As for the person who sent the cup of chicken soup, Prince Rui immediately found out and immediately arrested him at Qingfengtai.
The mother-in-law knelt on the ground in fear, with a nervous and frightened look on her face. Facing the strong pressure of the man on the front seat, his eyes seemed to be embedded with ice, and they were projected onto her body, making her back and body feel cold and biting.
"I will give you the opportunity to tell yourself who ordered you to poison the chicken soup that was sent to Concubine Jiang yesterday." Prince Rui looked at her indifferently, with no emotion or warmth in his eyes, but a coldness that annihilated all life. .
He has killed many people, so he naturally doesn't care about the life of such a small person. He has been immersed in this kind of power struggle all year round. He has killed countless people and ordered to deal with countless people. When he looks up, he can see murderous intent.
How could the old woman withstand the pressure of King Rui? Lingchi's defense suddenly collapsed. She didn't want to be dragged out by King Rui to kill her, so she hurriedly kowtowed, "The princess asked me to do this, and the princess also gave me this poison." ."
Prince Rui naturally knew the answer, but after the woman said it, he couldn't help but get angry. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked again, "What else do you know? Tell me everything."
The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment. She was the person appointed by the princess in the kitchen. She had helped with many things since she entered the palace.
These things, all added up, are fatal.
She didn't dare to say that there was still room for improvement regarding Concubine Jiang, but if other things happened, she would definitely be dead.
Prince Rui didn't have much patience. He raised his hand gently, frowned slightly, and asked someone to take him down. He would be executed first.
He is in charge of the punishment department. There are twenty types of punishments, and there is always one that can make people break down and confess. He has never seen anyone who can endure all twenty punishments.
Fierce cries rang out in the yard, which seemed particularly terrifying in this silent night.
When it was almost done, she was dragged in. Her hands were stained with blood. She raised her eyes in fear and despair, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the old slave said that the old slave has followed the princess since the year she entered the palace. She Give me three hundred taels of silver every year so that I can do my job with peace of mind."
"What have you done?"
"Concubine Gao's previous child was caused by the princess asking the old slave to add a little safflower to her anti-fetal medicine. Adding some every day caused Concubine Gao to miscarry. Also, in Concubine Yang's meals, the princess gave her I gave it to her to cook big fish and meat, and also added some addictive drugs. She always wanted to eat, so that Concubine Yang became fatter and fatter as she ate. The child also grew bigger, making it difficult to give birth."
Even though he was mentally prepared, King Rui still felt terrible when he heard it. He had thought about it but didn't want to think so viciously, but he didn't expect that the reality was even more vicious than he thought.
"Continue." His voice was several degrees colder, and the mother-in-law was trembling even more when she heard it.
"In fact, the princess has been feeding the other concubines in the palace to avoid child soup for a long time, and she has not stopped until now. Therefore, the masters in the backyard have not been able to conceive a child."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Rui grabbed the tea cup and smashed it on the ground. His face was gloomy, his expression was cold and stern, and his eyes were full of anger. He didn't say anything, but his mother-in-law was so scared that she cowered and hid.
Then, he stood up and walked towards Qiluan Courtyard with anger.
Jiang Yushu was preparing to eat when she heard the servant come in and announce that the prince was coming. She quickly got up and prepared to greet him at the door.
Prince Rui walked in with an indifferent face and a solemn look. Jiang Yushu stepped forward to show a smile and was ready to greet him, but was startled by Prince Rui's attitude of not being close to strangers, and her smile froze.
But she knew that Prince Rui was angry because the visitor was unkind, so she immediately stepped forward with a low profile, poured him tea and handed it to him, "Your Majesty, who made you unhappy again?"
Prince Rui raised his eyes and looked at her quietly without taking the tea.
Jiang Yushu didn't know why, and was a little flustered by the sight, but she still pretended to be calm, forced out a smile, and asked tentatively, "But what did Concubine Lin do to make the prince unhappy? She is young and is the queen's niece. It’s inevitable that some people will be a bit unruly.”
Hearing this, Prince Rui laughed and slapped the tea out of her hand. The teacup shattered. Seeing this, Jiang Yushu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, calm down."
"Calm down? Do you still care if I am angry?" He looked at her sarcastically and asked.
Jiang Yushu was stunned. She didn't know why Prince Rui suddenly said that. Suddenly, a bad feeling arose in her heart.
Then, the people outside brought the old woman in and threw her next to Jiang Yushu. She was beaten again. The old woman was very weak at the moment. When she saw Jiang Yushu, there was light in her eyes and she immediately climbed forward. , "Princess, please save this old slave, save this old slave."
Jiang Yushu was frightened, screamed, and pushed the bloody slave away. She quickly stood up and hid next to Prince Rui.
"Don't you recognize this person, Princess?" Prince Rui asked coldly.
Jiang Yushu was very frightened. She stepped forward and took a look. She threw away her messy hair and the old lady rushed forward again, "Princess, you are a slave, you are the old lady."
After hearing this, Jiang Yushu was sure of the person. She was so frightened that she stepped back, but Prince Rui grabbed her hand and forced her to face Mrs. Wang's entanglement.
Jiang Yushu quickly knelt down, grabbed the hem of Prince Rui's clothes, and immediately burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on with me. Your Majesty, don't listen to the villain."
"Really? I haven't asked anything yet, and she hasn't said anything yet. Why did the princess start to explain? Is there something wrong in her heart?" Prince Rui asked with a smile.
When Jiang Yushu heard this and looked at Prince Rui's eyes, she knew that he had already interrogated him and that Mrs. Wang had also done so. She felt her scalp was numb and her body felt a little cold. She sat down and smiled bitterly. His expression was complicated and tangled, with tears shining in his eyes. He looked at Prince Rui aggrievedly, but said nothing.
"What do you have to say?" Prince Rui looked at her at this moment. When he saw her tearful eyes, he showed no pity at all. He just looked at her coldly.
"Hasn't the prince already examined her? Whatever she recruits, she will do it." Jiang Yushu took a deep breath, as if she was relieved, and was too lazy to pretend to be a virtuous person. .
When King Rui heard this, he was extremely disappointed and shook his head, "Why do you do this?"
"Don't you know how the prince has treated me over the years? Why do you think I am? I have only been in the palace for just a year. I am in a hurry to marry a concubine and have a concubine. I still have to pretend to be gentle. Virtuous, virtuous and virtuous people work for the prince, but these women, when they enter the palace, want to surpass me and replace me, doesn't the prince know?"
She was talking about Gao Yunwan, of course. From the time she entered the palace to the time she got pregnant, she felt aggrieved to be the concubine. Now, Lin Xuezhi, who was born higher, has come, and she, whose natal family has no help, has become her. stumbling block.
If the noble concubines give birth to their eldest son, they will have no place for themselves.
Prince Rui watched her gradually laugh crazily and frowned again.
