Chapter 199: The Scapegoat

"Since you have the ability to take away a pack of peach kernels without registering them, who knows if there is a second pack? What if the soup is filled with the second pack!" Yanzi's voice was high-pitched, and he was competing with her.

Even Ji Huirong, who was sitting at the top, felt that she was going too far.

But before she said anything, Linlang suddenly took out a peach kernel and a sweet almond from the leftover soup and placed them on the table.

Then, crush it with a spoon.

When the heat is right, the sweet almonds are easily crushed into pieces.

Only the peach kernel was broken into small pieces, with white powder in the middle.

It looks raw at first glance.

"Not to mention that the meals need to be inspected before and after they are sent out. Although there is a difference between the peach kernels and almonds, the heat can already prove that the peach kernels are not added when stewing the soup."

Linlang explained unhurriedly.

The queen mother in the seat nodded, obviously agreeing with this point.

But Yanzi still said angrily, "Even if it wasn't added during the stew, what about the back? How about sending it here?!"

Linlang glanced at her and smiled.

"It seems that I haven't met this sister a few times, right? Although I don't know why you want to target me like this, and you don't even want to find out the murderer of Le Guiren together."

As soon as these words came out, Yanzi's cheeks stiffened.

She glanced at the thoughtful Queen Mother and raised her voice: "Don't talk nonsense! I am just worried about the master, so I want to get you, the murderer, to confess quickly!"

Linlang sneered.

It's very light, but extremely insulting.

"Why are you laughing? Do you think it's funny that Master Le is like this? Do you think your conspiracy has finally succeeded? It's really what you did, right?!"

The swallow jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"I just laughed at this sister. You are so focused on forcing me to confess that you have even forgotten the most important things." Linlang smiled and shook her head.

"Wha, what's the matter..."

The other party's voice was a little dry, and when he saw Linlang touching her shoulder-length hair, her lips moved and she couldn't say a word.

"Of course it is, I-"

The girl smiled with crooked eyes, deep black pupils, and a cold air, "You are not allowed to appear in front of the master at all now."

Except for the neglected Zhang Gengyi, the Chunxuan attendant who personally named her, and the current Queen Mother, she has no qualifications to meet other masters. So how can she deliver soup to the pregnant Legui?

Yanzi trembled all over, and felt as if his eyes were shaking, like falling into an ice cave.

And the sound that sounded in her ears was the hands pushing her down.

"There is something wrong with this palace maid, take her down to the Department of Punishment and torture her!"

"yes!"

Two strong palace maids immediately stepped forward, cut off her arms one on the left and the other on the right, and dragged her out.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother! Please spare this slave! I am unjust! I am really unjust...Uuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Before she could finish her grievances, one of the palace maids conveniently took out a handkerchief and blocked her mouth.

After Yanzi was carried away, Ji Huirong's eyes fell back on Linlang.

"How did you get it?"

The girl lowered her head, her brows still as gentle as before, "There are no peach kernels in my slave's residence, but she can make them out of nothing. Besides, she has never made any enemies, so why would she do this?"

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to use her as a scapegoat.

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened.

"It seems like it's time to conduct a thorough investigation around Mr. Le Gui!"
