Chapter 270 The concubine of the Prime Minister’s Palace VS His Royal Highness the Crown Prince (59)
Only then did Ning Liangyuan realize that she felt uneasy as never before.
Subconsciously, he turned back to look at his personal maid, Xiaodong, with an inquiring look. Xiaodong's eyebrows were droopy and her face was pale.
Tang Yu saw the quarrel between the master and servant's eyebrows, and calmly picked up the handkerchief to cover the raised corners of his mouth.
The imperial doctor came forward to check the medicine, smelled it and took out something from the medicine box for comparison. After a while, the imperial doctor handed it over with respect.
"Your Highness, this medicine does contain ingredients that can disfigure your appearance, but it is not poisonous and does not harm the human body. This medicine is really rare, and I must identify it carefully."
The imperial doctor's words were equivalent to half of Ning Liangyuan's guilt, if conclusive evidence could be obtained later from the servants of Ruyan Palace.
Then Ning Liangyuan's crime of damaging the princess's appearance and intending to frame the emperor's heir was completely established
Ning Liangyuan, who was already worried, suddenly raised her eyebrows and pointed at the imperial doctor for not caring about his image.
"You quack doctor, you are talking nonsense. Ben Liangyuan doesn't have the medicine you mentioned at all. Have you been bribed by someone to deliberately frame me."
The imperial doctor couldn't accept such slander, and his face didn't look good.
"I just identified the medicine, and I have never been bribed by anyone!!"
Ning Liangyuan looked at Ning Chen again.
"Your Highness, I really have no intention of harming the Crown Princess. I have calmed down a lot since last time. I often burn incense and pray to Buddha with the Queen. How could I harm the Crown Princess? Moreover, this is Your Highness's child. I will never do it anyway. Harming your Highness’s child! Your Highness Mingjian!”
Tang Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Ning Liangyuan crying, but still looked at Ning Chen with affection and expectation, with unclear emotions in his eyes.
Don't wait for Ning Liangyuan to quibble.
soon.
Everyone in Ning Liangyuan's courtyard was brought up, and Ning Chen ordered Liu Dequan to go to the courtyard for interrogation.
The screams of execution were heard throughout the courtyard, and the interrogation yielded no results.
Ning Liangyuan, who had always been nervous, wiped her tears and breathed a sigh of relief, letting Xiaodong help her sit on the chair, and returned to her unruly look.
"Your Highness, I really don't know about this poison. Someone must have framed me. Just like the jade pendant last time, it's the same this time. The person behind this is so vicious. He wants to kill two birds with one stone to get rid of me, so I used my hands. To kill the Crown Princess, Your Highness must catch the murderer, restore my innocence and avenge the Crown Princess!”
Ning Liangyuan was like a victorious rooster. Although she spoke like this, her eyes were fixed on Concubine Wan.
It seems certain that Concubine Wan is the person behind this.
Not to be outdone, Wanrou stared back.
"Have you forgotten, Ning Liangyuan, that the servants in your palace are good at interrogating, but everyone knows that the confidant is a personal maid. The dowry maid standing next to you has not yet been interrogated, so the matter has not been concluded."< br>
"After all, we all have our own confidants. What secrets can we learn from those we just interrogated? It's just a matter of sweeping away the flowers and plants outside."
Concubine Wan was targeted again and again, so naturally she was no weakling.
She was bound to bite off a piece of flesh from Ning Liangyuan's body to teach her a lesson.
Concubine Wan not only wanted to target Ning Liangyuan herself, but also tried to get Tang Yu and Zhou Liangdi to join the battle.
"Furthermore, if you want to say who is the most flamboyant and annoying person in this house, it must be you Ning Liangyuan. Let's talk about Zhou Liangdi. She has a higher status than you, but you bully her for her weak character. She has never been polite and often insulted her. .”
"On weekdays, it's okay to be arrogant and domineering. Zhou Liangdi has a good temper and tolerates you, but Concubine Yu is the concubine that His Highness personally invited, and you are still not polite as usual. I don't know what you are relying on. It's you. The father of Zhongsheren? ”
Ning Liangyuan's chest rose and fell in anger.
She stared at Concubine Wan as if she wanted to go up and have a fight.
But she quickly calmed down, now was not the time to be angry.
What if Xiaodong is interrogated and Xiaodong may not survive?
She wasn't worried about Xiaodong's life or death, she was just worried that she would betray herself, especially since she had drugged Tang Yu before.
"Your Highness, do you really want to show no face to me like this?"
Tears fell, and she looked beggingly at Ning Chen, who was sitting in a high position without saying a word. I hope I can see even a hint of pity in my eyes.
But no.
Ning Chen gave the order decisively.
"Take Ning Liangyuan's personal maid down for interrogation."
Liu Dequan said yes, and with a wave of his whisk, the guard behind him stepped forward coldly and took Xiaodong's arm to take him away.
Xiaodong looked panicked and his face was extremely pale.
"Master, Master, please save me, save me!"
Ning Liangyuan swallowed, pursed her lips nervously, but did not give Xiaodong a look.
Xiaodong screamed and was pulled down.
Everyone present was not a human being, and anyone could see the abnormality in Ning Liangyuan's master and servant.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Xiaodong's screams soon sounded outside.
Ning Chen's interrogation of his servants was always about cutting through the mess with a sharp knife.
As Xiaodong's voice became weaker and weaker.
The hall also seemed to be trapped in an ice cellar.
Tang Yu also showed fear, hunching her shoulders, like the most delicate and pitiful little white flower in the wind and rain. Even in this situation, she still did not forget to act, deliberately acting delicate and pitiful but also measured.
Don't let your expression look ugly, be fragile and pitiful, and not look like a show to make people recognize it at a glance. You must also show Ning Chen the most beautiful angle, and never forget to capture his pity.
Sure enough.
Ning Chen's cold and strategizing expression touched Tang Yu's disguised weakness.
My heart aches and my heartache is unbearable.
Concubine Wan always pays attention to Ning Liangyuan, and typically refuses to let go of anyone she bites.
"Why does Ning Liangyuan look so scared? It's okay. If you have never poisoned anyone, your maid will only suffer some physical pain and will not be injured. Just remember not to like it next time. What kind of poison are you playing with? It’s too scary, and it can easily implicate yourself.”
As she spoke, Concubine Wan held a handkerchief to cover her mouth and laughed softly.
Ning Liangyuan's mind was disturbed by the screams outside.
She didn't have the energy to refute Concubine Wan's yin and yang aura.
Just when Ning Chen felt sorry for Tang Yu and wanted Liu Dequan to break his previous rules of punishment and execution and change the execution place, Liu Dequan quickly approached.
The guards behind him dragged Xiaodong, who was already covered in blood, into the hall.
"Your Highness, this maid was recruited and claimed that she was indeed ordered to poison her. However, she said that the poison was given to someone else, not the Crown Princess. As for why the poison ended up at the Crown Princess, we don't know."
Liu Dequan looked hesitant when he made the report, and did not say who instigated it or who was poisoned.
In fact, this maid's confession was beyond his expectation.
But there was nothing he could do if the maid said this to death.
Ning Chen, "Who ordered you?"
Xiaodong reluctantly knelt on the ground, her voice weak as she endured the pain.
"Go back to Your Highness, slave. This slave was ordered by Concubine Yu to poison Ning Liangyuan and frame Ning Liangyuan! Concubine Yu, please save this slave. I am very loyal to you."
