The handsome and lifeless face was full of gloom about to come from the mountain rain, and the bright candlelight fell on his white face, and his forehead was full of green tendons, like a green worm entrenched there, just waiting to break out of the cocoon.

"Say! Pour it out for this king, who asked you to poison the medicine of the concubine, you say! Say! Apparently impatient with the dementia-blinded Malvid, he grabbed her neck, his knuckles turning white with exertion.

Zhou Cheng saw that mallow was about to be strangled to death, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, "Lord Wang, if you pinch it again, you will really strangle to death." If she died, she wouldn't be able to ask anything. Oh, my lord, you can dissipate your anger, let's take our time for everything, don't be angry, that slave can't afford to eat! ”

Where would Jing Rong listen to persuasion at this time, he waved Zhou Cheng away with one hand, directly shook him to the ground, and strangled Mallow's neck more and more vigorously with one hand, his eyes were bloodshot, with thunder and fire, and shouted loudly: "Do you say it or not!" ”

Mallow's breathing became thinner and thinner, and she even rolled her eyes, but a smile was on her lips. The smile was so indifferent, so calm, as if it was not going to die, but to be liberated from the heart.

Suddenly, Jingrong's fingers loosened, and the white fingers clenched tightly into a fist, making a "creaking" sound.

Mallow suddenly breathed, like a fish out of water breathing air, accompanied by a coughing sound of "cough, cough, cough", as if it was about to vomit blood. She was prostrate on the ground, her upper arms propped up and trembling.

There was a momentary silence, as if time stood still in this moment.

The cough slowly decreases until it disappears. Malallow Huo Ran raised his head, looked at Jingrong, and only smiled. This laughter is like the pain accumulated in my heart for several years, vividly and vividly, and it seems to be mixed with endless sadness and despair.

Her eyes were no longer cloudy before, like the bright moonlight after the thick fog was lifted, bright and energetic.

The tears in her eyes hit the back of her hand one by one, burning like fire, only to hear her throat dry and dumb, as if there were grains of sand piled up in her throat, "The princess has always been kind and gentle, and she has always been kind and pleasant to us, and she will not beat and scold us." She will give a reward during the New Year's holidays, or know which of us has any difficulties, as long as she can help us. I've never seen a better master than her. ”

The back of her hand felt like it had been burned by wildfire, and it burned her heart. Mallow stopped, gritted her teeth, and cried, as if she was choked in her throat by tears, which made her unable to breathe, "But I was blinded by wealth and glory, lost my mind, and thought that I could turn over and become a master, and I would never have to be a slave to others again." I took advantage of the princess's illness to make tea in King Yu's tea, and I achieved good things with King Yu. Although I have a skin-to-skin relationship, the prince doesn't like me, and just rewards me with the title of a room, but he still serves in the princess's room. ”

Her soft jaw was dripping with tears, and the candle was red, and the tears turned orange. Mallow knelt up slightly, trying her best to calm down, calmed down, and said in a dumb voice: "I am unwilling in my heart, unwilling to serve others, and even more unbearable to be whispered and pointed at by other people in the house. But what can I do, I'm just a subordinate, the prince doesn't like me, because of this, even the princess is a little lighter to me, and others look down on me, exclude me, and even speak sneeringly, scolding me for being shameless, taking advantage of the inconvenience of the master, even the master is seduced, and there is no difference between the cheap woman in the hook bar. ”

"I really regretted it at the time, but it was too late and there was no going back. I wanted to die, but I didn't want to meet her when I wanted to throw myself into the well. That woman saved me, but killed me. She bewitched me, induced me, and seduced me again and again, saying that as long as I could help her get rid of the princess, she would allow me to be a side concubine. Such temptations are too great, big ones make me lose and let me be favored by the trend of interests. ”

Jing Rong's face was like a layer of white paint, without a trace of blood. He shook his body and staggered a step, but fortunately Zhou Cheng supported him. "Who is that person? How did you kill my mother? ”

"It just so happened that the princess was in poor health at that time and needed daily medication, so she asked me to add some heavy medicine to the princess's medicine. The princess's illness was only a minor illness of the cold and flu, but because of the combination of those few medicines and the medicine prescribed by the doctor, she died not long after. Mallow raised her head, her eyes were unusually bright, her face was hideous and distorted, and her voice was hoarse, but with hatred, "It's Concubine Li, it's her, it's she who gave me medicine, it's she who asked me to kill the princess, it's her!" Her face was full of tears, like tears pouring out of a spring, and it was impossible to distinguish between the whites of her eyes and the kernels of her eyes.

