"Dang——Dang——Dang——"

The gong sounded at the third watch. In the silent night, the sound of the gong was so penetrating that the heartbeats of the servants kneeling in the main room shook with the sound of the gong. Shocked.

The grandma in charge of purchasing for the inner courtyard and the women in charge of the small Buddhist hall were all brought.

"Your Majesty!" Aunt Tian, ​​who was in charge of purchasing, looked carefully at the piece of incense placed on the ground and exclaimed, "I don't know anything about this slave. The candles, incense, and paper used in the small Buddhist hall cost a few dollars." For the past ten years, I have been buying from the time-honored Li Family Shop in the city. Master, please ask everyone in this house. No one knows this!" Given her great courage, she would not dare to tamper with the incense candles. ! At most, she would just go to Li's shop to get some oil and water.

The three women who were responsible for guarding and cleaning the small Buddhist hall on weekdays kowtowed and said: "Master, I don't know anything!" They learned from a cup of tea that there was something wrong with the incense in the Buddhist hall. , the women still feel like they are dreaming until now. How is this possible? !

One of the women in brown clothes boldly said: "Your Majesty, there are tablets for the old prince, old princess, second master, and the late princess in the Buddhist hall. The slaves are working diligently every day, not even a moment. Don’t dare to leave.”

The other two women also nodded with concern. If there was any chance of the masters' memorial tablets, giving them a hundred heads would not be enough for the prince and the prince to chop them off.

Although the errands in this small Buddhist temple are easy, they do not dare to be careless for a moment.

Xiao Yi smiled coldly, "I mean, you don't know there's something wrong with this fragrance?"

Mother Tian and the other women were frightened out of their wits, and they loudly defended themselves: "Your Majesty, I really don’t know."

Xiao Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense, his cold eyes fell on them, and ordered: "In this case, what's the use of keeping you. Drag them down and kill them with a stick!"

Death with a stick? ! Nanny Tian and the ladies almost collapsed and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!" Their hearts were chilled and shrouded in despair. No one in the palace knew that His Majesty always meant what he said. !

Xiao Yi gave the order, and immediately several big-bodied and round-waisted women stepped forward with smiles on their faces, saying "I'm offended"...

"Wait!"

At this time, an old and gentle male voice suddenly spoke, and everyone followed the sound subconsciously.

Lin Jingchen said in a deep voice: "Ayi, I want to ask them a few questions."

Nanny Tian's eyes suddenly lit up. The only person in the palace who could persuade the prince was the prince's concubine, but the prince's concubine was seriously ill and couldn't afford it. At this time, the only one who could save them was Old Mrs. Lin.

"Old Master, please have mercy!" They begged Lin Jingchen for mercy again, thinking of the parent-like nature of a doctor. If Old Master Lin was willing to help persuade the prince, then they would be saved!

Seeing this, Xiao Yi frowned and glanced at them impatiently.

Since this incense ring is poisonous, there is either a problem with the purchase, or it was secretly replaced in the small Buddhist hall. There is no way to escape these two reasons. These thieves certainly didn't know anything about this, they were just hiding it deliberately for fear of being punished and implicated.

He doesn't want to waste time dealing with a few minions.

If you want to say it, just say it. If you don’t want to say it, just kill it with a stick.

However, Mrs. Lin was willing to give them another chance, and Xiao Yi did not stop him. He bowed respectfully and said, "Grandpa, please do it!"

Lin Jingchen turned to look at the women and asked, "Who has been to the small Buddhist hall in the past twenty days?"

The ladies looked at each other, and the word "kill with a stick" seemed to linger in their ears. They all knew that if the Crown Prince couldn't find out the reason today, their lives would definitely be in danger.

Thinking of this, the boldest woman in brown clothes immediately replied honestly: "Back to the old man, in addition to the imperial concubine who goes to the Buddhist temple to offer incense every few days, every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the concubine Wei and the third concubine will go to the Buddhist temple to offer incense. The master, the second wife, the third wife, and several girls and young masters also often go to the Buddhist temple to offer incense. By the way, on the fifth day of this month, after receiving the good news from the prince, the prince also went there..."

While talking, the woman in brown clothes was thinking: Could it be that Mrs. Lin suspected that someone had secretly changed the incense ring while going to the Buddhist hall to offer incense?

If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.

On weekdays, after the masters finished offering incense, they would just take a cursory glance to see if anything had been left behind or the incense candles had been knocked over... When they glanced around, they saw that there was nothing unusual in the Buddhist hall. He also closed the door of the Buddhist hall.

