Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 279 Framed (seeking monthly ticket)

A feast of laughter and laughter actually hides murderous intentions!
A humble maid who intends to murder the crown princess!

At the same time, more than a dozen figures jumped down from the eaves, rushing in as quickly as lightning.

This is a group of well-trained East Palace secret guards, more than a dozen people formed a circle to protect Zhao Xiwei, with cold knives out of their sheaths and sharp arrows, all aimed at the guests outside.

The entire banquet hall suddenly became murderous!
The charming female family members had never seen such a scene before, their faces turned pale with fright, and they hugged each other tremblingly.

Their eyes widened, staring at the group of guards in horror.

A streak of bright red blood, like a crack, split the rosewood screen in two.

At that time, there was a sound, and Yuan Ce was the first to react.

It happened so suddenly, he turned over from the eaves and fell, with a throw of the long sword, the handmaid's finger was cut off...

More than a dozen swords pointed at the maid.

Gu Yuci drank calmly: "Keep alive!"

Yuan Ce looked at Zhao Xiwei: "Crown Princess..."

Zhao Xi glanced at the crowd, and lightly ordered: "Go and fetch cold water."

Yuan Ce was startled, his eyes fell on Zhao Xiwei's arms, and he immediately cupped his hands: "Yes."

When the tray was overturned just now, Jinxiu flew over and blocked the damage for Zhao Xiwei.

That is a bowl of boiling hot soup!

Zhao Xi slightly rolled up her sleeves, a blister the size of a fist had formed on her fair arm.

Mrs. Gu looked terrified, and was about to reach out her hand to do something, when she was lightly stopped by Zhao Xiwei, and Mrs. Gu was taken aback: "Prince Princess..."

Gu Yuci winked hurriedly, and Mrs. Gu withdrew her hand, showing shame: "Today's matter is all due to my lack of strict control, and my concubine is pleading guilty to the Crown Princess!"

Gu Yuci was not alarmed, she personally brought a water basin and stepped forward, soaked a cotton towel in cold water, and handed it over: "First apply the wound!"

Zhao Xiwei took the cotton towel and treated Jinxiu's wound in silence.

When she didn't speak, Mrs. Gu shut her mouth tactfully, and the rest of the people didn't dare to speak out.

Gu Yong walked in quickly, and glanced at his daughter inadvertently.

He knew this daughter best.

That year, he was arranged by his family to test Li Xuanye and failed, so he has always been brooding about it.

For so many years, I have been pushing myself hard, studying the art of war, studying poetry and books, and even actively trying to accept the things I resisted before...

He stared at Gu Yuci with dark eyes for a while, seeing that her expression remained calm as usual, he was slightly relieved.

After all, this kid is calm.

However, since she didn't arrange it, it must be someone else.

The Gu family has just returned to Beijing, and some people can't wait!

After thinking for a while, he turned to Zhao Xiwei, with a hint of self-blame on his face: "This matter happened in the Gu family, and I cannot absolve myself of the responsibility. I also ask the princess to give me half a day's grace. After my investigation is clear, I will be the number one." Time to report to the East Palace..."

Zhao Xiwei was helping Jinxiu to apply cold compresses to the wound, when he heard this, he smiled and glanced at Gu Yong.

She didn't think it was a deliberate act by the Gu family. Gu Yongcai returned to Beijing just when he didn't want to cause trouble. Even if he hated her, he wouldn't make a move at this time.

It's just that this old fox wants to be so perfunctory?
Wasn't she framed for nothing?
Zhao Xi got up slightly, wiped his hands with a cotton towel, threw them into the basin, and called softly, "Yuan Ce."

Yuan Ce stepped forward immediately: "This subordinate is here!"

She sat down in the chair, her eyes were cold, but her voice was gentle: "Look at you, once you make a move, you will make others see blood—"

Yuan Ce bowed and saluted: "The subordinates dare not, but the situation was urgent and there was no time to think about it!"

As the prince's personal guard, he has always been good at dealing with assassinations.

Just cutting off one of the maidservant's fingers is already considered his mercy...

According to normal standards, it should be the head that was cut off.

Zhao Xiwei stretched out a hand to rest on the armrest, and tapped lightly: "If it gets out tomorrow, you will know that you are eager to protect the Lord, loyal, and strong in martial arts. If you don't know, you will think It's Ben Gong who loves her and makes a fuss out of a molehill, adding fuel to the flames!"

He frowned, sighed lightly, and looked very nervous: "You know the temper of His Royal Highness, if you let him know, he will be angry, then I will not have a good life."

After speaking, he looked at Gu Yong again, and said with a smile, "Master Gu, what do you think?"

Yuan Ce was silent for a while, and said in his heart, Crown Princess, you really like to joke. If His Royal Highness knows about this, I don't know if you have a good life. The Gu family must not have a good life...

Yuan Ce understands the truth, how could an old fox like Gu Yong not understand?

Speaking of this point, it is impossible to gently uncover it.

He thought for a moment, then replied with a smile: "This servant girl deliberately murdered the Crown Princess, thanks to Guard Yuan's action, it will not cause a catastrophe. Thank you Yuan Shiwei, how can you make such a fuss over a molehill!"

Zhao Xi squinted his eyes slightly, and said politely: "Since it was a deliberate murder, there must be accomplices. Mr. Gu, why don't we interrogate him now?"

More than ten guards, with arrows on the string and knives in hand, how dare Gu Yong say no?

Under the horrified eyes of everyone, the handmaid who fainted was pulled out.

After Yuan Ce took people out for interrogation, the court was silent.

Everyone is anxiously waiting for a result.

On the other hand, Gu Yuci folded his hands on his chest, his beautiful eyes were still graceful, and he looked a bit indifferent.

In the death-like silence, someone in the corner clenched their teeth, Zhao Xi took a slight glance, and saw Zhao Chengyu looking anxiously behind the screen.

This idiot...

Being used by others without knowing it...

As Yuan Ce was the head of the Eastern Palace's hidden guards, his interrogation methods were naturally first-class and superb.

In just one cup of tea, the maid was lifted and thrown on the ground, he put his sword back into its sheath, and cupped his hands to report: "To the Crown Princess, my subordinates have found out the truth!" As he spoke, he coldly kicked the maid : "The evidence is conclusive, so hurry up and get it from the facts!"

The corners of Gu Yuci's mouth curled up, and he said with a leisurely smile: "Be on guard against everything, it's hard to guard against house thieves..."

Zhao Xi slightly flipped the tea tureen away, but didn't speak.

This Gu Yuci is smart, but he is too smart...

The servant girl suddenly woke up and shouted in a daze: "It's Miss Zhao! Zhao Chengyu! It's her! The slave girl was forced by her and had no choice but to beg the princess to spare her life!!!"

Zhao Chengyu stood up, but suddenly seemed to realize something, and sat down limply.

"Impossible!" Xu Yunjiao suddenly got up and kicked over, "You lowly servant girl, Zhao Chengyu has been by my lady's side all the time, how could I order you to do such a thing!"
