Dead? How could he die properly? It happened to be when the Lord wanted to summon the servant girl.

"What's going on?" Ning Wang frowned. It's been a long time since such a big thing happened in Ning Wang's mansion.

"I don't know," said the messenger, kneeling on the ground. "When I pushed the door in, I saw that the servant girl was hanging on the hemp rope, and her tongue and eyes were sticking out. It was estimated that she should have been cut off for several hours."

At this time, Zhao Taiyi, who has been checking the medicine pot, also said, "yes, the inner liner of the medicine pot has been soaked in the juice of Strychnos. If you use the medicine pot every day to decoct medicine, the Strychnos that penetrate into the inner wall of the medicine pot will also be integrated into the medicine. In addition, the Strychnos that are in the medicine pot itself, it's strange that the old lady won't have an accident."

"Who in the world is so bold to harm the mother and concubine?" King Ning was so angry that he stood up and looked around. All the people lowered their heads unnaturally. Only Qin Yuwen and Princess Ning began to advise one after another.

"Don't worry, father. It's good that the old lady is safe now. Since the dark hand dare to do it, it will leave traces."

"Yes," Princess Ning reached out and patted him gently on the back. "People are doing things and watching." After that, Princess Ning said to her side, "since the servant girl who took care of the herbs in the old lady's yard is dead, I will find all the servant girls and mothers in the lotus fragrance yard. I don't believe I can find any clues."

Ning Wang thought for a moment and nodded.

In a short time, the yard was full of servants. Even the porters who were usually guarding at the gate of the yard were pulled over. One by one, they bowed their heads, were submissive, and dared not go out.

"Those of you who have been in the small kitchen, or who have been responsible for the purchase, distribution and safekeeping of materials, stand up for me." At the command of King Ning, about a dozen people came out of the group. The leader was an older Mammy. Looking at some familiar faces, she should be regarded as the steward Mammy and grandson of the lotus garden. She has been following the old lady for many years.

"Grandmother," Princess Ning saw the old mother at a glance. "You are in charge of the storage of the small warehouse of the lotus garden. Let me ask you, the medicine pot that the old lady has been using has been changed?"

The grandmother was only named because she was nervous. Then she asked the key point again. She knelt down and kowtowed: "the maid is guilty. It's the maid's fault. The maid dozed off and fell asleep in the storeroom a while ago. She just smashed the old lady's medicine jar. The old man was nostalgic. The maid thought that if she was found out, she would be blamed As like as two peas, I took a similar medicine pot in the private.

"How dare you make a private decision?" The second lady timely took justice. "Do you know that the medicine jar you changed almost killed the old lady?"

, grandmother, as like as two peas in the body, she said, "slaves do not dare to, but slaves do not dare to. Slaves only heard that three little grandma's small warehouse had a drug pot similar to that of the old man, and found a good fellow, a good housewife, that is, the housewife in the three little grandmother's warehouse, and the Li's wife son borrowed it, and the rest of the servants were not aware of it, but the servant girl really did not do it."

Everyone's eyes once again cast on Qin yunuan. Qin yunuan immediately stooped to explain: "yunuan is negligent. I don't know that people under his hand have such a serious mistake. Man'er, you should bring mammy Li and confront her face to face."

In a short time, Mammy Li was also brought here. She looked nervous and almost fell when she walked. She seemed to be absent-minded.

"Kneel down." The green bamboo beside Princess Ning drinks to mammy Li, who is even more scared. Seeing the grandmother still kneeling beside her, she immediately understands what's going on. After listening to King Ning's cold words, she stops talking for a while, but suddenly starts shouting bitterly.

"Maidservant Slaves are also forced, and they say, "say everything."

"What are you doing, crying and shouting?" Qin yunuan had an ominous premonition, "speak well if you have something to say."

The second lady also smiled: "yes, Mammy Li, if anyone forces you to do something you shouldn't do, just say it, the prince and the princess are here. As long as you are telling the truth, no one can embarrass you." Two Madame finish saying, Yu Guang so a Piao, then looked to Qin yunuan.

