Chapter 401 - In the Princess Royals Manor, Wang Yueyue Framed Xuetong (2/2)

“Your Highness, King Chu’s Lady was poisoned about 2 hours ago, and the dosage was not much, so she did not die on the spot. But the King Chu’s Lady was in poor health, so she could not hold on and die of the poison. And the poison is named poisonous orchid. She drank it through her throat.” The doctor of King Ning’s manor knew better than that of Princess Royal’s manor, because he not only told the time of the poisoning but also what kind of poison it was.

The poisonous orchid was not a rare medicinal material in the Qin Kingdom. It was available in all aristocratic families, which was used to punish disobedient people like concubines.

Two hours ago? It was when the banquet was about to end. That was to say, all the people present were suspects.

“Your Highness, at that time, Lady Ning was sitting beside our Lady, and some even helped dishes to our Lady.” The nanny kneeling on the ground said immediately.

According to the seat arrangement at that time, Ling Fengyan had Princess Royal on the right and w.a.n.g Yueyue on the left. Princess Royal was a senior, and she never helped Ling Fengyan for any food. But w.a.n.g Yueyue was the cousin’s wife, so she did help Ling Fengyan some food mannerly when seeing Ling Fengyan’s feeble look. It was not a big deal, but now when it came to this matter, w.a.n.g Yueyue’s movement at that time was quite inexplicable.

“Lady Ning, what else can you say?” Feng Yuxuan said coldly.

w.a.n.g Yueyue had already collected herself at this time and realized that Feng Yuzhen was unreliable and that she had to rely on herself. She did not step back but came up to curtsy to Feng Yuxuan.

“Your Highness, as the manor doctor said, Lady Chu was poisoned for about 2 hours. That is today, the time lasted after the closing of the banquet. During that period, Lady Xuan was also present, and three of us still had some talks. And Lady Chu did not feel uncomfortable. But after Lady Xuan left, Lady Chu told me that she felt uncomfortable. Then, Lady Chu and I talked for a while. And Lady Chu spat black blood and died. If I really conducted it, why did Lady Chu react like that?”

In every possible way, w.a.n.g Yueyue was trying to get Mo Xuetong under the spotlight. Only when people thought Mo Xuetong was one of the suspects could w.a.n.g Yueyue get away! As long as w.a.n.g Yueyue was of use to Feng Yuzhen, he would not abandon her!

Her brunt was directed at Mo Xuetong!

“Yueyue, what you said is not true. I was a little far away from Fengyan at that moment. Why did it have something to do with me? Besides, the relations.h.i.+p between Fengyan and I was not so close, and I was turned away from you far. Later, I left in a hurry because I went to take care of my King. During that period, I did not give anything edible to Fengyan. Do you want to s.h.i.+ft the blame on me? Have you ever considered King Xuan? Have you ever considered Her Highness?”

Mo Xuetong looked up, and her bright eyes were faintly misty. With a grieved look, She defended herself in a timid manner, her eyes full of grievance and sorrow. Anyone would feel she was wronged for no reason. Mo Xuetong looked at Princess Royal for help.

Hearing Mo Xuetong’s remark, Princess Royal felt angry inwardly and could not help giving a snort.

Although Mo Xuetong was Feng Yuran’s consort, she was Princess Royal’s daughter. w.a.n.g Yueyue’s words showed great suspicion to Mo Xuetong that Mo Xuetong was much more likely to poison Ling Fengyan to death undetected. However, w.a.n.g Yueyue’s words also led the fire to Princess Royal.

Because if Mo Xuetong could do it undetected, it could not be completed without Princess Royal’s help. Otherwise, how could Mo Xuetong have done it reconditely?

w.a.n.g Yueyue was stunned and did not expect that Mo Xuetong could react so quickly and deliberately misinterpreted her words to s.h.i.+ft the topic on Princess Royal.

w.a.n.g Yueyue tried to explain, but merely met with Princess Royal’s cold eyes. It was undeniable that if Mo Xuetong did poison Ling Fengyan to death, Princess Royal could not escape responsibility for it. So just now, w.a.n.g Yueyue deliberately bypa.s.sed the topic about Princess Royal with the attempt to bear down Mo Xuetong first, but out of w.a.n.g Yueyue’s expectation, Mo Xuetong’s counterattack made w.a.n.g Yueyue fell into a dilemma and not dare to speak carelessly.

w.a.n.g Yueyue thought that Mo Xuetong was really not so innocent as she looked, instead, she was so crafty.

However, at that moment, w.a.n.g Yueyue could not retreat and could even feel the Feng Yuzhen’s eyes as chilly as ice behind. w.a.n.g Yueyue got a bit stiffened, gritted her teeth and wailed. “If Lady Xuan does not believe, you can ask those maidservants on the spot at that time. Lady Chu felt uncomfortable when you left.” w.a.n.g Yueyue turned to ask the nannies kneeling on the ground, “Lady Chu asked you to bring a basin of water and washed her hands and face, right?”

It was true. As soon as Mo Xuetong left, Ling Fengyan said that she felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and ordered people to take a basin of water to wash her face. And then, she sat down and chatted with w.a.n.g Yueyue.

The kneeling nanny thought and nodded. “Yes. I served My Lady to wash the face. Because I was unfamiliar here, I requested a maidservant in the Her Highness’ manor take it away.”

This was to say that Mo Xuetong was more suspicious than w.a.n.g Yueyue.

For a moment all the people in the room set their eyes on Mo Xuetong, and fell into silence, so deadly and suffocating.

“Lady Xuan, why did you change your clothes in a while? Why did you change your clothes suddenly?” A sharp-eyed girl screamed abruptly.

Immediately, people’s eyes on Mo Xuetong became astonished. Indeed, the clothes on Mo Xuetong was not what she wore when she came here before.
