At this time, the housekeeper He from the mansion came with a small booklet in his hand.
Gu Jingmo asked, "Have you found out Hongmei's background?"
Steward He nodded and said, "My Lord, this Hong Shuang is the maid that the princess brought with her from the Sun family as a dowry.
She was a house slave in the Sun family. All the other members of the family were given to the princess by the head of the Sun family to be at her disposal.
Their family lives in the west of the city, but I have sent people to check there, and there is no one there.
During her time at the palace, Hongshuang did nothing wrong and performed well.
I often go out to visit my family."
Gu Jingmo looked at his mother, "Mother, can you explain where Hongshuang's family went?"
The princess didn't dare to look into Jing Mo's eyes, her gaze was erratic, "How should I know, their family is just the slaves my father gave me.
It's possible that it was this slut's family member who ran away after knowing that the crime was exposed.
If you ask her, she will definitely know where her family has gone."
The princess pointed at Hongshuang lying on the ground, thinking that she couldn't think of any good excuse anyway, so she might as well let Hongshuang think of one herself.
Gu Jingmo didn't say anything, but Hongshuang on the ground was very self-aware and said, "I asked them to leave before I gave them the drug.
If successful, it won’t be too late to call them back.
If they fail, they can still survive.”
"Hongshuang, do you really think that after you die taking the blame, the person behind this will spare your family's lives?" Gu Jingmo continued, "I don't know if your family knows the truth.
But if you cut the grass at its roots, the person behind it will just kill all your relatives after you die."
Hongshuang was a little shaken. No one knew what kind of person the princess was better than her.
She had been the princess's maid since she was young, and later married into the palace with the princess.
When the princess needed someone to take the blame, she could have just found a maid.
But the other maids were all bought from the palace, not brought from the Sun family, so they were easy to control.
So the princess chose to look for the candidate among her maids who came with her as a dowry. Hongshuang originally thought that she would not be chosen.
Because all her family members obey the princess.
My parents and my brother are also working for the princess outside the mansion.
But the princess chose me.
Hongshuang thought that it might be because she was not as eloquent and likable as the other maids.
She was also thinking in her heart, after her death, would the princess really keep her parents alive?
Would the princess doubt what she had said to her family?
Will the princess suspect that her family wants to avenge her?
What the young prince said seemed to make sense. People like the princess would just kill everyone to prevent future troubles.
Hongshuang raised her head and looked at the little prince, opening and closing her mouth, wanting to speak but being afraid.
The princess looked at the slave girl lying on the ground, she didn't expect that she was actually persuaded!
But he really had no intention of saving the lives of Hongshuang's family.
The princess spoke, pretending to persuade Hongmei, but actually giving a warning: "Yes, Hongshuang, if you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will definitely take care of it for you.
Were you instructed by someone, or did you do this all by yourself?"
The princess deliberately emphasized the word "herself".
When Hongshuang heard the princess talking, she looked over unconsciously.
Then she saw the warning in the princess's eyes and immediately backed away.
At least, at least the princess wouldn't choose to kill her family just because she told him everything.
If I don't say anything, I will take responsibility for everything.
The princess still killed her own family members. Hongshuang can only hope that she can become a ghost after death and seek revenge on the princess.
Hong Shuang watched as the princess persuaded her to back off.
She took responsibility for everything, saying that she wanted to be a good person and live a rich and prosperous life.
That's why I bought this aphrodisiac and soaked it in the instruments used by the young prince.
But he didn't expect that when he was about to secretly destroy those instruments, he was discovered by the princess.
Later, the princess searched her own residence and found the medicine.
Hong Shuang admitted everything and only asked for death.
As for Gu Jingmo’s question, where does the medicine come from?
Hongshuang only said that she met a Taoist priest by chance and helped him with a favor, and then the Taoist priest gave it to her.
This story is not perfect, but if Hongshuang does not change her confession.
There is really no other way at the moment, unless we find the relationship between the medicine and the princess.
But Gu Jingmo was not in a hurry, he had a way to make Hongshuang speak.
Gu Jingmo looked outside the door. It was already late.
It’s time for Su Er to come back. There are only a few places where his mother hides people.
Unless, something unexpected happened?
Could it be that Hongshuang's family members are dead?
Gu Jingmo looked at the red frost on the ground and had a bad feeling.
At this time, Su Er came in carrying something.
"Your Majesty, I will search the places you mentioned.
In one of the houses, a lot of blood was found.
The subordinate guessed that it was most likely Hongshuang's family member, and then the subordinate went to the nearby mass grave.
Sure enough, they found several bodies that had recently died. The subordinates did not know Hongshuang's family members, so they carried one person back.
This person looks somewhat similar to Hong Shuang."
After Su Er finished speaking, he opened the cloth bag, revealing the person inside.
The body was still fresh, with its throat cut by a sword. It was a relatively young woman.
When Hongshuang saw that person, her eyes instantly turned red.
She kept calling for her mother while trying to crawl over there.
It was just because I was tied up all over, so it was difficult for me to crawl.
But Hongshuang kept trying, using her head to move forward.
Gu Jingmo looked at He Shi, who immediately stepped forward and carried Hongshuang to the side of the corpse.
