Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 9 Complete Subversion
Chu Lie choked and didn't speak, Madam Ye took the opportunity to say: "What Ying'er said is, master, why don't we search the backyard, the one who found the thenardite is the person who poisoned, so we can return Ying'er's innocence!"

"Then search the entire backyard, including Madam's Osmanthus Garden!" Chu Ruoying said in a deep voice.Chu Lie took a deep look at her and nodded in response.

An hour later, the guard who searched came back with a pack of medicinal powder in his hand. The doctor stepped forward to take it, and after careful observation, he said: "General, this is Glauber's salt!"

"Where did you find it?" Chu Lie asked in a deep voice.

"In Madam's yard!" The guard seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then spoke slowly under Chu Lie's majestic gaze.

"What! How is that possible! Could it be that you were bribed to frame me on purpose!" Madam Ye's face changed upon hearing this, and she pointed at the guard sharply.

"No subordinates, please tell the general!" When the guard heard this, a look of humiliation flashed across his resolute face, and he said seriously to Chu Lie.

Chu Lie glanced at the guards kneeling on the ground, then looked at Madam Ye, "This is my personal guard, how could he be bribed by others!"

"What the master said is true." Madam Ye's complexion froze, she immediately admitted her mistake, "But I will never harm my child as a concubine!"

"Then why is there Glauber's salt in Madam's courtyard?" Chu Lie asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know who I am, someone must be harming me!" Mrs. Ye immediately defended.

Chu Lie couldn't help frowning, seeing Madam Ye's face changed slightly, and looked down at Chu Ruoying, who still knelt there calmly, with her back straight.

"Ying'er get up first." Chu Lie looked at her stubborn figure and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Xia immediately stepped forward to help Chu Ruoying, and Chu Ruoying stood up, and asked, "Father, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Chu Lie's face was slightly stiff, and he was very annoyed at Chu Ruoying's lack of face, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you go to the ancestral hall?"

Chu Ruoying lowered her head, bit her lips, and said softly, "Ying'er can't speak."

Li Xia at the side turned anxious, let go of Chu Ruoying's hand, knelt down straight, and said, "Don't tell the lady, but the servant."

"Lixia!" Chu Ruoying said angrily.

Chu Lie glanced at Chu Ruoying, and said in a deep voice, "Just say it!"

"Miss, you are kind and don't want to talk too much, but the servants can't stand it anymore." Li Xia said in a deep voice, "The reason why the eldest lady went to the ancestral hall was because the lady asked the eldest lady to go when she went to Sheng Junior Court in the afternoon, and the eldest lady did it." After ordering pastries, I want to ask the eldest lady to visit the second lady."

"Li Xia, stop talking." Chu Ruoying sighed slightly, and said, "Father knows now, and Ying'er went to the ancestral hall for this."

Madam Ye's complexion suddenly sank, but she said with a sneer, "Yinger is right, I asked Yinger to go."

"Why did you let Ying'er go to the ancestral hall?" Chu Lie looked at her deeply, remembering what the guards said just now, and the Glauber's salt found in her courtyard, his complexion gradually became difficult, and he asked in a deep voice.

Madam Ye's face turned pale, she quickly thought about the countermeasures, and said, "Xin'er is the only child of my concubine, who was raised by a thousand pets and loved by others, and entered the ancestral hall. It's getting hot, I'm just worried about my child, and I can't go because of my status, so I'm going to ask Yinger." As she spoke, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, Madam Ye turned her face away, picked up the handkerchief Wipe it gently.

Mrs. Ye really has been married to Chu Lie for more than ten years. Just a few words made Chu Lie's face ease a lot. Looking at Mrs. Ye, there is still doubt in her eyes, but she is also a little more guilty. After all, after so many years , Chu Lie has no children under his knees, and he loves Chu Xiner very much. This time, it was a last resort. Chu Lie glanced at Chu Ruoying, who was at the side, and said in a low voice, "Then why didn't you say it at the beginning?"

