"Now that things have happened, with so many people testifying, what else do you have to say?" The Queen Mother looked at Leman He with cold eyes, and there was no concealed disgust in her eyes.
"It's really not me! I didn't let Miss Lin drug the princess! I really just heard that the princess was with Prince Qin, so I told Prince An about it!" Lei Manhe was so panicked that he refused to let go. .
After all, drugging Princess An is a serious crime. If she admits it, it will be over!
Fortunately, only Miss Lin knew about it. As long as she denied it and the other party couldn't produce evidence, relying solely on Miss Lin's words would not be enough to prove that she poisoned Princess An.
Xia Luotong gave Miss Lin a cold look, and the latter was shocked, knowing that if she didn't confess honestly, she might lose her life.
Miss Lin gritted her teeth and said, "The medicine Lord Ruirong asked me to administer is still on my body!"
After saying that, Miss Lin took out a paper bag from her arms. Obviously, this was the medicine she was talking about, the medicine that Lei Manhe gave her.
There was also medicinal powder in the paper bag. Lei Manhe couldn't help but his eyes darkened when he saw it. The medicinal powder was not used? ! No wonder Xia Luotong appeared in front of him without any problems at all!
What happened? Have you been betrayed?
Lei Manhe couldn't hide her panic, but she still decided to fight to the death. As long as the medicine was not found on her body, and as long as the queen's aunt was there to help her, she would still have a chance to escape!
"Why do you want to slander me like this?! I don't recognize such a thing at all, let alone I gave it to you!" Le Manhe pretended to be angry and glared at Miss Lin, his eyes full of evil.
Miss Lin didn't expect that when things got to this point, she even took out the medicine bag, but Lei Manhe still refused to admit it!
But now that the matter has come to this, if Lei Manhe refuses to admit it, wouldn’t it mean that all the blame will fall on her head? ! After all, she had already spoken out about it!
She cannot bear the responsibility for harming Princess An and Prince Qin! Not to mention that she can't afford it, even the entire family will be implicated!
So Miss Lin is really anxious now! There is no turning back when work starts. Even if she doesn't stand on the opposite side of Le Manhe, the reality doesn't allow it. She must get rid of this fatal scapegoat!
"Everything I said is true! Princess, this medicine bag was really given to me by the Lord of Ruirong County! And she also said with certainty that King Qin will definitely come and ask me to guard the door of the side hall!" Miss Lin Said hurriedly.
She knew that she could only count on Princess An at this moment. Even though she was still poisoned by the other party, she could feel that Princess An was not targeting her.
This time, Miss Lin's guess was correct. Xia Luotong really did not intend to let Lei Manhe go.
When Lei Manhe saw Xia Luotong's face, he didn't know what she was thinking? She immediately wanted to say a few words of defense, but the Queen Mother did not give Le Manhe this chance.
"Doctor Zhong, go take a look at the medicine bag." The Queen Mother ordered coldly.
Immediately, a man about forty years old walked out of the crowd. He was the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital!
Seeing Doctor Zhong take the order and walk towards Miss Lin, the Queen's eyes froze. She didn't even see that Doctor Zhong was there just now!
Dr. Zhong was a member of the Queen Mother, and it was Dr. Zhong who checked the Queen Mother's pulse on weekdays. He was deeply trusted by the Queen Mother. The Queen tried to pry Dr. Zhong into her position many times, but failed in the end.
Seeing the presence of Dr. Zhong at this time, the Queen knew that the Queen Mother must have been prepared, and the expression on her face became a little more ugly. Obviously she did not expect that the Queen Mother came prepared, otherwise most of the doctors guarding the banquet today would be hers. Man, as long as she opens her mouth, don't these imperial doctors all obey her orders and respond?
But Dr. Zhong is already here, and if she tries to stop her again, it will arouse suspicion. So she can only watch Dr. Zhong anxiously as he checks the medicine bag, hoping that Lei Manhe can withstand the pressure, otherwise if he is found guilty, Even the queen myself can't protect Le Manhe!
Compared to the queen's nervousness, King Qin's biological mother, Concubine De, didn't have much to worry about.
When she learned about this incident at first, she was really panicked, especially since the Queen Mother was sitting here and obviously wanted to get to the bottom of it. She was even more worried that this matter would affect King Qin and her own plans. But when Miss Lin revealed the truth, , Concubine De is not worried anymore.
After all, judging from this situation, King Qin was obviously implicated and drugged to do such a thing. Instead, he was standing in the position of the victim.
Concubine De even winked at King Qin, telling him that he would have to look miserable for a while!
Just when everyone was thinking differently, Dr. Zhong had already completed the inspection of the medicine bag, turned around and respectfully replied to the Queen Mother: "To the Queen Mother, this medicine bag is indeed an aphrodisiac as Miss Lin said. Drugs, and their powerful effects, can make people lose their minds and be controlled by desires."
As soon as Dr. Zhong said these words, everyone was in an uproar. According to what Dr. Zhong said, wasn't this the same situation that King Qin and Xia Zhilu were in just now? Just now, both of them had no sense at all, only primitive impulses.
The Queen Mother looked at Lei Manhe coldly: "What else do you have to say?"
"No! I didn't do it! I really have never seen this medicine bag, let alone know about it. It's this woman who slandered me!" Lei Manhe shook his head repeatedly, with a look of grievance on his face, as if he had been hurt. Such a huge injustice.
Looking at Lei Manhe who was about to deny it to the end, Xia Luotong suddenly raised a faint smile, turned to look at Miss Lin, and asked: "Who gave you this medicine bag? Is it the Lord of Ruirong County?" Personal maid?"
Xia Luotong raised his hand and pointed directly at the maid who was standing behind Lei Manhe with an uneasy look on her face.
"That's right! It's her! It was this maid who secretly gave me the medicine bag when no one was prepared! Before today's reception banquet, the county owner said that she would send her maid to hand the medicine bag to me during the banquet!" Miss Lin responded quickly.
"You're talking nonsense! My maid has never done such a thing! Nor have I made such an agreement with you!" Lei Manhe refused to admit it and immediately retorted.
"Whether the County Lord has done this or not cannot be denied with just one sentence from the County Lord."
The smile on Xia Luotong's face, his leisurely look, and his attitude as if he had everything under control all made Lei Manhe feel uneasy.
Sure enough, the next moment, Xia Luotong turned to look at Doctor Zhong...
"Doctor Zhong, if I remember correctly, the smell of some of the ingredients in this medicine package will remain on the clothes for a long time, right?"
As soon as Xia Luotong said these words, everyone present was stunned. Lei Manhe and the maid were even more shocked!
They didn't know anything about pharmacology, so when they heard what Xia Luotong said, they all panicked!
And Doctor Zhong's answer made the mood of the master and servant fall directly to the bottom...
