Chapter 229 Gong¡¯s Scheming
Seeing the kitten dying next to her, Li Zhen couldn't help being shocked. Someone clearly wanted to poison Xu Hui!
He immediately shouted: "Come here, arrest all the maids and the cooks. We must find out who poisoned us!"
Li Zhen¡¯s eyes were red.
Someone actually poisoned his wife in his own house, and his wife was pregnant. What a vicious intention!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
"Ding! Mission: Find out the murderer behind the scenes. The host will find out the person behind the assassination of Xu Hui within one day. After completion, you can get corresponding rewards."
Li Zhen clicked the confirmation button. After a while, several maids next to Xu Hui were arrested, crying that they were wronged.
Li Ruyi was the Crown Princess and rushed over after hearing the news.
At this time, some guards arrested the cook.
When the cook saw the broken bowl and the poisoned cat on the ground, his body softened and he knelt on the ground.
"Prince, spare your life, it was not me, it was not me!"
Li Zhen didn¡¯t say anything. Princess Li Ruyi naturally had to take care of this kind of family affairs.
Li Ruyi looked cold, ignored the cook, and said sternly: "Who gave this bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup to Sister Hui?"
"Princess, I gave it to the master." A little girl named Xiaolian said.
"Did it pass through other people's hands?"
"No." The little girl turned pale with fright and shook her head repeatedly.
"Think about it again, has it passed through other people's hands?"
"Indeed not."
"Lian'er has been following me for several years, and there will definitely be no problem." Xu Hui said.
"Your Highness, Miss Sun Qingqi has arrived." the guard said.
Sun Qingqi walked in, squatted down, took some Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, smelled it, observed it carefully for a while and said, "Someone has planted oleander seeds in this bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup."
"Oleander?" Everyone was stunned.
Oleander is mostly found in the south, but it is not common in the north. The roots, stems, leaves and seeds are highly toxic.
Hearing what Sun Qingqi said, everyone knew that this bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup had indeed been poisoned.
Li Ruyi looked at the cook and said coldly: "Did you make this bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup?"
"I made it myself, but I can be sure that there is nothing wrong with the ingredients of this white fungus and lotus seed soup," the chef said.
"Nina, let someone go to the kitchen to see if there is oleander in the condiments."
After a while, the guard who went to search came back with a paper bag in his hand and said, "Your Highness, we found this in the kitchen."
Sun Qingqi took the paper bag and opened it, and saw a pack of black powder inside. Sun Qingqi sniffed it and said, "Yes, this is a powder made from oleander seeds. It is extremely toxic."
"I am unjustly accused! I have never seen oleander, where is this oleander powder? Someone is framing the villain!"
"Who else entered the kitchen today besides you?" Li Ruyi asked.
"No oneah, by the way, only the Crown Princess's maid has been there," the chef shouted.
"You're talking nonsense! Where have I been in the kitchen?" Behind Li Ruyi, Jing'er, eyes wide with anger, said sternly.
"Has anyone else seen Jing'er enter the kitchen?" Li Ruyi asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"If it was really Jing'er who did this, then the Crown Princess would never treat Jing'er lightly, but if it wasn't Jing'er who did it? You can't escape the blame!"
"Master, I really have never been to the kitchen." Jing'er said.
"Have you ever seen Jing'er enter the kitchen with your own eyes?" Li Ruyi asked.
"That's not true. Jing'er screamed anxiously, saying that the princess wanted to drink chicken soup, so I left first. But I never saw Jing'er enter the kitchen with my own eyes!" said the cook.
Li Ruyi thought for a while and said: "Now I can confirm that only Jing'er, the cook, and Xiaolian have been in the kitchen."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
Li Ruyi said: "Xiao Lian, did you get the white fungus and lotus seed soup from the chef?"
"That's true. I went to get the soup, but I didn't see the cook, so I took it myself." Lian'er said.
"Where were you then?" Li Ruyi asked the cook.
?The cook said: "Qing'er called me out and asked me to make you a bowl of chicken soup, so I went to get the chicken."
"Jing'er, is that so?" Li Ruyi asked.
"Yes, but I didn't enter the kitchen after the cook left." Jing'er said.
Li Ruyi looked at the three of them. It was obvious that the murderer was among Jing'er, Lian'er and the cook.
But for a while, there was no way to tell which of them was lying.
Li Ruyi said: "It seems you won't confess without being tortured."
"Master, I was wronged!"
Several people knelt down and kowtowed.
Li Zhen yawned and said, "No need to go to such trouble, I have a way to make the murderer show up on his own."
Everyone looked at Li Zhen, wondering what method Li Zhen was talking about.
Li Zhen immediately asked for iodine, candles, small iron bottles, white paper, and ink pads.
Then let the three people press their fingers on the ink pad and reflect it on the white paper.
Then, Li Zhen carefully took the white paper wrapped with oleander and put it on a piece of white paper, poured the iodine into the small iron bottle and heated it with a candle.
Everyone looked at Li Zhen in confusion, wondering what he meant by this move.
After heating for a moment, the iodine began to evaporate, and Li Zhen opened the white paper wrapped with oleander and placed it on top of the metal vessel. After a while, several fingerprints appeared.
Li Zhen asked someone to compare the fingerprints of the three people.
After a while, Li Zhen frowned and said coldly to Jing'er: "Jing'er, aren't you going to do it?"
Jing'er was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, trembling.
She didn¡¯t expect that Li Zhen would find her in this way.
"Master, save me!" Jing'er looked at Li Ruyi and shouted.
Li Ruyi frowned and said, "Jing'er, you dare to poison my sister Xu Hui, you are so confused!"
"etc!"
Xu Hui waved his hand and said, "If you tell me who is behind the scenes, your life may be spared."
Jing'er kept trembling and said: "No one ordered Jing'er. Jing'er just didn't want Master Hui to give birth to a prince and affect the status of the crown princess. This matter has nothing to do with anyone else. It was all done by Jing'er alone."
"Jing'er, you are so confused!" Li Ruyi stomped her feet in anger.
This Qing'er was the maid brought by Li Ruyi as a dowry. I didn't expect that she would make such a big mistake.
Li Ruyi's eyes turned red and she said to Li Zhen: "Your Highness, Jing'er and I are sisters. Please spare Jing'er's life for my sake."
Li Zhen snorted coldly and said, "You are the Crown Princess. If the family law is not strict, what will happen if everyone follows suit in the future?"
Li Ruyi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, tears kept pouring out, and he was unable to speak.
"Master, all this is the fault of your servant. I'm sorry for you, so I'm leaving now!"
The eyes hit the pillar on the side.
Li Zhen shouted: "Hold her!"
"boom!"
With a crisp sound, Jing'er's brains had burst and died (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
