Chapter 15 The Nine Princesses Who Can't Die and Drown

Xia Hongmo held Xia Baoer on his knees and sat down, observing her expression.

The situation was dangerous last night. When the imperial physician said that a lot of arsenic was poured into the bowl of rice soup that Xia Baoer ate, he was very worried.

Looking at Xia Baoer's originally round face, it seemed that after the torture of last night, his jaw became a little pointed.

Only these big and lively eyes were slapping at him with their long eyelashes.

Xia Hongmo touched the ends of Xia Baoer's hair: "Baoer, tell my father, are there any other things you don't feel uncomfortable?"

Xia Baoer shook her head, her little nipples were a little weak, but she still tried hard to comfort her father.

"Baoer is no longer in pain, it makes her mother and father worried."

At this time, the father-in-law Dequan came in, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

He seemed to be talking about something, but after looking at Concubine Hui, he looked at Princess Ninth, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

Xia Hongmo handed Xia Baoer back to Hui Guipin and hugged her, and said in a deep voice: "Just talk here, what have you found out, who poisoned me?"

"It's Luhe," said Dequan's father-in-law: "Just just called the coroner to check it out. Luhe committed suicide by taking arsenic and then jumping into a well. It must be that when she found out that she was guilty and she made such a bad decision."

Concubine Hui covered her lips and was frightened a lot.

"Luhe is one of the palace maids assigned to serve her concubines by Shanggong Bureau. She usually looks very honest, but she didn't expect that she would poison Bao'er."

Xia Baoer sat sensibly on Hui Guipin's lap and listened to the adults talking.

Xia Hongmo's face looked like a deep pool: "Luhe is just a palace maid. What reason does she have to harm Baoer? Someone must have instructed her behind her, and what else can be found?"

Dequan said carefully: "I just wanted to ask Cai Pei, the palace maid who lives in the same house with Luhe, so I sent someone to find her. Unexpectedly, I heard that she was talking to others in the garden..."

He said, quickly lifting his eyelids and glanced at Concubine Hui and Xia Baoer.

Dequan bowed and said, "The slave has sent someone to capture Cai Pei. What she said just now, let her explain to His Majesty in person."

Soon, Cai Pei was held and pressed into the hall by two guards.

Cai Pei is also one of the palace maids serving Hui Guipin. Her hair is messy and her eyes are filled with horror.

She crawled on the ground: "Please to your Majesty, concubine, princess!"

Dequanlise said: "Say what you just said in the Imperial Garden again in front of His Majesty!"

Caipei immediately kowtowed: "I don't dare!"

Xia Hongmo sneered: "You dare to speak out behind your back. But when you come to me, you don't dare. Dequan! Let her be tortured again, and see if she still says or not."

Moral Dequan was about to send someone to take Caipei, but she suddenly hurriedly asked for forgiveness.

"I'll ask you all! I've just told people in the Imperial Garden... that the Ninth Princess is a monster."

Concubine Hui was shocked: "Cai Pei! What are you talking nonsense? I treat you very well, so how can you swear by others!"

"I didn't say nonsense! The Ninth Princess drowned in the pond first, and suddenly she could run or jump again. And last night, the Ninth Princess obviously ate half a bowl of rice soup with arsenic, but now she has been safe!"

"Not to mention, the Ninth Princess was stupid before, but now she is smart and sensible. She can't die of water and can't die of poison. She is not a monster, so what is it?!"

Facing Cai Pei's improper words, Hui Guipin burst into tears. She hugged Xia Baoer tightly and looked at Xia Hongmo: "Your Majesty, she deliberately framed her!"

Xia Hongmo's eyes were a little unstable.
