Chapter 279: Suicide Due to Fear of Crime

Although Chef Xu gritted his teeth, he insisted that Ling Chu bribed him.

But everyone present heard that there were many flaws in his words.

The emperor said solemnly, "Ning Aiqing, drag him down and interrogate the person behind this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chef Xu immediately collapsed to the ground.

He is just an ordinary person and cannot bear the punishment of Jin Yiwei at all.

But even if he could bear it, he couldn't.

In fact, the moment he took action, he knew that he would only die.

Chef Xu lowered his head in despair, feeling angry and helpless in his heart. He didn't want to poison anyone, but it was a pity that he couldn't help himself.

Ning Chuyi was about to wave his hand to Wei Feng to drag him down again, but suddenly he saw a trace of black blood spilling from Chef Xu's lips.

Secret passage is not good.

In a flash, he reached Chef Xu's side and reached out to pinch his chin.

It's a pity that it was a step too slow after all.

Ning Chuyi had a stern look on his face, he was careless.

Unexpectedly, this cook was just an ordinary person, but he actually had poison hidden in his teeth.

Seeing the cook bite the poison and kill himself, some timid ladies screamed in fright.

Just seeing the emperor and queen sitting at the top, she was so frightened that she covered her mouth.

Ling Chu watched Chef Xu's ghost stand up from the ground, then faced his body lying on the ground, wiping tears from his red eyes.

Then he raised his head and glanced into the distance, choking and saying, "Sister, eldest brother is gone, and I can no longer help you. I hope you can give the second prince a boy and a half girl, and you will have someone to rely on in the future, and eldest brother won't be able to help you anymore." It's a dead end.

You don’t have to be sad when your eldest brother is gone. Being able to escape from this prison is not a bad thing. In the next life, the eldest brother must be reincarnated into a wealthy family, so that he no longer has to worry about serving noble people all day long. "

Ling Chu followed Chef Xu's gaze, but there was no one where he looked.

In that direction, it was probably the palace where the second prince lived.

Chef Xu thought he was dead and no one heard him.

After talking to himself, he turned around and left without any regrets.

Ling Chu almost rolled his eyes, put the shit basin on her head, and wanted to be reincarnated into a wealthy family.

I really dare to think about it.

With a flick of the hand, a talisman light fell on Chef Xu, immobilizing him.

Chef Xu couldn't move, staring at Ling Chu with fear in his eyes.

When Princess Guangping saw Chef Xu committing suicide, she was not afraid, but felt moved in her heart.

Chef Xu insisted till her death that it was the little bitch who ordered her to do it, and she had to wear this shit basin even if she didn't want to.

After the crime was determined, even if she refused to give the fifty thousand taels, others would not accuse her.

Princess Guangping was worried about Ning Chuyi, and when she saw the Minister of Punishment on the side, she immediately said, "Master Di, Chef Xu's death certificate proves his innocence, which shows that he did not lie.

Miss Ling first bribed the kitchen servant and ordered him to poison, and then took the opportunity to threaten the antidote. The lion extorted 150,000 taels and was punished for several crimes. What crime should he be punished for? "

The Minister of Punishment had never seen anyone before, so he guessed her thoughts in a flash of his mind.

"Chef Xu's words are just his own words, and there is no way to prove that it was Miss Ling who instigated him.

As for blackmail, I have never seen Miss Ling receive a penny. "

Princess Dingyuan has always been gentle and rarely gets angry, but this time she couldn't help but glare at Princess Guangping.

"Miss Ling saved me and Princess Jing with her own life-saving medicine, and she didn't charge a penny.

But Princess Jing and I are not that kind of ungrateful people.

In order to thank Miss Ling for saving her life, we took the initiative to give her a thank you gift.

How did it come to your mouth that this became blackmail? "

Princess Jing sneered at Princess Guangping, "The death of Chef Xu, is it called death to prove innocence? It was clearly suicide out of fear of crime!

Miss Ling didn't force you to buy the antidote. You didn't want to die, so you cried and begged her to sell you the medicine.

If someone saves you, you don't say you are grateful, but instead burn the bridge across the river, and you are not afraid of others poking your spine.

Or is it that your Guangping Prince's Palace is now an empty shell and can't even afford 50,000 taels of medicine? "

Princess Guangping's face turned black and her fingernails were almost cut off.

The Queen Mother has always been fond of Prince Jing, her youngest son, and she has always been kind to Princess Jing, her daughter-in-law.

Princess Guangping knew that Princess Jing never had to look at anyone's face among the ladies of Kyoto, but she didn't expect that she would make it difficult for her to get off the stage in front of so many people.

Concubine An's niece was killed by Ping Yang, and she was happy to see Concubine Guang Ping embarrassed.

It's just that she doesn't like Princess Jing either.

“Princess, as the old saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good.

As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, so why did Chef Xu insist that Miss Ling was the one who ordered it until his death, instead of saying it was someone else? "

Ning Chuyi looked at Ling Chu and saw that she had a pale face and lowered her head in silence, feeling guilty in her heart.

If he hadn't been careless and let Chef Xu bite the poison and commit suicide, she wouldn't have been put in a excrement basin.

"Your Majesty, I will take people to search the imperial kitchen to see if there is anything missing."

The emperor was already impatient when he heard those people arguing. Naturally, he didn't believe that it was Ling Chu who ordered Chef Xu to tamper with the fish soup.

If the person behind it is not found out, it will be like a sword hanging over his head.

This person had a rebellious intention and ordered people to poison his royal meal, with disastrous consequences.

Ning Chuyi was about to take people to the imperial kitchen to search for puffer fish, but Ling Chu quickly took out the copper coins and turtle shells and made a prediction.

"Master Ning, there is no pufferfish in the imperial dining room."

The reason why Ling Chu didn't speak just now was because she was busy using the system to search for the puffer fish used by Chef Xu.

The imperial kitchen in the palace is divided into inner and outer imperial kitchens. The inner imperial kitchen generally prepares meals for the concubines and others in each palace.

The outer imperial kitchen is responsible for the meals of the ministers, doctors, guards, eunuchs, maids and nannies on duty.

In addition, when the palace holds a banquet, it is also the responsibility of the outer imperial kitchen.

As for the emperor, the queen mother and the queen, they all have their own kitchens.

Today, the queen held a banquet, and all the meals were prepared by the outer imperial kitchen.

But the puffer fish was not in the outer imperial kitchen at all. Even if Ning Chuyi led people to turn it upside down, he would not find it.

Puffer fish is too dangerous, and the palace has never allowed this thing to be eaten.

Not only did the outer imperial kitchen not have it, but the imperial chefs in the inner imperial kitchen did not dare to knowingly commit the crime.

Ning Chuyi took a look at the hexagram and didn't understand it. He simply didn't embarrass himself and asked Ling Chu directly.

"Miss Ling, have you found anything?"

Ling Chu nodded and pointed, "According to the hexagram, it's in that direction."

Ning Chuyi looked in the direction of her finger.

His brows slightly frowned, that was the direction of Jinghua Palace.

Concubine An's face changed for a moment, and then quickly returned to her calm demeanor.

As the master of a palace, the emperor was very familiar with the entire palace.

His face suddenly darkened.

Ling Chu ignored everyone's thoughts, put away the copper coin tortoise shell, and then pinched the spell to put away the ghost of Xu the kitchen servant.

He raised his foot and walked forward following the guidance of the system.
