MTL - The First Assistant Teased Me and Gave Birth To a Cub-Chapter 1145 truth
Chapter 1145 Truth
Gu Yunjiao said without hesitation, "It's a lie."
Sheng Shang raised his brows and suddenly laughed, "It seems that Madam really has the ability to distinguish lies. Well, so, let's see today if this guilt-ridden thing is telling the truth!"
He turned to look at Pearl, his eyes dreadful.
Father-in-law Yu moved a small chair for Gu Yunjiao and placed it next to Pearl. Gu Yunjiao sat in front of Pearl, holding her pulse in one hand and staring at Pearl with both eyes.
Eunuch Liu began to question, with a calm tone with a bit of gloom, "I don't want your family to die with you, so be honest, who instructed you to drug the Seventh Prince?"
Pearl lowered her head again involuntarily, Eunuch Liu shouted, "Raise your head."
Zhu'er shook her head and raised her head, but she didn't dare to look at Gu Yunjiao, who was facing her. She murmured, "Yes, a palace maid found me some time ago and gave me a lot of money to seduce Royal Chef Hu."
"I saw the money, so I agreed."
"Afterwards, the palace maid found me again and asked me to put a packet of medicinal powder in it while Royal Chef Hu was making snacks for the Seventh Prince in the afternoon."
"I, I refused, but the palace maid told me that there was someone behind her who knew that my family belonged to Xiangcheng. If I dared to be disobedient, I would kill my brother."
"I understand, it's either my death or my brother's death."
"But my brother is the only boy in my family. If he died, wouldn't the incense burn in my family?"
Pearl cried, "I can't help it, I can't let my brother die, I can only die by myself."
Sheng Shang's face was gloomy, Gu Yunjiao didn't need to say it, he had already seen that Pearl was telling the truth now.
Eunuch Liu then asked, "Who is that palace maid? Which palace?"
Pearl gritted her teeth, "She never told me which palace she was from, nor what her name was."
"However, this is a terrible thing after all. After she gave me the powder that day, I pretended to leave, turned around and followed her quietly, watching her enter the Changqiu Palace."
Gu Yunjiao kept staring at Pearl's face, not missing the slightest trace of any subtle expression on her face. When Pearl finished speaking, she turned to look at the saint, "What she said is true."
The sage looked at Eunuch Liu, "Go to Changqiu Palace and bring all the maids over so she can identify them!"
Eunuch Liu immediately took the people away.
The Queen cried non-stop on the ground, "I knew it must be that **** who framed me!"
Gu Yunjiao got up and planned to retire, but the sage reached out and pressed down, "Madam, stay here, someone will be brought over in a while, and there will be an interrogation."
Gu Yunjiao had to stay.
Eunuch Liu brought people into the Changqiu Palace, and the eunuchs under him chased all the sleeping maids up.
Concubine Rong said unhappily through the window in the room: "Why did you ask them to ask questions in the middle of the night? What happened to our Changqiu Palace?"
Eunuch Liu said neither humble nor arrogant: "Something happened in the palace, the question is the meaning of the saint."
Concubine Rong said nothing.
Liu Gonggong acted cautiously. Before taking people away, he checked the roster and found that there were few people.
There is a maid named Xiaoyu missing.
Eunuch Liu immediately asked people to search the Changqiu Palace.
The front yard was searched, and the house where the palace ladies lived was also searched, but Xiaoyu was nowhere to be seen, so Eunuch Liu took someone to the backyard again.
There was nothing in the backyard except for some flowers and plants. Eunuch Liu led someone to search carefully and found nothing. He was about to search Concubine Rong Gui's bedroom when he heard a thin "Help—" from outside the fence.
