Chapter 56 The Queen's Arrival
Seeing that Zhu Zixin was still trying to quibble at this time, Zhu Jing became even more angry, and said angrily.

"Daddy only listens to one side of the story, so it is inevitable that he is biased. Since you are sure that Zixin poisoned you, then let me ask Daddy, where did I get the poison and how did it get into the tea? If you can't tell So come here, Zixin refuses to accept it!"

Zhu Zixin stood straight, and his words hit the nail on the head. He was stunned by Zhu Jing's words, and after a while he said: "You are cooperating with King Ji, so you still have to tell me the origin of the poison?"

"Hmph, what Daddy said is right. The King of Ji deliberately asked me to poison the second sister, and then used the antidote hypocritically. This is indeed a seamless and good strategy. Why didn't he let me put the poison in Sanmei's tea? In this Marquis Mansion, no one knows, no one knows, you love Sanmei the most, poisoning her is not a weight to negotiate with you. Big? Besides, the third sister is very close to me, so I have more chances to drug her than the second sister, but why should I go far? Does Daddy think I'm really that stupid?"

After saying this, Zhu Zixin raised his chin, waiting for Zhu Jing's answer.

Sure enough, Zhu Jing fell silent after hearing her words.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the hall: "Because you have always hated our mother and daughter, and you hate Ziqi the most. She is better than you in everything, and you are afraid that she will take away everything that belongs to you. Including the master's love, Zhu Zixin, I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"

It was Second Aunt's voice, and it sounded particularly ear-piercing in the silent hall.

"Come on, don't do it yet!"

As soon as the second aunt's words fell, Zhu Jing said, after hearing Zhu Ziqi's words just now, he thought what she said was reasonable, so he hesitated a little, but what the second aunt said, he immediately felt that she was going to kill Zhu Ziqi The motive, so the little doubt in my heart disappeared in an instant.

Seeing that the master gave another order, the two big men hurried over.

At this time, Zhu Ziyi knelt on the ground with a "plop" and begged for Zhu Zixin's mercy: "Father, I beg you, don't tie up my sister. I believe this matter must have nothing to do with her, please let her go." .”

"Hmph, let her go? A person who is going to poison his own sister to death, you actually pleaded for her. Since you said you believed her, then you show evidence?"

Zhu Jing's anger grew even stronger, he never expected that Zhu Ziyi would dare to intercede for that wicked girl.

"Father, I don't have any evidence yet, but my boy believes that Zixin is not that kind of person, can you please give me a few days, my boy, I will definitely get the evidence."

Zhu Ziyi said stubbornly.

"Time? No matter how much time is given, no evidence can be found, because the murderer is this evil girl."

Zhu Jing pointed at Zhu Zixin angrily, and after finishing speaking, he ordered the two servants: "Don't do it yet?"

Hearing this, the young servant took the rope and went forward, and tied Zhu Zixin up.

Zhu Zixin didn't struggle, because she knew that she didn't need to struggle at this moment, she just had to wait for that important person to come.

"father……"

Seeing that his father didn't listen to him at all, Zhu Ziyi was about to say more, when a notification came from outside the door: "The empress is here."

"The Empress!"

Hearing these four words, Zhu Jing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly straightened his clothes, and hurried to the door, saying: "I'll come back to deal with you after I receive the empress!"

Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, the queen in wine-red palace attire had already arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

Zhu Jing didn't have time to speak, he hastily lifted his clothes, knelt down, and said, "Greetings to the empress, I am late to pick you up, and I hope the empress will forgive me."

Seeing this, the others also knelt down one after another.

"Master Hou is free of courtesy. I came here today to explain something to Lord Hou. I came here abruptly. It is not an exaggeration for those who don't know it. You get up and talk." Then, he said to the crowd, "You all get up too."

Empress Li is very dignified, followed by a group of court ladies and eunuchs. She stands out from the crowd, looking sideways at Zhu Jingdao, with the demeanor of the mother of the country.

"Thank you Queen Empress."

"Thank you Queen Empress."

Everyone thanked En and got up, stood on one side, Zhu Jing bent over, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "I invite the empress to have tea in the main hall."

"No need, I will leave after saying a few words. Master Hou should not be polite."

Unexpectedly, the queen didn't appreciate it, she just said lightly.

"I don't know what instructions the queen empress has."

Zhu Jing had already bent over and asked respectfully.

"I heard that Lord Hou is thoroughly investigating a poisoning case in the mansion, and I suspect that it was done by the eldest lady. I rushed here because I was afraid that you would wrong your own daughter, Lord Hou, just to tell Lord Marquis, the person who poisoned him was someone else, I'm afraid you have wronged the eldest lady. As for the antidote..."

Speaking of this, the queen stopped, and she scanned the crowd, and finally her eyes fell on Zhu Zichan who was standing behind the second aunt.

