over, she bit her lip tightly and didn't speak.
Although Ling Qingrui's face also sank, she didn't look at Liu Mengxi, she looked at the third prince and said, "Please also ask the third highness to allow the courtiers to take a look at the package of medicinal powder?" ”
The third prince glanced at Ling Qingrui, and with a slight wave of his hand, the guard gave the paper package in his hand to Ling Qingrui.
Ling Qingrui slowly opened the paper bag, but her fingers trembled slightly under the cover of her sleeves, and when the powder in the paper bag was completely presented in front of Ling Qingrui, Ling Qingrui really had the urge to slap this bag of powder on Liu Mengxi's face on the spot, and let her swallow all the powder!
These powders not only have that effect, but they will also make people addicted after only three uses, and they will be inseparable from this thing from now on, how ...... is this Liu Mengxi
There was hatred in her heart, but Ling Qingrui didn't have a superfluous expression on her face, she just nodded to indicate that she had seen it, and then wrapped it up and handed it to the guard.
"The courtier wants to ask this cook and maid, I wonder if His Royal Highness can allow it?" Ling Qingrui quietly moved her hands and feet in the paper bag, and then asked.
"Yes." The phoenix eyes of the three princes showed a look of extraordinary meaning.
After Ling Qingrui thanked the third prince, she came to the maid and asked, "You said that the eldest lady handed you the paper package, didn't you?" ”
The maid shuddered and replied, "Yes." ”
"Did the eldest lady tell you what is in this?"
"I didn't ...... No, the eldest lady just, just said that the slave maid should be handed over to Aunt Du in the kitchen, and let her put this in the ...... Under ......"
The maid trembled and said two "down" in a row, but she couldn't say anything after that, and her eyes looked around in fear, as if she was looking for something that could be her lifeline.
Ling Qingrui nodded slightly, and didn't force her, walked in front of the cook, leaned over slightly and asked, "Then you come and tell me, where is this bag of powder going down?" ”
The cook was also trembling and speechless, Ling Qingrui's lips hooked up a smile, with an inexplicable sense of reassurance, and said: "Then let me change the question, since it is in the dishes, then it must be sent to the banquet in the front yard, how can you guarantee that these dishes will definitely be delivered to the person's case, not in front of others?" ”
Seeing that the cook still didn't speak, Ling Qingrui took out a lancet and gently put it on her neck, so frightened that the cook was about to scream, but she was so frightened by Ling Qingrui's next moment of action that she swallowed it back alive, because the lancet was just in her open mouth!
The guards of the three princes mistakenly thought that Ling Qingrui was going to kill people and destroy their mouths, and hurriedly stepped forward, but was stopped by the three princes, he wanted to see what kind of ability this woman had, and turn things around with conclusive evidence.
"Don't shout, don't shout, tell the truth, or your tongue will be separated from you next time, understand?" Ling Qingrui frightened the cook, and then slowly withdrew the lancet from her mouth, but did not withdraw it from her sleeve, but continued to hold it in her hand, occasionally turning it around.
The cook was frightened, and hurriedly poured beans into a bamboo tube and said: "The slave maid just obeyed the order, let these powders be placed in the dishes ready to be sent to the Fifth Highness, and then put a square on the vegetable leaves as a mark, and the slave and maid really don't know what happened next." ”
Asked this, Ling Qingrui suddenly had a faint smile on her lips, turned around, and said neatly: "Third Highness, the courtiers have finished asking." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, even the phoenix eyes of the third prince couldn't help but pick slightly, although everyone didn't know the details, but there was not much difference between what the guards said, this woman asked this, what did she want to do?
"By the way," Ling Qingrui had just taken a step and stopped, "Who of you two knows what's in this paper bag?" ”
The maid and the cook all shook their heads dumbly.
The pear vortex on the side of her cheeks loomed, Ling Qingrui's gaze fell on the guards of the third prince, and she said softly: "Who can tell me, who said that the paper bag is an aphrodisiac?" ”
One of the guards stepped forward and said, "Me! ”
"Well, I can tell you with certainty that you admit your mistake."
Ling Qingrui's fluttering words almost crooked the guard's nose, if it weren't for the third prince in front of him, I'm afraid he would have been furious at this time, even so, the guard said in a very bad tone: "What do you know as a boudoir woman?" When I followed His Highness from birth to death, you were still a little doll who could only eat milk! How dare you speak out here? What kind of thing I have never seen would be mistaken for such a simple drug, it is a joke! ”
The guards jumped to their feet angrily, but Ling Qingrui was silent, but the bottom of the third prince's heart suddenly "chuckled", although he had only met this woman twice, he also knew that she would never be untargeted, he suddenly reacted that he had done something wrong, that is, he should not agree to let her check the package of powder, I am afraid that this woman's inquiry is just delaying time, at this time......
At his command, the guard took the packet of powder again, and after opening it, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and the third prince knew that his idea just now was not wrong, and the packet of powder was no longer an aphrodisiac drug at this time.
"This ...... How so? Who replaced the thing? It's you! The guard suddenly looked at Ling Qingrui.
Ling Qingrui shrugged her shoulders slightly, and said, "Third Highness, the courtiers don't have the ability to change things in front of everyone, are the guards of the Third Highness angry and start to frame people indiscriminately because they admit their mistakes?" ”
How would the guards admit it? At the moment, he was still arguing, but when he saw that the third prince waved his hand slightly, he had to reluctantly stop his mouth, and glared at Ling Qingrui angrily.
At this time, the entanglement is obviously meaningless, the most important physical evidence has been destroyed, Liu Wenzhe is no longer able to be held in his hands, and the third prince is going to leave with someone at the moment.
Before stepping into the courtyard gate, the third prince suddenly looked back and asked, "What did Miss Rui say was in that paper bag?" ”
"It's just a packet of powder for medicinal food to clear the liver fire."
The third prince nodded slightly, a glint of unknown meaning flashed in his phoenix eyes, and he turned to leave.
After the third prince and his guards all left, Liu Mengxi sat on the ground with a "poof", her face was full of happiness for the rest of her life, but she soon understood that this matter was for the entire Liufu for the rest of her life, and for her, the matter was far from over!
If it weren't for Ling Qingrui taking advantage of the opportunity to sprinkle the little bit of medicinal powder that she had worked so hard to make before, mixed with the original medicinal powder, changing the medicinal effect and medicinal properties, I am afraid that today's incident would drag the entire Liufu into the power of the three princes.
The gloomy and scheming third prince, compared with the reckless and irascible second prince, the cold fourth prince and the mediocre fifth prince, is more likely to sit on the throne of the crown prince, but is this road to succession so easy to walk?
Once Liufu becomes one of the forces of the Three Princes, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the day when I become famous, and I will first put the entire Liufu into it!
That night, under Aunt Shen's hard begging, Liu Mengxi was able to escape with her life.
On the other hand, Ling Qingrui received dozens of rare herbs sent by Jing Mofeng before leaving, as well as ......