Could it be said that it was really done by a certain master in the palace?

The women looked at each other in shock, not daring to think about it any more.

They were all kneeling there tremblingly. Now, why are they still thinking so much? Saving their own lives is the key.

Lin Jingchen was stroking his beard and thinking: Yue'er must have been poisoned for more than half a month, and King Zhennan only went to the small Buddhist hall once on the fifth day of the lunar month. The time does not match up, so it must be Not the King of Zhennan.

As for the others...

Lin Jingchen thought for a while and asked: "Do you have the name and date of registration?"

The women looked at each other again. The people coming and going in the Buddhist hall were not taking things from the warehouse, so why would they register them in the register!

They racked their brains to recall for a while, and a woman in Tsing Yi said cautiously: "Returning to the old master, although I have never recorded it, I still remember which days and people have been here in the past half month." I only know a few words, so why don't I let my slave dictate it? Can I ask any girl to help me write it down?"

Xiao Yi made a gesture to Baihui, and Baihui took the woman in green to the west room next door. The rest of the people secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads with their sleeves.

If you can escape this disaster, you should really go to the temple and worship!

What happened next had nothing to do with Granny Tian, ​​so she was temporarily taken out to look after her, while the other two women knelt there and waited.

After they waited nervously for half a cup of tea, they saw Baihui and the woman in green come out of the west room one after another. Baihui respectfully presented the list to Lin Jingchen, Xiao Yi He also went over to look at the list with Lin Jingchen.

After Lin Jingchen quickly scanned the list, he asked: "On what day did you put on this incense ring?"

"The first day of this month!" The woman in green clothes replied hurriedly, "At that time, the slave and Mrs. Hu changed together."

The other woman in blue nodded in agreement.

Lin Jingchen took up his pen and crossed out several names with his pen, such as Xiao Che, Qiu, Xin and other people who went to the Buddhist temple before the first day of this month and after the fifth day of this month. After being eliminated first, the remaining names are the names of the second young master Xiao Luan and several girls' families.

After Xiao Yi and Lin Jingchen scanned the list, their eyes fell on Xiao Ni's name. The others only went to the Buddhist temple once in the past half month, but Xiao Ni went twice...

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. The stinky girl talked to him about almost everything. Even when he was not in Luoyue City, Nangong Yue would tell him in detail some daily trivial matters in the letter. In his impression, Xiao Ni She didn't have any bad relations with the stinky girl. The stinky girl even mentioned that it was not easy for a girl like Xiao Ni, and she planned to take her with her and teach her... Could it be her?

Lin Jingchen stroked his beard and asked, "I see Miss Xiao San often goes to the Buddhist hall. Is she usually like this?"

The ladies were stunned for a moment, thinking: Could it be that Mrs. Lin suspected that it was the third girl?

"Go back to the old man," the woman in green clothes still replied respectfully, "the third girl is filial and often goes to the Buddhist hall to offer incense to the old prince and the second master, at least two or three times a month."

"Yes." The woman in brown clothes nodded and agreed, "The third girl is filial and kind to the slaves. Last time, she asked Miss Sangrou to share some snacks with the slaves." Among the girls in the palace, Xiao Fei was aloof and rude, Xiao Rongying was delicate and domineering, and Xiao Ni had a good temper and was very kind to the servants.

Xiao Yi frowned and asked: "Third girl, did you share the snacks? What did she use to pack the snacks?"

The woman in green clothes didn’t have time to think about it, and she blurted out intuitively: “A food box.”

The other two women thought of something and looked a little ugly. Could it be that...

Xiao Yi's voice was a little colder, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes: "She brings a food box every time she goes to the Buddhist hall? What about the others? Do the others have baskets or food boxes? "If the poisoner took the opportunity to go to the Buddhist temple to offer incense and replaced the incense ring in the Buddhist temple, then he would not have gone to the Buddhist temple empty-handed.

The three women looked at each other again, whispered to each other, and then followed the woman in brown and replied: "My lord, the three girls will bring some offerings every time they go to the Buddhist temple. In addition to the three girls, there are also Even the crown prince, the eldest daughter, and the second wife sometimes bring baskets, food boxes, etc."

Speaking of what happened later, the woman in brown clothes was already trembling with fear. When the prince asked, could it be that the one who harmed the prince’s concubine was really the third girl who was always kind?

The women swallowed, their hearts suddenly lifted, and they knelt there with lowered eyes.

Xiao Ni! Xiao Yi's face was as dark as water. His stinky girl had a good temper and treated everyone in the palace as a family member. Unexpectedly, she raised a white-eyed wolf out of nothing!

