As soon as the eldest princess stepped into the threshold, the slaves and maids in the room knelt down and saluted, and when they saw that her expression was not good, they all bowed their heads in fear, and secretly felt bad in their hearts. Next to the eldest princess stood a lofty young man, dressed in a white gold-inlaid silk brocade robe, with his hands behind his back, extraordinary instruments, and a proud momentum.

Then, the head of the Huajun Palace, the king of Huajun, who was dressed in a maroon robe, stepped into the hall, and beside him was the crown prince wearing a golden armor and yellow forged brocade robe. The rest of the group followed to the front of the door, and the atmosphere became tense in the dark inside and outside the hall.

After all the slaves and maids in the hall saluted, they all got up and retreated in fear, and Aunt Li hurriedly got up from the couch, with a smile on her face, and carefully saluted: "Say hello to the prince and the eldest princess." The slaves and maids behind her bent down again and knelt down, not daring to make a sound at all. The little county lord was helped to stand up by the maid, his eyes were a little uneasy, and he made a weak voice: "Daddy, mother, ......"

The slaves and maids hurriedly cleaned up the long couch case in the main hall, invited the king of Huajun and the eldest princess to take a seat, replaced the cups and bowls on the tea table, and quickly brought hot flower leaf tea again.

The group sat down in the order of honor and humility of the host and guest, standing or kneeling in the huge and spacious hall, serving several retinues inside and outside, but did not hear the slightest coughing sound. Even the ring jade ornaments worn by the maid and slave were quietly quiet, without making a single sound.

King Huajun's face was ugly, and as soon as he sat down, he angrily asked, "What the hell is going on, as soon as I stepped into the mansion, I heard that a maid was poisoned at the luncheon." This king and his wife have only been away for a few hours, and such a thing has happened in the palace, who has such courage?" he flicked his sleeves vigorously, and two green tendons protruded on his forehead.

The little county lord Yuetong is the only daughter of the king of Huajun, the only beloved pearl in the palm of the whole house, holding it in her hand and caring for it, for fear that it will not be enough. At the county lord and the banquet, someone actually poisoned him, and dared to harm the county lord, and such an ugly thing happened in the dignified palace, and he was hit by the guests who came to the banquet, so that the king of Huajun had no face.

There was a disgusting bloody smell in the hall, mixed with the sweet fragrance of flowers on everyone's body, and it could not be dispersed after a long time. Everyone sat on their own couches, and they all frowned slightly, and saw a weak girl lying on the cold stone floor, unconscious. Dressed in a white wrapping robe, he was covered with terrifying bloodstains, like red plum blossoms falling on the snow, and the spots were terrifying.

The eldest princess raised her hand and tapped King Huajun's arm across the tea, and said, "Don't be angry first, the important thing is to figure out what happened." Then he raised his eyebrows, turned to look around at everyone, and asked: "What evidence is there to believe that the cook poisoned Tong'er and wanted to murder Tong'er in this palace?" Ligu, this palace knows that you love Tong'er all day long, and you also have a heart for the affairs of the palace, but you also know the rules of the palace, and the palace and the prince have not returned to the palace yet, how can you torture Chef Lin's mother and daughter like this?"

When the eldest princess spoke, her tone was flat and slow, but it was a non-majestic momentum, which made everyone sweat for Ligu. Everyone secretly thought in their hearts, this is the bearing of being a royal princess, and it is really extraordinary.

Ligu, who has always been commanding, has long lost the majesty just now, and was overwhelmed by the eldest princess's words, but she didn't want to bow her head easily, she lowered her head and thought for a moment, and stepped forward with a smile: "Eldest princess, I'm thinking about the county lord." The princess and the prince both entered the palace, something like this happened in the house, the little county lord was shocked like something, I also want to catch the real murderer as soon as possible, and then ......"

The eldest princess raised her hand impatiently, interrupted her, and said, "Tong'er is still young and ignorant, but you are a handful of old people, and you are as frizzy as a child." The stakes are so high, how can you be so arbitrary!If this palace comes back one step late, won't it hurt two lives in vain?" The tone was slow and sharp, and when she said the anger, the eldest princess couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance in her chest, and gasped heavily. She couldn't imagine what would happen if the poisonous wine was poured into Zi Ning's mouth.

She seemed to inadvertently sweep Zi Ning on the withered ground, but she saw a miserable appearance of disheveled clothes, whip marks, and flesh blooming. The dazzling blood marks were like whipping her body, and she fainted on the head and almost fell on her back.

The body shook a little, and the quick-eyed maid Aunt Xu beside her supported her, and the eldest princess was calm and ordered: "Ruochen, take Chef Lin's mother and daughter to the inner hall, and quickly invite the doctor to come for treatment." ”

Aunt Xu nodded and replied softly, "Don't worry, princess, the slave and maid will handle it properly." He turned his head and glanced at Zi Ning deeply, feeling a sense of sadness and pity in his heart. This hard-working child, Princess Ren tried her best to keep you safe in your life, but now she almost had an accident.

Immediately four mothers-in-law came up, half-hugging and half-hugging Chef Lin out, at this time, the man in a gold-inlaid white silk satin robe suddenly got up and said, "I will help this girl diagnose and treat her injuries, please relax the eldest princess." He walked up to Zi Ning, bent down, and gently supported her body with his arms.

Zi Ning was in a coma, only to feel a warmth on her body, and opened her eyes in a daze, a vague white light shadow appeared in front of her, looking down at her, the black hair on her temples fell to the sides of her shoulders, but she couldn't see his face clearly.

