After saying that, Xie Yuanjiu turned around and asked the eunuch to bring up the maid she had brought.
The little maid faced the emperor and the prince for the first time, and she knelt on the ground and trembled.
"Servant... I was one of the maids who served the Second Madam."
Second Master Xie recognized her: "Are you Hong He?"
He frowned with increasing confusion.
When sending Xie Yuanjiu away, he clearly transferred Honghe and most of the maids and servants from the second courtyard to the side courtyard to take care of Xie Yuanjiu.
Hong He didn't dare to raise his head to look at him, and only said with a trembling voice: "I want to admit that before the second lady was imprisoned, the second master gave me a drug that can cause people to go crazy, and asked me to sprinkle some of it every day. In the food that the Second Lady drank."
Mr. Xie's expression changed and he shouted angrily: "Lie!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
Seeing this, Xie Suzhi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this maid is full of nonsense, and she even wants to frame her for trouble.
" I secretly paid homage to her in the palace, so I caught her. After being tortured, Hong He told the truth. "But
Fang Qingdai couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xie is not such a person."
The emperor raised his hand . , stopped everyone talking.
He looked dimly at Hong He who was kneeling on the ground.
"Do you know that if I find out that you lied, not only will you not survive, but your nine tribes will also be implicated?"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the sound of Shen Ningning cracking open melon seeds could be heard loudly.
"Crack--" The fragrant melon seeds fell into the mouth.
Hong He was trembling all over, and kept glancing at Xie Yuanjiu from the corner of his eye.
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "But while Hong He was serving the second lady, Aunt Qingdai had not returned to Beijing. What reason did the second uncle have to harm her?"
Xie Yuanjiu was startled, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Her voice was full of resentment: "But at that time, the news of General Liang's death had returned to the capital. My father had probably planned it long ago. He wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of my mother as a burden."
"Yuanjiu!" Thank you! The second master angrily scolded, his eyes were bloodshot and red: "I have never treated you badly, why do you do this to me?"
Mrs. Xie designed to sleep with him, and after she had Xie Yujiu, Mrs. Xie, who was still alive at the time, forced the second master to Responsible for marrying Mrs. Xie back.
Therefore, although he did not want to see Mrs. Xie and did not kiss Xie Yuanjiu, he had never deprived the mother and daughter.
He did not miss the money his father should pay. He even entrusted his eldest brother Xie Suzhi to invite famous masters to give lectures to Xie Yuanjiu and train her in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Let her do whatever she likes.
Why did she issue an imperial edict and sue him to the emperor today?
The emperor's voice was faint: "Besides this red lotus witness, what other evidence do you have?"
Xie Yuanjiu raised her head, her eyes filled with tears of resentment: "Also, my daughter herself."
"Some time ago, my daughter was infected with the plague. Princess Funing hated her, so she refused to give her life-saving medicine. She knelt at the door of Xie's mansion and begged her father to be merciful. However, her father avoided seeing her. If she hadn't been so lucky, she would have died long ago. "
At this point, she cried bitterly and looked at Mr. Xie: "How did you ever regard me as your daughter? In your eyes, my mother and I are both the culprits who ruined your life, right? Now that she is dead, are you satisfied? "Yes!"
Mr. Xie looked at Xie Yuanjiu's accusation in shock, as if he had never known her before. His heart felt so tight that it was only at this moment that he saw clearly that Xie Yuanjiu had probably hated him for a long time.
Xie Suzhi on the side shook his head and sighed calmly.
He had known for a long time that Xie Yuanjiu's temperament had gone awry. During the years she went to Changzhou, she not only failed to correct her bad habits, but also worsened them.
The emperor also heard that Xie Yuanjiu almost died from the plague, but at that time he thought it was a family matter in the Xie family, so he did not intervene.
But now it seems that it was cruel for the father to refuse to give his daughter life-saving medicine. The emperor looked at Mr. Xie with a somewhat cold look.
Xie Yuanjiu seized the opportunity and said, "Not only that, I also discovered that Xu..."
"Uncle Emperor, I have doubts!" Shen Ningning interrupted her bluntly.
The emperor looked at Shen Ningning with a gentle expression: "Ningning, let's leave your questions until uncle has finished interrogating them, okay?"
Shen Ningning shook her head.
"This doubt is very important. Xie Yuanjiu kept saying that my second uncle poisoned the second lady. However, yesterday I sent someone to deliver food to the second lady in the prison. She was not dead, so why did she poison her?"
Xie Yuanjiu was shocked. , blurted out: "What? Not dead?!"
The emperor was keenly aware that her tone was wrong, and the eyes of everyone looking at her also revealed a deep and serious look.
Xie Yuanjiu immediately changed her tune and cried: "Your Highness, no matter what grievances we had in the past, now that my mother has passed away, the dead are the most important. Do you still want to spread rumors that she has come back from the dead?"
Shen Ningning pouted: "I didn't lie to you. Acridine, she is really not dead."
Mo Lingwei nodded at this time and ordered outside the palace: "Bring the people up."
Everyone turned around and saw two of the prince's guards carrying a woman with messy hair into the palace.
She was lying in the hall in a state of embarrassment. The emperor frowned and looked at her for a long time: "Is she Mrs. Xie?"
The figure on the ground moved and raised its head. Xie Yuanjiu, who was closest to her, was suddenly frightened to death.
It's really her mother! ! She's not dead! !
Mrs. Xie Er stared at Xie Yuanjiu with her vicious eyes through her messy hair.
"You're surprised that I'm not dead, aren't you?"
Xie Yuanjiu trembled all over: "You, how could you..."
Shen Ningning spoke, clearing her doubts.
"Before, on behalf of my second uncle, I went to visit Mrs. Xie. Unexpectedly, I discovered that the food Xie Yuanjiu sent to Mrs. Xie was poisonous. The mice would not die immediately after eating it, but would go crazy. So I asked the miracle doctor Grandpa to check it out. " Check it out." "It turns out that what Xie Yuanjiu gave Mrs. Xie to eat is the real chronic poison that causes people to go crazy. A little bit at a time, if you take too much, you will die suddenly, and Mrs. Xie
can't find out the reason."
Crying and kowtowing to the emperor: "Your Majesty, every word of Princess Funing is true. Xie Yuanjiu's actions are damning. In order to frame her father, she wanted to poison the minister's wife!"
Xie Yuanjiu still couldn't come to her senses. She clearly saw Mrs. Baibu, the jailer also said...
that's not right!
She suddenly reacted and looked at Shen Ningning sharply.
The little guy sits high on the prince's chair, like a bright moon.
It was Shen Ningning who planned to harm her!
Let her mistakenly think that her plan is successful, so she attacks Second Master Xie.
As everyone knows, Mrs. Xie is just faking her death!
It's over...
Xie Yuanjiu's face turned pale.
The emperor's voice was cold and full of murderous intent: "Xie Yuanjiu, what else do you have to argue with?" (End of Chapter)
