Chapter 186

"Since you said that Xiaomi from the concubine's yard sent the wooden box, then let Xiaomi come up for questioning." Ning Erlan directly ignored Lingcao's rebuttal, and instead came to sit next to Wei Lingxiao.

The cry of Lingcao was like being stuck in the throat by a dumpling of glutinous rice, unable to get up or down, her face was blushing, and she could only look at Wei Lingxiao with red eyes and aggrieved, that expression was called a sad look!
When Xiaomi in Lange was brought over, she looked a little strange, and if you looked closely, you could find that she was trembling.

"Slaves see the prince, concubine, side concubine."

Looking at Xiaomi who was almost lying on the ground, Lin Yanyan said softly, "Are you the Xiaomi who is serving in the princess' yard?"

"Returning to the side concubine, the servant girl is right."

"The princess asked you to deliver a box of things to Aunt Zhang's yard this morning, but is it true?" Lin Yanyan continued.

The panic in Xiaomi's eyes was even worse, but because he lowered his head, he couldn't see clearly. "Yes, it was the concubine who asked the servant to deliver a box to Aunt Zhang, saying that it would help Aunt Zhang's illness..."

Lin Yanyan asked someone to bring the box containing spices to her and said, "Look at this box, is it the one you brought this morning?"

Xiaomi just raised his eyes a little and then nodded hastily. "Yes, it was brought by the servant girl."

"Xiaomi, it's fine if you eat this food indiscriminately and ruin your stomach, but talking nonsense and slandering your master is a serious crime. The princess and the prince left the mansion together this morning, and the prince was still in the concubine's room at the time. Does the concubine want to secretly ask you to bring things to Aunt Zhang behind the prince's back?" Ning Erlan didn't speak, but Xinyue snorted coldly.

Xiaomi didn't expect Xinyue to say that, and the panic on his face became even worse. "Yes, it was the concubine who secretly ordered the servants...Princess, you clearly told the servants to deliver the things, why are you denying it now?"

Looking at Xiao Ning Erlan who questioned herself so "rightly and confidently", she suddenly felt a little nauseous, thinking that this wild idea was stimulated by the person in front of her.

"The concubine's yard is not small. If you really want to do something shameful behind your back, it's not impossible." Aunt Ma glanced at Aunt Zhang and Ning Erlan and whispered.

"Aunt Ma is right. The prince is only in the house, so he can't see the situation outside the yard."

Aunt Ma looked up in surprise, she didn't expect Ning Erlan to answer her words.

"That means you admit that you let Xiaomi take this thing to harm me?"

"Don't get excited, Aunt Zhang. This morning I did ask Xiaomi to take away the incense ashes that were burned in the house yesterday, but I don't know how the incense ash turned into incense powder for Aunt Zhang? I don't know you When did you learn to juggle?"

Hearing what Ning Erlan said, Xiaomi was even more startled and felt that his breathing was about to become stiff.But she still said stubbornly: "Princess, don't wrong the servant girl, the servant girl obviously took incense powder, and, how could it be incense ashes?"

"Although Aunt Zhang is favored by the lord, she is just a concubine after all, so why should you..." Hearing this, Lin Yanyan looked at Ning Erlan with a sigh, and the meaning in these words was even stronger. It was the fact that Ning Erlan murdered Aunt Zhang was confirmed invisibly.

"My concubine can't agree with Concubine Lin's words. It's my fault now that I came to treat her with good intentions. Since you slaves don't admit it, then don't blame my concubine for being rude!" Ning Erlan said delicately There was a sneer on his face, and his eyes slowly passed over Lingcao, Xiaomi and the others, his deep black eyes seemed to be able to see through them at a glance.

"Xinyue, take someone to search in Lan Pavilion, especially Xiaomi's house, and see if the tripod incense burner I mentioned is hidden in her house. Also, you should smell the incense powder carefully. Smell, I will go later to see if there is any silk or the like that is also contaminated with this smell. To be fair, let the Ganoderma lucidum go with it."

When Xiaomi on the ground heard what Ning Erlan said, this person became ashamed, and his lips trembled unconsciously.

Ning Erlan turned to Aunt Zhang, glanced at Ling Cao lightly, and said, "The maids in Aunt Zhang's room are really unique, I don't know if they are the ones the prince likes?" The latter words were aimed at Wei Lingxiao Said.

Wei Lingxiao, who had purified himself into the air, didn't even lift his eyelids.Everyone thought that he couldn't speak, but they didn't want a deep word to float out of his lips. "It does have two points of beauty."

One sentence made the women in the room think differently.What I hate the most is probably Aunt Zhang. Just after she learned that she would not be able to conceive in the future, the maids in her courtyard wanted to invite favors in front of Wei Lingxiao!What a shameless bitch!He couldn't help thinking about what Ning Erlan said just now.

If Lingcao wants to harm herself for the sake of superiority, it is not impossible!

But...use this opportunity to pull Ning Erlan down...

But then Aunt Zhang thought that she would not be able to conceive in the future, even if Ning Erlan was brought down cheaply, it was not someone else!

Xinyue soon came back with Lingzhi.

