Chapter Seventy-Two: Conspiracy and Calculation

In the nervous gaze of Zhu Ye and Zhuqing, the crown princess successfully walked to the side of the she-wolf. What was shocking was that the rest of the wolves were all looking at the crown princess with fierce eyes, and did not make an attacking move.

When Zhuye and Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief, the crown princess had already squatted down beside the she-wolf, and her palm slowly stroked the she-wolf's belly.

With the stroking action, the crown princess's brows furrowed more and more, and then repeated the movements on the she-wolf's stomach again and again.

Finally, two quarters of an hour later, when Zhuye Zhuqing was in a cold sweat and the crown princess was in a hot sweat, with a wail from the she-wolf, a little wolf cub was born.

The wolves all rioted, but they stopped with the birth of the wolf cubs.

The crown princess won the trust and gratitude of the wolf king, and it took the lead in prostrate down at the crown princess, and the other wolves also prostrate down to the crown princess.

The crown princess was inspired to continue massaging the she-wolf's belly, and finally after an hour, the she-wolf successfully gave birth to five wolf cubs.

After confirming that there were no wolf cubs in the womb of the she-wolf, the crown princess stood up and walked towards Zhuye Zhuqing a little tiredly.

"Let's go!" The crown princess indifferently commanded.

"But...... Mother, your clothes are stained with wolf blood. Zhu Qing's face was sad.

"It's okay, there are clothes on the carriage, just change them later, and I won't go to Bodhi Temple today. Let's go home! The crown princess so commanded, and walked to the front.

After the three masters and servants left, two figures flashed out of the lush bushes, and one of them said with a coquel smile, "I didn't expect Chu Lingxuan's woman to be so bold. ”

The other also smiled, "Such a woman, not only the prince of Western Chu likes it, but also the prince of this country." ”

This person's tone was very arrogant, and listening to that tone, it seemed that he was not from the Western Chu Kingdom.

In the Bodhi Temple, the guards replied to the prince, "Your Highness, the princess and the maid have not yet gone up the mountain, the carriage has arrived on the mountain, and the subordinates asked the coachman, it is the princess who wants to go." ”

"Where's the Dark Guard?" The prince asked coldly.

The guard was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "The crown princess was originally with His Royal Highness, so there was no special arrangement for the secret guard. ”

The prince's face changed, "What did you say?" ”

At this time, another secret guard appeared, "Returning to Your Highness, my subordinates have found traces of the prince of Tanglin near the Bodhi Temple. ”

The prince's face changed drastically, "Send someone to find the princess." ”

"Yes." The Dark Guard vanished in an instant.

When the crown princess and her two maids swaggered from the small mountain road to the main road, His Royal Highness the crown prince quickly rushed over.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw the blood on the Crown Princess's hands and sleeves of her clothes at a glance, and while worried, she came to the Crown Princess's side in a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Where are you injured?" ”

The crown princess was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the crown prince misunderstood, I was not injured, and the blood on my body was wolf blood." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the Crown Princess into his arms, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's not good for me, I shouldn't be angry with you." ”

The crown princess was full of doubts, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong?" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not explain, but said, "It's not early, let's go back to the house first!" ”

The crown princess nodded, "I thought the same way, after all, it is a great disrespect to the Buddha to worship the Buddha with dirty blood." ”

"Let's go back!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said heavily, and then hugged the Crown Princess into the carriage without saying anything.

When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he went straight to Hui Yaxuan, and as soon as the Crown Princess finished bathing and changing, the side concubine Niangniang came later.

The side concubine brought her own handmade pastry, "The crown princess is to your liking when you try this pastry?" ”

The crown princess smiled slightly, then picked up a piece of pastry and wanted to put it in her mouth. But at this time, a little maid beside the side concubine suddenly knelt down, "Princess, this pastry is poisonous, you can't eat it!" ”

The crown princess immediately put down the pastry and asked sharply, "What did you say?" ”

"Concubine Fang, what's going on?"

The side concubine also looked shocked, and even kicked the little girl to the ground, "Little hoof, you dare to slander me, who did you receive?" ”

The sharp pain in the chest of the little maid ninja, the pain in the ninja's knee crawled to the feet of the crown princess, "The princess Niangniang, what the slave said is true, please the princess Niangniang." ”

After saying this, the little maid fainted in time.

