Doting the evil king and foolish concubine

Chapter 38
The second aunt looked at the backer king suspiciously, her heart was disturbed, and her eyes showed a hint of timidity.

But then she seemed to be full of confidence and straightened her waist arrogantly.

After a while, Qi's mother ran over quickly, knelt down, "My lord, did you call me here for something?"

"Qi Ma, how many years have you been serving in the backer's palace?" Xue Shu looked at her with frost on her face and asked coldly.

Seeing Miss Fifth suddenly asking a question sharply, Qi's mother was startled, obviously very surprised.She glanced unnaturally at Second Aunt before turning her head to look at Xue Shu, with disdain flashing in her eyes, "Returning to Fifth Miss, I have been serving in the backer's palace for 15 years."

"Oh, it turns out that Mama Qi is an old man in the house, Mama Qi has always been in charge of the kitchen, right?" Then, Xueshu squinted her eyes and asked again.

Qi's mother couldn't figure out what Xueshu wanted to ask, but she seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and she said proudly, "I am fortunate to have the trust of the second wife who has been in charge of the kitchen affairs, and there has never been a single mistake in the past 15 years."

"There hasn't been a single mistake in 15 years, but today it poisoned several people, Qi's mother is really good at it!" Xue Shu said sarcastically.

When Qi's mother heard this, she suddenly raised her head high-spiritedly, her tone was very strong, "Miss Fifth slandered, today's food is made by the princess herself, what has it to do with me? I didn't even enter the kitchen..." She was obviously very dissatisfied.

Xueshu sneered, "Then let me ask you, is the dish you made today a list?"

"It's the list made by the old man, but I have also obtained the consent of the princess. The princess has no objection." Qi's mother is still very arrogant, supported by the second wife. The words came with a certain momentum.

Xue Shu snorted coldly, "Then let me ask you again, did you arrange the dishes for today's banquet yourself?" Xue Shu's eyes were aggressive, and her downturned eyebrows stared at Qi's mother coldly, which suddenly made Qi's mother's heart tremble. Panic, his tone froze for a moment.He couldn't help but sneak another glance at the second lady, and then said softly, "It's the old man who personally arranged it." This is a bit false, and it completely loses the confidence to be tough just now.

"It's good for Mama Qi to admit it." Xueshu smiled coldly, then looked at Imperial Physician Yan, "Physician Yan, Xueshu would like to ask you a few questions."

Physician Yan said calmly while treating everyone, "Don't dare, just ask the princess if you have any questions! This old man knows everything." His tone was inexplicably respectful, but Xue Shu was taken aback.

Then she smiled lightly, "Excuse me, Imperial Physician Yan, what symptoms will occur if soft-shelled turtles and celery are eaten together?" As soon as Xue Shu said this, the second lady turned her eyes to look at her, her face full of surprise.Then she lowered her head in deep thought, visibly flustered.When Qi's mother heard the words, her body shook even more, her head drooping lower and lower.

Imperial Physician Yan couldn't help laughing, with admiration in his eyes, but he didn't look at Xue Shu, but said lightly, "Turtle and celery will cause abdominal pain in mild cases, and life-threatening in severe cases. However, you can use olive juice Solve it." Saying so, Imperial Physician Yan poured down a bowl of olive juice for the crown prince.

The prince's eyes widened all of a sudden.

Other aunts, sisters and brothers-in-law also stared thoughtfully at the dishes on their table.

"Yes, it seems that there are only soft-shelled turtles and celery in the crown prince's dishes! I really don't know who served the dishes for His Highness the crown prince just now. It's obvious that he has no good intentions!" Xue Shu said meaningfully in a long voice.

How could the prince not understand at this moment?He glared angrily at the fourth sister who was supporting him, and suddenly kicked her, "Get out, it turns out that you are the ones who are plotting against me..."

The fourth sister fell to the ground all of a sudden, then she got up and knelt down and said anxiously to the prince, "Your Highness, don't just listen to people's words. How could my mother and I harm you? We don't even know...it's all Yan Xueshu is slandering us with her spitting blood!" As she spoke, the fourth sister glared at Xueshu angrily, "Today's dishes are made by her mother herself, and the noodles on the table are prepared by Qi's mother. My mother and I don't know it at all. It's a conspiracy, it's the concubine and Qi's mother conspiring to assassinate His Highness, my mother and I are innocent!" She pushed herself and Second Aunt completely away.

Xueshu sneered.

But the prince snorted coldly and was obviously unmoved.

And Qi's mother stared at her in disbelief when she heard the fourth sister yelling that she was conspiring with the princess, as if she had been betrayed on the spot, she lowered her head with a dead face.And all of this was seen by Xueshu, it was already very clear, Qi's mother always followed the second aunt's lead, and today's matter was obviously calculated by them, and the second aunt's method was really clever, if only every dish was no different, However, if they are mixed skillfully and eaten together, it will produce a huge poison. The dishes in front of several aunts, sisters and brothers-in-law are all mixed and mixed to become poisonous, while the dishes in front of the father and mother are not harmed. They did this obviously to blame the mother. , wanting to use the prince's hand to get rid of mother, what a vicious heart!
Xue Shu's teeth were cold, and her eyes were shining fiercely. Today, she will never let Second Aunt and Fourth Sister go easily.

"Mom Qi, are you convicted?" Suddenly, Xue Shu's cold aura came out, with killing intent.

Ji Wuye glanced at her with bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Qi's mother trembled, gritted her teeth and obviously wanted to deny it, "Old, I don't know what kind of crime Miss Wu said?" But her trembling voice clearly revealed the panic in her heart.

"Who instigated you today? You have to tell the truth, otherwise..." Xueshu's cold breath enveloped Qi's mother, making no one doubt that she would slap her to death. But with martial arts.

"I..." Qi's mother suddenly lost her mind, huddled in cold sweat, and hesitated in fear, at a loss for what to do.However, she secretly glanced at the second lady again. Seeing her glare and meaning, Qi's mother closed her eyes in despair, and her body collapsed to the ground.She understood that the second lady wanted her to bear it alone, and she was abandoned.

"The intention is to murder the royal family, but to destroy the nine clans." Ji Wuye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said this.

Xueshu's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly continued, "Yes, Mama Qi, it seems like you just added a little grandson last month, what a pity! That little guy will also be beheaded."

As soon as the words were finished, the two couldn't help being startled, then looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, the two have a slight understanding.

Qi's mother turned pale all of a sudden, and immediately waved her hands crazily, "No, no, it's not me, it's not me, how could I murder the master and the prince because I have been loyal to the palace for more than ten years, it's all..."

"It turns out that you, an old man, wanted to murder the prince. You really deserve to die..." Before Mama Qi finished speaking, the second wife rushed over and slapped Mama Qi in the face with a rage, and Mama Qi wailed suddenly A mouthful of blood also interrupted what she was about to say.

Xue Shu looked at this scene coldly, there was no need to doubt it anymore, no one in this manor knew that Mama Qi belonged to the second aunt, and no matter what she did at this moment, she was trying to cover it up.
