The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 309 The original culprit appears (2)
After rationalizing, he said, "I also have a testimony from Imperial Physician Xu here, which mentioned that the ointment of yangning herbs in the Buddha beads has only been twenty and three days since it was made. The herbal ointment was made on the eighth or ninth day of the first lunar month, and the string of Buddhist beads had already been given to Princess Jin by the prime minister's wife, so the prime minister's wife cannot be the murderer, she is innocent."

Zhen Yingjie changed his tone and said: "According to the results of the imperial physician's examination, the smell of long worry grass was also found in the beads. The long worry grass can make it difficult for women who have never given birth to conceive. It should be before putting the yangning grass. Someone put Longwort Grass into Buddhist beads, and Imperial Physician Xu also discovered the medicinal power of Longwool Grass in the prime minister's wife, so the person who put Longworry Grass into Buddha beads should be targeting the Prime Minister's wife."

"It's just that the person who intended to murder Princess Jin happened to use the same method to replace the long worry grass ointment in the prayer beads and reinsert the Yangning grass ointment of the same weight, causing Princess Jin to have a miscarriage. The matter also brought out the long worry grass, so that the prime minister's wife could be treated in time, and did not cause any harm to the body." Zhen Yingjie explained the reason of the Central Plains lightly.

After Boqing heard this, her face was pale, but anyone could exhale it from her body. The horrified chill could feel her anger. The Queen Mother's intentions were so sinister that she even tried to murder her like this. Although she didn't succeed, she really deserved to die .

Chen Ling'er was more and more chilled. It wasn't the Queen Mother's methods that chilled her, but her ruthless retaliation.

If the prince hadn't spoken, the woman would have known who was behind these plots, but she didn't say a word when she was by her side.

Because she wanted to punish her grandmother by destroying herself, and it was an equally clever move to kill without blood. She was not qualified to blame Boqing, but she had to be deeply afraid.

Qing'er slowly swept across the crowd, his eyes fell on Qing'er, and he said coldly: "Originally, my wife didn't want to care about other people's family affairs, but she should never have been involved in it. It actually got involved, Your Highness the Crown Prince." I sent a message again, asking my wife to assist in this case, so don't blame me for not being able to tolerate you. Miss Qing'er, don't you think so?"

Qing'er was shocked all over, raised her head and looked at Boqing in disbelief, and said tremblingly: "Prime Minister's Madam, the servant did not harm the princess, and the servant has no reason to murder the princess."

Then he kowtowed to Zhen Yingjie and said, "Your Excellency, the servant did not murder the princess. The princess has been guarding against the servant, how could the servant have the opportunity to do so."

"There is no chance, but opportunities can be created." She said softly and lazily, her charming and coquettish smile made everyone lose their minds, and they only heard her say: "You say you have no reason to murder Princess Jin, and my wife will give it to you." For all the reasons."

"My lady remembers that Qiu'er once said that you are the concubine Ming, who gave you to Prince Jin after Princess Jin became pregnant. Yes, it's a pity that Prince Jin has no such intentions at all, and only asks you to serve Princess Jin. You think that Princess Jin is holding a grudge for blocking your way, so you want to get rid of her." After finishing talking, she looked at Qing'er with a half-smile .

I saw Qing'er's face was tense and his body was trembling, but there was no fear in his eyes, and he said cautiously: "These are just the conjectures of the prime minister's wife, and it does not prove that this servant is the original culprit who murdered Princess Jin. I also said that Princess Jin and Qiu'er don't trust the slaves, how could the slaves have the opportunity to put ointment in the beads."

"On the face of it, it does."

Leaning lazily in the chair, she looked at Qing'er with a smile and said: "My wife said that there is no chance, but you can create opportunities."

"Miss Qing'er, do you know where your biggest weakness is?"

"I don't know what the prime minister's wife is talking about?" Qing'er still sees no fear in her eyes, but there are tears in the corners of her eyes, which are about to drip, as if she has been holding back, as if she has been wronged by the world but not Don't dare to say too much.

Boqing admired Qing'er's calmness, but had no choice but to get rid of her, and said with a faint smile: "Do you still remember what made Mrs. Ben notice the beads again on King Jin's birthday?"

Hearing this, Qing'er's eyes showed a flash of panic, and then he hid it, and said with a very humble attitude: "It is true that the slave accidentally broke the princess's Buddhist beads, and the princess also punished the slave, but it is the fault of the slave. , how dare the servants bear hatred for the princess because of this."

"Although you answered irrelevant questions and disturbed people's eyes and ears, but, do you know, your words once again prove the history of your crime."

Looking at the cunning flashing in Qing'er's eyes, Baoqing said with a sarcasm: "It is nothing else that attracted my Madam's attention to the Buddha beads again, but the rope used to thread the Buddha beads, and this is also your biggest flaw."

In Qing'er's eyes, there was finally a hint of panic this time, and he tried to calm down and said: "The ropes worn with Buddhist beads are tens of thousands, what can they prove?"

Boqing habitually pulled out a hairpin and played with it in his hand, raised a smile and said: "Yes, as you said, there are thousands and thousands of ropes worn with Buddhist beads, which really can't prove anything, but the original rope , it can prove that you broke the beads on purpose, not by accident."

