The poisonous girl becomes a phoenix

Chapter 178
Princess Jingyi ordered people to open the bird cage, took out the dead bird's body, looked at it silently for a moment, looked at the bloodstain at the corner of the bird's mouth, and then slowly turned around after a long while, looked at Su Xiyun and said without blinking: "This matter What exactly is it, I want to hear from you, I don’t believe a word of what other people say.”

Su Xiyun saw Xiuyue kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes, and her expression changed suddenly.

She raised her head and also looked at Princess Jingyi: "Do you believe everything I say?"

Princess Jingyi nodded without hesitation, and said, "As long as you tell me, I will believe it."

Su Xiyun smiled slightly, and said: "I don't know how the bird died, but Qianyun and I never touched a finger of the bird from the beginning to the end. The food and water were all fed by this maid herself. of."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiuyue, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted loudly: "Yes, I fed the food and water, but there is no poison in it at all! The birds died definitely not because the food was poisonous!"

Su Xiyun was still smiling, and the expression on her face didn't change at all. She glanced at Xiuyue and said calmly, "Oh? You fed it? Then what did you say just now that I fed it? Don't tell yourself?" The clouds are calm and the wind is light.But Xiuyue who was kneeling there turned pale.

Princess Jingyi immediately turned her head. She glanced at Xiuyue angrily, and said angrily, "Okay, you are the one who lied! Come on, give me fifty slaps!" Several servants came and went straight to Xiuyue who was kneeling there.

Seeing that those big palms like cattail leaf fans were about to come into close contact with her mouth, Xiuyue shouted anxiously: "Princess! The other words of this servant are true! When this servant went to the kitchen to get food, it was indeed true. Only the two young ladies are here! The slave must eat cleanly! If the bird died, it must be the hands and feet of the two of them who took advantage of no one to touch it! Otherwise, why did the slave die as soon as it was fed?"

After finishing these words, the big palms of the servants fell down mercilessly.

At this time, Princess Jingyi suddenly said: "Slow down, wait a minute!"

To Xiuyue, these words seemed to be the sounds of nature, and they immediately rescued her from the misfortune.The two wives who were holding her let go, and the big palms hanging above her head also retreated. Xiuyue was a little complacent, and looked at Su Xiyun proudly.

Su Xiyun understood the meaning of her eyes, didn't she just want to tell her that the princess's most trusted person is her, Xiuyue?But these, Su Xiyun didn't care at all.Besides, it's hard to say how things will turn out in the end. Xiuyue's excitement now shows that she is an impetuous person, which is completely different from the calm and generous person she showed at the beginning. It seems to be pretending deliberately, why would she do this?
Su Xiyun was puzzled.

But Monarch Jingyi had already spoken, but she said to Su Xiyun: "Xiyun, do you mind if I investigate this matter thoroughly?"

Su Xiyun shook her head and said: "Princess, our sisters naturally hope that you can give us justice. It is best to thoroughly investigate this matter. Whether it is black or white, right or wrong, it is beneficial to both of us to investigate clearly. You don't have to be so embarrassed when you face our sisters, we are also innocent, if the lady of Cheng'anbo's mansion is charged with harming the princess's pet in the county mansion, then we don't need to gain a foothold in the capital , let this matter spread, we will just wait to commit suicide and apologize!"

These words are quite serious.

Princess Jingyi's complexion changed, and she said sternly: "Xiyun, what are you talking about! Of course I believe you! Don't worry, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, our county palace will not Spread the word, if not, I will immediately kill all the servants in this courtyard!"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the servants in Ziwei's courtyard changed, and they all looked at Princess Jingyi with some trepidation. During this period, some people quietly stared at Sister Su Xiyun, their eyes were extremely cold.

Su Xiyun smiled wryly, did this bring hatred to her?Princess Jingyi really wants to do this, don't these people have to hate her?Besides, with so many lives, if he was about to die in Huangquan just because of a single word, would he be able to sleep peacefully in the future?

Besides, Su Xiyun is a modern person at heart, so she doesn't have the idea or habit of treating human life as trivial.No matter whether today's matter will be counted on her head or not, she will not allow these people to die because of herself.

"Princess, please stop talking like that! These people have served you for so long, and they have worked hard without credit. How can you let them die because of some trivial things?" Su Xiyun persuaded.Although what she said was extremely simple, in fact, she was already suffering extremely in her heart.

Princess Jingyi was unmoved: "How can these people compare with you, Xiyun? One thousand, ten thousand people can't compare to your status in my heart! This matter is decided in this way, don't you Persuasion! I've made up my mind." Then, she turned around and told a woman: "Go and invite the doctor from the mansion to test whether the food and water in the cage are poisonous, and then look at it. See what kind of poison is in the blood stain on the bird's beak!"

