Concubine in power, prince, please respect yourself

Chapter 34

Sure enough, Qin Zishuang was really disgusted, and when she glanced at the food on the table, she lost her appetite in an instant.

Sitting at the table, Qin Zishuang poured a cup of tea and took a sip.

"The princess will not force my sister in that book, please sit down, sister."

Pointing to the stool, Qin Zishuang signaled.

"Hey, sister, why does it feel like there is one less person here?"

Looking around, Qin Ziling asked casually.

"Well, haha, my sister's eyes are really good. There is a little girl who misses her family, so my princess asked her to go back and see her family. After all, it is still in the midst of the Spring Festival."

Qin Zishuang was not only not angry, but also replied happily with a smile.

She lowered her head and took a sip of her tea, Qin Zishuang's eyes were full of complacency, Chun Yu had already left, and now there was no proof, what Qin Ziling could do to me.

"Oh, my sister is really considerate of servants, so I won't stay any longer, sister, please take care of yourself and eat more, haha!"

Standing up, Qin Ziling spoke respectfully at first, and finally laughed abruptly, making Qin Zishuang's goosebumps immediately arise from laughing.

After leaving Qin Zishuang's yard, Qin Ziling was standing by a flower bed.

Now that it has been determined that Qin Zishuang instructed someone to administer the poison, then, who administered the medicine?

"Lu He, help Mrs. Ben to the big kitchen."

Walking to the big kitchen, at this point in time, work has basically been slowly finished.

Seeing Qin Ziling limping around the kitchen, although they were eager to clean up and finish work, they didn't dare to rush.After all, they knew how Xuanyuan Yi treated Qin Ziling recently.

"Which of you is in charge of the second lady's diet?"

Facing a row of people standing beside him, Qin Ziling asked casually.

"It's the second wife's food that the servant is in charge of."

One of them, a woman in her forties, wiped her hands on her apron and replied.

"Then the others should go out first, Madam Ben has something to ask you."

After dismissing the others, Qin Ziling found a comfortable stool.

"On the day the second lady passed away, did you cook the meals for the second lady?"

Qin Ziling had been wandering around the kitchen just now, just wanting to see if there was anyone from the princess in the big kitchen. Fortunately, Qin Zishuang was not very smart and had not placed anyone in the big kitchen, so she dared to ask directly now.

In fact, Qin Ziling was wrong. It wasn't that Qin Zishuang didn't put people in the big kitchen, but that the people in the big kitchen were all chosen by Xuanyuan Yi by the housekeeper, and Qin Zishuang had no way to put them in.

"Yes, the second lady's meals were cooked by the servants yesterday, but the servants did not poison them, so I ask the third lady to learn from you!"

When she heard that Qin Ziling had found this place, the cook was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground.

"My lady didn't say anything. Why are you so flustered? Think about it. Something different happened yesterday."

He didn't let the cook get up either, Qin Ziling asked with a sense of oppression.

Qin Ziling asked this question because the poisonous dish that was inspected today was a relatively luxurious dish, and the second lady's personal maids had already been wiped out one by one by herself, and no one would help her. Order these.Therefore, there must be other reasons why the second wife was able to eat such a good meal during the confinement period.

"Yesterday, it was the first day of the new year, and the slaves were busy cooking in the kitchen. One thing that is a bit confusing is that last night, the slaves prepared the dishes and sent them to the second lady. When they just came back, they saw the princess A servant girl beside her said that the princess said that today is the first day of the new year, and she said it was for the fun, so she asked the servant girl to cook some dishes for the second lady. When we passed by, the servant girl said that she was here to see her off, and that the concubine asked her to drop by to see how the second lady was doing."

The cook knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, slowly recalling.

"What is that dish? And do you remember who that maid is?"

If there is a Buddha jumping over the wall, everything will make sense.

"There are steamed shrimp dumplings and Buddha jumping over the wall, because the second wife likes to eat these two dishes the most, so the servants made these two dishes. That maid is a little girl named Chunyu next to the princess."

She heard about it this afternoon. It was the arsenic that was found in the Buddha's Jumping Wall. She was scared to death at that time. She didn't poison it!But now she is the most suspected. Thinking of this, her body couldn't stop trembling.

"Well, Mrs. Ben knows." Everything was clear, and there was no need for her to stay any longer, so she got up and went back to Lingxiangju with Luhe.

"Ma'am, do you think it was the cook's poison, or that of Chun Yu's maid?" Upon returning to Lingxiang Residence, Lu He asked Qin Ziling curiously.

He gave Lu He a blank look, "Do you know a word, the more you know, the faster you will die."

Qin Ziling looked at Lu He's curious appearance, and couldn't help scaring Lu He.

"Slaves are not afraid, there is still a madam."