The face of the scene is like dead ashes, and the chest is like a wave of waves, undulating. If it weren't for Zhou Cheng's support, he wouldn't even have the strength to stand. His painfully twisted face was heartbreaking. It was as if someone had poured ice water on the top of his head in the depths of winter, and the bone-eroding chill spread from his hair to his limbs little by little. The green tendons bursting out of her temples became more and more obvious, Jing Rong pointed at her, gritted her teeth and said, "You vicious women! They're all ungrateful sluts! What's the matter with the nurse? You killed it, didn't you? ”

Mallow face was deeply remorseful and sad, she eased her breath, pulled out of the painful memories, hung her head deeply, shook her head again and again, her voice had changed its taste, and there was forbearance in her wail, "I hurt her, I hurt her." If it weren't for me, the nurse wouldn't have died. ”

Her breathing was short and rapid, and the candlelight flickered on her pale face, "Ever since the death of the Princess, I have been terrified, and every night I dream that the Princess's ghost has come to me to ask for her life. I can't sleep and eat every day, and I can't extricate myself from a nightmare. For the sake of peace of mind, I specially asked a Taoist priest to do the Dharma for me, and he asked me to write a confession and burn it to the princess, so as to calm the princess's soul. As he said, I secretly burned paper money for the princess on the first seven days of the princess, not wanting to be heard by the nurse when I confessed. The nurse not only heard me, but also snatched the confession and the prescription that Li asked me, and then she went to find Concubine Li. ”

"And then she was killed by the Li family, right?" Jing Rong smiled coldly and looked at her indifferently.

Mallow's whole body was paralyzed on the ground, she was as thin as firewood, and now she was even more unbearable, like autumn leaves falling with the wind, and she was completely lifeless. There was a dead silence in her empty eyes, she closed her eyes and sighed softly, "I secretly hid in the dark, not daring to come out, but I watched Concubine Li torture the nurse in every way in order to force the nurse to take out the confession and prescription I wrote, and finally she saw that the nurse was stubborn, and in a fit of anger, she actually pried open the nurse's head and poured mercury into it." Later, she asked the nurse to be thrown into a mass grave, I knew that I was guilty, and I couldn't bear the nurse's body to be eaten by the vicious dog Wild Eagle, so I secretly brought the nurse back to the palace, I knew that there was an ice cellar in the ancestral hall, so I hid the nurse in that. I knew that I was being used and I couldn't escape death, so I wanted to tell the prince all this. But at that time, the prince was anxious because of the matter with the new princess, and Concubine Li was afraid that I would tell the truth, so she kept looking for an opportunity to get rid of me, and she would not let me appear in front of King Yu. In order to save my life, I had to pretend to be crazy and stupid, so I escaped. ”

"Where are the confessions and prescriptions?" Jing Rong's eyebrows were twisted into the word "Sichuan", and his eyes were like cold, like ice picks on the eaves in the wax moon, sharp and cold.

Mallow shook her head, "I've been looking for so many years, but I haven't found anything. Her eyes gradually lit up with a layer of light, as if there was some hope that ignited the longing in her heart, she looked straight at Jingrong, and her voice seemed a little eager, "However, that Hanxiang seems to have found it, but the slave maid has been to her room and has not found it." ”

The light in the dark pupils of the scenery gradually condensed, like the only star in the boundless night sky, he looked back at the mallow gaze, "You have been hiding in the dark, what do you want?" ”

Mallow looked at it calmly, with a firm expression, without a trace of flinching, "The slave made a big mistake because of greed, killed the princess, killed the nurse, and was condemned by conscience all day long. I wanted to follow the princess to make up for the mistakes of the slave maid. But as soon as she thought that she was really fierce and could not let the princess's soul rest in peace, the slave maid thought that she would leave this cheap life, so that one day she would avenge the princess. Therefore, the slave maid has been looking for an opportunity, hoping to find evidence of the crime, to make Concubine Li's crime public, so that she can get the punishment she deserves. But the slave and maid searched for many years, but they did not find the prescription.

Jing Rong suppressed the resentment in his heart, he knew that if he wanted to identify the Li family, Mallow could not die at this moment. Swallowing the hatred surging in his chest with great effort, he said in a deep voice: "In that case, why do you want to burn the ancestral hall? ”

"It is precisely because of Hanxiang's death that the slave maid sees hope." Mallow was a little excited in her mood, and she clenched her hands into fists on the ground, "Since Concubine Li came back, I have been watching her day and night. That day, I heard with my own ears that Hanxiang threatened to let Concubine Li's son marry her into the door with a confession and a prescription. It's just that Concubine Li is such a vicious person, how could she comply, so she directly strangled Hanxiang to death. turned Hanxiang's room upside down, but didn't find the evidence. Later, while Concubine Li was leaving, the slave maid also checked it, but also found nothing. She paused and smiled, revealing misery and sadness, "The cycle of heavenly reason, retribution is unpleasant, the slave maid is seriously ill, and she can't live long, and the slave maid can't catch the murderer for the princess before she dies." If the real murderer escapes, what will the slave and maid look like after death to see the princess again. So the slave and maid burned down the ancestral hall and brought out the hidden corpse of the nurse. The sky has eyes, and although Concubine Li tortured the nurse to death, she also left fatal evidence. As long as the prince recognizes the nurse, he will definitely look through the events of the year. ”

"How can you still see the king's mother, a person like you should go to the eighteenth layer of hell, and you will never be able to live beyond the world." Jing Rong's voice was clear and sporadic like broken ice, and there was endless ruthlessness surging on Qing Jun's face, "Do you think that if you say a few pitiful words, this king will let you go?"
