Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 166 I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go (1)
Xun looked sideways and smiled gratefully at her.

Ling Xihan's heart skipped a beat, she didn't expect that in this huge palace, these two people are really sisters.

As for Ling Xiqing, her eyes darkened.Standing in the corner, Ling Xizhen squinted her eyes, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Father, this matter is weird. If Concubine Xun deliberately wanted to kill Concubine Zhao's child, it would definitely not be so obvious."

Xun raised his head and glanced at Ling Xizhen in surprise, he didn't expect that she would help her.

Ling Xiqing's eyes darkened, and sure enough, Eighth Sister...

The corners of Ling Xihan's mouth curled up slightly, and now, this unfathomable eighth younger sister finally slowly revealed her appearance.That's fine, let her take a look at what Ling Xizhen really wants to do.

When Mrs. Zhao heard Ling Xizhen's words, she refused to obey, "Miss Eight, what do you mean by that? Am I going to use my own child to frame her? You have to prove what you say." Her eyes were full of anger, this Ling Xi Jane, who usually speaks very little, didn't expect to spoil her good deeds at this time. It's really hateful.

Ling Xizhen smiled faintly, "What is Zhao Fangfei talking about? I just expressed my doubts in my heart. Just a purse doesn't mean anything. Didn't the third sister almost suffer the same trick last time? Think about it , there are so many people around you, it is unknown if this purse has been tampered with. Besides, the third sister has already said just now that these flowers are not poisonous at all, they only become musk when they are mixed together. All of this may be a coincidence." Her analysis is not without reason, but—

"Yan'er." King Zhongyi's eyes were deep, and he looked at Xun Shi lightly. "I remember, you are quite good at medicine."

"My lord!" Xun Shi was shocked, did the lord doubt her by saying that?She smiled wryly in her heart, never thought that she had been with him for so many years, and he didn't even give her this little trust.

She took a deep breath, with a firm expression: "I am indeed proficient in medicine, but." Her voice changed, indifferent and strong.

"I have never done anything harmful to Sister Zhao's unborn child. That purse was indeed given to Sister Zhao. But I have seen it just now, and there are still traces of the safflower water on the petals. Some of them were absorbed by the petals. Judging by the depth of the color, those petals must have been soaked in safflower water for less than seven days." Her eyes were bright, and her eyes were full of clarity.

"My lord, I just reunited with Sister Zhao seven days ago. How can I have time to poison Sister Zhao? Besides..." She paused, and said in a round voice: "I didn't add foxtail lily in it. If the lord If you don’t believe me, you can ask the third miss. In the purse that I gave to sister Zhao, except for the foxtail lily, all of them have the effect of calming the mind and resting." When she said this, she looked at Mrs. Zhao who was lying on the bed, and said: "Some time ago, sister Yuan said that she didn't sleep well, so I personally embroidered this purse for her. But I didn't add foxtail lilies in it. Please, my lord... be careful." She looked at Zhongyi with bright eyes. Wang, there seemed to be broken crystals in his eyes.

King Zhongyi's gaze loosened slightly.

Ling Xihan said lightly: "Father, Concubine Xun is right. If there is no foxtail lily, the petals in this purse do have a calming effect and are very good for pregnant women. If there is no foxtail lily, even if it is red After soaking in flower water for seven days, Concubine Zhao's pregnancy has stabilized, and she definitely won't give birth so easily." The Xun family has no enmity with her, and she has no reason to deliberately frame her.She has always been a person with clear grievances and grievances, so naturally she would not poke Xun's back at this time.

King Zhongyi pursed his lips and remained silent.

Over there, a faint smile flashed across Ling Xizhen's eyes, and suddenly she glanced at Ning Shi, with a strange light flashing across her eyes.

"Xun Concubine, then besides you, who else has moved this purse?"

"Who moved?" Confusion appeared in Xun's eyes, he suddenly thought of something, subconsciously glanced at Ning beside him, then shook his head. "No, no one has moved." Sister Ning will not harm her.

Anger flashed in Ling Xizhen's eyes, and she quietly clenched her fist.This scene happened to be captured by Ling Xihan.The corner of her mouth is raised, she can't hold her breath so quickly?

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, suddenly a servant girl hurried over.

"My lord, it's not good, something happened." She looked panicked, as if she had seen something terrible.

"Tianhe, what are you doing here?" Ling Xiyun was surprised, Tianhe was her personal maid.

Tianhe knelt on the ground and hurriedly reported: "My servant Tianhe sees the prince and the princess."

"What's the point of being in such a panic? What happened?" The princess frowned and said coldly.

"If you go back to the princess, Yiliu, the servant girl who served the concubine Xun, died."

what!Everyone was surprised, what does it mean that Liu died at this time?
King Zhongyi glanced at the kneeling Xun family again, with obvious disappointment in his eyes.

Ling Xihan's face was expressionless, but Liu Mei frowned slightly.Ling Xizhen lowered her head, her eyes sank.Ling Xiqing's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a happy arc.

When everyone came to the servant's courtyard, they saw Yiliu lying quietly on the ground, his face was pale, and there was still black blood on the corner of his mouth, obviously he died of poisoning.

Ling Xihan frowned, she felt a familiar breath.His eyes subconsciously looked around, and there was nothing unusual.She suppressed all doubts in her heart, and looked lightly at Yi Liu who had died of poisoning.It was too strange for this maid to die at this special stage.

King Zhongyi looked coldly at Xun Shi, whose face was pale after seeing Yiliu's body, the disappointment in his eyes grew stronger, and then turned coldly towards the doctor who was escorted over.

"Is it her?"

The doctor looked at Yiliu carefully, then nodded repeatedly.

"It's her, it's her who made the villain hide the fact that Concubine Zhao has musk on her body."

"Xun side concubine." King Zhongyi looked at the Xun family with a cold expression on his face. "Is there anything else you want to explain?"

Xun Shi staggered back two steps, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was on the verge of falling.

"Sister!" Ning exclaimed, immediately supported her, and then looked at King Zhongyi: "My lord..."

"There is no need to say anything." King Zhongyi interrupted her in a cold voice, "Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, do you still want to argue?"

Xunshi shook again, then smiled sadly.

"My lord, don't you believe in concubines?"

King Zhongyi snorted coldly, "How can you make me believe you?"

Xun Shi smiled bitterly, and said quietly: "Since the prince has already determined that the concubine is the murderer, why bother to ask more questions?"

"Sister?" Ning Shi was shocked, seeing the emptiness in Xun Shi's eyes, she knew that she was already desperate.She lowered her head, laughing at herself.Sure enough, no matter how sincere they were to the lord, the lord only favored them and had no love for them.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at King Zhongyi with firm eyes.
