Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Yan Xueqi answered this way because she was sure that no one had seen her. The reason she was swearing at Yan Xining at that time was because there was no one around.

Although two people came over later, she quickly avoided them. The two people were talking and didn't see her.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she said this, Zou Yuhao and Du Wu both frowned.

"You're lying. When Qingyuan and I went over there, you had just come out of the pavilion!" Xiang Qing pointed out directly.

Yan Xueqi panicked. Weren't they talking? She had dodged so quickly, and even covered her face, so he shouldn't have recognized her.

She certainly couldn't admit that she lied: "Did Miss Xiang recognize the wrong person?"

Xiang Qing sneered, "Second Miss Yan, have you forgotten that you are wearing a Ruyi embroidered embroidered skirt with rippling water, worth a thousand taels, made by Madam Feng herself? Even if I can't recognize you, I can recognize your clothes!"

Yan Xueqi's face changed slightly. How could she have forgotten? Her clothes were very flamboyant.

She originally wanted to wear this dress to attract people's attention, but unexpectedly it became the key evidence that made others recognize only her.

She made up her mind and thought, it's just a cup, at worst she would compensate for it.

"I did go there! But I only spoke a few words to Yan Xining and then left."

At this time, a man in his forties came hurriedly, with someone behind him carrying a medicine box.

Zou Yuhao stepped forward and said, "Imperial Physician Liu, please come over!"

Imperial Physician Liu quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zou, you don't have to be polite. Is any of the nobles feeling unwell?" He spotted the Eighth Prince at a glance and hurried over to greet him.

Zou Yuhao got straight to the point: "Imperial Physician Liu is also quite knowledgeable about toxicology. Could you please take a look at the tea here?"

Imperial Physician Liu understood as soon as he heard it.

He went over, poured a cup of tea, and placed it on the table. He asked the medicine boy to open the medicine box. He first tried it with a silver needle, then took a small bottle, poured out a mung bean-sized medicine pill from it, and threw it into the teacup.

In the eyes of everyone, the cup of tea suddenly turned into a reddish-brown color.

Imperial Physician Liu looked at Zou Yuhao and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Is this tea poisonous?"

"Yes, it seems to be the legendary bone-melting pill." Imperial Physician Liu pondered: "This thing becomes colorless and odorless once it enters the water, making it difficult to detect. If you are poisoned by it, your mind will no longer be clear, and you will act on instinct, which is difficult to resist!"

What he said was obscure, but what was there that everyone present didn't understand?

The reason why the court doctor lost control was because he drank a cup of tea.

The atmosphere became more solemn.

Everyone looked at Yan Xueqi. Du Wu asked, "I don't know why Miss Yan put drugs in the tea and harmed my guests!"

Yan Xueqi opened her eyes wide: "Drug? What drug? I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense!"

But after her previous lies, no one believed her at this moment.

Yan Xueqi looked at those sharp eyes, especially when the Eighth Prince looked at her, his eyes were not only fierce but also seemed to be filled with poison. Thinking of what Liu the Imperial Physician had just said, she probably understood that something had happened.

Feeling a little uneasy, he hurriedly said, "Believe me, I really didn't do it!"

Du Wu didn't hesitate and said bluntly, "If it wasn't you, why would you stop your sister from drinking that cup of tea? You clearly knew there was something wrong with the tea, didn't you?"

Yan Xueqi felt completely wronged. If she had known there was something wrong with the tea, she would have poured the entire pot of tea into Yan Xining. She was eager to embarrass Yan Xining and to see her doomed. How could she stop her? How could she possibly do that?

"I don't know. Yan Xining instigated the relationship between me, Zhifei and Mingyu, which caused us to be unhappy. I went to settle the score with her and had a few words with her!" Yan Xueqi no longer cared about her own face at this time.

Although she is not very smart, she is not stupid either. One look at her attitude and you can tell that she cannot take the blame.

"Hehe, if you just had a few words with Princess An, why did you run away when you saw me and Qingyuan?" Xiang Qing wanted to slap Yan Xueqi twice when she thought that she still didn't know where Qingyuan was or how she was doing.

Yan Xueqi also felt aggrieved: "I don't want to run either, but Yan Xining, she hit me. Do you think I should say hello to you with her fingerprints on my face? Wouldn't you all laugh at me to death?"

As she spoke, she pointed to her left cheek and said, "Look, the fingerprints are still there. How could I lie?"

Then she saw that those people were looking at her as if she were an idiot.

Xiang Qing gritted her teeth. "Where are the marks of being beaten on your face? Are you still trying to quibble now?"

Yan Xueqi was stunned. Her face was still burning with pain, but there was no trace?

"Look carefully here!" Yan Xueqi was eager to prove herself and almost shoved her face into Xiang Qing's hands.

Xiang Qing was anxious and pulled her to the bronze mirror in the corner: "Look for yourself!"

Yan Xueqi also saw her face clearly in the mirror. Her face was indeed white and clean, without even a red mark, let alone fingerprints.

She stood there in a daze.

There were no fingerprints, no wonder no one believed what she said!

Damn redneck, how did he do that?

"Enough!" The Eighth Prince stared at her with an icy gaze. "How dare you plot against the prince? You're quite bold! Someone, take Miss Yan down and question her!"

Yan Xueqi was anxious: "I didn't do it, why don't you believe me? Everything I said is true!"

Two guards appeared from nowhere and walked towards Yan Xueqi.

Yan Xueqi was shocked. If she was dragged away, she would be even more confused.

She hurriedly shouted, "Eighth Prince, I've been wronged! I don't even know what the Bone-Dissolving Pill is."

At this moment, Imperial Physician Liu, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly whispered, "Your Highness, there's something I'm not sure whether I should say or not!"

The Eighth Prince was annoyed: "Speak!"

Imperial Physician Liu didn't say anything. Instead, he walked closer to him and lowered his voice so low that only the Eighth Prince could hear: "This... the Bone-Erosion Pill is a secret medicine of the royal family..."

The Eighth Prince turned around suddenly.

If it was the royal secret medicine, then Yan Xueqi would have no chance of getting it. Then, could everything that happened before really be a coincidence?

His eyes darkened and deepened. He pondered for several times in his heart, and it was difficult to breathe. He immediately turned his unfriendly eyes to Zou Yuhao: "Where is that girl? Did she confess?"

At this time, the person in charge of interrogating the maid came hurriedly.

Zou Yuhao asked hurriedly, "Can you recruit?"

The man replied, "She admitted that she knew everything. Last night, someone captured her parents and gave her a hundred taels of silver, telling her to do as they were told or they would be killed. Over an hour ago, someone told her to bring the young lady in the sky-blue dress who entered the pavilion to this dressing room!"

"Then why is she wearing this dress?"

"She explained that she had never worn such beautiful clothes before. Seeing that no one was around, she wanted to try them out. She didn't dare wear the clean clothes and only dared to wear the dirty clothes she had changed. She originally wanted to wear them quietly for a while and then take them off, but she didn't know how she passed out."

"Who was the person who informed her to take action? Was he caught?"

"We've already sent people to catch her! We've even found where she hid the silver, and it's exactly as she said. The amount of silver matches."

Yan Xueqi exhaled: "I already said it wasn't me, now you believe it, right? Why don't you let me go!"

"Even if you didn't drug me, you know the truth, and you're full of lies. Let's interrogate you first!" The Eighth Prince's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth. He wouldn't let a suspicious person go!
