Chapter 41: Undercover Drugs
Hearing this, Bei Liangye slapped the brush in his hand on the table with a fierce expression: "They are so brave!"
Bei Liangye and Yuanyi left Xiao Luxi in the study room and headed towards the kitchen. Xiao Luxi didn't care. After they left, the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc.
When they arrived at the kitchen, Bei Liangye happened to see the cook pouring something into the medicine. Liuli stepped forward and grabbed the cook's hand. Bei Liangye asked almost roaringly: "Aren't you the princess?"
Chef decoction, what are you doing!"
The old cook who heard the commotion rushed over and knelt in front of Bei Liangye: "Back to the prince, I am the cook who cooks medicine for the prince. I just saw that there was not enough firewood, so I left to get firewood."
The cook was so frightened by Bei Liangye that she stood tremblingly on the spot. Iris also looked unkind and scratched the cook's wrist until it hurt. She argued: "I, I just saw no one, so I came over to help."
Take a look, I'm afraid the medicine may be burnt."
Iris sneered, opened the cook's hand and snatched the small packet of medicine: "Then what is this?"
The cook couldn't argue. Bei Liangye picked up the cook and threw her out of the kitchen. She threw her to the ground. Bei Liangye stood in front of her with his hands behind his back. Everyone around him was frightened by this scene. The servants were nowhere to be seen.
The prince's face was full of anger, and everyone was frightened by Bei Liangye's aura and lowered their heads.
Bei Liangye walked towards the cook step by step, scaring her so much that she stepped back, but Bei Liangye grabbed her chin.
"If you don't tell the person behind you, don't blame me for breaking all your bones!"
Looking at this extremely handsome face, the cook couldn't think of any other thoughts in her heart, she only felt endless fear.
Her chin was so pinched that it hurt. She looked at the man's stern look, as if she could see the tragic consequences of not telling her.
So the cook begged for mercy with tears in her eyes: "Prince, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was just greedy for a moment. It was Concubine Jiang. It was Concubine Jiang who instigated me. She said that I helped her drugge the concubine.
For the medicine, she gave me a lot of money!"
Bei Liangye let go of the cook, kicked her aside unceremoniously, and said to Yuanwei: "What a good Jiang Huaiyuan! Yuanxiu, you can make a new batch of medicine for the princess, and I will go and solve this matter."
Iris nodded, Bei Liangye called someone over, beat the cook half to death, and dragged her to Jiang Huaiyuan's yard.
When Jiang Huaiyuan heard that the prince had come to her yard, she happily put on a light gauze and welcomed him out, but she did not expect that the prince came with a group of people.
Jiang Huaiyuan looked at the large number of people coming and didn't know what was going on. She was wearing too few clothes, so she hurriedly hid in the house.
Bei Liangye didn't give her a chance and pulled her out. Jiang Huaiyuan staggered and fell to the ground.
She looked at Bei Liangye with tears in her eyes, pretending to be aggrieved: "Prince, what are you doing? What have I done wrong? You are so angry when you first come here!"
"You have the nerve to ask me what you did wrong?" Beiliangye smiled sarcastically and raised his hand to signal the servants to come up.
The servant dropped the dying cook in front of Jiang Huaiyuan. Jiang Huaiyuan was startled and quickly looked away: "Prince, what are you doing?"
"Take a closer look at who this person is?"
Bei Liangye's voice sounded like he had seen through everything. Jiang Huaiyuan did not intend to admit it. She glanced at the cook and said guiltily: "I, I don't know this person. I have never seen this person before!"
Bei Liangye raised his voice slightly and asked again: "You really don't know this person?"
Jiang Huaiyuan nodded, and the next moment, Bei Liangye threw the bag of poison on her face, and turned to ask the cook: "Tell me again, who is the one who ordered you!"
The cook glanced at Jiang Huaiyuan in fear and said, "That's right, Concubine Jiang gave me the poison! I have evidence, I have evidence, she, she wrapped it with her own veil when she gave it to me!"
With that said, the cook took out the handkerchief from her arms and left Jiang Huaiyuan speechless. Bei Liangye looked at Jiang Huaiyuan with burning eyes and said coldly: "What else do you have to say!"
"She was the one who framed me, so how could I drug the princess? I definitely didn't do this!" Seeing that she was cornered, Jiang Huaiyuan could only refuse to admit it.
The cook was dragged down. Bei Liangye watched Jiang Huaiyuan cry and make a fuss with cold eyes: "If you don't explain this matter today, there's no point in crying and fussing!"
On the other side, Ruan Wanwan drank the medicine sent by Iris and asked suspiciously: "Why was the medicine delivered more than an hour late today?"
"The cook made a mistake today and was delayed for a while." Iris said, "The princess should have a good rest first."
"I'm not sleepy yet." Ruan Wanwan walked to the window to take a look at the scenery outside. It happened that there were two maids chatting softly in the corridor nearby.
"Today the prince went to the concubine Jiang again!"
"You also saw it, Concubine Jiang was wearing a light gauze to greet the prince. Concubine Jiang's place is very lively today!"
Ruan Wanwan's eyes suddenly dimmed as he listened to this conversation.
She didn't expect that while she was injured and taking medicine, Beiliangye would actually favor other concubines.
She twitched her lips coldly and closed the window. Upon seeing this, Iris saw Ruan Wanwan's unhappiness, so she walked over to Ruan Wanwan and explained: "A lot of things happened outside today, and I was also involved."
"Oh? What's going on outside?" Ruan Wanwan asked curiously, although she was worried.
After all, Iris was also involved in what happened tonight, and she didn't want to see Ruan Wanwan misunderstanding the prince and feel sad, so she explained.
"Today when I went to the prince to get a new prescription, Xiao Luxi came and said that his maid had sold Qin Yurou some poison. I was confused and came to tell the prince. By coincidence, during the day, I saw Qin Yurou and Jiang Huaiyuan together.
We were muttering something together, and on the way to the prince's study, we saw Jiang Huaiyuan going to the kitchen."
"Jiang Huaiyuan goes to the kitchen? With her temperament, she doesn't want to get dirty. If she goes to the kitchen, she might drug me?" Ruan Wanwan pointed out bluntly.
Iris nodded and said: "Princess Mingjian, indeed, the prince and I both suspected that Jiang Huaiyuan was going to drug you, so I was so hungry that the prince rushed to the kitchen to stop her, and the cook also confessed Jiang Huaiyuan. Now the prince is taking the cook,
Go and hold Jiang Huaiyuan accountable."
