Lin Ruoyou did not ask first, but stared at her coldly.

She hurriedly kowtows vigorously: "Miss Lin, don't embarrass me! I am just the person serving the young lady. I know everything!"

She knocked hard and fast, but within a moment, her forehead was already bruised and swollen.

Lin Ruoyou said in a deep voice: "You are loyal, but you can't get away with it in front of me. You'd better hand over the teacup obediently, otherwise I will never let you go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms.

Shiqi asked in panic: "What is this?"

Lin Ruoyou raised her finger at her mysteriously and said, "Shh, don't scream so loudly. If you startle it and it bites you, you won't be able to survive or die!"

After all, Shi Qi had been carefully cultivated. Even though she was extremely scared in her heart, she still insisted on arguing: "Miss Lin, why do you want to scare me? Your father and my master are officials in the same court. Do you have to let me Is the relationship between the two families on the same level?"

Lin Ruoyou snorted coldly: "If your lady is not evil-hearted, why should I waste my time interrogating you? Do you think I am willing to let the little things out and bite people randomly?"

When the bottle cap was opened, Shi Qi saw a red ant sticking its little head out.

Lin Ruoyou whispered in her ear: "This is called a man-eating ant. It loves to drink human bones and blood. Once you are bitten by it, your whole body will be itchy, numb, swollen and painful. No medicine can cure it, until your whole body festers and dies." , I’m actually very reluctant to use this little thing for you, after all, you’re pretty pretty, so it’s really a pity!”

Shi Qi almost fainted from shock. She had seen what vicious women looked like, like Song Yuluo who beat and scolded her, but she had never encountered such a gentle and virtuous woman on the surface, but the words she spoke seemed to come from The devil crawling out of hell!

In an instant, strong fear seeped out from the seams in her bones. She fell to the ground with tears streaming down her face and begged: "Miss Lin, please forgive me!"

Lin Ruoyou said calmly: "If you want forgiveness, tell the truth quickly. My patience is really limited!"

Just as Shi Qi was about to explain, she heard a sudden knock on the door: "Lin Ruoyou, the imperial concubine is here. You cannot abuse lynching. Open the door quickly!"

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Yu's cold voice came: "Miss Lin, let me interrogate her personally!"

Lin Ruoyou's eyes flashed with a chill, and in case something happened, she suddenly grabbed Shi Qi's collar and threatened: "If you don't say anything, I will kill you immediately!"

Shiqi replied anxiously: "The evidence is under the plum tree next to the lotus pond!"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the door collapsed.

Song Yuluo quickly ran to Shi Qi and reached out to help her up.

Concubine Yu frowned and looked at Lin Ruoyou: "Why are you disobedient? My son was burned because of you. Shouldn't you be with him to take care of him at this time?"

Lin Ruoyou replied calmly: "Reporting to the imperial concubine, it is more important to find the real culprit, what do you think?"

Concubine Yu gritted her teeth and asked in a cold voice: "Then what did you ask from this maid?"

She nodded: "Asked, I'll go look for evidence right now!"

After saying that, she quickly walked out.

Song Yuluo suddenly glared at Shi Qi. She cried and shook her head: "Miss, I was threatened by her. I didn't mean to say it!"

Song Yuluo raised her lips contemptuously: "Say, you did everything anyway. I just mislead Lin Ruoyou. At most, I will be charged with being careless. The imperial concubine will definitely Protect me with all your strength!”

She didn't care how ugly Shi Qi's face was, she just followed him.

Soon Lin Ruoyou got the tea bowl that was buried under the plum tree. After examination by the imperial doctor, the remaining residue at the bottom of the bowl was kerosene residue.

Concubine Jade was so angry that she wanted to kill Shiqi with a stick on the spot.

But Lin Ruoyou stopped her: "My dear concubine, how can she, a little maid, dare to harm people at the banquet held by the eldest princess? There must be someone behind her!"

Song Yuluo knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and said: "It's all my fault. I forgot that she had served the eldest sister before. Because she hated Miss Lin at the previous palace banquet, she had a revengeful mentality this time. She was originally I wanted my servant to spill the tea bowl on Miss Lin, but unexpectedly, I was stopped by Prince An!"

The Queen next to her said something secretly: "His Royal Highness, Prince An, protects each other with his name, which is really admirable!"

Xiao Rui also followed up with a last strike: "If you want me, I won't stand in the way. After all, this woman has nothing to do with me. I don't care whether she lives or dies!"

Concubine Yu's expression was complicated and ugly. She turned to look at Lin Ruoyou, wanting to hear her explanation. Did she dare to deny this life-saving grace in front of everyone?

However, before she could speak, Xiao Sheng had already walked over with the emperor.

He said coldly: "Lin Ruoyou is King An's future aunt, and he protects her for me. Who among you dares to have any objections?"

The cold eyes like sharp knives swept across the whole place, instantly making everyone subconsciously breathe softly.

Concubine Jade's eyes suddenly turned red. She staggered a few steps and threw herself into the emperor's arms: "Your Majesty, what will happen to our An'er in the future? I'm afraid he will have scars on his back!"

The emperor comforted him in a gentle voice: "I have gone to see him. It is true that his skin and flesh were injured. Fortunately, his muscles and bones were not injured. He will recover after a few days of nursing. A man must go through experience before he can achieve great things!"

Not to mention Concubine Yu's heart was filled with panic after hearing this, even the Queen and Xiao Rui's expressions changed suddenly.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?Could it be that he no longer concealed his intention to establish King An as the heir apparent?

Neither mother nor son spoke, and the scene was eerily silent.

Until Xiao Sheng said quietly: "I have just gone to investigate in person. Xiaoguan Huoyou was brought into the princess's mansion by Miss Song. She ordered the maid to bury her in the back garden and wait for an opportunity to murder her. Therefore, she is the mastermind. She can directly punish her. Kill him as a warning to others!"

Song Yuluo retorted in a hissing voice: "Prince Regent, you are so partial to Lin Ruoyou, aren't you afraid of the ridicule of the world? Don't say that I didn't harm her, even if I deliberately plotted against her, wouldn't she be safe and sound? Why do you want to fight? Kill me? That’s not fair!”

Xiao Sheng raised the corners of his lips coldly. Fortunately, the boy An Wang blocked the disaster for the little girl.

If it was really her who was burned, he was afraid not to kill everyone in the Song family.

At the moment, he only wants Song Yuluo's life, which is already very merciful.

He ordered in a deep voice: "Why are you still standing there? Do you want me to execute her personally?"

The secret guards on both sides did not dare to hesitate anymore and quickly stepped forward to cover Song Yuluo's mouth.

She was really scared out of her mind. She originally thought that everything would be blamed on that bitch Shi Qi, and that she would be able to escape unscathed by then.

But he didn't expect that the regent had already found out everything.

She was asked to take full responsibility without any explanation, but she didn’t want to die!
