The maids sifted the tea leaves several times with a small sieve, and sure enough, some fine powder came out. Bei Tangjin dipped some with her fingertips and tasted it. It really tasted like cannabis flower powder. She also ordered the people around her to give it to Princess Yongchang.
And Feng Yan read it again.
"Where did this tea come from?" Princess Yongchang asked.
Wang Yuanxiang glanced at Xing'er, then at her daughter, but did not answer.
Feng Yan didn't say anything. His premonition vaguely told him that this matter was related to Bei Tang Yun, but he tried his best to control his thoughts.
"Princess, Xing'er is Fourth Miss's girl, she should know about this." No one answered for a long time, Qingsun immediately pointed at Xing'er and said.
Xing'er was pointed out and trembled with fear. Previously, she had wronged the second young lady after listening to the fifth lady's words. Now the second young lady's patron, Princess Yongchang, came and she didn't know how to answer.
The fifth young lady was kind to her, and she should repay her kindness, but the second young lady was also innocent!
Xing'er knelt on the ground and didn't speak. Bei Tangyun kept clenching her fingers tightly, otherwise she would tremble. She tried her best to control her body, but she just refused to obey. In fact, she was not that scared. Why were her hands shaking so much?
How awesome?
"You girl, the princess asked you something, why didn't you say anything?" Mo Zhu raised his voice and asked Xing'er, thinking: Could this girl be scared out of her mind?
"Miss Fourth sent someone to buy this tea, and I don't know why there are cannabis flowers in it!" Xing'er thought for a long time and finally came up with a balanced answer.
"That's nonsense! This is obviously the best in Dahongpao. It's a tribute tea from the imperial court. How can you buy it? Why don't you get it from the real thing!" Seeing that Xing'er dared to deceive her, Princess Yongchang raised her beautiful eyebrows as high as ice.
A chill came over the orchid-like face, and the voice was even more unusually cold, making Xing'er tremble even more.
"Princess, please go around this slave. I don't know where this tea came from!" Xing'er gritted her teeth and refused to tell Bei Tangyun.
Bei Tangjin smiled and said: "Princess, please calm down. This girl has such a tough mouth. If she is dragged out and tortured, she will surely know how to speak."
Princess Yongchang nodded, waved her hands to the little eunuchs on the left and right, and said: "You go, drag this girl out, and put twenty stamps on her first!"
"Yes!" The little eunuchs rushed forward and pulled Xing'er out with all their hands.
Xing'er didn't struggle, and let the little eunuchs do what they did. The sound of "crackling" boards and Xing'er's shouting were soon heard outside the door.
At this time, the whole room suddenly became quiet. Fengyan was secretly thinking about how he could exonerate Ayun if Beitang Jinzhen pursued the crime on Ayun. Wang Yuanxiang kept praying. This matter was related to her daughter.
It has nothing to do with it! Otherwise, she would have lost two daughters in one day, how could she still live?
When Aunt Qian saw this, she was always conflicted in her heart. Should she hand over the Fifth Miss? The Fifth Miss treated her like this, and she also understood at this time that she could not count on the Fifth Miss for the rest of her life, but
If the Fifth Miss doesn't want her, how will she survive at this age? Therefore, after thinking about it, Nanny Qian felt that since the Fifth Miss was so heartless towards her, she had no choice but to sell her a favor to the Second Miss in order to gain support for the rest of her life.
A way to survive!
"Your Highness, I have something to report." Aunt Qian suddenly stepped forward and knelt in front of Princess Yongchang.
Bei Tangyun was startled by Nanny Qian's voice, and thought to herself: Is this useless old thing going to hand her over? If I had known this, I would have gotten rid of her earlier! Bei Tangyun regretted it for a while.
, still trying his best to remain calm.
Princess Yongchang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"
"Princess, I am the nanny of the fifth young lady. I have been serving the fifth young lady for eight years." Nanny Qian was no longer afraid at this time and said very calmly.
Princess Yongchang nodded and said, "Since you have something to say, just say it."
Feng Yan and Wang Yuanxiang immediately became excited. They were wondering whether Nanny Qian was Bei Tangjin's confidant, or was it indeed Bei Tangyun who killed Bei Tangru?
However, no matter what this nanny Qian said, it was all detrimental to Beitang Yun, so she must stop it!
"Sister Huang, you can't listen to this old nanny. She is very untrustworthy towards Qin Muchu!" Before Nanny Qian could speak, Feng Yan stopped her from speaking.
Princess Yongchang asked strangely: "Oh?" Her eyes turned to Beitang Jin.
Bei Tangjin said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to listen to more truths and lies. That girl Zuo Xing'er hasn't finished her work yet. The princess should be relieved of her boredom by hearing this new and interesting story."
