The moon falling to the ground

This is too torturous, I might as well just die, ahhhh…

The two of them had a mental breakdown and burst into tears.

Finally, Xie Chujiao couldn't bear it any longer and gave each of them a piece of ice. The two of them thanked her profusely and felt like they had been reborn.

The next morning, the second prince Ji Yunxuan "accidentally" met Yan Xinning who was collecting flower dew in the garden.

Yan Xinning was wearing a low-cut pink and white skirt, with a bunch of pink and white flowers pinned on her black and shiny braids. Her slender white neck exuded a pearly luster. Standing among the flowers, she looked like a fairy who had strayed into the human world.

The second prince, who was taking a morning walk, looked at this beautiful woman among flowers, and his Adam's apple moved unconsciously.

Huamei turned around and saw the Second Prince, and knelt down hurriedly: "Your servant greets His Royal Highness."

Yan Xinning, who was concentrating on collecting flower dew, turned her head gracefully. There was a moment of panic on her face, like a frightened deer. She hurriedly walked out of the flowers and came over to greet him: "Xinning, the daughter of Lord Yan, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Prince." She bowed gracefully.

The second prince held her up with his hand, smiling: "Miss Xinning, there is no need to be polite. I am sorry to bother you."

Through the thin silk skirt, Yan Xinning's skin touched her, and she stepped back in panic as if she was scalded by hot water. Her face was rosy and she was shy, revealing the innocence and sweetness of a young girl.

The second prince was so excited that he developed several different emotions.

"Don't be afraid. I mean no offense." His voice softened unconsciously.

Yan Xinning raised her eyes and secretly glanced at him, smiled shyly, and whispered: "Xinning is not afraid, but I am nervous when I see someone as distinguished as His Highness."

This sentence somehow pleased the second prince, and he grinned. The atmosphere between the two of them immediately became warm.

"What is Miss Xinning going to do with the flower dew?"

"Mother hurt her face. I heard that using flower dew to cleanse the face can help with recovery, so I want to collect some for her."

"Well, Xinning is such a filial girl."

When the news reached Xie Chujiao's ears, she couldn't help but sneer after being tossed around all night: "Xinning is really too bold, she actually wants to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix without telling me. Humph! She doesn't even think about who gave her this wealth and glory. She wants to get rid of my control, she's dreaming!"

"Since she wants to show her filial piety, let her collect a bowl of flower dew every day and send it to me. Tell her that it will only be effective if she collects it herself."

Nanny Liang went to Xuexiangyuan in person to convey Xie Chujiao's words.

Yan Xinning, who was feeling complacent about hooking up with the Second Prince, was struck by lightning. It took her a while to realize that her mother was angry because she had private contact with the Second Prince.

How early do you have to get up to fill a bowl of floral dew?

Yan Xinning looked extremely unhappy, she wanted to cry but had no tears, secretly regretting finding such an excuse. She should have known that the title of mother was not so easy to use.

Shortly after breakfast, the county government sent someone to summon her for questioning. Magistrate He still took the mansion owner's face into consideration and allowed Xie Chujiao to go to the county government in a carriage with her face covered.

In court, even though Xie Chujiao and the two maids were wearing veils, Magistrate He still saw the same pustules on the eyebrows of the three people as Min Shi. Moreover, there was an irresistible, nauseating stench.

With such obvious evidence, it would be hard to say that the case of framing Jian Zhaodi had nothing to do with the mansion master's wife, unless the plaque of fairness and integrity was written backwards.

Doctor Mao came, took a look at the pustules on Xie Chujiao's eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "I hope that County Magistrate He will not fear power, and conduct a fair and just trial to clear my disciple's name." After that, he asked the yamen runners to bring him a chair to sit on.

He Zhixian, who was trying to survive in the cracks: ...They are all big Buddhas, I can’t afford to offend any of them.

Magistrate He wiped the sweat off his forehead and slammed the gavel: "Who is here?"

Xie Chujiao stood proudly, not even blinking: "My name is Yan Xie."

He, the county magistrate, said: "Min confessed that you were the one who sent the corpse to the door of Yue's house, and you were the one who instigated Min to falsely accuse Jian Zhaodi. Do you admit your guilt?"

Xie Chujiao looked calm: "I am innocent. I have never done anything wrong."

Ruyi, who followed, knelt down slowly with a pale face: "My lord, I did everything, it has nothing to do with Madam. I resented that the young master was punished with whipping because of Jian Zhaodi, so I wanted to teach her a lesson and vent the anger for the young master. So I took the initiative to pay the Chufeng Pavilion's young prostitute Wu Wenkai to seduce Jian Zhaodi. Unexpectedly, she saw through it, and she poisoned Wu Wenkai and killed him. I thought of using the dead to ruin her reputation. Who knew her poison was so vicious that it could infect people who came into contact with Wu Wenkai. After I was infected, I infected Madam and Biyu. They are innocent."

Ruyi had tears in her eyes and her wife's words echoed in her ears: Ruyi, go with peace of mind. I will take good care of your family and ensure they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Before Magistrate He could say anything, he heard Divine Doctor Mao sneer, "A mere maidservant in the mansion can mobilize a group of people to work for her. She is really amazing. Lord He, I want to perform an autopsy. If you want to throw dirty water on my disciples, it depends on whether I agree or not."

Xie Chujiao was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on the surface. If the imperial physician couldn't cure the abscess on her face, she would have to rely on this greasy old man!

Magistrate He had been troubled by the cause of death, and Dr. Mao's initiative to perform an autopsy was exactly what he wanted. So he immediately asked the yamen runners to bring the body up.

Wu Wenkai's body had been kept in ice and showed no signs of decay, but severe livor mortis had already appeared.

Doctor Mao covered his face with a scarf, put on gloves made of white cloth, and used tweezers to pry open Wu Wenkai's eyelids to check the color of his eyeballs.

After a moment, he concluded: "Wu Wenkai was poisoned by a rare drug called Zuimenghuan. The poisoned person will die with a smile on his face as if he was drunk. This poison comes from the witch tribe of the Baiyue Kingdom. But this strange poison must be taken orally to be fatal, and it will kill you as soon as you take it. Lord He, can the suspicion of my disciple poisoning someone be cleared?"

Magistrate He nodded quickly: "Jian Yue did not have the time to commit the crime. Ruyi's evidence that Jian Yue poisoned Wu Wenkai is not valid."

When Dr. Mao was young, he traveled to the Baiyue Kingdom and knew that there was a very evil witch tribe in the Baiyue Kingdom. The most famous poison of the witch tribe was Zuimenghuan.

When Wu Wenkai's body was carried to the door of Yue's house, Jian Yue saw at a glance that he was poisoned. However, this poison was called Qianrizui in her time and space, but it was called Zuimenghuan here. After she described the toxicity and symptoms of the poison to Doctor Mao, Doctor Mao thought of the witch cult's Zuimenghuan.

Snapped!

He Zhixian slammed the gavel and said, "You rude and shameless maid, where did you get Zui Meng Huan from? Tell the truth."

Ruyi smiled miserably: "I bought you from a merchant from the Baiyue Country. Now that the truth has been revealed, I know that I have committed a grave sin, so I will die to atone for my sin."

A dagger slipped out from Ruyi's sleeve, and before anyone could react...
