Lin Wanqing was clutching the corner of her clothes tightly at this time,
Lin Wanru turned her head and saw this scene. What she was thinking in her heart was probably true.
"Wanqing, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Wanru asked pretending to be concerned.
"It's nothing, it's just that the night is cold and I can't help but shiver from the cold."
Xuanyuan Yi saw Lin Wanru caring about Lin Wanqing and turned to look at her.
Seeing these two people, Lin Wanqing felt even more guilty. She felt numb all over her body and didn't know what to do.
She didn't expect Lin Wanru to find out her poisoning tool so quickly.
But why are there two? She obviously only got one.
"Since no one came forward to admit it, I will try one by one."
Lin Wanru took out the things she had prepared in advance.
It was a box with a hole in it and a lot of paper balls prepared in advance.
"Everyone should know that I know magic. I was able to use my magic power to save the prince before."
Maid, mother-in-law and boy: "I know..."
Everyone shouted.
"This thing is made by me with my demonic power. Each of you can take one. There are different colors inside. Don't open it.
I will check them one by one. If any of you lied about the questions I asked, the paper ball in your hand will turn into the color of lying. "
After everyone took one, Lin Wanru began to prepare to ask questions one by one.
Of course, this also includes Lin Wanqing, Liuli Chuntao, and Xuanyuan Yi.
Lin Wanru walked up to them with a smile on her face.
"Everyone who has entered the kitchen today should stand in front. If there is anyone who doesn't stand, you can report to me directly."
A few dozen people in the crowd walked to the front,
Lin Wanqing also consciously stepped forward to line up.
"What's your name? What did you do in the kitchen today?"
"Back to Princess, this slave has been picking and washing vegetables in the kitchen today."
Lin Wanru looked at her eyes carefully to make sure she was not lying.
He took the paper from the maid's hand, opened it, read it, and announced the result pretending to be serious.
"With your suspicions eliminated, you can go back."
The second one is a boy.
"What did you do in the kitchen today?"
"Back to Princess, today I'm in charge of cleaning in the kitchen."
The boy's eyes hesitated and wandered around.
Lin Wanru looked into his eyes and knew that he was lying.
He took the note from the boy's hand, looked at it and said:
"You're lying. Someone, arrest him."
"Yes." The guard violently took the boy into custody.
The boy was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Princess, please forgive me. I admit that I was lazy today. I slipped out of the kitchen to take some time off. But I really didn't do anything poisoning. Please believe me, Princess."
Lin Wanru ignored it.
Although Xuanyuan Yi didn't understand the principle of paper balls, seeing that Lin Wanru could really tell the truth from what these people said, he felt more and more that he, the princess, was very smart.
"What are you doing in the kitchen today?"
"In reply to the princess, this servant is responsible for steaming the steamed buns."
Lin Wanru carefully looked at the old woman's eyes again and made sure there was nothing wrong.
"Okay, you didn't lie, the paper ball hasn't changed color, you can leave."
Next was Lin Wanqing. When Lin Wanqing saw the people in front of her, they were all tested to see if they were telling the truth.
When it was her turn, she became more and more nervous.
"elder sister..."
Lin Wanqing felt a little guilty and called out softly.
"What did you do in the kitchen today?"
"I... I'm in the kitchen... helping my sister make desserts. My sister is afraid of the pain after taking tonics, so I made more desserts today. Those desserts are still in the kitchen. I made a lot of them."
Lin Wanqing saw Lin Wanru staring at her and avoided her eyes with a guilty look.
Lin Wanru took the paper ball in Lin Wanqing's hand and said:
"How can you lie!"
Lin Wanru's voice was a little cold, and her voice was amplified a lot.
Lin Wanqing, who was already feeling guilty and nervous, was so frightened by Lin Wanru's roar that she knelt down.
"Sister, it's not me, it's not me..."
"What if it's not you?" Xuanyuan Yi came over quickly when he saw this.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't my concubine who harmed her, I didn't poison her."
"I am already a nun in the kitchen. Aunt said, you are the last person to leave the kitchen today. You did not poison, but you used poison to cook the tableware used by the concubines. All the concubines did not test it before eating it. It’s poisonous, but when you eat it, you’ll get poisoned only if your lips come into contact with the tableware, right?”
Lin Wanru asked in a firm voice.
"No, no, it's not me... I just want her to have a miscarriage, I don't want to harm her!"
Lin Wanqing spoke out in desperation.
The crowd was in an uproar, and there were whispers of laughter and discussion.
For a moment, Lin Wanqing felt like she was surrounded by comments and accusations.
"Tell me, how did you poison the concubine? Even if the prince and I have already found out that it was you, you still have to tell it yourself, so that you will not be wronged."
Lin Wanru glanced at Xuanyuan Yi.
Xuanyuan Yi immediately understood: "The king has actually sent people to investigate. Although we have found out that you were the poisoner, because you are the princess's sister and the second lady of the general's palace, we still have to save some face for you. I think You can admit it to yourself, but you still let people down."
Lin Wanqing was kneeling on the ground, already so frightened that she kept sobbing.
"I said, I said..."
Lin Wanqing wiped her tears and adjusted her mood.
She can admit it if she did it, but she will never admit it if she didn't do it.
"Before, the concubine always framed my sister, and I was really angry, but the concubine still flattered my sister with her belly full.
Knowing that she has no good intentions, my sister can only endure it. Could it be that she framed her and King Wen, and pulled her into the pool, and she has forgotten about it? She is obviously trying to harm you, why didn't your sister say she won't resist? "
Lin Wanqing said while crying, even if she harmed Shangguan Yue'er, she would still take Lin Wanru with her.
She knew that Xuanyuan Yi had a deep affection for Lin Wanru. As long as she said that she was doing all this for Lin Wanru,
Xuanyuan Yi would never be cruel to himself.
"That's all my own business, why should you ignore it?"
Lin Wanru asked in disbelief.
Xuanyuan Yi pulled Lin Wanru and said, "Princess, don't worry, let her finish."
"Because I feel sorry for my sister. Do you want me to see my eldest sister being bullied by the concubine all the time? Moreover, I...I didn't want to kill the concubine, I just boiled her tableware with the soup. In five hours, even if she drank poisoning, she would only have a miscarriage, so how could she be so poisoned that she almost died?"
Lin Wanru directly took out the teacup and bowl and placed them in front of Lin Wanqing.
"You said you only cooked the tableware, so what happened to the tea cup? Do you want to say that it was not your fault?"