The crown princess glanced at the side concubine with a deep face, and the side concubine hurriedly argued, "The crown princess must not listen to this cheap girl!" ”

The crown princess just said lightly, "Zhuqing, come and take a look." ”

Zhu Qing stepped forward, carefully inspected the pastries, and then replied respectfully, "Niangniang, these pastries have arsenic added to them." ”

As soon as Zhu Qing said this, the whole room showed shocked expressions, and Nuan Jin came at this time, "Arsenic? ”

Nuan Jin hurriedly walked in from the door, "What arsenic?" ”

Zhu Ye explained to Nuan Jin, "The pastry made by the side concubine Niangniang for the crown princess Niangniang was filled with arsenic. ”

Concubine Niangniang explained with a panicked face, "I didn't do it, someone definitely framed me, and I asked the princess Niangniang to find out and return my innocence." ”

Nuan Jin suggested on the side, "Princess, this matter is very important, why don't you invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over!" ”

The crown princess thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Zhuye, you go back to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The side concubine looked panicked, and looked at the little maid who fainted on the ground with an angry face. She knew that she was being calculated, but who was the one who calculated her?

This little girl, or Nuan Jin, or the crown princess?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince soon arrived, and brought a doctor. After inspecting the pastry, the doctor came to the same conclusion as Zhuqing, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, arsenic is indeed in this pastry." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the side concubine coldly, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The side concubine immediately knelt down, "This matter is definitely not done by me, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to know it." ”

The crown princess said in a timely manner, "The side concubine just said that this pastry was made by herself, so the side concubine should think about who else handled this pastry, if it can't be found, the palace can't help but suspect the side concubine." ”

The eldest maid beside the side concubine immediately said, "When the side concubine made pastries, the maids of Jinseju all helped, if you say that you handle it, none of the maids of Jinseju can escape." ”

"And this little maid obviously betrayed the side concubine, if you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, you have to start with this maid."

A big girl beside the side concubine said in a clear and coherent manner. It made everyone look up. It seems that the side concubine also has a wise tank around her.

Zhu Ye also stood up at this time, "Since the maids of Jinseju have all been handled, then they are all suspicious, if this matter is not done by the side concubine Niangniang, then it is naturally done by the people around the side concubine Niangniang, and please ask the side concubine Niangniang to find out the matter clearly." ”

The side concubine pointed to the unconscious little maid lying on the ground and said, "This little hoof was punished by me for doing something wrong yesterday, and because she resented me in her heart, she deliberately designed to harm me, and she must have done it." ”

The side concubine said this, still full of anger.

However, the eldest maid beside the side concubine said, "Please also ask the princess to torture this little maid, and after the punishment, she will be recruited." ”

The crown princess smiled when she heard this, "This little maid is the person next to the side concubine, if this matter is really done by this little girl, if it is not done by this little maid, wouldn't this palace hit the wrong person next to the side concubine?" ”

"The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, since you are the person of the side concubine, please ask the side concubine to interrogate!"

The crown princess said this lightly, and drank tea as if nothing happened.

The side concubine Niangniang gritted her teeth with hatred, but she could only order the little maid to be tortured by herself. It's just that the little maid shouted loudly before being punished, "Crown princess Niangniang, this matter is done by the side concubine Niangniang who resents you." The slave and maid knew that they could only die if they betrayed the side concubine, but the slave and maid couldn't watch the side concubine Niangniang harm people, and asked the princess to give the slave and maid justice. ”

After the little maid shouted this, she killed herself by biting the poison.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the side concubine coldly, "How else do you explain this matter?" ”

The side concubine Niangniang knelt on the ground with a panicked face, "The concubine has been wronged, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to know it." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered with a tired face, "Confine the side concubine to Jinseju, and don't let it out without my order." ”

The side concubine's face was decadent and desperate, and she could only plead bitterly, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine body has really been wronged!" ”

But the people in the prince's mansion couldn't help but take the side concubine down.

Nuan Jin timidly stepped forward and saluted, "The concubine retired first." ”

After everyone else left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled evilly, "This play, but it's good-looking?" ”

The crown princess smiled indifferently, "It's just pushing the boat down the river." I still want to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"What do you see?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked.

The crown princess Niangniang had a clear look on her face, "I also know a little about pharmacology, and that pastry is poisonous, I know it myself." ”

"As for that little maid, she should have hated the side concubine, so she deliberately designed this one."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said, "You haven't doubted Nuan Jin?" ”

"Nuan Jin?" The crown princess said suspiciously, "Nuan Jin doesn't have such a big ability, so she can take the concubine's people for her own use so quickly." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "What if the little maid took the initiative to find Nuan Jin?" ”

"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know something?" The crown princess asked eagerly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just smiled indifferently, "As far as I know, that little maid is not a child of the family, and the little maid's family has been arranged." Who else do you think will help that little girl? ”

The crown princess's face was dark, and she said after a long time, "I know, thank you for telling him." ”

"And what are you going to do?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked.

The crown princess said calmly, "Naturally, I will "invite" her out of the house, I will give her a chance, I hope she will not toast or eat and drink!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head slightly, "You're still too soft-hearted. ”
