When Tao Yaoyao looked at Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing was also looking at her. The moment their eyes met, Tao Yaoyao smiled.
"That's a problem for Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Jing had just heard the servant briefly talk about the situation here on the way with Ruyang Hou, but hearsay was not enough to find out the truth.
So he called the servants next to the princess to ask carefully what happened. This time, the servants from other courtyards hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Why, didn't you shout loud and energetic just now? Master Zhang is asking you questions now. If you don't remember, I can find someone to help you recall it."
Mrs. Ruyanghou didn’t invite Princess Anping today. She came uninvited and caused such a thing. She didn’t want to target others, but she was targeting her son’s savior now. If she, Ruyanghoufu, still sat back and watched Regardless, when the Ruyang Hou Mansion becomes lonely in the future, who will dare to say a fair word for them?
Princess Anping was dissatisfied with Mrs. Ruyang Hou for threatening her people, so she raised her head and glared at her.
Wen Hanyan found the right opportunity to retort, "Shouldn't the princess be angry at her own person's bad memory at this time? Why is she putting her dissatisfaction on others?
The people around you are not very old, and they don't seem to have bad memories, but why do they not remember anything when Mr. Zhang asked them.
Did they not remember what happened just now, or did they dare not speak out? "
With her mind exposed, Princess Anping looked at Wen Hanyan angrily, "You are so presumptuous."
"Princess Anping, if you want to find out the truth of what happened just now, you still need the cooperation of your people. If your people are unwilling to cooperate, I'm afraid we just stand here for a day and won't be able to ask anything in the end.
Today is the birthday of the third young master of Ruyang Hou Mansion. The princess just came uninvited. Now something like this has happened to spoil the birthday. You also know that children are unreasonable. If there is a fuss later, We got into trouble in front of His Majesty..."
Princess Zhou was originally angry that the princess had just threatened Wen Hanyan, but she would go again before finding the opportunity. Now that she found the opportunity, she would naturally not let the princess bully her daughter in public again.
No matter how stupid Princess Anping is, she can see that Mrs. Ruyanghou and Princess Zhou are all on Tao Yaoyao's side, and they are all trusted ministers of her father. If today's incident gets serious, it will probably be detrimental to her.
For a moment, she wanted to give up, but thinking of what Concubine Xian had promised her when she left the palace in the morning, she lowered her sleeves and looked at the maid beside her.
"Whatever you see, say what you want. No matter what happens later, this princess will make the decision for you."
The servants got the promise and finally spoke this time, but their testimony was obviously not as firm as what they had just said, but this did not hinder the overall situation.
Zhang Jing understood what was going on outside and turned to look at Tao Yaoyao, "May I ask what happened after Miss Tao entered the house?"
"There is something that I cannot tell you. Mr. Zhang should come in and take a look." Tao Yaoyao stepped aside and Zhang Jing nodded and entered the room.
Soon Zhang Jing smelled the scent of incense in the house. When he found the incense burner, he took out a piece of incense buried in the ashes and put it on his nose and smelled it. Then his face changed drastically.
“Huanqingsan is added to this.”
What?
"Isn't Huanqingsan a dirty thing used in brothels? Why does it appear here?"
Someone in the crowd shouted in surprise.
Although Princess Zhou and Mrs. Ruyang Hou guessed the princess's methods, they did not expect that she would use such a dirty trick, so they looked at Princess Anping again and their expressions darkened a bit.
Wen Hanyan didn't know about this thing, but when he saw that everyone's faces became very ugly after hearing this thing, he immediately ran to Tao Yaoyao worriedly and pulled her to look at her.
"Are you really okay? Do you want me to find a doctor to take a look at you? This man who suffered a thousand cuts is really vicious. How could he use such a method to deal with you?"
Tao Yaoyao was worried that Wen Hanyan would say something that she shouldn't say in anger, so she quickly told her that she was really fine.
"You forgot, I know medical skills, and this trick is just a trick in front of me."
When Tao Yaoyao said this, he glanced at Princess Anping casually.
Princess Anping thought of this incident later and was very upset. It's just that it's too late to say anything now.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Jing looked at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan's previous expression of loyalty and desire to follow Tao Yaoyao was not casual, but sincere. Although Tao Yaoyao was a woman and not favored, he could see that she was a smart person.
Moreover, she is kind-hearted than all the noble people he has met. If he follows her, he will definitely not have a bad life in the future.
It's just that Tao Yaoyao may have cared about what happened before and didn't use him much. Now that he finally got the opportunity, he had to show off.
So Lu Yan explained today's events in detail, from when Princess Anping's people came to him to how he got here.
Princess Anping never thought that things would go so wrong today, and now even a beggar could step on her feet.
