Xi Niang and several bearers looked up at the wind chime at the same time and recognized her at a glance.
"Isn't this the maid who delivered tea to the princess yesterday? Is there any problem?" Xiniang asked in confusion.
"Are you sure she gave me tea yesterday?"
Xi Niang nodded, "The villain was standing in front of the princess's sedan door at that time and saw her handing tea to the princess."
There is a custom in Xilin weddings that before the bride leaves home and gets on the sedan chair, she has to take a last sip of tea from her parents’ family, which means that she cannot forget her parents’ upbringing.
Although there were many people at the wedding, Xiniang still remembered this part of the wedding.
After getting the answer, Luo Yao looked at the bearers with satisfaction, "Did you see it too?"
Several bearers nodded at the same time and echoed.
"Wind Chime, what else do you have to say now?" Luo Yao scolded angrily.
"These Xi Niang and the bearers are all invited by the Prime Minister's Palace. Naturally, they have to speak to the princess. I really have not done these things. I ask the prince to investigate clearly."
Feng Ling knelt in front of Xiao Yan, still refusing to admit that she did these things.
Liu Yinyin also hurriedly helped, "Brother Li Wang, I think there must be a misunderstanding. Feng Ling was with me all the time yesterday, and there was no chance to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver tea to the princess."
Xiao Yan looked at Luo Yao expressionlessly, "Based on these, you conclude that the wind chime poisoned you?"
Luo Yao didn't answer his question and walked straight to the wind chime.
"Hold out your right hand."
Feng Chime asked in confusion: "What does the princess want to do?"
Everyone looked at her with confusion, wondering what she wanted to do.
"There is also a small rule in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The slave who is responsible for delivering tea to the newlyweds will use a special blend of cinnabar that is not easy to fade and draw a lotus on his right arm, which means that the newlyweds will be together for a hundred years. You still have this on your arm. Are there lotus flowers?"
"Show us your right arm!" Luo Yao ordered loudly.
Feng Chime slowly stretched out her right hand and pulled up her sleeve with slow movements. Just as she was about to expose her right arm, she suddenly ran away while no one was paying attention.
"Wuhen, take it down!" Xiao Yan said solemnly.
"yes."
Wind Chime trotted under the wall and jumped onto the roof.
Wuhen followed immediately.
Seeing Feng Ling's agility, Luo Yao couldn't help but say, "He's still a practicing master."
"But Feng Ling doesn't know martial arts at all." Liu Yinyin answered.
Luo Yao turned to look at Liu Yinyin.
With so many people watching, there was no need for Liu Yinyin to speak harshly at this time.
"It seems that this person came well prepared. Your people won't let her escape, right?" Luo Yao asked Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan snorted coldly: "Do you think anyone is as incompetent as you?"
Cut~
That was because Luo Yao was incompetent before, right?
She is now...
Just as she was about to retort, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, and her face immediately changed in pain.
Xiangxue hurriedly came over to help her, "Miss, are you okay?"
"A little tired."
"My servant will help you sit down for a while."
"Um."
As soon as Xiangxue helped her sit down, Wuhen brought the wind chime back.
"My lord, I brought him back," Wuhen said.
Xiao Yan asked coldly: "Did you harm the princess?"
The wind chime didn't reply.
Xiao Yan frowned, "If you tell the truth, I can spare your life."
"My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to ask any more questions."
Xiao Yan turned to look at Luo Yao, "What do you mean?"
After sitting for a while, Luo Yao regained some energy. She stood up and walked towards the wind chime, stopping in front of it.
"What do you want to do?" Feng Chi asked coldly.
She looked at Feng Ling's face carefully, and the skin color under her cheeks was obviously a little strange. She quickly tore off Feng Ling's human skin mask, and an unfamiliar face was immediately revealed under the mask.
"Who are you? When did you pretend to be Feng Chime?" Liu Yinyin exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Yan silently looked at Luo Yao. How did she find the mask? She doesn't seem to be as stupid as the outside world rumored.
"You just want to harm me, right?" Luo Yao asked, crossing her arms.
The matter was completely exposed. Feng Ling knew that he could not escape today, so he laughed proudly, "You have all been poisoned, and you will be alive in a few days."
Luo Yao strangled her neck, "Where's the antidote?"
She is proficient in medical skills, but she is helpless against the weird poison here.
"Without an antidote, you just wait to die!"
"You want us dead so much? Who sent you here?"
"Go and ask your mother on the way to Huangquan!"
Luo Yao frowned, "What does it have to do with my mother?"
"You still don't know how your mother died?"
Luo Yao tightened her grip on her neck, "What else do you know?"
"Lan Qin, the richest woman in the world, died a few years after getting married. It's really pitiful and sad. She should have had a happy life, but she ended up dying because she married the wrong person."
From the memory of the original owner, we learned that her mother, Lan Qin, died of a serious illness. She was still young at the time, and she only remembered that her mother was tortured by the illness for a full year before she finally passed away.
Is there another secret behind the death of my mother?
"Who exactly are you? Why are you telling me this?"
"Kill all those people and avenge your mother!"
"Who are those people?" Luo Yao asked again.
The man smiled at Luo Yao, and blood suddenly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
When Luo Yao reacted, the wind chime turned into a corpse without body temperature.
She let go of the wind chime and took a few steps back.
"Ah!" Liu Yinyin screamed, "The princess killed someone!"
Ignoring Liu Yinyin's noise, Luo Yao carefully inspected Feng Ling's body.
He committed suicide by taking poison!
She had hidden poison on her teeth beforehand, and she bit the poison and swallowed it when she was talking.
This person lurked beside Liu Yinyin and never thought of leaving Prince Li's Mansion alive.
Who sent her here?
And what did she mean by those words she just said?
Wuhen inspected the body and truthfully reported the condition of the body to Xiao Yan.
Luo Yao clapped her hands and turned to look at Xiao Yan, "The truth has been revealed. Can I prove my innocence now?"
"She didn't say anything, but she died in your hands. Do you want to silence her?"
The emperor became ill from working all day long, but the four princes were ineffective, and the crown prince's position remained vacant.
The emperor once mentioned to him the idea of passing the throne to him. Although he refused, it still became a stumbling block for the princes.
The empress was the eldest prince's biological mother. She took great care of Luo Yao and tried her best to persuade the emperor to marry Luo Yao to him. Her intention was definitely not simple, which made his trust in Luo Yao drop again and again.
"..."
What a big statement!
She waved her hand impatiently, "You can say whatever you like! I'm tired and want to go back and rest."
"stop!"
Xiao Yan stopped Luo Yao who was walking towards the abandoned courtyard.
She turned back angrily, "What else do you want to do?"
"The wind chime thing is over. How should you explain that you sent someone to steal Yinyin's medicinal materials?"
"I didn't steal the medicinal materials." Xiangxue quickly defended herself.
Xiao Yan looked at the master and servant with cold eyes, as if you are making up whatever you want, but I just don't believe it.
"I believe Xiangxue will not lie. I also ask the prince to find the manager of the pharmacy. I will prove our innocence in front of everyone."
Xiao Yan frowned in displeasure and snorted coldly: "What tricks are you trying to play again?"
