The man on the ground moved his fingers slightly and slowly opened his eyes. He took a deep breath and met Xuan Qianchen's eyes when he raised his head.
A feeling of guilt suddenly surged up from his back. The butcher quickly got up and knelt on the ground. He stammered and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Xiao Yebai's anger had reached its peak at this moment, especially when he knew that Princess Yuanmin would probably not be able to get pregnant again in this life, his whole scalp felt numb.
In this era, a woman's reputation is even more important than her life, let alone such a humble person...
Lin Qingwan was very calm, staring directly at the person kneeling on the ground, "Tell me why you appeared in the palace? And why are you in bed with the princess?"
The butcher trembled and his throat moved, "I...I..."
Now he can no longer quibble. He actually slept with Princess Yuanmin uncontrollably? Now that he has been discovered by the prince, it is all over now that he has fallen into this situation!
Recalling that his purpose in entering the palace was to destroy Lin Qingwan's innocence, his expression instantly became firm and he stretched out a finger to point at Lin Qingwan, "It was she...she was the one who brought me and Lin Qingwan together." The princess was knocked unconscious and thrown onto the bed together, Your Majesty, she did all of this."
After hearing this, Xiao Yebai turned around instantly, his eyes were a bit colder, and he looked straight at Lin Qingwan, "Lin Qingwan!"
"The prince still has that kind of character. He just believes what others say. Isn't my explanation just now enough?" Compared to the man, Lin Qingwan was extremely calm. She slowly walked towards the butcher, and then squatted down on him. in front of.
She reached into the butcher's clothes. The butcher subconsciously stepped back, and Xiao Yebai also frowned.
"What are you hiding from? Are you afraid that I will find something on you?" The woman spoke immediately, her tone and demeanor were scary.
The butcher shook his head, "No...no."
"Then what are you afraid of?" Lin Qingwan pursued him relentlessly and took out the packet of medicinal powder from his body. "This packet of medicinal powder was given to you by them, right? Is it what she said... the fake death medicine?"
Lin Qingwan turned around and pointed at Princess Yuanmin's maid. The maid was sitting in the corner, her eyes full of fear. She didn't know whether she was worried about her own fate or the fate of her family.
After being exposed, the butcher froze on the spot for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Lin Qingwan couldn't help but sneer, "I really don't know whether to call you stupid or stupid. You do such a life-saving thing for them, do you really believe that they will let you go?"
She opened the packet of powder, put it to her nose and smelled it.
As expected, it was a highly toxic poison.
With that said, she directly dragged the maid in the corner to the two of them and handed the powder to her hand, "Since it is a fake death medicine, do you dare to take it and show it to him?"
The maidservant obviously still had some consciousness in her body. She shook her head desperately and tried to break free from Lin Qingwan's hand but couldn't.
"Look, she doesn't even dare to take it herself, so how can she give you the medicine to bring you back to life? Do you really think they can let you leave Jincheng and still give you so much gold? You have their leverage, if you don't kill You’re almost there.”
Hearing these words, the butcher's pupils dilated slightly, with a hint of panic flashing in them, and then he quickly looked at the maid, "This... what kind of medicine is this?"
Xiao Yebai didn't expect that things would develop like this. He frowned and looked at Lin Qingwan with a cold light.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Lin Qingwan, what exactly do you know?"
"It's not what I know, but what the princess has done." Lin Qingwan looked calmly, "If you still choose to protect her, not only will your life be at risk, but other things will probably be involved. You have to think carefully about it."
After finishing speaking, he looked back at Xiao Yebai and said, "The prince has always been a person who can distinguish right from wrong. If you tell him everything, he might be able to spare your life. If you are still here using clever words and falsely accusing others at will, even if the prince Let you go, and I won’t let you go. I’m afraid they didn’t tell you that I was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister’s Palace when they let you enter the palace.”
"Do you think the Prime Minister's Mansion can't deal with a little butcher? So you'd better be nice and don't lie here."
Hearing these words, the depths of the butcher's eyes were full of fear. He licked his lips subconsciously, and almost instantly, he knelt down in front of Xiao Yebai, "Your Majesty, I said... I said everything!"
"Just a few days ago, that girl suddenly found me." The butcher pointed at Princess Yuanmin's maid, "She said she had something to do for me, and she would let me sleep with a maid for free. You will give me ten taels of gold and then let me leave the capital."
"As soon as I heard about such a good thing, I quickly agreed. A few days ago, the princess asked me to enter the palace. I have been living in a side courtyard for the past few days. Today, the girl suddenly brought me here and asked me to be with you. The princess had sex.”
"I'm too timid to do such a thing, but the girl said that the matter has reached this point, and if I don't do it, it will be a dead end, so I... I just wanted to give it a try. The powder the princess held in her hand just now is The girl gave it to me. She said it was a medicine for resurrecting the dead. As long as I take it, I can enter a state of suspended animation. They will find a way to send me out of the palace and gave me a piece of gold."
"I... I was so obsessed that I agreed to what they said. Who knew... who knew that things would develop to this point. Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Please forgive me! The villain was also forced to have no choice. Just now I I was a little bit flinched, but the girl said that if I leave now, there will definitely be no body left. I admit that I like to take advantage of it, but I really don’t dare to do such a thing!"
Lin Qingwan knew that this would be the case after she made the whole story clear. Her tone became even colder and she turned her head to look at Xiao Yebai, "You don't believe what I said, but what about what others said? A few days ago, you and I were confronting each other in the garden, and we happened to see the maid next to Princess Yuanmin bringing this man to the palace."
"I asked one more question at the time, and the maid said she was a carpenter. She just came to the palace to get a few drawings and went back to make some things for the princess to play with. Is this how she played?"
The matter has developed to this point, and the human and physical evidence are there. Even if Xiao Yebai doesn't believe it, there is nothing he can do.
He turned around and stared directly at Lin Qingwan, "So you knew from the beginning? You did all this just to set up a trap for me and let this butcher tell me the truth? Lin Qingwan, you Women are so vicious!"
