LOVE OR DESTINY

99

The Queen Mother was almost angry with him. But Lian Cheng quickly defended Xiao Tan. Even though Qing Yun drank Xiao Tan's wine, but Xiao Tan never touched his wine cup, he also never left this banquet.

Jing Xuan also supported Xiao Tan. He could be a witness. The waiter who brought in the poisoned wine and he poured it. Xiao Tan couldn't possibly have had a chance to poison the wine.

Eunuch Li sniffed the cup and confirmed that it was the poisonous wine and directly pointed at the servant who was carrying the wine. The servant was immediately forced to kneel before the Queen Mother.

The waiter was terrified and tried to convince the Queen Mother that she was innocent. Precisely when he was outside earlier, he had collided with the Crown Princess.

He said that his legs hurt and told him to put down his wine and take him some medicine. But by the time he returned with the medicine, Pan Er had already disappeared. He then hurried in to bring the wine.

The Queen Mother swore she would make her life hell if she dared to tell a lie. Pan Er panicked, but she did not lose her mind and accused the waiter of slandering her and asked the Queen Mother not to believe this servant's words.

Mr. Qu immediately defended his daughter and assured her that her daughter had no grudge against Qing Yun, so she couldn't possibly do that.

Lian Cheng demanded the Queen Mother to continue investigating, she should get an answer because Qing Yun was her second wife and she died in vain.

"Whether it was the servant or the Crown Princess, if they had poisoned the wine, then the poison would still be on them. We have to search them."

A guard searched the waiter, but he found nothing. Pan Er is panicking. But there was nothing he could do as Eunuch Li approached and began to rummage through it.

"You...! Especially your defense now?!" The Queen Mother. "Guards! Catch her!"

Mr. Qu frantically tried to defend Pan Er. He was convinced that this must be a misunderstanding. Yi Huai and Pan Er did not move from their seats. Seeing that Yi Huai was silent, Mr. Qu asked her to beg the Queen Mother.

But what he did not suspect, Yi Huai coldly took off his hands. Pan Er had already dared to take such an action, he would not tolerate it.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, so Queen Mother please give her the appropriate punishment."

Mr. Qu frantically begs the Queen Mother's mercy for Pan Er and forgives her.

But of course there's no apology for him. The Queen Mother ordered the guards to arrest Pan Er right now and lock her up in the basement, no one was allowed to visit her.

That night, Mr. Qu prostrated himself before Yi Huai and tried to ask Yi Huai to save Pan Er for his sake, who had always been loyal to Yi Huai.

Yi Huai refused. This matter had become like this, how could he possibly save Pan Er.

"Although not for my sake, Crown Prince please, consider your conjugal relationship..."
