Queen Juan is here, run away

On the other hand, the interrogation of the people in Tingliyuan is in full swing.

The old nanny who interrogated Lihua went out to find Nanny Qin to confirm whether she had sent a maid to look for Lihua, and then asked Lu Jieyu.

After a circle, the old mother suddenly felt something strange about the governor, and asked someone to check on the maid, and learned that some new information had been obtained.

So come back and continue the interrogation.

This time the old lady changed her strategy and decided to get straight to the point, and asked sharply: "Wu Meiren, you ordered Xiaochan to poison Wu Meiren, is there such a thing?"

Lihua seemed to have just learned about it, with a surprised look on her face: "Was Miss Wu poisoned by Xiaochan?"

"Yes, it's her." The old nanny replied, and found that she was being led astray, and quickly corrected: "Don't talk about him, now you are talking about you, Xiaochan who you ordered!"

Lihua panicked and waved her hands again and again: "Mother, don't talk nonsense, when did I order her?"

The old nanny was somewhat satisfied with Lihua's reaction, and finally saw the normal reaction of being interrogated.

She continued to press: "You concealed the fact that you met Xiaochan this afternoon, isn't it just to cover up the truth? It's a pity that someone has seen the two of you meet!"

After that, Xiaochan went to find Lihua, and when she returned to Jinghong Hall, she knew that she would die, so she committed suicide in fear of crime.

The old mother jumped up against the case: "Wu Meiren, there is a suicide note, and someone has seen you meet her, and you still haven't confessed your crime!"

The old nanny agreed, but suddenly felt something was wrong, and she was led away again.

The old mother's expression was dull for a moment, and then she stood up suddenly: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

The old mammy Pilibala deduced that because Xiao Chan was abused by Wu Fang'er and held a grudge, she was instructed by Lihua to poison the fruit wine this afternoon and Wu Fang'er was poisoned to death.

Li Hua hesitated to speak: "Mama, can you allow me to say a word."

Speaking of this, Lihua thought of something: "By the way, Mother Qin invited me to Jinghong Palace, did mother apologise for me?"

Before she died, she saw the body of her master who had been with her for many years, and she wrote a suicide note with regret, and wrote all the truth in the suicide note.

Li Hua looked helpless: "But Xiao Chan is illiterate, how can she write a suicide note?"

The old mammy choked, thinking that it was indeed the case, seeing a servant girl was indeed insignificant, so it was wrong to mention it on purpose.

Lihua spread her hands: "I was about to say something just now, but Mammy interrupted me, so I won't let me speak."

Hearing halfway, the old mother frowned: "She was crying and begging you to go to Jinghong Palace?"

Regarding the questions that Lihua took the initiative to ask, the old mother had to let Lihua speak along.

She didn't have time to pay attention to Li Hua, so she hurried out, and when she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head and asked suddenly: "She is not your slave, how did you know that she is illiterate?"

"Say!" The old mama sneered again and again, she had seen many stubborn people.

The old mama was in a hurry, this is the key point of the case, if Xiao Chan is illiterate, there will be serious problems with the suicide note.

The old mother knew that what Lihua said was the key point, but she was dissatisfied with being pointed out by Lihua.

She murmured: "Except for the dead maid, the other servants of Jinghong Palace have never seen Wu Meiren from Shichu to Shen Shimo, she died at this time."

Lihua even disagreed: "Mama didn't ask, I met many people today, and I didn't know that it was Xiaochan who poisoned Wu Meiren before, why did I only say that I met her for no reason?"

The old mother's momentum weakened: "This..."

The old mother shook her head: "She has never invited you to Jinghong Palace, we have already sent someone to look for the maid you mentioned."

Grandma: "..."

The Empress Dowager sat on the main seat, under the main lamp, squinting her presbyopic eyes and opened up the various confessions before her eyes.

Lihua looked strange: "I said just now, I'm empty-handed, how can I be a guest? Besides, I also find it strange that the maid who invited me to Jinghong Palace ran away, and then Xiao Chan who begged me to go after death and life."

How can a person who can't even understand the palace rules be able to speak well? Lihua and Zhichun asked Xiaochan about Xiaochan's work in the host of ceremonies before coming here, which confirmed this point.

Next time...do you still want something to happen in the palace?
She felt that her interrogation this time was very passive, and her usual interrogation tactics didn't work. What the person in front of her said fit perfectly, and no loopholes could be found.

The main hall of Jinghong Hall.

"Ah, that's it." Li Hua was lost in thought, and then said, "If there is any news, please let me know, Madam."

The old nanny couldn't care anymore and left in a hurry.

She was very ashamed and interrupted directly: "That's enough, if you don't have any ghosts in your heart, why didn't you say what you saw with her at the beginning?"

The old mother asked back, "Then why don't you go?"

Lihua shook her head and denied: "Nurse, it doesn't mean anything that I met her this afternoon. I can't say that I ordered her. The key point is where the poison in Wu Meiren comes from. Has she figured it out?"

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Lihua was surprised, with a disapproving look on her face: "Then how do you convict me? You have to work hard, the palace rules prohibit poison. Who brought the poison in? Who owns it, how did it get to Xiao Chan in the end, if you find out these things, you will know who the real culprit is. As for the suicide note, maybe it was written by someone else..."

"Mommy is right, I will pay attention next time." Lihua nodded in agreement with this point, with a good attitude, and said proactively: "By the way, won't Mommy ask me the details of seeing her?"

Lihua explained unhurriedly: "My girl Zhichun, she learned the rules together with Xiao Chan in the master of ceremonies, and she told me that Xiao Chan was illiterate in the chat."

She slapped the table and said sternly: "Wu Meiren, don't make excuses anymore, there is a suicide note, no matter what, you can't clear up the fact that you ordered Xiaochan to poison Wu Meiren!"

She couldn't hold back her face, and said forcefully: "It's fine if you don't talk about it in the past, but today something happened in Jinghong Palace, you should tell the matter as soon as possible."

Lihua nodded: "Well, she also said that if I don't go, Miss Wu will beat her to death. I said how could it be, the palace is not allowed to kill slaves at will, and Miss Wu is a person who has learned the rules, so she will definitely not be like this, but But Xiaochan didn't believe it, and kept saying that if I didn't go, Wu Meiren would beat her to death."

Mother Qin nodded: "That's right. The other servants in Jinghong Palace said that Xiaochan, who is also Miss Wu's personal maid, brought the fruit wine into the hall by herself at about two o'clock before midnight. At that time, only Miss Wu and Xiaochan is in the hall, no one knows what happened."

She went on to say: "Not long after that, Xiaochan came out alone, and for the first time told the other servants in the name of Wu Meiren, that no one is allowed to enter the palace and should go farther away."

Nanny Qin pointed to a few confessions and corresponded them one by one, and all the slaves in Jinghong Palace agreed in their confessions.

The queen mother said "hmm": "So, this maid named Xiaochan was the one who poisoned her at that time. Because she was afraid that people would break her, she intentionally falsely conveyed the intention of Wu Meiren and didn't allow people to enter. Did anyone see her and return to the palace later?"

Mother Qin shook her head: "No, after listening to the order not to enter, the servants of Jinghong Palace followed suit and hid secretly, without the consciousness of obeying orders. As a result, Meiren Wu probably smashed the pot when she was poisoned. , No one heard such a big movement.”
