C125 Another One Died

Mu Ruxuan looked at Mu Ruqing with disgust. Sisters? Your skin is thick enough to spit out these two words, "This Imperial Concubine does not know what Princess Chu is talking about. It is only servant girl. This Imperial Concubine is not worth it!"

"Maybe Imperial Concubine's target is not the dead servant girl?" Consort Long gave a profound smile which made Mu Ruxuan somewhat fearful. The fingers that were placed in front of her abdomen pinched and forcefully pulled out a trace of anger, "This servant does not know what Your Ladyship means. Just because my palace maid stood by the chair for a while and wanted to make a confession?"

The conversation turned to the palace maid who was beaten. If this matter did not run out to the palace maid to invite her, she would not even know and would still foolishly wait for Mu Ruqing to die.

"Imperial Concubine, you have wronged Your Ladyship. It was this palace maid who spoke rudely. Rebelling Your Ladyship, thus punishment." The one who spoke was that aunt, and the biggest one here was Consort Long. She naturally had to curry favor with her. Even if she could not keep her position, it would be good to keep her life.

" Oh? That should be the case. He actually dared to contradict Consort Long!" Mu Ruxuan was naturally not stupid. It was already a foregone conclusion. That palace maid should just die.

When Mu Ruqing saw Mu Ruxuan's face that did not care, her hand under her wide sleeves clenched into a fist and her face was covered with a layer of frost," Why did Imperial Concubine want to harm Mei? "

"What this Imperial Concubine did not do, why must she admit it?" Mu Ruxuan did not show weakness. She originally thought that Mu Ruqing would wholeheartedly help her but now it seems that the thing that she regarded as a treasure was not what she wanted.

"No? You are her mistress and no one ordered her to do so how could she do such a vicious thing. Or could it be that her mistress has someone else? " Mu Ruqing did not think that Mu Ruxuan would make a move on her maidservant. She had helped her back then. She was really blind.

Mu Ruxuan thought for a while, if her meaning was not directed by me, then it was someone else, and this person was the former mistress of the palace maids - - the Empress.

This cannot be, if it were to be related to the Empress, Eldest Prince would probably blame her. In the blink of an eye, Mu Ruxuan's train of thought had a few circles. She also pointed the spearhead at the palace maid who was hit. "What did you get confused about? To actually do such a thing?"

"Imperial Concubine, you have to believe that this servant did not do it, this servant did not do it!" The palace maid's red and swollen cheeks were covered with tears as tears streamed down her face. The pain of her wound being eaten by salt could be felt from her face and it was painful to even touch her teeth when she spoke.

"With so many people seeing it, how can I wrongly accuse you? Do you think that everyone here is blind?" Mu Ruxuan looked at the aunt in the side hall and shouted this sentence. Seeing that the aunt did not have any other expression, she could not help but feel puzzled. It wasn't a setup? Impossible, how could my people act on their own?

"Imperial Concubine, this servant... This servant..." The palace maid who was beaten stared at Mu Ruxuan with tearful eyes. From the moment Mu Ruxuan opened her mouth, she knew that her life could not be saved tonight. Making up her mind, since the overall situation has been decided, I will die without a doubt. Then I cannot lead the trouble to Consort Eldest Prince and the Empress.

The hands of the palace maid who had just been beaten up suddenly lost all strength. Seeing that she was about to fall to the side, she took advantage of the opportunity and kowtowed heavily. Her words were unclear, "This servant plead guilty. That lady and this servant had a quarrel just now. Still wanting to hit this servant to make this servant make a fool of herself but this servant is strong-willed. That is why I want to deal with her! This matter was all this servant's fault and had nothing to do with Imperial Concubine. This servant can only use her death as an apology! "

After saying that, she quickly got up and rushed towards a pillar by the side. Yuchuan and a few palace maids ran over to stop her. Caught off guard, she placed her right little finger in her mouth. With a sneer of success in her eyes, it was just a blink of an eye. Her body twitched, and a large amount of blood flowed out from her nose, causing her to fall to the ground and die.

