Don’t Mess with the Dark Princess

  Chapter 217 Motive for committing the crime

  Huang Yueli was also a little surprised.

   Unexpectedly, Bai Ruoqi could come up with this trick. As expected of her cousin, she is really smart and...shameless enough!

  Huang Yueli made a shocked expression at the right time, widened her innocent eyes, and said in disbelief: "Second sister, you...how could you say that about me? How could I slander you?"

   She bit her tender lower lip, as if she was about to cry.

   When the queen mother saw her, thinking of the grievances she had suffered in these years, she felt even more sympathetic.

   "Li girl, don't be sad, Aijia believes that you are not such a person! Qier, how can you say that about your sister? Aijia really didn't expect that you are such a person!"

   "Empress Dowager, you are too partial, Qi'er has proof!"

  Bai Ruoqi gritted her teeth and defended herself loudly.

   "Before Qi'er fainted just now, she was drinking with the third sister, so the suspicion that she poisoned the wine is the biggest!"

  The queen mother was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Huang Yueli, "Is that so?"

Huang Yueli said aggrievedly: "Yes, we were indeed drinking at that time, but it was obviously the second sister who came to drink with me, and she brought the cup and flagon, and the second sister is such a powerful expert, how can I have the ability Poisoning under her nose?"

   "Then you mean, I poisoned myself and drank the poisoned wine myself? Am I so stupid?"

  Huang Yueli pursed her lips with an innocent face.

   "I... you said you were stupid, but I didn't say..."

  Hearing this, many people in the audience couldn't help but burst out laughing.

   "Pfft..."

   "It's so funny, there are still people who say they are stupid!"

  Bai Ruoqi blushed, she couldn't believe it, she didn't check for a while, and fell into Huang Yueli's trap again!

   "It's useless for you to be sarcastic about me! When Doctor Liu came over just now, did you propose to use silk to diagnose the pulse? If it wasn't for your ulterior motives, why did you go so far? It is clear that you and Doctor Liu have colluded long ago!"

   "What am I colluding with?"

  Huang Yueli's expression became even more innocent.

   "Second Sister, I did propose Xuansi Pulse Diagnosis, but I did it for your sake! After all, where your bleeding is... there... If the imperial physician sees this..."

"What do you mean?!"

"Besides, I really don't understand why Dr. Liu would 'misdiagnose' when Xuansi was diagnosing the pulse. When he saw the patient's face, he wouldn't misdiagnose it? Why? Could it be that Dr. Liu misdiagnosed or picked the right person? He Who is the target?"

  Huang Yueli opened a pair of curious big eyes, as if she was really confused and needed Bai Ruoqi to clarify.

  Bai Ruoqi was at a loss for words when she asked her this!

  She didn't expect Huang Yueli to react so quickly, and caught the flaw in her words all of a sudden!

  If it is said that Doctor Liu will not "misdiagnose" Bai Ruoqi when he saw Bai Ruoqi, wouldn't it mean that the mastermind behind this incident has nothing to do with her?

Bai Ruoqi had no choice but to avoid this topic, and continued: "Anyway, we were the only ones drinking at that time, and it was either me or her who poisoned me. Of course, I couldn't poison myself. The only suspect is Bai Ruoli. Besides, She also has a great motive for committing the crime!"

   "Oh? What motive?" asked the Queen Mother.

  Everyone present also pricked up their ears.

  Bai Ruoqi said loudly: "Bai Ruoli has always regarded herself as the fiancée of His Royal Highness, and she wants to get rid of me as a competitor!"
