Chapter 588 Interrogation in the Hall
Suddenly, a member of the royal guards ran to Xing Yue and bowed to him. “Report Sir, when Miss Tessa was drinking just now, we found a waiter sneaking out of the palace, so we detained him.”
Upon hearing this, Xing Yue’s expression darkened. He couldn’t help but turn to look at Imperial Concubine Anna. The waiters were all from the palace, so he wanted to see what she meant.
“How dare he! How dare he do such a thing at my banquet? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the person you detained here. I want to see who gave him the guts.” Imperial Concubine Anna said angrily.
She was not pretending, but she was really angry. She had not held a banquet of this level for a few years. She wanted to take advantage of this International Fragrance Competition to have a good time, but she did not expect such a thing to happen. It was simply slapping her and the Country F’s royal family’s face. Tessa, the daughter of the Presidential Manor, had a relapse here. If she didn’t give the Presidential Manor a satisfactory explanation, it would easily cause internal strife between the royal family and the regime in Country F, which was something she didn’t want to see.
The detained waiter was brought up very quickly. Xing Yue sized him up and asked, “Tell me, why did you run away?”
Although Xing Yue looked very sunny, his stern face was still very frightening. Coupled with his innate toughness, ordinary people did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of him.
The waiter’s legs trembled violently. If not for the support of the two guards, he would have fallen to the ground and could not move. The waiter’s face was pale. He admitted with evasive eyes, “Yes, I drugged the wine, but I only knew that it was laxative. I didn’t expect it to be like this…”
Xing Yue’s expression was cold. “Who instructed you to drug her?”
Upon hearing this, the waiter’s Adam’s apple bobbed. Then, he turned to look at Feng Qing on the other side, his triangular eyes flashing with a complicated expression. At this moment, Xie Jiuhan walked to Feng Qing’s side and took out a few disinfectant wet wipes from his pocket. Feng Qing took the wet wipes and wiped the dirty thing on her hand as she looked into Xing Yue’s eyes. “Do you think I asked him to drug the wine?”
Xing Yue retracted his gaze and turned around to walk to the waiter. He said condescendingly, “Are you sure she instructed you?”
The waiter’s eyes flashed. He did not dare to look into Xing Yue’s dignified eyes for a moment. He was extremely nervous. This kind of interrogation made him feel like he could not breathe.
Xing Yue’s face darkened as he said emotionlessly, “Then tell me, how did she order you to poison the wine?”
Hearing that he was finally asking about the main topic, the waiter hurriedly said, “Two nights ago, she found me in private and gave me two million yuan to drug the wine. She told me that it was only a strong laxative, and it wouldn’t act up immediately after drinking it. The time was enough for me to escape the palace. I didn’t expect that she would actually harm me, that it wasn’t a laxative at all.”
After Feng Qing finished wiping her hands, Xie Jiuhan got someone to bring over a basin of warm water. Feng Qing placed her hands in the basin and slowly washed them. She washed her hands with the high-end soap again and again. It was not that she was obsessed with cleanliness, but Xie Jiuhan was. Every time she washed off the hand soap, the man would squeeze some new hand soap into her hands.
Just as the waiter finished speaking, Feng Jianing was the first to jump out. She criticized Feng Qing with a look of realization on her face. “Oh, I know. You must have instructed it. If I didn’t guess wrong, you should know that Miss Tessa released me from prison, so you wanted to attack her,
right?”
Feng Jianing couldn’t help but snort coldly when she spoke up to this point. She looked at Feng Qing viciously and said, “But this time, you offended the Presidential Manor, no one can save you. You bribed the waiter to poison the wine and deliberately poison the President’s daughter. You only wanted Miss Tessa to have diarrhea, but you didn’t expect her to have epilepsy, that this strong laxative will cause a huge reaction in her body. So she was humiliated and had a relapse during the banquet!”
As expected, under Feng Jianing’s lead, everyone’s eyes fell on Feng Qing. Although no one said anything, everyone looked at her with judgmental eyes. It wasn’t that they weren’t smart, but Feng Jianing’s argument was reasonable. She didn’t dare to do anything to Tessa and could only give her laxatives to take revenge. This was very consistent with the hearts of those who hated Miss Tessa. And the only person at the scene who had a reason and a motive to do this to Miss Tessa was Feng Qing.
