The king was wrong

"So, the concubine came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime today?"

Wu Ranyue casually shook the teacup in her hand, glanced at Qi Yaoqing who was sitting in the main seat, and asked with a knowing smile.

"No." Qi Yaoqing shook his head.

"Why, is it possible that the princess will allow me to stay in the palace after knowing everything I have done?"

Qi Yao quietly looked at the woman not far away. She was still dressed in a purple brocade robe with a white jade hairpin inserted obliquely in her bun. She was elegant and dignified. People who don't care about other people's lives.

He shook his head again, "No."

"Oh, then it's over."

Hearing this, Wu Ranyue covered her face with a low laugh, put down the teacup in her hand, got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Qi Yaoqing, and said: "When I was determined to do these things, I guessed that today will come. Even if the concubine kills the concubine today, the concubine will not have any complaints."

She spoke casually, with a calm tone as usual, as if she had already put life and death aside.

Qi Yao stared at her intently for a long time, then suddenly sighed softly, and said, "I never said I would kill you."

Wu Ranyue was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Qi Yaoqing in confusion, as if she couldn't figure out what the princess was thinking for a while.

After almost dying at her hands several times, didn't he even plan to kill her?

how is this possible.

"The concubine doesn't need to say these beautiful words on the bright side. The concubine admits her mistake and is willing to be punished. If the concubine wants to kill or cut the concubine, she will do as she pleases."

"I said, I don't want your life." Qi Yaoqing reiterated again, "I'm here today, just to ask you some things. When things are clear, you will have your own place, and I have nothing to do with it."

"Where to go? Was driven out of the palace like Mrs. Side, carried back to her mother's house in a big way, and then the whole capital knew that she was divorced by the prince?" Wu Ranyue sneered and squinted, "Or is it that the princess is going to lock up the concubine? Where do I spend my whole life, alone forever?"

"I didn't know anything about Xue Hanxue in advance." Qi Yaoqing explained without changing his face: "Although I don't agree with this way of handling it, I don't think there is anything wrong with the original intention of the prince. You should have thought there would be today.”

"What about me, am I more vicious than Mrs. Side?" Wu Ranyue asked back: "I will give the princess camphor first to wear down your body, and then I will add heartbroken grass to the tea set that the prince gave you, making you almost Losing my life here, huh, how much better can my ending be than Mrs. Side's."

She seemed to be desperate to break the pot, but Qi Yaoqing's expression turned cold, and she suddenly asked without warning: "So you asked Mother Qin to add the arsenic in my porridge that day, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Wu Ranyue seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded and said: "Yes, I asked her to do all of these."

"Why, to kill me?"

"Yes."

"What about Xue Hanxue, why should she be involved?"

"Because..." Wu Ranyue frowned slightly, "Because I want to be the main concubine of the prince. If you are gone, the concubine, and the concubine is also gone, and Linglong and I are left, the position of the concubine is naturally Something in my pocket."

What she said was logical and logical, and at first it sounded like it was the case, but Qi Yaoqing laughed mockingly, and suddenly got up, walked to her and knelt down in front of her, looked into her eyes, and said, "You are very smart." , is also very tricky, but Wang Ji, you have to know that this mistake cannot be taken lightly."

Hearing this, Wu Ranyue looked at him puzzled.

"You said that you let Mother Qin put the arsenic on it?"

"……Um."

"Where is it?"

"Porridge...in."

"wrong."

Unexpectedly, Qi Yaoqing stretched out a finger and shook it in front of her, and said with a smile, "It's not porridge."

"It's not... porridge?" There was a crack in Wu Ranyue's superb expression.

"Well, it's not porridge." Qi Yaoqing shook his head, got up slowly, walked back to the main seat and sat down, and then said: "The arsenic was put in the snack, and Mother Qin was poisoned to death after eating this snack of."

"what!"

Wu Ranyue's reaction was not much different from what Qi Yaoqing had guessed. Although many people in the palace knew about Qin Ma's death, few people knew the exact cause of death.Just now he asked Wu Ranyue if she had dug a hole for her to jump into when she instructed Mother Qin to drop it, but she jumped into it without even thinking about it.

"Don't you even know how Mother Qin died?"

"I……"

Wu Ranyue was at a loss for words for a moment, she really didn't know how Mother Qin died!

It was only when news came from the side yard that day that she knew Qin Ma was dead.I thought Mother Qin was given to death because she was discovered by the concubine to secretly drugged her. Daming carried it back to Shangshu's mansion without hesitation, and Wu Ranyue even wondered whether Qin's mother had deliberately found Xue Hanxue as a backer to cover her before she died.

