Later, they spent some effort to find out that the little eunuch in the palace of the concubine was going to find one of her fellow villagers in the imperial garden, and they had made an appointment before.

Cui Jieyu's palace maid Yinhuan went to help Cui Jieyu pick flowers in the imperial garden, and only Qu Cairen's personal palace maid Yinhuan went to the imperial garden for no purpose.

And thinking that the child before Qu Cairen was gone, it was related to the second princess and Ming Jieyu, if Qu Cairen hated the second princess, it would be reasonable to poison the second princess.

Although Yuan En and Lian Yongwang felt that the big palace maid named Zijin next to Qu Cairen was the most suspicious among the three people, but just in case, Yuan En and Lian Yongwang still interrogated all three of them.

The rhetoric of the little eunuch in the palace of the concubine and the big palace maid in Cui Jieyu's palace was the same as what Yuan En and they found, and there was no trace of lying, but the palace maid named Zijin of Qu Cairen's palace maid was a little incompatible in the process of interrogation.

Yuan En and they used different ways to ask questions, and they asked the questions several times in a chaotic order, and the palace maid was fine at first, but when she asked the back, her answer was completely different from the previous answer.

Unlike the other two, although the answers after asking several times are not exactly the same, they are still roughly the same.

In this way, it is already obvious who poisoned the second princess's perilla drink.

But Yuan En and Lian Yongwang sent the testimony of the overnight interrogation to the emperor, but they didn't expect the emperor to let them continue to investigate.

Lian Yongwang retracted his gaze from looking at the gray sky, looked at Yuan En and said, "It's not that the emperor doesn't believe that this thing was done by Qu Cairen, but he thinks that with Qu Cairen's identity and status, he shouldn't be able to do this. ”

It has been less than a year since Qu Cairen entered the palace, and his family background is also very average, although this time it is easy to say, it is not easy to do it.

Don't mention where Qu Cairen knew the whereabouts of the second princess, how did he know that the perilla drink prepared by the little palace maid was for the second princess, how did he let the little palace maid put down the perilla drink and go to the thatched house halfway, and said that the broken intestine grass poison in the perilla drink, where did Qu Cairen get it?

"Let's go, let's go to Qu Cairen and ask her where she got the poison of the Broken Intestine Grass?" Lian Yongwang sighed faintly, it seems that the emperor is not going to let it go lightly this time, and wants to find out clearly.

Since the emperor has such a mind, they can only continue to investigate, hoping that too many people will not be involved.

Since Zijin was called away yesterday, Qu Cairen knew that most of the poisoning of the second princess was exposed, and when Lian Yongwang came with the will to put her under house arrest, Qu Cairen was not too surprised and afraid, but there was a sense of relief that the hanging knife had finally fallen.

When Lian Yongwang asked her why she wanted to poison the second princess, Qu Cairen did not hide her hatred for the second princess.

"If it weren't for her, how could my child have just been born?" Qu Cairen said with resentment: "If she hadn't suddenly rushed out to touch my stomach that day, how could I push her, it was obviously her fault, but Ming Jieyu indiscriminately attributed all the fault to me." ”

"My child who Ming Jieyu harmed is gone, but she herself has only been demoted, and the second princess has no punishment at all, why should they?" Qu Cairen said and suddenly looked at Lian Yongwang with sharp eyes, "You say, should I avenge my child who died young?" ”

Lian Yongwang didn't speak, from this point of view, Qu Cairen is indeed a victim, but even if she is a victim, she can't poison the second princess because of this?

And Qu Cairen lost her child and suffered a loss in this matter, it stands to reason that the emperor should compensate her and give her a promotion or something, just like An Concubine back then, but the emperor didn't do this, why is this?

Isn't it because Qu Cairen also has an unshirkable responsibility for the death of Qu Cairen's child?

If it weren't for Qu Cairen, who was more than eight months pregnant, but didn't know how to take care of the fetus, but didn't know whether to live or die, he only took a personal palace maid to wander around the imperial garden, how could he meet the second princess, and finally caused her to be born prematurely and the child died?

At that time, the emperor said that everyone was uneasy, but he was not talking about Ming Jieyu alone.

Even Yongwang didn't answer her, Qu Cairen didn't care, she calmed down her emotions, and continued with some regret: "It's a pity that Ming Jieyu's slut is grounded in the palace, and the people around her are not easy to penetrate, otherwise I will let her go underground to make amends for my child who died young." ”

Lian Yongwang waited for Qu Cairen to finish speaking, and then asked again: "How did you know the whereabouts of the second princess?" ”

Qu Cairen said disdainfully: "Is it difficult to know the whereabouts of the second princess?" I have always sent the palace maids around me to pay attention to the movements of the second princess and Ming Jieyu, and I can naturally know where the second princess went. ”

"What about the poison?" Lian Yongwang continued to ask, "Where did you get the Broken Intestine Grass Poison?" ”

Qu Caidao: "The poison was also brought in by my eldest palace maid from outside the palace. ”

Lian Yongwang listened to Qu Cairen's answer, his brows furrowed even deeper, judging from Qu Cairen's words, although Qu Cairen himself admitted that she poisoned the second princess, but in the process of poisoning the second princess, Qu Cairen may have just opened his mouth, and the one who contributed was always the big palace maid named Zijin next to Qu Cairen.

Where did she get such a great ability from a palace maid?

Could it be that the real master of this palace maid is not actually Qu Cairen? Or that the original master of this palace maid was also Qu Cairen, but she was later bought by others.

If this is the case, will Qu Cairen have the "credit" of this little palace maid when he went to the imperial garden?

And Qu Cairen's poisoning of the second princess was really Qu Cairen's own desire to poison the second princess, or was there this palace maid named Zijin who instigated it to make Qu Cairen decide to poison the second princess?

A lot of speculation flashed in Lian Yongwang's heart, he was silent for a while, and after sorting out his thoughts, he asked again: "How did you think of poisoning the second princess at that time?" ”

Qu Cairen probably thought that Lian Yongwang's question was too strange, she raised her head and stared at Lian Yongwang several times before she said, "Isn't poisoning a common method in the palace and the back house?" Would I have thought it strange to poison the second princess? ”

Lian Yongwang shook his head. "It's not strange, I just think that the second princess still has your child died early, according to your hatred for her, you should want to strangle her with your own hands, or stab her with a knife, instead of poisoning, after all, judging from your current calm attitude, you don't seem to care about your own life or death."
