The evil woman wears the clothes quickly: the abstinent male protagonist loses control and falls

Chapter 270: The Little Daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion VS His Royal Highness the Noble Crown Prince (59)

Only then did Ning Liangyuan realize that she had never felt so uneasy before.

Subconsciously, she turned around and looked at her personal maid Xiaodong with a questioning look. Xiaodong's eyebrows were drooping and her face was pale.

Tang Yu watched the quarrel between the master and the servant, and calmly picked up the handkerchief to cover the corners of his mouth.

The imperial physician stepped forward to examine the medicine, sniffing it and taking something out of the medicine box for comparison. After a long while, the imperial physician bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, this medicine does contain ingredients that can destroy one's appearance, but it is not poisonous and will not harm the human body. This kind of medicine is really rare, and we must carefully identify it."

The imperial physician's words were equivalent to convicting Ning Liangyuan of half the crime. If solid evidence could be obtained from the servants in Ruyan Palace later.

Then Ning Liangyuan's crime of damaging the Crown Princess's appearance and intending to frame the Crown Prince was completely established.
Ning Liangyuan's already tense heart was immediately lifted, and she pointed at the imperial physician for disregarding his image.

"You quack, you are talking nonsense. I don't have the medicine you mentioned. Have you been bribed by someone to deliberately frame me?"

The imperial physician could not accept such slander and his expression turned unhappy.

"I am only identifying the medicine, I have never been bribed by anyone!!"

Ning Liangyuan looked at Ning Chen again.

"Your Highness, I really didn't intend to harm the Crown Princess. Since the last time, I have been much quieter and more honest. I often burn incense and worship Buddha with the Queen. How could I harm the Queen? Besides, this is your Highness's child. I will never harm your child no matter what! Your Highness, please understand!"

Tang Yu lowered his eyes and watched Ning Liangyuan crying, but he still looked at Ning Chen with affection and expectation, and the emotion in his eyes was unclear.

Without waiting for Ning Liangyuan to argue.

soon.

Everyone in Ning Liangyuan's yard was brought up, and Ning Chen ordered Liu Dequan to take them to the yard for interrogation.

The whole yard was filled with screams of execution, and the interrogation yielded no results.

Ning Liangyuan, who had been nervous, wiped her tears and breathed a sigh of relief. She let Xiaodong help her sit on the chair and returned to her rebellious look.

"Your Highness, I really didn't know about the poison. Someone must have framed me, just like the jade pendant last time. It's the same this time. The person behind this is so vicious that he wants to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of me. He wants to use my hand to harm the Crown Princess. Your Highness must catch the murderer, clear my name and avenge the Crown Princess!"

Ning Liangyuan was like a victorious rooster. Although she spoke like this, her eyes were fixed on Concubine Wan.

It seems that he is certain that Concubine Wan is the person behind this.

Wan Rou was not willing to be outdone and glared back.

"Ning Liangyuan, have you forgotten that it is true that the servants in your palace are interrogated, but everyone knows that the confidant is the personal maid. The maidservant who came with your dowry and stood beside you has not been interrogated yet, so the matter has not been concluded."

"After all, we all have our own confidants. What secrets can we learn from interrogating them just now? It's just sweeping the flowers and plants outside."

Concubine Wan has been targeted again and again, so naturally she is not a spineless person.

She was determined to tear a piece of flesh from Ning Liangyuan and teach her a lesson.

Concubine Wan not only targeted Ning Liangyuan herself, but also tried to get Tang Yu and Zhou Liangdi to join the battle.

“Besides, if we talk about who is the most flamboyant and annoying person in this mansion, it must be you, Ning Liangyuan. Take Zhou Liangdi for example. She has a higher position than you, but you took advantage of her because she is weak in character and never performed any courtesy to her. You even insulted her at every turn.”

"It's fine that you act arrogantly on weekdays. Concubine Zhou has a good temper and tolerates you. But Concubine Yu was appointed as a concubine by His Highness himself, and you still don't show courtesy. I don't know what you are relying on. Is it your father, the middle servant?"

Ning Liangyuan's chest heaved with anger.

He glared at Concubine Wan as if he wanted to fight her.

But she quickly calmed down. Now was not the time to be angry.

What if Xiaodong is interrogated and may not survive?
She was not worried about Xiaodong's life or death, but she was afraid that she would give herself away, especially since she had drugged Tang Yu before.

"Your Highness, are you really going to be so disrespectful to me?"

Tears fell, and she looked at Ning Chen, who was sitting in a high seat without saying a word, pleadingly, hoping to see even a trace of pity in his eyes.

No.

Ning Chen gave the order decisively.

"Take Ning Liangyuan's personal maid away for interrogation."

Liu Dequan bowed and said yes, then waved his whisk. The guard behind him came forward with a cold face, grabbed Xiaodong's arm and was about to take her away.

Xiaodong looked panicked and his face was extremely pale.

"Master, Master, please save me, save me!"

Ning Liangyuan swallowed and pursed her lips nervously, but didn't even look at Xiaodong.

Xiaodong was pulled away screaming.

Everyone present was a smart person, and anyone could see the abnormality between Ning Liangyuan and her servant.

Xiaodong's screams were soon heard outside.

Ning Chen always cuts the Gordian knot when dealing with the interrogation of his servants.

As Xiaodong's voice became weaker and weaker.

The inside of the palace seemed to be trapped in an ice cellar.

Tang Yu also acted scared, shivering her shoulders, like the most fragile and pitiful little white flower in the wind and rain. Even in this situation, she still did not forget to act, deliberately acting fragile and pitiful while knowing her limits.

She didn't want her expression to look ugly. She had to look delicate and pitiful, yet not acting so that people would recognize her at a glance. She also had to show Ning Chen the most beautiful angle, never forgetting to elicit his pity.

as predicted.

Ning Chen's originally cold and calculating expression touched upon the weakness that Tang Yu pretended to have.

My heart aches and the pain is unbearable.

Concubine Wan was always keeping an eye on Ning Liangyuan, and was the typical person who would not let go of anyone she had bitten.

"Why does Ning Liangyuan look so scared? It's okay. If you have never poisoned anyone, your maid will only suffer some physical pain, and no bones will be broken. Just remember not to play with poison next time. It's too scary and it may implicate you."

As she spoke, Concubine Wan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed softly.

Ning Liangyuan's mind was distracted by the screams outside.

I didn't have the energy to refute Concubine Wan's sarcasm.

Just when Ning Chen felt sorry for Tang Yu and wanted Liu Dequan to break his previous rules of punishment and execute the person in another place, Liu Dequan walked over quickly.

The guards behind him dragged Xiaodong, who was covered in blood, into the hall.

"Your Highness, this maid confessed, claiming that she was indeed instructed to poison the child. However, she said that the poison was given to someone else, not the Crown Princess. As for why the poison ended up in the Crown Princess' hands, it is unknown."

When Liu Dequan reported the incident, he looked hesitant and did not say who was behind it or who was poisoned.

The maid's confession was really beyond his expectations.

But the maid insisted on saying this and there was nothing he could do.

Ning Chen, "Who ordered you to do this?"

Xiaodong knelt on the ground with difficulty, enduring the pain in a weak voice.

"In reply to your Highness, I was instructed by Concubine Yu to poison Ning Liangyuan and frame her! Concubine Yu, please save me. I am loyal to you."