And it turned out later that it was indeed true.

"Do you know why I would ask you this?" On the chief seat, Qi Yaoqing was in a good mood and asked without giving her time to think.

"Concubine... I don't know."

"Yes." Qi Yaoqing nodded, not surprised at all, "Actually, I was skeptical when I came to your courtyard that day, but what I suspected at the time was whether this matter had anything to do with you."

Qi Yaoqing said casually: "I was tempting everywhere at the time, but you concealed it well, leaving yourself clean in your words, but it's a pity that a wise man will make mistakes if he thinks about it. You must know that the most reasonable statement sometimes often makes mistakes. It's full of loopholes. Of course, besides that, it's really not a wise move for you to let a little girl follow me to eavesdrop on my conversation with Meng Qi."

"Princess, you... found her..."

Wu Ranyue was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Qi Yaoqing in disbelief, but after carefully recalling the conversation that the little maid had recounted to her when she came back that day, she suddenly understood again.

No wonder, she was still thinking at the time, the concubine must have heard some rumors when she came to her courtyard specially, why did she believe in it after only hearing her words.

It's a pity that her knowledge was still too shallow at that time. Although she had some doubts at the time, she didn't think about it carefully, thinking that she really escaped a catastrophe...

"But my concubine, I don't understand. Where is the loophole?" After thinking for a while, Wu Ranyue suddenly raised her head and asked Qi Yaoqing.

That was the rhetoric she had prepared a long time ago. After careful deliberation many times, she confirmed that there was no flaw. How could it be so easy for Qi Yaoqing to see the flaw?

"Heh." Regarding this, Qi Yaoqing chuckled lightly, without hiding anything, and said straightforwardly: "You said that the reason why you knew about camphor is because your maid happened to meet Xue Hanxue who came to my courtyard to inform Qin Ma people, right?"

"Um……"

"But I just got the news the day before that every time Xue Hanxue saw Mother Qin, she would call her to her courtyard, and even the maid who accompanied her every day didn't know what the two of them said , not to mention the people here.”

"You don't even know about this. Your rhetoric is completely loose and untenable. Do you think I will believe it?"

Wu Ranyue stared blankly at Qi Yaoqing, then slumped down on the ground, "So... so Wangfei, you knew at that time that I was telling lies?"

"En." Qi Yaoqing nodded.

"Then...then why don't you expose me directly, and deliberately act in front of the maid I sent?"

Wu Ranyue really couldn't figure it out, since everyone knew that what she said was a lie, why did she deliberately act as if she believed it completely!

"Explore you?" Qi Yaoqing raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "No, I won't expose you so quickly, because there are still some things I don't understand."

"What is it?" Wu Ranyue followed closely.

"The relationship between you and Mother Qin." Qi Yaoqing said word by word.

"Relationship with Mother Qin?" Wu Ranyue didn't understand him all of a sudden.

"En." Qi Yaoqing nodded, "I've been thinking, if Mother Qin is really one of your subordinates, why don't you even know how she and Xue Hanxue met, and still use such an untenable excuse Excuse me?"

"It can be seen from this that your relationship with Qin's mother should not be close."

Qi Yaoqing's series of assumptions are not groundless.It stands to reason that if Qin Ma was really arranged by Wu Ranyue to enter his courtyard, then she should always pay attention to Qin Ma's movements. It is impossible for all of her subordinates to hook up with the side wife's branch and she would still say nothing about it. I don't know.

"That's why I just asked you on purpose if you planted the arsenic in the porridge, and when you said yes, you verified my guess in a disguised form. Wu Ranyue, Mother Qin is not your person at all, is she right? "

Although the words were rhetorical questions, the tone was so firm that it couldn't be more sure.

"Princess, concubine..."

"You don't have to argue with me."

Before Wu Ranyue finished speaking, Qi Yaoqing waved impatiently and interrupted: "Although I don't know who you are trying to protect, but there are two points that are clear. First, your family background and I have both After careful investigation several times, although your mother's natal family has a Jinghe Gold Shop, it is not a huge property after all, and you also said last time that your father took the scientific research route and started as a commoner. The power can be imagined, I don't think they can help you secure an informant like Qin Ma in the palace, and deliver those poisons to you without hindrance."

"Secondly, Wu Ranyue, I can see that your nature is still kind."

"Kind?"

Wu Ranyue looked at Qi Yaoqing with some amusement, as if she didn't understand how he came to such a conclusion.