There was another wave of screams. Only Consort Long and the others, who had seen the world, were still calmly looking at each other with cold eyes.

Mu Ruxuan was also a little afraid. This was the first time she saw someone die with her own eyes. Grabbing the palace maid beside her tightly, her face turned pale from fright. No matter what, she shouldered all the blame, "Your Ladyship, the truth has already been revealed. The sinner also paid with his life..."

"When did the truth come out?" Consort Long interrupted her. She wanted to shirk the responsibility so easily? Looking at the palace maid who died with everlasting regret, it was a pity that she died a little earlier, "Where did the red crane come from? Without finding out, where did the truth come from?"

"Imperial Concubine Eldest Prince might be trying to shirk the blame and is so anxious that she fainted!" Mu Ruqing also helped Consort Long by the side and asked her aunt by the side, "Is Mei arguing with that palace maid the truth?"

"Reporting to the Princess, it is indeed true that the two ladies are quarreling for some reason. By the time this servant rushed over, they were already quarreling intensely. This servant saw that it was the two ladies quarreling and did not mind asking. But it resulted in today's tragedy." Aunt's words seemed to be blaming herself but in fact, she had already pushed all of her responsibilities away. She didn't know anything. She was just a mediator.

"This Imperial Concubine does not know what else the Princess wants to investigate. The matter is already clear. Why are you holding onto it and not letting it go? I have to doubt the intentions of the Princess." The palace maid is dead, no one can testify against her. If I do not admit it, what can you do to me? Mu Ruxuan provocatively looked at Mu Ruqing. Tonight's plan was messed up by this palace maid. The one who should have died was Mu Ruqing!

"Haha, Imperial Concubine is indeed domineering. Now she also does not place Bengong in her eyes!" Consort Long sneered and stood beside Mu Ruqing. She saw that the attitudes of the two were completely different.

"I dare not." Mu Ruxuan lowered her head. Now that the Empress was not around and there was no one to support her, she naturally could not go head to head with them. The most important thing now was to escape.

"Then why did you avoid answering Bengong's question? Why did Imperial Concubine's personal palace maid hide the red crane?"

"Replying to Your Ladyship, I do not know."

"Imperial Concubine is really useless. If her own palace maid is unable to manage it well, then this palace can think that it was Imperial Concubine who ordered it?" Consort Long's tone was half joking. No matter what, you will not be able to escape from hiding the poison!

"Your Ladyship wronged this lowly one!" Mu Ruxuan knelt down and raised her head to look at Consort Long with an unconvinced look. " If a palace maid secretly hid something and did something wrong, it was Mistress who ordered her to do so. If so, Your Ladyship would probably not be able to convince the masses, so how would she be able to cooperate with the six palaces?"

" Killing people is just as simple as doing something wrong? The annual feast was jointly organized by Bengong and Empress. The food and dishes of the feast passed through the side hall. Among them, there is also the Red Plum Lotus Soup specially prepared by Bengong for the Princess. Imperial Concubine came to talk about it. With this information, what can we do?" Consort Long could say that her question was baffling but Mu Ruxuan, who hid a ghost in her heart, was well aware. This was a hint that she already knew her plan. He was threatening her again.

Mu Ruxuan clenched her teeth. When the palace maids first reported the matter of the side hall to her, when she said that Mei was poisoned to death by the red crane, she felt that something was amiss. It was not easy for her to get the poison, if it was not He Dinghong, why would he die because of He Dinghong? And the suspicion fell on his own people? Furthermore, his palace maid also swallowed He Dinghong and committed suicide, what exactly happened?

"Are you feeling guilty?" Mu Ruqing was just about to go out to rage when she heard Consort Long's words just now. She was sure that Mu Ruxuan wanted to use food to kill her but there was a mistake and Mei was poisoned to death.

Mu Ruxuan did not believe that she could not beat Mu Ruqing but in the current situation, the advantageous side was leaning towards Mu Ruqing. Her suspicion had yet to be released and the Empress was once again suspected by Consort Long's words.
