The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Chapter 121 The Powerful Supreme Commander of the Shadow Guard

Mrs. Du smiled and nodded, and the two of them came to the Jiang Mansion in a sedan chair.

After getting off the sedan, Prince Jing looked around at the luxurious and spacious courtyards and pavilions, and couldn't help but happily said in his heart: "Humph, this will be my son-in-law's home from now on. I can come and visit anytime I'm free!"

Mrs. Du also looked around curiously. This was her first time in Jiang's mansion. She felt that it was much more upscale than the palace, revealing a majestic and magnificent style. If Jingying could become the hostess here in the future, then she could move in with them!

When the two arrived at the flower hall, they found that Prince Fu had arrived a long time ago and was sitting on a chair drinking tea. Next to him sat a handsome, serious young man.

Prince Jing hurried forward to greet him and said, "Fourth Uncle, you've arrived a long time ago?"

Prince Fu nodded and said, "Well, Xiao Anzi, take a seat! Let me introduce you. This is Lord Meng, the highest commander of the Shadow Guard. He was specially sent by the Emperor to work with me on this matter."

After listening to this, Prince Jing immediately had a bad feeling in his heart!

He asked quickly, "Hasn't everything been investigated? Why did the Emperor send the Shadow Guards?"

Meng Jifei smiled and said, "Your Highness, the result of this morning's investigation was only the one-sided statement of your maid. Now we have not only witnesses, but also physical evidence!" He then said to the people below, "Present it!"

Two shadow guards in black came in with a little maid. Meng Jifei said gently, "Your Highness, Madam, this is Ke'er, the little maidservant beside Princess Yuying. On the morning of the day when the incident happened, she went to pick rose petals for the princess to wash her face. As a result, she accidentally ran into Princess Jingying's maid Xuehui who was also picking petals. She saw with her own eyes that Xuehui opened a small bottle, sprinkled the contents on the petals, and then quietly threw the bottle away! Ke'er became suspicious and followed Xuehui all the way. As a result, she saw her greet Madam Jiang halfway. After saying a few words, she deliberately kicked Madam Jiang's little deer cub and walked away. From beginning to end, Madam Jiang did not touch the petals in her basket!

But at noon, Princess Jingying was poisoned! From this, it can be seen that Xuehui must be dissatisfied with the princess, deliberately poisoned her while boiling medicine, and then put the blame on Madam Jiang, who was not on good terms with the princess. She is really cunning and hateful!"

When Prince Jing heard this, his eyes immediately widened and he kept saying, "Impossible! Xuehui has served Jingying for many years, how could she harm her!"

Meng Jifei smiled and said, "Your Highness, you can't judge a person by his appearance! Half a year ago, the princess punished Xuehui for accidentally breaking a mutton-fat jade bracelet. Xuehui held a grudge against her and secretly put ghost needle powder on the princess' bed, causing the princess to have allergies and swelling all over her body! After coming to Jiang's house this time, she was even more angry because the princess asked her to pick flower petals in the middle of the night, so the next day she sprinkled the toad venom she had hidden in advance on the flower petals to poison the princess.

She had originally intended to make the princess feel dizzy, nauseous and sleepy, so that she could take a break and not have to serve her. However, she accidentally gave the wrong dosage, causing the princess to almost die of respiratory failure! "

A shadow guard held a tray in his hands, on which was a white porcelain bottle covered with dew, dirt and grass.

Meng Jifei looked at Ke'er and said, "Look carefully, this is the medicine bottle that Xuehui threw away, right?"

Ke Er looked at the tray and said loudly: "Yes, this is the one she threw away, absolutely true!"

Meng Jifei looked at Prince Jing again and said, "Do you want to call Xuehui to ask her?"

Prince Jing shouted, "Someone, bring that evil-hearted maid to me!"

Prince Jing was so angry that he was fuming. He thought that if this little maid was the one who did it, then he would have fallen into a big trouble today! Not only did he have a grudge with the Jiang family, but he also left a bad impression on his brother. He didn't know how to make amends in the future. It was really a headache just thinking about it!

A cup of tea later, Xuehui was brought in. Prince Jing shouted angrily, "Bitch! Do you recognize this medicine bottle?"

Xuehui was shocked by this sudden change! After taking a look at the bottle, she wondered how it could be here? Didn't I quietly throw it in the grass where Madam Jiang took her daily walk? No wonder when I tried to give it to Deputy Envoy Wang as evidence, I couldn't find it no matter how hard I tried. It turned out that someone had picked it up!

Mrs. Du whispered, "Xuehui, the prince is asking you a question."

Xue Hui shook her head in panic and tried desperately to deny, "I don't know him!"

Prince Jing asked sternly, "Have you ever sprinkled ghost needle powder on the princess' bed?"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Xuehui was shocked!

She thought, how could the prince know such a secret? Before I shed the vomit, I looked around the door and made sure there was no one outside before I shed it quietly. How could the prince know it now?

Xue Hui was so frightened that she trembled and said, "No! Absolutely not! How could I, as a servant serving the princess personally, do such a wicked and evil thing?"

Meng Jifei smiled faintly and said, "Then explain to me why the princess's lost gold hairpin, jade bracelet, pearl necklace and other items appeared on your mother's body?"

Ah? Xue Hui's expression froze immediately, and she looked at Meng Jifei in shock...

She thought, who is this person? How can he know everything I do in private?

But relying on the lack of evidence, Xue Hui steeled her heart and said stubbornly, "These are all untrue! Madam and the princess have been so kind to me, how could I do such a disloyal and unrighteous thing!"

Meng Jifei stared at her intently and said in a cold tone: "Do you know who I am?"

Somehow, facing his cold gaze, Xuehui suddenly shuddered uncontrollably, feeling an inexplicable fear in her heart!

At this time, a middle-aged woman was brought in. Meng Jifei asked her, "Do you know the man kneeling on the ground?"

The middle-aged woman took a look and nodded, "I know her. This is my eldest daughter, Chen Pan'er. She is now serving as a maid to the princess in the palace."

Meng Jifei asked calmly, "Has she ever taken anything home that doesn't belong to her?"

The middle-aged woman whispered, "Take some gold and jade jewelry and ornaments. She said they were given to her by the princess."

Meng Jifei said in a very leisurely manner: "Chen Pan'er, do you want to verify with Princess Jingying now to see if the things you brought home were given to you by the princess?"

Only then did Xue Hui realize how powerful the other party was. She immediately kowtowed and cried, "I know I was wrong. I will never do it again! Please spare my life, my Lord and Madam!"

Du Lianjun suddenly shouted, "Xuehui, you are so bold! You actually dared to do so many shameful things behind my back. I have wasted my trust in you! Now why don't you tell us how you framed the princess? You have caused us to wrongly accuse Madam Jiang for no reason!"

Xuehui was shocked! She thought, why did the Madam suddenly go against the plan? Didn't we say that everything was going smoothly? Why did she suddenly take my place?