"What are you talking about? You are obviously in the same group as Tao Yaoyao. Are you trying to frame me because your adultery was exposed?"
Princess Anping still wanted to struggle, but she didn't know that Lu Yan also brought witnesses and was waiting outside the Ruyang Hou Mansion.
The Marquis of Ruyang sent someone to call in the witnesses. Now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, Princess Anping has no convincing power no matter how much she wants to refute. In desperation, Princess Anping dissatisfied and said, "Who knows if all this was deliberately planned by Tao Yaoyao?" Yes, now these are just one-sided words from this beggar.”
The implication is that she does not acknowledge this result.
When Mrs. Ruyang Hou frowned, Zhang Jing stood up and said, "Princess, don't be anxious, I have a way to make the truth come out."
Zhang Jing took out the incense and said in front of everyone, "Huanqing Powder is mixed in this incense. I just smelled it. Maybe because I was too pressed for time, the Huanqing Powder in the incense was not mixed well." It’s uneven, so it’s very possible that the person who mixed Huanqing Powder into the incense still had this incense on his hands.”
After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he looked at Chu Wulang, "There is a medicine in Huanqing Powder that snakes like very much. I also asked Mr. Chu to help me find a snake outside." After a pause, he added, "It is best not to be poisonous. "
"No need to bother, we have it in our house." Marquis Ruyang called his servants and brought a vegetable snake from the kitchen.
Zhang Jing ordered his servants to place the snake around several maids, and then waited for the snake to identify the person.
The snake that the servant brought was thick and long. As soon as the snake was taken out of the bamboo basket, it stuck out its long tongue and struggled from side to side. The men were a little scared when they saw it, let alone these little girls of fifteen or sixteen years old.
The servants' faces were pale, and they all gathered in a circle tremblingly. They watched as the snake was placed on the ground, and then watched as the snake looked towards them and made an attack gesture.
At this time, the maid who had touched the medicine powder kept Zhang Jing's words in her mind. Snakes like this medicine very much and will attack if they smell it.
Although this snake is not venomous, its bite is very painful.
ah……
Before the snake was ready to attack, the maid was too frightened and stood up.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, while Princess Anping had a dark face.
"May I have your name?"
"Cloud Book"
"You put Mixiang in this room."
The maid wanted to deny it, but now that there were so many people staring at her, no one would believe her even if she wanted to lie, so she nodded tremblingly.
"Who asked you to do this?"
When Zhang Jing said this, everyone looked at Princess Anping. Princess Anping became angry and slapped the maid with her backhand.
"You are so brave. You dare to harm this princess. Who asked you to do this?"
Princess Anping was too anxious to take it out, but her flaws were revealed. Moreover, the people present were all ladies from various houses, women who lived in the backyard. With her little tricks, who wouldn't understand?
"That's enough. Since Princess Anping is not here to congratulate my son, please leave."
Mrs. Hou just kicked people out. How could Princess Anping accept this?
She is an extremely noble princess, who are these people?
"Madam, the princess ruined my reputation like this and let her go like this. I am unwilling and unwilling to accept it." Tao Yaoyao came to Princess Anping and said, "I have no enmity with the princess, why does the princess want to harm me?"
"Princess, please don't say anything about impromptu plans. Lu Yan just said that your people came to him early in the morning, which shows that you had this plan long ago.
Even if there wasn't the conflict just now, you still didn't intend to let me go.
It's just that I don't understand, why?
My daughter will marry into the palace soon and become the third prince's concubine. At that time, my daughter will be your sister-in-law. If you disrespect your sister-in-law so much, you won't get any benefit from this matter, right? "
Tao Yaoyao said this deliberately knowing that Princess Anping didn't like her, and she didn't want her to be the third prince's concubine.
No, as soon as she finished speaking, Princess Anping looked at her with disgust as if she had heard some joke, "Sister-in-law? Tao Yaoyao, please open your eyes and take a good look. You are worthy of being my princess." The royal sister-in-law?"
"What do you mean by this? Is it possible..." Tao Yaoyao thought of something and said in disbelief, "What happened today has something to do with the third prince? Or is he the one who asked you to do this? Otherwise, you Why would you say such a thing.
But why did he do this? I was frightened like yesterday, and I did it for his own good. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand what I'm thinking. Why do you do this to me?
Princess Anping, I care about the third prince. Can you go back and tell him that there is a misunderstanding here? As long as he sees me and I explain to him, he will definitely understand. "
Tao Yaoyao grabbed Princess Anping's sleeve with an anxious look on her face. Seeing that she ignored him, she became even more anxious.
"You can't slander me like this. I really didn't mean it. Princess Anping, I don't care about today's events, but can you give me a message..."
"Stop dreaming. What is the identity of my Third Emperor brother? Who do you think you are? Don't overestimate your abilities."
