Chapter 9: Confession

When the courtyard was cleaned up, Lan Qingruo was still snuggled in Huo Ziyao's arms and kept sobbing.

The old princess was not very upset when she heard this, and patted the table, "Okay, this matter will end here." The matter of changing relatives has now become a foregone conclusion, and no one is allowed to pursue it in the future. Since this bastard has confessed her guilt and committed suicide here, even if she is cheaper. However, Qingruo, although you don't know about this matter, it comes from your courtyard, and it is also due to your mismanagement, so I will fine you a month's monthly money, go back and think about it. ”

It turned out that he was only fined a month's money, and when Lan Qingruo heard this painless punishment, the strings that had been stretched instantly relaxed, and he sat down on the ground.

All this was seen in Huo Ziyao's eyes, but it was regarded as innocent Lan Qingruo couldn't stand this stimulation, so he looked up and wanted to plead with the old princess, "Mother, this matter is supposed to beβ€”"

The old princess knew that Huo Ziyao didn't understand anything, his mind was simple, and letting him continue would only make it worse, so he immediately shut up with a look.

These small actions naturally couldn't escape Huo Weilou's eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he took over the words embarrassmently, "This matter is not simple, but it's not like Miss Lan doesn't know a word and just countsβ€”β€”"

When Lan Qingruo heard this, he immediately broke free from Huo Ziyao's embrace, knelt in front of the old princess, and said with big tears and small tears: "Qing Ruo knows that he is wrong, Qing Ruo should go back and think about it, and strictly control the people around him." ”

"Okay, now that I know it's wrong, I'll make the decision today, and that's it. It's okay, everyone is gone, I'm tired and need to rest. In my courtyard for a day, alas, ......" said, turned around and stopped looking at everyone, and the grandmother next to him immediately stepped forward to help her and left.

Huo Weilou wanted to say something more, Shen Xinyue walked up to him, smiled, and said softly: "Forget it, the second prince wanted to talk but was stopped by the old princess, why?" is to close the coffin, and I don't want to investigate the real mastermind. If you see something so obvious, why bother saying more? What if you analyze the Tao at the head? Isn't it also a hasty conclusion of the case if there is evidence? Have you done the Lord's thing about your mother? ”

Yes, even though Huo Weilou has always been estranged from the old princess, he has never disobeyed her, just because she is his mother.

Huo Weilou's face was gloomy, he stopped talking, turned around and strode away.

"Heyβ€”just go, and don't say hello." Shen Xinyue was speechless, so she had to follow quickly.

Although she knew in her heart that the nurse was just a substitute for the dead, this matter could be regarded as a victory in the first battle, and Shen Xinyue was still very happy.

Since returning to the bedroom, she has been humming a little tune, busy inside and out.

Huo Weilou was not in the same good mood as her, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, slowly thinking about these things, and saw that Shen Xinyue was about to go out with the medicine pot that decocted him for him, and suddenly said, "That's not right." ”

"What's wrong?" Just as one foot was about to step out of the threshold, Shen Xinyue took it back.

"If Lan Qingruo is really the person behind the scenes, how can he be stupid enough to leave those medicine residues in his room and wait for someone to search them?" Huo Weilou squinted at Shen Xinyue, and he vaguely felt that this woman was hiding something from him.

Shen Xinyue smiled, came back with the medicine pot, put it on the table, sat in front of Huo Weilou, looked at his frowning, and said, "Of course she wasn't stupid to that point. ”

"And where did you find your dregs? After a while, this king doesn't believe that you have three heads and six arms, and you can search these things out of such a large courtyard. Could it be that you have other helpers? Huo Weilou squinted and slowly approached Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue was a little pressured by him, and retreated, "Of course I don't have three heads and six arms, let alone any helpers." Ahem, those dregs are just the ones I brought with me in advance, and they are not some aphrodisiac dregs, they are just ordinary. I took it out while the men who were with me were behind me. ”

She did a lot of play, and Shen Xinyue laughed a little when she thought of the scene when the people who went to monitor her saw the bag of medicine residue.

"What? You? Huo Weilou was so excited by Shen Xinyue's confession that he didn't know what to say, "You are framed." ”

"It's not called framing! This is called never tired of deceit. If they hadn't done it, they would have killed and would not admit it, and my plan would not have succeeded; Or, if they weren't thieves and could think about it carefully, they wouldn't be able to fall for it. Shen Xinyue looked like she didn't care, it's just blame, they did evil first.

"Aren't you afraid that if it is exposed, your life will be at risk?" For some reason, Huo Weilou felt a little afraid.

"Of course I'm afraid. But what can be done? In such a huge regent palace, I have just arrived, there are no people around, and I have no money in my hand, and I said that I should check it, and I am restricted wherever I go, isn't it in vain. I am the one who has been wronged, and if I don't find a way to save myself, who can save me? If you don't put it to death and live afterward, you will be killed sooner or later. Shen Xinyue smacked her lips and didn't care.

