Chapter Forty-Nine: Waiting for an Opportunity
Mingyue Ke pointed to Mama Xu in the courtyard of Old Taijun Ming, the one who brought her back from Yongsu City in the first place.
At this time, it was obvious that Bai Shi and Ming Mingwei were both relieved, but Ming Xiang's brows were tightly wrinkled, and he couldn't figure out the reason why Mama Xu would harm her daughter Mingyue Ke.
But soon, it didn't last long, I saw Mingyue Ke put down his hand, and muttered to himself, "No, it's not this mother-in-law... There are no small black dots in the corners of her eyes..."
The one who let Mingyue Ke lie in the coffin by himself has a mole in the corner of his eye!
Among the mothers-in-law in the Ming Mansion, there is only one person who meets such a standard, and that is Mama Wang in the courtyard of the eldest lady.
For a while, after hearing Mingyue Ke say this, everyone looked at Mama Wang in the crowd, and the Bai family, who was still kneeling on the ground, panicked.
Mama Wang was stared at by everyone, but she didn't panic, after all, she has followed the eldest lady Bai Bingzhen for many years, and more importantly, Mama Wang is actually the right-hand man sent to Bai Bingzhen by Queen Jin Weiyue.
She knows that the more panicked she is at this time, the easier it is to go wrong, and the eldest lady Mingyue Ke is just a fool after all, Mama Wang doesn't believe it, she is a fool, can she still make any waves?
"Xiangye, what's going on?" Mama Xu saw that Fang Cai Mingyue Ke pointed at her, and then muttered something, and everyone turned their eyes on Mama Wang's body again, so she was also curious for a while.
At the same time, Mama Xu was even more curious, didn't she hear that the eldest lady died suddenly early this morning, why is she standing here now?
After hearing Mama Xu's words, Ming Xiang also looked at the other party, because he has always treated Mama Xu as a life-saving benefactor and an elder, so Ming Xiang will also give Mama Xu a little more face.
I told the ins and outs of the matter.
After finishing speaking, Ming Xiang also looked at Mama Wang, and said sharply, "Dare to enslave, dare to murder the eldest lady, can you be guilty?"
"Say, who instructed you to dare to deceive the eldest lady!"
Because there are two princes and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are also present today, Ming Xiang naturally wants to be full of momentum, so he asked Mama Wang 1510.
If they weren't present today, I'm afraid that for the sake of family harmony, Ming Xiang would have punished Mama Wang slightly, and he wouldn't care about it anymore.
Because in Mingxiang's opinion, his daughter Mingyueke has also become a fool at this time, this is an unchangeable fact, there is no need to make trouble for her again.
"Xiangye, the old slave doesn't know what Xiangye is talking about, the old slave and the eldest lady have no grievances, how can they think of murdering the eldest lady?"
"Yes, father, how can Mama Wang have the heart to harm the eldest sister?" Seeing the opportunity, tomorrow Wei also stepped forward and spoke for Mama Wang.
"Besides, everyone in this house knows that Mama Wang is an old man in her mother's yard, so it must be someone in the house who deliberately framed her mother. Tomorrow, between the words of Wei San, she wants to clear the grievances on Mama Wang, and shift everyone's attention to other directions.
For a while, Ming Xiang also put away the anger on his face, and thought about it, indeed, over the years, Bai Bingzhen has been in charge of the Ming Mansion, and there must be people in the Ming Mansion who are not convinced, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take this opportunity to stumble on the Bai family.
However, then again, Ke'er had just returned from Yongsu City, and now he was a fool, why did he bring her in for no reason.
"Then what do you mean, Ke'er is lying and deceiving people?" When everyone else was still thinking, the prince Xiao Shaojun said to Ming Ming Wei questioning, and the tone was extremely cold, which scared Ming Wei to retreat again and again.
What a person who doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade! Tomorrow Wei looked at the handsome Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of her, and she originally had a little good impression, but now it is gone.
She couldn't understand what she was not as good as the fool Mingyue Ke in front of her, but she could be protected by so many people, obviously she was the first beauty in the imperial capital tomorrow, and she also had the title of the first talented woman in the north, why did these men protect her when they saw Mingyue Ke one by one?
Tomorrow Wei is not reconciled.
