Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 104 Who is so bold?

The Qin family looked at Shen Ninghua resentfully: "Princess Zhaohua, isn't what Tao Hong said true? You actually laughed out loud when you heard this. Could it be that in your heart, the death of the second princess is so worthy of joy?"

Shen Ninghua slightly restrained the smile on her face, and her black eyes were filled with a penetrating light: "Mrs. Qin, I am laughing because what you said is so funny! You trust this maid Tao Hong so much, and she is the second princess's dowry maid , I think it should be extremely sincere, right?"

"That's natural!"

"Since this is the case, I don't understand. She just said that she was hiding in the cabinet, and she was frightened when she saw me drugging the second princess. She didn't know how to stop it. Why? Changed other maids. Just come out and work hard?"

Tao Hong paused, her face stiffened immediately: "I was so frightened at the time, I didn't know how to react."

"Oh? Since you've been scared to death, how can you remember what happened so clearly?" Shen Ninghua looked at her coldly.

Tao Hong unconsciously turned her eyes away, not daring to look at Shen Ninghua: "These are me... I recalled them afterwards. I only realized that all of this was your conspiracy when I learned that the second concubine passed away!"

Shen Ninghua raised the corners of her lips coldly: "You think about it after the fact, that is to say, it's all up to you to tell the truth?"

"No, it's not." Tao Hong looked up at Mrs. Qin, her expression becoming more and more panicked, "Madam, this servant has been serving the second prince and concubine personally, and she is even more loyal to her and dare not have the slightest disobedience. The sentence is true, please believe the old lady."

The Qin family stared at Shen Ninghua with hatred, and gritted her teeth: "Of course I believe you, Princess Zhaohua, the second concubine has never had any friendship with you, but she stayed alone with you for half an hour before she died. And you are proficient in medical skills, if you want to harm her, it is easy, and, as far as I know, you still have a lot of poison on you right now?"

Shen Ninghua's eyes moved suddenly, and the golden step on her head flashed a cold light: "Madam Qin, this joke is not funny at all, not to mention in Chengqian Palace, even in the imperial palace, no medicine is allowed on your body. I don't have the guts."

Qin's face was full of sneers, and her tone was very affirmative: "Your Majesty, this slave girl sued Shen Ninghua for bringing medicine into the palace without permission to plot wrongdoing, and also used poison to murder the second prince and concubine. Your majesty, please investigate clearly, and give the second prince and concubine justice."

Baili Jinchuan glanced at Qin's indifferently, then turned to look at Shen Ninghua: "Ninghua, what do you have to say?"

Shen Ninghua took two steps forward and knelt on the ground: "Father, Mrs. Qin is purely a false accusation, and my son and minister are innocent. They didn't murder the second prince and concubine, and they didn't hide poison on their bodies."

Qin sneered: "Since Princess Zhaohua is so sure, do you dare to ask someone to check?"

Shen Ninghua looked back at her: "Mrs. Qin, since you know that I am the princess, how dare you say such a thing?"

"Isn't the princess afraid?"

"Why don't I have a clear conscience! It's just that searching my body is not something you can do if you say you want to. If you can't find anything, will you bear the consequences?"

"Okay, I will bear the responsibility. If there is nothing wrong with hiding the poison on your body, I will personally kneel down and confess to you, and I will give you ten thousand taels of gold as compensation!"

"Yes!" Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at Baili Qingcang, "Father, you heard this too, please be a witness for Mrs. Qin and me, and please send a female medical officer to examine your daughter."

Baili Jinchuan was kneeling down at the side, but when Shen Ninghua agreed to the body search, he immediately frowned and looked at her, clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists, and felt a surge of anger rising in his heart. She was so proud that she wanted to being frisked...

Shen Ninghua herself didn't care. After the female medical officer arrived, she got up and walked aside, allowing her to examine her openly.

Qin stared at the female medical officer's movements without blinking, wishing she could step forward to help with the examination.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone quietly waited for the medical officer's return.

It took a quarter of an hour to finish the inspection: "Report to the emperor, Princess Zhaohua is clean and free of any poison."

Tao Hong's body softened suddenly, her face turned pale in despair, Shen Ninghua's body was actually clean?

Qin's eyes widened: "How is this possible?"

The female medical officer's movements were very careful, Shen Ninghua just straightened her sleeves a little and stood there: "Mrs. Qin, you seem to be sure that I have poison on me, why?"

Qin Shi choked up, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he didn't know how to answer?

Shen Ninghua continued: "I've been wondering since just now, that maid Tao Hong should also know that I'm proficient in medical skills, why did I feed the second prince and concubine poison instead of an antidote to heal her body? Madam Qin was even more surprised, He insisted that I hid the poison on my body and brought the poison into the palace, which makes people suspect that Mrs. Qin has tampered with me?"

"I didn't!" Qin shi knelt down in front of Baili Qingcang with a common voice, "Your Majesty, this servant did not make a false accusation..."

Bailiqing's eyes were dark, and when he heard this, he said coldly: "You didn't make a false accusation, then Ninghua should be able to search for poison, but the fact is just the opposite."