The old woman took the order and left.

Princess Jingyi turned to Su Xiyun and said, "Xiyun, don't worry, I will definitely give you justice in this matter!"

Su Xiyun nodded, and inadvertently saw that Xiuyue's face changed, biting the corner of her mouth tightly, feeling aggrieved, and looking at her master, Princess Jingyi, with some discomfort, but unfortunately, the other party didn't even look at her.

Princess Jingyi said to Su Xiyun: "Let's go in and sit, it's too shameful to stand on this porch, if you don't feel at ease, I'll ask someone to go in together with a bird cage, so that no one will do anything .”

Su Xiyun shook her head and said, "No, there are so many people guarding here, there should be nothing wrong."

Princess Jingyi smiled and said: "Let's go then, it's so deserted standing here, let's go in and have some hot tea." As he spoke, he took Su Xiyun's hand as in the past, calling Su Qianyun to go into the hall together It's gone, leaving only the maids and women all over the corridor, staring at the birdcage and Xiuyue who was still kneeling there upright.

Looking at the backs of several people leaving, Xiuyue showed a disappointed expression.

After Su Xiyun, Princess Jingyi and the others had just had a few sips of tea, the government doctor arrived.An old man with a gray beard looks very energetic.

Princess Jingyi hurriedly ordered him to examine the food in the cage and the blood stains on the beak of the dead bird.

After a while, the government doctor took a good look and reported back: "Princess, there is no problem with the food in the cage, and the water source is also no problem, only the blood stain on the bird's beak contains arsenic, which is very light, but it is enough to kill A bird died. The person who poisoned it didn't seem to have poisoned it from food, it seemed that it took a long time before feeding the bird." The doctor said in confusion.

But Princess Jingyi already got the answer, so she didn't say much at the moment, but politely asked the doctor to leave. Of course, red envelopes are indispensable.The reason is just to gag him.

When the government doctor left, Princess Jingyi immediately called Xiuyue who had been kneeling in the corridor to come in.

Su Xiyun didn't express any opinion on this. Even when the government doctor said that the bird's food and water were not poisonous, she never changed her expression, and she was always calm, as if she was just sitting here. Just a bystander.

Princess Jingyi looked at her like this, and subconsciously thought that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Xiuyue walked in on her knees. Although she knelt upright in front of Princess Jingyi as soon as she came in, she still took the time to show Su Xiyun a mocking smile, and then, before no one noticed, Quickly look away.

Su Xiyun felt a little funny, this Xiuyue seemed to have always been inexplicably hostile towards her.But they had never lived together, and Su Xiyun had never sinned against this maid from the south of the Yangtze River, so why did she have such great hostility towards her?Thinking of this, she glanced at Princess Jingyi, who was sitting upright, without a trace, and saw a heavy expression on her face.

In her memory, Su Xiyun seemed to have never seen Princess Jingyi like this.

From this point of view, Princess Jingyi seems to have undergone a lot of changes, although they are all very common things, so don't take it to heart at all, for example, the Princess suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiyun and the others For example, her face that loves to smile has become so calm now. What happened to her in the past few months?
Just when Su Xiyun was thinking, Su Qianyun who was at the side suddenly said: "Princess, the government doctor's diagnosis has come out. Please continue to investigate what is going on with this matter."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiuyue on the side suddenly raised her head and said, "You two ladies, you must have heard what the doctor said just now. The doctor said that this arsenic is not from food at all, but from food. Before coming up, someone fed poison to the bird, but before the servants brought the food, there were only you two next to the birdcage, you said, who put the poison on you?" The words were very smooth, It was as if I had rehearsed it thousands of times in my mind.He spoke without thinking.

Su Xiyun's eyes became a little darker. She slowly stood up from the chair, then walked towards Xiuyue who was kneeling there, and said with a smile, "Oh? Miss Xiuyue, how do you know it's from our sisters?" Poison? Did we come all the way here just to poison the princess’s bird? But you just said that this bird was brought back by the princess from Jiangnan this time, together with it And Miss Xiuyue, right?"

Xiuyue didn't know why Su Xiyun asked this, but she nodded anyway.

Su Xiyun smiled and said: "The last time the princess went to my mansion to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, she didn't say that she brought a thrush back from the south. I don't even know that there is such a bird in the mansion of the princess. How can it be?" Will you deliberately bring poison to harm it?"

Xiuyue's face turned pale, but she still argued, "Maybe you just inquired about it from somewhere else, I don't know."