Qing'er gritted her teeth in secret, and said with an innocent face: "The servant did not intend to break the princess's Buddhist beads, and the princess can testify to this. Whether the servant is innocent or not, just ask the princess."

Except for Boqing and Boer, everyone's eyes were on Chen Linger one after another. Chen Linger couldn't help looking at Boqing, trying to see something on her face.

The result seemed to disappoint her, as if wearing a mask on her thin face, making it difficult to see what she was thinking.

That cold and flirtatious face was obviously smiling, but it made her hair stand involuntarily. At this moment, she knew that the friendship between them was over.

Zhen Yingjie also looked at Chen Ling'er and said, "Princess Jin, is Qing'er telling the truth?"

Chen Linger hesitated and said, "I am not sure about this princess."

Boqing smiled coldly and said: "Princess Jin doesn't even know what kind of rope is used to wear the Buddhist beads. It seems that Princess Jin often talks about how she misses, worries, and cares about her grandmother. It turns out to be empty words, acting for others. Just watch."

Hearing this, Chen Ling'er couldn't help but smiled wryly. She really missed her grandmother very much, but she didn't notice the rope, and said softly: "I also heard that the prime minister's wife told me one or two."

Boqing raised one eyebrow, and said with a half-smile: "This string of Buddhist beads has been worn by Mrs. Ben for more than half a year. If Mrs. Ben remembers correctly, it turns out that the string of Buddhist beads should be made of a purple skein and gold thread." Thin rope. Since this string of Buddhist beads was originally owned by the Empress Dowager Fengchao, it is natural not to use ordinary skein yarn, but ice skein yarn obtained from the sea for the royal family. I don’t need to explain the characteristics of the ice skein yarn.”

Qing'er's complexion changed slightly, and Xiao Jinyan said indifferently: "The biggest feature of the ice skein yarn is that it is very hard, but it is very tough. If it is not a sharp tool for cutting iron like mud, it must not be broken."

Boqing said coldly: "Qing'er, you said you accidentally cut it off, so you are lying."

Seeing Qing'er's complexion gradually turning pale, she said with a smile: "This is why my wife doubts you. If the rope of the Buddhist beads is broken, it is natural to replace it with a new one. Because of the identity of the princess and the rareness of the Buddhist beads, naturally you can't do it casually." If you change one to deal with it, you will naturally have to send it to the palace for repair. As long as you let the Buddhist beads out of Prince Jin's Mansion, someone will naturally complete the rest for you."

"As the princess said, the rope is so hard to break, how can a weak woman, a servant, break the rope without knowing it." Qing'er tried to calm down the trembling and fear in her heart, and tried her best to defend herself.

"Weak woman? Hehe!" She laughed softly and sarcastically, and said lightly: "Who doesn't know that in Qiongzhou City, Lan Qingyun, the daughter of the governor Lan Duo, is both civil and military. If you say you are a weak woman, who will believe you?"

"You investigated me." Qing'er suddenly said coldly, and Baoqing just smiled lightly, which was regarded as an answer.

Zhen Yingjie's complexion darkened, and he didn't expect that a little court lady also harbored the intention of causing trouble, and said coldly: "Qing'er, do you know that murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime for killing even the nine clans, not only your family will be punished The culprit, even my relatives are no exception."

"what?"

Qing'er cried out, and kowtowed fiercely to Zhen Yingjie: "No, this servant has never thought of harming the princess, let alone becoming a princess. The servant has been with the concubine Ming for many years. The concubine's trust in the servant, as well as the identity and background of the slave, just ask the concubine to marry her, so there is no need to do this."

"Because the target of your murder is not Princess Jin, but my wife, and Princess Jin is just a pawn in this conspiracy." The flinty words immediately shocked everyone, and Qing'er fell limp all of a sudden. On the ground, his complexion paled instantly.

The ruthless gaze moved away from the blue body, and there was a touch of coldness on the lips: "If it weren't for this string of Buddhist beads, the Queen Mother would have given it to my wife first, and my wife would have given it to Princess Jin. When the imperial doctor found that the problem was with the beads, Madam With this as an excuse to buy time, Imperial Physician Xu had the opportunity to feel the pulse of my wife, and thus discovered the secret inside the Buddhist beads."

"If it weren't for this, my wife would definitely be convicted of murdering the emperor's heir. Just as Master Zhen said, murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime that punishes even the nine clans. Not only my wife will die, but even my wife's husband, the prime minister, is no exception. It kills two birds with one stone, although your layout is not precise enough, but my wife admires your courage." Boqing stared at Qing'er coldly.

Qing'er was really scared this time, but she didn't expect Bo Qing to be so thoughtful that she could see her tricks, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "The servant said that these are just speculations of the prime minister's wife, why did the servant murder the prime minister's wife, and The concubine only brought prayer beads filled with medicine for a few days, why did the tire slip like this?"

She smiled lightly and said: "Now I have to ask Miss Qing'er, why she would rather be a court lady than the emperor's concubine in the talent show." As soon as these words came out, Qing'er immediately felt suffocated.
