Chapter 44: interrogation
"Tell me. [Your bear-hearted leopard dare to secretly replace the sweet soup for Miss Gu." In the main tent of the eldest princess, the lights were bright all night, and she sat high on a pear-flower-wood-carved Taishi chair. , with four confidantes standing beside him. On the rug in the center of the tent. Kneeling a little eunuch, it is better to say that he is lying on the ground instead of kneeling.
The dark blue **** uniform behind him had already revealed a dark red water under the light of the candlelight.
The little eunuch's face was pale and his whole body was shaking.
"You're tough." Princess Pinghu smiled coldly, "You shouldn't say anything about it. Is there really no way for Ben Gong to take care of you?"
"Going back to His Highness, everything is because the young self doesn't like that Miss Gu family." The little **** bit her to death and did not let go, and took all the blame on herself.
What a joke, what kind of grievance does one of his little eunuchs have with Gu Yuqi, just one sentence that he doesn't like will change someone's sweet soup. Princess Pinghu didn't know that the minions were so bold now. The reason for this is to say to three-year-old children. He wouldn't believe it.
"Okay, okay, I don't see that you have a backbone." Princess Pinghu laughed angrily. She clapped her hands, and a guard came in from outside the tent, holding a green leather bag in his hand.
The little **** lying on the ground glanced at the burden, but his whole body trembled even more. He struggled to get up, his eyes were red.
"It's good to recognize this burden." Princess Pinghu saw that the little eunuch's reaction was like this, and she settled down, so she said, how can there be something she can't ask... Over the years, although she disdains to use these methods to deal with it Others don't necessarily mean that others are riding on her head, and she will not fight back.
Everyone grew up in the palace since childhood. The means of rectifying people is worse than anyone else's. It just depends on who is willing to pull down that figure to do it.
Perhaps she has been kind for a long time, and the paws of any cat or dog dare to stick under her nose and eat it!
In her tent, she exchanged the sweet soup for Gu Yuqi, wanting to splash dirty water on her, without even looking at where she came from!
When Liang Shi and Gu Yuqi were sent away, Princess Pinghu coaxed Princess Jingcheng again, and asked Yun Yi and Yun Ke to send away the three little girls including the Yunhe County Master, and went back to their tent to investigate. If you really want people to not know, unless you do it yourself, you will find the little **** in the pantry after three or two clicks.
The tea for Gu Yuqi was replaced by him halfway through.
He's just an errand. Where can there be such a precious thing as Ningshenhua, let alone such a large dose. If there was no one behind him, she would not believe that Princess Pinghu was really killed.
Ningshenhua is also a special product of Daqi, and its rarity is no less than Dendrobium candidum. The concubines in the palace who want to use some spices of Ningshenhua must go through the special permission of the Taiyuan Hospital.
Even if this little **** refused to say it, Princess Pinghu still had a way to continue the investigation, but she didn't want to make a big issue. If she went to the imperial hospital to check the status of the application, it would surely alarm the doctor, and the current queen would know. , she knew, and so would His Majesty the Emperor.
Originally it was just an innocuous little gamble. It didn't hurt anyone, but if it really made a big deal, no one's face would look good.
So while Princess Pinghu grabbed the little eunuch, she controlled all his fellow villagers and other people who had come into contact with him.
Sure enough, this little **** was tough, but the people he knew were not tough.
The guard took the green leather bag and walked to Princess Pinghu's side, and whispered it again. Princess Pinghu's eyebrows slightly raised, she took a slow look at her fingers, and then squinted at the little eunuch.
"If you say it now, this palace may also consider giving the contents of this baggage to your parents." Princess Pinghu said lightly, "If you still bite to death and don't say anything, this palace will not be merciful. That's it!" Koujie sneered.
"His Royal Highness... the servant said... the servant said that's all..." The little **** finally couldn't stand the torment in his heart, "I just ask the princess to keep his promise and send the silver in the baggage to the servant's hometown and hand it over to the servant's parents."
Princess Pinghu snorted coldly, "You really dare to negotiate conditions with Ben Gong, well, Ben Gong is in a good mood now, and after answering your matter, you should also know that you can't survive, and the money will be Treat it as your life-saving money. Don’t worry, this palace always does what it says and does it, and since I promised you, I will never break my promise, but if you have a half-truth, don’t blame this palace for going back on it!”
The little **** gritted his teeth, and with a white face, told the whole story.
With only three hundred taels of silver, he could buy off the **** beside him. Princess Pinghu suppressed the anger in her heart while listening.
What a prince concubine, at such a young age, this abacus hit the auntie.
Speaking of which, this little **** is also pitiful. His hometown has been hit by disaster. After the winter, his parents have asked people to bring letters many times, saying that the family can no longer survive. He is an errand eunuch, and the monthly money is poor. The net worth has been sent back to his hometown, but he wrote again a few days ago saying that his mother was ill and needed money for medical treatment. He asked someone to borrow a round of money, but it was not enough for the medical expenses. When it arrived, the Crown Princess started with this little eunuch, and it was a coincidence that she replaced Gu Yuqi's sweet soup.
"Tell the truth, is everything the princess' maid contacted you?" Princess Pinghu asked calmly.
"Yes, it's the maid next to His Highness the Crown Princess who told the servant." The little **** said, his face paled a bit, and he tried his best to make himself kneel, "The servant knows that the mistake made by the servant is already If I can’t live anymore, it doesn’t matter if the servant dies, please ask Her Royal Highness, for the sake of the servant’s filial piety, to send the servant’s money to his hometown and hand it over to the servant’s parents.” After he finished speaking, he respectfully moved towards Princess Pinghu. Knocked his head. "The slave is willing to lead to death."
