Auntie Zhou guiltily raised her eyelids, "Madam Liu, harming others is wrong. Wang Ye already knows about the things you forced us to do. Fortunately, we repented in time and didn't harm Wang Fei. Everything we did was because you forced us to do. "
"So what you two said when you ran in just now was a lie. You were both luring us into a trap?" Madam Liu maliciously gritted her teeth. Her eyes were burning with anger. She wanted to burn the two of them to ashes!
Chu Xuanchen's hawk-like eyes coldly swept across the room. He ordered in a deep voice, "Madam Liu dared to drug Wang Fei. There must be poison hidden in this room. Someone come, search for Wang!"
With his order, Mo Li and the others quickly went to search Madam Liu's cloth bag.
He casually searched Madam Liu's cloth bag and found several bottles of poison. One of the bottles had the words "Wormwood on the Snow" written on it.
He quickly took the medicine and handed it to Yun Ruoyue, "Niangniang, we found Wormwood on the Snow in Madam Liu's cloth bag. Niangniang, please take a look and see if this poison is the same as the one in the fish soup."
Yun Ruoyue opened the medicine bottle and sniffed the powder inside. Then she sniffed the half bottle of powder that Auntie Zhou gave her. She coldly said: "It smells exactly the same. This is Wormwood on the Snow!"
"Madam Liu and Nangong Rou dared to poison Wang Fei and let Wang catch them red-handed. Someone come, take the two of them to the Nangong Fu. Wang wants Nangong Wen to give an explanation to The Emperor of Li's fu! "
Nangong Wen was Nangong Rou's father. He was the current Minister of Rites and one of the Emperor's people.
"Don't, Wang Ye. Please spare my mother." When Nangong Rou heard that she was going to be taken to the Nangong Fu, she instantly knew they were finished. She quickly threw herself at Chu Xuanchen's feet to beg him.
Chu Xuanchen's face was as cold as ice and as heavy as water. He pushed her away, "You committed a capital crime. If Wang let you off, he would be letting Wang's Wang Fei and child down."
"But your highness, you still owe me a life saving grace. Can I use this grace to exchange for my mother's life? I beg you to spare her this one time. she won't dare to do it again! "Nangong Rou. com
Madam Liu looked at Nangong Rou speechlessly.
Why was she so impatient and admit her guilt?
She originally wanted to quibble and say that the poison was found by Aunt Zhou and the others to frame her. In the end, her daughter actually admitted to the crime. She was angry and furious.
... Wang...... saving saving saving saving Wang Wang's's's is...... is.... e......... Nangong Rou, this prince no longer owes you anything! Come, take them away! "
Nangong Rou looked at Chu Xuanchen with a desolate gaze as she allowed the people to take her away.
She deeply looked at him and then looked at The Emperor of Li's Palace where she had lived for half a year. Her heart felt very uncomfortable.
Countless fragments of her life in The Emperor of Li's Palace entered her mind. She still remembered when he first married her into the palace. The large red sedan and the sounds of gongs and drums filled the air. Now, she was a prisoner and was going to be chased out by him.
He was still so noble and arrogant, cold and aloof. But when he looked at her, his eyes were filled with disgust.
She knew that the distance between them would grow further and further. He would stand higher and higher until he reached the peak of the mountain. She would be a lowly ant that could only look up at him. She was not worthy of standing with him.
After taking Madam Liu and her daughter away, Chu Xuanchen coldly stared at Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang. In a deep voice, he said, "As for these two, they can be spared the death penalty, but they cannot escape punishment. They will each be beaten fifty times before being chased out of the Imperial City. They will never be allowed to take a step into the Imperial City again."
"Many thanks to your highness for sparing our lives … …" Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Xuanchen.
They had poisoned the wangfei and had committed a capital offense. Now that they were only beaten fifty times and kept their lives, they were already very satisfied.
This time, not only did they not get any money, they almost lost their lives. They did not dare to be greedy and do bad things again.

On the way to the Nangong Palace, Yun Ruoyue told Chu Xuanchen about the disfigurement powder.
In the past, she had fought with Nangong Rou for the title of the number one beauty. She had been poisoned for no reason and had become ugly.
She had investigated the culprit for many years but had never found him.