"Don't worry. That nurse didn't die in vain. In this matter, it is absolutely inseparable from her. She understands pharmacology, so the poisons that we never find the source of are all from her. stunned me and stole the beams to change the pillars, used aphrodisiac incense to make raw rice into mature rice, and wanted to blame me, and also used broken intestines to kill Xi Po and kill people. ”

"As for Lan Qingruo, he must not be a clean person. If you think about it with your toes, you know that it is not ten taels of silver that buys Xi Po, but a bag of gold. Just ask a mere nurse, where does the gold come from? Moreover, if it is really as she said, she hates Lan Qingruo to the bone, she has been serving her all year round, when is it not the opportunity to start, and she has to wait for her wedding? What about fools? It's just that Lan Qing escaped responsibility if he was protected by the old princess. ”

Shen Xinyue said angrily, the more she talked, the more she felt a kind of unhappiness in her heart, and she no longer waited for Huo Weilou to speak, picked up the medicine pot and left angrily.

Outside the courtyard of the East Wing.

Huo Ziyao hugged Lan Qingruo, who looked grief-stricken, to the door.

Lan Qingruo stopped, held on to the door frame with his two hands tremblingly, and raised a pair of red and swollen eyes that were crying to look at Huo Ziyao, "Ziyao, you go back first." Today's and today's events hit Qingruo too hard, and Qingruo couldn't accept it for a while. I want to be alone and quiet, and I won't leave you alone. You know, I've always treated my nurse like family, and she seems to have treated me well, and I can't imagine it......"

Speaking of this, it seemed that he was in pain, and he paused, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but welled up again.

The beloved was hit by this, Huo Ziyao was also six gods for a while, took out a towel from his arms and gently wiped the tears on her face, "Qingruo, I know the face but I don't know the heart." Don't be sad. Fortunately, this nurse didn't cause a bigger mistake. Although you married me by mistake, don't worry, I won't let you suffer the slightest grievance. ”

Lan Qingruo only hoped that Huo Ziyao would not follow him anymore, and quickly left here, took the towel and pretended to wipe his tears, bowed his head and said nothing, only nodded slightly.

At this time, her personal maid Zhu'er rushed over and helped Lan Qingruo to go back, and Huo Ziyao reluctantly left after sending them into the house.

Lifting the door curtain and entering the house, Lan Qingruo immediately judged the two of them, she threw the towel in her hand to the ground, and went to the house to check in a hurry.

"Miss, that Shen Xinyue was brought by the people in the old princess's mansion today to search for things, and I couldn't stop it. They took a bag from the house and left without knowing anything, I just heard that the nurse committed suicide in fear of sin, is it related to this? The maid Zhu'er knew that something was wrong when she looked at Lan Qingruo's face, but she didn't know the reason.

"Not bad. The nurse almost didn't kill me today. She has always been strict in her work, and I don't know why she made such a big mistake today, leaving the residue of the preparation of poison and aphrodisiac incense in the house without handling it, and was caught. Lan Qingruo said hatefully, his eyes looked around, and the more he thought about the scene at that time, the more angry he became.

"Did Miss mean that they took the dregs of the medicine at that time? No, if you talk about the dregs, I know it. The nurse said last time that she almost dug up the roots of the tree in the courtyard in order to bury the dregs. The maid Zhu'er said.

Hearing this, Lan Qingruo's face suddenly turned from red to white, and she almost fell, "What? You said the nurse had already buried the dregs? Is it buried in the yard? ”

The maid nodded.

"You said Shen Xinyue, they stole something from my house?"

The maid Zhu'er nodded again, looking at Lan Qingruo's increasingly disgusting expression, and added timidly: "That Shen Xinyue didn't seem to be too serious at that time to search a few places to open your wardrobe, I was going to stop her, but suddenly a mouse came out of your closet, which scared everyone into a mess for a while, and after the mouse ran away, I found a bag that fell on the ground." They took it and said they had found it, and they left......"

Lan Qingruo's face turned pale, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, "Zhu'er, hurry up and go to the courtyard to see if the medicine residue buried by the nurse is still there?" ”

Zhu'er nodded and wanted to leave, but Lan Qingruo added: "Go and close the door first, don't let others see it." ”

Zhu'er said that she knew and ran out quickly.

Lan Qingruo settled down, moved to the edge of the bed step by step and sat down, closed her eyes tightly, she had a bad premonition.

Time passed minute by minute, and Lan Qingruo stood up for a while and kept pacing around the house; After a while, I sat down and drank some water to stabilize my mind, and I was quite tormented.

When it was getting dark, the maid Zhu'er came back panting, only to see that her clothes were already full of mud and weeds, and her hands were shaking from excessive force.

"How?" Lan Qingruo, who was sitting on the bed, stood up and asked, his eyes already turning scarlet.

"Miss, the dregs buried by the nurse are still there." The maid Zhu'er was so tired that she was out of breath.

Hearing her words, Lan Qingruo staggered back a few steps as if she had been struck by lightning, and suddenly fell on the bed, and then, a cruel color gradually surfaced on her pale and colorless face, and said angrily: "Slut! Slut! Slut! We were calculated by Shen Xinyue, a slut. ”

"Miss?" The maid Zhu'er was frightened by Lan Qingruo's appearance, "The nurse died unjustly? ”。

Lan Qingruo glanced at Zhu'er, the nurse died for her, but she couldn't say wrong.

The nurse doesn't die, but the sad thing is that she Lan Qingruo, so the nurse can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

However, the nurse can be regarded as protecting herself, and it is not impossible to give her a pillar of incense.

Thinking of this, Lan Qingruo's face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, "Zhu'er, go back and put incense on the nurse." ”

"Shangzhu incense?" Pearl was puzzled.

Lan Qingruo motioned for Zhu'er to lean over and whispered a few words in her ear.
