Chapter 291: The Prime Minister’s Xiaojiao is a Black Heart Lotus 74

Chapter 291 The Prime Minister’s little Jiaojiao is a black-hearted lotus (74)

Queen Chen was speechless for a moment and could only stare at Jiang Shu angrily.

Jiang Shu looked at the palace maid and snorted coldly: "You are the Queen's servant, of course you will speak for her."

Then she held Zhao Xuanyun's arm again: "Your Majesty, Yu'er almost died tonight. Today is still his 100-day banquet. You only have this son. Are you really willing to see Yu'er suffer the consequences of this?"

Hands?"

Although Zhao Xuanyun was cold-blooded and ruthless, that was his dragon descendant after all.

There's no way he doesn't care.

Just when he was about to coldly order the people around the queen to be tortured in order to force out something, Qing Yi walked in with several guards and maids:

"Your Majesty, sir, I have brought a group of people from the imperial dining room."

Jiang Shu was wiping her tears with her handkerchief. When she saw the crowded group of people following Qing Yi, a hint of cunning flashed across her eyes.

Jiang Fu really got it right.

As expected, Gu Mo sent someone to the imperial dining room to check.

However, she was still afraid that he wouldn't go.

Gu Mo's majestic gaze swept over those people one by one, and then said indifferently: "I guess you have heard the news before coming here, so please tell me what unusual things happened tonight."

The group of palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other with their heads lowered, and no one dared to speak.

Finally, a palace maid standing in the middle of the crowd couldn't help it anymore, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said tremblingly:

"Slave, I saw Miss Bai and Miss Ruoer whispering something outside the imperial dining room tonight, but I didn't hear the specific content and didn't dare to listen. After all, Miss Bai is the noble person invited by the empress...

"

Gu Mo's eyes instantly turned cold: "Are you serious? You should know the consequences of fabricating testimony."

The little palace maid trembled, bit her lip and said, "Slave, I swear, what I said is true."

As soon as the words fell, several more maids knelt down:

"My servant can testify that Miss Bai did call Miss Ruo'er out before the dinner started."

"The slave also saw it, and seemed to hear words like 'cake' and 'success'."



Jiang Shu was more or less surprised.

She had arranged for someone in the imperial dining room in advance.

But definitely not these palace ladies.

Could it be that Bai Wu really did something tonight?

That played right into her heart.

All the witnesses and material evidence are there, so she and the queen can't even think of cleaning up!

Although Gu Mo knew Bai Wu's character well, after all, he couldn't protect her in this situation, so he could only turn his attention to Bai Wu.

Bai Wu was startled and said with a pale face: "No, it's not what you think..."

Jiang Fu quickly continued: "Does Miss Bai really mean that she said these words?"

Bai Wu pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying: "I did say that, and I did find Ruo'er, but...but I definitely did not poison the little prince."

Jiang Fu couldn't help but feel contempt in her heart.

I originally thought that Bai Wu was a scheming person.

Unexpectedly, she was the one who got the upper hand after all.

At this time, I didn't want to argue with arguments and avoid suspicion for myself, so I actually pretended to be pitiful.

That kind of trick works against men, but it has no use here.

"Then Sister Bai, why didn't you tell me your intention at that time? Otherwise, it would arouse people's suspicion." Jiang Fu said with a worried look.

As she spoke, she quietly glanced at one of the maids.

The man saw the right moment and knelt down:

"My slave also heard these words. Not only did I hear it, I also saw what Miss Bai handed Ruo'er, and then, then..."

The palace maid stopped talking, and Jiang Shu then angrily scolded: "What do you mean by hesitating? Is there something you don't dare to say?"

The palace maid immediately put her head on the ground, mustered up the courage and said in one breath:

"The slave then saw that Miss Ruo'er seemed to have added something to the cake."

Hearing this, Zhao Ziqing couldn't help it, and sneered and cursed: "You blind bitch, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open. Since you saw it, why didn't you say it then? Why do you think you are a messenger of justice now?"

The little palace maid said calmly: "That's because I'm just a busboy in the royal kitchen and can't go inside. And I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought it was a step to make snacks. It wasn't until something happened tonight that I

Something feels wrong."

The reasons are reasonable and there is nothing wrong with them.

But often the more careful it is, the more loopholes there are.

A little palace maid who works as a handyman can still respond so fluently when the princess scolds her. She must not be a creature in the pool.

Gu Mo obviously noticed this, his sharp eyes were directed at the thin palace maid kneeling on the ground, and he said coldly:

"Then why didn't you stand up and correct me when the prime minister asked Qing Yi to go to the imperial kitchen to look for you? Why didn't you say anything when the prime minister first asked about you in this palace? Why did you wait until now? Since you can't get in as a handyman.

How did you see Ruoer moving his hands and feet inside?"

The little palace maid's face froze, as if there was a gleam on her back.

But her head was still on the ground, so no one noticed her reaction.

Jiang Fu's face didn't look good either.

She knew that Gu Mo was from the Criminal Department and could handle even difficult cases beautifully, but she didn't expect that his thinking and logic would be so rigorous.

She and her sister had been discussing a move for a long time, but he had already ruined half of it with just one sentence.

We can't let him continue to ask questions like this.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fu pretended to be deep in thought and said, "Fu'er has a humble opinion. Since hearing is truth and seeing is illusion, why don't you, Prime Minister Gu, send people to search our rooms, and you can always find some physical evidence.

"

Zhao Ziqing immediately retorted: "You know it's just a humble opinion, why did you say it out loud? Is it possible that all the imperial envoys are not as good as you, a woman?"

Jiang Fu's expression was extremely ugly.

She has always maintained a good relationship with Zhao Ziqing on the surface.

I didn't expect that she would be so merciless to me.

Jiang Fu bit her lower lip and looked at Zhao Ziqing with some grievance: "Why did the princess say this? If you are dissatisfied with Jiang Fu, you can just say it, there is no need to humiliate me like this."

Zhao Ziqing sneered again and again.

She is also a delicate woman.

Why does Bai Wu always make her feel pity, but this Jiang Fu makes her so disgusted?

"Is this humiliating to you? Do you deserve it? The emperor didn't even say anything, so why are you pointing fingers here?" Zhao Ziqing said unceremoniously.

I have to say that these words were of great use to Zhao Xuanyun.

He originally wanted to follow Zhao Ziqing's words, but when he saw Gu Mo frowning and expressing dissatisfaction, he suddenly changed his mind:

"Since there is no evidence, then go search, Jiang Lu, tell me my decree, search the palace!"

Gu Mo wanted to stop him.

Such a huge movement of searching the palace will inevitably alert others.

And such a grand search will undoubtedly give the thieves a good opportunity to frame him.

But he knew Zhao Xuanyun's temper very well.

If he blocks it, he will only get worse.

In that case, it would be even more detrimental to Bai Wu.

Thinking of this, Gu Mo looked at Bai Wu subconsciously.

From the beginning, she lowered her head without saying a word, unable to see any expression.

Gu Mo couldn't read anything from her eyes.

That’s right too.

She encountered this situation the first time she entered the palace. Even a smart and calm person would be at a loss.

Gu Mo calmly moved to her side, and then whispered to Qing Yi: "Send someone to follow and keep an eye on her, don't let others take advantage of her."
