C61 Sent to prison

After listening to her explanation, Fu Yuheng stroked his chin. To this princess, it seemed that he had truly neglected her. And yet, she didn't seem like the person who had done her in the first place.

"Enough. Is there anyone else here who has come close to this bowl of porridge?" The sharp gaze swept across Lian Yun, instantly clearing her mind.

Lian Yun scratched her head and thought for a while. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, remembering that a servant girl had come over to ask who she was sending the porridge to and even chatted with her for a good while.

"Humph!" "It's really useless." With a swing of her blade, Lian Yun felt her entire body shivering violently. She knew that this time, she was probably framed.

Fu Yuheng narrowed his eyes. "We can decide on this matter after we find that maid!" After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left, but it was still enough to make the two of them heave a sigh of relief.

"Don't go out for the next few days." After saying this, Fu Yuheng no longer looked at her and turned to leave.

Shen Qingwan felt a little dizzy. She didn't want to get involved in the dispute over the harem, but she was still dragged into it. On the other hand, that princess was a pitiful person who had been poisoned for no reason at all.

"Lian Yun, go and check if there is anything wrong with the princess' body. Also, find out where the maidservants came from."

She was a person of the harem, but she had no choice but to protect herself.

Lian Yun nodded in agreement. In her heart, she was blaming herself for accidentally implicating her own mistress, hence she was even more serious in her actions.

The next morning, Fu Yuheng summoned her over. There was a maid kneeling below the main hall.

"AHH!" It's her! " Lian Yun pointed at the servant girl and screamed, the one who followed her that day was this servant girl.

Fu Yuheng glanced at the two of them but did not reveal much of an expression.

This maid was originally from the kitchen, so it was very easy to find out.

"Did the Emperor summon chenqie here for something?" She already knew the answer, but her heart felt helpless. Why did she have to frame me like this? Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Shen Qingwan was at a loss.

"Speak, what happened!" Fu Yuheng glared with a face filled with majesty, causing one to be unable to help themselves from submitting to him.

However, whether it was intentional or not, the maidservant looked at Shen Qingwan from time to time, his eyes filled with anticipation and fear. "This …"

"Speak!" Seeing her stuttering appearance, Fu Yuheng felt even more furious. "Did you get close to Lian Yun on the way to deliver the medicine that day?"

The servant girl was startled, and subconsciously looked in Xiao Shushen's direction, only to see her looking at her with a smile that was not a smile. She was shocked, and then she lowered her head, with a glint in her eyes, "Reporting to the emperor, this servant, this servant has approached you."

"Mm …" Hearing this, Fu Yuheng nodded his head. Looking at Shen Qingwan who seemed to have nothing to do with him, she felt helpless. He was worried about her, but she acted like nothing had happened.

"Then did you poison it?"

The servant girl seemed to be panicking and even her words were a bit halting, "Reply …" To reply the Emperor, this servant has never! " His mouth was still stubborn, but his hands were drenched with cold sweat.

"If you know what's good for you, then speak the truth. If you have a lie, then be careful of your head!" At this time, Xiao Shushen opened her mouth and spoke in a lukewarm voice, "Don't wrongly accuse the Consort Xian's sister for your own selfish desire."

Shen Qingwan didn't know why she felt that there was something wrong with those words. Could she really be that kind to help her?

Fu Yuheng was suspicious of the empress's magnanimity, but he was pleased with it.

"Speak!"

The maidservant was suddenly startled. "Your Majesty, please spare my life. That poison was indeed put in by this servant." The sound of his head hitting the ground caused everyone to tremble in fear.

The surrounding concubines looked over and pointed at her. At the same time, they looked at Shen Qingwan from time to time. It was unknown if it was sympathy or suspicion.

With a cold expression, Fu Yuheng's heart surged with a wave of anger. What audacity! As a servant, he actually dared to poison the current Princess!

"Humph!" Just why did you poison the princess?! " His eyes were sharp as he looked at the man on the ground. Even though there was blood on his head, there was no trace of pity.

The servant hesitated, but after seeing the cloth bag in the Gui mama's hands, she steeled her heart.

"In reply to the emperor, the second princess usually treats us very badly. Previously, she intentionally made things difficult for us by cooking her meals in the kitchen, and she even beat up and scolded us. Only then did hatred arise in this servant's heart, and he poisoned her with a chronic poison." He finished his words in one breath, but his heart was filled with despair.

"What poison is that?" Fu Yuheng straightened his body and frowned.

"Arsenic …" The servant girl calmed herself down, but there was less color in her eyes.

Shen Qing Wan saw that she was looking at Xiao Shushen from time to time, and also looked at the hands of the Gui mama. It was a somewhat worn out cloth bag, which was obviously not one of the palace's concubines, probably belonged to this servant girl.

But even so, she was unable to help her. After all, the Queen was currently the head of the harem. If she interfered, it might bring harm to the maidservant.

His eyes darkened, and he suddenly felt powerless.

"Do you know your crimes!?" Fu Yuheng slammed his palm on the table, and the person on the ground quivered once again.

"This servant knows that she has committed an unpardonable crime, and is willing to atone for it with her death!" As he spoke, he raised his head to look at the emperor. The despair in his eyes was enough to cause anyone to feel sorrowful.

With that, he stood up and before anyone could even react, he had knocked his head against the pillar behind him and lost all signs of life.

"AHH!" Some of the timid imperial concubines couldn't help but yell out.

Even Shen Qing Wan was stunned. She did not know if she was mistaken, but she felt that the person who looked at her before he died seemed to be feeling guilty.

Shen Qing Wan quickly lowered her head, pretending that she did not notice anything, but she knew that the princess matter this time, would definitely have something to do with her.

When Fu Yuheng saw this situation, he had no choice but to have everyone withdraw before calling the imperial physician over. But after the imperial physician went forward to take a look at his pulse, he shook his head, indicating that this person had no way to treat him. Only then did he retreat, a look of regret on his face.

But in the end, dust returns to dust, the maid is dead, there is no need to pursue this matter any further. Any further investigation and it will be a dead cause and Shen Qingwan is no longer suspected.

Gui mama kept the cloth bag in his hand, and with a mocking smile, he glanced at the man lying in a pool of blood, and then whispered into the ears of the servant beside him: "Remember to clean up a bit, and don't leave a single person alive!"
