The soup had just come out of the pot and was very hot. She immediately put down the anti-fetal medicine and only looked at her burned arm.
Although the time is short, if someone wants to give medicine, or just change a bowl of medicine, it is completely enough.
The person who bumped into her at that time was Xiaoli, the maid next to Concubine Sun.
"Xiao Li, I bumped into Xiao Li on the way to deliver the medicine this morning. Someone must have tampered with me when I was putting the medicine on the steps!"
Xiaoli acted confused and shook her head repeatedly: "There is no such thing. I have never been to the kitchen today. How could I bump into you?"
"You are lying. You brought a bowl of soup and hit me hard. Half the bowl of soup was poured on me. My arms are still red, swollen and blistered."
Chunqin immediately picked up her sleeves, and sure enough, her white arms were red and swollen, covered with large and small blisters, which was very shocking.
Concubine Sun spoke again: "What does this prove? Maybe you accidentally burned it yourself and used it to get away with it?"
In Chunqin's eyes, everything was obvious. It was Concubine Sun who framed her, but in the eyes of others, Concubine Sun's statement was very reasonable, but Chunqin was too suspicious.
"Princess, you have to believe me, I really didn't do anything..."
Yu Yunxuan said to Xiao Yunchen: "Your Majesty, Chunqin is quite impatient and easily impulsive, but she cannot be so bold to do this.
There are still many doubts about this matter, and I hope the prince will learn from it!"
Concubine Sun suddenly sneered coldly and laughed sarcastically: "Princess, if I were you, I would never plead for such a cruel and ruthless slave. People who don't know this would think that the princess intends to protect her shortcomings.
If that's all, that's it. If some people think you have other motives for doing this, wouldn't you be in trouble?"
Anyone with any brains knows that the implication of her words is that Chunqin was ordered to give Concubine Rong the medicine, and that person was Yu Yunxuan.
Yu Yunxuan lowered her head slightly, a sharp edge flashed in her dark eyes, and there was no expression on her face, as if she didn't take Concubine Sun's words to heart.
Xiao Yunchen looked at Yu Yunxuan for a long time and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he said: "Now the evidence is conclusive. Chunqin is the one who drugged Concubine Rong. The princess no longer has to plead for her. Someone, drag Chunqin out and beat her to death with sticks!"
"Your Majesty!" Yu Yunxuan was shocked and immediately protected Chunqin and said urgently: "This matter has not been fully investigated, how can Chunqin be executed so hastily?
Please give me a day, Your Majesty, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, and by then it will not be too late to convict Chunqin!"
Xiao Yunchen did not listen to Yu Yunxuan's suggestion, and said with a cold face: "There is no need to check, the current situation is too obvious, pull Chunqin down!"
"Your Majesty, this slave is unjustly accused. You can't kill innocent people indiscriminately!" Chun Qin hugged Yu Yunxuan tightly, hoping that she could save her life, "Princess, this slave did not drug Concubine Rong, please save my slave.
…”
Everyone present had different expressions as they watched Chun Qin being forcibly separated from Yu Yunxuan and dragged out of the yard.
Yu Yunxuan struggled with all her strength, but her arms were held by several maids, and she could not break free no matter how hard she tried. After a while, Chunqin's pitiful cry came from outside.
After about half a stick of incense, the screams gradually became quieter, and then a boy came in to report: "Your Majesty, Chunqin has died."
As if struck by electricity, Yu Yunxuan immediately collapsed to the ground and fainted.
Xiao Yunchen said with an expressionless expression: "Send the princess back to rest. Find a place to bury Chunqin's body!"
When Yu Yunxuan woke up, it was already two hours later. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yunchen sitting on the edge of the bed, with a moon-white back.
She turned around, turned her back to him, and asked calmly: "What did you do with Chunqin's body? As the master, I failed to save her life. I should give her a place to stay after she dies.
You won’t become a wandering ghost.”
Xiao Yunchen looked back at her and stretched out his hand to her shoulder, wanting to give her some comfort, but when it reached mid-air, he slowly took it back.
Then he said: "She has already been buried."
After pondering for a moment, Yu Yunxuan asked again: "Actually, you know that Chun Qin was wronged, right? With your intelligence, it is impossible to see through Concubine Sun's conspiracy."
Xiao Yunchen nodded: "Yes, I know that the person who administered the medicine was not Chunqin."
"Then why do you still want to execute her?" Yu Yunxuan suddenly turned over and sat up, looking at Xiao Yunchen with burning eyes, "Why do you want to make her the scapegoat?"
"Because she must die." Xiao Yunchen's tone sounded quite cold.
Yu Yunxuan never knew that he had such a side, and she couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
"Must die? Why is it necessary?" Yu Yunxuan smiled bitterly, "Because she is mine, so she must die, right?
In fact, you are always on guard against me. You have to get rid of everyone around me before you can feel at ease, right? Or maybe you can't bear to punish Concubine Sun, so you use a lowly maid
To take the blame?"
Xiao Yunchen didn't expect that she thought this way, and he was surprised and a little aggrieved at the same time. "In your eyes, I am such a cold-blooded and ruthless person who regards human life as nothing."
Yu Yunxuan shook her head and said with a sad face: "Originally I didn't think so, but today, after you executed Chun Qin without blinking an eyelid, I didn't know."
Yesterday I received a letter from Bai Yuxian from the Western Kingdom, and learned that Chunqin and Qiu Xue were the people placed by the Queen of the Western Kingdom.
The letter said that Concubine Yun Gui had cooperated with them, but there was one requirement, that is, Yu Yunxuan must be protected and Chun Qin and Qiu Xue must be eliminated.
Today's incident happened suddenly. Chunqin happened to be involved and he was the number one suspect. He made a quick decision and took the opportunity to get rid of Chunqin first.
However, Bai Yuxian also warned in the letter that Yu Yunxuan should not be told about Concubine Yun's trouble for the time being, lest she would have other thoughts.
"Then, princess, just think that I am cold-blooded and ruthless. People cannot be resurrected after death. Please show your condolences and accept my resignation. I will leave first."
This incident ended with Chunqin's death, and no one mentioned it again after a few days.
Yu Yunxuan had a minor illness and lay in bed for several days before gradually getting better. However, Concubine Rong suffered such a heavy blow that she was immersed in pain and lingered on the bed.
Xiao Yunchen would go there to visit every day, and would often see Yu Yunxuan, but they just sat there for a while and rarely talked to each other. The already estranged relationship between the two became even more estranged.
On the Western side, Ye Fuxun and Yu Xiunan's alliance plan to resist the enemy has made new progress.
