famous concubine

Chapter 407: Beyond Secrets (4)
Only now did Dongfang Yu have the opportunity to see Ye Shi's face clearly, but after seeing it, she was slightly taken aback; she heard that Ye was only forty years old, but seeing Ye's appearance in front of her eyes, she looked like he was five or sixty years old. The old woman is no different, with weathered wrinkles, a pair of lifeless eyes, and the shocking red scar on the left cheek...

Even when she saw it, she shook her head unconsciously.She was very surprised why the Dongfang Mansion would take in a person with such a scary appearance; according to her understanding, Madam also has extremely high requirements on the appearance of the servants in the mansion. necessary.

That red scar... Dongfang Yu looked carefully, and was surprised once again when he looked closely. It was not an ordinary scar, but was branded on by a red-hot iron.

Looking closely, from the outline of this Ye's face, it can be vaguely seen that she should have looked pretty good back then.

Dongfang Yu was full of doubts; Gu Feng asked without emotion: "I heard that you are in charge of firewood in the Dongfang Mansion, then you should have never met Young Master Geng."

When Gu Feng said this, his voice rose sharply, exuding a terribly cold voice, and he shouted sharply: "Say, why are you planning to murder Eldest Young Master Geng?"

"My lord, you are wronged!" Without exception, Ye Shi lowered his body and called out wronged with an aggrieved expression. "The servant girl changed clothes for a young guy, but the servant girl didn't know who he was at all. At that time, the servant girl changed the clothes for him, but she saw that he was dirty, and... and... felt that he was the same as the servant girl's son. It's very similar, everyone in the mansion is busy with the old lady's birthday banquet, and the servants' kindness is overflowing for a while..."

Gu Feng was startled, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked, "You still have a son? Does he look like Young Master Geng?"

Mrs. Ye still bowed her head, her shoulders were trembling, but she pretended to be calm, and said: "My lord, this servant has a son named Ming Yisheng, who is helping to take care of the animals in the mansion, but because of previous accidents, his sanity is not the same as The young master Geng is the same as the adults, he is a person with a mental retardation..."

Gu Feng frowned and recalled the clothes Geng Qi was wearing now, the material and style of the clothes did indeed look similar to the servant's clothes.

At this moment, he felt that the case that had been revealed just now seemed to have fallen into a dead end again.

If Ye's change of clothes for Geng Qi was purely an unintentional act of love, then who is the real culprit in Geng Qi's poisoning incident?
"Master Gu, I think everyone is a little tired, why don't you take a rest first, and then interrogate?" Madam was very sensible, seeing Gu Feng's expression was tangled, she immediately did what a thoughtful master should do, and raised it gently suggestion.

Gu Feng thought for a while, then looked at the large number of guests waiting for the results in the garden, frowned, and said helplessly: "Okay, just as you said, Madam, everyone should eat and drink; today But to celebrate the birthday of the old lady Dongfang, you can't spoil the old birthday star's interest because of this accident."

Seeing this, the guests had no choice but to coax them, then dispersed one after another, and then returned to their seats to continue eating, but the atmosphere and mood were no longer joyful at all, and some were only nervous and worried, and some were trembling and worried. Seeing Geng Qi's lesson from the past, many people felt a little trembling in their hearts, and the air was silently filled with the smell of war.

The birthday banquet, which was originally very festive and lively, came to a hasty conclusion amidst the tasteless banquet of the guests.

The birthday banquet is over, and the birthday guests, except those related to Geng Qi's case, should have dispersed; but because the crown prince and his coveted royal beauties are still sitting motionless in the Dongfang Mansion; so some The bold, passionate, passionate girls found excuses to stay, thinking that if they could find a chance to get close to one of those few people, their future prospects would be limitless.

One must know that Fengluo and other beautiful royal men are absolutely rare to see on weekdays; today is a rare opportunity to flirt and show their individuality and talent, whoever is a fool will give up this hard-won opportunity.

For a while, the guests were divided into half and half.

Gu Feng looked at the surging heads, and the girls who were so excited, their heads became dizzy for a moment.

So many people staying at the scene, didn't they interfere with his handling of the case!
But he has no right to drive away.With a gloomy face, he brought Mrs. Ye in front of him again for interrogation.

"Mr. Ye, I'll ask you again, besides changing Geng Qi's clothes, did you stuff anything else on Geng Qi's body?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Ye's face covered with wind and frost seemed to tremble slightly, Dongfang Yu looked at her trembling shoulders, and his heart tightened slightly.She always felt that there were some unknown secrets about Ye Shi.

"My lord, this servant only changed his dirty coat at that time, and nothing else was changed." Ye Shi didn't raise his head, and although his voice was soft, he spoke clearly.

"By the way, the little brother next to him was waiting outside all the time, and it only took a short while for the servant to change the clothes of the young master Geng." Ye's expression was flinching, but she calmly The tone of voice made people feel a chill in the bottom of their hearts for no reason. "Your Excellency, you can ask that little brother, did the slaves let them go in person after returning the clothes that Young Master Geng had replaced?"

Manzi was waiting by the side at the moment. Hearing this, he didn't wait for Gu Feng to ask any questions, so he stepped forward and replied, "My lord, although the villain was waiting outside at that time, this mother really only changed the coat for the young master. That's all; because the villain was worried, he secretly looked in through the crack of the window."

Hearing the words, Gu Feng suddenly became irritable. He couldn't help but rubbed the center of his brows, looked at Manzi, and asked helplessly: "Then after you took Geng Qi and left this Ye family's wing, did you see anything on the way?" Who will you meet again?"

Manzi looked at him blankly, and immediately opened his mouth to answer, "My lord, no!"

"No!" Gu Feng pondered for a while, and suddenly his face changed, his eyes flickered coldly, and he shot at Ye Shi with invisible coercion, and shouted in a cold voice: "Well, you Ye Shi, you actually made sophistry and tried to Fool this official."

"Quickly tell me, why did you secretly put a handkerchief contaminated with seven-step poison on Geng Qi's body?"

Although Ye Shi was shocked by his stern voice, she shivered a little, but she shrank her small body and still forced herself to be calm: "My lord, there is no servant, you can't wrong the servant."

"Still calling for injustice!" Gu Feng was probably very annoyed because Fengluo and the others had been watching, glared angrily, and said coldly to Mrs. Ye again: "The barbarian has already said that Geng Qi came out of Luyiyuan After that, I only had contact with you when changing clothes along the way, and the poisonous veil on his body belonged to Dongfang Mansion. anyone?"