"Yu Rong's words are wrong. This is a major matter in Beitang Mansion and a family scandal. Her Highness the Princess will only get dirty after hearing this. How can she relieve her boredom?" Feng Yan couldn't help but hesitate when she heard that Beitang Jin had no intention of stopping her.
No, he just allowed the situation to develop. Could it be that Bei Tangjin was determined to fight against him and put Yun'er to death? This vicious woman! How could he tolerate her until now? She should have been killed long ago.
!To eliminate future troubles!
"Fourth Emperor brother, you don't have to say much, just listen to what this nanny has to say!" Princess Yongchang waved her hand, signaling Feng Yan to stop talking.
Feng Yan had no choice but to shut up.
If he tried to stop him at this time, he would be suspicious!
Aunt Qian kowtowed to Princess Yongchang, and then said: "Your Highness, this tea was originally given to the Fifth Miss by Your Highness the Fourth Highness. The Fifth Miss did not brew the tea herself when she got it, but put it into the fine Dahongpao."
Mixed with a small amount of extremely finely ground cannabis flower powder, it was given to the fourth lady. The fourth lady liked drinking Dahongpao tea very much, so when the slave delivered it yesterday, the fourth lady was very satisfied. However, the Dahongpao tea in this tea was
The Mahua powder is very small and difficult to detect. It also does not cause much reaction. Therefore, in order to make the Fourth Miss feel weak today and make it easier for the Fifth Miss to commit the crime, the Fifth Miss dropped the sandalwood given to the Fourth Miss by her wife.
The package, the sandalwood that was dropped was mixed with a small amount of datura flowers. At the same time, the fifth lady was afraid that the dose was still insufficient, so she ordered the slave to put a small amount of cannabis flower powder in the porridge that the fifth lady ate in the morning. In this way, the dosage was
It was enough to make the Fourth Miss feel weak! After the Fifth Miss killed the Fourth Miss, she immediately asked Xing'er to find the Second Miss, and then put the blame on the Second Miss, while the Fifth Miss went to find his wife and brought her here.
When we came here, Madam happened to see the dead Fourth Young Lady and Second Young Lady. In this way, Madam must be suspicious of Second Young Lady. Coupled with Xing'er's confession, then Second Young Lady will definitely bear the blame! This is Fifth Young Lady.
The whole plan!”
As Grandma Qian narrated, everyone present was extremely shocked. They didn’t believe what Grandma Qian said a while ago, but now, what she said was so reasonable and sound, and it didn’t look like a lie at all!
Many maids and ladies present felt that Bei Tangyun was the kindest young lady, but they did not expect that this kind young lady was actually as hypocritical as the second young lady said!
Wang Yuanxiang's face had turned pale for a long time, and she could no longer explain her feelings clearly. She didn't want to lose this daughter, but she had a very kind daughter, and this completely overturned her imagination. Her daughter's thoughts
She was so deep and vicious that she even wanted to kill her own sister. This, this was unacceptable to her!
"That's nonsense! Imperial sister, you can't believe what this nanny says! Everyone knows that the fifth young lady of Beitang Mansion is cowardly, innocent and kind-hearted. She can't even bear to trample an ant to death. How could she kill her own sister?
?This nanny must have been bribed by someone!" Feng Yan was so angry that she burst into flames! The plan that this nanny just mentioned was extremely sophisticated, how could it be possible that a simple and kind-hearted Yun'er could come up with it?
Princess Yongchang thought about what Feng Yan said, nodded, and said: "I have also heard that the fifth lady of Beitang Mansion is indeed cowardly by nature, and such a careful and vicious plan is not like a twelve-year-old girl.
You can imagine it.”
When Princess Yongchang said this, her eyes moved towards Bei Tangyun who was trembling all over. Seeing the extremely cowardly look on her face, she became more and more suspicious that Nanny Qian had been bribed!
When Bei Tangyun heard what Princess Yongchang said, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not too difficult to get through today. After all, Princess Yongchang still believed her.
"Your Highness, this slave is not bribed. What I say is true! If you don't believe it, ask someone to get the sandalwood in Miss Fourth's room to see if it is mixed with the fragrance of datura flowers.
I know what I said is true!" Aunt Qian bowed her head again. She was already panicking. Did she make the wrong choice this time? In this way, the princess would not believe her, and her life would not be saved.
Yes!
"Since you have been bribed by someone a long time ago, you have naturally prepared everything. At this time, you are looking for someone to see the sandalwood, and it is naturally just as you said!" Feng Yan immediately blocked Grandma Qian's mouth,
So that he can no longer speak!
