"My lord, I did not lie. I saw it with my own eyes. Concubine Yun accused my young lady of poisoning Madam Liu. To prove her innocence, my young lady drank the poisoned tea and lost her life."
"Yes, if my young lady really wanted to poison Madam Liu, why would she risk her own life?"
"Yeah yeah."
"I beg Lord Wang to redress the injustice done to my young lady. My master and his wife are thousands of miles away, and they only have one daughter. My master is honest and upright, and he has devoted his life to the people. Now my young lady has lost her life. How can my master and his wife accept this?"
The two maids knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Lord Wang's face darkened, and the look he gave Zhao Yunzhu was filled with a hint of hatred.
Obviously, she was persuaded by the two maids.
Zhao Yunzhu took a deep breath, her eyelids drooping slightly as she looked at Lord Wang. A hint of displeasure lingered in her tone. "I don't think Lord Wang has gotten to where he is today by relying on a few random words to solve cases. Everything requires evidence."
"I never said I wouldn't cooperate, much less that I wanted to run away. Doesn't your Majesty think these two maids have bad intentions by instigating you like this?"
"Besides, Madam Liu's life is in danger right now, and the imperial physicians are doing their utmost to treat her. These two maids are crying so hard, could it be that they are afraid that Madam Liu will be saved by the imperial physicians?"
Zhao Yunzhu's sharp eyes fell on the two maids, and her tone became colder. "You two, do you know that framing and slandering this concubine is a capital crime!"
The two maids were frightened by Zhao Yunzhu's aura.
The two looked at each other, trembling, their eyes revealing an instinctive fear of death.
But the next second, as if remembering something, they both became resolute again, "Concubine Yun, even if this servant of yours dies, you will definitely seek justice for my young lady!"
Lord Wang had been hesitant before, but when he saw the two maids were ready to die, he finally felt a little sympathy in his heart.
Zhao Yunzhu sneered, "Master Wang, there's no need to worry. This concubine won't run away. After the imperial physician treats Madam Liu, this concubine will naturally return with Master Wang!"
After saying that, Zhao Yunzhu walked to the corridor. Linglong placed a cushion on the wooden chair and helped her sit down.
Seeing this, Lord Wang naturally could not order people to drag Concubine Yun back.
The two maids were still kneeling in the yard, while Lord Wang took the officials to the corridor on the other side to wait.
Soon, Prime Minister Liu personally escorted the three imperial doctors out of the room.
"I'm sorry to have troubled the imperial doctors today." Prime Minister Liu looked heavy-faced, but he still tried his best to force a smile to thank the imperial doctors who came to help today.
The three imperial physicians waved their hands repeatedly, with a hint of helplessness and a wry smile on their faces. "Prime Minister Liu, I'm so sorry, we're not very busy."
"yes."
"Prime Minister Liu, please accept my condolences. There is no need to send me off. Prime Minister Liu, please go and get busy."
After several imperial doctors said their goodbyes, they turned around and saw the situation in the yard, frowning secretly.
Prime Minister Liu's expression became increasingly awkward.
Lord Wang stood up and stepped forward, bowing to Prime Minister Liu and saying, "Prime Minister Liu, please accept my condolences. I will not disturb you today."
Prime Minister Liu just said "hmm" and turned around to personally escort the three imperial doctors out of the house.
Lord Wang looked at Concubine Yun, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
"withdraw."
Lord Wang raised his hand and ordered his men to retreat.
The two maids who were still kneeling on the ground suddenly panicked. When they stood up, they felt dizzy because they had been kneeling for a long time. The two of them supported each other and barely managed to hold up their shaky bodies.
"Lord Wang—"
"How can I escape? You know where the government office is."
Lord Wang scolded them harshly before they finished speaking, but his words contained some guidance.
The two maids beside Miss Wang nodded blankly.
When Prime Minister Liu came back after sending the imperial physician away, he glanced coldly at the two maids, who were so frightened that they lowered their heads in fear and trembled uncontrollably.
Prime Minister Liu walked over to Zhao Yunzhu, and she stood up. "Prime Minister Liu, please accept my condolences."
"Concubine Yun, please tell me the truth about what happened."
Now that everything is a foregone conclusion, Prime Minister Liu just wants to know what happened today.
"To Prime Minister Liu, Madam Liu was poisoned after drinking Miss Wang's tea. Everyone was gathered around Madam Liu at the time, and I was the only one with Miss Wang."
As she spoke, she slowly turned her head and pointed at the two maids in the courtyard, saying sarcastically, "Miss Wang's maid was hiding outside the hall. Miss Wang hated me for helping Madam Liu and committed suicide by taking poison. Her maid took advantage of the chaos to escape and sued me for slandering Miss Wang, ultimately forcing Miss Wang to death."
As Prime Minister Liu listened to the facts spoken by Zhao Yunzhu, his eyes grew colder.
Why was Miss Wang able to marry her wife's nephew?
Prime Minister Liu was naturally aware of all this. Who else could he do this for except his own disappointing son?
"Come here, tie up these two maids and lock them up in the woodshed!"
At Prime Minister Liu's command, the maids came forward and tied up the two maids.
No matter how they struggled, they couldn't break free.
"Mother!"
"aunt!"
As miserable screams came from inside the house, Prime Minister Liu no longer cared about the surroundings and rushed into the house.
Zhao Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, but finally followed.
When he walked into the room, he saw the old women and maids kneeling on the floor, and General Liu and Madam Liu's nephew kneeling beside the bed.
Prime Minister Liu's body stiffened.
His tall figure revealed a sense of age and weakness.
It felt as if there were iron balls tied to my feet, and every step was extremely difficult.
"lady……"
Prime Minister Liu stretched out his hand tremblingly, but it stopped in mid-air. Looking at his wife lying on the bed, a sense of sadness rose in his heart.
The crying in the room added to Prime Minister Liu's sorrow.
"Give the order to send the lady back!"
There was a hint of sadness in Prime Minister Liu's voice.
The old woman retreated immediately.
Zhao Yunzhu sighed and quietly retreated from the room with Linglong.
"Forget it, let's go back."
The Liu family is still busy now, and it would be inappropriate for her to be here.
I just took my people and left for the time being.
Got on the carriage.
Linglong's tense mind finally relaxed a little, "Miss, is there anything else going on with Lord Wang?"
Zhao Yunzhu frowned and shook her head. She didn't know either.
"Miss, how about asking the prince to come back?" Linglong couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Don't bother the prince. There's no need to worry. Just wait patiently. We still have the Liu family. We have nothing to worry about."
Prince An's Mansion.
Zhao Yunzhu just sat down to rest when Aunt Hua noticed something was wrong.
She took Linglong outside to ask her in detail, and Linglong told Aunt Hua the truth about what happened today.
When Aunt Hua heard this, she was shocked, but she still secretly sent someone to deliver a message to Prince An.
After today's ordeal, Zhao Yunzhu felt a little tired.
She woke up after sleeping on the bed for only half an hour.
