As soon as these words were shouted, not only Mrs. Peony was shocked, but also the people around her were startled.
The next moment, there was a "crack" sound, and the long sword and short knife were placed on Tang Lilan's neck at the same time.
Tang Lilan was forced to kneel on the ground with a bang!
"How dare you poison Concubine Ming, you should be punished!"
Chen Ning, who was holding the sword, and Jing He, who was holding the dagger, looked at each other coldly, feeling unhappy about their "tacit understanding", but they only looked away.
Ming Lanruo raised the corners of her lips with a cold expression: "The cake Mrs. Peony gave me was poisonous? Does Miss Tang San know what she is talking about?"
Mrs. Peony was stunned and immediately shouted instinctively: "Impossible! There is no poison in the cake!"
At this time, the noisy first floor finally alerted the men on the second floor. Shangguan Hongye led the men downstairs and immediately strode to Ming Lanruo's side.
"How are you?" His expression flashed with anxiety, he took her arm and looked her up and down.
Ming Lanruo glanced at him inexplicably, why did this man look so worried about him?
She calmly pulled her arm back and said calmly: "Miss Tang San said that Madam Peony poisoned my flower cake."
Tang Lilan's face changed drastically. At this moment, she had no idea anymore. She was kneeling down when someone stabbed her neck with a sword, but the guards of the Tang Mansion just stood still, which made her understand what a stupid thing she had just said!
But she couldn't come back, not to mention that she was stuffed with poisonous cakes by Mrs. Peony, and her whole body was in a state of confusion and collapse: "I...I don't know...I, I...
....".
"Pah!" A very hard slap suddenly hit her face!
This slap made Tang Lilan spit out a mouthful of blood. She looked at Magistrate Tang in disbelief and pain: "Father...Father?"
She is the only one who can hit people in this life, and even Ruan doesn't dare to touch her hair!
She had already eaten the poisonous cake and now she had a seizure. She felt severe pain in her stomach and vomited out a mouthful of blood again: "Oh, father, help..."
But before she could shout "Help", Magistrate Tang raised his hand and slapped her hard on the face again with a cold look on his face, angrily scolding -
"You bastard, what are you talking about? As a father, I will give you a good wake-up call!"
This time, Tang Lilan was whipped so hard that she screamed and fell to the ground. She rolled her eyes and fainted with bleeding from her mouth and nose.
I don't know if it was the blood from being poisoned or the blood from being beaten. In addition, the person was fainted, so Ming Lanruo was unable to press him for questioning.
She looked at Magistrate Tang coldly. He was indeed a powerful character, making decisive decisions and killing decisively.
Magistrate Tang looked distressed, bowed to Ming Lanruo and said, "Princess, this evil beast disturbed you, please forgive me!"
"She was so rude because she liked Xiao Yanzi who was next to you so much. Please forgive her for the sake of today's official!"
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows, oh, the magistrate made a good use of his words to blame her for concealing her identity!
Shangguan Hongye sneered and raised his eyebrows: "Ha, so she holds a grudge and asked Mrs. Mudan to poison the princess?"
Mrs. Peony knelt on the ground with a pale face: "I have no concubine. If I were poisoned, I would die without a burial place!"
Ming Lanruo: "..."
Well, although this aunt is a tiger, she is still a smart person, and her poisonous oath was very good, because the poison was indeed not caused by Madam Peony, but probably by this idiot Tang Lilan.
Magistrate Tang made a wry smile: "This child has been spoiled by us. He always talks about his words. It's our fault for offending the empress. How dare he poison her in front of her? Isn't this stupid enough to seek death!"
Minglan said with a hint: "Haha...yes, some people are just stupid enough to seek death."
Tang Lilan is the kind of idiot who can't survive the first episode in a storybook.
Seeing this, Magistrate Tang seemed to have made up his mind and immediately asked someone to pick up the flower cake that had fallen to the ground: "If the prince and princess don't believe it, I will let the children share it!"
With that said, he immediately asked people to distribute flower cakes.
Shangguan Hongye did not stop him. He watched coldly as the children of the magistrate each took a piece of cake and were forced to eat it with ugly expressions on their faces.
