Chapter 206

She doesn't need to say anything later. Everyone present can understand it.

The inexplicable emotion, the urging of drugs, and how things happened have become clear!

Someone dares to put medicine in the soup!

"Come and catch all the people in the back kitchen. The mourners will be interrogated one by one!" Bai Xiyan was relieved of the suspicion of "water-borne poplars". The Empress Dowager also breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice was much louder.

Soon, dozens of people from the back kitchen of the Xu family were brought here. Yan Qiqi made an inspection tour and found that there was no cook who had just given her soup bowl. She felt strange, but she didn't make a sound.

"Is everyone here?" The Empress Dowager Feng's eyes were slightly restrained, and her aura was even more fierce. A group of people were scared to stick to the ground and didn't dare to look up.

"Tell the Empress Dowager that there are 23 people in total, not many and not many, including those hired from outside." It was the housekeeper of the Xu family who came out to answer.

"No cook?" Yan Qiqi felt even more strange.

"Miss Hui, no, today's wedding banquet requires big dishes, so we choose boys and Kong Wuli's male servants, and there is no cook as the girl said."

Xu Shian, who had never spoken, saw that Yan Qiqi looked wrong, so he asked, "why did the princess suddenly ask this?"

Yan Qiqi looked around again. He already felt something strange and his voice was low. "To tell you the truth, a cook asked me to send this bowl of ginseng soup when I went to the back kitchen, but I was stopped by a servant girl on the way."

She knew very well that saying this at the moment would certainly put herself in trouble. Since the Empress Dowager had been involved in this matter, it was bound to find out.

Cheng Guogong was shocked. He knew that this muddy water could not be crossed. Look, there's an accident now!

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager heard Yan Qiqi's answer, and her properly maintained face suddenly turned black. If Cheng Guogong was not present, she was afraid that she would be held down on the spot and arrested as an accomplice in setting up Bai Xiyan.

"Well, why did you run to the back kitchen? Which servant girl did you give the soup bowl to, do you remember? " The Empress Dowager's eyes were sharp and pressed step by step.

Before Yan Qiqi could answer, he saw a man running in a panic, "the big thing is bad. Miss Bai's personal servant girl jumped into the well and committed suicide!"

Today is the happy day of Duke Xu's son. The bride was caught and raped in bed. Even the close servant girl died. In the originally happy room, the atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme, and the red candle light looked sinister and strange on everyone's face.

There are no witnesses and material evidence. If it's not intentional, no one really believes it.

The Empress Dowager patted the table fiercely, "a servant girl will die if she dies. Just find a place to bury her. What are you yelling about?"

Having said that, the servant girl was the one who took care of Bai Xiyan for a long time and was carried to her on a stretcher.

Bai Xiyan looked, didn't come and said a word, and fainted again.

Yan Qiqi stared at the servant girl who was dying, his fingertips were cold, and said word by word, "tell the Empress Dowager that she took the soup bowl from the minister's daughter..."

This remark surprised everyone.

No one expected that the most suspicious person was the princess of Chengguo government!

What's more, many of the people present are imperial court officials. The dissolution of the marriage agreement between the two families has been a heated debate before. Now Miss Bai family, as a daughter with both political integrity and ability, has added a lot of face to the Xu family. According to common sense, Yan Qiqi will really hold a grudge. If Bai Xiyan makes a fool of herself, it can really relieve a lot of resentment in her heart.

"77, what are you talking about?" Yan Tianji, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help accelerating his speed of speaking.

Now the only servant girls who can prove her innocence have died, and she has become the biggest suspect in this matter.

Yan Qiqi has realized this until now. She wants to be worthy of her heart. Unexpectedly, she jumps into a pit that has long been dug by others.

Standing aside, Xu Shian looked at Yan Qiqi with unpredictable eyes. Instead of talking, Xu Cheng suddenly looked up to the sky and howled with a nose and tears.

"Ask your majesty and Empress Dowager to make decisions for the old minister. The old minister's family finally had a happy event. Before, it was my Xu family who was sorry for the Yan family, but my son also paid a price for his youth and ignorance. He was beaten and lay in bed for three months. Cheng Guogong, if you are dissatisfied with anything, just come to me. Why harm him!"

Xu Cheng, an old man, deserves to be a veteran in officialdom. He knows when adding fuel and vinegar can maximize the situation. He howls like this. When he sees such a scene, most people will unconsciously sympathize with them.

This is the reason why public opinion is difficult. At the moment, even if Yan Qiqi didn't do it, those people will put the name of "evil mind" on Qiqi.

"Father, my daughter is telling the truth. At that time, I felt hungry, so I went to the back kitchen. As a result, a cook asked me to deliver soup, so I went."

Emperor Yan looked at Yan Qiqi, but his voice could not hear his joy and anger. "Princess Anhe, what you said, in addition to the dead servant girl, are there other people who can prove it?"

"No." She answered simply.

The atmosphere suddenly reached an impasse.

Xu Cheng's howling voice became louder. Facing the smooth and hard floor, his head was knocked out of blood, "Your Majesty, you have to decide for the old minister!"

This forced Emperor Yan to punish Yan Qiqi.

Xu Cheng wanted to take the opportunity to show Cheng Guogong a good look, so no matter whether Yan Qiqi was the real murderer or not, as long as he could take the opportunity to suppress the Yan family, he wanted it.

Yan Di stared at Xu Shian, who had not spoken all the time, with his bright eyes. "What does Xu Shizi have to say?"

"Your Majesty, the world is soft hearted and people are kind. He..."

"I didn't ask you." Emperor Yan's voice was so deep that he directly cut off Xu Cheng's words.

"Your Majesty, I believe Princess Anhe, not her..." a subtle voice came from the rear, and Bai Xiyan woke up again.

Her face was pale, her hair was scattered, her voice was small but loud.

”If she did it, she didn't have to save me just now. " Bai Xiyan was very clever. She just said her most intuitive feelings and didn't help anyone. At this time, Xu Cheng standing next to her looked even more ugly.
