After rebirth, Jiaojiao Cook and Silly Marquis counterattacked
Chapter 450: Fancy the bounty
Dong Qian didn't react until she actually entered the cell.
He immediately reached out and grabbed the cell door, "I didn't do this, I can investigate clearly!"
"You'd better save yourself. People from Dali Temple are here to investigate. You are a little cook. What else can you do besides cooking?"
The guard standing at the door couldn't help but sneered, and when he saw that Dong Qian had no voice, he stopped talking.
After Dong Qian calmed down completely, she realized that it was useless no matter how much she said to the guards.
The real decision-making power lies in the hands of the emperor, and Dong Qian has no way to prove herself now.
So the final result is that we can only wait and wait for the people from Dali Temple to investigate clearly.
But in fact, Dong Qian knew the truth very well. How could the person who deliberately framed her not collude with the people in Dali Temple?
In fact, Dong Qian was most worried about the Queen Mother's health. She was indeed very good to herself.
Moreover, even at such an age, she still had to suffer such a disaster, which made Dong Qian feel very uncomfortable.
From the time the longevity noodles were made to the time they were served in front of the Queen Mother, Dong Qian watched the entire process.
It was impossible to poison him when he had it in his own hands. The chopsticks handed over by Princess Pingyang were also used by the Queen Mother before.
The maid walked over with the noodle bowl, and Dong Qian kept a close eye on it to see when the poison was administered.
Or maybe it's not poison in the first place, or it's something else strange.
Dong Qian didn't rest the whole night, her mind was filled with fragments of today's events.
But the more Dong Qian tried to put these things together, the memories in her mind were constantly being disrupted like a puzzle.
Dong Qian didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
The cell was covered entirely with moldy straw, and there were even disgusting scurrying movements like cockroaches and mice from time to time.
Because there is such an environment everywhere here, things like rats and cockroaches are no longer afraid of people, and they even dare to jump around in front of people.
Dong Qian was too tired to care about these little things. She lay on the dilapidated little bed and gradually fell asleep.
In her sleep, Dong Qian seemed to have returned to her previous life. She was obviously just a girl who liked cooking. She wanted to rely on her own skills to escape the imprisonment of fate, but she was still harmed by others.
Dong Qian thought that as long as she was careful enough, there would be no problems in her previous life, and she could not prevent them.
The same thing happened, but the only difference was that this time everyone survived and she was the only one who went to jail.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that fate was playing tricks on her. She shed tears in her sleep.
If everyone needs to pay for her life with her life, then she is willing to sacrifice her own insignificant life, as long as everyone no longer loses her life because of her own fault.
At the same time, outside, Princess Pingyang and Lin Teng were called to the emperor.
"You two, tell me, does Chef Dong have any suspicions?"
Hearing this, Princess Pingyang immediately said: "Dong Qian is absolutely perfect in everything she does and cooks. She is an upright and well-behaved person. It is impossible for the second team to do anything harmful to others."
After Princess Pingyang finished speaking these words, Lin Teng lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about.
Lin Teng didn't react until Princess Pingyang hit him with her elbow.
"Back to the Emperor, Princess Pingyang's views do not represent mine. Although it seems so on the surface, Dong Qian is selfish and never cares about other people's feelings. If we say who did this thing, it is still I think it’s not impossible for her.”
Princess Pingyang's eyes widened and she didn't understand what he meant.
"Dong Qian wasn't nice enough to you yesterday?"
"When you were in so much pain that you couldn't stand up, wasn't she the one who found some medicinal materials and solved it for you?"
Princess Pingyang didn't understand what Lin Teng wanted to say at all. Could it be that she had other ideas?
"Which one of you is lying?"
The emperor was a little impatient, but Princess Pingyang and Lin Teng really insisted on their own opinions, and no one was willing to let go.
"Your Majesty, if you still don't believe it, why not ask Qi Ran or someone else."
Princess Pingyang knew very well that it was impossible for the emperor to only listen to the opinions of the two of them, especially now that there were differences, it was even more impossible.
Soon Princess Pingyang and Lin Teng were sent out. The two stood in front of them. Princess Pingyang couldn't help but want to confront him.
But Lin Teng spoke first, "Princess Pingyang, do you still have to defend her?"
"What do you mean by that?" Princess Pingyang frowned.
Lin Teng smiled lightly and said: "If Dong Qian can't get out of this matter, the bounty of ten thousand taels will be divided between the two of us. Isn't that why you came here?"
Moreover, the relationship between Princess Pingyang and Dong Qian was not very good before. If Princess Pingyang said these words because of her conscience, but if you add the weight of a bounty of ten thousand taels to your conscience, it seems that such a thing as conscience is Not worth much anymore.
"Lin Teng, do you think I am the same person as you?" Princess Pingyang chuckled.
She thought Lin Teng was talking like this today because he had some personal grudges with Dong Qian, but what she didn't expect was that he was coveting the bounty.
"Why not? Princess, don't you hate her?"
Whether it was because he stole her limelight and prevented Princess Pingyang from organizing the birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, it was difficult and unreasonable to deal with Dong Qian.
"I don't know what you are talking about, but Dong Qian will never be the one to harm the Queen Mother!"
Princess Pingyang knows the palace very well. If you want to live well, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. Even if there is no evidence and everything points to Dong Qian, Princess Pingyang can firmly believe in her.
Because there is only one person who wants the Queen Mother to die, and that is the Queen Mother.
If Dong Qian really wanted to kill the Queen Mother, there was no need to attend the birthday banquet.
Every time I went to the Queen Mother's palace to cook, why couldn't I take advantage of so many opportunities? It was always much easier than this birthday banquet.
And when the maid used a silver needle to test the poison, it was true that there was no poison in the noodles, but why did something go wrong later?
Originally, Lin Teng wanted to persuade Princess Pingyang again, but she seemed to have been immersed in how to reverse Dong Qian's case.
After all, there are too many coincidences and uncertainties in this matter.
And ever since Mo Qian learned the news that Dong Qian was imprisoned, she had been clamoring to leave the palace.
But because Dong Qian was captured, the token on her body was naturally taken away.
Mo Qian couldn't leave the palace without this token, but because of Dong Qian, she couldn't make too much noise and cause trouble, but she couldn't leave either.
Since something happened here yesterday, Qi Ran has been staying in the palace waiting for news.
The people from Dali Temple have indeed come to investigate, but no one can be sure that the people from Dali Temple will be very accurate in their investigation.
So when Mo Qian was having trouble with the two guards guarding him, Qi Ran suddenly appeared.
He immediately reached out and grabbed the cell door, "I didn't do this, I can investigate clearly!"
"You'd better save yourself. People from Dali Temple are here to investigate. You are a little cook. What else can you do besides cooking?"
