Soft and crispy waist

No one dared to hide anything, and they all told out everything they knew without delay.

The pieces were quickly pieced together.

The two white jade cups were made by Liu Ye, who was by Xue Wuyang's side, from the mansion. They were so realistic that people who didn't know there was a mark on the bottom couldn't tell the difference.

The people in the kitchen didn't know what was inside. Xue Wuyang brought the blood swallows herself and told them to stew the blood swallows with milk and fresh flowers and serve it in a white jade bowl. They did as they were told and put it in.

At this point, it still cannot be confirmed whether Xue Wuyang put the poison in the soup bowl.

Until the maid who knocked over the soup bowl spoke.

"I dare not lie. Concubine Xue hid a deadly poison in the soup bowl with the intention of murdering Concubine Wei and Concubine Xia."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xue Wuyang couldn't believe this had happened. "You're just a waiter, what do you know? How dare you slander me? I... I'll rip your mouth off!"

"I don't know, but my sister does! You were the one who gave her the poison to put in the jade cup!"

"Your sister?" Xue Wuyang looked at Liu Ye beside her in confusion.

Liu Ye looked at the maid and saw that she seemed to remember who her sister was. Her face turned pale and she said hurriedly, "I gave the medicine to Ye Xin. It's not poison. It was given by the sorcerer."

"Why are you pretending? You know what kind of medicine it is better than anyone else. My sister worked for you, and you killed her to silence her! If my sister hadn't left a letter, I would still work for you! Xue Wuyang, we sisters have been following you since we were young, and you are so vicious! You are not a human being!"

"You are slandering me! I didn't kill Ye Xin, Ye Xin..." Thinking back, Xue Wuyang had indeed not seen Ye Xin for two days, but she was so focused on this matter that she didn't ask.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, this is a letter from my sister. This is the remaining medicine. The letter said that there are still some left in Xue Wuyang's room. At first, I didn't know it was poison, so I didn't dare to act rashly.

However, I, a servant who had received favors from Concubine Xia, knew there was something wrong with the soup bowl, so I deliberately overturned it. After seeing Concubine Wei collapse, I realized it was a deadly poison. My sister also died from it. I beg Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Concubine, to make the decision."

The nanny took the letter and handed it to ***'s side. After *** took a look at it, the nanny passed it to Tao Yurong.

Tao Yurong looked at Xue Wuyang with deep disappointment after seeing this. "Someone, bring Xia Zheng's clothes for inspection."

"I deserve to die." As soon as Tao Yurong finished speaking, Xia Zheng timidly stepped forward, lowering her head as if she had done something wrong and whispered, "I like that dress and want to wear it tomorrow for the New Year. I told Shuangxue to take it to the laundry room as soon as I changed it. I'm afraid it's already been washed by now."

Hearing Xia Zheng's words, Tao Yurong's eyes flashed with anger, but in front of the emperor, she could only suppress it quickly and said, "Send someone to take a look first, and wash it. Madam Niu, take people to search Linyuan Pavilion!"

Upon hearing that her room was to be searched, Xue Wuyang came to her senses and shouted at the top of her lungs, "No, I didn't leave any medicine behind. It was those sisters! They deliberately framed me and replaced my medicine!"

"You mean, my sister stabbed herself twenty times in order to frame you?" The maid's hoarse questioning made Xue Wuyang unable to refute for a moment.

"We are the Xue family's illegitimate children. We have been with you since we were five years old, Third Miss! What good would it be for us to frame you? I ask you! Ask you!"

"If it's not you? Then it must be someone else! Princess, someone must have framed me!"

"Who framed you?" ***'s low voice made everyone quiet down.

Xue Wuyang wanted to tell her who it was, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of anyone who could harm her so perfectly.

"From what I know, you nearly caused my concubine to have a miscarriage the night you entered the mansion. You've had numerous affairs with Wei since then. You were responsible for hosting the banquet where they were assassinated. You even argued with the Crown Princess about not working for her anymore. And now you've taken the initiative to host this banquet. There's no sign of someone else's handiwork anywhere."

"I..." Xue Wuyang had no way to defend herself and could only watch Nanny Niu lead people towards her yard.

She stood there, listening to the screams in the house, not knowing how it turned out like this. She clearly just wanted them to both have daughters, so that when Gu Yizi came back she would have a chance to conceive her first son. Otherwise, if Wei Qingqing gave birth to the eldest son, it would be useless even if Gu Yizi came back to consummate the marriage with her and she conceived a boy.

But how did the medicine become poison?

Xue Wuyang couldn't figure out what went wrong. Like a parrot trapped in a cage, she kept frantically searching for a way out but found nothing.

Until the person sent out comes back.

The person who went to the laundry room brought back Xia Zheng's clothes, still dripping with water, but the stains were gone.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, Aunt Xia's clothes have been washed, and the court doctor was unable to find anything in them."

Nanny Niu's words made Xia Zheng breathe a sigh of relief. This way, this matter had nothing to do with her.

No one noticed that Xia Zheng had secretly retreated to her previous position. Everyone was watching as Nanny Niu opened the makeup box that had been split in half and brought up by the person behind her. She took out a small brown paper bag from the innermost compartment and opened it to reveal white powder.

"This was found in the innermost secret compartment of Concubine Xue's makeup box. The palace physician has examined it. It's red-topped flower powder, which is extremely effective in promoting blood circulation. It turns black when exposed to water. The jade cup has cracks, so the medicinal vapor will penetrate inside. Cow's milk blood swallow can effectively exert its medicinal effects. For those who are newly pregnant, only two spoonfuls are needed to abort the fetus. However, for those who are already pregnant, it will cause hemorrhage, which is difficult to suppress and may even lead to death."

Xue Wuyang immediately ran over to take a look. The powder was indeed given by the sorcerer, but she did not leave it in the makeup box, so how could it be there?

"I didn't leave any medicine! You...you stuffed it in there!"

"I brought along the elderly people from the mansion. Nanny Qin, who is by His Highness's side, also came along. More than a dozen pairs of eyes watched as this thing was taken out of the makeup box. Nanny Qin was on guard all the way. Does Concubine suspect that Nanny Qin is also framing you?"

How could Xue Wuyang dare to say that, because that would clearly mean that the *** was framing her.

This is impossible and must never be spoken out.

The only person who might have access to this makeup box of hers and know how to open and close the secret compartments inside is...

"It's you!" Xue Wuyang turned and pointed at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye waved her hands in fear. She didn't know when the medicine bag was put in there.

"The people who went to the Our Lady Temple to investigate have returned and said that no men went up the mountain on the day of the Virgin Mary's worship, and there were no wandering sorcerers either."

Nanny Niu’s words were another bolt from the blue.

"Nonsense! I'm the sorcerer I saw that day. I'm in the hills behind the Holy Mother Temple. How could he not be there? Impossible! He might live nearby. Go search for him. You'll definitely find him. He can prove that the medicine he gave me wasn't an abortion drug at all."

Xue Wuyang explained with great excitement, but no one showed any belief in her eyes.

Just when Xue Wuyang felt helpless, the girl next to her husband asked, "Did anyone else see Concubine Xue when she met the sorcerer?"
