Mr. Tang shook his head, "I don't know. We can't find out at this time. The third prince is now in Luozhou, so it's difficult to find out."
Man Bao curiously asked Mr. Tang, "Do you think the third prince did it?"
Master Tang gave her a strange look, "I told you that I can't find out now."
Man Bao: "I don't care about evidence, just rely on my senior's inference."
Mr. Tang fell silent. After a long time, when another group of guards walked past them, he said: "Exchanging drinks, at first glance, it does seem like the third prince did it. I didn't doubt it at first.
But His Majesty said no, and seemed to be quite sure of it. With His Majesty’s intelligence and character, he must have mastered something to have the confidence to say this.”
He said: "The way His Majesty handled it before was very similar to what the third prince did. He drove the third prince back to the fiefdom, grounded him, suppressed the impeachment of the prince in court, privately reprimanded the prince for his willfulness, and made people go to him in a rage.
I investigated this matter, but privately asked Gu Zhong to suppress it and make it unsolved..."
"But now he has reopened the old case and asked Master Yin to investigate. Obviously, he still has some doubts about the third prince in his heart, but he believes more that the third prince did not do this." Mr. Tang said: "So this matter is really possible.
It wasn’t the third prince who did it.”
It's just that someone tried to plant it on the third prince's head, killing two birds with one stone.
Man Bao was the first to think: "Other princes?"
Master Tang sighed, "I have this suspicion, but there is no evidence and there is no way to investigate."
The fight for the throne has already dragged down the two legitimate princes, and if the other princes are brought in, it will probably be another bloody storm.
Therefore, he was unwilling to speak out without conclusive evidence.
He glanced at Man Bao and said, "I've told you everything. Just be tighter. Now it's your turn to tell your secret."
Man Bao became entangled. She looked back and forth before whispering: "I promised the Crown Princess not to tell outsiders about this matter."
Mr. Tang looked serious, "I also promised Mr. Yin that I would never leak the details of the case, but do you know why I told you in the end?"
Man Bao shook his head.
Mr. Tang said in a serious tone: "Because Bai Shan and I are senior brothers. We also studied in Guozi School and we are brothers. And you are not only Bai Shan's senior sister, but also his unmarried wife. That is a family. Since we are a family,
He can’t be considered an outsider.”
Man Bao believes that he is the only one who has ghosts.
He had beaten King Yizhou to death without telling Mrs. Tang.
She hummed in her heart, but she still considered it and lowered her voice: "The prince was poisoned when I first entered the palace."
Mr. Tang's face instantly darkened and he asked, "What kind of poison?"
Man Bao shook his head and said: "I don't know what to say. Anyway, I have never seen it. If other doctors had seen it, they would not have found such poison."
Mr. Tang asked seriously, "Can't Xiao Yuanzheng also do it?"
Man Bao shook his head, "There may be suspicions, but it will definitely not be confirmed."
Mr. Tang frowned and looked at her, "Then how did you get the diagnosis?"
Man Bao said: "I can't make a diagnosis even with my ability, because it doesn't appear to be poisonous from the pulse. It just happened that day, the prince lost his temper in front of me, and there were clues. I read a medical book that said
Only after experiencing similar symptoms did I realize something was wrong.”
"That medical book..."
Man Bao looked serious, "Only I have..."
"Is there an antidote?" Master Tang asked, "How is the prince's health now? Why didn't you report it to His Majesty?"
Man Bao said: "The poison has been cured, but the poison cannot be seen by diagnosing the pulse, so I didn't say anything."
If others said this, Tang He would be suspicious, but Zhou Man said these words, so Tang He believed them.
He frowned, thought for a while, then stopped, looked into Man Bao's eyes and asked seriously, "Is the poison important?"
Man Bao answered equally seriously: "If you don't notice, the prince's temper will become more and more violent as time goes by, and then he will become weak, lose a lot of hair, suffer from insomnia, nosebleeds, and then slowly weaken and die."
Master Tang was surprised, "Is it chronic poison?"
Man Bao nodded, "It's not something that enters the body, but something that comes into contact with."
She looked at Mr. Tang and sighed: "Senior Brother Tang, although I believe it more than Donggong, I can't tell you what that thing is, otherwise they will guess that I told you at the first time."
She told Tang He that Tang He would definitely not be able to help but investigate. The target was so clear and the prince was not stupid. He would definitely guess that she had betrayed him.
Tang He didn't force her anymore, he just restored his smile and asked with a smile: "Then why did you tell me?"
"Don't I owe you a favor?" Man Bao said: "And I also want Senior Brother Tang to know that if I accidentally get involved in the future, you can at least rescue me."
Mr. Tang was speechless for a while, "You do trust me."
He didn't reject her after all.
Tang He didn't say nonsense like "Then why don't you stay away from right and wrong?" From the moment she cured Shi Dalang, she began to get into the situation. It was not a situation that she could do whatever she said.
Even he, a member of the Criminal Department, could be temporarily transferred to Jing Zhaoyin to assist Yin Li, so he had to join the game, let alone a young man like Man Bao who was so young and vulnerable?
Tang He slowly walked with her to the entrance of the palace and said goodbye first.
Man Bao did not hide her good relationship with him, and returned the gift with a very magnanimous attitude, and then went to find the palace and the carriage that would take her back to Changqing Lane.
But the fact that she and Tang He walked in the corridor for more than two quarters of an hour was still known to everyone in the house.
When he went to the East Palace again, the prince couldn't help but turned slightly and stared at her and asked, "What did you say to Tang Zhihe yesterday?"
"Senior Brother Tang?" Man Bao gave him the needle without raising his head and said, "You talked a lot, but you also talked about His Highness being drunk. Mr. Tang also asked me about His Highness's physical condition."
Yesterday, when they were about to reach the gate of the palace, Tang He and Man Bao said: "If you want people to believe what you say, then there must be seven points of truth and two points of falsehood in your words, and then you can hide the most important part without talking about it.
That’s it.”
When the prince heard what she said, he lay on the pillow, closed his eyes slightly and continued to ask, "Have you told him?"
Man Bao said with some distress: "I just told him that His Highness's health has improved, and I didn't say anything else."
The prince gave a soft "hmm" and asked, "Do you think my health has indeed improved in the past two days?"
Man Bao nodded, "It's getting better."
"I heard that you and your junior brother are engaged?"
Man Bao:...How come everyone knows?
Seeing her speechless face, the Crown Princess came out with a box from the inner room and smiled: "We only found out yesterday that the Crown Prince asked me to prepare a gift for you."
Seeing that Man Bao had finished dropping the needles, she opened the box and showed it to Man Bao, and said with a smile: "These are a pair of hostas. You are too young to use them now. When you grow up, you can each have one."
