Chapter 631: Is this bun poisonous? One test will tell
The woman did not respond immediately but took out a jade pendant from her sleeve pocket.
Then he said:
"This jade pendant was dropped by you, right?
You found me early this morning and told me a task to do.
I dropped it accidentally when I was walking.
By the time I picked it up, you had already left.
I think this jade pendant should be worth a few taels of silver.
I'd better just keep it for now. When I complete the task, you will refuse to pay me the ten taels of silver.
I will keep this jade pendant to pay off my debt."
As she spoke, the woman held up the jade pendant high for everyone to see.
The prince took a look and knew that it was indeed the jade pendant that his personal bodyguard usually wore.
He narrowed his eyes, and the dissatisfaction in his heart became stronger.
The personal guard was a little anxious and said hurriedly:
"Even if I accidentally let you pick up the jade pendant, it doesn't prove that I asked you to frame the Third Prince.
Maybe you stole my jade pendant and then framed me. Who knows?"
The woman was not panicked. She thought for a moment and said:
"I have met you in the city, how can you deny it?
I have been begging in the city with my children for more than half a year.
Many people in the city know my mother and me.
Whether I met you today or not, I will know when I go back to the city by asking you.
I think there will be many people willing to come forward to testify.”
The prince's personal bodyguard was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.
He really didn't expect that there would be a chance of survival after taking the poison he had given.
If he had known this, he should have put a few more poisons in the buns."
He reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Even if I asked you to test the character of the Third Prince?
That doesn’t mean that I poisoned you.”
Upon hearing this, the woman took out a half-eaten meat bun from her sleeve pocket without any haste.
“My children and I have been begging for a long time.
Meat buns are rare.
I finally got two, but I couldn't bear to eat them all, so I kept half for my child tomorrow.
Whether this bun is poisonous or not, we will know it by testing it."
The prince's personal bodyguard never expected that the woman still kept the buns he gave her.
He really wanted to slap himself a few times.
He should have just kept biting them to death and never had any contact with them.
Seeing that things had developed to the point where they were out of control, he staggered and fell directly to the ground.
When the prince saw this, he was furious.
What a useless person! Doing such a simple task but giving people so many handles?
He glared at his personal guard, his eyes cold and threatening.
"Could you please explain what is going on?"
The personal bodyguard knew that he was doomed to die.
In order not to implicate his family, he had to take everything on himself.
He hurriedly got up from the ground and knelt in front of the prince.
"Your Highness, this is all my fault.
I have noticed that the Third Prince has always been against you.
I couldn't stand it, so I thought of such a crude way to get rid of the Third Prince for His Highness."
The prince was very satisfied with his answer.
He slowly stood up and squinted at his personal guard.
"You are so bold?
"My third brother is my closest relative, how can I allow a dog slave like you to frame him?"
As he spoke, his eyes darkened and were filled with ruthlessness.
He stretched out his hand, drew out a guard's sword, and without any hesitation stabbed the personal guard kneeling in front of him.
The sword cut the throat and blood splattered on the spot.
Blood splattered on the prince's face.
He took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood off his face.
"You stupid and vicious dog slave should have died long ago."
After wiping the blood off his face, he threw the handkerchief to the ground and returned the sword to the guard.
Turning around and looking at Xiao Muze,
“Third brother, it turned out to be just a misunderstanding.
I have already executed the culprit on the spot, are you satisfied?"
He raised the tone of his question, and the threat in it was obvious.
Although Xiao Muzhe was not afraid of his threats, he thought that his father was still in his hands.
The only option is to give in.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he clasped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for standing up for me."
The prince curled his lips slightly after hearing his answer.
"You are Welcome."
Then, he looked at the woman who was holding the child in her arms and looking at him with fear in her eyes.
He pointed at the bodyguard lying on the ground and asked the woman in a deep voice,
"He promised to give you ten taels of silver before?"
How could the woman dare to ask for money?
Trembling, shaking his head,
“No… I don’t want it anymore.
The person is already dead, how can you ask him for money?"
After saying this, the woman hugged the child in her arms tighter.
She felt that this time, she and her child would not be able to escape the prince's clutches.
The prince sneered,
“Although he is a hypocritical dog slave.
But after all, he is someone close to me.
Since he promised to give you money, he should keep his promise.
But I don’t have any cash on me.
How about this, you follow me back to the Prince's Mansion first, and I'll ask the accountant to give you the money."
As he said this, he raised his hand and asked the guards to go forward and take the mother and child away.
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale in an instant.
She held the child in her arms and backed away.
“No… no thanks.
I don’t want the silver anymore.”
The prince pretended not to hear, his eyes full of disdain and resentment.
A woman who made a living by begging actually dared to ruin his great plan.
If he lets the mother and son leave alive, where will his dignity as the crown prince be?
Tutor Sun naturally saw that the prince wanted to take the mother and son back and torture them to death.
He was about to step forward to stop them, but Xiao Muze stepped forward first and stood in front of the mother and son.
"Ten taels of silver, huh?
I brought it with me."
As he said this, he untied the purse from his waist, turned around and threw it into the woman's hand.
“Take this and buy a small courtyard to live in.
The remaining silver can be used for some small business.
From now on, you and your son will no longer have to beg for a living in a place without a fixed address.
Also, when the time comes, be sure to send someone to let me know where you settle down."
The woman held the purse tightly in her hand, as if she was holding her own and her son's life in her hands.
She knew that the Third Prince said this to show the Crown Prince that he would protect them, mother and son.
The woman originally thought that she and her child were doomed, but now there is hope of survival again. How could she not be excited?
She held the purse in her hand, hugged the child, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Muzhe.
Seeing this, Ouyang Liuli hurried forward to support him.
"You are still weak, don't kneel down anymore.
Take care of yourself and your children.”
The woman looked at Ouyang Liuli with tears in her eyes.
"Thank you girl."
Ouyang Liuli didn't care about that and pulled the woman to the carriage.
"You and the child should rest in the carriage first.
Then we'll take you back to the city.
When we get back to the city, we can start planning to buy a yard."
The woman looked at her son who had fallen asleep on her shoulder, nodded, and accepted Ouyang Liuli's kindness.
