Chapter 217: Reason

After the jade comb finished speaking, his face returned to calm, as if he was just waiting to be disposed of.

The eldest princess of Deqing didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that she would fulfill the evil deeds of the jade comb, "Your courage is really broken! After doing such a thing, you dare to take the initiative to report it?"

Yucomb was expressionless, and said, "Linglong's feet are smaller than mine, I wore her shoes that didn't fit, and I ran to the palace banquet and ran back to the Furong Palace, and my feet were worn out, but I didn't expect the eldest princess to be as careful as a hair, and even noticed this."

Her nonchalant attitude seemed to greatly irritate the emperor, and he shouted, "You evil slave, why do you want to sit down for such evil things!"

"Hmph, for the sake of glory and wealth, Pan Yuerong left behind her childhood sweetheart's fiancé! He also poisoned him! If you don't kill her, how can you relieve the hatred in my heart?"

Pan Jingfu and Tan's faces immediately changed drastically, and Tan immediately accused, "Yucomb, what nonsense are you talking about!"

With a shout of questioning, the eyes of everyone present were drawn to the couple, and the anger on their faces was immediately mixed with a bit of incomprehensible weakness and embarrassment.

Hearing this reprimand, Yucomb wanted to ridicule back, but heard Mrs. Yu take the lead and say, "I don't think she's talking nonsense!"

Tan glanced at her and wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to say more.

The emperor frowned and looked at Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, the Pan Mansion and the Yu family are world friends, and Lord Yu has released his foreign post at this time, this is Mrs. Yu."

The emperor squinted at Mrs. Yu and said, "The fiancé of Fang Caiyu's childhood sweetheart must be the son of Yu Mansion?"

Mrs. Yu is just a native of Liupin'an, and she has never met the holy driver, so she is a little frightened, she bows to the ground, and respectfully says: "Courtesy Wang, please say hello to the emperor, please say hello to the noble concubine, and ask for peace to the eldest princess."

The emperor was silent with a calm face.

The eldest princess of Deqing looked at Li Qingyi: "They don't say a word to me, and they can't say it clearly for a while. It's better for you to tell."

Li Qingyi knew what the eldest princess of Deqing meant.

If this matter is explained by Yucomb and others, it will inevitably be mixed with some personal emotions, and maybe if you say something nonsense, it will hurt the royal face.

Let her say it, it's to let her be in control.

"Yes." Li Qingyi bowed and saluted, then turned around and glanced at Mrs. Yu and the jade comb, and said, "This matter is complicated, and it has to start before the good nobles enter the palace."

She took out a prescription from her sleeve, but did not open it, and said, "In the process of finding the murderer, the courtiers went to the Pan Mansion to inquire, and unexpectedly learned that the good nobleman and the son of the Yu Mansion once had a family affair that was finger-informed, however, this family affair ended because of the sudden illness of the son of Yu. This suspicion came from Yu Gongzi's illness."

"Yu Gongzi originally just had a small cold, but after the good nobleman visited with his mother, he suddenly became seriously ill, and then he became stupid, and the medicine was ineffective. When Pan Fu learned about it, he wanted to withdraw from his family. It didn't take long for the good nobles to enter the palace. As a result, Mrs. Yu was suspicious in her heart, thinking that the good nobles were trying to cling to the glory and did not want to bear the infamy, so she secretly harmed Yu Gongzi and wanted to ruin this family business."

Speaking of this, Li Qingyi seemed to know that someone had something to say, so he paused.

Sure enough, the mother of the good nobleman, Tan Shi, gritted her teeth and said, "Wang, you and I have been friends for many years, your son is seriously ill, and we are also very heartbroken, however, how can this be blamed on us. With your slightest suspicion, are you going to tarnish our friendship for many years?"

Mrs. Yu glanced at her, but just said, "It's better to wait for Miss Li to finish speaking, and she will have her own conclusion."

Tan's punch fell on the cotton like a light flutter, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.

Li Qingyi glanced at the two of them and continued, "On that day, the maidservants who followed the good nobles were Linglong and a girl named Hongdou. Red Beans once helped decoction the medicine, so Mrs. Yu left the medicine residue for someone to check, but found nothing. But Mrs. Yu was unwilling, and went to the Pan Mansion to ask for an explanation, only to learn that the red bean had died in the well."

Li Qingyi didn't mention the emperor at all, everything was explained one by one from the perspective of a good nobleman.

The eldest princess of Deqing was very satisfied with her

It's very good.

Maybe it's because this incident can make the emperor understand that the good nobleman is far from Ruying in his heart, just a woman who covets glory and murders her fiancé.

This can undoubtedly greatly alleviate the emperor's anger, so the eldest princess of Deqing sneered very cooperatively: "It's very coincidental."

"It's a coincidence. But although Mrs. Yu was more suspicious, she suffered from the lack of evidence. I was also worried about my son's illness, so the matter was put on hold."

Li Qingyi saw that Yucomb's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and unfolded the paper in his hand: "Yu Gongzi's illness has not improved until one day, Mrs. Yu received a letter and a prescription."

Because Li Qingyi had already shown the letter to everyone as evidence, Cui Chun immediately figured out the joint when he saw the prescription, and asked, "Could it be that this prescription was sent by the jade comb?"

"Exactly, after all, Yucomb has been by the side of the noble person for a long time, and he knows that Hongdou's sister-in-law knows a little about pharmacology, so he made a secret visit and finally found out the reason why Yu Gongzi was stupid."

