Red makeup against the world

Chapter 958 Heartbroken
Yao Zhiyue intended to get Yao Shangshu's attention, but Yao Shangshu finished speaking in a calm manner without even looking at her.

Seeing Xu Wanzhen nodded slightly, Wu Zhengxiang got up and walked towards the bowl of pearl snow fungus soup that was placed on the table in the room as evidence.The small half of the soup had already cooled down, and the poison contained in the glutinous rice pearl balls gradually released, dyeing the soup purple-black.

He picked up the soup, handed it to Yao Shangshu and said, "Leave the whole body."

The crown prince hadn't spoken yet, so Wu Zhengxiang went a little too far in doing so.But Xu Wan is really a sufferer and has the power to deal with the murderer.

"Okay, let's do it like this." The prince approved Wu Zhengxiang's approach.

With this result, it can be said that everyone except the princess is happy.She took such pains to set up such a big game, but she was slipped away by Yao Fangfei, a big fish, and she caught Yao Zhiyue, a small shrimp, to take the blame.

Yao Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief, the Wu family did not pursue it, and Yao's side concubine's status was preserved.

For Xu Wanzhen, Yao Zhiyue's uncertain bomb, death is naturally better than life.

As far as the crown prince is concerned, it is most cost-effective for Yao Zhiyue to risk his life while preserving the relationship between the Wu family and the Yao family.

The happiest thing is none other than Concubine Yao.She was plotting the position of the crown princess, but she was able to pass the test calmly after the incident happened.Fortunately, there was an idiot like Yao Zhiyue, otherwise she would not know how to get rid of the crime.

Concubine Yao's face was mournful, and she knelt down to plead for mercy: "Although Du Juan betrayed me, she has always had some affection with me these years. I beg Your Highness to let me have a few words with her alone."

No matter who instigates it, Du Juan's poisoning is a capital offense.

The crown prince nodded, this plea from Concubine Yao was not too much.

With trembling hands, Du Juan looked at Concubine Yao with tears in her eyes and said, "It's the servant girl's fault."

Feeling sad, Bi Lu helped her up and followed Concubine Yao out.Jasmine stood up silently, and followed a few people out.

The princess took a sip of tea, hiding the smile on her lips.At least, the matter is not for nothing.

She ordered someone to secretly catch the Bauhinia, causing Concubine Yao to transfer her suspicions to her, thus allowing Jasmine to gain her trust.

As the royal daughter-in-law, the Crown Princess knew that Emperor Qinglong's time was numbered.Cut off one of her arms at this time, and bury Jasmine's dark chess piece even deeper.

After entering the palace, at the current age of the crown prince, at least there will be a few general elections for the best girls, and any situation may arise at that time.If possible, of course it would be best to cut off Yao's side concubine first.

But the current result is not bad, although the crown prince spared Concubine Yao for Yao Shangshu's sake, and let Yao Zhiyue take the blame.However, this does not mean that the prince has no doubts.

Perhaps, before the day when she enters the palace, as long as Shi Jingfu enters the palace, Yao's side concubine's favor will become thinner day by day.

Concubine Yao brought a few maidservants into the side room, and the wives sent by the Crown Princess guarded the door.The prince allowed them to say goodbye, but it didn't mean they were free.

"Du Juan, it's all my fault." Concubine Yao's voice was very soft, tears dripping from her eyes, and she hugged Du Juan in her arms and wept.

Bi Lu also secretly wiped her tears, blaming herself in her heart for suspecting her master when she was in the yard just now.The master was also driven to a dead end, so where else could he think of?

"Miss, I have no regrets, please take care of my parents for me." Du Juan is the son of the Yao family, and his parents are still in the Yao family.It's just that her father is old and sick, and only depends on her mother's monthly money, and she also subsidizes some from time to time.

She has done a lot of things for Concubine Yao, but today she failed, she knew that the death penalty was inevitable, and the only thing she cared about was her parents at home.

Concubine Yao nodded repeatedly, and said: "I just want to talk to you about this matter. Don't worry, I will take care of your parents in the future." How much money it costs to raise a pair of servants, but it can make other maids allegiance.

Du Juan's wish was fulfilled, she felt relieved, her eyes were firm, and she said: "Your Majesty, you are going out soon." She is a guilty person, and Concubine Yao has stayed here for a long time, so it is not suitable for her.

Concubine Yao stood up reluctantly, crying, "I'm leaving, you..."

Bi Lu and Jasmine stepped forward to support Concubine Yao, Bi Lu persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let's go."

Concubine Yao hid her face and left, and the woman who was standing outside walked in with a hemp rope in her hand.Not long after, there was only a muffled sound inside, and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

The footsteps of several people paused, knowing that Du Juan was no longer there.

Concubine Yao covered her mouth, her heart was sore, tears poured out uncontrollably.If there was a bit of drama just now, but at this moment, she felt sad from the bottom of her heart.

Du Juan is her most trusted confidant maid, she is thoughtful and decisive in her actions.Since she was still in her boudoir, Du Juan has been advising her and helping her find this marriage with the side concubine of Qi Wang, which made her what she is today.

But this is the Prince's Mansion, no matter how painful her heart is, she can't cry aloud, she can only force herself to endure it.

……

In front of the Chuihua Gate, the crown prince and princess concubine personally sent Wu Zhengxiang and Xu Wanzhen out, and Yao Shangshu escorted Yao Zhiyue to follow.

"I invited you to a banquet, but I didn't expect Madam Ling to be frightened by this." The crown prince apologized, and his tone was sincere, "It's really lonely." In order to maintain the relationship with the Yao family, he did not pursue it to the end, but agreed I got the testimony from Concubine Yao.

If you really want to look into it, then Du Juan is Yao's side concubine's maid, and strictly speaking, whether she can be trusted is a question mark.

Who is Wu Zhengxiang?Xiao cavalry commander commander.How could he fail to see such an obvious flaw after solving many serious and iron cases under his hands.

He didn't pursue it, it was because of the prince's face.

Therefore, the prince apologized for this.

Wu Zhengxiang smiled, and said: "Your Highness is too polite to say so. The last general will be ministers of the same court as Yao Shangshu, and he will see you when you look up."

He is a general, and Yao Shangshu is the Minister of the Ministry of War.Although it does not directly govern Xiaoqiwei, there will always be some intersections.

However, the prince knew in his heart that with Wu Zhengxiang's character, saying this was just to make himself feel less guilty.

He patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said with a loud smile: "It's free some other day, find a place to have a good drink." Naturally, Wu Zhengxiang didn't mention it.

Xu Wanzhen also said goodbye to the Crown Princess, and got into the carriage first.

The night was dark, and it was less than half an hour before the door of the workshop was closed.The streets in winter are not as lively as in summer, occasionally only two drunk men staggered along.

The carriage was kicking and stomping on the bluestone-paved street, and the sound echoed in the empty street, making it seem a little lonely and deserted.

Wu Zhengxiang didn't ride a horse. He was holding Xu Wanzhen's hand in the carriage, and was about to say something when he heard the sound of "De De De" from behind. It was obvious that someone was chasing him on horseback.

The guards accompanying the carriage reined in the horses and looked warily at the person coming.

Yao Shangshu cupped his hands and said, "Lord Wu, please stop for a while and listen to me."
