Why doesn't this king's concubine compete for favor?

Chapter 22 The Puzzling Murderer

Zhuqing nodded, her shoulders shook again.

Jiang Xin walked up to Zhuqing, knelt down and looked at her:

"Look at you crying like a little bun. Who said that no one except you knows that I like to drink this, and there is one other person you forgot?"

Zhuqing paused and stopped sobbing.

Shu Ling was also puzzled.

While wiping Zhu Qing's tears, Jiang Xin said to Shu Ling:
"Although I really don't want to die, I'm not afraid of death either. Thanks to Sister Shu's words of reminder, I was saved from death today."

"What?" Shu Ling asked.

"My former maid also knows that I like to drink chrysanthemum honey."

Shu Ling suddenly understood that she did see that girl outside the dining room in the east courtyard today, she blurted out:
"You mean that Qiaoqiao was the one who poisoned him?"

At this moment, someone outside reported that the murderer had been found out.

It was Qiaoqiao who served Mrs. Jiang before, but the cook in charge of drinks in the dining room of the East Yard was also responsible. She didn't know that Qiaoqiao had been replaced, so she still handed over the drinks to Qiaoqiao, so she was given such a gift. Chance.

Nanny Li and some senior executives felt that the supervision was still not in place, and the news of the change of the servants around the nobleman was not timely and in place, so they decided to severely punish the relevant responsible persons.

The most important thing right now is that such a big incident happened in the palace, and the prince must report to him when he comes back.

Qiaoqiao's confession is more important, but Qiaoqiao has never said a word since she was arrested and sent to the inner prison of the palace, and she is surprisingly calm, not at all like an ordinary little maid.

At this moment, Jiang Xin of Nuanyang Palace pondered for a long time. The only possibility she could think of was that after Qiaoqiao got in touch with Youmen yesterday, Youmen concluded that the loss of his martial arts was useless, and that he did not assassinate Qiu Yuebai, which was an act of betrayal to the organization. So kill her.

But as for being in such a hurry, and using this method of killing one and paying for the other?

It would be fine if Qiaoqiao could kill him, but if Qiaoqiao couldn't stand the trick and revealed that she was also a pyloric assassin, wouldn't she be completely implicated?Thinking of this, sweat dripped down Jiang Xin's forehead.

"My lord, what's the matter with you, but what's wrong with you?" Now that the suspicion has been cleared, Zhuqing has returned to normal. The difference is that she is more attentive to Mr. Jiang, because she thinks Mr. Jiang is a good person, and she was so scared to death just now. , Jiang Guiren not only comforted her, but also wiped her tears.

Jiang Xin's heart was full of worries, but she couldn't speak them out.

Just ask frequently:

"Did Qiaoqiao say anything?"

Zhuqing shook her head:
"Several burly women in the inner prison took turns to interrogate Qiaoqiao, and some of the whips were broken. This Qiaoqiao just didn't say a word."

Until the evening, Shu Ling told Jiang Xin the news she had inquired about. The more Shu Ling thought about it, the more puzzled she became. She said:

"This Qiaoqiao is too problematic. She has been in the palace for many years and is very familiar with the rules of the palace. She knows that once she does this, she will be found out, but what is the reason that makes her rather be found out than do this? Could it be that she lost her head? To put it bluntly, even if she succeeds in poisoning you to death, it will be one life for another, and she will definitely not be able to escape. If there is any hatred, she will only serve you. It's only been with you for a day, and you haven't done much to her, how can she have such a big hatred?"

Hearing what Shu Ling said, Jiang Xin couldn't sit still anymore.
