Having said that, Xie Yuanjiu turned around and asked the **** to bring up the maid she had brought.

The little maid faced the emperor and the prince for the first time, and she knelt on the ground and trembled.

 "Slave servant...Slave servant was one of the maids who served the second lady."

Second Master Xie recognized him: "Are you Hong He?"

 He frowned in growing confusion.

When sending Xie Yuanjiu away, he clearly sent Honghe and most of the maids and servants from the second courtyard to the side courtyard to take care of Xie Yuanjiu.

Hong He didn't dare to raise his head to look at him, and only said with a trembling voice: "I want to admit that before the second lady was imprisoned, the second master gave me a drug that can cause people to go crazy, and asked me to sprinkle some of it every day. In the food the Second Lady drank.”

Mr. Xie’s expression changed and he shouted angrily: “Lie!”

 The emperor narrowed his eyes.

Seeing this, Xie Suzhi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this maid is full of nonsense, and she even wants to frame her for trouble."

Xie Yuanjiu lowered his head with a miserable expression: "A few days ago, my mother died suddenly and unexplainedly in prison. Hong He secretly paid homage to her in the house. I caught her and she told the truth after being tortured. ."

Fang Qingdai couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xie is not such a person."

 The emperor raised his hand and stopped everyone's words.

 He looked dimly at Hong He who was kneeling on the ground.

"Do you know that if I find out that you lied, not only will you not survive, but your nine tribes will also be implicated?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, there was a clear sound of Shen Ningning cracking open melon seeds.

 “Click—” The fragrant melon seeds fell into the mouth.

Hong He was trembling all over, and kept glancing at Xie Yuanjiu from the corner of his eye.

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "However, during the time when Hong He was serving the second lady, Aunt Qingdai had not returned to Beijing, so what reason did the second uncle have to harm her?"

Xie Yuanjiu was startled, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

Her voice was full of resentment: "But at that time, the news of General Liang's death had spread back to the capital. My father had probably already planned to take this opportunity to get rid of my mother as a burden."

 “Yuanjiu!” Second Master Xie angrily scolded, his eyes bloodshot and red: “I have never treated you badly, why do you do this to me?”

Mrs. Xie Er designed to sleep with him. After she had Xie's wish, Mrs. Xie, who was still alive at the time, forced Mr. Xie to take responsibility and married Mrs. Xie back.

 So, although he did not want to see Mrs. Xie and did not kiss Xie Yuanjiu, he had never deprived the mother and daughter.

He did not miss any amount of money his father should pay. He even entrusted his eldest brother Xie Suzhi to invite famous masters to give lectures to Xie Yuanjiu and train her in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and let her do whatever she liked.

 Why was it that today, she issued an imperial edict and sued him before the emperor?

The emperor’s voice was faint: “Besides this red lotus witness, what other evidence do you have?”

  Xie Yuanjiu raised his head, his eyes filled with tears of resentment: "There is also the subject herself."

"Some time ago, my daughter was infected with the plague. Princess Funing hated her, so she refused to give her life-saving medicine. My daughter knelt at the door of Xie's Mansion, begging her father to be merciful. However, my father avoided seeing her. If it hadn't been for my daughter Fu's fate Big, I’m afraid he’s dead a long time ago.”

At this point, she cried bitterly and looked at Mr. Xie: "How did you ever regard me as your daughter? In your eyes, my mother and I are both the culprits who ruined your life, right? Now that she is dead, are you satisfied? Got it!"

Mr. Xie looked at Xie Yuanjiu's accusation in astonishment, as if he had never known her before. His heart was so heavy that it hurt. Only now did he see clearly that Xie Yuanjiu had probably hated him for a long time.

Xie Suzhi on the side shook his head and sighed calmly.

He had known for a long time that Xie Yuanjiu's temperament had become crooked. During the years she went to Changzhou, she not only failed to correct her bad habits, but also worsened them.

The emperor also heard about the fact that Xie Yuanjiu almost died from the plague, but at that time he thought it was a family matter in the Xie family, so he did not intervene.

 But now it seems that it was cruel for the father to refuse to give his daughter life-saving medicine. The emperor looked at Mr. Xie with a somewhat cold look.

Xie Yuanjiu seized the opportunity and said, "Not only that, but I also discovered that Xu..."

"Uncle Emperor, I have doubts!" ​​Shen Ningning interrupted her bluntly.

The emperor looked at Shen Ningning with a gentle expression: "Ningning, let's leave your questions until uncle has finished interrogating them, okay?"

 Shen Ningning shook her head.

"This doubt is very important. Xie Yuanjiu kept saying that my second uncle poisoned the second lady. However, I just sent someone to deliver food to the second lady in the prison yesterday. She was not dead, so why did he poison her?"

Xie Yuanjiu was shocked and blurted out: "What? Not dead?!"

The emperor was keenly aware that her tone was wrong, and the way everyone looked at her also revealed a deep and serious look at her.

Xie Yuanjiu immediately changed her tune and cried: "Your Highness, no matter what grievances we had in the past, my mother has passed away now. The deceased is the most important. Do you still want to spread rumors that she has come back from the dead?"

Shen Ningning pouted: "I didn't lie to you, she is really not dead."

Mo Lingwei nodded at this time and ordered outside the palace: "Bring the people up."

Everyone turned around and saw two of the prince's personal guards carrying a woman with messy hair into the palace.

She was lying in the hall in a state of utter disarray. The emperor frowned and looked at her for a long time: "Is she the Second Lady Xie?"

 The figure on the ground moved and raised its head. Xie Yuanjiu, who was closest to her, was immediately frightened to death.

 It’s really her mother! She's not dead!

Mrs. Xie Er stared at Xie Yuanjiu with her vicious eyes through her messy hair.

 “You’re surprised that I’m not dead, aren’t you?”

Xie Yuanjiu was trembling all over: "You, how could you..."

 Shen Ningning opened her mouth to clear up her doubts.

"Before, on behalf of my second uncle, I went to visit Mrs. Xie. Unexpectedly, I discovered that the food Xie Yuanjiu sent to Mrs. Xie was poisonous. The mice would not die immediately after eating it, but would go crazy. So I asked the miracle doctor Grandpa to check it out. check."

“It turns out that the food that Xie Yuanjiu gave Mrs. Xie to eat was the real chronic poison that caused people to go crazy. A little at a time, if you take too much, you will die suddenly, and Wu Zuo can’t find out the reason.”

Mrs. Xie cried and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is clear that every word of Princess Funing is true. Xie Yuanjiu's actions are damning. In order to frame her father, she wants to poison the minister's wife!"

Xie Yuanjiu still couldn’t come to her senses. She clearly saw Mrs. Xie covered with white cloth with her own eyes. The jailer also said...

 Wrong!

 She suddenly reacted and looked at Shen Ningning sharply.

The little guy sits high on the prince's chair, like a bright moon.

 It was Shen Ningning who planned to harm her!

 She mistakenly thought that her plan was successful, so she attacked Mr. Xie.

As everyone knows, Mrs. Xie is just faking her death!

 It’s over…

 Xie Yuanjiu looked pale.

The emperor's voice was cold, with murderous intent: "Xie Yuanjiu, what else do you have to argue with?" (End of this chapter)