"It's hard to guarantee that Sister Ke is wrong, after all, everyone understands the bad people here. Tomorrow Wei pointed her finger, and then said to the prince in front of her, there was a bit of ridicule in her words, but these words were not as straightforward as the third prince Xiao Hongbin.
Although the crown prince Xiao Shaojun frowned and was a little unhappy after hearing this, but tomorrow Wei said it well, and it was not easy to refute.
At this time, Mingyue Ke pulled the sleeve of the prince Xiao Shaojun beside him again, and then looked at the prince Xiao Shaojun with a very aggrieved gaze, and even tears appeared in his eyes.
Xiao Hongbin, the third prince on the side of this scene, was furious, and he couldn't wait to go directly to protect Mingyue Ke.
"I didn't lie, the mother-in-law must have asked me to drink more white porridge, but I was afraid and didn't dare to drink it. Mingyue Ke blinked his big eyes full of innocence and said to the prince Xiao Shaojun in front of him.
And now everyone can hear it clearly, and at the same time, they are all sighing, what method did this prince Xiao Shaojun use to make Mingyue Ke who was stupid rely on him so much?
At this time, Ming Xiang also regretted that he couldn't enter the Yuxin Garden with the prince Xiao Shaojun yesterday, obviously he was his daughter of Ming Guangyuan, why did he get closer to the prince?
"Mingxiang, you also heard Ke'er's words, so?" The prince stretched out his hand at this time, and hugged Mingyue Ke in his arms, and then looked at Mingxiang Mingguang in front of him.
Unconsciously, the prince's body exuded coercion, and Mingxiang's forehead continued to break out in cold sweat, His Royal Highness Xiao Shaojun in front of him was clearly the young version of Emperor Xiao Rui!
Ming Xiang felt as if he was facing the current saint, facing great pressure.
Ming Xiang wiped away the cold sweat on his body, and hurriedly said, "I'll send someone to investigate, I'll send someone to investigate." ”
After finishing speaking, Ming Xiang began to select people from the attendants who followed him to investigate the white porridge and other things used in Mingyue Ke's breakfast.
However, before he could choose a good candidate, he was stopped by the crown prince Xiao Shaojun.
"No need, go and see for yourself. The crown prince Xiao Shaojun said coldly, since he came to the Ming Mansion today, he saw Ming Xiang's actions, and he was also disappointed in Ming Xiang, this Ming Xiang is clearly biased in his heart.
What's more, the Ming Mansion has always been the eldest lady Bai Bingzhen who is in charge of the house, and the crown prince Xiao Shaojun is also worried that it will be the Bai family's people who will not pass by when the time comes, and they have secretly done something to destroy the "evidence".
Among all the people in the front yard of the entire Ming Mansion, Xiao Shaojun knew that Mingyue Ke only pretended to be crazy and stupid, so Xiao Shaojun also knew that since Mingyue Ke took the initiative to bring up this breakfast white porridge, there must be a problem in it!
Anyway, there is no need for Ming Xiang to lead the way, Xiao Shaojun has already been familiar with Yuxinyuan, so he took Mingyueke's hand and walked directly in front.
When he got out of the front hall, he felt a little cold, and even took the cloak from his subordinates and put it on for Mingyue Ke.
This scene was naturally seen by the people who followed him.
When Xiao Shaojun walked in front and was about to go to Yuxin Garden, everyone naturally followed, and even when Xiao Shaojun was halfway through, he specially ordered that the Bai family did not have to kneel again, because this matter had nothing to do with the Bai family, so he ordered Ming Xiang to take the Bai family to Yuxin Yuan together.
Originally, according to the temperament of the third prince Xiao Hongbin, how could he be willing to live behind others, let alone walk behind the crown prince Xiao Shaojun, but today is different, the third prince Xiao Hongbin is also interested in these things that happened in the Ming Mansion at this time, so he is willing to follow and take a look.
After a while, everyone came to the Yuxin Garden, and at this time, the maids in the Yuxin Garden were also gathered in the side room.
There is such a thing as the violent death of a young lady in the Ming Mansion, and these maids are naturally going to be detained and investigated.
And the crown prince Xiao Shaojun took Mingyue Ke's hand and went directly into the main house of Yuxin Garden, everything was still the same as before, there was no sign of passivity, even the leftovers were still on the table, and they had no time to clean up.
