In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

As soon as Xiao Zhen finished speaking, Ning Chuyi glanced at Ling Chu worriedly.

Ever since Princess Pingyang saw Ning Chuyi, she had been watching him quietly from the corner of her eye.

Seeing him looking at Ling Chu, his heart suddenly became furious. That bitch was indeed Hu Meizi.

Concubine An glared at Ling Chu angrily, "Is it true that Miss Ling poisoned my niece?"

Facing the imperial concubine's anger, Ling Chu had a calm face, "If I said that I didn't poison Miss Cao, I'm afraid the imperial concubine wouldn't believe it. In that case, why not let someone come and find out?"

"Your Majesty, it is better to leave this matter to Dali Temple."

The emperor glanced at Ning Chuyi and felt quite satisfied when he saw him speaking.

The Minister of Dali Temple glanced at Ning Chuyi, but did not dare to say anything.He only complained in his heart that it was rare for him to attend a banquet, but he didn't expect to investigate the case.

The ministers of Dali Temple were well prepared, but to their surprise, the emperor did not find him. Instead, he said to the Minister of Punishment, "Di Aiqing, I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Emperor personally ordered it. Naturally, Di Shangshu would not refute and respectfully agreed.

He quickly questioned the ladies who were gathered around the koi pond earlier.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and with the emperor, queen and concubines present, the ladies were nervous and quickly explained what had happened.

It's just that those girls didn't know how the koi fish in the pond was poisoned.

No one even knew about Miss Cao's death.

It was only said that she accidentally slipped into the pond while watching koi fish, and it was speculated that she choked on the water and was poisoned to death.

Princess Pingyang quietly gave Xiao Zhen a wink.

Xiao Zhen didn't expect that the emperor would ask the Minister of Punishment to investigate, and she felt nervous.Even though he didn't want to speak anymore, his heart trembled when he thought of Princess Pingyang's words.

"Di Shangshu, those koi fish must have been poisoned by Miss Ling. When we came here, we saw her feeding the koi fish."

Ling Chu frowned, it was her first time seeing this girl today.He had no grievances against her, but I don't know why she insists on insisting that she was the one who poisoned her.

Hearing Xiao Zhen's accusation again, Concubine An and Kang Anbo glared at Ling Chu angrily.It's just that because of the emperor's presence, it's hard to have an attack.

Ling Chu did not make any excuses, but said calmly to the Minister of Punishment, "Master Di, I did feed the koi. The remaining fish food is placed by the pavilion. Your Excellency, you can ask the imperial doctor to check whether it is poisonous. "

Before the Minister of Punishment opened his mouth, the emperor glanced at the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor immediately went to check the fish food.

There will be results soon.

Fish food is not poisonous.

Ling Chu was not surprised by this and said quietly, "Master Di, I am not the only one who fed the koi. You see..."

Although she didn't finish what she said, Di Shangshu had already understood it.

The ladies who were by the koi pond earlier are also suspects, and they will all be questioned.

The ladies were originally nervous, but knowing that the fish food was not poisonous, they were no longer afraid.

No one who has fed koi fish denies it.

Although it is known who has fed the koi, it cannot be determined who poisoned it.

It seems the only option is a body search.

The Minister of the Ministry had a headache. Those were ladies, and it was difficult for him to do anything.

I was planning to borrow some maids from the queen to search the lady.

Ling Chu smiled and said, "No need to search. Just wait for a quarter of an hour and the murderer will be caught."

The Minister of Punishment frowned, "What does Miss Ling mean by this?"

"The murderer threw poison into the koi pond, even though the poison was originally wrapped in paper. But the poison was so toxic that the person who threw the poison could not avoid being poisoned even if it was separated by paper.

It's just that the onset time will be slower.

But as long as he waits for another quarter of an hour and the poison takes effect, he will naturally know who the murderer is. "

As soon as Ling Chu finished speaking, Xiao Zhen's expression changed.

The Minister of Justice was secretly staring at the ladies, and he could tell something was wrong with her.

"Is it Miss Xiao who poisoned me?" Everyone's eyes followed the Minister of Punishment and stared at Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen waved her hands in fear and denied, "No, it's not me..."

Ling Chu interrupted her coldly, "Miss Xiao, you don't have much time left. If you waste any more time denying it, you will be dead."

This Miss Xiao kept biting her, and Ling Chu had long been suspicious of her.

It's just that she has no grudge against her. If she was the one who poisoned him, he must have been used as a gunman by someone else.

Xiao Zhen originally didn't believe that she would be poisoned, but when she saw Cao Fang bleeding from all her orifices, she couldn't help but feel fear in her heart.

What if.

Thinking of the fear of death, Xiao Zhen's eyes darkened.

Subconsciously look towards the crowd.

There were many people present, but she didn't know who to ask for help.

Her mother died long ago.

Her father, Shoushanbo, was lustful, but he knew that the ladies who came to the banquets were not something he could attack at will, so he never attended these banquets.

Naturally, I'm not here today. I don't know which brothel I'm in at the moment, where I'm having a good time.

Perhaps the fear of death was too great. When Xiao Zhen saw the imperial doctor, she was instantly overjoyed and subconsciously rushed over, "Physician, please help me..."

Princess Pingyang was so angry that she fell backwards.

He cursed the idiot in his heart.

Although she wanted to stop him, she couldn't speak out in front of everyone.

The imperial doctor glanced at the emperor, and struggled to pull his arm out of Xiao Zhen's hand, "The poison is too strong, I am powerless. Isn't there an antidote for the poison you gave yourself?"

Xiao Zhen looked desperate. She never thought that she would be poisoned, so she never thought about the antidote.

Subconsciously he glanced at Princess Pingyang.

But he saw that she only glared at him fiercely, and then glanced in the direction of Ling Chu.

Xiao Zhen was filled with anger, but she had no choice but to let go of the imperial doctor's hand and rush towards Ling Chu instead.

He knelt down towards Ling Chu with a plop, "Miss Ling, I have followed your instructions and thrown the poison into the koi pond. I have done everything you asked, please give me the antidote."

Ning Chuyi's face turned cold and he was about to speak.

Ling Chu said coldly, "Miss Xiao, do you still insist on framing me now? Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you take the antidote now, you can still save your life.

But if you insist on procrastinating any longer, it will be useless even if Daluo Jinxian descends to earth. "

Xiao Zhen stopped asking for help and looked up at Ling Chu.

She thought that if she begged her, she would always be soft-hearted.

However, she only saw coldness in Ling Chu's eyes.

Not a shred of sympathy.

Xiao Zhen suddenly felt angry, and soon turned into sadness, anger, and despair...

Ling Chu still looked at her coldly, and even said ruthlessly, "Miss Xiao, have a good journey. You poisoned Miss Cao to death. I hope that after you die, you can withstand the torture of the eighteen levels of hell."

Xiao Zhen's pupils shrank.

She is still so young, she cannot die, she has not yet enjoyed the prosperity of this world.

Xiao Zhen couldn't help the fear in her heart any longer, turned around and rushed towards Princess Pingyang, grabbed her clothes and said, "Princess, give me the antidote quickly."

Princess Pingyang was almost mad at this idiot.

Without thinking, he slapped her face and said, "What are you talking about? How can I have an antidote?"
