Traveling through time as a mother and daughter, infrastructure and delicious food are still the sam

Chapter 40 Spring Rain
"Miss Zhou, you don't have to make up such a story in order to offend yourself." Princess Jing heard the flaws in Zhou Yuncheng's words, and retorted: "If it's true, why are everyone still poisoned?"

"Concubine Jing is really quick-witted." Zhou Yuncheng replied: "That's because we just instructed the follower to replace the medicine powder with cassava powder, instead of directly connecting the container to drop the bag. So there may be a small amount of poison powder left in the container , everyone will have more or less symptoms."

"Why don't you just drop the whole bag?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"Naturally, we want the person behind the scenes to surface." Cheng Ruoxi said leisurely.

"Who is the person behind the scenes?" someone shouted first.

"Yeah! Who is it!? The mind is so vicious!"

"Who regards so many human lives as worthless!?"

The crowd was furious, and everyone shouted bitterly.

"So," Concubine Jing looked at the angry public opinion, and said with some guilt: "The little cooks are really hateful! Come here! Drag those three cooks out who want to poison everyone, and behead them!"

"Princess Jing, don't you want to interrogate?" Cheng Ruoxi said.

"That's right, you won't report to the government anymore?" Zhou Yuncheng added.

"Miss Zhou spoke so clearly, there must be nothing wrong with it." Princess Jing said.

"Thank you, Princess Wang, for your trust," Zhou Yuncheng said, "But I think it's better to clarify."

"Yes," Cheng Ruoxi sang with her, "The prince also said just now that no matter who is found, he will deal with it fairly and will never tolerate it."

"Where did you just say?" Zhou Yuncheng thought about it for a while, and then said:
"Oh, by the way, the 'bloody flower' was given to the cook by a man in coarse sackcloth. And this man has already been captured by us."

When Chun Yu heard this, his face was completely drained of life.She even felt that it was difficult to breathe, and every time she took a breath, it felt like a weight of gold was weighing on her chest.

"It's a coincidence that the man I captured looked very familiar to me." Zhou Yuncheng glanced at Chun Yu like this, and then said, "It was only later that I remembered that I had seen this man with him in the garden of Prince Jing's mansion. Miss Chunyu 'communicated privately'."

"You...you spitting blood!" Chun Yu said in a trembling voice, "I don't know him at all!"

"Oh?" Zhou Yuncheng thought about it and said, "Miss Chunyu, you haven't met that person yet, so why do you think you don't know him?"

Spring rain is speechless.

"Besides, I didn't say that you ordered this person to poison me. I just said that you 'communicated privately'. If that person was originally a servant in Prince Jing's mansion, it is normal for you to meet. Why is Miss Chunyu so anxious to get rid of it? Relationship?" Zhou Yuncheng said slowly.

"Then... that's because..." Chun Yu was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

"Miss Zhou!" Concubine Jing said again at this time: "According to what you just said, normal people would be anxious when you say that they 'communicated privately'. At this time, they are eager to separate themselves from the poisoning suspect. Relationships are even more human. Chunyu is my personal girl, and I know her character well!"

Zhou Yuncheng looked at Princess Jing with a smile, nodded appreciatively and said:
"It's understandable for the princess to protect her shortcomings, but I advise you not to speak up so quickly. In case you see the evidence later, you will regret your statement at this moment."

Princess Jing felt guilty when she heard this, so she could only keep silent.

Zhou Yuncheng glanced at Cheng Ruoxi, and Cheng Ruoxi motioned to Dr. Zhou to present the things.

Doctor Zhou took out a pale pink purse from the medicine box and presented it to Zhou Yuncheng.

Zhou Yuncheng took the purse, showed it to everyone, and said:
"This is the purse that contains the 'Bloodblood Flower' poison powder."

Everyone stretched out their heads to look at the purse.I saw that the purse was made of high-quality silk and satin, embroidered with a few sprigs of peach blossoms on it, which was very beautiful.And the most subtle thing is that among the peach blossoms, there are some raindrops floating, making the purse look more delicate.In the lower left corner of Zhu Yu, there is a small embroidered word "Spring".

"Purse?" After everyone finished reading, they couldn't wait to ask: "Then what happened to the purse?"

Looking at the purse, Chun Yu seemed completely dumbfounded, hating herself for making such a mistake.

During this period of time, the weather has become hot, and the clothes are relatively light and thin, which is not suitable for hiding large bags of medicine powder.After thinking for a long time, she decided to put the powder in her purse so that it would not be too conspicuous.

But because of getting along with the servants and maids for a long time, everyone knows what their purse looks like.In order not to make them suspicious, he simply didn't change it, and directly used the purse he used in ordinary days.

It never occurred to him that he would be arrested.She never thought that this purse would fall into the hands of Zhou Yuncheng and Cheng Ruoxi.

"Eh? Isn't this one?" At this moment, the servant of Prince Jing's Mansion recognized it first: "Isn't this Miss Chunyu's purse?"

"Oh, I saw it just now," another little maid said in a low voice, "That raindrop, that word of spring, is clearly Miss Chunyu's purse."

"It seems that everyone has noticed it," Cheng Ruoxi saw that the timing was almost there, and said, "That's right, this purse containing the poison powder is Miss Chunyu's purse."

She paused again when she said this, and took a special look at Chun Yu, who had her head down and kept twisting her handkerchief, and said:

"And this is exactly the same as the confession we got from the boy who delivered the poison to the cook when we interrogated him. The poison was given to him by Chunyu."

When everyone who was holding their breath just now heard this, they all changed from initial surprise to anger.They surrounded Chun Yu one after another.

"Why are you doing this?!"

"Why do we worry and complain? You want to poison us like this?"

Everyone is getting closer and closer, and it looks like something will happen.

"Everyone calm down! Come here! Let everyone calm down!" Following Prince Jing's order, a large group of soldiers from Prince Jing's mansion rushed in, separating everyone from Chun Yu.

"Prince Jing! Please give everyone an explanation!" Seeing that the soldiers in Prince Jing's mansion could not rush, the crowd took the lead and knelt down.

Hearing this voice, the little workers also knelt down towards King Jing one after another:

"I beg Prince Jing to make the decision for us!"

"Everyone, please calm down," Cheng Ruoxi, who had just been watching coldly, said at this time, "Prince Jing has promised from the beginning that no matter who is found, he will deal with it fairly and will never be partial."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Ruoxi looked at Prince Jing, as if waiting for him to express his opinion.

But at this moment, Princess Jing fell to her knees with a plop:

"My lord, Chun Yu has been with me since she was a child. I watched her grow up. She won't do such a thing. You can't just listen to their one-sided words!"

Princess Jing's thoughts at this time are very clear: as long as she saves her life first and prevents Chun Yu from being lynched, there is still room for change in the future anyway.

But what she didn't expect was that Cheng Ruoxi spoke again at this moment:

"Yes, my lord, we have always felt that Miss Chunyu has no grievances with everyone, so she shouldn't do this. So we kept her cassava starch in the purse to prevent them from realizing that they had failed. The purpose was just to draw out the real Behind the scenes."
