Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 742 Heartbroken grass poison, clean up the inner courtyard (3)
"Your servant has served the son for many years, and she is loyal. How could you do such a bold and reckless thing? The servant knows that the son misses the concubine, but... but the servant has never done it. The prince really wants to listen to others and slander the servant. Is it? Maybe in the eyes of the concubine, the lives of servants are like dust. If the concubine is not happy, the concubine can also let the concubine punish the servants for crimes. But justice is in the hearts of the people. You can see it in your eyes. Today, slaves and servants will never suffer wronged death."

Her last sentence was powerful, her eyes were firm and tenacious, and a sense of righteousness emerged spontaneously, which made most of the audience appreciate and sympathize.At the same time, he felt a little more unhappy with Qiu Mingyue.They have all served in this Tongjun Pavilion for many years, so they can be regarded as old people.Qiu Mingyue is just a bride who just married into the palace, relying on her son's favor to do whatever she wants.If they framed Xiaoju today, if they didn't keep it together, someday they would see them as displeased and charge them with a crime, wouldn't they be wronged?
Thinking of this, someone immediately spoke up.

"My son, Xiaoju has no grievances with this concubine, how could she harm her? There may be some misunderstanding. Prince Wanwang must not act arbitrarily. If you don't investigate and find out, one day if you find out that it's really not the little concubine. The orange is poisoned, I am afraid that if it spreads, it will damage the wiseness of the princess."

"That's right, Hong'e and Zuiwen are in charge of the medicine for the imperial concubine, how can Xiaoju get close?"

"My son, think twice before acting..."

The maids began to beg for mercy, their sentences were tactful, but there was no lack of implication in accusing Qiu Mingyue of causing trouble or directly targeting her close servant girl.

Hong'e's drunken eyes are red, Xiaoju is sobbing, but there is pride and provocation in his eyes.This time, let's see how Qiu Mingyue can change everyone's impression of her.Even if it is found out that she did not do it intentionally, these maids in Tongjun Pavilion will never be with her again.

But she didn't know that Qiu Mingyue never thought of subduing these people.Since they are all impure in mind, why keep them?Finding guilt for himself for nothing.

Feng Qingli was already furious, "Shut up all of them."

The voices of the maids froze all of a sudden, and they all lowered their heads in embarrassment when they met Shangfeng Qingli's cold eyes.

Feng Qingli sneered, "I don't know, when did this Tongjun Pavilion disregard priorities. Who gave you the courage to slander the princess like this?"

The maids were terrified and knelt on the ground in unison.

"My son, calm down."

"That's it."

Qiu Mingyue said softly, "Master, there must be an explanation for this matter."

She held down Feng Qingli who was about to get angry, turned her head, and looked at Xiaoju who was kneeling in front of her.

"Xiaoju, are you right to say that I slandered you?"

Xiaoju lowered her head and sobbed, "I don't dare."

Qiu Mingyue sighed faintly, and suddenly laughed.

"To sow discord and disturb people's hearts. Do you know what kind of crime this is?"

Xiaoju's heart froze, and she raised her head to meet Shang Qiumingyue's cool and penetrating eyes, and suddenly there was a chill from the head to the bottom, until the tip of her heart began to tremble.She thought that Qiu Mingyue deliberately framed herself and wanted to put herself to death.He hated secretly in his heart, so he wanted to use the pressure of public opinion to attack Qiu Mingyue.Unexpectedly, it fell right into her arms.

Qiu Mingyue lazily said: "You don't know, I already know some medical skills, although I am not proficient. But I am very familiar with many medicines, not to mention that I have drunk the medicines these days, and I understand every medicine. Clearly. As soon as the medicine came up today, I noticed a strange smell."

Xiaoju's body began to tremble, and Qiu Mingyue looked indifferently at the maidservants kneeling on the ground who had agreed with Xiaoju before.Seeing that gaze, the maids all lowered their heads, fearful in their hearts.

"Of course, you don't believe me, why don't you just do an experiment. Come and catch a cat. Well, you may say that I have selfish intentions, so you all stay here and don't move. Your name is Lutong, right?"

Her eyes fell on the girl in green who spoke first, and Lu Tong trembled slightly.

"Yes, the servant girl is Lutong."

"It was you who said that the concubine and the concubine wronged Xiaoju, right? The concubine asked you to catch a cat yourself, so as to save you from saying that the concubine cheated. Remember, you want a healthy cat. Coincidentally, the concoction is not dry yet. The red calyx..."

She paused again, then suddenly smiled.

"Oh, my concubine forgot. Now you all agree that this concubine is a mean servant and willfully framed, so the maids around this concubine can't believe it, right? Well, fine. You, your name is Lingyun, right? You use your handkerchief to suck up the concoction. By the way, first check whether your handkerchief is clean, so that you will say that the concubine has lost her bag because of her supernatural powers, so I will give you a poisoned handkerchief. Poison. When Lutong finds the cat in a while, you can give the cat the medicine to lick it. If the cat is safe and sound, this princess is willing to apologize to Xiaoju. If the cat is dead or there are indeed signs of poisoning, then."

Her voice sank slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "Xiaoju provoked dissension and caused the people of Tongjun Pavilion to disrespect this concubine. It is really disrespectful and unjust. They should be punished with a stick and then kicked out of the palace. But you, have not understood the truth of the matter , slandering the concubine of this life, committing crimes against the superiors, and being so daring, all of them will be punished with a stick, and they will never step into the Tongjun Pavilion."

"Elder Concubine?"

All the servant girls were shocked.The reason why they dared to partner up to help Xiaoju suppress Qiu Mingyue was not only relying on their own seniority, but also thinking that there are so many people here because they misunderstood Qiu Mingyue, a concubine with a shallow foundation, If you don't avoid gossip, you won't deal with them all.After all, the law does not blame the public.Besides, when the time comes, they can also say that the reason why they defend Xiaoju is that they don't want the concubine to be tricked by others and misunderstand Xiaoju, and so on. The starting point is for the concubine.Unexpectedly, the concubine Shi Zi was so cruel that she was going to drive them all out at once.

Doesn't she know that there are people behind so many of them?Where did she get this courage?

It's rare for Qiu Mingyue to talk to them, "My concubine hasn't finished talking, what are you in a hurry for?"

She looked at Xiaoju again, "If today's incident is just a misunderstanding, if it is found out who is really involved in poisoning this concubine, this concubine will definitely report it to her father, queen, mother and concubine, and she will never forgive her lightly."

Xiaoju trembled, and the servant girls around her also trembled.Qiu Mingyue made it very clear, now it's not just Xiaoju who is suspicious, they are also suspicious.If it is found out that this matter is related to them, I'm afraid...everyone will regret it immediately, because they are full to eat, so they will go into this muddy water, isn't this asking for trouble?
Feng Qingli had already ordered in a deep voice, "Didn't you hear what Shi Zifei said? What are you still doing?"
