Chapter 18 Let Go
Cui Xiu watched the three people come back together. Xiao Cui knelt on the ground, crying and begging for her life. She probably had an idea in her heart what kind of situation this matter was.
“Get up and talk first.”
Cui Xiu said, signaling Qiu Feng to pull Xiao Cui up. After Xiao Cui got up, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Cui Xiu.
"What's your name? What did you do?" Cui Xiu thought. Although he guessed it, he didn't completely guess it.
The guess is that this palace maid should be the one who drugged her, but for what reason did she drug her?
In Cui Xiu’s impression, he did not seem to have had any unpleasant experiences with this palace maid. She rarely punished the palace maids severely, so they all said that the palace maids in Chuxiu Palace were better than other palaces. Do a lot.
“Returning to Concubine Jia, I am Xiaocui from Ningcai Palace.”
“It’s me.”
“I gave the concubine the medicine. ." Xiao Cui choked out her words, and Cui Xiu captured a message.
That is "Ningcai people".
Is this palace maid Xiao Cui? Cui Xiu remembered that Chunfeng mentioned this palace maid a few days ago. At that time, Chunfeng thought she was behaving strangely, but now it was easier to explain.
Chunfeng looked at Xiaocui, with an expression of incomprehension on her face. She looked at Xiaocui and said, "Xiaocui, you."
Chunfeng looked at Xiaocui with her head lowered. He turned his head to look at Cui Xiu, his brows furrowed, wanting to say something.
But Chunfeng didn't know how to say it. Xiaocui herself admitted that she drugged their Lady Jia Fei, so what else could she have to explain to her.
When Cui Xiu saw that Chunfeng wanted to say something, she glanced at Chunfeng and said, "Chunfeng, just say what you have to say."
Concubine Yun Gui, who was sitting aside, had no intention of intervening. , she still couldn't see clearly what the situation was. After listening to Cui Xiu's words, her eyes glanced at Chunfeng subconsciously, and then looked back.
Chunfeng got Cui Xiu's approval, and she said: "My queen, you still remember what I told you at that time."
"Xiao Cui is an honest person, and he usually even talks about it. I don’t dare to say a word.”
“How could she dare to drug you?” Chunfeng said to Cui Xiu only based on his understanding of Xiaocui over the years. these words.
After Cui Xiu heard Chunfeng's words, she nodded, then threw the words to Xiaocui and said, "What do you think?"
"Empress, you'd better punish me directly!"
“I have nothing to say.”
Xiao Cui’s mouth was quite stiff and she did not directly say what Cui Xiu wanted to hear.
Concubine Yun Gui listened to the side and got a general idea, so she helped Cui Xiu and said, "Xiao Cui, you have to think about it clearly before talking about it."
"You can't just risk your life for a little benefit from some people."
"It's not worth it."
Concubine Yun knows how to manipulate people's hearts. When the words came to this, Xiao Cui, who had been speaking harshly just now, suddenly panicked.
As Chunfeng said, Xiaocui cannot hide anything. All his thoughts and feelings are written on his face, making it difficult for people not to see it.
Xiao Cui tremblingly defended: "Mother, I really don't have one."
"I'm obsessed, empress."
Although Xiaocui was very scared, she still didn't tell the truth, as if someone was suppressing her and not letting her tell the truth.
Seeing that Xiaocui refused to speak, Cui Xiu let Qiu Feng and the others speak first. She said, "Qiu Feng, you go ahead."
The palace maid brought by Concubine Yun called out Mingruo, because she knew some medical skills and knew some medicine, was kept by Concubine Yun to use.
"My dear, Miss Mingruo just looked at this medicine dregs, there is nothing special about it."
"It's the anti-fetal medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhang for you."
Qiu Feng replied to Cui Xiu's words, and Mingruo, who was standing aside with the medicine residue, said respectfully: "Returning to Concubine Jia, this There is really nothing special about the medicine residue. ""But when we got there, this girl Xiao Cui was already there."
"She was still sneaky, I don't know. What are you doing?"
The meaning of Mingruo's words was very clear. She felt that the problematic medicinal residue might have been replaced by Xiaocui in advance, and the remaining medicinal residue was indeed fine.
Qiu Feng continued what Ming Ruo said: "Miss Ming Ruo is right, Xiao Cui's behavior is really unexplainable."
Cui Xiu looked at these people, scanned them for a week, and finally focused on Xiao Cui As soon as Xiaocui came, he told her to condemn him, as if he was afraid that she would not condemn him.
Wouldn’t it be a good thing if we were not convicted? Her reaction was really abnormal.
It’s strange that she doesn’t defend herself and keeps asking for punishment.
People may be naive or simple-minded, but people will not give up the opportunity to survive, because this is the most basic ability.
Could it be that Ning Cairen promised some benefit to Xiaocui, so she was so loyal?
Cui Xiu: "Xiao Cui, I can also give you the benefits that Ning Cai people have given you."
Cui Xiu: "If you recruit them from the ground, I might be able to spare you. Once."
Cui Xiu: "If you keep refusing to tell me, then I will have to take you to find Ning Cai."
Cui Xiu said with cold eyes. Glancing at Xiao Cui coldly, she wanted to see if she could scare Xiao Cui into speaking out.
Seeing this, Concubine Yun Guifei on the side also said something: "Xiao Cui, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero."
"It is a good thing to be loyal."
"But this The premise is to choose the right master, not to be loyal to everyone."
"Be loyal to the wrong person, and your head will move if you are not careful."
Xiao Cui was killed. Concubine Yun's eyes suddenly widened when she was threatened like this. She had never thought that she would move her head. She knelt on the ground with a "pop--" and lowered her head as if she felt how guilty she was. Explained everything.
Xiaocui: "Empress Jiafei, Sister Chunfeng has always treated me very well. I am really grateful to her, so I have never hidden anything from her."
Xiaocui: "It's just that I'm stupid. I'm not popular on weekdays."
Xiao Cui: "Ning Cairen doesn't think I'm stupid, so she asked me to do things for her."
Xiao Cui: "I was obsessed with it for a while. "Dose the medicine."
Cui Xiu listened to what Xiao Cui said, nodded and looked at Concubine Yun, who also looked at Cui Xiu, and the two looked at each other.
Cui Xiu said: "It would have been better if I had told you earlier."
"In this way, I keep my word, and I hope you didn't really hurt me."
" I'll spare you this once."
When Concubine Yun heard Cui Xiu's words, she originally wanted to speak, but she saw that Cui Xiu had a plan, so she didn't intervene.
"You go back first." Cui Xiu asked Xiaocui to go out.
Seeing that there were no outsiders here, Concubine Yun Gui said, "Sister, how could you let her go?"
"Although she didn't really harm you."
"But her If you have evil intentions, you will inevitably not take action against you in the future."
Cui Xiu listened to Concubine Yun and said with a smile, "She is just a target."
"No. The target is released, where are the arrows?”
