Chapter 1230: Noble Consort Zhou Knows the Truth
"Tell me, did you drug the soup?" Noble Consort Zhou, who had regained her composure, was full of anger as she scolded Qin 'er, who was kneeling on the ground.
Just now, she was in so much pain that she wanted to commit suicide.
Even Principal Zhang couldn't find out what was wrong with this condition.
Therefore, their only suspicion was that the soup Qin 'er gave her every day was indeed very problematic.
However, because of her drug addiction, Noble Consort Zhou was unable to think at all!
Principal Zhang immediately made a prompt decision to arrest Qin 'er.
The people in this hall were all trusted aides of Noble Consort Zhou, so they were not afraid of being leaked.
They had a vague idea of the relationship between Principal Zhang and Noble Consort Zhou, who were childhood sweethearts.
Principal Zhang suddenly wanted to capture Qin 'er. The trusted aide was baffled, but he still listened to him and immediately sent two people to capture Qin' er.
Headmaster Zhang immediately ordered," Granny, go and inspect her body. See if she's hiding anything."
Granny Zhou immediately went forward and checked Qin 'er's body. In the end, she took out a small porcelain bottle.
Granny Zhou was shocked.
She held the small porcelain and looked at Principal Zhang in disbelief, then at Qin 'er, and then at Principal Zhang again. She stuttered," This… This... She…She…"
Principal Zhang took the small porcelain bottle and looked at it, sniffed it, and frowned.
Because he couldn't tell what kind of medicine or poison it was.
Principal Zhang looked at Qin 'er, who was being controlled, and asked sternly," Where's the antidote?"
When Granny Zhou heard Principal Zhang's words, she was unable to react at all. She asked doubtfully," Lord Zhang, you said that this damned servant drugged the Noble Consort?"
Principal Zhang looked at Noble Consort Zhou's miserable and disheveled appearance and felt his heart ache. He was in no mood to care about Granny Zhou's doubts. He took out a very thick silver needle from the medicine box and pointed it at Qin 'er's temple. He asked with a vicious and fierce expression," Where's the antidote?"
Qin 'er's face turned pale, and her mind went blank as she looked at the silver needles approaching her temple. She shook her head and said," There's no antidote!"
Principal Zhang did not believe her words at all." If you don't say it, I have ways to make you wish you were dead!"
As he spoke, he inserted a silver needle into a part of Qin 'er's body!
"Ah!" Qin 'er cried out in pain.
"Are you still not going to tell me?" Principal Zhang asked in a vicious tone.
Qin 'er shook her head and said, "I really don't know the antidote! However, it was said that the supply of this thing to the subject could not be stopped, or else it would cause extreme pain!"
Principal Zhang held the small porcelain bottle and hesitated for a moment before pouring out the contents. He stirred it into the cup and then forced Noble Consort Zhou to drink it.
A moment later, the disorganized Noble Consort Zhou came to her senses and looked around at the mess in confusion.
"Principal Zhang, this... What's going on?" Noble Consort Zhou looked at Principal Zhang in confusion.
Principal Zhang directly said," Noble Consort, you doubt is correct!"
"What?" Noble Consort Zhou was stunned at first, and then her sharp eyes shot straight at Qin 'er, who was kneeling on the ground!
In the end, the result of the interrogation almost made Noble Consort Zhou collapse.
She had never thought that the person who drugged her was actually her biological brother!
He wanted to control her and her son!
The furious Imperial Consort Zhou immediately ordered this girl who betrayed her master to be beaten to death. The more miserable the beating, the better.
Poor Qin 'er, she didn't even have time to ask her master for help before she was beaten to death by her master.
However, speaking of which, she did not die in vain!
After warning those servants not to leak the matter, only Noble Consort Zhou, Principal Zhang, and Granny Zhou were left in the hall.
Both of them were people that Noble Consort Zhou trusted very much.
Noble Consort Zhou still could not believe that her own brother would actually drug her and her son.
"Noble Consort, what does Lord Zhou want to do?" Principal Zhang asked angrily when no one was around.
Noble Consort Zhou sat on the chair in a dispirited manner. Her exquisite face was covered in blood marks, her hair was messy, and her clothes were unsightly. However, she could not care less about all of this.
She could not understand why her brother would treat her like this.
She believed that she had never mistreated her biological brother. In fact, for the sake of her biological brother, whether it was openly or secretly, she had used her status to suppress the other members of their father's family. Otherwise, with her brother's dull qualifications, he would not be able to support the huge Zhou family.
Their father, Zhou Zhenlin, also had her backing him up. No matter how much he doted on his illegitimate son or grandson, he did not dare to abolish Zhou Dehong's position as the heir of the Zhou family.
However, who would have thought that her biological brother would secretly harm her and her son?
Noble Consort Zhou gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with ruthlessness." Zhou Dehong! Since you're unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
Immediately, Noble Consort Zhou put away all her emotions and said to Principal Zhang," Principal Zhang, you can go back first." I am tired and wants to rest early!"
Principal Zhang looked at Noble Consort Zhou worriedly. "Your Highness…"
"Principal Zhang!" Noble Consort Zhou spoke with a tough and fierce tone.
"This humble subject will take his leave!" Principal Zhang could only take his leave!
After Principal Zhang left, Noble Consort Zhou immediately thought of Yuwen Feiye.
"Nanny, secretly send someone to find Ye 'er!" She was very worried about Yuwen Feiye's condition.
That was because he had also drunk the poisoned soup, just like her. Moreover, Qin 'er had told them that her biological brother wanted both of them to be poisoned!
After Nanny left, Noble Consort Zhou was left alone in the hall.
"Zhou Dehong, since you are heartless, then don't blame me for being heartless!" Then, she looked at the small porcelain bottle in her hand with a ruthless and strange light in her eyes.
After an unknown period of time, Granny Zhou ran back to the Moon Palace anxiously and said," Your Majesty, something has happened!"
Then, she whispered a few words into Noble Consort Zhou's ear.
Noble Consort Zhou's originally pale face immediately became even whiter, like a piece of white paper.
Noble Consort Zhou anxiously stood up immediately." No, I want to see Ye 'er!" But Yuwen Feiye was outside the palace.
According to the rules of the palace, these concubines who married into the palace were not allowed to leave the palace without the Emperor's permission. Even Noble Consort Zhou was no exception!
However, Granny Zhou stopped Noble Consort Zhou and said, "Your Highness, you can't go! Once you go, you will immediately attract the attention of the people in the palace. At that time, won't the situation of the Third Prince immediately spread throughout the Imperial Palace?"
Noble Consort Zhou immediately became anxious and said," Nanny, what should we do?"
Granny Zhou looked at the small porcelain bottle in Noble Consort Zhou's hand and said," Your Highness, look…" She signaled Noble Consort Zhou with her eyes.