In fact, this is also deliberately done by Bai and others.
Empress Ji has promised the Bai family that no matter what, she will not find out that there is a problem in this meal.
Therefore, the Bai family also deliberately left these here, so as to clear up the "grievances".
In the morning, the Bai family did send Mama Wang to see if Mingyue Ke could eat and drink tea obediently, but so what, as long as there is no evidence, everything is easy to say.
So thinking of this, the Bai family relaxed again, she wanted to see, next, how should Mingyue Ke and His Royal Highness the Waste Prince end?
"Go check if there's anything wrong with the white porridge. The prince took Mingyue Ke's hand, sat directly on the collapse of Yuxin Garden, and then ordered the subordinates beside him.
And the manpower standing in Yuxin Garden is naturally the most noble status of His Royal Highness the Prince, so it is understandable that the other party is sitting on the collapse, and the prince did not say that they will be given a seat, of course, they only have to stand.
And Mingyue Ke has been watched and held by the crown prince Xiao Shaojun, and at this time he was even more in his arms.
Mingyue Ke doesn't like to sit on each other's laps like this, this extremely ambiguous posture will make her blush uncontrollably!
But Mingyue Ke also knows that she is now a fool, and the prince wants to make a crazy demon character to protect her wife, so the two of them are just acting, so they should simply accompany each other to act.
It's just that this kind of slaughter and being manipulated at will is really uncomfortable.
The third prince on the side naturally looked a little unsightly, but after all, he was the prince, and Xiao Shaojun was the prince, in terms of etiquette, it should indeed be so.
Although the third prince has a violent temperament, and he doesn't like the crown prince Xiao Shaojun, and even the two have been competing faintly, but on this kind of surface, he still has no less etiquette to observe.
Today's saint is the most respectful ritual, if he Xiao Hongbin transgressed the rules today, and it also reached the ears of his father, it will inevitably affect his father's opinion and evaluation of him.
Although Xiao Hongbin is the one with the worst temperament among all the princes in the eyes of everyone, in order to achieve great things, he is still extremely able to forbear, so he is also obediently standing with everyone at this time.
And after the subordinate of the prince Xiao Shaojun got the order, he stepped forward directly, took out a silver needle from his arms, and put the silver needle into the white porridge.
When I took out the silver needle again, I saw that the part of the silver needle that had submerged into the white porridge had become a piece as black as ink.
In an instant, everyone present also changed their faces.
"This..."Ming Xiang was also shocked, he really never thought that the Bai family would really dare to instigate Mama Wang to poison the meal used by Ke'er?
Seeing that the silver needle turned black, Bai Shi was so frightened that his heartbeat stopped for a beat, and then reacted, and immediately prostrate at Ming Xiang's feet, "Xiangye, this must be a misunderstanding, someone must want to frame me, so I deliberately poisoned it, and please Xiangye to find out!"
Bai Shi cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and said to Xiangye pleading.
And Xiao Shaojun, who was sitting on the top seat, still had a cold face, Ming Xiang raised his head, looked at the prince Xiao Shaojun, lowered his head again, and looked at the Bai family who was still crying on the ground, and he was also in a dilemma.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there may be a misunderstanding in this, otherwise, give the old minister some time, and he will definitely be able to find out. Ming Xiang bowed his hand and said to the prince Xiao Shaojun with reassurance.
However, when Ming Xiang said it, the prince felt that the person in his arms seemed to have changed somewhat, and he sighed in his heart.
Some people want their daughter's life, but Mingxiang is still in the fog and can't see clearly, and he doesn't even care about his daughter's safety at all.
And at this time, there was a slight light in Bai's eyes, and she knew that Ming Xiang still favored her, and as long as the prince left, how to deal with this matter behind closed doors, it was the family affair of the Ming Mansion, and when the time came, it was not what she said?
However, after listening to Ming Xiang's words, the prince did not answer, but tapped the table with his fingers, knocking on the table on the bed next to him one by one, and it was more like hitting the tips of Ming Xiang, Bai's, Ming Ming Wei and others, making them tremble.
And what does the crown prince Xiao Shaojun seem to be waiting for?
