C154 Crimes to be committed (1/2)

The wet nurse screamed her lungs out.

The empress's eyes lit up when she heard this. So he looked at Mu Ru Yue and said, ”Speak! What exactly is going on? ”

”Imperial Mother, that dead chef, he died after eating the food that his imperial sister-in-law had eaten. ”The imperial concubine didn't do anything. It was obvious that he was poisoned to death by the poison.” Princess Wuyou said unwillingly.

Hearing that, Princess Yun Rou laughed, ”Oh? If that was the case, then why was Seventh Sister-in-law fine? In my opinion, Seventh Sister-in-Law did it on purpose because she was angry, right? ”

”They've already prepared the dishes, why am I still angry?” Mu Ru Yue looked at Princess Yun Rou and asked. Hearing this, Yun Rou's tone became stiff, ”Perhaps it is because you think that they did not listen to your orders, so you have hatred in your heart.”

”Then, how did Princess Yun Rou know that they wouldn't listen to me?” Mu Ru Yue continued to ask.

Princess Yun Rou's expression changed as she slammed the table and shouted, ”Mu Rong Yue! What do you mean? ”You're the one on trial right now, yet you dare to act rashly in front of the empress dowager?”

”Empress, I don't know how to deal with someone who doesn't abide by the rules and doesn't respect others.” Mu Ru Yue looked at the empress. Upon hearing that, the empress frowned. ”We should naturally teach her a lesson.”

”Then, is it wrong for me to ask a chef who does not have the slightest bit of respect for me and Princess Wuyou and even refused to take out a dish to taste the dishes he cooked? Taking a step back, even if I wanted his life, there was no need to poison him. Just kill him. At that time, I won't be guilty, right? ”

Mu Ru Yue looked at the empress with a calm and cold tone.

When the empress and Princess Yun Rou heard this, their hearts skipped a beat.

They were so focused on suppressing Mu Ru Yue that they had forgotten that Mu Ru Yue was currently part of the Royal family. The empress was embarrassed.

”Princes and commoners, they are both lives. What the wangfei did really makes one feel disgusted.” The person that spoke was the person that had not revealed anything earlier, Nangong Zi Yuan. She looked at the nurse with eyes full of pity.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she couldn't help but laugh. The Prince and the commoners were guilty? How dare you say that to the Emperor!

”Seventh Princess, this person doesn't deserve to die. You're just recklessly killing innocents.” The empress frowned, not caring about anything else as she spoke straightforwardly.

”But I didn't kill him. I was just making a hypothesis. If the empress didn't believe it, she could ask others to investigate whether there was any poison in the dishes and whether there was some counterproductive force from the very beginning! Is someone unrighteous and wants to use this matter to harm Ninth Princess and me?! ”

Mu Ru Yue looked at them coldly as she said that.

The empress hadn't expected Mu Ru Yue to be so straightforward and unyielding.

”Who knows if you had your dishes changed after you poisoned them!” The head of the imperial kitchens had previously reported that he was defending you! ” cried the nurse angrily. Hearing that, the empress added, ”That's exactly the case, Seventh Princess. If he really poisoned her, why are you still alive after eating it? As long as you can explain this matter, I will believe your words! ”

Mu Ru Yue smiled when she heard what the Queen said. Let her prove it?

”Sister-in-law?” At the side, Princess Wuyou was also worried. Although she didn't know why Mu Ru Yue was fine, if she really proved that Mu Ru Yue was fine even if she was poisoned, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

To others, it could be imagined that a person immune to all poisons was a tempting person. There would even be people who would want to ask how she had done it. It would do her no good at all. However, if they didn't, they would falsely accuse her, saying that she had killed the chef.

Right now, this was the empress's territory. Even if there were a hundred reasons, it would be impossible to explain it.
