Chapter 7 Aunt Qing is on Trial
Chapter 7 Aunt Qing is on trial
Yu Yunxi's face darkened.
If she came in and saw that Feng Yili was not lying in the cold jade coffin, she would definitely complain.
Ignore the earrings for now, it’s important to get Feng Yili back into the coffin.
Just when she was worried, Jiang Ying came back through the window.
"Princess, I'm back, and I've brought back the things you asked for." Jiang Ying said excitedly while wiping her sweat.
As a result, Yu Yunxi examined the herbs and medical books he handed over carefully and found that they were what she wanted.
She calmed down and said quickly: "Hurry up and send your master back to the cold jade coffin."
"But the cold jade coffin is so cold..."
"Put the quilt down below and have this." Yu Yunxi said, taking out the warm jade from her body and placing it on Feng Yili's body again.
Seeing this, Jiang Ying nodded gratefully to her and hurried to carry the person.
After doing this, Jiang Ying hid, while Yu Yunxi hid half of the medicine on herself, the other half in the cabinet with the medical books, and then went to open the door.
Seeing Yu Yunxi opening the door so late, Grandma Liu spoke in a strange tone, her words concealing a sense of temptation.
"Princess, you opened the door so late, but what are you doing in there?"
Yu Yunxi's eyes flashed, she twitched the corner of her mouth, and said calmly: "The cold jade coffin is cold. I got cold last night, so I got up a little late. Why, this matter also requires me
Can you explain it to Aunt Liu?"
Aunt Liu said with a non-smiling smile: "The concubine said, Princess, you lost face by the prince yesterday because of your rudeness. She will definitely punish you later. You have to go and boil the medicine for the prince now."
Yu Yunxi raised her eyebrows, her expression calm, but her heart was filled with joy.
She was worried about how to give Feng Yili Mu Lichun's antidote. Now, the opportunity came to her door.
When Yu Yunxi went to the kitchen, she found that all the servants had been driven away, and there was not even anyone to help.
"Princess, the most important thing when preparing medicine for the prince is sincerity. You have to do it yourself." Aunt Liu stood at the door and spoke provocatively.
Yu Yunxi sneered secretly, did she think she couldn't make fire or cook medicine?
She quickly rolled up her sleeves, washed the pot, and lit the fire. She worked very efficiently.
Aunt Liu originally wanted to see Yu Yunxi make a fool of herself, but this scene made her very angry.
With her back to Aunt Liu, Yu Yunxi exchanged the two medicine bags, and she poured the medicine bag Jiang Ying brought into the water.
"Princess, how come I heard that the fire in the ancestral hall last night was not an accident, but someone seemed to have done it deliberately?" Grandma Liu raised her voice and spoke to Yun Xi in a meaningful way.
Yu Yunxi squatted down to add fuel to the fire, his expression so calm that no one could see anything strange, "Oh? Then it seems that this person is really powerful, and he can also do something in the Regent's Palace."
"Princess, if you burn the ancestral hall of the royal ancestors, you will punish the nine clans, right?" Aunt Liu walked up to her step by step and looked at her condescendingly.
Yu Yunxi put down the piece of firewood in her hand, then raised her head and said casually, "Mommy, I am also a smart person, so I naturally know that this is a serious crime."
"Since the princess knows that this is a serious crime, why do she still make the mistake?" Nanny Liu leaned over and narrowed her cloudy eyes with a gloomy expression.
"Mom, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Don't pretend to be confused! When the ancestral hall caught fire yesterday, where was Aunt Qing beside you? Some servants already said that they had seen her appear at the ancestral hall when the fire broke out. If there were no accidents, the concubine is now
She is already being interrogated. Princess, if you had gone to plead guilty to the concubine earlier, you might be able to save half your life."
Aunt Liu spoke sadly, the pride in the corners of her eyes almost rising to the sky.
Yu Yunxi's smile froze, and her heart tightened.
No wonder I haven't seen Aunt Qing from yesterday to now.
It turns out... something happened.
Aunt Liu had probably been testing her since she knocked on the door.
But soon, her expression returned to calm.
She covered her mouth and chuckled, with a bright light in her eyes, "Mother Liu, if the concubine is suspicious of me, just call me for interrogation. But the concubine hasn't said anything now, so you come to question me.
My princess, is it possible that your status in the palace is higher than that of my mother-in-law?"
"Don't change the subject. You must have ordered Aunt Qing to do what happened yesterday. It was you who burned the ancestral hall!" Aunt Liu said bitterly.
With a "pop", Yu Yunxi's smile faded and her eyes turned cold. She quickly raised her hand and slapped him hard.
Aunt Liu didn't react in time, so she slapped her face, and then her face swelled up.
"How dare you hit me?" Aunt Liu has been domineering in this palace for so many years, but recently she has often been offended by Yun Xi, and now she slaps her. How can she bear it?
Pulling up her sleeves, she rushed towards Yu Yunxi.
Her body was much fatter than Yu Yunxi's, and when she pounced on her, she felt like she was being overwhelmed by a mountain.
Yu Yunxi turned slightly, and she threw herself on the ground with all fours in the air. Her nose was bleeding from the collision, and she was in a state of embarrassment.
When the servants waiting outside the door saw this scene, they all suppressed their laughter.
Aunt Liu likes to abuse them on weekdays, and seeing her make a fool of herself today made them happy.
The princess is truly extraordinary!
"Mama Liu, this princess is the regent who was personally proposed by the emperor to marry. You have accused me of burning down the ancestral hall of my ancestors without any evidence. Are you saying that the emperor has a bad eye for people?"
This time it was Yu Yunxi's turn to look down at Nanny Liu, her voice cold as she spoke.
"The concubine has already interrogated the young aunt next to you, so why is there no evidence?" Aunt Liu bared her teeth.
"It's just an interrogation, not a conviction. Besides, even if it's a conviction, is it your turn to accuse this princess?"
Yu Yunxi shouted coldly, and the momentum made Grandma Liu tremble. The arrogance that she wanted to continue to be arrogant was reduced a lot.
"You, just wait, I will go to the concubine to accuse you!" Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and got up and ran out.
After a while, the housekeeper came over and came to the kitchen himself.
He looked at Yu Yunxi with gloating, "Princess, the concubine asked you to pass."
