Concubine in power, prince, please respect yourself

Chapter 33 Investigating the real murderer
Because of the sudden movements of the servant girls, Qin Zishuang, who was already extremely guilty, became even more flustered, and couldn't help trembling when she spoke.

As soon as Qin Zishuang finished speaking, the three servant girls immediately slumped on the ground. Unexpectedly, in the end, Qin Zishuang not only failed to save them, but even threatened them with their family members.

"Quickly tell the truth, my poor daughter, if you have a spirit in heaven, point out who hurt you, and don't let the resentful soul stay in the world."

Mrs. Yuan burst into tears towards the sky, and after she finished shouting, she buried her head in Yuan Baijiang's arms, sobbing all the time.

"If you don't tell the truth, I will immediately send people to press your family members up and kill them."

Most likely, the queen became anxious because of Mrs. Yuan's current appearance, and she also spoke harsh words.

"Queen, lord, the servants can only say that they were instigated by others. If there are too many, the servants dare not say so. I also hope that the queen will show mercy and spare the families of the servants. They are all innocent. If the servants say yes If someone instigates it, the family members of the servants will not be able to survive, the empress is merciful, let the families of the servants go."

The maid kneeling in the middle looked up at the queen and said, she is no longer afraid of the dying person, she is only worried about her family.

Hearing this, the other two servant girls gradually calmed down.

"It's the servants' fault to wrong the third lady, but the servants are of low status, so they can only listen to the high-ranking ones. Third lady, the servants are sorry for you, and I hope that the third lady will have a large number of servants to spare the families of the servants."

The servant girl who had fainted and woke up from the cold just now also calmed down, watched Qin Ziling talking, and finally kowtowed to Qin Ziling.

As soon as the maid finished speaking, when everyone was unprepared, the three maids unexpectedly grabbed the leftover food on the ground last night and started gobbling it up.

By the time the guards next to them reacted and wanted to catch them, it was already too late, and they ate all the food on the plate.

After a while, the three of them became poisoned one after another, vomited black blood, convulsed their bodies, and passed away after a while.

"Come here, take them all down."

Stretching out his hand to stroke his forehead, Qin Ziling felt extremely tired. The hangover, lack of sleep, and the damn legs were slowly draining Qin Ziling's strength and patience.

"Prince Rui, even though the witnesses are all dead now, you can't let Xianxian go away in such an unexplained way, and I ask Prince Rui to catch the murderer."

Wiping away her tears, Mrs. Yuan sought justice for her daughter.

"I also ask the prince to give me three days. In three days, I will definitely find the murderer."

Not wanting to embarrass Xuanyuan Yi, Qin Ziling looked at Xuanyuan Yi and said seriously.

"Three days, are you sure you can find the murderer?"

Even the last witness was dead, but Qin Ziling suggested that the murderer could be found within three days. Xuanyuan Yi looked at Qin Ziling in surprise, but from Qin Ziling's face, Xuanyuan Yi didn't see any fear at all, as if he could really Find out what the murderer did.

"Okay, I will give you three days. If you can't find the murderer after three days, you can accept the queen's punishment."

Xuanyuan Yi said such harsh words, not to threaten Qin Ziling, but to stabilize the Yuan family's emotions.He believed in Qin Ziling, she had always been someone who made him look at her differently.

"Since it has been confirmed today that the murderer is not the third lady, and the third lady has also promised to find the murderer within three days or so, please rest assured, Lord Hou, and the queen. Also, for the funeral of the second lady, the king will follow the normal schedule. The etiquette of the room will be held."

Originally the second wife was the one who made a mistake and was grounded, and the second wife was just a concubine, but in order to comfort the original family, Xuanyuan Yi could only take a step back.

"Okay, then please, Third Madam, quickly find the murderer, so that Xianxian's soul can be comforted."

Now that Xuanyuan Yi's words were all for this purpose, even though the three days was too long, the queen didn't dare to ask for more.Today, she also saw how much Xuanyuan Yi defended Qin Ziling, jumping over the wall when he was in a hurry, not to mention the powerful Prince Rui.

"The concubine will find the murderer, and send it to the empress."

After sending the queen away, the bustle was gone, and the eldest lady found an excuse of feeling unwell and went back to her yard.

Xuanyuan Yi was also called away by the housekeeper to deal with the second wife's funeral.

Only Qin Ziling and Qin Zishuang were left in the main hall.

Limping in front of Qin Zishuang, Qin Ziling leaned over and said to Qin Zishuang, who was already extremely flustered, "Some people's schemes didn't succeed, and my wife is still alive and well, but the person who harmed me is the last Hurry up and hide her murderous knife, don't let Mrs. Ben find out easily, Wangfei, right?"

The tone was full of ridicule.

"Snapped."

Hearing Qin Ziling's provocative tone, Qin Zishuang could no longer maintain that mistress look, and brushed the teacup in her hand to the ground.

