Mrs. Qing looked at Lin Jingmo with some doubts, and then shifted her gaze to the box in her hand.
Lin Jingmo quickly reached out and touched the herbal ointment in the box and applied it directly to Mrs. Qing's face.
"Ah!"
Soon the ointment took effect, and Mrs. Qing touched her face painfully, feeling itchy and painful.
Mother Liu who came over looked at Mrs. Qing who was screaming in pain. When she turned around, she saw Lin Jingmo standing on the ground in a daze, holding the box containing the ointment in her arms.
"Mo'er! What have you done? What did you put on Madam's face?"
Mother Liu angrily snatched the box from Lin Jingmo's hand, ordered someone to push Lin Jingmo to the ground, and then shouted: "Quick! Call the doctor!"
……
Lin Jingmo's whole body was pressed to the ground, and her face was pressed to the floor. It was just the New Year, and the cold had not subsided. The ground was as cold as ice, making Lin Jingmo more and more indifferent. At this moment, she had no dignity.
, there is no future, and even the only support in the palace, Mrs. Qing, has been lost. What kind of torture will be waiting for her?
Qi Xuanyi waited anxiously at the door until the medical officer of the mansion came out of Mrs. Qing's room. He walked up quickly and asked, "How is Qingqing?"
The doctor replied: "Fortunately, it was discovered early. Mrs. Qing's constitution is different from others and she cannot touch flowers and plants. Maybe her servants don't know that this crab claw ointment is colorless and odorless. It is good for ordinary people to nourish and improve their appearance."
Things are poison to Madam Qing! Fortunately, Madam has not been exposed to the ointment for a long time. Now she has washed it off and applied the ointment. However, her skin will be itchy during this period, but it will not be life-threatening."<
/p>
Qi Xuanyi turned to look at Liu's mother angrily and said, "Didn't I say it many times? Even if it is a newly admitted girl, whether she is serving Mrs. Qing or not, she must make it clear to her that she must not give anything to Mrs. Qing.
Madam comes into contact with flowers and plants. As a responsible mother who has always served Qing'er, you are so careless. Although nothing serious happens today, if you don't protect her tomorrow, she will die at the hands of you cheap maids!"
After saying that, Qi Xuanyi angrily threw the tea bowl on the table that Mrs. Qing had just drank from on the ground.
With a crisp sound, the fragments of the teacup splashed directly onto Lin Jingmo's face. When the broken pieces of porcelain touched Lin Jingmo's face, bright red blood flowed out.
Lin Jingmo didn't even blink. The other half of her cold side face seemed to be about to lose consciousness, and she gradually couldn't feel the pain. The warm blood slowly flowed out, reminding herself that she was still alive.
Alive.
In the rage of the prince, Liu's mother knelt on the ground in panic and replied: "Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't warn these hooves. It's actually that this girl has evil intentions and wants to harm people. I don't know how many times I told her.
This time, Mrs. Qing was not allowed to touch flowers and plants, but she came in with a box like this."
Qi Xuanyi looked at the box in Liu's mother's hand and couldn't help but frown. He reached out to take the box, opened it and saw that there was still half of the flower cake left in the secret compartment.
He could no longer suppress his anger and walked to Lin Jingmo with the box in hand.
Lin Jingmo watched Qi Xuanyi's feet getting closer and closer to her. At this moment, she was not afraid at all. She closed her eyes gently, preparing to face the coming storm.
"It's the princess!"
At this moment, Mrs. Qing walked out of the house wearing a veil and said loudly: "This box belongs to the princess!"
Qi Xuanyi put away his anger, turned around and looked at Mrs. Qing distressedly, and said: "You are injured. If you go out and see the wind, you will be in bad shape."
Mrs. Qing shook her head. She looked at Lin Jingmo's scratched face on the ground, still feeling a little reluctant, so she said to Qi Xuanyi: "My lord, she was ordered by the princess to kill me!"
Qi Xuanyi lowered his head and looked at the box. It was just an ordinary brocade box with nothing special about it, so he asked: "Qing'er, I know that you have always been concerned about me raising our child next to Minran.
I don’t care, but Min Ran was born into a well-known family and has read the books of sages since he was a child. How could he use this little trick between women to harm you?"
After that, his eyes fell on Lin Jingmo again: "This little girl has done treacherous things again and again. It seems that if the king of Japan does not want your life today, this palace
There will never be peace!"
Qi Xuanyi suddenly felt something was wrong. He walked to Lin Jingmo's side, squatted down and motioned for people to let go of Lin Jingmo, and then reached out and lifted her chin.
Since Lin Jingmo entered the palace, she tried her best to be inconspicuous in order to hide her face from others. She never applied powder or vermilion on her face. She was born with a fair complexion, and the blood she just shed looked a bit dazzling under the paleness. Her bright eyes
Full of stubbornness that is incomprehensible.
"Who are you?" Qi Xuanyi held her chin with his hand, looked around, and asked: "Why haven't I seen you before? How did you get into the palace? What is your purpose in coming to the palace?" p>
With a faint smile on his face, Lin Jingmo replied: "The prince asked too many questions, and I...I don't know where to start for a moment."
Qi Xuanyi suddenly let go of his hand, wiped his hands on the manager next to him in disgust, and said, "So you don't want to answer?"
Lin Jingmo lowered his head silently.
Mrs. Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! Everything was the princess's idea. If you don't believe it, how about calling the princess over and asking her to confront her?"
Qi Xuanyi said: "Qing'er, it's no need. The princess has rested now, why bother? According to this king, everything was done by this cheap maid. All she needs to do is beat her to death."
"No..." Qi Xuanyi tilted his head and suddenly thought of something, pointed at Lin Jingmo and said: "Don't beat her to death, lock her up, and ask who she is and how she got into the palace!"<
/p>
At this time, Chen Minran led people to the Qingzhu Courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed and saluted the prince and said, "I heard that someone injured sister Qing'er with flowers and plants, so I came here to see her injury."
Mrs. Qing replied: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the princess. It's just some crab claw ointment. It won't kill me."
"Crab Claw Lan..." Chen Minran glanced at Lin Jingmo, who was about to be carried out by someone's arms, and then said pointedly: "Does Madam Qing imply that the murderer is this princess?" Mrs. Qing did not hide anything and said directly: "I just heard that the princess is fond of flowers and plants. But last summer, Master Zhongshu ordered someone to give the princess two pots of crab claw orchids that are extremely difficult to grow! Crab claw orchids are such novel flowers and plants.
In the whole Chenzhou, except for the princess’s garden, it’s probably hard to find it, right?”
