Chapter 25: Volume 1, Chapter 25: Something is wrong

The owner of this voice was Yun Yarou.

As soon as Yun Yarou said this, everyone's gaze fell on her.

"Why, is Second Sister hoping that County Princess Ning'an has something wrong?" Yun Qiyue asked.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Yun Yarou with suspicious eyes.

And Lady He, Bai Shi, also looked at Yun Yarou with unkind eyes at this time, "What does Second Miss Yun mean by this?"

Yun Yarou was secretly annoyed that she couldn't hold her breath, while looking at Yun Qiyue with an incredulous and sad look, "Third Younger Sister, how could you think of Sister like this? Sister is just wondering why the doctor said he was powerless just now, but how is she fine after you went in, unless..."

Speaking of this, Yun Yarou suddenly closed her mouth as if she had mentioned something she shouldn't have.

Although Yun Yarou didn't finish her sentence, everyone understood what she meant.

What else could it be unless?

Naturally, it meant Yun Qiyue was carrying an antidote.

After hearing Yun Yarou's words, everyone also looked at Yun Qiyue suspiciously.

Facing everyone's suspicious gaze, Yun Qiyue looked back as if looking at a fool, "Is Star-Lost Powder very difficult to solve?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Yes, Star-Lost Powder was not difficult to solve, and there was no need to carry an antidote, and the doctor couldn't possibly not know how to solve it.

But was it not because of carrying an antidote? Could it be that Yun Qiyue's medical skills were superb?

A former fool, who would believe it?

Even if everyone present knew that Yun Qiyue had said at the gate of the General's Mansion that she had been guided by an immortal in medical arts, most people just listened to it as a joke and didn't really believe it.

And Bai Shi didn't want to listen to these lawsuits at this moment. As early as hearing Yun Yarou say "the doctor was powerless," Bai Shi had already panicked.

Ignoring everything else, she went directly to the Princess and said: "Princess, this subject's daughter... where is my daughter? This subject's daughter wants to see my daughter..."

Her bitter daughter Lan'er, if she had known this would be the result today, she would never have let her come to this banquet today.

Xuanyuan Rao didn't say anything upon hearing this, only pointing to the inner room.

Seeing this, Bai Shi rushed into the inner room regardless, while He Mingxuan stood in place without leaving.

He Mingxuan swept his gaze toward Yun Yarou and Yun Qiyue, and finally clasped his fists to the Princess, "Please, Princess, give my sister justice."

Xuanyuan Rao looked at He Mingxuan, "Since the matter happened in this palace, this palace will naturally give you justice."

He Mingxuan didn't say much upon hearing this.

Xuanyuan Rao then looked at Yun Qiyue, "Do you have anything to say?"

Yun Qiyue looked at the Princess neither humble nor arrogant, "Everything is up to the Princess to investigate. This subject's daughter believes the Princess will give this subject's daughter justice."

Xuanyuan Rao frowned upon hearing this.

However, at this time, the guard who went to investigate came back quickly and whispered something in Xuanyuan Rao's ear. Everyone only saw the Princess's face getting darker and darker, with anger in her eyes.

Then, Xuanyuan Rao's gaze looked at Yun Qiyue.

Seeing this, everyone only thought that the Princess's mansion guard had mastered the evidence that Yun Qiyue poisoned He You Lan, and everyone looked at Yun Qiyue with disgust.

However, Xuanyuan Rao suddenly shifted her gaze from Yun Qiyue and fell on Yun Yarou, asking coldly, "Yun Yarou, do you have anything to say?"

Yun Yarou was stunned, looking puzzled, and then shook her head, "This subject's daughter has nothing to say."

The matter was done by Yun Qiyue; she couldn't wait for Yun Qiyue to be punished, so what was there to say?

Xuanyuan Rao frowned upon hearing this, looking at Yun Yarou with a sharp gaze, "Do you mean you plead guilty?"

Yun Yarou looked up in shock, looking incredulous, "Princess, this subject's daughter... what does this matter have to do with this subject's daughter?"

Why was she pleading guilty, and what did it have to do with her?

Seeing Yun Yarou's reaction, Xuanyuan Rao was not in a hurry, but ordered the guard, "Bring her up..."