"Of course, some people must die."

After gritting her teeth, Qin Zishuang waved her long sleeves and left the main hall.

Seeing Qin Zishuang's panic-stricken look, Qin Ziling actually chuckled.

Letting Luhe support her, Qin Ziling limped and returned to Lingxiangju with exhaustion all over her body.

As soon as she arrived at Lingxiangju, Qin Ziling ate immediately. She was almost starving to death. She only drank last night, so she didn't eat much at all. In addition, she didn't have time to eat this morning. She was almost starving to death now.

Once he was full, Qin Ziling lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

She is full now, but sleep-deprived.

Although she trusts his wife, but there are only three days, Lu He can't help but sweat for Qin Ziling.What's more, the madam is still asleep like this, and the time that is already very little is getting even less.

Xuanyuan Yi came once on the way and saw Qin Ziling still sound asleep, so he didn't wake her up, but told Lu He that Qin Ziling would come to him if he needed it, and he could help her.

After explaining, Xuanyuan Yi didn't stay any longer, and left Lingxiangju.

When Qin Ziling woke up, it was almost three o'clock in modern time. After stretching, she finally woke up, feeling refreshed.

"Lu He, change the clothes for Mrs. Ben and choose that dark green robe."

Pointing to a dark green men's suit, Qin Ziling ordered.

After getting dressed, Qin Ziling left the palace alone again, strolling on the street, Qin Ziling carefully watched the situation on both sides of the street.

Standing in front of a pharmacy, Qin Ziling rested his chin and thought.After a while, he raised his foot and walked in front of a vendor.

This merchant has been staring at Qin Ziling since just now, because Qin Ziling's clothes can be seen as the son of a wealthy family.

"Young master, here are some..."

Before the merchant could finish his sentence, he saw a coin thrown in the air, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Boss, a few days ago, did you see anyone in the palace entering this pharmacy?"

Going straight to the point, Qin Ziling was too lazy to ramble. Just now she saw the merchant staring at her. In this case, there are only two possibilities. One is for sex, and the other is for money. Obviously, she is wearing men's clothes now, and she is not very sexy. It is possible, then only money.

She remembered a sentence she heard from others in modern times: As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

Now that I think about it, it really fits.

"A few days ago? Let me think about it."

The vendor scratched his head, recalling carefully.

"Oh! By the way, I remembered!"

He slapped the table excitedly, and the vendor roared happily.

"A few days ago, a maid did come to the pharmacy."

Because he finally remembered, the man laughed out loud.

"I still remember that it was a little girl next to the concubine of Prince Rui's mansion, she seemed to be called Chun Yu, because that girl was in a hurry, and when she passed by my shop, she lost the silver on her body, I wanted to pick it up for her , I didn’t expect that I hadn’t met Yinzi yet, but instead I gave me a look, I thought in my heart that I really don’t know good people... Hey, son, I haven’t finished yet!”

Grasping the point, Qin Ziling didn't want to listen to the man's nonsense, so he stepped into the pharmacy.

On the other side, Qin Zishuang has been fidgeting ever since she returned to the yard. She always felt that she couldn't escape this matter, so she beckoned Chun Yu over.

"Chunyu, my concubine treats you well. You have seen it today. Qin Ziling will definitely not let it go. As long as she finds the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, we all have to die with that woman Yuan Xianxian. So Chunyu, this is 500 taels of silver." , take it, go as far away as possible, if they can't find it, there will be no evidence, and we will all survive!"

Taking out a stack of bank notes from the drawer, Qin Zishuang stuffed them into Chun Yu's hands in a panic.

Holding the money, Chun Yu's hand kept trembling. After hearing Qin Zishuang's words, she immediately stuffed the bank note into her bosom, and hurried out of the palace.

When Qin Ziling returned to the palace, it was already night, and after changing into a set of women's clothes, Qin Ziling took Lu He and walked towards Qin Zishuang's courtyard.

"Princess, the third lady is asking to see you outside the door."

After sending Chun Yu away, Qin Zishuang felt a lot more relieved, at least, there was no evidence that she was behind it.

Raising her hands to straighten her somewhat messy hair, Qin Zishuang ordered in a good mood, "Let her in."

"The concubine kowtowed to the princess."

Qin Ziling put on a well-behaved appearance, completely unable to see the sarcasm in the hall in the morning.

"Sister, you don't need to be too polite, sit down quickly, my princess is preparing to have dinner, do you want my sister to come together?"

Pointing to the dinner on the table next to him, Qin Zishuang invited him.

Glancing at the dinner on the table, it was really too luxurious, even more luxurious than Xuanyuan Yi's.

"No need, because of the Second Madam's matter, I don't dare to eat now, I'm afraid what will happen if someone comes and goes to poison my food like this one day."

Pretending to be wronged, yes, she just wanted to disgust Qin Zishuang, who made her so vicious, let others die for her, and she still lived such a good life.