"I'm afraid I have to ask you, the third lady."

"..."

After the queen finished speaking, everyone including Zhu Zixin was stunned. Even if they wanted to break their heads, they would never think that it was Zhu Zichan. Even though Zhu Zixin knew Zhu Zichan's personality very well, she did not expect that she would The supernatural being able to get the antidote, and gave the antidote to King Ji...

After rolling his eyes a few times, Zhu Zixin finally figured out the reason behind it, and then suddenly realized.

In fact, the reason why she made a condition with the queen was because she was sure that the queen would come to save her, but she did not expect that Zhu Zichan's conspiracy would be exposed.

"This is impossible!"

After being stunned for a moment, Second Auntie was the first to make a sound. At the same time, she embraced Zhu Zichan in front of her, and said: "Empress Empress, you must have made a mistake. If my Chan'er has an antidote, It will definitely be given to her sister immediately, how can someone else be this good person? Besides, she is only a 12-year-old girl, where can she get the antidote?"

"Presumptuous! How can you be so rude in front of the queen?"

After Second Aunt finished speaking, Zhu Jing immediately shouted sharply.

In fact, the reason why he chose to stop Second Aunt at this time was also because this was also a question in his mind.As a subject, he naturally couldn't question the Empress like this, but it would be much better if a woman spoke out.

"It's okay, Miss San is Second Aunt's darling, and it's understandable to love her child. Since Second Aunt wants to know whether this is true or not, then let Ben Gong explain it carefully to everyone."

The queen smiled lightly, and said with a sudden and generous attitude.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head slightly and called out: "Where is the shadow?"

As soon as the words were finished, a masked woman in black fell from a tree in the courtyard, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Ying'er sees the empress."

"Tell me how the third lady of the Hou family got the antidote."

the queen commanded.

"Yes."

Ying'er responded, stood up, and said: "The antidote originally belonged to the servant's house, but because the servant accidentally heard that the second lady of the Hou's mansion planted belladonna poison, she thought of the night magic grass at home, so she took it The medicine was given to the queen. The queen originally wanted to deliver the medicine herself, but she was afraid that Lord Hou would think too much, so she asked the servant to find a way to hand it over to the people in the Hou's mansion. After much deliberation, the servant thinks that the third lady is the best candidate Because the second young lady is her own older sister, she will definitely do her best to save her own older sister, and secondly, it will save the empress so much trouble. Therefore, I sent someone to pretend to be a drug buyer, and from now on The third lady passed by, and the third lady really asked him if he had any medicine for the night demon, and the man gave the night demon to the third lady, and the servant originally thought that this matter was over."

Glancing at the queen, Ying'er continued: "Who would have thought that the antidote would somehow find its way into King Ji's hands, this... slaves will never know."

After Ying'er said this, she backed away.Waiting for the queen's instructions.

"Master Hou, you should understand now, right? As for what will happen next, even Bengong is very puzzled."

"you……"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jing was staring at the person named Ying'er all the time, his eyes were straightened, he raised his hand slightly, and said you.Suddenly.

"Cough cough..."

After looking at Ying'er, and then at Zhu Jing, the queen couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, but since Ying'er didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask, and it seemed that there was something important at this time.

"..."

Hearing the queen's cough, Zhu Jing just came back to his senses. Immediately, he looked at Zhu Zichan, the content in his eyes was very complicated, there were doubts, confusion, bewilderment, disbelief, and more distress!
"Chan'er, what's going on?"

he asks.

"Daddy! Baby...baby..."

The matter was too hasty, and when Zhu Zichan was completely unprepared, he naturally had no way to deal with being exposed by the Queen's people, so he could only stammer.

"Master, why do you force your daughter like this!"

The second aunt hugged Zhu Zichan and said.

"Go away, it's none of your business here."

Zhu Jing said with a cold face.

"Cicada, tell me, what's going on? Daddy wants to hear your explanation."

Zhu Jing still looked at Zhu Zichan with puzzlement in his eyes.

"Father, I..."

With a "plop", Zhu Zichan knelt on the ground, choked up and said: "Daughter... my daughter has no other intentions, but I am afraid that the antidote is fake, so... so I gave it to Dad by the hand of King Ji. My daughter is just afraid. ...fear of being regarded as a murderer..."

With the buffer of Second Aunt and Zhu Jing, Zhu Zichan actually found a suitable reason in such a short period of time. Although what he said was stumbling, it was somewhat believable.

"Is what you said true?"

Zhu Jing asked.Although he still has many doubts in his heart, this daughter is what he loves the most, so he would rather believe that what she said is true.

"Father, this is the end of the matter, and you still believe her nonsense!"

At this moment, Zhu Ziyi couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help retorting.

"Ziyi..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ying'er called out in a low voice, her voice was so small that no one could hear her, but the eyes fixed on Zhu Ziyi couldn't move anymore.
