Chapter 88: Consequences, murdering the princess is a capital crime
Ding Xiang, who was about to leave, was shocked when she heard this. "Yes, it's your servant, but the water is not hot enough? Your servant, I will add some more water..."
Lin Miaoyin stopped him, "No need, you go down first."
Dingxiang's tense body suddenly relaxed.
"besides……"
Ding Xiang heard Lin Miaoyin's voice when she reached the door. She became nervous again and turned around to ask, "Does the princess have any other instructions?"
"Close the door when you go out."
"Yes." After saying this, Dingxiang quickly left the room as if she had been pardoned.
After the door was closed, Lin Miaoyin looked at the hot steam rising from the bath tub, and her face darkened little by little.
She took some bath water and put it into the medical system for testing.
It didn't take long for the results to come out.
There was a flash of coldness in her eyes, and she finally took action!
Just as she was about to call Yuzhu, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Princess, don't take a bath. Don't take a bath!" Dingxiang said anxiously, with a hint of anxiety on her face.
Seeing that Lin Miaoyin was dressed neatly and had not yet taken a bath, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Lin Miaoyin asked pretending to be confused.
Ding Xiang bit her lip and knelt down, "This servant deserves death, please punish me, Princess."
At this moment, her eyes were clear, and the struggle just now was gone, replaced by incomparable determination.
"Get up first and speak clearly."
"Reply, reply Princess, I added... added something to your bath water." Dingxiang lowered her head, and at the end of her words, she buried her head directly on the ground, and her body began to tremble.
Once she just said a few unpleasant words to her, and she destroyed her face. Now she poisoned her, wouldn't she want her life?
Even if she didn't punish her, she would not be able to survive if the Queen found out.
She didn't dare to think about the consequences of this matter.
"What was added?" Lin Miaoyin's voice remained calm, and she was not affected by Dingxiang's words.
Dingxiang was stunned and subconsciously looked up.
There was a bathing tub between her and Lin Miaoyin, and in the mist, the expression on Lin Miaoyin's face could not be seen clearly.
"Why aren't you talking?" Lin Miaoyin's voice remained calm.
Her calmness made Dingxiang even more uneasy. She knelt on the ground, trembling so much that she couldn't speak.
At this moment, Yuzhu ran over from the yard and threw the thing in his hand directly at Dingxiang's face, "Dingxiang, tell me what this is?"
Dingxiang's face turned even paler as she looked at the oil paper falling in front of her.
Because there was still some white powder left in the oil paper, which was exactly what she had just added to the bath water.
She closed her eyes and spoke with difficulty, "This is... This is a disfiguring drug."
"Disfiguring medicine?" Yuzhu was shocked.
"Yes, if it gets on the skin, it will... cause ulcers and pus to ooze out..." Dingxiang's voice gradually faded away as she spoke.
"You are so brave!"
Yuzhu was furious and slapped Dingxiang in the face. "You are an ungrateful bastard. The princess saved your father, but you poisoned her. You poisoned her whole body with poison. How can you be so vicious?"
She didn't dare to think about what would happen if the princess bathed in such water.
This slap directly tore off the gauze on Dingxiang's face, and the ugly scar was instantly exposed to the air.
At the same time, her cheeks slowly began to swell redly.
Ding Xiang didn't care about the burning spot on her face at all, but tried her best to cover the ugly scar, "Don't look at me, don't look at my face..."
The scars on her face worsened again.
"Where did this medicine come from?" Lin Miaoyin asked.
"Yes...I bought this medicine from the clinic." Dingxiang said with her head down.
Lin Miaoyin scolded: "You're lying!"
"The princess and I just went to Nanshan Hall a few days ago. There was no such filthy stuff there." Yuzhu snorted coldly and said angrily, "It's already now, and you still don't want to tell the truth?"
"I didn't buy it from Nanshan Hall, but from... from the medical clinic in the north of the city."
"North city? Which one? Take me there now." Yuzhu said and dragged her to the ground.
Ding Xiang knelt down firmly, refusing to stand up. "Princess, please don't ask any more questions. I did this. You, you can punish me."
"Lilac, as long as you give out the person behind this, I can pretend that this incident never happened."
"No, there is no one behind the scenes."
After Ding Xiang finished speaking, Yuzhu kicked her and said, "The princess has said so, why are you still stubborn? You should know that murdering the princess is a capital crime, and even your parents will be implicated by you. Are you sure you still want to protect him?"
"I..." Dingxiang panicked when she heard that her parents would be implicated.
Yuzhu was furious, "Princess, since she is determined to die and won't tell anyone, then let's do it according to the rules!"
Lin Miaoyin slowly leaned over and said, "Dingxiang, I'll give you three days to think carefully about whether the lives of your entire family are more important or the person behind you is more important."
She then instructed Yuzhu, "Keep the news of what happened tonight secret, not a single word of it can be leaked out."
Ding Xiang looked up suddenly.
He looked at Lin Miaoyin in disbelief, gratitude and guilt flashing in his eyes.
"What are you still standing there for? Just do what you are doing. Go boil some water. I want to take a bath." After saying this, Lin Miaoyin turned around and went back to her room to read.
Dingxiang immediately picked up the silk handkerchief from the ground and covered the scar on her face again, then snatched the bucket from Yuzhu to fetch water, "It's all my fault, let me do it."
Looking at her busy back, Yuzhu snorted angrily.
Don't think that this will erase the fact that she intended to murder the princess. Just because the princess doesn't pursue the matter doesn't mean she will let her go.
The next evening.
Dingxiang hurried out without having dinner.
After coming out of the back door of the palace and walking all the way to the bluestone alley, she saw a tall and majestic figure in the distance, and joy suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Just as he was about to run over, he caught a glimpse of a purple figure flashing in front of the gray figure.
Isn’t that... the purple bamboo in the Qingzhu Courtyard?
They actually know each other?
Just as she was thinking, she heard voices not far away.
"Cousin, so many days have passed and there is no news at all. What's going on?"
Hearing Zizhu addressing the man, Dingxiang could not hide her shock. They were actually relatives, why had Zhuangge never told her before?
Then Li Zhuang said, "I urged her every day, but who knew that little bitch would be so slow."
"Hurry up, we don't have much time."
"I know, I know." Li Zhuang was a little impatient, and then he stretched out his hand to Zizhu, "Give me another two taels of silver."
"Two taels of silver? That's my monthly salary!"
"It's not like I won't pay you back. When I make a comeback, don't even mention two taels of silver. I'll give you ten taels directly!"
Seeing that Zizhu had no intention of paying, Li Zhuang said unhappily: "You make me face that ugly thing every day. I am disgusted and can't even eat. You don't know how ugly her face is, with sores and pus, and it smells bad. Now I want to vomit when I think about it. I asked you for two taels of silver, but you didn't give it to me. You should find someone else to do this hard job..."
Ugly...
Sores and pus, nausea...
Dingxiang looked at the tall figure in disbelief. Her face turned paler with every word he spoke.
