Shen Yunqing hesitated for a long time before speaking, and then he said sarcastically: "When we first entered the capital, our master, brother, and sisters were stayed in the palace by our ancestors. Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie were ordered to enter the palace to continue the work for everyone. To teach, I was also brought into the palace by Grandpa Chang."
Chu Nanzhi nodded: "But your life in the palace was not very smooth at that time, and I never heard you mention the matter of the little Princess Ruiyin."
"It's all students' fault."
Shen Yunqing knelt down in shame and continued: "One day during class break, sister Ruixi saw a different scene in the Royal Garden, and went there alone. I was worried that she would get lost, so I followed her all the way. In the past, I also met Princess Ruiyin on the way. She forced me to go to Yong'an Palace to be her companion. Sister Ruixi refused, and the two started arguing.
Sister Ruixi accidentally pushed her to the ground. Princess Ruiyin wanted to embarrass us two, but let Eunuch Hai who rushed to rescue us in time. The palace people were afraid of Eunuch Hai and their ancestors and did not dare to tell the matter. When I reached out, sister Ruixi was also afraid of being scolded by my mistress, so she told me not to tell my mistress about this matter."
Thinking about the Tang family and Lin Jinqian's overbearing temperament, Chu Nanzhi guessed that the little princess Ruiyin must have wanted to go to Yong'an Palace to be a playmate because she saw Shen Yunqing's good looks.
Hai Lian probably felt that Er Bao and Shen Yunqing were not at a disadvantage, so she didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so it was quite reasonable for her not to tell her.
Why would a child's play involve poisoning?
Chu Nanzhi looked at Shen Yunqing with some confusion: "Then little Princess Ruiyin lives in the palace, how could she harm your sister Ruixi?"
"Students don't dare to judge."
Shen Yunqing said suspiciously: "It's just that when little Princess Ruiyin left that day, she made harsh words and said that she would make sister Ruixi pay the price."
"This is strange."
Chu Nanzhi took a long breath.
According to Tang Yulan's temperament, her daughter really was bullied, how could she choose to swallow her anger?
Could it be that the Queen Mother knew she was in the wrong and didn't dare to make a fuss in front of her ancestors?
But it would be unwise to secretly poison Er Bao for such a trivial matter.
This is not in line with Tian Yuchan's scheming character.
So who exactly wants to harm Er Bao?
Chu Nanzhi warned the little treasures with doubts: "You just stay in the Nuan Pavilion to study and practice calligraphy. You are not allowed to go anywhere. Mother will go to the outer courtyard."
After that, he left Sang Qi to take care of the little ones in the Nuan Pavilion and walked out alone.
In the living room, Lin Jinshu was threatening the servants in the house with a sword: "If you don't take the initiative to confess, I will kill you all with a stick."
Chu Nanzhi stepped forward and glanced sharply at the dozen or so slaves kneeling in the hall. Looking at the frightened expressions of each of them, he was afraid that he would not be able to find out the murderer for a while.
But she was certain that it must have been done by one of them.
After thinking about it secretly in her mind, she suddenly became enlightened, and then she had an idea, and said to everyone solemnly:
"Although you are people who were rewarded by our ancestors, when you come to my house, you must serve your masters with all your heart. Although I don't want to see you being killed with a stick, I will never let the little princess be killed innocently. Hurt, if you want to survive, then just return to this palace honestly."
The maids immediately raised their heads and responded tremblingly: "Slaves will not dare to hide the princess."
"Okay, very good. Since some people dare to do it but don't take it seriously, I will find out the mastermind behind this today and see where you can hide it?"
Chu Nanzhi's eyes were full of ferocity, making everyone's skin crawl with goosebumps.
"Abi, Achun, when did you discover that the second princess wet the bed?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at the two maids serving the second treasure and the fourth treasure.
Abi and Achun replied in unison: "It was at the beginning of the morning today. The servants went to wait for the princesses to get up. They found that the second princess was hot and wet under her body. The fourth princess woke up and said it was the second princess.
The princess wet the bed, Mrs. Liu led the eldest highness and the third highness to come, and the second princess began to cry non-stop."
"At the beginning of the morning?"
Chu Nanzhi confirmed again: "The time may be determined?"
"Returning to the princess, the slaves did not dare to be lazy when they first entered the palace. They just wanted to serve the two princesses. The slaves got up at this hour and arrived at the two princesses' rooms for the first time."
Abi's meticulous answer allowed Chu Nanzhi to completely confirm the time.
"very good."
Chu Nanzhi smiled at her with a pleased expression, then looked at the kitchen attendant and asked, "Aunt Wang, when did you arrive in the kitchen to boil hot water?"
"I got up at midnight and boiled the hot water the next moment."
Aunt Wang replied with firm eyes.
"The next moment?"
Chu Nanzhi calculated the time in his mind. According to the time in his own world, it was about six o'clock in the morning, and Jinling City was located at the northern end, and it was just dawn at this time.
It won't get bright until at least half past six.
After careful inspection, she found that the bedding was not urine, but someone had wet the bedding with water mixed with blood-staining throat-sealing venom.
Although children love to sleep, if they want to get their bedding wet without anyone noticing, of course you cannot use cold water, but warm water.
In such a cold weather, the warm water left the pot and stove, even if it was kept warm under the quilt, it would only last half an hour.
She looked at the cook again and continued to ask: "Who entered the kitchen first to get water today?"
Aunt Wang looked through the crowd, her eyes slowly fell on a thin woman in the middle, and said firmly: "Returning to the princess, I just finished heating the hot water, and Miss Xiangyue came in
Get water from the kitchen house.”
Chu Nanzhi asked again: "About what time did the second person enter the kitchen to get water?"
"About three quarters after Mao hour."
As soon as the cook finished speaking, before anyone could react, Chu Nanzhi waved towards Tang Weiming: "Take Xiang Yue down."
"Princess, why is this happening? This slave is loyal and has not committed any wrongdoing. Why does the princess treat this slave like this?"
Xiang Yue suddenly raised her head and asked with a cry.
"Are you loyal?"
Chu Nanzhi sneered and shook his head: "If I remember correctly, you were assigned to do chores in the backyard and did not have to serve the princesses. Although I don't control you, I also know that you are working hard in the house.
The hours are all after Chen hour. What is your intention when you go into the kitchen to get water before dawn?"
At this time, Wu Sanniang, the handyman who was in charge of the kitchen together with Aunt Wang, also shook her head in confusion and said:
"This servant also told Aunt Wang this morning that Xiangyue was usually lazy in the palace, but she was extra attentive when she came to the princess's house. In the past two days, she went to the kitchen to fetch water before dawn. If she didn't do the backyard sweeping work,
I can work until dawn without worrying about disturbing the little masters."
"This slave is just here for the first time and can't sleep well."
Xiang Yue defended with tears in her eyes: "Princess, I am loyal to you and have never harmed the little princess."
