concubine poisonous concubine

Chapter 222

It was only half an hour after Dong He's death, the princess brought Xin Ruo to her, and asked worriedly, "Okay, why did Dong He die, did she also poison your food?"

Xin Ruo was about to shake her head, when the third wife over there said strangely.

"Why are there always dead people in Yu'er's yard? The dead are all Yu'er's personal maids, Mrs. Wang, there is not even a personal maid around Yu'er now, and you don't help find two."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xin Ruo contemptuously. Didn't that look mean that Xin Ruo was a jealous woman and couldn't tolerate the maids around Zhan Moyu?

Xin Ruo clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and handed the Zhilan Pearl to the princess, "Mother, Dong He was caught stealing the hairpin that the mother gave to Xin Ruo, so she bit her tongue and killed herself." of."

The third wife looked at the ordinary-looking hairpin, and let out a sound from her nose.

The princess has always been generous, why did she give Xin Ruo such a broken hairpin, I have never seen the princess wear it before, because such a hairpin killed a person, really...

It would be embarrassing for her to reward the servants with such a hairpin.

The princess also couldn't figure out why Dong He took Xin Ruo's hairpin. She gave the hairpin to Xin Ruo out of good intentions, but it hurt Xin Ruo.

Seeing the contempt in the eyes of the third wife, the princess couldn't help but patted Xin Ruo's hand and said, "The style of this hairpin is a bit bad. Turn around and remove the beads, so that people can melt and recast them..."

The concubine had only spoken halfway, and Mother Zhou handed the tea to the concubine.

Looking at the hairpin in Xin Ruo's hand, she said, "Young maidservant, this style is not bad. If the young mistress doesn't wear it for a long time, that villain will think carefully, thinking that he can fish in troubled waters."

Xin Ruo listened to the corners of her lips slightly curved, nodded and praised Zhou Mama, smiled and said to the princess, "This is given to me by my concubine, and I like the style. I should wear it for a long time so as not to be in vain for my concubine." kindness."

As he spoke, he put the hairpin on his head, and Mother Zhou over there brought a cup of tea with a smile on her face.

Xin Ruo continued with a smile, but suddenly her hands trembled, and the hot tea splashed on the back of Zhou's mother's hands, and then there were two slaps, and the lids of the teacups and teacups were all smashed to the ground.

Xin Ruo looked at the back of Zhou's mother's hand that was rapidly turning red in horror, her eye circles were red, and she apologized again and again, "I'm sorry for Zhou's mother, my hand suddenly cramped, and the teacup was not connected firmly, it must have burned you, I'm sorry."

As she spoke, Xin Ruo took Mama Zhou's wrinkled arm and touched her burnt area with her hand, which made Mama Zhou grit her teeth and shook her head repeatedly, "It's okay, I'll be fine if I soak it in salt water."

Xin Ruo, however, was full of apology, with tears in her eyes, looking at Mother Zhou's hands as if she was looking at a baby.

"It hurts so much to soak in salt water, Zilan, didn't Banyuefang sent some scald medicine last time, go and get it, and the bottle of soothing ointment that Princess Yanrong gave me when I entered the palace last time Bring it too."

Zilan nodded, and Fushen quickly left Wangfei's room.

The concubine looked at Zhou's mother's red hands, and knew that she was in pain, but Xin Ruo didn't mean it, so she said, "Be patient, the medicine from Banyuefang is not bad."

The third wife over there didn't know what to say, but she just burned a servant girl. As for apologizing and making amends, Xin Ruo was too timid to bring even the ointment from Banyuefang.

Zi Lan quickly took the medicine, and Xin Ruo hurriedly helped Zhou's mother to apply it. Zhou's mother waved her hands again and again, "Young maidservant can do it herself, don't bother young mistress."

Zilan hurriedly held Zhou's mother down, "Don't refuse Zhou's mother, the minor injuries of slaves and servants on weekdays are the medicines given by the young lady.

Your hand was scalded by our young mistress again. If you don't let young mistress give you medicine today, she won't be able to sleep at night later. "

After Zilan said so, Mother Zhou dared not move, she had to ask Xin Ruo to help with the medicine.

I have to say that the medicine from Banyuefang is really effective, and the hot feeling on my hands has disappeared a lot.

After Xin Ruo took some medicine, she picked up the soothing ointment given by Princess Yanrong.

Zhou's mother looked at the box of Shuhen ointment, her eyes flickered, she saw that Xin Ruo was so good at digging up half of it that she didn't want money, and was about to rub it on her hands, so frightened, Zhou's mother withdrew her hand regardless.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My servant thanked Young Mistress for applying medicine to this servant, but this ointment was given to you by the princess, and this servant dare not use it."

Seeing her reacting so violently, Xin Ruo knew that there was poison in the soothing ointment.

Sure enough, it has something to do with her. The patterns and patterns of the two boxes of Shuhen Ointment are different, so she can recognize it at a glance.

Xin Ruo held up the sooth cream in her hand and persuaded, "Mother Zhou, don't worry, since this sooth cream was given to me by the princess, I have the right to dispose of it.

Last time I burned my hand in the palace, just wipe it off a little bit, otherwise I will get scars later, I can't bear it. "

As he said, holding the ointment in his hand, he was about to apply the ointment on Zhou's mother's hands, but Zhou's mother refused to die.

The concubine also frowned, what happened to Zhou's mother today, she was talking to Xin Ruo just now, she suddenly brought tea and answered the conversation.

