Princess Mei, the invincible divine doctor

Chapter 100 Who is the real murderer (4)
"The time is wrong!" Zi Ning twitched her lips and said disdainfully, "From here to the imperial study room, the guards need an incense stick of time to arrive, and the emperor will come from the imperial study room, it will take at least half an hour before and after, and the fourth highness is poisonous." It was a quarter of an hour ago."

Emperor Xuan Jing thought for a while, his face changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, "Zhao Meng, what's going on?"

Zhao Mengshou's face turned pale with fright, and he fell to his knees with a plop, "I don't know! This subordinate, this subordinate——"

"You didn't see His Royal Highness being murdered at all, did you?" Zi Ning sneered silently, "Who ordered you to do this?"

Zhao Meng's head was dripping with cold sweat, his soul was out of his body in fright, "I don't, I don't know, no one, no one ordered my subordinates..."

Jun Yeli suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his face changed slightly, "Zi Ning, what do you mean, someone has already arranged everything, just waiting for the father to come and ask you about your crime?"

"The murderer's main target may not be me!" Zi Ning glanced at Bi Rong intentionally or unintentionally, "Because the murderer didn't know in advance, the fifth princess will bring me too, if I don't have a chance to touch the tea bowl and teacup, naturally I can't poison you .”

Jun Yechen suddenly understood this, instead of looking at her so unpleasantly just now, "Then tell me, who is the murderer!"

"Then I have to ask him!" Zi Ning lowered her head slightly, "Zhao Meng, who asked you to report this matter to the emperor?"

Zhao Meng knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

Emperor Xuan Jing shouted angrily, "Say!"

Zhao Meng trembled in fright, and kowtowed repeatedly, "This subordinate should die! This subordinate should die! Yes, it's Qiu Hua!"

Emperor Xuan Jing frowned, "Who is Qiu Hua?" No wonder he didn't know that there were more than tens of thousands of maids in the palace, how could he know all of them.

There was cold sweat on Xiang Birong's forehead, and his eyes rolled around wildly, trying to find a way to escape.

Zhao Meng didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice, "It's a court lady here. She stopped her subordinates in a panic before, saying that His Royal Highness was killed by others, and her subordinates dared not neglect her, so she reported to the emperor. ! Subordinates dare not lie, tell the truth, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xuan Jing was so angry that he couldn't speak: Zhao Meng would believe anyone who said a word, no brains?

Zi Ning said indifferently, "Your Majesty, Zhao Meng is just a pawn being used, not to mention that he is concerned about the safety of His Royal Highness, it is not wrong. If so, call Qiu Hua, and you will know everything."

Emperor Xuanjing pondered for a while, and then ordered, "Bring Qiu Hua up, I want to ask questions."

The guard agreed and went down to take the man.

The imperial doctor narrowly escaped death, seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he quietly hid aside while wiping his cold sweat.

After a while, a beautiful girl aged seventeen or eight was brought up and knelt down on the ground, "Your maidservant kowtows to the emperor, to the lord!"

Emperor Xuan Jing said coldly, "How do you know that someone is going to murder Lan'er?"

"I don't know, I don't know!" Qiu Hua didn't go far just now, she knew what happened here, and she turned pale with fright, "I, I also heard people say..."

"Qiu Hua, don't spout blood!" Xiang Birong seemed to forget that there was no room for her to speak, and sharply accused, "If you say something wrong, you know the consequences!"

Zi Ning flicked her sleeves, and smiled coldly, "Xiang Birong, don't you think you talk too much?"

"What did you say!" Xiang Birong's complexion changed drastically, and she screamed, "Beitang Zining, what do you mean by that, you, do you think you can hide the truth from the emperor and His Royal Highness by doing this? You are clearly a snake and a scorpion. , you are the murderer!"

Jun Yechen's eyes froze, he vaguely thought of something, and suddenly changed his color, "Xiang Birong, is it you?"

"Impossible!" Princess Yimei immediately shook her head, and hurriedly said, "Father, Birong and Erchen have been playing together since childhood, how could they harm Fourth Brother, no, no!"

Situ Jingyan also knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, Bi Rong is kind-hearted, she dare not even step on an ant to death, how could she kill someone, Your Majesty, don't be fooled by Beitang Zining!"

Jun Yeli sneered: This pair of sisters really know how to act, and they dare not trample on any ants to death. No one knows that they are domineering in Beijing, but the only one who doesn't know is the father, who dares to say such a thing , really shameless!
The situation was so chaotic, Emperor Xuanjing had a faint headache, "Beitang Zining, can you find out the murderer? If this entanglement continues, it will become more and more chaotic!"

Zi Ning raised her eyebrows, "Your majesty just ask this girl."

I forgot about her.Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes turned cold, "Qiu Hua, who instigated you, hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise Ling Chi will be executed!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Qiu Hua kowtowed like garlic, "I'm telling you the truth, it's Miss Xiang!"

Emperor Xuanjing was furious when he heard the words, "Xiang Birong, what else do you have to say!"

Xiang Birong obviously expected this result long ago, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No minister! Your Majesty, it was Qiu Hua who framed the minister, and the minister happily drank tea with His Royal Highness and the Fourth Highness. False words, the emperor clearly learned!"

"Your Majesty, Bi Rong really didn't do it!" Situ Jingyan also hurriedly explained, "The courtier has been with Bi Rong just now, and she didn't tell Qiu Hua to do this. Your Majesty will investigate clearly!"

Hearing this, she denied it to Bi Rong, and Qiu Hua was so frightened that she cried, "Your Majesty, it's really—"

"Baby maid, you still say it!" Situ Jingyan gritted her teeth, if she hadn't been in front of the emperor and King Zhen, she would have kicked him.

"Princess, don't be impatient!" Zi Ning raised her eyebrows, approached slowly, opened the lid of the teapot and smelled it, "This tea is fragrant and pleasant, and it lasts for a long time. The tea soup is very clear. ?”

Situ Jingyan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, "So what?" But she thought in her heart that the topic had changed too quickly, what kind of tea they drank had anything to do with who was the murderer?
"Yinwu camellia is extremely difficult to fry, and is limited by geographical planting, so the quantity is not large, and the best tea is even rarer. The ancestral home of the princess's mother is Huazhou County, which is one of the few places where Yinwu camellia is produced. , this tea must have been brought into the palace by the Princess, isn't it?"

Zi Ning talked about the origin of this tea as if no one was around, her expression was cold, but her voice was clear and pleasant, everyone listened quietly, no one interrupted.

When the last question was asked, Situ Jingyan nodded immediately, "That's right, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Fourth Highness are tea lovers, so I..." Before she could finish her sentence, she was startled, "You doubt me?"

Zi Ning pursed her lips lightly, but did not deny it.

"I didn't!" Situ Jingyan hissed, his face turning pale, "Why did I kill His Highness Fourth? It wasn't me, it wasn't me!"

After being stunned for a moment, Xiang Birong widened her eyes and said, "Sister, is it really you? How could you do such a thing?"

When she was suspected just now, Situ Jingyan immediately stood up to protect her, but now she is in another place, but she immediately blames her. The difference is self-evident.
