Chapter 779: Hypocrisy
With the addition of the guards, the second prince naturally breathed a sigh of relief. ordered to stay alive, and then asked about what happened to You's.
You said that Rika wanted to poison and kill the second prince and forced her to become an accomplice.
Because the wine is not accessible to Lixiang, from the large kitchen to this courtyard, a total of three waiters were changed during the period.
And these attendants have to be searched to ensure that there is no poison on their bodies before they are released, so Lixiang can't find a chance to poison at all.
The last door had to be checked by another chamberlain with a silver needle to confirm that it was not poisonous before it could be brought in.
Lixiang couldn't get close to the wine and food during the whole process, and she could only watch the handover process from the side.
It was only when she entered the house that Rika found an opportunity. She wanted to take advantage of You's inattention and put the poison in the flask.
Who would have thought that You suddenly turned around and discovered Rika's intentions. Lixiang can't, I'm afraid that You Shi will break it, and not only will the plan not succeed at that time, but she will have to take her own life.
So Rika pulled out the dagger, trying to threaten You Shi and get him to cooperate.
This was what the concubine You said at the time, although he felt that there was something wrong. But at that time, for the rest of his life, he was moved by You Shi's sincerity to him, so he didn't have time to think about it at all.
After grabbing Lixiang, Lixiang refused to speak. The second prince thought about it and decided to risk his life.
You can only drink the crane top red in the wine jug, so as to lure the snake out of the hole and find out the master behind the pear fragrance.
But after a while, he felt that this matter was wrong, and there were many loopholes in the concubine You family's rhetoric.
First, why did You Shi pull out a dagger and threaten after You broke through Rika's poison? Isn't it time to kill people?
Because You Shi will not be silent, obediently watching him drink poisoned wine.
If something happens to him in this courtyard, then You Shi will not be able to get out of it, and he will inevitably be implicated.
Second, if he didn't drink, but let You Shi drink first. You Shi knew that the wine was poisonous, so he naturally didn't dare to drink it, wouldn't it be exposed when the time came, but You Shi became Lixiang's accomplice?
Third, it is the most important point. Rika clutches the dagger to threaten Yushi. If he came out of the clean room, how could Rika threaten You with a dagger?
No matter what Rika thinks, he will definitely see the clues.
Of course, You Shi is just a weak woman. When encountering this kind of thing, it is understandable that I panicked for a while and didn't figure out the intention of Lixiang.
I can't say that Rika wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of You Shi at that time, but she just threatened and wanted You Shi to relax her vigilance!
The second prince didn't ask these questions rashly, although he was suspicious of You Shi in his heart, it was not a good time to interrogate at that time.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he came out of the clean room, Rika looked at the dagger stunned, and the doubts in the second prince's heart were even greater.
Was the situation really as you say? He felt that what he saw might not be the truth, at least not the whole truth.
So, while he stabilized You's family, he asked people to take him to another courtyard to rest.
On the one hand, let people closely monitor You Shi to see if You Shi will show any horses.
He then drank some poisoned wine.
"I got the news yesterday that You may be the big brother's secret agent!"
The words of the second prince made the three people present startled, and then the staff member Su Yilian said in surprise: "But I saw that she came into contact with the eldest prince's mansion?" I didn't expect that there are a lot of secret agents in our house, but it's a pity that I can't see it on weekdays. If this hadn't happened, how would we have thought that these two weak women were spies in other mansions? ”
"Therefore, people must not be disguised, and the sea water cannot be measured!" Jiao Ling also said with emotion.
Then why did she shout at that time? Why not let Rika be poisoned, wouldn't it be the same to achieve her goal? Lu Haifang thought of the crux of the matter.
"That's right! If You is an agent in other mansions, then her purpose must be the same as Rika, why doesn't she turn a blind eye? After Rika got her hands on it, she immediately thought about leaving the house and left, wouldn't it be much easier than now? ”
"This is to know what the situation was at that time, who knows if this crane top red is put by pear fragrance? Originally, those words were all You Shi's words, and we all understood that her words could not be trusted. ”
The second prince shook his head, who could know the situation at that time except for Lixiang and You's?
Maybe it was You who framed Rika, and Rika was indeed a spy in another family's house. In short, both of them came to plot against him.
Especially You Shi, the eldest brother can really endure it! You has been in the house for more than five years, and she is the daughter of a poor family he met when he offered incense in the temple.
At that time, You Shi was being molested by several ruffians, and he saved You Shi. Afterwards, seeing that You was beautiful, she sent someone to her house to ask what You family's parents meant, and included them in the house.
Over the years, You Shi has served him very dedicatedly, and he is jealous with other concubines on weekdays, so it doesn't seem to be anything abnormal at all.
Who would have thought that the person who had been lying by his side for five years would be an agent sent by someone else.
After catching You Shi, he went to You Shi's house to arrest her parents, and he was in vain. At this time, the second prince was more sure that You Shi's motives were not pure.
After five years, it would be a lie to say that there is no affection. You has a good color, and he is used to flattering on weekdays, he is a man, where can he avoid vulgarity?
Shook his head and left all of this behind.
Since You Shi entered the mansion with a purpose, the previous feelings for him were all hypocrisy. This woman is really hateful, he can't be soft-hearted.
"Your Highness! If you catch someone, will Your Highness go to interrogate at this time? Wang Shenling came to the door of the study and reported softly.
The second prince immediately looked happy, "Okay! It's coming so fast! Are you sure he has no accomplices? ”
The second prince stood up excitedly and thought about it, if only one person was caught, it would mean that only one party would act, and what about the other mansions?
"He's the only one, he's here to deliver news to Rika." Counselor Wang has already asked for some confessions, and the rest has to be interrogated by the second prince himself.
The second prince's mood calmed down a little, and he turned to look at the hourglass on the table. When I saw that it was almost time, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"It seems that this person and Lixiang are in the same group, and it is about to be over, so it is estimated that there will only be such a little harvest tonight."
"It's not bad to have this gain, you have just been made the crown prince by the emperor and made such a big move, I am afraid that people who don't know the truth will maliciously speculate behind their backs. Even the emperor may be dissatisfied! ”
Lu Haifang felt that this matter should not be rushed, and now that the ceremony has not even been held, the second prince is so eager to eradicate dissidents, which inevitably makes people feel that the second prince is ruthless and can't tolerate his own brothers.
Although they are to blame, the world is so ignorant. If someone spreads rumors that are unfavorable to the second prince, saying that the second prince is ruthless, and he has just become the prince, he will not be able to tolerate his brothers, and his honest and honest appearance before is all pretended.