"Yes, yes! My Ayun has always been kind and simple. How could she be the murderer of her sister? She must be lying! She was bribed by Bei Tangjin to frame Ayun!" Wang Yuanxiang finally said
Looking for a reason to balance her heart, she covered her mouth and felt that it felt much more comfortable to say these words!
However, how did she know that if she said these words, she would cause big trouble!
Feng Yan was still confident that she could get rid of Beitang Yuntong's incident today. Who would have expected that Mrs. Beitang would be so stupid that she would even pull Beitang Jin out? Wasn't this forcing Princess Yongchang to speak for Beitang Jin?
Will Yuner be put to death?
"Madam, Sister Qian was originally your confidant. She gave orders to the fifth lady and served her for eight years. How could our second lady bribe such a person? Madam, you can't just talk nonsense!" Qingsun immediately felt unfair for her family.
, why is this lady still biting her young lady?
"Yes, Your Highness Princess, Miss Qingsun is right. This slave is an old man from Beitang Mansion. She entered the mansion when she was young. Later, she stayed with Madam for many years and then with Miss Fifth. I am loyal to Miss Wu.
The young lady has no second thoughts! If the slave girl hadn’t said the wrong thing just now and was pushed out by the fifth lady to atone for the crime. The slave girl begged her in every possible way, but the fifth lady didn’t miss her old relationship. It was so heartless that the slave girl was heartbroken. After thinking about it just now, she felt that the most
The innocent one is the second young lady! The second young lady taught the fifth young lady music, and also hired someone to teach the fifth young lady calligraphy and poetry. The fifth young lady was not only ungrateful, but also jealous of the second young lady because she had become too close to the fourth prince in recent days.
Miss, that's why we came up with such a plan to get rid of the second miss!" Aunt Qian followed Qingsun's words and explained.
Princess Yongchang's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter, and she didn't know who to believe.
She looked at Bei Tangjin again and asked, "Ajin, why haven't you spoken?"
Beitang Jin said: "Princess, you can listen to Xing'er again."
Princess Yongchang then remembered Xing'er and said to Mo Zhu, "Go and ask them to bring people in."
Mo Zhu was also a little confused by these people. It was strange to hear that everything they said made sense. Princess Yongchang asked her to call Xing'er, but she couldn't wait to know the answer.
Xing'er received more than 20 blows and was unable to stand at this time. Someone helped her in, and then she was pushed to the ground and made to kneel down!
"Have you thought clearly about what I just asked you?" Princess Yongchang frowned and looked at Xing'er, who was lying softly on the ground.
"I have thought it through, I have thought it through, I will say anything! I will say anything!" Xing'er has been with Bei Tangru for many years. How has she ever suffered such a crime? If she can avoid the pain of flesh and blood, she is willing to say anything!
She still felt ashamed of Bei Tang Yun, but she also had to survive. She really couldn't hold on anymore!
"Then you have to be careful what you say! So as not to suffer any more physical pain!" Feng Yan glanced at Xing'er coldly. Xing'er was trembling in fear and nodded, but the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat again! Your Highness Fourth Prince
This obviously means to shut her up! What should she do?
"Does His Highness the Fourth Highness treat a maid in such harsh words to threaten this girl?" Bei Tang Jin looked at Feng Yan with a smile and said: "It is really beneath the status of a prince to argue with a maid!"
As soon as Feng Yan heard Bei Tang Jin's sarcasm, his anger boiled up. He wanted to strangle Bei Tang Jin to death, but Princess Yongchang was here, and he had to be very polite to Bei Tang Jin, so
It was extremely uncomfortable for him to endure, and he felt a suffocation in his heart. It was extremely uncomfortable!
Princess Yongchang also heard that Feng Yan's voice was obviously threatening. In order to ensure that Xing'er was telling the truth, she said, "Tell the truth. If you dare to deceive me in the slightest, I will not let you go lightly!"
Xing'er was so frightened that she was dripping with cold sweat. She had the fourth prince on one side and the princess on the other. She couldn't afford to offend anyone! What should she do?
"What else are you thinking about? If you dare to deceive the princess even a little bit, no one can protect you!" Seeing that Xing'er was still hesitating, Mo Zhu immediately scolded Xing'er.
Xing'er was so frightened that she trembled again, kowtowed to the ground, and said: "Princess, I don't dare to deceive the princess! I said, I tell the truth! I tell you everything! That tea, the tea was given to the Fourth Miss by the Fifth Miss.
Yes! The Fourth Miss was also killed by the Fifth Miss! The Fifth Miss accidentally killed the Fourth Miss and was so frightened that she begged me not to tell the story and asked the slave to ask the Second Miss to treat the Fourth Miss’ injuries..."
