Xu Rouzhi's accusation came as a surprise, as it angered Su Leyao and shocked the people of the Duke Palace.
Chu Yixuan slowly raised his head, his eyes unfathomable. Princess said that the person who poisoned this king was the Mrs. Su? "
"Yes!" Xu Rouzhi nodded her head, "Mrs. Su had poisoned my tea, but gave me the blame. She wanted me to take the blame for her, and today, I will prove my innocence in front of you, and ask for justice from Mrs. Su!"
"You're lying!" Su Leyao's face was flushed red as she said angrily, "I offer my respects to Your Highness, how could I possibly poison Your Highness!? Xu Rouzhi, you are spouting out slander and slander, what exactly is your intention? "
Everyone looked at Xu Rouzhi anxiously. No one knew what evidence Xu Rouzhi found out from strolling around these past few days. It proved that the poison in the tea was from Mrs. Su.
Xu Rouzhi calmly swept her gaze across everyone and then fell on Chu Yixuan's face.
"May I ask Your Highness, who was the first to discover the poison in the tea that day? Is it Mrs. Su? "
Chu Yixuan looked at Xu Rouzhi silently.
Xu Rouzhi said again, "Am I coming here soon? Did you use licorice and mung bean frying water to cure the king's poison? "
All the servants who were at the scene of Chu Yixuan's poisoning that day were stunned!
The details at that time were indeed what Xu Rouzhi had said, but the problem was, Xu Rouzhi was not present at that time, so how did she know about it? In the past few days, Xu Rouzhi had never come into contact with any of the servants in the Duke Palaces.
Su Leyao was even more nervous, she wanted to speak out and disrupt Xu Rouzhi's train of thoughts, but Chu Yixuan waved his hand to stop her.
Chu Yixuan frowned, his gaze ice-cold: "Continue."
Xu Rouzhi glanced at Su Leyao, "If it wasn't for the fact that Mrs. Su had poisoned the tea and the Duke still hadn't developed his poison, how would she know about the poison in the tea? "If not..."
"I didn't poison it! How could I possibly poison His Highness? "I only realized that there was poison in the tea when I saw the look on Prince's face!" Su Leyao panicked and shouted at Xu Rouzhi: "Xu Rouzhi, don't you slander me!"
"Yes, you really don't want to poison Your Highness, you only want my life! So the Prince had only taken two sips of tea, and you were afraid that the Prince would be poisoned, so you immediately reminded him that there was poison in the tea. You invited the doctor over first, and the doctor waited outside the mansion, and when you summoned him, the doctor appeared in time to cure the Prince.
"It's not like that at all!" Su Leyao panicked, and quickly supported Chu Yixuan by the shoulders and anxiously said, "My prince, don't listen to her nonsense, she obviously wants to take revenge on Le Yao, that's why she deliberately framed …"
Xu Rouzhi did not rush to explain herself, she only crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Chu Yixuan: "My prince, do I still have the chance to continue stating the truth?"
Chu Yixuan said with a dark face, "Princess, please continue."
Xu Rouzhi nodded her head, "After drinking the tea that day, did Your Highness feel discomfort in your intestines, a feeling of nausea and pain under your breastbone at the same time?"
Chu Yixuan's brows slightly knitted. He did not say anything, but he clearly expressed his agreement.
Xu Rouzhi said: "Actually, the poison in the tea is not extremely poisonous, it should have been a few pieces of Hanging Bell Flower leaf added into the tea leaves. This plant, if used as a drug and in small doses, can stimulate the heart muscle, improve the circulation of the blood, and has a significant diuretic and anti-swelling effect. However, if the dosage was exceeded, toxicities would accumulate. Causing bowel discomfort, nausea, vomiting and even stomach bleeding, as well as substernal pain, but not fatal. In order to cure this poison, only use licorice and mung bean fried water to take it. "
"Xu Rouzhi!" Su Leyao pointed at Xu Rouzhi and sneered: You've revealed your true form, right? Why did you explain the symptoms of the prince's poison, the antidote, and even the poison in the tea so clearly? Because you are the one who really poisoned him! Does Your Highness still want to listen to her lies? "
Xu Rouzhi frowned: "I say, Mrs. Su, why must you bite me to death? "You don't want to give up on me if you don't kill me?"
"You … Who dares to touch you? It's obviously you who deserves to die! "
Xu Rouzhi turned her head and sighed: "Bi Su, give us the evidence."
Su Leyao was shocked, but she clenched her teeth and endured, smiling coldly: "Come on, you poisoned yourself, and you have my proof?"
Xu Rouzhi said: "If you don't see the evidence, Mrs. Su is definitely not willing to admit to her crimes."
Bi Su immediately turned around and entered the house. After a while, she came out with a small package in her hands.
Everyone immediately held their breaths, their gazes all nervously staring at the small package in Bi Su's hands.
Bi Su level 1, she opened up the cloth package and revealed a small pile of dried up tea in front of everyone.
Xu Rouzhi picked up the two pieces of tea, held it in her hand, and walked past everyone: "Everyone can see that, right? These tea leaves have been brewed and then dried. "
Lu Ming asked doubtfully, "Princess, you mean these tea leaves are the ones that Prince drank the day he was poisoned?"
