Chapter 1417: Furious with Rage
"I'm asking you, why aren't you speaking?" Madam Wang felt secretly surprised, could it be that the poisoning matter has been exposed? No, if it really were exposed, the Prince wouldn't have invited her over for breakfast.
Thinking of this, she felt much calmer. This treatment, that little cheap person Madam Situ definitely doesn't have.
This proves that in the Prince's heart, she, the Princess Consort, is definitely much more important than that little cheap person Madam Situ.
Long Rui said coldly, "Princess Consort, is this your maid?"
"Yes, she is indeed my maid. Last night she disappeared, I worried about her all night, so I was a bit emotional when I just saw her." Realizing her reaction was intense, the Princess Consort immediately explained.
She couldn't deny it even if she wanted to, everyone in War Prince's residence knew Xiao Cui was her close maid.
Long Rui said casually, "She committed a crime and was taken by Long Yi to the prison for severe questioning all night."
Madam Wang's heart skipped a beat, could it be that the matter has been revealed?
"You stupid maid, how does this Princess Consort usually teach you? You dare to commit a crime, tell me, what exactly did you do? You must explain clearly to the Prince, resisting will lead to severity, confessing will lead to leniency, understand?" Madam Wang put on an air of righteousness.
Xiao Cui hung her head, not saying a single word.
Madam Wang became even more anxious, what's wrong with this stupid girl? She didn't even give her a hint so she could be mentally prepared.
Long Rui slammed the table and said coldly, "Everyone, quiet down."
The War Prince was angry, everyone was scared, this guy could kill without blinking an eye.
No one dared to make a sound, sitting in place, they perked up their ears, ready to hear how the Prince would handle this case.
The Servant boy was already frightened by the atmosphere on the scene, especially seeing the two rows of neatly dressed guards with machetes at their waists, glaring fiercely at him, making his legs go weak.
Long Yi stood beside Long Rui and said loudly, "Maid Xiao Cui, repeat your confession from last night in front of everyone."
Kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair and dirty face, Xiao Cui looked up and took a sneaky glance at Madam Wang, saw her glaring with a warning look, quickly lowered her head, thinking, anyway, she had already pressed her fingerprint on the confession last night, it was impossible to retract it, for the sake of survival, she gritted her teeth, steeled her heart, closed her eyes, "Prince, spare me! It's not my fault, everything was instigated by the Princess Consort."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang immediately panicked, "You stupid girl, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Princess Consort, you should admit it, I've confessed everything."
"Confess what? This Princess Consort didn't do anything, why should I admit it?" Saying this, Madam Wang turned to Long Rui and shouted her grievance, "Prince, this stupid girl must have been bribed by someone and is biting the hand that feeds her. Prince, you must do justice for me."
Madam Wang just wouldn't admit to instructing the maid to poison.
Xiao Cui's face suddenly turned gray. She never thought the Princess Consort would be such an old rogue, clearly instructing her to poison Madam Situ, now she wouldn't admit it and even said she was instigated by someone else, claiming it has nothing to do with her, trying to get away.
Xiao Cui: "Prince, Prince, I haven't left the mansion for days. If the poison wasn't given by the Princess Consort, where would I get it?"
Moreover, currently poison control is very strict, even if ordinary families have Silver, going to a pharmacy doesn't guarantee anyone would dare to sell.
Those with money and power have it differently, they can buy it anytime.