Li Qingyi looked at the jade comb and said, "Jade comb, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Yucomb shook his head with tears, and his expression was extremely sad: "You are right, I, like Mrs. Yu, suspect that Pan Yuerong murdered Gongzi Yu in order to enter the palace for the draft. So, I coaxed and frightened and found out the truth from Hongdou's sister-in-law. It turned out that Hongdou didn't understand pharmacology herself, so she asked her eldest sister-in-law for ideas......

"I threatened her sister-in-law, Liu, that if she didn't say that her son had been harmed by something, she would announce the matter to others. So, she told me that it was the red bean that added a little hook to Childe's medicine......

"Because Pan Yuerong had already noticed my thoughts about my son, and was afraid that I would do bad things, so she found a reason to leave me in the mansion that day and brought red beans over. Hongdou took advantage of Yu Gongzi's maidservant to be unprepared, and put the hook kiss prepared in advance into the medicine. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Yu Gongzi couldn't stop coughing at that time, and accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl, so he only drank a small sip of the medicine, and most of it spit out with the cough."

Everyone present had more or less heard of Hook Kiss and sighed, "Hook Kiss is highly poisonous, this Yu Gongzi is really fatal, but why did he become stupid?"

Li Qingyi explained: "Red Beans know that the hook kiss is extremely toxic, and they are afraid that people will find out, so they only put a small amount, but it is enough to be fatal, but who would have thought that there would be an accident. He did have a great life, but it was a pity that even if he was only stained with a very small amount of hook and kiss flower juice, he still broke his heart, his limbs were weak, and his speech was slurred, like a child. Therefore, everyone thought that he had burned out his brain by a cold and high fever, but in fact, it was caused by a small amount of toxic residue from the hook kiss." c

The eldest princess of Deqing glanced at the silent emperor and asked, "So, it is indeed a good nobleman who instructed the red beans to do something in the child's medicine?" But Mrs. Yu once looked for someone to see the prescription, why didn't she find out what the problem was?"

Mrs. Yu once went to Pan's Mansion ***, so many people have heard about the relationship between the two families and the stupidity of Yu Gongzi.

Therefore, she took the medicine residue to ask Lang Zhong, and people didn't dare to say much, but they were afraid of getting into trouble, so after a cursory look, they said perfunctorily that there was no problem.

Of course, Li Qingyi would not take trouble to elaborate on the reason for this, but just ordered someone to present the medicine residue and said, "There is indeed no problem with this medicine at a glance, only a very experienced person can find that there is a lot of article in it."

"In the prescription that Lang Zhong prescribed to Yu Gongzi, there is a honeysuckle. Honeysuckle flowers are sweet and cold, clear heat and detoxify, and almost all kinds of wind and cold recipes have a blind honeysuckle. And the hook nose flower, the root is light yellow and has a sweet taste. The whole plant is poisonous, especially the young shoots and young leaves. The poisoned person has weak limbs, slurred speech, and blurred vision, which is very similar to the appearance of honeysuckle. You can tell the difference between the two when they're fresh, but they're hard to tell when they're dried."

The eldest princess of Deqing immediately ordered someone to call a imperial doctor to come over and inspect the medicine residue, which proved that what Li Qingyi said was true.

Li Qingyi ordered the messenger to bring Hongdou's sister-in-law Liu up.

Liu had already been so frightened that the six gods had no master, and they were forked to the hall by the messengers, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, only their mouths kept whispering "spare their lives".

Cui Chun saw that the human and material evidence were there, and finally had the confidence, and immediately asked Liu

said, "The emperor is here, and you still don't make everything you do clear?"

Liu had been told long before going to court that if she told the truth, she might be able to save her family's lives.

She didn't dare to hide it, and said tremblingly, "The women are guilty...... It was the woman who took the money from her sister-in-law and told her how to use a hook kiss instead of honeysuckle...... The folk woman is a ghost for a while, and her family knows nothing...... I beg the emperor to spare their lives......

"Hmph, if you really care so much about your family's life, you shouldn't do such a harmful thing!" The emperor doesn't necessarily care much about good nobles, but this matter hurts the face of the royal family, and now that he sees the culprit, where will he have a good face. "If it weren't for you! Where could there be such a turmoil!"

Liu was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and everyone hurriedly got up and bowed down to ask the emperor to calm his anger.

The emperor asked Yu Comb with a calm face, "That's why you have murderous intentions towards good nobles?"

The jade comb was tilted on the ground, supporting herself with one hand and grabbing her heart with the other: "No, the slave maid, like Mrs. Yu, was concerned about the child's condition, and learned that he was harmed by the hook kiss, and sought medical treatment everywhere but did not find a solution. But Pan Yuerong couldn't wait to enter the palace......

Her eyes were full of resentment, and she said, "The slave maid has served by Pan Yuerong's side since she was a child, and she also knows that she will marry into Yufu as a dowry girl in the future. Yu Gongzi is a talent, and I have already secretly promised to regard myself as his person. Who knows, because of a small wind chill, all expectations have been ruined."

Yu Comb held the prescription in her hand, which was the only connection between her and Yu Gongzi.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't laugh in the end, and she said, "There is no way to heaven. After I entered the palace with Pan Yuerong, I learned about this method by chance in the Tai Hospital. So he did everything possible to send a letter and prescription to Mrs. Yu...... Day and night, I was looking forward to the news of his recovery......
