Two guards walked out of the side, escorted Xiaohe to the bench, and the long stick in his hand was raised high, fell heavily, and hit Xiaohe's body.

In just one moment, Xiaohe's original white dress turned scarlet.

When the ladies saw this, they couldn't help but exclaim, covered the corners of their lips with handkerchiefs, and turned their heads slightly.

Xiaohe grabbed the bench under him and bit his lip stubbornly.

When the guards saw the strength of their subordinates, they increased a little.

Ten sticks down, Xiaohe was already dying, his face was pale, and his face was covered with cold sweat.

Concubine Dong looked at it coldly and waved her hand to the two guards.

The guard put away the long stick and pulled the little lotus up.

Xiaohe was forced to raise his head, his breathing was already weak, and his eyes were slightly open in sweat and tears, looking at the woman sitting on the main seat, his eyes were full of fear.

"Who instructed you to poison Miss Wu?" Concubine Dong was very satisfied with the fear in her eyes, and hooked her lips coldly.

Xiaohe cried and shook his head, suddenly looked at Mu Youning on the side, and said with difficulty: "Miss Mu, please save the slave maid, when you gave the slave and maid the sun and moon pot, you said that it would never be discovered, and now you want to watch the slave and maid die with a cold eye!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience focused on Mu Youning.

Mu Youning's action of holding the cup paused, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, she didn't expect that the other party would come at her this time.

Or is it the General's Mansion behind her?

Thinking like this, she didn't move, and put her glass down.

stood up and walked slowly to Xiaohe.

She gently lifted Xiaohe's chin, saw that she was covered with sweat, took out a handkerchief from her waist and wiped it for her, and a trace of pity seemed to flash in her eyes, "I think you were blinded by sweat just now, take a good look, I was the one who gave you the Sun and Moon Pot?"

Xiao He was a little stunned because of her actions, but when she heard the words, she came back to her senses: "Miss Mu, you said that you want to send the slave to die, in this case, the slave doesn't need to keep it a secret for you." ”

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Concubine Dong: "Niangniang, when Miss Mu gave the slave maid the Sun and Moon Pot, she only said that Miss Wu loves green plum wine, so she specially prepared green plum wine for Miss Wu, and asked me to pour wine for Miss Wu, press the switch of the Sun and Moon Pot, the slave and maid really don't know that it is poisonous wine, if the slave and maid know, they will definitely not agree, please Niang Niang Mingjian." ”

Concubine Dong was silent when she heard this, she pondered for a while, and then looked at Mu Youning: "Youning, what this maid said is true?"

Mu Youning saluted her, his expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant: "Niangniang, the courtiers don't know this servant, and they haven't given her the Sun and Moon Pot." ”

Concubine Dong nodded, and before she could speak, Xie Wanxi's maid suddenly spoke: "Niangniang, when the aunt in the palace went to the Tai Hospital to deliver the utensils used by Miss Wu, the slave maid also saw that Miss Mu stopped the aunt and picked up Miss Wu's wine glass. Miss Wu was poisoned and died, everyone saw it, her utensils, ordinary people are avoided, only Miss Mu did the opposite, not only did not avoid it, but also looked at it carefully for a long time. ”

The maid said, and looked at Mu Youning like a sigh: "Isn't it...... Miss Mu has a weak heart and wants to use this to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces?"

"Xiuhe, don't talk nonsense. After Xie Wanxi finished speaking, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she shouted softly, and then she turned to look at Concubine Dong with a smile: "Auntie, my maid is in charge of the family, and please don't blame my aunt." ”

"It doesn't matter. Concubine Dong waved her hand, "Youning, is there such a thing?"

"The courtiers did take Miss Wu's cup, not as Miss Xie's maid said, to destroy the corpse. It's just that the courtier felt that there was something strange about Miss Wu's cause of death, so she took a look at her things. Mu Youning said lightly: "Not to mention that if I want to destroy the corpse, how can the Tai Hospital still find out the source of the poison, even if this is the case, I will not choose to destroy the corpse in such a large public." ”

She said and glanced at Xie Wanxi: "Miss Xie has always had a good reputation, gentle and humble, and has both talent and virtue, but it is really against your reputation to be so indiscriminate and unclear about the truth that she indulges in her maid to slander others." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Wanxi felt the gloating, disgusted and doubtful gazes of others, and she even saw the displeasure flashing in Qi Siyuan's eyes.

Xie Wanxi's eyes were red for a moment, she gritted her teeth and slapped Xiuhe in the face with her backhand, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's because I'm not strict in governance, and I will definitely punish her well when I go back." ”

Mu Youning only glanced faintly, and then withdrew his gaze.

If you provoke her, you have to be prepared to pay the price.

Today, it is just a small punishment and a big commandment.

"Alright. Concubine Dong frowned and snorted coldly: "You just said that the cause of Miss Wu's death is strange, what's strange?"

The courtiers suspected that Miss Wu was not poisoned. Mu Youning said loudly, this attitude is not just suspicion, but determination.

"Impossible, this official and Bai Gongzi have seen Miss Wu's body together, she is bleeding from her seven orifices, and her mouth and tongue are blue, which is a typical sign of poisoning!" affirmed the old lady doctor who had taken Miss Wu's pulse before.

The smile on Bai Yujin's face was put away at some point, but he didn't directly refute Mu Youning's opinion, he pursed his lips and thought for a moment before he said, "Why did Miss Mu say that?"

Mu Youning glanced at him and became more wary of him, this person was unruly and exaggerated in appearance, but in fact he was well-informed and cautious.

"One: Although Hedinghong is highly poisonous, it has never been fatal immediately after drinking alcohol, in this case, why has no one ever heard Miss Wu's cry for help, and she was not found until she was exhausted. ”

"Second: I just looked, and her nails were ruddy, and if she was poisoned, the tips of her fingers would be as black as her lips. ”

"Therefore, there is only one possibility - she was infused with poison after death, so the poison cannot flow down the bloodstream to the internal organs, which can explain these two phenomena. ”

Bai Yujin's pupils shrank, and he strode over to Miss Wu's corpse.

He took her hand first, looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that the color between hers was normal, and there was no blue or black.

He took out another silver needle and plunged it into her stomach.

When pulled out, the silver needle was still bright and white, not black.

It means that there are indeed no toxins in the stomach.

He stood up and said with a straight face: "Miss Wu was indeed poisoned after death. ”

"Ahh

The exclamations came one after another, and no one expected that they watched Miss Wu family bleeding from her seven orifices, and in the end, the cause of death was not poisoning.

Concubine Dong also stood up, and Qi Siyuan helped her over.

Her face was a condensed color, slightly heavy.

If Miss Wu died of poisoning, even if the Sun Moon Pot was not given by Mu Youning, there was a clue about Xiaohe, but now the clue is broken here, and she doesn't even know the cause of death.

The expression in her eyes changed several times, and she didn't know what to think.

"Even Bai Gongzi and the Imperial Doctor have never found out that Miss Wu did not die of poisoning, why does Miss Mu know so clearly? Could it be that ......?"
