Chapter 199: The Wall Collapses and Everyone Pushes Back
The first one to confess was the palace maid.
She glanced at Shen Qianmeng tremblingly, quickly lowered her head, and said in a trembling voice: "I beg Your Highness and the General to spare my life. It was the princess who ordered me and others to poison Madam Shen."
"You are talking nonsense. Tell me who instructed you to frame me. It's a waste of my kindness to you." Shen Qianmeng yelled hysterically at the palace maid.
How dare this bitch confess her crimes? She is her master.
The maid trembled and said, "I have evidence to prove that it was the princess who ordered me to do this."
Although she was a palace maid, she was sold into the palace by her uncle a few years ago.
On the second day after entering the palace, the Queen Mother adopted a daughter, and she was assigned to Princess Yanran.
She lost her parents at a young age and lived a life worse than pigs and dogs in her uncle's house. It was difficult to get enough food and clothing, and her uncle would never let her learn to read and write.
She is illiterate.
That day, the princess wrote a prescription for her to get from a familiar pharmacy.
She kept the prescription. When the official came to the mansion just now, she had a bad feeling and felt that something had happened to the princess.
I put the prescription on my waist before coming.
Chen Zhao stood in front of the palace maid and said, "If you have evidence to present, I will keep it for your Highness to review."
The meaning is very clear. Your Highness the Crown Prince thinks it's okay, but don't even think about touching it.
The prince's action of smashing the evidence just now made Shen Zhao very worried about him.
The prince's mouth twitched. This man surnamed Chu was about to beat drums and gongs to tell everyone that he was afraid that he, the prince, would side with Shen Qianmeng and destroy the evidence.
Hateful and infuriating!
The maid took out the prescription from her waist and handed it to Chen Zhao with both hands. "This is the prescription written by the princess herself. I can't read, but the princess asked me to take this prescription and go get the medicine."
Although Shen Zhao and Shen Qianmeng are not close, they are sisters who grew up together.
She could recognize Shen Qianmeng's handwriting at a glance.
I don’t know whether Shen Qianmeng is smart or stupid.
He was so despicable as to poison his mother to frame her, but was so foolish as to leave such important evidence in the hands of others.
Shen Zhao held it in his hands and stood below the prince's hands so that the prince could see the words clearly.
Shen Qianmeng panicked and twisted the handkerchief in her hands unconsciously.
What should she do? What should she do?
Mother Shen, who was hiding in the inner hall, felt a sudden pain in her chest.
From her direction, she could also see the words on the prescription.
It is indeed Qian Meng's handwriting.
Why would Qian Meng poison her?
Someone must have bribed the people around Qianmeng, imitated Qianmeng's handwriting, and deliberately forged the prescription. It must be like this.
Mother Shen kept comforting herself in her heart, as if only in this way would she not feel so uncomfortable.
She could finally catch her breath.
The prince's face was as cold as ice, and he said angrily: "Chen Qianmeng, what else do you have to quibble about!"
Shen Qianmeng was completely stunned by the title of "Crown Prince Brother".
The Crown Prince never called her Chen Qianmeng, but always called her Yanran.
Is the prince going to abandon her?
No, how can this be possible!
She betrayed her father and brother for the sake of her brother, the Crown Prince, causing the Shen family to fall into decline.
Prince, you can't treat her like this!
"Brother Prince...Brother Prince...someone must have imitated my handwriting to frame me. You must believe me, Yanran.
I am not Shen Qianmeng, I am Yanran."
The name Shen Qianmeng was a shame to her.
At this moment, the cook's eyes lit up. Her chance had come, but that little bitch had just taken it first.
Now it was finally her turn to point the finger.
"This servant has something to report."
"Speak!" The prince was given a headache by Shen Qianmeng's noise.
The tone was also a little heavier.
The cook was startled.
She stammered, “This servant can prove that it was the Princess who ordered me to be poisoned.
The princess specially brought some medicinal herbs and bird's nest and asked me to stew them.
At that time, I was still wondering if some of these herbs were highly poisonous, but the princess urged me not to ask any questions.
The princess personally watched as the servants prepared the poisonous bird's nest and then personally brought it over."
The cook said, "I was afraid of being used as a scapegoat later, so I reported this matter to the other two princesses.
What I said is all true, and the other two princesses can testify for me."
She was just a cook in the princess's mansion, although she served her respective masters.
But she knew in her heart that she didn't belong to anyone.
Especially the way Princess Yanran treated her was completely different from how the other two princesses treated their subordinates.
It is common for him to be harsh on her, and he will take advantage of her whenever he is unhappy.
She followed Princess Yanran for two years, but the princess never rewarded her.
She can only envy others.
It's not worth risking your life for a master like this.
Even if she killed Shen Qianmeng, she never thought that the cook assigned to her by the Queen would tell the other two princesses what she had done behind her back.
Even the drugstore clerk, who was on the verge of peeing his pants, continued to add insult to injury, "Princess Yanran has been doing business with our drugstore for many years. The princess is a guest, and we are open for business. The princess is also our old customer. Whatever medicine the princess wants, we will naturally provide it.
Who would have thought that the princess would use these medicines to poison her own mother.
I am innocent. I didn't know that Princess Yanran was buying herbs to harm others. Otherwise, I would not have sold the herbs to her even if I risked offending her."
Shen Qianmeng's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
They all wanted to put her to death before they would stop.
Mother Shen's body was shaking in the inner hall. She tried her best not to cry out loud, and tears fell from her eyes.
Who will save her shallow dream?
Those people were obviously bribed. She anxiously grabbed Chu Mu's hand and wrote on it.
"Save Qian Meng, she was wrongly accused."
Chu Muxiu frowned slightly. Mrs. Shen still insisted on believing that Shen Qianmeng didn't harm her? The evidence was right in front of her, so why didn't she believe it?
Mother Shen saw Zhaozhao frowning slightly. Did Zhaozhao not understand what she meant?
What should I do? She couldn't speak now, and anxiously looked at her hands, which were slightly rough from working hard in the Princess's Mansion for the past two years.
He gritted his teeth, put his finger in his mouth and bit it hard.
With blood, he wrote on the palm of his hand: Save Qianmeng.
In the outer hall, Shen Qianmeng sat dejectedly on the ground. The Crown Prince sent someone to the Princess's Mansion to ask the other two bitches whether what the cook said was true.
Even if the cook didn't tell them, they would say that the cook told them in order to prevent her from turning over.
Why did this happen? How did things turn out like this?
This was completely contrary to what she had in mind.
The guards guarding the general's mansion have reported everything that happened inside back to the outside of the mansion.
Everyone sighed when they heard this.
"This Princess Yanran is truly cruel. She actually had the heart to kill her own mother, who unhesitatingly chose to be her servant just to take care of her. Has her conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Chu Qi retreated from the crowd, his mission had been completed.
The scholar who was brought into the hall knelt tremblingly. He was about to take the exam and came to Kyoto to prepare for the big exam next spring.
If I had known that Princess Yanran was so useless, I would never have dared to accept the ten taels even if I were beaten to death.
The prince looked at the scholar and said with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "You were the one who falsely accused Madam Chu in front of the general's mansion? Do you admit your guilt?"
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
