Chapter 299 Is Marquis Cheng An Crazy? (3)

If you intend to kill someone, the poison must have been tempered, and you only need to take a sip to kill. Even if the princess is picky, she will take a sip of it politely, and this sip alone is enough to kill her. The only surprise was that the little maid refilled a cup for the princess.

Is it a coincidence, or did the court lady regret it at the critical moment, so she saved Princess Fule's life?

"Bring that court lady in." The prince glanced at Rong Xia who was holding Ban Hua. If he didn't explain this matter to the Ban family and Rong Xia, he would be embarrassed to see them in the future.

As early as when Banhua's accident happened, the princess ordered these court ladies and eunuchs to be strictly guarded, even if they wanted to commit suicide, they would have no chance. Now the prince wanted to see someone, and the maid was quickly brought up.

"What's your name?" The prince saw that the court lady was still young and her childishness was still intact, "Why did you poison Princess Fule?"

"My servant... my servant's name is Xiaoyu," the little maid kowtowed to Ban Hua who was lying on the hard couch, "this servant knows that it is a capital crime, and this servant is willing to be punished."

"Who is the one who instigated you?" The Crown Princess asked, "How much enmity do you, a court lady, have with the princess, and you want to put her to death?"

The little maid shook her head: "The princess is a good person."

The princess sneered: "Since you said she was a good person, why did you poison her?"

The little palace maid still just shook her head: "I'm sorry for Princess Fule, and I hope to repay her kindness in the next life." After she finished speaking, she stood up and rushed to a guard who drew his sword, Du Jiu quickly stopped her.

"Do you think it's okay to die?" The princess looked at the little maid coldly, "Your family, your elders and fellow villagers may all be implicated because of this incident. If I were you, I would tell the truth about the mastermind behind the scenes." So, at least it won't hurt the poor innocent people."

The maid's shoulders shook slightly, and she carefully glanced at the prince and princess: "I have nothing to say."

"In that case, let's drag it out..."

"Your Highness," Rong Xia said suddenly, his eyes were red, as if he had been crying, but also as if he had calmed down after a rage, "let me say a few words to her."

"Please, Marquis Cheng An." The prince was a little afraid to look at Rong Xia, he always felt that he was sorry for Rong Xia and girl Hua, so he was very guilty.

"I know that someone important to you has been threatened, so I dare not say who is behind the scenes." Rong Xia looked at the shivering court lady kneeling on the ground, her eyes were not warm, "But I suspect that you are not just targeting Fule. Princess, the prince and concubine are also the ones you want to murder. Since you dare to do this kind of killing of the nine clans, you must have the courage to bear the consequences."

"Master Hou!" The little palace maid hurriedly said, "This matter was done by me alone and has nothing to do with others. I beg Lord Hou to forgive me."

Rong Xia sneered: "If I do you a favor, who can take Huahua's suffering today?"

The palace maid kowtowed heavily and said, "I am willing to pay with my life."

"I don't care about your life." Rong Xia turned to look at Ban Hua on the couch. Her face was pale and lifeless, and her rosy lips also turned pale. His heart was burning with rage, but his brain was calm He had to surprise himself.

He only hated that he hadn't done a good enough job, that he didn't protect Huahua, and caused her to suffer so much that he almost lost his life.

The Crown Princess saw the infinite killing intent in Rong Xia's eyes, obviously this matter had nothing to do with her, but she just couldn't express her fear.

"Prince..." The concubine turned to look at the prince, wanting the prince to say something to break the deadlock, but the prince just shook his head slightly, actually planning to hand over the initiative to Rong Xia. He turned his head and glanced at the other female relatives, and told them all to retreat.

"I don't have any relatives around me," Rong Xia held Ban Hua's hand, her tone calm, "Hua Hua is the only one who is by my side, if you hurt her, don't ask me to plead, it's okay if you have no choice but to be forced Either way, it has nothing to do with me."

"I only want the life of your nine clans."

"Du Jiu," Rong Xia called the guards, "Immediately go and find out who is close to this court lady, who is close to her family, and arrest anyone who is suspicious. I suspect that she is in collusion with the rebel party, Conspiring against the royal family."