Qin held her breath in her chest. She already knew that the second concubine's health was failing, and she also knew that her time limit was approaching. Originally, she didn't want to frame Shen Ninghua, but when her daughter begged her, how could she cruelly refuse? She, Shen Ninghua, always carries poison on her body, why doesn't she have it?

Shen Ninghua glanced at Qin with an ugly face, her eyes were full of coldness: "Mrs. Qin, after all, you are the biological mother of the second concubine, and you can also be regarded as my elder. You don't need to kneel down to apologize. Please find time to send Jin Wanliang to you." In my house."

Qin Shi clutched her chest, her eyes turned black, her palms were pinched, but she couldn't refute, her expression instantly became slumped.

However, Shen Ninghua did not intend to let her go: "Also, I also found someone, and Mrs. Qin should know her too. Father, please allow Ninghua to bring the witness." Since these people dare to frame her, they must bear the responsibility. as a result of!

"allow!"

A young man in a blue bunt costume was pushed into the hall, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kept kowtowing to Baili Qingcang: "I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor."

Hearing the young man's voice, Tao Hong turned her head abruptly, and after seeing his face clearly, she was so frightened that she was so frightened that she could hardly kneel on the ground.

Baili Qingcang asked Shen Ninghua: "Who is this person?"

"Father, this man is the son of the steward of the second prince's mansion, and he has had an affair with Taohong for a long time. If the two of them had made it clear, the second prince might not object. After all, Taohong followed her so much. For many years, but Tao Hong concealed it until she was bumped into by the second princess. Therefore, she felt resentful, secretly drugged the second princess, and even stuffed sedges in the pillow used by the second princess."

"No, no maidservant, no maidservant..." Taohong kept crying, with tears all over her face.

Shen Ninghua snorted coldly: "You still don't admit it until now, the second concubine has always been served by you personally, she likes to put flower petals that bloomed in the sun in the pillow, and you cleaned them up, you are not fake at all for filling the petals recently It was done by someone else, and it was done by myself. Moreover, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in Kyoto saw the housekeeper’s son buying sedge many times. Who did he buy the sedge for? Don’t you have to wait for me to call the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in Kyoto? Come to confront you?"

Taohong couldn't help clutching her belly, her eyes were full of despair: "Your servant...you are guilty...Princess Princess, I'm sorry for you." Unable to bear the repeated questioning, Taohong was about to collapse, covering her face and crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, this servant will not hesitate to die, but I beg the emperor to bypass the child in the womb of the servant. The servant is pregnant and it has been two months. I beg the emperor to bypass the child of the servant."

Qin was stunned and couldn't come back to her senses. She knew that her daughter's body was dilapidated, but she didn't know that Tao Hong, her close servant, was pushing her: "You...you cheap maid!"

Qin slapped Tao Hong's face with a slap, and directly hit her on the ground, growling and angrily said:
"The concubine is your master, how dare you do something to murder the master? What is wrong with my Zhou family? Why did the concubine treat you so harshly, and let you do such a rebellious thing?"

Tao Hong suddenly raised her head, her face was full of resentment: "It's Zhou's right for me to do this! She knew that I was pregnant, and she wanted to steal my child and treat it as her own. If I hadn't given her the medicine, she would have announced that she was pregnant, and when my child was born, she would have taken it away as the second prince's heir! How could I do such a thing?"

"Shut up, how could the princess of the county do such a thing?" Qin's voice was hoarse, and her whole body was like falling into a cellar of ice. What would this lowly servant girl say?
Tao Hong knew that she was going to die today, and she only wanted to win a chance for the child in her stomach, so she didn't hide anything, and revealed everything: "Your Majesty, the words of this servant are true, and the second concubine has made a lot of preparations in advance. If you don't believe me, you can interrogate Imperial Physician Li, he is specialized in taking the pulse of the second concubine, and the second concubine bought him in advance to make false pulse records for her future fake pregnancy, you can find out by asking!"

"You..." Qin Shi almost fainted. She originally wanted to help her daughter fulfill her last wish and bring down Shen Ninghua, but she never expected that her daughter would be ruined in the end, and once Tao Hong's words were confirmed, the entire Zhou family would be completely ruined. That's a serious crime of confusing the blood of the royal family, and it will implicate the whole family!

Baili Jinchuan frowned suddenly: Mrs. Zhou already has a son and a daughter, why would she steal the dragon and turn it into a phoenix?

Baili Qingcang obviously also thought of this: "Mr. Zhou already has children, why do you want to do this?"

Tao Hong laughed: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing will only happen once for the first time, and those two children may not be from whose family!"

"Presumptuous!" Baili Qingcang stood up abruptly, and slapped the table with a bang, confusing the royal family's blood. The Zhou family is so courageous!
Baili Jinchuan was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes were red, and his eyes were burning with anger. His heirs were weak, and he regarded Zhou's sons and daughters as treasures, but now someone told him that he loved them for several years. The child was not his child, but a bastard from nowhere!
