Chapter seven hundred and seventy-ninth false feelings
With the guards joining him, the second prince naturally breathed a sigh of relief. He ordered someone to be left alive, and then asked You about what happened.
Youshi said that Lixiang wanted to poison the second prince and forced her to become an accomplice.
Because wine was not accessible to Li Xiang, a total of three waiters were changed from the big kitchen to this courtyard.
Moreover, these chambermaids had to undergo a body search to ensure that no poison was hidden on their bodies before they were released, so Li Xiang could not find any chance to poison them.
The last door has to be tested by another chamberlain with a silver needle to confirm that it is not poisonous before it can be brought in.
Li Xiang was not allowed to get close to the food and wine during the whole process, she could only watch the handover process from the side.
Li Xiang had to wait until she entered the house to find the opportunity. She wanted to put the poison into the wine pot while Youshi was not paying attention.
Who would have thought that Youshi suddenly turned around and discovered Lixiang's intention. Lixiang was helpless, fearing that Youshi would break it, and not only would the plan not succeed, but it would also cost her own life.
So Li Xiang pulled out the dagger and wanted to threaten Youshi to get her to cooperate.
This was what his concubine Youshi said at that time. Although he felt that there was something wrong with it. But at that time, after the disaster, he was moved by Youshi's sincerity towards him, so he didn't have time to think about it carefully.
After catching Li Xiang, Li Xiang was stubborn and refused to speak. The second prince thought about it and decided to take the risk himself.
He can only drink the crane crown red from the wine pot to lure the snake out of its hole and find out the master behind Li Xiang.
But after a while, he felt that something was wrong, and there were many loopholes in the concubine Youshi's rhetoric.
First, why did Lixiang pull out a dagger and threaten after Youshi broke into Lixiang and poisoned her? Shouldn't he be killed and silenced?
Because Youshi would not remain silent and watch him drink the poisoned wine.
If something happens to him in this courtyard, Youshi will not be able to escape the involvement and will definitely be implicated.
Secondly, if he didn't drink, but let Youshi drink first. Youshi knew that the wine was poisonous, so she naturally didn't dare to drink it. Wouldn't it be exposed at that time, and Youshi would become Lixiang's accomplice?
The third and most important point is that Lixiang can only threaten Youshi by holding the dagger. If he comes out of the clean room, how can Lixiang threaten Youshi with the dagger?
No matter what Li Xiang thinks of, he will definitely see the clues.
Of course, Youshi is just a weak woman. It is understandable that she was momentarily panicked and failed to figure out Lixiang's intention when encountering this kind of thing.
It’s hard to say that Lixiang wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Youshi, but she was just threatening her to make Youshi relax her vigilance!
The second prince did not ask these questions rashly. Although he was suspicious of Youshi, it was not a good time to interrogate him at that time.
Suddenly he remembered that when he came out of the clean room, Li Xiang looked at the dagger in a daze, which made the second prince even more confused.
Was the situation at that time really as Youshi said? He felt that what he saw might not be the truth, at least not the whole truth.
So, he stabilized Youshi and asked people to take him to another yard to rest.
On the one hand, people were asked to monitor Youshi closely to see if Youshi would reveal any tricks.
Later, he drank some poisonous wine.
"I got the news yesterday that You may be Big Brother's spy!"
The words of the second prince shocked the three people present, and then the aide Su Yilian said in surprise: "But you saw her coming into contact with the eldest prince's house? I didn't expect that there are quite a lot of spies in our house. It's a pity that we usually see
Don't come out. If this incident hadn't happened, how would we have thought that these two weak women were spies from other houses?"
"So it is said that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured!" Jiao Ling said with emotion.
"Then why did she call Po Lixiang? Why not let Lixiang be poisoned? Wouldn't she be able to achieve her goal?" Lu Haifang thought of the key to the problem.
"Yes! If Youshi is a spy from another house, then her purpose must be the same as Li Xiang's. Why doesn't she turn a blind eye? After Li Xiang succeeded, she immediately found a way to leave the house.
Wouldn't it be easier to just leave than it is now?"
"This will help us understand what happened at that time. Who knows whether Li Xiang put this red crane top red? It turns out that those words were only one-sided words from Youshi. We all know that her words cannot be trusted."
The second prince shook his head. Apart from Lixiang and Youshi, who could know the situation at that time?
Maybe Youshi framed Lixiang, and Lixiang was indeed a spy from another family. In short, these two people came to plot against him.
Especially Youshi, the eldest brother can really tolerate it! Youshi has been in the mansion for more than five years, and she is the daughter of a poor family he met while offering incense in the temple.
At that time, Youshi was being teased by some gangsters, and he rescued Youshi. Afterwards, seeing that Youshi was beautiful, he sent someone to her house to ask about the wishes of Youshi's parents, and took her into the mansion.
Youshi has served him very devotedly over the years. She usually competes with other concubines and is jealous, which doesn't seem to be anything unusual at all.
Who would have thought that the person lying beside me for five years would actually be a spy sent by someone else.
After catching Youshi, he went to Youshi's home to arrest her parents, but failed. Now, the second prince was more sure that Youshi's motives were impure.
After five years, it would be a lie to say that there is no affection. Youshi has a good look and is used to flattering her. He is a man, so how can he be exempt from this?
He shook his head and left all this behind.
Since You entered the house with a purpose, her previous affection for him was all false. This woman is really hateful, and he cannot be soft-hearted.
"Your Highness! Someone has been arrested. Your Highness is going to interrogate him now?" Wang Shen led him to the door of the study and reported softly.
The second prince immediately beamed with joy, "Okay! He came so quickly! Are you sure he has no accomplices?"
The second prince stood up excitedly and thought for a moment, if only one person is captured, then only one party takes action, what about the other families?
"He's the only one here. He's here to deliver news to Li Xiang." Wang Shenling had already asked for some confessions, and the rest had to be interrogated by the second prince himself.
The second prince's mood calmed down a bit, and he turned around and looked at the hourglass on the table. When he saw that it was almost midnight, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"It seems that this person and Li Xiang are in the same group. The Yinshi period is coming soon. I guess I can only gain so much tonight."
"It's not bad to have such a gain. You have just been appointed as the prince by the emperor and you have made such a big move. I am afraid that people who don't know the truth will make malicious speculations behind your back. Even the emperor may be dissatisfied!"
Lu Haifang felt that this matter should not be rushed. The ceremony for establishing the crown prince has not even been held yet, and the second prince is so eager to eradicate his dissidents. It makes people think that the second prince is cruel and cannot tolerate his brothers.
Although they all brought this upon themselves, the world is so ignorant. If someone deliberately spreads rumors that are unfavorable to the second prince, saying that the second prince is ruthless and ruthless, and that he will not be able to tolerate his brothers just after he became the prince. The honest and honest appearance before was all just an act.
