Seeing this, Butler Zhao felt extremely sad. He lost his previous arbitrariness and arrogance and spoke the truth and his suspicions: "After the prince was poisoned, I interrogated the cooks who were responsible for the prince's meals. They all said unanimously that Miss Leng
My maid, Qing Tao, once entered the kitchen during dinner, and she seemed to be sneaky. Later, I brought Qing Tao for interrogation in person. She said that Miss Leng did give her a packet of medicine and told her that it could prolong life.
He asked her to put the tonic into the prince's meal. Later, I asked Miss Leng in person about turning off the medicine, and she did not deny that the medicine was hers, nor did she deny the fact that she asked Qing Tao to take the medicine."
When Zhao Yuan heard what Butler Zhao said, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, so much that his whole heart ached. He didn't believe that his little Bao'er was such a vicious person. He knew that she loved to play and would sometimes make some mistakes, but not
As for not knowing what to do, he would not easily take people's lives for granted. However, the facts were before his eyes, and he really didn't know what to do, so he took a deep breath and asked, "Where is she now?"
"The west wing room." Butler Zhao replied, adding at the end: "Because the facts have not been found out, so we let people take a look. She is not allowed to leave even half a step until Master Yuan comes back to deal with it."
Zhao Yuan slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, opened his eyes for a long time, and said with determination: "Take me to see it!"
The night of late autumn is getting even cooler. There is no starlight in the dark night sky. The moon hides its face under the dark clouds, leaving only a place of silence. This silence spreads with a little-known mystery, which makes people feel sad.
I feel panic inside.
Leng Changxi slowly woke up from the couch, but for some reason, she couldn't fall asleep again.
During the few days she was imprisoned in the west wing, Leng Changxi's sleep was always intermittent. She would wake up from her sleep at the slightest disturbance. Sometimes, even if she fell asleep, she would wake up because of some strange dreams.
She sighed, stood up slowly, put on a coat, walked to the window, and opened the window. Unexpectedly, what she saw was only pitch black. The sky lost its silvery embellishment and fell into eternal darkness.
Something seemed to be fermenting in the dark. Leng Changxi's hand slowly covered her chest. She felt that her chest was tight and uncomfortable, and the bad premonition was getting stronger. No matter how she slapped her chest, she couldn't help it.
Get rid of the bad feeling in your heart.
"Steward Zhao." The guard's respectful voice came from the door.
When this came to Leng Changxi's ears, she couldn't help but frown. Ever since she was imprisoned here, except for the night of the first day, when Butler Zhao came and asked her some incomprehensible words, she has been missing. Every day except
The girl who delivered the meal quietly made her feel that she had not been forgotten and that she had never seen anyone else. Why did Butler Zhao suddenly come here to look for her so late today?
"Open the door!" Butler Zhao's cold voice made her immediately understand that the person who came was not malicious.
Leng Changxi gathered her thoughts. Since she knew someone was coming, she didn't need to pretend to be sleeping or anything like that. She just lighted the candles in the room generously.
"Creak--" the sound of the door came from behind her.
There was a defensive sneer on Leng Changxi's lips, and she turned around slowly: "Butler Zhao, I don't know why you came so late..."
Only halfway through her words, Leng Changxi looked at the person in front of her who had been floating in her mind, with a look of disbelief filled with surprise and surprise: "Brother Yuan..."
Leng Changxi called out softly, and the voice that had been lingering in the dream came to Zhao Yuan's ears so really that it made his heart tremble, and at the same time, he felt a bit of sourness and pain.
Zhao Yuan's lips moved slightly, but the "Xiao Bao'er" could not be uttered. The two of them had only been away for more than a month, so why did they feel helpless.
Leng Changxi was so overwhelmed with joy that she didn't notice the strangeness in his eyes. Seeing him standing motionless at the door, she just thought he was waiting for her to come forward, so a sweet smile bloomed on the corners of Leng Changxi's lips.
, taking three steps and two steps at a time, he ran in front of Zhao Yuan, raised his hands high, and was about to give him a hug: "Brother Yuan——!"
However, Leng Changxi's hug was in vain. Zhao Yuan quickly ducked and avoided Leng Changxi's hug.
It was only then that Leng Changxi slowly realized that something wasn't right about Zhao Yuan's face.
"Brother Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Leng Changxi asked tentatively.
However, Zhao Yuan still did not speak, and did not even give her a look. This was the first time she saw Zhao Yuan like this, and she felt a sudden shock in her heart, and panic spread in her heart.
Butler Zhao was a well-informed person. Seeing the two of them acting like this, he felt that it was inconvenient for him to disturb them, so he silently exited the room without saying a word and closed the door for them.
"Brother Yuan..." Seeing Butler Zhao leave, Leng Changxi called him tentatively again, but this time there was a strong sense of uncertainty in her voice. Her intuition told her that something had happened, and that something serious had happened. I'm afraid
This matter has a lot to do with her.
Leng Changxi put all the things together and thought about it. Butler Zhao kept her here for several days without asking anything. Then, Zhao Yuan, who was supposed to be in the palace, suddenly appeared here and his attitude towards her was not the same.
A 180-degree change had taken place. If it wasn't for something big happening, she really couldn't think of any other reason.
Zhao Yuan trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them, the sadness and disappointment in his eyes almost made Leng Changxi suffocate: "Xiao, Xiao Bao'er, say, it's not you,
As long as you say it's not you, I will believe it."
There was a hint of trembling in Zhao Yuan's voice, with a deep hoarseness, which actually made people feel sad.
The uneasiness in Leng Changxi's heart grew. She swallowed uncertainly: "Brother Yuan, what did you ask me to say? I don't know what you are talking about."
"Little Bao'er, this matter is not as fun as those clumsy pranks you used to do. Are you still unwilling to tell her now?" Zhao Yuan suddenly grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard.
"It's not that I don't tell you, but I really don't know what you want to ask!" Looking at Zhao Yuan who suddenly became a little manic, Leng Changxi became more and more uneasy.
"Okay, you don't know, then let me ask you, did you order that medicine?" Zhao Yuan's tone became extremely resentful.
Upon hearing this, Leng Changxi's heart skipped a beat. It was about medicine again!
It seems that all the problems really come from this medicine, but what she gave Qingtao was obviously a laxative. At most, Qingtao gave a little more, which made King Xi suffer from diarrhea. Why did they all question her?
Her expression was as if she had committed something heinous and sinful? Thinking like this, she opened and closed her mouth, and after a while she nodded slowly and said, "Yes."
