Chapter Fourteen
Could it be that the aunt and nephew planned the death of Grandma Song?
"Grandma... I don't want to die. I know my fault! Please save me!" Chun Chao, who realized that something was wrong, was like a panicked chicken.
From the moment when Nanny Song entered the palace arrogantly, Chu Lingyue knew that she would not leave alive. The only unexpected thing was the change that happened in the Spring Dynasty.
After a slight pause, she stared at the person kneeling at her feet and said, "I told you, your name is Chun Chao."
Spring hesitated.
As soon as Chu Lingyue arrived at the gate, the carriages and horses of the Empress Dowager Tang and the Empress arrived. The strange atmosphere made the color of the palace lanterns look dark.
"Your Prince Jing's Mansion is really amazing." The Empress Dowager Tang snorted coldly and cast her unexplained gaze on Chu Lingyue. She said: "The Ai family sent people here because they wanted to hear the good news earlier, but they didn't die in a day.
of disbelief."
Saluting respectfully, Chu Lingyue nodded and responded quickly:
"I failed to take good care of Sister Song's life. It is my concubine's fault. Please calm down the Queen Mother. You rushed from the palace in such a hurry. You must be extremely reluctant to leave your people. The body is now placed in the main courtyard. You
You can take your concubines and take them over to have a look."
Grinding her teeth, the Empress Dowager Tang curled her lips and beckoned someone from the team:
"The Ai family is feeling something strange. Dr. Li, please act more quickly in a moment. Remember, while you are investigating the Ai family to get to the bottom of things, don't offend our Princess Jing. Everyone says that she is hiding the poison invisibly. It's true.
At that time, the Ai family will not be able to save you."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Lingyue's thoughts immediately became clear.
It turns out that the Empress Dowager Tang, an old fox, has been doing this for a long time because of this incident?
Aunt Song's death was indeed planned by her. She wanted to use Baihua Killer Poison to kill that naughty slave so that she could have a chance to attack herself!
The matter of Aunt Song's inexplicable drowning has not been settled yet. If the imperial doctor found poisonous substances in her body, and further investigation revealed that Aunt Song had a conflict with Chun Chao, she would not be able to eat it and walk away!
Damn it!
"The Queen Mother is joking. I am just a piece of grass that has been raised at home since I was a child. I have never seen anything in the world. How can I be as powerful as you say? It is better for you to listen less to such low-grade rumors.
, so as not to disturb the purity of your six sense organs."
In response, Chu Lingyue stood up and made a "please" gesture. The Queen Mother looked very unhappy with her old face, which was in sharp contrast to the Queen accompanying her at the Fifth Banquet.
The latter has always been gentle.
"Yue'er, don't worry, he who is clean will be clean himself." Before going in, she comforted in a low voice.
Half an hour later, Dr. Li, who had completed the autopsy investigation in public, reported:
"Judging from the condition of the body, Grandma Song died in the early months of the lunar calendar. After examination, Wei Chen found that there was poisonous Baihuaxia in her stomach, but there was no sign of poison on the body."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Tang was frightened and asked: "Really she drowned? Then where did the poison in her body come from?"
Dr. Li hesitated and subconsciously glanced at Chu Lingyue, who looked calm before adding: "There were obvious scratches on the neck of the corpse, the back of the brain was seriously injured, and there was only a small amount of water in the lungs... If Wei Chen's guess is correct, Grandma Song was murdered.
of."
"Stop being so pretentious! How did she die?" The Empress Dowager Tang had lost her patience for a long time. She couldn't wait to punish Chu Lingyue.
"The murderer wanted to push Nanny Song into the water, but he didn't expect that she not only knew how to swim but also caught the murderer. To prevent the incident from being exposed, the murderer decisively picked up a stone by the pool and hit her on the back of the head. During the struggle, Nanny Song was killed by the murderer.
He was scratched, and finally he lost his strength and was beaten to death."
Chu Lingyue spoke, and Doctor Li paused. Chun Chao was so frightened that her heart almost vomited out, and even Qiu Ri broke into a cold sweat!
This is indeed how things unfolded.
"How do you know so detailedly?" Empress Dowager Tang seized the opportunity to ask, "Could it be that you killed people from the Ai family?"
Suddenly smiling, Chu Lingyue glanced sideways: "The Queen Mother may have underestimated this concubine. I am the majestic Princess Jing. Killing a slave is just a matter of words. Do you need to go through all this trouble?"
"Yes, the Queen Mother, you really made a mistake in blaming the princess sister." Yun Shuangwan came at an unknown time and spoke suddenly, which immediately aroused the Queen Mother Tang's dissatisfaction.
In her opinion, Yun Songwan and Chu Lingyue were in the same group.
"I have met Aunt Song. She is strong and strong, much stronger than my sister. How could a weak woman like my sister have the strength to fight against her for so long? What's more, the cause of Aunt Song's death was not Dr. Li.
That's what I said, because I saw with my own eyes that there was an insect on Nanny Song sucking her flesh and blood!"
Chu Lingyue's pupils trembled as soon as these words came out!
Yun Shuangwan knew that there were poisonous bugs in Nanny Song's body, most likely because Du Ma reminded her of it, but she chose to say it at this time... What a pig-brained person!
"According to what you said, the Ai family can't blame your sister even more." Empress Dowager Tang said proudly.
Who in the entire capital doesn't know that Chu Lingyue knows Gu magic? The cause of Sister Song's death is not important at all. What is important is that she died in Prince Jing's Mansion. Three clues can be tied to Chu Lingyue, and she can't escape it no matter what.