"Reporting to the lord and concubine, the servant found the incense cauldron that the concubine put in the house yesterday under Xiaomi's collapse. The incense ash in it was not poured out. A piece of silk cloth was also distributed under the soft pillow, but the servant could not smell that there was someone coming to the house. What a smell, but I still brought it back."

Ning Erlan looked down at the piece of silk, asked Xinyue to show it to the doctor waiting outside, and turned to look at Xiaomi.

"Are you going to say that my concubine ordered you to hide this incense cauldron in your house? This cauldron is just a copper vessel and is not priceless. Even if you want to steal it, you will never choose it. How do you explain this?"

Xiaomi was asked so that his eyeballs rolled back and forth. "This, this..." For a long time, he couldn't think of a reasonable excuse.

Xinyue came back with the silk cloth that she brought to the doctor for examination. "Princess, the doctor said that the silk cloth has a smell of incense powder. Although it is faint, you can still smell it when you smell it carefully."

"Lingcao, what is this?" Ning Erlan took out a dead grass from her purse and showed it to Lingcao.

Ling Cao looked up and blurted out without having time to think, "This is Matthew Grass."

Ning Erlan curled her lips into a smile, and lightly fiddled with the dried Matthew Grass on her hand. "This Matthew grass is not common, and it is still dried. You can recognize it at a glance, which shows that your understanding of medicine is not as simple as that. According to Lingzhi, she has been burning this incense powder since the morning. , it is impossible for you to go in and out of Aunt Zhang's room without asking about the weirdness inside, but you didn't say anything at that time..."

Ning Erlan understood what she said so clearly. Although Aunt Zhang was impulsive, she was definitely not a fool. She quickly understood, pointed at the spirit grass tremblingly and said sharply: "You bitch, why did you come into the house today? Didn't you tell me that there is musk in the incense? Even if you don't know Zixucao, don't you also understand musk? Are you looking for revenge when I don't give you close service and don't give you a chance to get close to the prince? In this way, you will have a chance to be in the position? You lowly maidservant, it's a waste of my usual treatment of you, and you will collude with others to do such a low-level thing to me!"

"My lord, my lord has been wronged. I really didn't notice anything unusual at that time. My lord, please check..."

"My lord, at that time the concubine asked the servant to bring it over. The servant really didn't know what it was..." Xiaomi also followed Lingcao to beg for mercy, but he kept silent about the cauldron.

Lin Yanyan watched from the sidelines, her mind spinning. "My lord, it's too far-fetched to say that two servant girls framed Aunt Zhang, and that fragrance powder is not worthy of anyone."

"The side concubine is right. It is true that this fragrance powder is not so easy to obtain. It is even more difficult to mix it in such a short period of time and combine it with the medicine prescribed by my concubine to achieve the desired result." She just opened it last night. Fang Zi was framed by someone this morning. Not only is this person deeply scheming, but he is also surprisingly efficient.

Wei Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, looked at Lingcao who was kneeling at his feet begging for mercy, and said, "The reason why you hurt Aunt Zhang so much is to get my king's favor?"

His words made the room instantly quiet.

Lingcao only felt that the coldness and oppressive force revealed in these words were not something a little maid like her could bear.

"My lord, my servants don't dare, how dare my servants dare to think that they can be favored by the lord..."

"You hid the cauldron that the princess gave up on, and took the wooden box you prepared in advance to the Shude Court under the guise of the princess, in order to frame Aunt Zhang and the princess at the same time?" These words were addressed to Xiaomi.

After finishing speaking, Wei Lingxiao stood up and stood with his hands behind his back. "One wants to go beyond his identity, and the other is unfaithful to the Lord. They are all dragged out and killed with a stick." With one sentence, this matter has come to an end. Find out who the instigator behind this scene is, but Wei Lingxiao chose to let the two accomplice maids act as scapegoats.

"My lord, my lord, please spare this servant...The servant really didn't mean not to smell the fragrance powder..."

"My lord, this servant is willing to suffer all punishments..." Compared to Lingcao's begging for mercy, Xiaomi was limp on the ground, his face paler than the moonlight, and no anger could be seen at all.

"You guys are really confused, that's all, you can go with peace of mind, your family will be settled by the side concubine." Lin Yanyan looked at the two helplessly and said softly.

Hearing this, the spirit grass seemed to have been stimulated by something, and it shook violently.

"My lord, yes, it was the wangfei who ordered the servants. It was the wangfei who said that all the concubines of the lord would be killed. It was the wangfei..." Lingcao yelled frantically when she was finally dragged down.In the end it was gagged and pulled down.

The last cry of a person at the time of death is often the truth, which is a truth that many people know.Before dying, Lingcao said that Ning Erlan ordered it, which will probably make people believe that it is true!
"I don't know how the prince will punish the concubine!" Aunt Zhang's anger is still hard to dissipate, but how can the hatred in her heart be dispelled by disposing of the two maids?
"At this time, it has nothing to do with the princess. There is nothing wrong with the princess being by my side all the time. Now that you are not in good health, you can just rest." These words are on Ning Erlan's side.It shows that no matter what Lingcao said just now, it has nothing to do with Ning Erlan.

Feeling Wei Lingxiao's coldness, Aunt Zhang who wanted to speak again had to shut her mouth quietly.
