Chapter 278: Rage of the Ants

The emperor then asked, "Mrs. Meng, was it you who poisoned her?"

He is the person in charge of the Taihe Palace. If he really poisoned the lady from a noble family, he must give an explanation.

Seeing the emperor's disappointed face, Meng Ying said with a look of regret, "It was definitely not me who poisoned him."

"Chang Sunyan once killed a little palace maid in my house because she was too thin and she said she was too ugly, so she threw her into the water and drowned her in broad daylight."

"She is so cruel and merciless, she is simply a demon. I want to kill her."

"But then I thought, she is just a little girl, and it is her parents' fault if she is not well educated. Her current domineering behavior is because her parents indulged her too much. I want to give her a chance and take the medicine I gave her..."

When she said this, her face turned pale, as if she had thought of something, and she bit her lip and stopped talking.

Emperor Taikang frowned and asked, "Why don't you say anything? What's going on?"

Meng Ying's eyes were filled with tears and her teeth were clenched clenched tightly.

She couldn't say anything. She was too stupid. She should have confessed. She should have known who it was.

Jin Lingzi was angry because Meng Ying dared to frame her in such a weird way. Seeing that Meng Ying didn't say anything, she said coldly: "Because she already knows who the murderer is."

"Your Majesty, this kind of person won't cry until he sees the coffin. He will confess everything after a beating."

Jin Lingzi didn't want Meng Ying to die. Meng Ying's son was in her hands, and she could still control Meng Ying.

But if one chess piece is disobedient, I will deal with it.

The emperor nodded and said, "Send the Central Guards."

The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple were too orthodox, and even if they used torture, it was very limited. Emperor Taikang intended to turn the Zhongwei Army into "cruel officials."

See Han Yanian coming forward with the eunuch.

Meng Ying was shocked and angry. She looked at Jin Lingzi and said, "Don't be so wicked. Chang Sunyan's fate today is entirely her own fault. She is so wicked. You actually want to hurt others. Aren't you afraid that you will also be punished?"

Her greatest retribution has already happened, what is there to be afraid of?

Jin Lingzi was not angered, and said in a cold voice: "Take her away and use the most cruel punishment to prevent her from telling the truth."

It has to be said that although her daughter died, she remained rational from beginning to end.

Seeing Meng Ying being taken away, a skinny palace maid suddenly rushed out and stood in front of Meng Ying.

She knelt before the emperor again and said, "I did this, I did it, it has nothing to do with the boss."

She said with tears streaming down her face, "It was me. The headmaster asked me to take the poisoned bowl away, and I knew she had changed her mind and didn't want to kill anyone. In fact, I didn't take it away. I still put it on Chang Sunyan's tray. The headmaster didn't care that I would avenge my sisters. But I didn't expect that headmaster Meng might move the two bowls for safety reasons."

"I was very nervous when I thought that the young lady from the Wang family might drink the bowl of medicine, so I stayed behind her and planned to find an opportunity to take the bowl away. If she wanted to drink it, I would definitely stop her. However, the young lady Wang did not drink the bowl of fruit in the end, so I did not move."

"So the bowl on Miss Wang's table was the one I didn't take away. It was poisonous, but it didn't harm anyone. But I don't know where the bowl that Chang Sunyan ate came from."

Jin Lingzi sneered after hearing this: "Ha, ha, a little palace maid."

She suddenly shouted with red eyes: "Do you think I will believe you? You are a little palace maid, how dare you poison the young lady of the Duke's Mansion? Are you courting death..."

Is it worthy of a lowly ant to poison its own daughter?

"Yes, I don't want to live anymore!" The palace maid wiped her tears with her sleeve and knelt straight, showing the spirit of refusing to yield even in death.

She said, "Because if I don't kill her, she will torture me to death sooner or later."

"The little palace maid she tortured to death was my best sister. We were always bullied, hungry and cold, so we were both very thin. But Chang Sunyan thought we were ugly because we were thin, and said that ugly things should not exist in the world, so she killed my sisters."

"Who is she? She is just a reincarnation. Does that mean she can bully and kill us at will?"

"She deserved to die. It was God who took her away. Do you think she only did one bad thing? She did so many evil things that she deserved to die..."

“Bang!”

Jin Lingzi was enraged and slapped the maid fiercely: "You bitch!"

"The young lady died with her eyes open, and you dare to slander her reputation?"

Jin Lingzi was really angry.

Is she not angry and heartbroken because her daughter is dead?

No, she was very sad, and she still felt her mind was numb and couldn't remember anything.

If she hadn't been holding on to her anger for revenge, she felt like she would have fainted by now.

So she had to hold on and seek justice for her daughter.

But she never expected that a little palace maid as insignificant as an ant would dare to say such things about her daughter.

Damn it, damn it!

These bastards were born lowly, they were originally weeds and bastards, they are dead, how dare they resist the noble young lady? How dare they ask for justice?

How dare you?

"How dare you? How dare you!" Jin Lingzi clenched his fists and suddenly roared.

The suppressed emotions that had been building up since hearing the tragic news about his daughter burst out in an instant, as if a dam had broken.

She couldn't control herself. She couldn't control herself.

She raised her hand and slapped the maid's face madly.

"How dare you, you ant? How dare you, you ant? A scum like you, even a hundred lives are not enough to compensate Yan'er."

The surroundings, which had already become quiet, now seemed even quieter.

Everyone looked at Jin Lingzi in shock, and found what she said incredible.

Even if she was a slave, as worthless as a weed, she was still a maid in the palace. She couldn't be killed at will, right?

Chang Sunyan was already evil enough, but she didn't expect her mother to be even more vicious than Chang Sunyan. It was indeed a family tradition.

He actually thinks that the death of palace maids is not a big deal, and even if a hundred of them die, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Indifference and malice are visible.

Li Jidao thought: [That's right, this is more like someone who has lost his daughter.]

"Haha!" The little palace maid was hit by the collar, her face swelled up instantly, and blood appeared on her face.

But she didn't seem to be afraid at all, her eyes were bloodshot, and she said in an unclear voice, "She deserves it, she deserves to die with her eyes open, what a high-and-mighty little lady, let her see how powerful the ant-people are."

"We are human beings too. If she dares to kill someone, she should pay with her life. Kill, kill, kill her..."

“Snap, snap, snap!”

With one final move, Jin Lingzi picked up the bowl on the long table and raised his hand to smash it.

But he was stopped by a foot.

Meng Ying kicked over her bowl and warned her, "This is the imperial palace, you'd better be more restrained."

These words seemed like a wake-up call, and Jin Lingzi's expression was shocked.

She turned around and looked at the emperor with wide eyes.

Suddenly she lifted her skirt and knelt down, crying, "Saint, please help me. My daughter died tragically."

What she meant was definitely to kill the young palace maid.
