Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 80 Perilla
A sneer flashed across the corner of Ling Xihan's mouth, "Didn't Aunt Zi still beg for mercy for Aunt Lan just now? Why does it seem like she wants Aunt Lan to be convicted now?" She seemed to speak lightly, but King Zhongyi's eyes darkened. Even darker.The concubine also opened her eyes, with an imperceptible smile flashing across her eyes, and continued to fiddle with the prayer beads.Aunt Lan looked at Zisu with a cold gaze like a poisonous snake.

Zisu's face turned pale, and there was a trace of panic in her eyes, but her expression became even more aggrieved.

"Miss San, what are you talking about? You said that this purse was poisoned just now. Just now Zhilan and Zhixia also said that the poison was poisoned by Aunt Lan..." Aunt Lan must die this time, she absolutely cannot Let go of this opportunity.Thinking of this, Zisu lowered her eyelids, and said in a low voice, "I have no grievances with Sister Lan, why should I target her?" As she spoke, she began to wipe her tears with a handkerchief again.This time, King Zhongyi did not comfort her, but his eyes were a little complicated.

Although he ignored the fight between women, it didn't mean he was stupid.After living for decades, what kind of conspiracy method has not been seen?He is not completely unaware of the petty fights among the women in the palace.It's just that he never paid attention to it.But a few women, he doesn't care at all.He dotes on Zisu only because she resembles the woman he loves.In addition, Zisu had saved him with her life.So he preconceived that Zisu is a good woman, but just now, he hesitated...

Seeing the hesitation in King Zhongyi's eyes, Ling Xihan sneered silently.

"I didn't say that Aunt Zi was targeting Aunt Lan. You are so eager to defend yourself. Could it be that the musk in this purse is really related to you?"

Zisu opened her eyes wide, looking at Ling Xihan in disbelief.That's not what she said when she went to see Ling Xihan that day.Ling Xihan clearly agreed to her, and together with her pulled Aunt Lan down from the stage, why now...

In fact, Ling Xihan didn't explicitly promise anything to Zisu that day, but just accepted the purse. Zisu thought that Ling Xihan chose to cooperate with her because he was smart.

"Miss San, you?"

"What's wrong with me?" Ling Xihan squinted at her lazily, "I was the one who was almost poisoned, so naturally I should pay special attention to it so that I won't get hurt again in the future, right?" She squinted her eyes slightly, her tone indifferent and calm. "Aren't Aunt Zi also the first to be the object of suspicion just now? Since you can be threatened so much that you can keep silent and not exonerate yourself even when you are framed. Then why can't Aunt Lan? Maybe the person who threatened her is more serious. Great, the backstage is even bigger."

King Zhongyi's eyes flickered when he heard this, his expression was cold, and he glanced at the unmoving princess, a dark current flashed in his eyes.Then he said lightly: "Okay, let's stop this matter." He glanced around the hall indifferently and majesticly, and said calmly but with pressure: "Aunt Lan murdered the third lady, and the third lady is kind and innocent." and pursuit. But the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped. He was dragged out and beaten fifty slabs, and taken to the ancestral hall to reflect."

The princess narrowed her eyes and said nothing.Everyone in the hall was stunned. Aunt Lan was let off so easily?

Zisu was a little anxious, and called softly.

"My lord?"

King Zhongyi suddenly stared sideways at her, his eyes were dark and deep, which made Zisu flustered inexplicably.Then I heard King Zhongyi's ruthless and irrefutable voice.

"Aunt Zi is suspected of being an accomplice. Starting from today, she will be banned for three months. She is not allowed to step out of the room without my king's order."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was astonished, and then gloated.But Zisu's face was pale, "My lord?" Tears were gradually brewing in her eyes, trying to impress King Zhongyi with pity, which worked very well in the past.As long as she cries, King Zhongyi will immediately come to comfort her.But now King Zhongyi has become suspicious of her, seeing her tears, not only does not feel distressed at all, but a little more disgusted.

"Okay, let's go." He turned his gaze to Grand Physician Jia again, and said, "Please trouble Physician Jia to treat the little girl during this time, what happened today made Grand Physician Jia laugh."

Imperial Physician Jia just smiled, "My lord, you are welcome. Since Miss Fifth is fine, I will go back to the palace and take my leave. Let me take my leave."

"Yes." King Zhongyi nodded, "Come here, send the imperial physician out."

Immediately, a servant came to lead Jia Taiyi out of the house, and those women saw that there was no good show to watch, so they left one by one.Zi Su fell limply on the ground, her face was pale, her eyes were empty, she still didn't understand how she fell out of favor.

King Zhongyi didn't look sideways when he walked away from her, he didn't even glance at her, as if Zisu was a stranger.

Ling Xihan stared, only she knew that King Zhongyi's actions were obviously protecting the princess.She also observed and understood just now that her father is not the foolish person she used to think, but shrewd.It's just that she didn't understand that the father had already guessed that the princess was behind the incident, so why did he still favor the princess?

If the empress is right, her mother's death is related to the princess, then father and king shouldn't be helping the princess.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the concubine being helped out by the servant girl, and when she passed by her, she paused slightly.

"You are very smart." After saying these words, the princess floated away, leaving Ling Xihan looking at her back, thinking indifferently.

The faint fragrance around her wafted into the tip of her nose, Ling Xihan looked back and saw a calm and calm smile on Ling Xizhen's face.

"Three sisters."

"Is Eighth Sister looking for something?"

Ling Xizhen smiled lightly, "My younger sister just wants to ask my third sister a question, and I hope my sister will not hesitate to enlighten me."

Ling Xihan raised his eyebrows, "Eighth Sister, you are welcome."

Ling Xizhen lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, "Is there an antidote for this sterilizing medicine? For example, if you are bitten by a seven step snake, you will be fine as long as you take the antidote?"

Ling Xihan squinted his eyes, his eyes were dark and deep, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

"These medicines are used to harm people. Eighth sister should not mention them in the future. Today's incident really makes my sister and I have lingering fears. If the purse is really worn on me, then my life will be ruined." She smiled slightly, "Eighth Sister never likes to meddle in other people's business, what's the matter today?"

Seemingly not hearing what Ling Xihan meant, Ling Xizhen still smiled lightly.

"My younger sister has always known that the third sister is smart, but she didn't want to and almost fell into the way of a villain. It really made my sister tremble. But fortunately, it was a false alarm. My sister must be careful in the future, and she must not be careless." She was concerned. Said.

Ling Xihan also smiled gently, but there was an imperceptible coldness in those eyes.

"Thank you Bamei for your concern, I will be careful."

"Then sister, don't worry." Ling Xizhen nodded and led the maid out.
