Chapter 243 Red Pomegranate
"Have you found it?" Liu Yao looked at Mother Deng in front of him with a little surprise and felt a little unbelievable. How long has it been since he asked them to investigate? One meal at most. Mother Deng came to tell him that she had found out who did it. That's a little too fast.
Mother Deng nodded respectfully and said, "Master, I haven't figured out exactly what's going on. But just when the slaves executed the servants, the red pomegranate admitted that she had put red flower juice in the soup of the imperial concubine.
"Who is the red pomegranate?" Liu Yao frowned and asked.
M Mother Deng showed pain and resentment in her eyes and replied in a dry voice: "Red pomegranate is the girl's dowry girl. She studied with Aunt Su for several years in the capital, so after coming to the palace, she was responsible for the soup and snacks of the imperial concubine..."
There is no need for Mother Deng to explain in detail, Liu Yao has fully understood in his heart. The person who can put Jiang Ting in the kitchen must be very trustworthy in her heart. But such a trustworthy person betrayed her. If Jiang Ting knew about this... He didn't dare to think about it and said to Mother Deng with a gloomy face, "Take me to see the red pomegranate first, I'd like to see it..."
"Mary, bring the red pomegranate to see me." Before Liu Yao finished his words, Jiang Ting's voice came from the inner room.
After hearing this, Liu Yao's heart thumped and rushed into her bed: "Ting'er, such a wolf-hearted girl, what did you do when you see her? Don't be sad, you are just a bewitched maidservant. I know you like delicious food, and I will definitely ask someone to find a better cook for you later..."
Jiang Ting's face was as pale as snow at this time, but she still smiled at Liu Yaoqiang and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. That girl was rescued from the wicked. I want to ask her in person why she wants to hurt me.
"How is it worth asking her in person? Tinger, you take a rest first. Can I help you interrogate me?" Liu Yao looked at his weak wife sadly and couldn't bear to hurt her again.
Jiang Ting shook her head and rushed to Mother Deng, who came in behind Liu Yao and said, "M Mother, you go and bring her here."
M Mother Deng wanted to dissuade her, but she didn't know what to say. Jiang Ting usually looks very easy-going and easy to talkative. But once she is serious about what she wants to do, even nine cows can't pull back her thoughts. When she was troubled by rumors and decided to "suicide" to break the situation, how many people persuaded her and failed to persuade her?
M Mother Deng sighed, bowed to Jiang Ting, and then went out to take someone.
In the woodshed, when Mother Wang saw Mother Deng coming by herself, she couldn't help asking in surprise, "Why did you come here alone?"
M Mother Deng shook her head with a gloomy face and said, "When I went to report to the prince, I was heard by the princess. She wants to see the red pomegranate.
Mother Wang was stunned, took a look at the red pomegranate lying on the ground like a ball of rotten cloth, and then turned her head to look at Mother Deng: "She looks like this, let the imperial concubine see..."
What Mother Wang didn't say was that the concubine was soft-hearted and kind. Seeing the red pomegranate like this, I'm afraid she couldn't bear to hurt her life. But in this way, the slave who betrays the master should be beaten to death and buried in mass graves. But the imperial concubine has opened her mouth, and even the prince has not been persuaded. What can they do? However, if the two really meet, won't it make the princess sad?
"Red pomegranate, the princess wants to see you for the last time. This is a blessing that you can only cultivate in your lifetime. You are the princess who came back from the ghost gate. She trusted you the most, so she asked you to learn cooking from Sister Su and let you take care of her meals. Tell yourself, do you still have a conscience to do this? If you still have a little gratitude, when the princess asks you later, you can answer her truthfully. What you do, even if you die ten thousand times, you can't afford the princess's kindness to you!" Mother Deng did not reply to Mage Wang's words, but scolded the red pomegranate lying on the ground. Then she let the rough woman waiting outside come in to drag people in.
"Wait a minute..." The red pomegranate on the ground suddenly said, "M Mother, please let me wipe my face. I'm afraid that if I see the princess like this, I will scare her.
Red pomegranate got up laboriously, knelt down and looked up to beg the two M Mothers. Her face is stained with blood at this moment, the corners of her mouth are torn, and her nostrils are bleeding. She can no longer see her previous beautiful appearance.
M Mother Wang bit the root of her back socket and spat her fiercely before asked someone to get a soaked rag and throw it to the red pomegranate.
The red pomegranate took the rag and began to wipe his face carefully. Just now, when she admitted that she had betrayed her master, all the girls she knew hated her and annoyed her, and some women who were not familiar with her came to tear her and scratch her. She got 20 sticks on her body, and the meat on her buttocks was rotten. But the wound on her face was beaten by those women.
After the wet rag touched the wound, the strong pain made the red pomegranate almost throw away the rag. But she resisted the pain and slowly wiped her face little by little with tears. After she finished wiping it, the white rag had turned blood red.
The red pomegranate took a deep breath, looked up at the two old ladies and asked, "Ms, can you see my face now?"
The new wound has not been scarred, and the blood has been bleeding. How can it be wiped clean? Mother Wang disgusted her, so she didn't go to see her at all. However, Mother Deng stared at her face and asked in a low voice, "Red pomegranate, have you ever regretted it?"
Red pomegranate was stunned, looked at Mother Deng and shook her head with a smile: "I don't regret it."
Mother Wang was so angry that she raised her foot and was about to kick her face. Mother Deng grabbed Mother Wang and didn't let her kick the red pomegranate face.
M Mother Deng looked at the red pomegranate with complicated eyes and sighed, "Take care of yourself. Come on, clean her up and drag her to the main room.
If the imperial concubine wants to see the red pomegranate, Mother Deng naturally can't let her see the blood stain on the red pomegranate. Mother Deng asked people to wrap the wound of the red pomegranate with linen and wiped her face again before carrying her to the main room.
The red pomegranate was dragged to Jiang Ting's eyes like dragging a sack by those women. The wound on her face shed a lot of blood at this moment, and her face was stained with blood and horrible. And the wound on her body, although it was wrapped in sackcloth, the sackcloth began to bleed in a moment.
Jiang Ting looked at the red pomegranate kneeling on the ground like a pile of mud, and couldn't make a sound for a long time. It was not until the red pomegranate couldn't stand this quiet torture and looked up at her that she asked in a trembling voice, "Red pomegranate, why?"
Red pomegranate looked at Jiang Ting, who was so pale and weak that she couldn't stand it the next moment, and tears gushed out: "Girl, I'm sorry..."
