This maid is not tall and looks pretty. She stood behind Murong Lingyi, like an ordinary maid, so ordinary that no one has ever noticed her.

Even Xue Changfeng was surprised when Murong Lingyi had an extra maid around him, and this maid was very good at martial arts.

Murong Lingyi turned around and glanced at the maid behind him, her face changed, then turned to look at Yan Mu, and sneered: "Your Highness, are you kidding, I, a maid, have always been peaceful, how could I poison my mother-in-law!"

Although Xue Changfeng hated Murong Lingyi, he also felt that her words made sense. Just because she knew Chen Xuan, from this point of view, she could not be considered the murderer.

"Is she so unbearable?" Xue Changfeng looked at Yan Mu indescribable words, and said with a twitching corner of his mouth: "Your Highness, if you can't make a clear judgment, then don't try it. If the case cannot be solved, just change to someone with ability to investigate."

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and no one believed that this maid would be the murderer.

Yan Mu ignored Xue Changfeng, stared at the maid and shouted, "I won't come up yet!"

The maid looked at Murong Lingyi cowardly. Seeing that his master nodded, she then stepped forward and knelt down in the lobby.

Yan Mu's eyes were sharp, "What's the name?"

"He...He'er."

“How old?”

"sixteen."

"Hometown?"

"Weizhou..."

"On the tenth day of last month, that is, the afternoon of the day when the Marquis of Wuchang was killed, where were you?"

The maid paused and said, "I will follow the princess into the palace to pay tribute to the queen."

"Stay in the palace until dinner."

"When exactly?"

The maid lowered her head and thought for a while, "The second or third moment of the hour of Wu."

Yan Mu looked at Murong Lingyi, "Princess Zhaohua, please think carefully about when you left the palace?"

Murong Lingyi frowned and opened her mouth to answer. The eldest princess grabbed her wrist and said, "Listen to your seventh brother, think about it carefully."

"How is He'er possible..."

Murong Lingyi didn't finish her words because she felt the eldest princess holding her wrist hard, which even made her feel pain.

"What did your seventh brother ask you, and what did you answer, so that you can restore your innocence." The eldest princess looked at Princess Zhaohua, her eyes deepened.

Murong Lingyi nodded, then pondered for a while, and said with a whisper: "It seems that it's time for Hai, and I was confused and heard the nanny beside the queen say."

"Damn it?"

"The queen kept me for dinner. I drank a few glasses of wine with her and felt a little dizzy and seemed to be drunk. So she lay in the hall for a while, so she stayed until so late."

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Xue Changfeng, "Young Master Xue, we were drinking before. You told me that the princess has a good alcohol tolerance and is comparable to you, right?"

Xue Changfeng nodded, "The princess has a good alcohol tolerance, we have drunk it."

"So just a few glasses of wine, how could the princess get drunk?"

Murong Lingyi was stunned, "It's not that I'm drunk, it's just dizzy..."

Speaking of this, Murong Lingyi also realized something was wrong. How could she feel dizzy?

Yan Mu looked at the maid again: "From the princess entering the palace to Li Palace, you have been by her side, never leaving her?"

"Sister..."

"You'd better tell the truth, because I can also find the palace servants from Feifeng Palace to verify what you said."

The maid pressed her head and said for a moment: "No, I feel bored in the house and have been walking around the garden outside for a while."

"The palace guards are very strict. You said you just walked around?"

“…”

Yan Mu snorted coldly and continued, "At about six o'clock in the hour of Wu, Doctor Zhou hurried away from the palace with his medicine box on his back. Chen Xuan deliberately rushed out and knocked his medicine box back, taking the opportunity to replace the ginseng pills with poison."

"What is the connection?" Xue Changfeng asked in confusion.

Liu Yunxiang lowered her eyes and understood Yan Mu's meaning in her heart. Murong Lingyi was seen at every point when Mrs. Wuchang was killed and Chen Xuan committed suicide, so they reasonably suspected her, but in fact, there was also the figure of this maid.

"Princess Zhaohua, why did you suddenly think of taking Aunt Zhou to Ziyun Temple to burn incense?" Yan Mu asked Murong Lingyi.

Murong Lingyi's face immediately changed, "I..."

"You want to harm her, but you actually have many ways. Why did you go to Ziyun Temple?"

This was too straightforward and Murong Lingyi couldn't stand it for a moment, but since she admitted it, she was not afraid to mention it. Instead, Xue Changfeng was unhappy. This was his family matter, or even a scandal, so he naturally didn't want to mention it in front of so many people.

"Your Highness, what do you want to ask if you are talking about it or not?"

Yan Mu smiled and said, "When we were drinking, you told me that your wife was jealous and could not tolerate your aunt, so I guessed that your aunt's disappearance might be related to Princess Zhaohua."

Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth, "So you drank with me and said, "What did you say to me to reminisce about the past? It turned out to be a trap for me."

Yan Mu coughed dryly, "Ask by the way."

"I have some sincerity to you."

"I'll ask you later."

"No need, I dare not drink your highness's wine."

Yan Mu smiled and continued, "So I checked Princess Zhaohua and found that she often went to Ziyun Temple. I guess she was going to find Aunt Zhou. Later, we learned that the palace maid who replaced Doctor Zhou's ginseng pills with poison, that is, Chen Xuan, was in Ziyun Temple. Is this really a coincidence?"

As he said that, Yan Mu looked at Murong Lingyi.

When Murong Lingyi heard that he was touching her again, she had to think about what happened at that time. When she thought of something, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "He'er... He'er said what's the use of tearing off the child in Aunt Zhou's belly. If you want a clean backyard, you should kill Aunt Zhou. She gave me the idea that I would take Aunt Zhou to Ziyun Temple and then kill her halfway."

"I first began to suspect that it was the princess, but all the signs indicate that this maid is more suspicious." Yan Mu said.

Xue Changfeng was still a little confused, "But why didn't she replace Physician Zhou's ginseng pills herself, but she bribed Chen Xuan. It's very risky to do this."

Yan Mu missed Mrs. Chen and asked in a deep voice: "It's only been two years since Chen Xuan entered the palace, but she built a new house for her family and helped her brother pay off her gambling debts. I'm right?"

Mrs. Chen shivered, "Yes."

"And her monthly rate is only two taels. If you repeatedly force her to get the money, you have never thought about where her money comes from?"

Mrs. Chen lowered her head, "I won't ask."

"You must know!"

"I……"

"I won't tell the truth in the court!"

Mrs. Chen was so scared that she burped, "She...she stole things from the palace and sold them."

Yan Mu nodded and looked at He'er again, "I guessed that you happened to run into Chen Xuan walking out with the things from the palace that night, so he threatened and tempted her to help you do this. You did plan to do this by yourself, but if someone does it for you, the danger you exposed will be much smaller."
