C309 hundreds of leaks

Lifei hurriedly opened her mouth, afraid that the emperor would let her push him down.

"What did you say?" The emperor's expression didn't look too good. He asked with a straight face.

"This concubine reported that the Your Highness was poisoned this morning and hurriedly brought people over. However, when the doors were closed, the princess was acting weirdly inside." Lifei said affirmatively. Even I felt guilty when she said those righteous words.

"Little Star, do you have anything to say?" The Emperor looked at me, his brow furrowed.

"Firstly, I didn't poison Esteemed Empress Lianfei, and I don't even know who delivered food to her. Secondly, I didn't act strangely inside, I went in and basked in the sun in the courtyard. If my movements were strange, then I would have slipped away long ago when I heard someone opening the door, and instead would have waited for you guys to catch me. I'm not stupid." I argued slowly.

"Princess, it's probably because you feel that your matter has been exposed and you have nowhere to hide that you won't leave." Lifei still begged for more.

"Compared to this, I think I am a good concubine." "Compared to this, I am a good concubine. "Why don't you show it to us?"

"Since that's the case, then Que Er." Lifei pursed her lips in glee, as if she had already made up her mind.

Que Er acknowledged, then brought the food box over.

"Your majesty, this box is the one the princess bought from someone who poisoned the food. Your majesty only needs to examine it before you know." Lifei couldn't wait to say it.

"You said that the princess found someone to poison her, do you have any evidence?" Where's the witness? " The emperor didn't immediately go to test for poison, but looked at Consort Li with suspicion.

"Of course, chenqie has a witness. Bring the palace maid who brought the food over." Lifei told Que Er, and Que Er followed the orders and walked to the door. Not long later, a lady dressed in the lower class palace maid attire was brought in.

The maids in the palace were usually the personal maids at the master's side, while the secondary maids were chosen for the palace selection. They had excellent performances and were promoted by the master, while the third-rate maids were the palace maids who had a relatively average family background when they were selected. They had the lowest status, and were also the ones who were least welcomed.

The palace maid looked a little scared, her entire body trembling.

"Your Majesty." This is the person who delivered food to Esteemed Empress Lianfei everyday. She personally told Princess Chenqie that she had been given fifty silver taels and that she was to poison Esteemed Empress Lianfei's food. " As she spoke, Lifei didn't forget to look at me complacently.

I shook my head speechlessly. This IQ …

"Let her say it herself. What do you think it's like?" The emperor looked at the palace maid. She was furious, but she didn't dare raise her head. She knelt on the ground, wishing she could bury her head in a crevice.

"Reporting to the emperor, servant, servant." The palace maids' voices trembled in dissonance.

"Just tell the truth. Don't worry, everything will be fine." Lifei looked at that palace maid with concern. Some might think that she was comforting that palace maid, but from my angle, I could see that Lifei was holding onto the palace maid's hand so hard that her veins were popping out, and when she spoke, her eyes were filled with sharp intimidation.

"I'll ask, you answer," I said, walking over to the lady.

"Say, when did I come to find you to poison you? What did you say? What was the original words? What kind of clothes? What kind of bun did you wear? What kind of smell did you use?" "All of this needs to be answered clearly." I looked coldly at the palace maid who was looking at me timidly.

"This, this, this." The palace maid was clearly panicking now as she cast a worried glance at Consort Li.

"You don't know the answer? Then how did you explain it? I told you to poison him." I pressed.

"Princess, you were wearing a cape and mask yesterday afternoon. Your servant was unable to see your clothes and your hair." The palace maid softly said.

"Then how can you be sure that it is mine when I'm masked?" I did not hesitate to poke a hole through it.

"Yes, the princess said so herself." The palace maid timidly followed.

"Oh, really? Then let me ask you, how did I make you poison her? "

"The princess gave me a porcelain bottle filled with poison that could kill people without them noticing. She asked me to place it in the Esteemed Empress Lianfei's food and gave me fifty taels of silver. She said that she would give me another fifty taels of silver in the future. [This servant was lost in thought for a while!]

"Yes."

"Then did I give it to you in or out of the palace?"

"Outside the palace, a servant will go to purchase it. The princess stopped me and forced me to do so." The ladies were already beginning to lose touch.

I feel that this framing is too lacking in standards. It's full of holes, so I don't have the mood to continue playing with them.

"But yesterday, I was in Jing King Manor the entire time. Because of my discomfort, I was unconscious for a day, and I was not allowed to step outside of Jing King Manor even half a step. All the servants in the palace were watching, and yet you said that I wanted you to poison it. I stared at the palace maid. "Can you make up a story more reliably?"

The palace maid's face gradually turned pale as she retreated. Her body began to tremble violently, but not a single word could be spoken.

"That might be because the princess asked her maid to go. After all, her face is covered." Seeing that the palace maid was too frightened to speak, Lifei spoke up for the maid.

"But the maid just said it was me, isn't that a contradiction? Besides, since you're masked so that no one will find out, why are you introducing yourself? "

"Because I wasn't willing at the beginning, but the masked woman said she was a princess' person. If she doesn't agree to the princess' request, she will destroy my entire family. This servant will agree to it, even if I'm afraid." The palace maid lowered her head and said with a trembling voice.

I looked at her and thought, "I really won't die until I reach the bottom of the Yellow River."

"Then I'll ask you when you poisoned it."

"This morning."

"But I haven't touched the food this morning. Why are you all saying that I murdered consort Lian? I left the food box where it was when you went. How about this?" When I looked at Lifei with a questioning gaze, Lifei was stunned for a moment before she opened the box doubtfully. A stinky smell immediately gushed out from the box and she covered her nose with a face full of disdain.

"Then I would also like to ask the princess why she sneaked into consort Lian's palace?" Lifei's expression changed. Perhaps she felt that she wouldn't be able to use poison anymore.

"First of all, I'm not sneaking around like a ghost. I only climbed over the wall because I was too lazy to open the door. Second of all, I didn't do anything inside." I straightened up and looked at Lifei.

"Princess, you said that you didn't do anything, but no one can prove it. Moreover, your majesty, the Esteemed Empress Lianfei has already disappeared, and the princess is coincidentally in the Esteemed Empress Lianfei's palace, isn't that a great coincidence? It must be the princess seeking revenge with the Esteemed Empress Lianfei. "

Lifei said affirmatively, her eyes filled with a sinister aura.

I squinted at Lifei. She was scared by my gaze and subconsciously avoided it.

"I wonder when Esteemed Empress Lianfei disappeared and how did Imperial Concubine Li find out?" I asked.

"I heard that someone reported that the princess had sneaked into Lianfei Palace, so I brought someone with me. When I entered, I found that the palace was empty, and there was no sign of the Esteemed Empress Lianfei anymore. It must have been done by the princess, because at that time, the only person inside was the princess."

"Oh, really? But why do I remember that after Lifei came in, she immediately had people surround me, and kept pestering me without even going over to investigate, and didn't even let her servants in, as if she already knew that Esteemed Empress Lianfei was no longer here. " My eyes were full of probing eyes as I walked step by step towards Lifei, who was frightened by me into stepping back step by step.
