Chapter XXXIII: Investigation
The autumn cicada did not dare to make a sound.
Last night, Nangong Ling had a seizure, and the kitchen specially ordered the lotus seed soup to be made for the medicine, but at the most critical time, Nangong Ling still pushed the witty words away and ran to find Feng Jiutian.
If this matter is mentioned again, isn't it a knife in the heart of the witty words?
"The prince has arrivedβ"
At this moment, the voice of a subordinate was heard outside.
Witty Yu put down the teacup in his hand in a panic, and quickly stood up, the expression on his face instantly changed from anger to worry.
Sure enough, the next moment, she really saw Nangong Ling's long figure turn the curtain and walk in quickly.
Immediately, the tears of the witty words fell, and he plunged into Nangong Ling's arms.
Nangong Ling pushed away the witty words last night and came here early this morning.
Who knew that as soon as he came in, Punch Words folded into his arms with red eyes?
"Yu'er?" Nangong Ling was startled, and hurriedly helped the person up, and raised her little face, only to see that the wonderful words were full of haggard faces that had not slept all night.
He couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" β
Before she could say a word, a tear fell from her eyes first, accompanied by her pale complexion, which was so moving, Nangong Ling hurriedly wiped her tears.
"Brother Ling, I'm sorry for you. I checked the bowl of lotus seed soup last night, but I didn't expect to be drugged. Punchline sobbed softly.
At this time, as early as last night, when Nangong Ling returned to reason and came out of Feng Jiu's courtyard, he had already thoroughly investigated.
"It doesn't matter." He was in a mixed mood, but he was still relieved.
He didn't doubt the punch line, after all, the lotus seed soup was sent from her, not to mention that he found out the hand of the maid in the courtyard of the punch talk.
It's just that the punchline helps him a lot, and he is the person he cherishes.
"Brother Ling, I was careless." Punch words had tears on her face, and she blamed herself, "I sent you here without checking it beforehand, and I caused you to drink this lotus seed soup and go to my sister's yard to ......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused and forced a smile: "But if you can reconcile Brother Ling and sister, it will be very good to think about it, I ......"
"There is no need to talk about this anymore." These words stabbed Nangong Ling.
He was annoyed in his heart.
Last night he was confused, he was drugged and pushed away the witty words, but he never thought that he would turn into Fengqi Courtyard and force Feng Jiutian to ......
Now he still had the woman's bite mark on his shoulder, a dull pain, as if to remind him of his mistake.
"Lord Wang." At this moment, the voice of the guard came from outside, "The maid who was drugged last night has been caught." β
Punch words' eyes flickered, and he bit his thin lips: "Brother Ling......"
The prince's face immediately sank: "Bring it in." β
The guard immediately came in with a maid with her arm twisted.
Without the guard's push, seeing Nangong Ling's cold face, the maid's legs were already shaking like chaff, kneeling down and kowtowing repeatedly.
"The prince spares his life! The prince spares his life! β
As soon as Punch Yu saw her, he was at a loss and asked in front of Nangong Ling, "Are you...... Kitchen girl? Why did you drug Brother Ling? β
Nangong Ling's face sank like water, and his eyes were cold, like knives, so people didn't dare to look at them directly, "Say, I sent you?" β
The maid was sincerely afraid, "The king, the prince, is a slave and maid who is obsessed with ghosts for a while." The slave and maid saw that you welcomed the traitorous thief back to the mansion again, and she was afraid that you would fall for her demon path again and lose your mind, so she made this decision yesterday. β
The maid saw that he was not reprimanded, and hurriedly kowtowed, "The slave knows that this is ordered by the witty girl, and she will definitely give it to you personally, so ...... So ......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly showed a resentful expression, "I just didn't expect that in the end, I still fulfilled that demon girl!" β
"Ridiculous." Nangong Ling scolded, "You are trying to harm Yu'er's innocence." Yu'er is a person cherished by this king, how can he allow Er and others to take advantage of it, pull it out and kill it with a cane! β
"Brother Ling." Punch Yu hurriedly grabbed him, frowned lightly, bit her lower lip, and pleaded, "She...... Her original intention was also for Brother Ling's good, I'm afraid it's really just a ghost, can you spare her life? β
Nangong Ling's face was still tense, and she took a deep look at the punch line.
The punchline was stared at by him and staggered his gaze slightly.
Just when the maid thought that she was going to die with a white face, Nangong Ling finally changed her words.
He said, "Then he who listens to the words, pull him down, fight twenty times, and drive him out of the house." β
"Thank you, Lord Wang! Thank you for not killing the prince! The maid was taken away by the guards, and she was shouting again and again.
When the voice was far away, Nangong Ling took the witty words into her arms and said, "That is, Yu'er is too kind-hearted, if there was really something last night, wouldn't it hurt you?" β
Punchline was shocked.
Is this suspicious of her?
Fortunately, she did a good job in her face, bowed her head slightly and pretended not to hear his temptation, only shook her head, "Brother Ling, it's my fault, I don't know what my subordinates think, and I didn't expect my sister to become a demon girl in the eyes of these people, she still lives with Yue'er, if this kind of thing happens, I'm afraid it will affect Yue'er......"
Nangong Ling let go of her, "Yue'er has someone to protect her, if you are implicated, I can't take care of it." Rest for today. β
Punchline nodded obediently.
It is not a big deal for a maid to be expelled from the house, but the matter of a maid who drugged her master but was not killed with a cane has caused heated discussions in the house.
"This witty girl is really the heart of the prince, she is kind-hearted, and after asking for two words, the maid picked up a small life."
"That's not it, that's the future master of our palace!"
"I think it's a good thing to do, cook the raw rice as soon as possible, and drive out that traitor!"
The subordinates did not shy away from their discussions, and Fengqi Yuan naturally got a lot of rumors.
Zizhu glanced at Feng Jiutian, who was sitting in a daze on the rocking chair, and felt a little unbearable in his heart.
"Princess, don't take these people's words to heart......"
"What's the matter?"
Who knows, Feng Jiutian was bored and leaned back, stretched his waist, and asked lazily, obviously not taking this matter seriously.
Zizhu's comfort to his mouth was immediately stuck in his throat.
She still thought that Feng Jiutian was sad about this matter!
Feng Jiu stood up slowly, recovering from a serious illness, refreshed, this is good anywhere, but staying in the yard all day, it's too boring.
"Where's Yue'er?" She asked.
Zizhu hurriedly replied: "The queen is in love with her and entered the palace this morning." β
"You're not following?" Feng Jiu wondered.
"The princess heard that you were not well when you were sick, and told the slave and maid to take good care of you." Speaking of this, Zizhu couldn't help but smile, "Princess, these days with you to take care of, the princess has become a lot stronger, she used to follow me tightly, but now she has learned to take care of people." β
Feng Jiu's heart was also warm.
"You should follow her, I've been bored here for a few days, and I want to go out." Feng Jiu rubbed his wrists and moved.
Hearing this, Zizhu's eyes widened when he heard this, "Out, out?" β
Feng Jiutian's identity is sensitive, although Nangong Ling did not send someone to keep an eye on it, but there must be secret guards around, if he rashly goes out to anger the prince, there will be no good fruit to eat.
Feng Jiutian smiled mysteriously, hugged his arms and snorted coldly, and said retaliatorily: "This can't stop me." I'm not just going out, I'm going to have fun! β
