"Hee-hee. Mu Yan smiled, walked to Shen Li's side and said with a flattering face: "Our prince is so smart, how can I fool you with such a little trick." Rather than waiting to be exposed and scolded by you later, it is better to admit it yourself. ”

Shen Li shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, with an expression that he didn't have a problem with her. "How do you know I've seen through it?"

Mu Yan pursed her lips and said a little discouraged: "I and Hongluan worked so hard to perform, and we said that our hearts hurt and we couldn't speak, so in normal times, you would have asked Imperial Doctor Chen to come over." But you only let Hongluan take care of me just now, and you didn't even ask anyone to ask for Imperial Doctor Chen. This means that you can see that I am okay early. In fact, compared to acting, you are more powerful! I know that I am pretending, and you cooperate so realistically. I thought you were nervous about me at first!"

Shen Li smiled, rubbed his brows, and sighed in his heart. Originally, in the last dynasty today, the snobbish prince jumped out to eyed the position of the crown prince, and on the way back, he was in a bad mood. But after Mu Yan made such a fuss, it was inexplicably much better.

Fang Biling looked at Mu Yan, and then at Shen Li, with a blank expression.

"You, you, you are ......"

"Sister Fang, get up first. ”

Mu Yan stepped forward to help Fang Biling, picked up a piece of pastry on the plate and said, "Sister Fang, don't misunderstand, this is definitely not me and the prince deliberately teasing you." You've got poison in this pastry. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Yan asked Hongluan to hand over a silver needle, poke it into the pastry, and took it out after a while. Fang Biling looked at the blackened silver needle, and her heart began to panic again.

"It's—this can't be. I really didn't poison it!"

Mu Yan smiled at her soothingly, "Sister Fang, don't be afraid, no one here doubts you." Originally, I thought you weren't bold enough. Later, coupled with the question that the prince just asked you, it made me believe even more that this poison was definitely not caused by you. It's just that I didn't expect you to put croton in it. At first, I almost thought you did it. ”

When Fang Biling heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. But he couldn't help but say, "Who will poison that?"

"Then I have to ask Sister Fang. ”

"Ask me?"

Fang Biling looked at Mu Yan in puzzlement, but saw a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of essence.

"Since Sister Fang didn't poison the pastry, it must be someone else who poisoned it. Sister Fang, think about it, can anyone else handle the pastries you gave me besides the maid? Or is it the poison under your maid?

"Impossible!"

Fang Biling shook her head with great certainty. "I know very well who my maid is. Without my instructions, she would never dare to poison herself, and it would never be her. ”

"Is it her, just call over and ask. ”

Shen Li spoke, and the guards went to bring people over. Very, the maid was brought over. Seeing that his master was also there, he was obviously weak-hearted, and he trembled and knelt down to salute everyone.

Mu Yan saw that the little girl was about the same age as Hongluan, and she couldn't see Chu Chu's pitiful appearance who was frightened by Shen Li. He stepped forward to help her up and said, "Don't be afraid, calling you over is just asking you something." You answer truthfully, and you must not hide anything. ”

"Back to the princess, what do you ask, the slave and maid must tell the truth. ”

The little maid was also very well-behaved, and nodded with a panicked expression. Mu Yan patted her shoulder comfortingly, and said, "Today, you heard that your master came to deliver pastries, did you meet any suspicious people along the way?

"Back to the princess's words, the slave maid listened to the order of her little master to come over to deliver pastries, and she didn't meet any suspicious people on the way, but she just happened to see the little master Liu who came out for a walk. She asked the slave what she was holding, and she told her that it was the pastries that my master had brought from her hometown. After I go back and send this one to the third princess, I will also send her a copy. She listened curiously, so she opened the food box and looked at it, and then said that it was very exquisite, and asked me to thank my master for her kindness first, and then left. ”

"Oh?" Mu Yan raised her eyebrows. "Have you met anyone else on the way since then?"

The little maid thought for a moment and shook her head. "No more. ”

"Liu Feifu?" Fang Biling frowned, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: Could it be that this little girl harmed me?

Thinking so in her heart, she opened her mouth and said to Shen Li: "Lord Wang, since Liu Feixu is involved, send someone to bring her over to ask." ”

Shen frowned without a trace, and after a pause, he said: "What's the use of asking her to come and ask? You, the person who delivered the pastries, have flatly denied it, she is a passer-by, what is the crime? Not to mention that this maid also said just now, she just happened to meet Fei Xi, so she just chatted with her for a few words, but have you ever seen her poisoned?"

The little maid looked at Shen Li's cold eyes, and immediately lowered her head, but she didn't dare to raise her head.

"No, no, the slave didn't see the little master Liu poisoned. ”

Fang Biling was furious when she heard this. Thinking that she is a side concubine, she can't compare to Mu Yan, but now in Shen Li's heart, she can't even compare to a concubine. Mu Yan was poisoned, and when she was suspected, she was immediately brought over, kneeling and intimidating, and even made her eat poisonous pastries. Now that Liu Feifu is involved, he doesn't pursue it at all, and he is clearly biased. This made her swallow this breath.

"Lord, I can understand that you treated me like this before. You feel sorry for Mu Yan, so you naturally spoil her, and you can't afford to miss a little. You suspect that I am the one who poisoned me, so you reprimanded me so coldly. But now that Liu Feixu is involved, why can't you even ask you? If it's really her poison that my maid didn't prepare, you don't plan to pursue it, right? Mu Yan, you feel distressed, Liu Feixu you are also distressed, Bi Ling has been following you for so long, how can you be so ruthless?"

Shen Li sighed lightly and lowered his eyes, "This king just doesn't want to wronged people at will." Forget it, since Yan'er is fine, this matter will end here. Although you didn't poison people, you also had the intention of harming others. I'll punish you to think about it behind closed doors for three days in the house, and reflect on it. ”

Fang Biling looked at Shen Li fixedly, and suddenly felt disheartened. The man she has loved for so long, whether it is in her eyes or heart, there is no shadow of her. Only now did she finally understand why her mother showed such a sad look when she insisted on marrying Shen Li. In fact, it was not reluctance, but worrying about her. Maybe her mother is from the past, so she has long known that a man like Shen Li cannot be her destination.

That's it. Fang Biling smiled bitterly and shook her head, her usual arrogance dissipated. She seemed to be dozens of years old in an instant, slumped her shoulders and turned around and left here.

After she left, Shen Li looked up at Mu Yan, and just wanted to say something, but Mu Yan spoke first: "I have never liked this Concubine of yours very much, but now, I really feel that she is very pitiful." ”