The man hugged her tightly, got up and walked to the door, looked down at his arms, and saw Zi Ning weakly shrinking in the crook of his arm, his pale face smeared with a few wisps of blood, and his long eyelashes trembling slightly, obviously in pain and fear.

Zi Ning's eyes were tightly closed, and she struggled to open her mouth, and muttered, "Who are you......?" You rescued ......" There was a folding fan hidden in the man's arms, and when he touched it lightly with his hand, he felt very stable and steady. I secretly swore in my heart that no matter who he was, he would repay this life-saving kindness in this life.

The white-clothed gold-inlaid shadow said softly: "Your injury is very serious, don't speak, don't move, I will definitely save you!" Zi Ning listened to his voice, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and his heart relaxed and fainted.

The eldest princess sat and drank tea, and Aunt Xu lowered her eyes, made a salute, and followed the man in white out to serve.

Seeing Chef Lin and Zi Ning leaving, the eldest princess's expression gradually regained her calmness, and her eyes glanced towards everyone in the room, her eyes were indifferent, but a trace of piercing everyone's hearts.

Seeing that the eldest princess's face was pale, King Huajun said anxiously: "Madame's headache is better? The smell of blood in the house is all over the house, don't rush into Madame, it's better to go back to the room and rest first." ”

The eldest princess waved her hand, "It's okay." Instead of looking at King Huajun's anxious face, his eyes were only on Ligu, and then at Mama Yan, the two of them were shocked, and they wanted to open their mouths but didn't dare.

A maid next to her immediately picked up the incense stove, wisps of soft aroma emerged from the lid, and the light smoke drifted into the air and swirled, gradually spreading. The eldest princess took a deep breath, her face was expressionless, and she slowly closed her eyes, and everyone held their breath, and no one dared to make a sound.

Aunt Li didn't expect that the eldest princess cared so much about Zining, but she couldn't be blatantly disobedient, her hands were tightly twisted with her handkerchief, and she was secretly resentful in her heart, she was an aunt in charge, and she was not as good as two inferior slaves! In front of everyone, the eldest princess didn't leave her a little face, so that she was humiliated alive. It's all those two cheap maids, and if they find an opportunity in the future, they will definitely be worse off than dead!

His face blushed for a long time, and he muttered, "It's just two low-level maids, and it's not worth it to die." ”

The eldest princess opened her eyes suddenly, two cold rays of light shot out, and said coldly: "Ligu's words, this palace feels that it is not a fate, isn't the life of a slave and maid?

The room was silent. After a while, the eldest princess sighed slowly and shook her head with a sneer. The hearts of the people are sinister, and it seems that even in the palace, it is difficult to find a place of peace.

There was a wave of tiredness and dissipation in her eyes, and only in the spring garden that she quietly accompanied that person, listening to a lingering piano sound, chanting each other, and drawing with two brushstrokes, it was the perfect place for her to belong in her heart.

Aunt Li's face turned even redder with shame, she knew in her heart that she would not gain any benefit by fighting any longer, but she didn't want to lose face, so that everyone in the house couldn't raise her head, and couldn't help but defend: "Chef Lin and that girl are in charge of the dishes for the luncheon, if they are not poisoned, who else can it be?

Everyone around was secretly frightened, this Ligu was really a stupid person, she didn't know what she was going to do, and the eldest princess hadn't figured it out yet. This strong rhetoric is just self-inflicted humiliation and shamelessness.

Sure enough, the eldest princess took a sip of tea, lowered her eyebrows, and said lightly: "This palace doesn't want to bother more, Chef Lin was brought into the mansion by this palace, and she has been loyal and conscientious for more than ten years, and she has never made any mistakes, so how could she poison and murder the county lord?

"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and the eldest princess put the teacup on the table. Seeing this, everyone was taken aback, and the little county lord's face changed immediately, and his hands shook involuntarily.

King Huajun immediately turned his head and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't need to be like this, but let this king be embarrassed." He was silent for a long time just now, and he also had a hint of favoritism for Ligu, and when he saw that the eldest princess was really angry, he couldn't help but speak out.

The little county lord showed a look of sincere fear, hurriedly got up and saluted, and said cautiously: "Mother and mother should take care of their body, for this matter, how to let her daughter deal with herself, it actually shows her daughter's unfilial piety." After a long pause, his eyes were a little resentful, "Isn't my mother worried about Tong'er, if I accidentally eat those meals, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to see Tong'er at this moment." ”

She lowered her head and pouted, her arms hanging down, her hands nervously twisting the handkerchief, and her face was a little pale. The hairpin on the bun trembled slightly, which made her even more beautiful, which made everyone around me feel pity.

The princess said lightly: "Tong'er in this palace is a noble body, a golden body, and she is blessed by the gods, how can she be harmed by traitors." His eyes swept to the slaves and maids standing behind the little county lord, and said in a cold voice: "You slaves who don't grow up, how many times has this palace said that the county lord is young and has no worldly affairs, and everything needs more care and persuasion, how can she be contaminated with such bloody things!"

Suddenly, the mother-in-law who knelt down in a row said in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't dare!"

The little county lord turned his head left and right, looked at the slaves and maids kneeling all over the ground around him, he felt a little aggrieved, pursed his mouth but didn't dare to speak, his eyes turned twice, and he almost burst into tears.

Aunt Li and Mama Yan looked at each other for a moment, with helplessness in their eyes, but more unwillingness. ————