"Right." Xu Rouzhi nodded, and picked out a few dried leaves from the leaves, "Everyone, let's take a look, how are these leaves different from the other leaves?
No one said anything, because no one dared to speak until the truth was made clear.
Who dared to offend the Mrs. Su?
However, the current Princess Xu was not someone that everyone dared to offend!
Therefore, pretending to be deaf and mute was the best choice.
Xu Rouzhi then raised the few leaves up in front of Chu Yixuan, "Your highness likes to drink canary tea, right? The canary tongue tea leaves were similar to the canary tongue tea leaves, having the same sharp teeth, green and yellow in color. Although the leaves were slightly similar to the canary tongue tea leaves, they were clearly different. This is the hanging flower leaf, the leaf tip is narrow, the edge is a short pointed, round tooth shape, the petiole is short to sessile. "These are the flower leaves of the hanging bell, they brought the poison into the body of the prince and gave me the accusation of murdering my husband for no reason at all."
"You were the one who murdered your husband!" Su Leyao clenched her teeth, "Xu Rouzhi, you poisoned yourself, and you still dare to collect evidence?"
Xu Rouzhi glanced at Su Leyao: "If it was really my poison, I would have destroyed the evidence already, how would I dare to keep this evidence?"
Chu Yixuan who had been silent all this time, frowned and looked at Xu Rouzhi: "These tea leaves, where did you get them from?"
Xu Rouzhi laughed: "Of course someone unintentionally kept this evidence, I spent money to get it from her. — — As for who she is, I cannot reveal it to prevent anyone from taking crazy revenge on her.
Sang Woruo kept looking at Xu Rouzhi and Su Leyao nervously. She wanted to help Su Leyao, but she was afraid that she would be implicated in the disaster. After all, Xu Rouzhi had never mentioned about her from the beginning, so she still had a chance to protect herself.
Sang Woruo, who had never dared to make a sound, after weighing the pros and cons in her heart, still decided to protect Su Leyao!
After all, she had always been close with Su Leyao, if something were to happen to him, she would not be able to escape from it!
Furthermore, she had done a lot of things together with Su Leyao to push him away, how could Xu Rouzhi let her go?
Therefore, right now, she could only stick to the alliance between her and Su Leyao, and only then would she be able to save herself!
Sang Woruo laughed coldly: "Since wangfei says this is evidence, then how can we possibly know whether this evidence is from the tea leaves that the prince drank on that day, or if you, wangfei, reconcocted it yourself? The tea leaves did not mention what happened that day! "
Su Leyao laughed coldly: "That's right!"
Xu Rouzhi sighed: "If I do not reveal my trump card, will you all really not give up?"
What trump card?
Everyone was baffled.
Xu Rouzhi turned to Chu Yixuan and asked, "Your Highness, may I request for witnesses and testimony?"
Chu Yixuan frowned, his tone extremely cold: "Where is the witness?"
Xu Rouzhi glanced at Bi Su, and Bi Su immediately said: "Your Highness, Princess, please wait. The witnesses are right outside the Duke's Mansion, Bi Su will go and invite them right away."
All the servants in the house were terrified!
Was it really the Mrs. Su poisoning the Duke? How could there be witnesses and testimonies in a case like this?
He didn't know what kind of medicine Xu Rouzhi's bottle gourd was selling, but because of her guilty conscience, sweat quietly permeated through Su Leyao's forehead!
Sang Woruo anxiously looked at Su Leyao, and quickly stepped forward. "My prince, the wangfei summoned everyone here just to deal with Sister Su, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Is your highness really going to let the wangfei do as she pleases? "
Xu Rouzhi had already sat down by the table. Holding a teacup, she blended in the tea and spoke slowly, "Your highness's body was weak in the first place, but there was almost an accident when you were poisoned. This wangfei was wronged, I want to find out the truth, give myself justice, and even give your highness the truth, how can you call this nonsense? Mrs. Sang, don't tell me you were involved in the poison incident! "
Hearing that, Sang Woruo panicked: "Esteemed wangfei, don't bite people randomly!"
"That's what you said!" Xu Rouzhi put down her teacup. "Mrs. Sang, are you scolding this wangfei as a mad dog?"
"I... "I …" Sang Woruo asked for help, but Chu Yixuan just frowned and remained silent. Sang Woruo could only say, "I did not mean that."
"No is best." Xu Rouzhi said lightly, "In front of the Duke, in front of all the members of the Duke Palaces, a lateral consort dares to say that the wangfei is a mad dog. If we were to report it to the Emperor, the Mrs. Sang will not be able to bear the consequences. "
Fine sweat had also seeped out of Sang Woruo's forehead. She could only bitterly retreat back to her seat.
Su Leyao, who was at the side, clenched her teeth, and her silver teeth were about to shatter.
Bi Su returned. Behind him was an old man in his fifties wearing a green robe. Seeing the scene in Xu Rouzhi's room, the old man started to panic. Bi Su said softly, "Your Highness, we have brought the witnesses."
Chu Yixuan slowly raised his eyes. On his pale face, his gaze was as sharp as knives.