Soon, the guard went out and brought a maidservant up.

This person was Zhiqin.

The moment she saw Zhiqin, Yun Yarou's pupils shrank, and a bad premonition hit her heart.

Zhiqin was brought up, also looking panicked.

Seeing the Princess, she knelt down and begged for mercy, "Princess, this servant was wronged; it wasn't this servant who did it, and this servant doesn't know how that Star-Lost Powder got on this servant, please Princess, investigate clearly..."

As she spoke, Zhiqin kept kowtowing, and her forehead was bleeding.

Listening to Zhiqin's words, Yun Yarou was even more incredulous.

How could it be?

How could there be medicine on Zhiqin?

She did prepare to deal with Yun Qiyue today, and she also thought about borrowing a knife to kill, but... but the one she wanted to kill was Yun Qiyue.

Although she didn't know why that person didn't take action against Yun Qiyue later, after He You Lan had an accident, she simply borrowed strength to hit strength, deliberately saying those words, making people shift their suspicious gaze to Yun Qiyue.

Yun Yarou's shock was all seen by Yun Qiyue, which made Yun Qiyue couldn't help but frown, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember where it was wrong.

Xuanyuan Rao didn't look at Zhiqin but looked at Yun Yarou, "Is she your maid?"

Yun Yarou wanted to deny it, but still nodded, "Yes... but this subject's daughter has never ordered this maidservant to do such things, please Princess, investigate clearly."

As she spoke, Yun Yarou was already kneeling.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Rao's expression was unclear, only staring at Yun Yarou.

Yun Yarou only felt great pressure. At this moment, she didn't even know why the matter was buckled on her, and she didn't know why Yun Qiyue was fine, but the one who had an accident was herself.

However, she didn't have time to think too much, and the top priority was to clear herself first.

Thinking of this, Yun Yarou immediately made a decision in her heart.

Everyone only saw Yun Yarou suddenly stand up and slap Zhiqin beside her, "Vile maid, I trusted you so much, how could you do such a thing behind my back?"

Zhiqin was slapped, and for a moment, she was a bit confused.

Hearing her Miss's words, she shook her head, "Miss, no, it's not like that..."

"Slap—" Yun Yarou slapped her again.

"You still refuse to admit your mistake? Do you deserve your parents' upbringing and my cultivation?" Yun Yarou questioned, staring at Zhiqin, her eyes full of hatred.

Yes, she hated.

Why couldn't she hate?

If it weren't for this damn maidservant being calculated by someone, how could she face this situation?

Even if she could be cleared today, her reputation would have a stain.

Zhiqin looked at Yun Yarou's eyes and listened to her words, and at this moment, she finally understood her meaning, and for a moment, her face was ashen.

She knew that she was dead today.

Whether it was her or not, she had to admit it.

For the sake of her parents and relatives in the mansion, she couldn't implicate her Miss.

Thinking of this, Zhiqin said, "Princess, it... it was this servant..."

Zhiqin said, and for a moment, she was a bit stuck, but soon she thought of a reason, "It was this servant who couldn't stand the Third Miss's bad attitude toward our Miss after she got well. This servant saw the Third Miss alone with County Princess Ning'an, so she had evil intentions and wanted to poison County Princess Ning'an to frame the Third Miss... these were all decided by this servant herself, and the Miss didn't know about it."

Xuanyuan Rao looked at Zhiqin, her eyes pondering, and directly ordered, "Come, drag her out and beat her to death!"

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue's pupils shrank.

Wrong!

Very wrong!

The matter was solved too smoothly, and even the source of the Star-Lost Powder wasn't asked.

Moreover, since Yun Yarou wanted to frame her, why would she leave such a big handle?

Moreover, there were many ways to frame her; this trick of borrowing a knife to kill today was obviously not very clever.

Yun Yarou had Xu Shi behind her, who had been in the inner house for many years; it was impossible for her to let Yun Yarou come up with such a flawed strategy.

Especially, this was the Princess's mansion.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Yun Qiyue couldn't help but look at the Princess, but saw that she was also looking at herself at this moment, and those cold eyes seemed to carry a trace of warning.

This... could it be... ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