Now that Xin Ruo had scalded her, she also apologized, and even gave her the ointment that Princess Yanrong gave her, but she refused, which was too disrespectful to Xin Ruo.

Just as she was about to reprimand her, Xin Ruo said with a serious face, "Mother Zhou won't forgive me?"

Zhou's mother looked at Xin Ruo in horror and shook her head again and again, but she just didn't know what to say.

I said what I wanted to say earlier, and Xin Ruo didn't bother to play with her anymore, so she closed the Shuhen ointment box and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

Looking at the corner of Zhou's mother's mouth, there was a trace of coldness, "Zhou's mother refused to use it because she knew that the Shuhen ointment is poisonous. Not only will it not remove the scar, but it will make the skin fester, right?"

After Xin Ruo finished speaking, Zhou's mother opened her eyes wide in astonishment, and panic flashed in her eyes.

Xin Ruo turned her head and said to the concubine, "Mother, when Xin Ruo went to the palace that day, Princess Yan Rong taught Xin Ruo the box of Shuhen ointment, saying that someone had poisoned it.

Ask Xin Ruo to find out who is trying to harm her. Fortunately, Princess Yanrong had an examination by the imperial physician before using it, otherwise Princess Yanrong's face may be in danger, and the mother concubine and Xin Ruo can't get rid of it. "

The concubine's eyes became sharp when she heard this, and seeing Zhou's mother's trembling legs, she said that she didn't know that there was a problem with Shuhen ointment, but she didn't believe it.

Because Princess Yanrong repeatedly urged the cream, it was already late when Xin Ruo sent someone to deliver the cream, so she asked her to take it away and put it away.

It was delivered a day later, and now the Zishuhen ointment was poisoned, who else could it be if it wasn't her!
Fortunately, Princess Yanrong asked someone to check it, otherwise she and Xin Ruo would have a few heads and not enough to pay.

Princess Yanrong has no grievances with her, so why did she want to harm her? It doesn't count if she harmed Princess Yanrong, but she and Xin Ruo were dragged into the water together, the princess slapped the table angrily.

Zhou's mother quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I don't know that the plaster is poisonous, and my servant's status is low, how dare I use the things that the princess gave to the young mistress, the princess, the servant is loyal and has no grievances against the princess, how can I harm her? "

Zhan Moyu pushed the wheelchair into the house outside, Xin Ruo hurriedly stepped forward to help him push it, and then listened to Zhan Moyu's words.

"Mother Concubine, she poisoned Princess Yanrong's ointment, which almost harmed my wife and you, and also damaged the reputation of Banyuefang. Yu'er wants to hand her over to the boss of Banyuefang."

The princess frowned. After all, Zhou's mother has been her mother for decades. Will she survive in Banyuefang?

But since she dared to put poison in Princess Yanrong's ointment, the princess nodded and agreed after thinking about it.

Xin Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her, she was afraid that the concubine's heart would soften, otherwise she wouldn't have to perform such a play to expose her, the news of Zhou's mother being arrested should spread throughout the palace, I don't know how long it will take Who will come to watch the show.

Xin Ruo thought of a problem, and worriedly said to the concubine, "Concubine Mother, since Mother Zhou dared to poison Princess Yanrong's Henzhi Ointment, there is no guarantee that there is no poison hidden around her, should I send someone to collect it?"

The concubine nodded, and Xin Ruo signaled Molan and Zilan to go and watch together, and she wanted to take Zhou's mother thoroughly today.

Afraid that Zhou's mother would be killed or committed suicide like Qiuyue and Donghe, as soon as the princess agreed to take Zhou's mother away, Zhan Moyu asked Lan Bing to take her away.

When the second wife and the others came, they hadn't seen Zhou's mother, and the room was unusually peaceful.

Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Xin Ruo smiled and said, "Xin Ruo greets Second Aunt, what will Second Aunt look at?"

The second wife smiled, her eyes flickering slightly, "I didn't look at anything, didn't I hear that someone poisoned Princess Yanrong's ointment, so I came here to take a look, where is Mother Zhou?"

Xin Ruo shrugged, "Mr. Xiang sent her to Banyuefang. Go back and find out who is behind the scenes. Give Princess Yanrong an explanation, and then return Mother Zhou. She belongs to the mother concubine, and she has to return to her mother." The imperial concubine handles it herself."

The second wife didn't say anything after hearing this, and sat down somewhere.

Over there, Mo Lan and Zi Lan searched out a huge package, but didn't hand it over to Xin Ruo, and handed it directly to the princess, opened it, and there were a lot of good things in it.

Xin Ruo picked up a bracelet casually, looked at it in surprise, and frowned, "Isn't this belonging to my fourth aunt? Why is it in Mother Zhou's house, and this one belongs to my sixth aunt.

I seem to have seen this hairpin on Second Aunt's head, Second Aunt, is this yours? "

Xin Ruo looked back at the second wife with the jasper hairpin, and the second wife's hand holding the tea shook for a moment.

Shaking his head and laughing, "I'm afraid I misread it. How could it be mine? My hairpin is in the dressing box."

Xin Ruo just smiled and said nothing, and turned the word "two" on the jade hairpin, facing the princess.

The princess saw a big burden of jewelry, none of which were rewarded by her.

The more the princess looked at her, the colder her heart became. Zhou's mother was her close mother, and it was understandable for the second wife and the others to reward her.

But it is unusual to receive such an expensive jewelry reward, and this jewelry is clearly the Second Wife's, what is she denying?