Madam Ye squinted at Chu Ruoying, put down the handkerchief in her hand, and said softly: "I believe in Yinger, I think Yinger would not do these things, and I am afraid that I will bring trouble to her, but later it is because of the evidence. Pointing to Yinger, that's it."

Mrs. Ye's intermittent words made Chu Lie look at Chu Ruoying again. The situation was so complicated just now, but his daughter was calm and unhurried.
"What does Ying'er think is going on?" Chu Lie looked at Chu Ruoying firmly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Father has his own judgment on what is going on, and Ying'er dare not speak out." Chu Ruoying said respectfully with her head lowered.

"But." Before Chu Lie could speak, Chu Ruoying said once again, "Madam asked me to go to the ancestral hall, and the pastry was sent by Madam in the afternoon. There was no poison in it, but the poison was poured into the tea, my sister. What kind of tea do you like, only those close to you know, the guards have been transferred away from the mountain again, and there is no Glauber's salt in the Shengchu Courtyard, it is getting late, can Yinger go back now?" Chu Ruoying's faint voice sounded , Everyone's eyes changed, and a coldness flashed in Madam Ye's eyes.

Speaking of this, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was Mrs. Ye who played the family card to send the eldest lady to the ancestral hall, and the wife has raised the second lady for many years, so she naturally knows what kind of tea the second lady likes, and the poison of people close to her is obviously done by the lady. Yes, the second lady who was poisoned was poisoned, and she framed it on the eldest lady. What a vicious heart. The eldest lady was unwilling to tell his wife before. She was really kind. Looking at Chu Ruoying, there was also a little more sympathy in her eyes.

Although it was late at night, there were quite a few girls and servants in the courtyard. Hearing the commotion around him, Chu Lie's expression darkened. Looking at Chu Ruoying, he said after a while, "Ying'er, go back."

After Chu Ruoying left, Chu Lie took a deep breath, looked around at the surrounding maidservants with a sullen face, and said sharply: "That's the end of this matter, no one is allowed to mention it in the future!"

The surrounding maids and servants all knelt down in fright, said yes repeatedly, and then retreated lightly.

"Fortunately, miss is smart, and let the servants search the room carefully, otherwise, she might have wronged miss in this matter!" Li Xia said angrily, supporting Chu Ruoying.

"It's always right to keep an eye on everything." Chu Ruoying smiled lightly and said softly.Ever since Mrs. Ye came here with cakes, she felt that something was wrong. After leaving the yard at night, she asked Gu Yu to pay attention to the movement in the yard. Sure enough, she saw a dark figure sneaking in. Li Xia was careful, and found it soon after returning. That bag of Glauber's salt is used to treat the person's body in the same way.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Chu Lie ruthlessly threw the pastry at Madam Ye's feet, and the pastry with Glauber's salt fell at Madam Ye's feet. Madam Ye was startled and said, "Master, I really don't know, I was only worried about Xin'er, so I asked Yinger to take a look, tiger poison doesn't eat children, how could I harm my own children!"

Hearing this, Chu Lie bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said, "It's really not you?"

Seeing that Chu Lie's expression softened, Madam Ye immediately said, "I don't have a concubine, there must be villains who want to drive a wedge between me and Ying'er."

"Not the best." Chu Lie snorted coldly, as if he didn't fully believe it, he turned and left the yard.

"Ma'am, Miss is awake." Seeing that Chu Lie had left, Nanny Li came out and said.

Madam Ye hurriedly stood up, walked into the room, looked at Chu Xiner's pale face, and couldn't help but said distressedly: "Xiner, you have suffered."

"Mother, it's Chu Ruoying who wants to kill me!" Chu Xiner grabbed her hand and said hastily.

"Mother knows, don't worry, mother will never let her go!" Mrs. Ye's eyes flickered when she heard this, she patted her hand and said.