"Here comes..."

When he was about to order someone to bring Xiao Ni, a little maid in a blue jacket trotted towards the main room. After crossing the threshold, she stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Old Master, please bring the second lady." The third girl came to ask to see the prince, and now the third girl is kneeling outside the courtyard..."

The little maid's expression was a little subtle. The second lady brought the third girl to Bixiaotang at this time, and as soon as she arrived, the third girl knelt at the entrance of the courtyard, which made people think too much.

The little maid is still not sure, but the three women kneeling in the main room are as clear as a mirror - they are really the three girls!

Xiao Yi's face was extremely ugly, gloomy and cold, and his whole body once again released a fierce murderous aura.

For a while, the women and maids in the main room didn't even dare to take a breath.

The emperor's wrath left millions of corpses floating and bloodshed thousands of miles away. Judging from their prince's style on the battlefield, it's not much different!

Xiao Yi said slowly: "Let her in!" His face was as cold as frost, and every word he said was as cold as ice slag.

The little maid who came to report was frightened just by hearing it. After responding, she hurried out.

The women in the main room were all dragged down. They were in charge of the small Buddhist hall, but they didn't even know that the incense ring was replaced by others. This poisonous incense ring would be somewhat different from the original one. Even the degree of fever is different. If they were more careful, they wouldn't have noticed it.

Given Xiao Yi's temperament, it is not an exaggeration to kill him with a stick, but Lin Jingchen thought that Nangong Yue was trying to gain good fortune and dissuaded him, so he only dragged him down and beat him fifty times, and withdrew from the job. Of course, the women only agreed to the promise. Although they had to be beaten, they managed to save their lives by a narrow margin, and they were only happy in their hearts.

After a while, the little maid came with Qiu and Xiao Ni. Both mother and daughter looked extremely ugly, especially Xiao Ni, who looked like a broken flower swaying in the wind and rain, almost It’s about to wither...

Xiao Ni’s demeanor and expression are all an answer.

Bai Hui's heart sank. The imperial concubine praised the third girl very much, saying that she was gentle yet fierce. How could the third girl do such a vicious and cruel thing? !

In this strange, heavy and subtle atmosphere, Qiu mother and daughter walked side by side into the hall. Xiao Ni did not dare to look at Xiao Yi at all, and knelt directly on the cold ground with a "plop".

Ms. Qiu stood aside and met Xiao Yi's cold eyes.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Qiu came to Bixiaotang, and the first time he came to Nangong Yue's courtyard, but it was under such circumstances.

Since the death of Mr. Xiao Er, Mrs. Qiu has always been cautious in her words and deeds in the palace. She only hopes to raise a pair of children so that she can have an explanation for Mr. Xiao Er in the future. She has always been very comforted by the fact that her children have been sensible since they were young, but she did not expect that her daughter would suffer such a disaster!

"My in-laws, my eldest son." Mrs. Qiu greeted her with blessings, and then said solemnly, "Sister Ni, I have something to say..."

Until now, Ms. Qiu still felt a little like she was in a dream. Just now, under her questioning, her daughter truthfully told the truth about Miss Gu...

The more Qiu listened, the more frightened she became. Eventually, her whole body seemed to be soaked in ice water!

The daughter has clearly fallen into the trap of the other party. Every step of the other party is carefully planned, making the daughter fall into it like drinking poison to quench her thirst...

Ms. Qiu's heart was weighed down by a huge mountain, and she was in a state of confusion. She felt sorry for her daughter, but she also knew that the other party was not good at all. Her daughter seemed to be addicted to the medicine given by Miss Gu. I am afraid that the demand for it will increase in the future. It's so strong that the consequences will be unimaginable... Furthermore, if the prince wants to investigate his daughter's wrongdoing, he probably won't be able to hide it.

Thinking about it, there was a bitterness in Qiu's throat. After all, she was negligent and ignored her daughter's abnormal behavior during this period. She also blamed herself as a mother for not being able to discipline her well. Daughter, let her know nothing about the secrets in the back house, so she has fallen to this point.

Escape is useless, they must give an explanation to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!

So, Mrs. Qiu brought Xiao Ni here.

Even if this test is difficult, as a mother, she will always accompany her daughter to get through it!

I just hope that the prince will leave a way for his daughter and second wife to survive for the sake of them taking the initiative to confess.

Ms. Qiu looked down at Xiao Ni who was kneeling on the ground, met her confused eyes, and nodded slightly to her.

