Concubine in power, prince, please respect yourself

Chapter 32 Clearing the Suspicion
Qin Ziling got up and walked to the second lady, gently lifted the white cloth.

When the white cloth was lifted, the people who stretched their heads to look at the corpse gasped.

The whole face was covered with a kind of purplish red, and there was blood that had not been rubbed and coagulated at the corner of her mouth. Even her eyes were not closed, and her eyes were full of fear. Maybe she didn't even know that she was going to die like this.

Covered with a white cloth, Qin Ziling could tell at a glance that the death was caused by poisoning, but she didn't study medicine, so she didn't know the details.

"My daughter! Why did you die so miserably, master, we must find out who harmed our child so much, and we can't let her go away without knowing why!"

Mrs. Yuan flung herself on the corpse, crying bitterly. Also, which mother would not be sad to see her child die so badly.

"My lord, can the doctor come and see what kind of poison caused this?"

Even after seeing such a terrifying corpse, Qin Ziling still maintained his usual calmness.She will not allow herself to be wronged, nor will she let the murderer get away with it.

"Come on, find the clerk of the yamen."

Hearing Xuanyuan Yi's order, Qin Ziling realized that he had just said wrongly. For things like autopsy, he should go to a forensic doctor, not a doctor, just like a modern autopsy is to a forensic doctor.

After a while, a thin man walked in carrying a small wooden box.

Yuan Baijiang pulled Mrs. Yuan who was lying on Yuan Xianxian's corpse.

"Humble duty to greet the queen, prince, and lord."

"Excuse me, you can find out why this corpse died, and there is still about time."

Xuanyuan Yi ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes."

After answering, Wu Zuo walked to the corpse with the small wooden box.Mrs. Yuan at the side saw the corpse again, and couldn't help crying again.

Qin Ziling's eyes stared at Wu Zuo's hand without blinking. She couldn't be blamed for being too suspicious. After all, this was ancient times, and she was a person with no power or influence. Maybe others would be instructed by others.

Besides Qin Ziling, the Queen and Xuanyuan Yi were also staring at Wu Zuo's hand.

I saw that Wu Zuo took out a row of silver needles from the small wooden box, took out one, and stuck it on the corpse. When the silver needles were taken out, the silver needles turned black.

It seems that she guessed right, Yuan Xianxian was indeed poisoned to death.

Although she saw Wu Zuo coming, Qin Zishuang still didn't have any fear, even if it could be found out that she died of poisoning, so what if she found out the time of death, she specially chose to poison Qin Ziling when she was not around.

Wu Zuo carefully checked, not letting go of any details.

"Reporting to the queen, the prince, the marquis, it was found out that he died of poisoning. The time of death was about [-]:[-] last night. The specific poison can only be determined by looking at the food last night."

Unitary time?That was when she had the craziest time at Zhuangzi last night, how could she have evidence of her alibi, and she dared not tell about Zhuangzi.

"Queen Qi, Wang Ye, Hou Ye, this poison is arsenic."

After checking the rest of the food, Wu Zuo really looked like a dead body, his face was expressionless the whole time.

"Arsenic!"

Upon hearing the word arsenic, Mrs. Yuan screamed and almost fainted on the spot.Yuan Baijiang quickly reached out to support the fainted wife.

"My child! How can you be so miserable and be put to death like this!"

Laying on the corpse, Mrs. Yuan cried so hard that she almost died.

"My lord, this Marquis must come to seek justice, Third Madam, the test results have come out, what else do you have to say?"

Already on the verge of fury, because he was still in Prince Rui's residence, Yuan Baijiang tried his best to suppress his anger and spoke in a calm voice.

"Master Hou, although I have no evidence to say that I did not do it, but I definitely did not do it. If Lord Hou can believe me once..."

"This king will give you a chance to defend yourself. If you can prove that you did not do it, this king will believe it."

Just when Qin Ziling was at a loss for words, he heard Xuanyuan Yi's domineering voice.He was trying to resist everyone and defend her, or he believed in her.

Turning her head to take a look, she happened to meet Xuanyuan Yi who had turned her head. From Xuanyuan Yi's eyes, Qin Ziling saw absolute trust and protection, and immediately felt warm in her heart.

In this ancient times, I actually got such absolute trust from him.Pull up your spirits and sweep away the pressure from the Yuan family. Qin Ziling stood up and said to the three servant girls.

"The three of you turn your backs on each other and each take ten steps forward!"

Hearing this, everyone was surprised, what is Qin Ziling doing.Although the three servant girls were also puzzled, they still followed Qin Ziling's instructions.

Turning their backs to each other and walking ten steps forward, they heard Qin Ziling speak again.

"Lu He, come here."

After calling Lu He, Qin Ziling whispered something in her ear, and asked a maid beside the queen to go out with Lu He.