The smile of a successful conspiracy became brighter and brighter. She leaned back and looked sideways at Chu Lingyue, who was looking down at the side. "Mr. Li, please check carefully. Don't unjustly accuse good people, and don't let bad people go."
Chu Lingyue is secretly using blood Gu to swallow the puppet Gu in Nanny Song's body.
Since the three clues are all detrimental to you, you should first remove the physical evidence that is directly related to you, and then slowly deal with the rest in a roundabout way.
Suddenly, a big hand pulled her into his arms, and the next second there was a soft kiss on her forehead.
It was Chu Banshi.
"It's so cold in the morning, why are you dressed so thinly? What's so important that you don't even care about your own body?" Chu Banshi's tone was extremely gentle as he looked down at her with a smile.
Chu Lingyue is slow.
Before she could recover, she was hugged tighter: "I didn't come back from my trip last night, and my wife was angry? Why are you ignoring me?"
"……without."
Chu Lingyue, who gradually came to her senses, was about to say something, but Chu Banshi immediately suppressed her words: "The Queen Mother and the Queen came to our Prince Jing's Mansion before dawn, specifically to avenge the evil slave who bullied my wife yesterday.
of?"
His sudden appearance originally surprised the Empress Dowager Tang, but she didn't expect him to ask this again now. How could she tolerate the junior not giving her face in public?
"The person who gave Ling'er to Ling'er yesterday said it was gone. She died in such a strange way. The Ai family didn't have the right to investigate and find out?" As she said that, she put on her airs again: "The Ai family just can't figure out Princess Jing.
Why do you want to kill Nanny Song? You came just in time to make the Ai family suddenly realize——"
"I didn't expect the Queen Mother to mobilize so much for an evil slave, but it's my fault." After interrupting her, Chu pursed his lips and smiled:
"Mother Song has been serving you for many years. When she first arrived, she publicly beat and scolded the person who served the princess in public, which was obviously to show her power. My wife thought about your thin-facedness and didn't care about it. It's just that the king couldn't swallow this tone and couldn't bear it.
I was disrespectful, so I specially sent someone to do her in the middle of the night when no one was around. If you feel it is a pity, I can choose another girl and send it to the palace for you to use."
Throughout his long speech, there was not a single word that did not protect Chu Lingyue.
Everyone present was astonished. Even Tang Shiling, who had been lying on the Empress Dowager Tang's knees wiping her tears from beginning to end, frowned, not to mention the Empress Dowager Tang who was being targeted and the jealous Yun Songwan.
Not only did Chu Lingyue herself not have any troubles, but she even disliked him more.
The cunning in this man's eyes almost came out. He must have failed to hold it in when he did this suddenly.
"Humph, you two are really in love." The deflated Empress Dowager Tang was even more dissatisfied with Chu Lingyue. She took a breath and pulled Tang Shiling to stand up:
"That's all, Grandma Song's death is what she deserved. It's just that Princess Jing was so arrogant and unruly, and the girls following her didn't look serious. Rong Xiu had been in the palace since she was a child and had served the Ai family for many years. She was smart, sensible and did things properly.
, please stay and serve Princess Jing from today on."
After saying that, she took Tang Shiling aside and didn't know what to explain. The fifth banquet came to Chu Lingyue and whispered in her ear: "Rong Xiu is a good child. I am kind to her. She doesn't dare to do anything wrong."
, Yue'er, just feel free to use her, I will help you keep an eye on it in the palace."
Chu Lingyue had already guessed the Queen Mother's intentions, and was relieved after hearing what the Fifth Banquet said. She took out a box of beauty pills and gave them to her, and she just said: "Yue'er thanked the Queen Mother for causing you to suffer."
…
As soon as the Queen Mother and others left, Chu Lingyue took her hand away from Chu Banshi's palm, turned around and looked at Rong Xiu.
She is determined to train people herself and will not keep anyone around her other than those she chooses.
After thinking for a while, she looked at the expressionless Tang Shiling and said, "It just so happens that Concubine Tang doesn't have anyone around her to serve her. Rong Xiu is the one around the Queen Mother. Let her serve you, and you two will be more friendly as companions. What's the problem?
Zhang Ma wants it."
"Ling'er thanked the princess for the reward." Tang Shiling replied, and quickly left with Rong Xiu.
As the servants in the main courtyard dispersed, only Chu Banshi, Chu Lingyue and Yun Shuangwan were left here.
Sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, Yun Shuangwan came up to him anxiously: "Brother Banshi, thank you for showing up in time to save the princess, otherwise Yun'er really wouldn't know what to do."
After saying that, she quickly found a good excuse for herself: "Sister Princess, it's all because Yun'er is stupid and can't speak. I almost hurt you just now... You won't mind, right?"
Hearing this, Chu Lingyue sneered and said neatly: "Why do you mind? Yun'er doesn't need to mind, after all, no one will compete with a pig's brain."
After saying this, she looked coldly at Chu Banshi, who was still smiling, and frowned: "Just tell me if you have anything to say."
"It's not a big deal. Princess Jing has great powers and will definitely handle it very well." Chu Banshi smiled slyly and walked away gracefully with his hands behind his back. From the beginning to the end, he never gave Yun Sangwan a serious look.
Yun Shuangwan had no place to vent his anger. When he saw Chu Lingyue looking suspicious, he laughed and said:
"Five days from now is the anniversary of the death of my brother's biological mother, Concubine Gu. Every year at this time, Princess Annan will come to our house with her servants to hold funerals. How come the princess and sister don't even know about this?"