As if she gained strength from it, Xiao Ni mustered up the courage to look at Xiao Yi and said: "Brother, I'm sorry, I replaced the incense in the Buddhist hall..."

Her voice became softer and softer, but she still gritted her teeth and said: "It was a girl Gu who forced me to do this."

The first time I met Miss Gu in Huanxi Pavilion, the other party "approached" her with ulterior motives, but on New Year's Eve, she was stupid enough to take the medicine given by a stranger... As a result, I made one wrong step, and then I fell into the quagmire. The more I struggled, the deeper I fell...

To make such a huge mistake.

Xiao Yi stared at Xiao Ni fiercely, like a lone wolf staring at its prey, as if he was about to bite him at any time, and his ferocious aura was intimidating.

Miss Gu? ! Baihui raised her eyebrows in surprise and couldn't help but think of someone.

After getting Xiao Yi's permission, Baihui asked, "Could it be that Miss Gu from Huanxi Pavilion?"

Xiao Ni nodded gently.

Baihui quickly reported what happened in Huanxi Pavilion to Xiao Yi. She only knew that Miss Gu "saved" Xiao Ni from an asthma attack, but as for how Miss Gu later became involved with Xiao Ni , and how to get Xiao Ni to do such a thing, Baihui didn't know.

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Ni again. Although he wanted to kill her with one knife, he still had many questions to ask her.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, managed to calm down a little, and asked: "Xiao Ni, did Miss Gu give you this incense ring?"

He directly named Xiao Ni, obviously no longer regarding Xiao Ni as his sister.

Xiao Ni bit her white lower lip and nodded: "...After Miss Gu gave me the incense ring, she ordered me to put it in the small Buddhist hall... She swore that the incense ring was It won’t endanger my sister-in-law’s life. That’s why I..."

She also knew that her words were so weak, but she really had no other choice. When her "illness" broke out, it was really worse than death, and she wanted to cut herself off again. One knife...

At that moment, all she could think about was medicine!

She tried to get through it again and again, but her weakness was proved time and time again. For the "medicine", she was like a bug stuck in a spider web, struggling to death, but only getting stuck more and more. The tighter...

Thinking of the difficulty of the "illness", Xiao Ni's face became even more ugly, and her heartbeat skipped a beat.

After Xiao Ni took a deep breath, she lowered her head and murmured: "...Brother, I regret it, I really regret it. So I went to the Buddhist hall again on the seventh day of the lunar month, originally I wanted to I changed the Huanxiang back, but I didn’t expect the third aunt to come..." She was afraid that Mrs. Xiao San would find out, so she didn’t dare to change the Huanxiang. After that, she wanted to go to the Buddhist temple again, but she was afraid that going too often would arouse suspicion. , I thought about going there in a few days, but I didn’t expect that my sister-in-law would become ill in just a few days, and she was dying...

This is all her fault!

Xiao Ni's body trembled violently, and she felt a coldness rising from her heart...

Her pale lips trembled slightly, but no one noticed her abnormality. They only thought that she was because of fear and panic...

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then asked in a cold voice: "Xiao Ni, where is that Miss Gu?"

Xiao Ni shook her head anxiously and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know, every time, Miss Gu takes the initiative to come to me..."

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, his eyes became colder, and said: "In that case, go and lead the person out for me!"

His tone was commanding, not giving Xiao Ni the slightest hint of doubt.

Xiao Ni's body trembled even more violently. Although she was scared, she still agreed immediately.

Beside her, Mr. Qiu couldn't hide her worry, holding the handkerchief tightly with both hands: I don't know where this girl Gu came from. Since she dared to take action against the Crown Princess, she might have accomplices by her side. It must be extremely dangerous for my daughter to rush to make bait, but now, this is the only way to make her daughter atone for her sins and let the prince calm down...

At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly looked in the direction of the door curtain. The next moment, he heard the sound of lifting the curtain, and then a cyan figure quickly came out of the inner room and walked towards Xiao Yi and Lin Jingchen. Come.

"Grandpa, Ayi, Yue'er is awake!" Han Qixia's little face bloomed with a smile of joy, and she said in a high-pitched voice.

Xiao Yi stared blankly, no longer caring about the people in this room, he immediately strode away, lifted the curtain and rushed into the inner room. Lin Jingchen followed closely and entered the inner room.

Is sister-in-law okay? ! Xiao Ni felt relieved, as if she had lost her support, and she collapsed softly. Her breathing suddenly became rapid and heavy, sweat poured down her forehead, and her body curled up like a shrimp...

"Third Miss!" Sang Rou cried out, her face as pale as paper.