Lu He was not frightened by the second lady's death today, but she joked with Qin Ziling?
"Help Madam Ben to the prince's place again."

Thinking about it, she still had to go to Xuanyuan Yi for help.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard a maid outside the door calling for the prince to come.

Qin Ziling was taken aback, wondering why Xuanyuan Yi came so late.

Just as Qin Ziling stood up, he saw a tall figure rushing over in a hurry. Xuanyuan Yi was still wearing a prince's python suit. From this appearance, he should have just returned from the palace.

After all, this matter was related to the queen and the others, and it happened on New Year's Day, so he went into the palace to report to the emperor.

Although he believed that Qin Ziling could solve the case, he still couldn't help but worry about her, so when he came back from the palace, he went straight to Lingxiangju without changing his clothes.

"I have met the prince in person."

Seeing that Xuanyuan Yi had come in, Qin Ziling got up and saluted Xuanyuan Yi.

"Well, the third lady has trouble with her legs and feet, so she doesn't need to salute when she sees the king in the future."

Her leg will heal soon, and Xuanyuan Yi said that there is no need to salute in the future. Hearing this, Lu He quickly looked at Qin Ziling happily, this is the prince who loves his wife.

Ignoring Lu He's enthusiastic eyes, Qin Ziling was also moved. Today Xuanyuan Yi has been protecting her in the main hall. If Xuanyuan Yi is not a prince, they did not live in the ancient times with three wives and six concubines.Maybe she will really choose to be with Xuanyuan Yi, after all Xuanyuan Yi's family background is good and he treats her very well.

"Is there any progress on the case?"

Jie Gai took a sip of the tea made by Lu He just now, Xuanyuan Yi asked.

"Well, the concubine has been found out, but the concubine still hopes to get the help of the prince."

She couldn't do anything with her current ability to catch Chun Yu back, so she could only ask Xuanyuan Yi for help.

When Qin Ziling said that they had been found out, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. This woman really did not disappoint him.

"Oh, so fast, tell me, what did you find out today? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Raising an eyebrow, Xuanyuanyi looked at Qin Ziling curiously.

"There is a maid named Chunyu next to the princess. She should be the one who left the palace today. I want the prince to help me find her. She is a key person in this case."

Then, Qin Ziling briefly told Xuanyuan Yi what she had gained today.

After listening to Qin Ziling's words, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help becoming more curious about Qin Ziling. How could this woman know so much.

However, Xuanyuan Yi didn't ask too much, he will slowly find out these things.

"Well, I will send someone to search for Chun Yu immediately, and the third lady should rest early, don't worry, I'm still here, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you." Xuanyuan Yi got up and stood at Qin Ziling In front of her, blocking all her sight, she said domineering words of love.

With Xuanyuan Yi's already handsome face, coupled with such domineering love words, Qin Ziling's heart immediately started beating non-stop.I really didn't expect Xuanyuan Yi's flirting skills to be so powerful.

He also ordered Luhe to cook Qin Ziling's soothing soup before Xuanyuan Yi left.

"Wow, ma'am, the lord was too tall and mighty just now, the lord said he won't let his wife have any accidents! Ma'am, go to bed." Lu He's eyes were bursting with peach blossoms.

"Lu He, don't be fascinated by his flirting skills. Man, it's better to love you alone. If you show mercy everywhere, even if you are kind to you at this moment, it will be useless." Qin Ziling put his hand on Lu He On his shoulder, he spoke to Lu He seriously what she couldn't understand.

Lu He, who was completely confused by the madam's words, saw the back of the madam going to bed, she understood the last sentence of the madam's words, it was the prince's kindness to her, but she still didn't appreciate it.

I really can't understand my wife more and more. Isn't what a woman wants is that her husband can love herself?Why is it different when you come to Madam?
The next day, Qin Ziling slept until almost noon before getting up.

After washing and eating, I picked up a book about spices and read it, which seemed extraordinarily quiet and peaceful.

After reading most of Qin Ziling's books, she heard someone from outside reporting that the prince asked her to go to the main hall.

Getting up, Qin Ziling tidied up her clothes and walked towards the main hall.

When Qin Ziling arrived at the main hall, he saw Xuanyuan Yi and Qin Zishuang were there, and after a while, the eldest lady also arrived.

Just like that, several people in the palace sat in the main hall, no one spoke, and everyone just kept drinking tea to cover up the embarrassment at the moment.

While Xuanyuan Yi closed his eyes and rested his mind, Qin Ziling looked down at his fingers.

The main hall suddenly fell into an eerie state of silence.

After about a stick of incense, another servant outside notified the queen, Jingnanhou and Mrs. Jingnanhou that they had arrived.

All the people got up quickly, ready to welcome the queen.
