Here, Chun Mian has returned to the house and placed the basin on the table.
The eyes of the palace maids shifted one after another, almost impatient to go up and prove themselves.
Lin Qingwan pointed towards the back, "Everyone come one by one, don't be anxious. As long as you didn't do it, you won't be wronged."
After saying this, the maids spontaneously formed a long queue, and the eunuchs were at the end of the queue.
The first one stepped forward and soaked his hands, then wiped them with a handkerchief and showed them to everyone.
The hands are clean, nothing.
The second one continued, just like that, the third and fourth ones went up, and there was still no yellow on the hand.
Lin Qingwan's peripheral vision always stayed on Princess Yuanmin. She deliberately turned her head to look at Xuan Qianchen, "Xuan Qianchen, what are you going to do after you find out?"
Xuan Qianchen's eyes were very cold. If he had a long sword, he would probably strike directly at the person who poisoned him.
His voice was also like ice slag in the cold winter, making people tremble uncontrollably. "Since she is unwilling to admit it, I will ask her to live and die."
"Oh? What is the specific way to survive without seeking death?"
When asked this question, Xuan Qianchen did not answer directly. Instead, Qingfeng, who had arrived late, stood at the door, glanced at his master, and then said word by word: "Cut off the hands and feet, and shut in the water." In prison until he dies of natural causes."
"Water prison?" Lin Qingwan was really curious now. What was the legendary water prison?
"Water Prison, as the name suggests, immerses a person completely in water, leaving only the area above the chest. Drops of water will fall from the top of his head, hitting his head and heart. People locked in the water prison cannot move freely, let alone sleep, because When Meimei falls asleep, cold water drops will fall on his face, and fear and exhaustion will surround him at the same time. Eventually, his spirit will collapse, and he will become different from human beings and ghosts from ghosts."
Qingfeng said while looking towards Chun Mian, as if he was deliberately intimidating.
Chun Mian frowned, probably frightened by these words, and subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Lin Qingwan.
Lin Qingwan noticed something was wrong with this girl and reached out to touch her shoulder to comfort her.
"So that's it..." the woman murmured.
That's really cruel, and it won't be a happy death.
"Did everyone hear it?" She looked up at the other people in the room, and then continued to ask Xuan Qianchen, "What if that person admitted it before the test? Is this also the case?"
Xuan Qianchen originally wanted to nod, but when he saw the woman slightly raising her eyebrows at him, she seemed to want him to cooperate. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, but thinking of his mother's condition, he finally took a deep breath and said: "If I admit it, I can spare his life. It's just that he will never be able to enter the palace again for eternity."
The contrast between the two is so obvious that anyone with a brain would probably not choose the former.
Lin Qingwan's eyes fell on Princess Yuanmin. Princess Yuanmin was obviously anxious at this moment. Her throat moved slightly, and she was probably gambling.
Seeing the maids and eunuchs leaving the table one by one, with no color on their hands, until the last person showed his hands to everyone, Xuan Qianchen couldn't help but pursed his lips and looked at Lin Qingwan, as if he wanted to ask her What the hell is going on.
But Lin Qingwan only looked sideways, staring directly at Princess Yuanmin, "Okay, now that the people around Concubine Jing have been eliminated, the next one is Princess Yuanmin."
"Sister Princess, you...what are you talking about? How could I harm my aunt?" Princess Yuanmin reacted very strongly, almost subconsciously retreating, and quickly explained to herself.
But Lin Qingwan just blinked, "Why is the princess reacting so much? I just asked the people around the princess to come and check, but I didn't say it was the princess who poisoned me!"
Realizing that she had been tricked, Princess Yuanmin tightened her brows and seemed to be gritting her teeth.
She lowered her head slightly, then changed her gaze, "Brother Qianchen, do I want to investigate too? Do you doubt me too? I grew up with my parents, how could I harm her?"
"The princess doesn't know it, and the people around the princess may not know it. After all, money can make all the difference. If someone wants to harm Concubine Jing, anyone can take advantage of it." Before Xuan Qianchen could speak, Lin Qingwan just blurted it out.
"Don't worry, Princess, not only you need to be checked, but I and the people around me also need to be checked." She strode to the side of the basin, put her hand directly in, soaked it, took it out and wiped it with a handkerchief. Show it to everyone.
Chun Mian had never done this before, so naturally she didn't feel guilty and almost followed Lin Qingwan's actions.
Seeing the master and servant being so frank, Xuan Qianchen was a little surprised. He originally had some doubts about Lin Qingwan.
"Okay, the princess is here for you."
But Princess Yuanmin stood there without moving. She blinked her eyes, and tears quickly fell down from the corners of her eyes. "Brother Qianchen, do you also doubt me?"
"Princess, what does this mean? Where is the doubt now? Everyone in the palace has been tested, including me. If you don't want people to doubt, then put your hand in the basin and try it. Everything will be true. I understand. The princess seems a little guilty when she says this."
Lin Qingwan spoke with a smile and crossed her arms across her chest, feeling even more certain that Princess Yuanmin was behind it.
I just ask Xuan Qianchen not to do anything wrong at this time, and not to soften your heart just because of this woman's few tears, otherwise she will really go crazy.
Fortunately, this man's mind is obviously still somewhat clear-headed. Looking at Princess Yuanmin's somewhat flinching look, he already has some doubts in his heart, "Yuanmin, she is right. You can tell just by putting her hands in the basin." As a result, just come over and give it a try. Once you try it, won’t the truth come out?”
Princess Yuanmin knew Xuan Qianchen very well. Seeing the man's expression, she knew that if she didn't give it a try today, she might not give up.
But……
The image of herself handing gardenia pollen to the maid next to her flashed through her mind, and what Xuan Qianchen said just now flashed through her mind. Her whole body became a little stiff, and her legs seemed to have been filled with lead water, and they could not move no matter what. No.
Concubine Jing has always been the person Xuan Qianchen cared about the most. If he knew that he had really done something about it, it would be completely over.
She forced a smile and said, "I just think that my aunt and I are so close that there is no need to do these tests. If brother Qianchen and sister Wangfei don't believe me, then I will prove it to you."