Mammy Li kowtowed: "a few days ago, granddaughter asked her maid to borrow the medicine jar. She thought that although she was in charge of the storehouse, she could not go out without the idea of the master. She went to ask for instructions from her third daughter-in-law. She thought it was a small thing, but her third daughter-in-law asked her maid to show her the medicine jar that she was going to borrow. The second day, she gave it back to her maid and agreed to lend it to the lotus garden Over there, by the way, in addition, the third young grandma asked a lot about the old lady's illness and medication. At that time, the maid felt strange. Why didn't the third young grandma go directly to the lotus hall to visit, but she had to ask the maid privately. "

"Hum, full of nonsense," Qin Yu said coldly. "When did I look for you to see the medicine can? When did I ask the old lady about her illness? I come to the lotus garden everyday to say hello. How about the old lady? Do I need to ask you such a servant in charge? "

Now the situation is very obvious. Looking at the confession of mammy Li, it's obvious that someone bought mammy Li and tried to frame her. Qin yunuan took a deep breath and said to King Ning and Princess Ning: "yunuan has never done anything in the mouth of the maid, and mammy Li is in charge of the affairs in the outer court and never in the inner court. Father and mother can ask me about this All servant girls. "At the end of the speech, Man'er and listen to snow immediately kneel down and say: "maidservant can testify for three young grannies."

Mammy Li said: "the three little grandma's mother Liao, the girl man and the girl listening to snow are all the three little grandma's maids. Only those maids who are loyal to the three little grandma can be on duty in the inner courtyard. They will naturally speak for the three little grandma, but the words and sentences of the maids are true. If there is half of the sentence that slanders the three little grandma, it will be a thunderclap." Mammy Li has a firm attitude and a sincere tone. She can't listen to me like real.

For a while, the room was full of cynicism. The second lady always hated that the east mansion had taken back the three shops in the east of the city that belonged to their second room. Knowing that they had taken care of Qin yunuan, she was even more upset. This time, she was even more desperate.

But Leng Suxin, who had been cold and faint, looked at mammy Li on the ground with a sarcastic tone: "I don't think you were very nervous just now? How can I speak so well now? You are clearly the servant girl in the yard of sister-in-law San, but the accusation against her is unambiguous. It's not easy for her to treat you like this. " Leng Suxin finished, quietly sipped his tea, as if nothing had been said.

Qin yunuan was afraid that when he didn't think of the key point, the cold plain heart that had threatened him would say a fair word for him, but mammy Li's body was trembling: "that's the level that the maidservant really can't pass his conscience," said mammy Li, stretching out her hand and stroking her chest. "Since the maidservant said it, she's not afraid of anything."

At that time, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "then take your conscience out and have a look, Lengwu!"

With the sound of Leng Changxi, Lengwu suddenly came in from the outside of the house, almost holding on to mammy Li's wrist between a breath. It was just about time to exert his force, but Leng Changxi suddenly called for a stop.

"That's enough. What's in her fingernails?" Leng Changxi pointed to mammy Li's dark fingernails. The black bits on her head looked like the dirty things left at work, but look at them carefully.

"Lord, it's Strychnos." Zhao Taiyi picked out a little black powder, smelled it, and said, "it's the most powerful part of the medicine."

Qin yunuan pulls mammy Li's fingers open, sees mammy Li's ten fingernails are full of horse money powder, smiles: "aren't you in charge of the warehouse? Yes? Is there so much horse money in the warehouse? "

At that time, Qin yunuan's yard was also occupied by people. He was holding a tightly packed thing in his hand. When he opened it, it was a pile of clay fragments.

"Liao's mother accidentally broke the medicine jar when she was frying the medicine. As a result, she found some strange things in the medicine jar. Liao's mother was uneasy and asked the maid to deliver them." The little maid's voice is loud, not stage fright.

Qin yunuan carefully opened the cloth bag and found that the inner wall of the medicine can fragments inside was stained with some inexplicable black powder. At a glance, Zhao Taiyi said: "it's also Strychnos."

Mother Li's heart was cold at the moment.

Leng Changxi glanced at mammy Li with a squint: "do you have anything else to say?"

"At the same time want to harm me and my husband two people," Qin yunuan eyes severe, "mammy Li, you dare." Qin yunuan is not only glad that her pregnancy is fake, so she didn't drink the tonic for a while. Otherwise, she may be the same as today's old lady.

"No, it's not like that," said mammy Li, shaking her head dully. "It was an accident to give the old lady the medicine can. I didn't think that the grandson would ask me to borrow the medicine can. I really didn't think that the maid was wrong. The maid was really wrong."

So, the purpose behind this is to hurt Qin yunuan alone? Qin yunuan's heart is tight, but I think it's the same. The old lady is in a high position in the palace. Ordinary people are eager to make up for her. What's the benefit of killing the old lady to everyone in the palace?

"Take this bitch down to me, and I will torture her." With a wave of Ning Wang's big sleeve, the two stout boys came forward and dragged down mammy Li, who was still shouting.

Just at this time, the big servant girl in the old lady's room came to report that the old lady woke up and said that she wanted to see three young grannies.