Princess Pinghu looked at his thin body for a long time, her eyes flickered, her brows stretched slightly, she hooked her fingers to the palace maid by her side, and the palace maid leaned over, and Princess Pinghu whispered a few words to the palace maid, The palace maid understood, took a few steps forward, and picked up the little **** with one hand. The palace maid walked lightly, and she was actually a family member. She carried the little **** directly out of the tent, and no one knew where they went. .
Princess Pinghu said to the guard, "Just make a trip to his hometown."
After the guards clasped their fists and saluted, they also left the camp.
Princess Pinghu then leaned on the back of the Taishi chair and sighed.
She rubbed the slightly swollen eyebrows, this matter would involve the Crown Princess, and she didn't know whether it was the Crown Princess's own intention or the Crown Prince's instigation because she couldn't afford to lose.
After all, it was her fault to find out the root cause. The gambling game she set up on a whim almost killed Gu Yuqi. If something really happened to Gu Yuqi here, I'm afraid she couldn't even wash it clean.
It's also that Gu Yuqi is a lucky person. Imperial Physician Ning just happened to be dragged by her. If she were to switch to another imperial physician, she would be helpless.
It's just that she said she wanted to give Liang's explanation, but now it involves the Prince's Mansion. How can you give this explanation?
Headache!
Princess Pinghu found out about this matter, but she didn't say anything because of the headache. When the prince returned to his tent, the princess had been waiting there for a long time, and she also brought the fragrant tea that the prince liked to drink at the right time.
The news of Gu Yuqi's fainting had already spread throughout the camp, so how could the Crown Princess, who had been caring about the hunting situation, not know about it.
Others only think that Gu Yuqi is a recurrence of the cold, but the Crown Princess knows the real reason. When the prince came back, there was no happy expression on his face, which made the princess, who was in a good mood, also feel uneasy.
"His Royal Highness, is the Miss Gu family all right?" She first tentatively asked.
If Gu Yuqi is really injured, I can't guarantee that Princess Pinghu will investigate the matter. At that time... no, does she want to get rid of that little **** first!
Just when the Crown Princess was thinking about it, the Crown Prince slowly shook his head, "She is poisoned, it's strange, how could she be poisoned by Huang Aunt? But fortunately, Imperial Physician Ning was there and saved her life in time. ."
After hearing this, the Crown Princess felt her whole body stiffened, poisoned? She told people to put a lot of Ningshenhua, but it wouldn't be poisonous. Ningshenhua is not poisonous, but if you eat more, it will make people weak and weak. As long as Gu Yuqi is weak, she can't shoot arrows. Not to mention fighting for the first place, it's even a question of whether or not you can hunt things.
How did you get poisoned?
"Is Concubine Ai uncomfortable?" The prince raised his eyes inadvertently, but found that his wife's face was a little pale, and asked casually.
"No." The princess came back to her senses. She hurriedly lowered her head, covered it up, and smiled, "It's just that I didn't rest at noon."
"Oh." The prince nodded without any doubts, "Concubine Ai should pay attention to her body. It's not as smooth outside as in the mansion."
"Yes. My concubine thanked His Highness for your concern." The Crown Princess felt like fifteen buckets fetching water, she quickly bowed her knees, "His Royal Highness, the concubine has prepared dinner for His Highness, and the concubine will come to see it. If you are optimistic, you will retire first."
"Well. You go." The prince nodded.
The Crown Princess then withdrew, and hurriedly called her confidant, the maid, "Go and find out where the little **** is, if..." She gave the maid a look, and the maid nodded and hurriedly turned and left.
In the middle of the night, the Crown Princess was a little restless. The palace maid had been there for too long, so long that she jumped up in fear.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the palace maid came back with a dismayed face, and spread the news that the little **** had been captured by Princess Pinghu to the Crown Princess's ears.
The crown princess was like a thunderclap, her face turned pale with fright, and she was in a cold sweat for a while. Just when she was walking around in the tent like a blown-up mouse, the prince came in with a curtain.
The prince frowned and was unhappy, but he still asked patiently, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai?"
Only then did the crown princess realize that the prince was already standing in front of her, and she knelt down in fright, "His Royal Highness," she grabbed the hem of the prince's clothes, raised her face, and her face was already covered with tears. staggered. "My concubine did something stupid." After thinking about it, she decided to tell His Royal Highness the matter.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his crown princess crying with pear blossoms and rain, the prince softened his heart, picked up the person, and asked softly, "What happened?"
The princess gritted her teeth and told the prince what she had done.
The more the prince listened, the more ugly his face became, until the prince concubine cried and finished talking, he didn't even know what to say to his wife!
"You are really!!" He flicked his sleeves and flicked away the princess who was pulling at the hem of his clothes. "You are such a lonely princess!" Uncontrollable anger! "If you lose, you lose! No matter how poor you are, you can still get that money! You are good now, what kind of person is Huanggugu? You dare to put eye drops on her! You are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos!" After that, he turned around and was about to leave, but the Crown Princess was shocked, and hurriedly pulled out his sleeves, "Where is Your Highness going?"
"Where are you going?" The prince snorted coldly and pushed Li Shi away, "Of course I'm going to help you deal with the aftermath!"
After speaking, he angrily walked out of his tent and went to find Princess Pinghu.
