Chapter 102: The Bamboo Confesses
Cuizhu cried and ran at the same time. Unknowingly, they ran to the moat.
She sat on the bank of the river and cried pitifully, feeling disillusioned at the thought that she would never be able to marry her "beloved" in her life.
She poked her head out and shone herself with the water of the river. I saw a woman with messy hair and red eyes on the water.
She was born ordinary, and she had no other strengths except for her fair complexion. Thinking about it, I felt as if I had no hope left in my life.
Cuizhu stood up and jumped into the river with a "poof". The icy river instantly flooded her mouth and nose.
At that moment, the fear of death struck, and she realized her desire for life. But it was too late, and she struggled and put her hand out of the water.
Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her and pulled her up from the river.
It was a young man with a cloth over his face, as if he didn't want people to see his true face.
The young man pulled her ashore and said, "It is better to die than to live." Then he left without looking back.
*
The subordinates followed her and saw her go to the Miao Mansion. She told Miao Shinian that she wanted to follow him, but after Miao Shinian refused, she threw herself into the river. ”
The guards were reporting Cuizhu's situation to Qin Yue, "After I pulled her up from the river, she came back." ”
Qin Yue nodded, "You continue to stare at Miao Shinian." ”
According to Ruan Jiaojiao, Cuizhu hadn't seen Miao Shinian much before, and it was impossible to fall in love with him in the short term, and Miao Shinian didn't hurt her innocence. Obviously, Cuizhu has a good life to live, and under normal circumstances, it is even more impossible to find death and life for him. It seems that the medicine really has an effect on people's mental health.
Qin Yue came to Lin Lin Yun again and asked about Gu Zhu's situation: "Does she have a specific explanation, who gave this medicine?" ”
"She said that she was a maid on an errand in Miao Mansion, and she was her little sister in her early years."
Miao Mansion, Qin Yue's eyes became sharp when he heard this word.
"Miao Shinian was not in the capital for a period of time last year, you can check for me where he went during this time and who he came into contact with."
"Yes!" Lin Yun showed a hesitant look on his face.
"What else?"
"Mama Gui seems to know about Guzhu last night, and she went to the door of the dungeon and begged us to let her in to see Guzhu."
Qin Yue paused.
Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Without your order, we don't dare to let her in." ”
A nurse who brought him up since he was a child, like a relative, and finally Qin Yue said: "Let her in." ”
*
So Zhu knew that he might not live long this time. The rules of the palace are heavy, and drugging the master is a capital crime, not to mention Qin Yue's irritable temperament, it would be good if he didn't kill her on the spot.
But she didn't know why those guards repeatedly asked her if she had drugged Qin Yue's clothes and incense.
She had only recently gotten this medicine, and if she had gotten it a long time ago, would she have waited until today? didn't make the prince fall in love with her a long time ago, and Ruan Jiaojiao had something to do.
So Zhu never admitted that she had made a mistake, but she didn't want to be wronged. Those guards were also merciful when they were tortured. She was only flogged, but that alone was enough for her.
In the haze, Sotake felt that someone was feeding him. She hadn't gotten a drop of water for a day and a night.
She heard a babbling of a woman's voice.
So Zhu struggled to open his eyes, and in front of him was Mama Gui's serious, but worried, face.
"I said, you kid, what a sin." As she spoke, she poured a little brown sugar water into Gu Zhu's mouth.
So Zhu was thirsty and hungry, and his lips were chapped. When you come into contact with the sweet sugar water, it is like nectar, and you swallow it immediately.
At the same time, big tears flowed down her eyes, "Mama......"
So Zhu cried, "Mama, you ask the prince for intercession......"
Mama Gui reddened her eyes and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"I also brought you white porridge." After that, she looked at the guards on the side, all of whom knew people in the house, "Can I feed her some white porridge?" ”
The guards did not refuse, and stepped forward to relieve the old bamboo, and Mama Gui allowed the prince to visit the old bamboo.
Mama Gui helped Gu Zhu to the chair on the side, "Sit down, I'll feed you some porridge." ”
Therefore, because Zhu was covered in injuries and had no strength, he ate very slowly, and during this period, Mama Gui kept chattering, like an old man who felt sorry for his younger generations.
After interrogation, everyone also knew that Gu Zhu turned out to be a distant relative of Gui Mama, so Zhu had such a thing, and it was already good that Gui Mama was not affected.
She also wanted to ask her mother to intercede.
The guard stood aside for a while, feeling bored, and went to the door of the dungeon to guard it.
"Sozhu, it's not that Mama won't help you. Even if you climb directly into the prince's bed. Mama can think of sending you out. But if you drug your master, it's a capital offense. ”
Today you can put messy things in the master's food, and tomorrow you can poison the master. Such crimes cannot therefore be tolerated.
Therefore, Zhu also knew in his heart that he cried even more when he heard the words, and he couldn't even eat the white porridge.
"Gu Zhu, it's only a hundred times since you went, but what if you still have a disabled mother and younger brother at home...... Ay. Mama Gui sighed.
So Zhu stopped crying and looked at Mama Gui with tears: "Mama, I don't want to die, please save me." I want to see the prince! ”
"Listen to me......" Mama Gui leaned into Gu Zhu's ear and whispered something.
So Zhu's gaze changed from full of hope to dull.
*
On the second day, Gu Zhu confessed, saying that she had always been pleased with the prince and wanted to be his concubine. But suffering from Qin Yue's coldness. So she started to engage in some crooked tricks.
sprinkled medicinal powder on Qin Yue's clothes, and finally because Ruan Jiaojiao entered the mansion, Zhu felt that the hope was getting slimmer and slimmer. simply increased the dosage of medicine at one time and drugged Qin Yue's diet.
After explaining these things, Zhu bit his tongue and committed suicide.
When Qin Yue heard this, the expression on his face was a little elusive. I didn't say that I believed it, and I didn't say that I would continue to investigate. just asked someone to bury the old bamboo, and ordered someone to check who was in her family, and asked someone to send a sum of silver.
After Mama Gui found out, in front of her subordinates, she muttered for a while: "Don't look at our prince's cold face, his heart is really hot." If a subordinate in the house makes a mistake, the master can still treat him so kindly. ”
"You all warn me one by one, don't make mistakes like the old bamboo again. Hey, it's all my fault, if I didn't bring her in, I wouldn't have ...... today."
Mama Gui cried a few times after speaking, and many little maids sympathized and persuaded her.
*
"Do you really believe that Gu Zhu did it in the incense of clothes?" Ruan Jiaojiao sorted out her makeup in the mirror.
Looking at Qin Yue through the reflection of the bronze mirror.
Qin Yue's expression was vague, and he only replied vaguely: "Let's stop here first, and it will be fifteen in a few days." ”
Ruan Jiaojiao didn't know what fifteen meant to Qin Yue, but she would soon find out......