The queen was also full of doubts, but when Qin Ziling wanted someone, she still obeyed.

After a while, I saw two servant girls each holding three sets of clothes, and a servant girl followed behind, also holding clothes.

Then the three of them hugged their clothes and stood in front of the three maids.

"The three of you didn't meet Mrs. Ben that day, that's fine. You three pointed out what clothes I was wearing that day and which maid I was bringing with me."

Standing is the time for you to show your feet. If you dare to fight her, live for thousands of years.

Hearing this, Qin Zishuang and the three maids panicked instantly.The rest of the people felt admiration for Qin Ziling instantly, which is really a good way.

If those three were lying, then they probably couldn't choose the same clothes without negotiating.

Glancing at Qin Ziling fiercely, Qin Zishuang squeezed her hands vigorously, not even noticing that her nails had sunk into her flesh.

If it is confirmed that Qin Ziling is not the murderer, not only will Qin Ziling be spared, but according to the original family's attitude just now, the murderer must be found out.

Apart from Qin Zishuang's fear, the three servant girls were also terrified. Apart from the prince, there was also the empress. If they were found to be deceiving, they would definitely die a terrible death, and they might even be raided.

Thinking of this, the bodies of the three servant girls couldn't help shaking.There is no tendency to stretch out the hand.

"It's just for you to choose a dress, don't you remember it? Since I saw it that day, even if one person can't remember it, the other two should be able to remember it. I don't have time to spend time with you guys. Hurry up!"

Looking at the three people who did not move for a long time, the queen probably guessed it. It seems that Qin Ziling was probably wronged.

Because of the Queen's fury, the bodies of the three servant girls suddenly seemed to be shaking like a sieve, afraid that they would not be able to speak.

After grinding for a long time, the three finally chose the clothes, and the three who were holding the clothes retreated to the side after the three maids chose the clothes.

"Okay, now that the clothes are selected, tell me, who is the maid who went out with Madam Wuben that day, come on, tell me first."

With a blank face, Qin Ziling stood in front of one of the maids and said.

"Yes...it's Sister Luhe."

The little maid thought for a while, and answered with a trembling voice. She thought that on weekdays, the closest relative to the third wife was Lu He, so she should have brought Lu He out.

"Lu He, right? Okay, tell me again, who did this lady take out of the house that day."

Didn't say right or wrong, Qin Ziling stood in front of another maid and said.

When the three of them asked, the answer was all Luhe.

When they saw the clothes chosen by the three, everyone knew the answer in their hearts. The three maids must have lied.

"The three of you return to your original positions."

The leg that was already hurting was now standing and kneeling, Qin Ziling was in excruciating pain, leaning against Lu He standing beside her, Qin Ziling gave orders.

"This is the clothes each of the three of you chose. First of all, you have a tacit understanding, and two of you chose the same one."

Qin Ziling spoke halfway to the servant girl who was in the same place, then turned her head to Qin Zishuang whose face was completely out of control, and continued.

"But! Madam Ben ordered them to go out and buy these three clothes just now! The little girl next to the queen can testify that she and Lu He went out together."

Taking the clothes from Lu He, Qin Ziling ruthlessly threw them on the three kneeling maids.

"Also, let me tell you that Madam Ben always wears men's clothing when she goes out. Moreover, Madam Ben never takes her maids out. The gatekeepers can testify that Madam Ben always goes out alone! Can you speak from your own hearts! The second lady is still in front of you, her bones are still not cold, maybe her soul is still here looking at you, aren't you afraid of retribution!"

Hearing that the servant girl wronged people so much, Xuanyuan Yi was so angry that he threw the teacup off the table in front of everyone, and the best tea leaves were scattered all over the floor.

"This king kept you in the palace just to frame others like this! If you don't tell the truth, this king will make you unable to live!"

The three maids were frightened by Qin Ziling's words that the soul of the second lady was already terrified, and Xuanyuan Yi's fury made them even more frightened. One of the maids fainted from fright, and the other two kept begging for mercy. with.

"Come here, take a basin of water and wake up this king."

After confirming that the murderer was not Qin Ziling, Xuanyuan Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, but he would definitely not let the person who harmed her go.

The guard didn't even bother to fetch water, so he went outside to fill a basin of snow, and dumped it all on the servant girl.

Shocked by the cold, the servant girl woke up instantly and sat on the ground with a pale face, apparently quite frightened.

"I'm giving you a chance. If you tell me why you framed the third lady like this, I'll give you a good time."

When the three servant girls heard that they were still doomed, their eyes suddenly turned to Qin Zishuang, their eyes were full of begging.

"You...you see what this princess is doing. Although I am the princess of the palace, I will not condone you. If you... If you tell the truth, this princess will consider assigning your family to other places that are better On Zhuangzi."
