Chapter 571 Go meet another person

When their eyes met, Lu Yan knew that she must have heard what she had just said, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Qingrui, don't misunderstand me, that's not what I meant."

"I didn't misunderstand, and you are telling the truth." He Qingrui walked in. "I know you will definitely think that I betrayed Wei Yao too quickly just now, but I did see her throw the porcelain bottle into the lake with my own eyes. If I don't say it, it would be a crime of harboring someone."

"Qingrui, this can't be called betrayal. There's nothing wrong with you telling us about this. We just think that things happened too suddenly. We stopped you at that time just because we wanted to figure it out first." Jiang Suining said.

"I also think this matter is sudden, but since there is poison in the bottle, it means that Wei Yao is lying to us. And Sui Ning, your previous guess was totally wrong. You trusted Wei Yao too much. If you could have exposed her when you first noticed that something was wrong with her, then maybe you wouldn't be like this now..."

He Qingrui paused and didn't say the rest of the words, but it was obvious that there was a hint of blame in her words.

She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and continued.

"Anyway, I don't think I did anything wrong just now. If you want to blame me, there's nothing I can do."

Because of He Qingrui's stiff tone, the atmosphere between the few people became tense.

Lu Yan opened her mouth, and the words "I don't blame you" stayed on her lips. However, she was so upset that she couldn't say it.

Jiang Suining did not speak either, just remained silent.

He Qingrui looked quite disappointed when she didn't hear any comfort. The atmosphere around her was gloomy and she muttered again.

"I just don't want to be implicated by Wei Yao. Is that wrong?"

Jiang Suining finally spoke, and she tried to slow down her tone.

"Qingrui, we didn't mean to say that you did anything wrong, and we really don't blame you. Maybe it's really like what you said, and I guessed wrong. But I just think that there may be something else behind this matter, and we can't jump to conclusions so quickly."

He Qingrui said in a muffled voice: "There is no conviction yet. As for whether it is Wei Yao or not, the Imperial Guards will naturally investigate. We can't assume that the other party is not the murderer just because they have a good relationship."

Lu Yan frowned and explained, "Qingrui, Sui Ning is not someone who can't figure things out. She naturally can't..."

He Qingrui interrupted Lu Yan, "I'm tired. I've been worried since the Queen's accident yesterday. I want to take a rest now. If you want to blame me, you can do it, but I think I have a clear conscience."

After saying this, He Qingrui turned around and walked out with red eyes, holding back tears.

Lu Yan dejectedly swallowed the words she had not yet finished saying and watched He Qingrui leave.

Until He Qingrui's figure disappeared, the words that had not yet been said turned into a sigh. Lu Yan turned to Jiang Suining, looked at the other party with frowned eyebrows and silence, and comforted him.

"Sui Ning, don't be angry or blame yourself for what you just said. Qingrui might just be saying that because she was emotional. We believe you and we don't blame you for this."

After all, poisoning the Queen is a very serious matter. If someone really wants to do it, Sui Ning alone cannot stop it.

Speaking of which, she and Qingrui were with Ayao day and night, but they didn't notice anything wrong at all. In this case, they were the ones who were more careless.

What's more, the matter has not been concluded yet, and there may really be a misunderstanding.

Jiang Suining shook his head. "I'm not angry. I'm just thinking about what to do about this matter. Now we have evidence and witnesses, and the news is spreading like wildfire in the palace. If A Yao is really the murderer, then it's fine. If she is not, I'm just worried that in this case, it will be difficult to find evidence to prove her innocence."

Lu Yan frowned, "I guess this news will be reported to the emperor soon. If the emperor gets angry and convicts A Yao immediately..."

Lu Yan didn't dare to think about the following words. Half an hour ago, they were still worried about not being able to find any clues about the poisoning. But she didn't expect that only half an hour had passed and they would have to start worrying about Wei Yao's life.

Jiang Suining frowned and thought, "The most urgent thing now is that we need to find out whether A Yao lied or not."

"It's difficult. I'm afraid the Royal Guards won't let us see her."

After all, A Yao's identity as a female official was there, and although she didn't ask Qing Rui just now, Qing Rui must have already explained everything they had planned to conceal about the porcelain bottle from the beginning.

In other words, perhaps in the eyes of the Royal Guards, they can all be regarded as A Yao's accomplices. In this case, they probably will not be allowed to meet.

Jiang Suining's eyebrows flashed with fatigue, but he quickly cheered up again and said in a deep voice: "If I can't see A Yao, then I can only go see someone else."

……

When Xiao Yue heard the news that Wei Yao was arrested, she was extremely nervous.

And when she heard that the porcelain bottle found contained poison that could poison the Queen, she was even more confused and had no idea what was going on.

Just when he was extremely confused, he received a report from Jiang Suining and Lu Yan asking for a meeting.

She stood in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, making sure that she looked normal and there was nothing wrong with her expression, before she had Jiang Suining and Lu Yan brought in.

"Your humble servant greets the Fifth Princess."

"Your humble servant greets the Fifth Princess."

Jiang Suining and Lu Yan bowed and saluted.

Xiao Yue took a cup of tea and leaned back in the chair. He lifted the lid of the cup with his right hand and scraped the foam in the cup from time to time, then spoke casually.

"I heard that there has been some progress in the case of the Queen's poisoning. Why are you two busy investigating that matter instead of coming to see me?"

"Your Highness, the princess, the two of us are here to ask for an audience with you regarding this matter," Jiang Suining replied.

"Oh?" Xiao Yue looked curious and raised her eyes to look at the two of them. "This princess doesn't know what's going on in this matter that requires you to come and see me. Tell me what you think."

It seems that Xiao Yue has already confessed the matter of him making her chin juice.

At this point, he had no choice but to deny it and insist that Wei Yao was talking nonsense.

In an instant, Xiao Yue had made a decision in her heart. Although she was still a little nervous, she couldn't find any problems in the expressions of the two men.

Jiang Suining and Lu Yan looked at each other, and the next moment, Jiang Suining spoke.

"Princess, according to Wei Yao's account, the physical evidence found, that is, the porcelain bottle containing the poison, was given to her by you, the Fifth Princess. And everything she did was in accordance with your orders."

Xiao Yue had prepared herself mentally, waiting for them to question her about the basil juice, but she didn't expect to hear about poisoning.

The hand holding the teacup trembled, and a few drops of tea spilled out of the cup and landed on Xiao Yue's dress, leaving a few tea stains.
