Not long after, the doctor was invited into Prince Heng's Mansion again.
In Yinqi's study, Butler Yan made a greeting gesture to the doctor after a normal call. The doctor entered the study politely. When he saw Yinqi sitting in the main seat, he hurriedly bowed and saluted Yinqi.
Yinqi waved his hand, was silent for a moment, and then asked the imperial physician: "Does the imperial physician still remember what kind of poison Gegeke in this palace was poisoned by?"
After hearing this, the doctor was a little distressed. He couldn't tell what kind of poison he was poisoned with, but the pulse looked like symptoms of poisoning. After pondering for a moment, the doctor decided to tell the truth: "As for the prince, I am not very knowledgeable and can only find out through the pulse."
It’s a sign of poisoning, but I don’t know what kind of poison it was.”
Seeing that he didn't look like he was telling lies, Yinqi took out the oleander he found from the corner of the backyard of the east wing and handed it to the doctor. The doctor took it and carefully identified it, then brought it up to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
The doctor looked at the dry leaves and was silent for a long time, frowned, and then replied after a long while: "These seem to be oleander leaves, which are toxic. If pregnant women come into contact with them, they will most likely cause vomiting and abdominal pain.
Diarrhea and other adverse symptoms may endanger the lives of pregnant women and fetuses in severe cases. Could it be that the princess in the prince's palace was poisoned by oleander?"
Both Yinqi and Butler Yan were shocked after hearing this. Yinqi was silent for a while, and then Yinqi asked Butler Yan to send the doctor out, and gave the doctor some reward money.
After sending the doctor away, Yinqi sighed and stared at those oleander leaves. He was really sinister.
Yinqi sighed helplessly. He was silent for a while and decided to interrogate Zhang Jiazhuyue and Xiaohui again.
As soon as the door of the room where Zhang Jiazhuyue and Xiaohui were imprisoned was opened, Zhang Jiazhuyue vaguely noticed that something was wrong with the expression on Yinqi's face, and she lowered her head slightly.
"How long do you plan to hide it?"
As soon as Yinqi sat down in the room, he asked directly.
Xiaohui immediately raised her head, her eyes flashed and her lips trembled, "Your Majesty, I did not frame Tong Gege!"
After Xiaohui finished speaking, she knelt on the ground with a plop, and then continued what she had just said: "I don't dare to deceive the prince!"
"Really? You dare not deceive me? Then why did you hide the oleander leaves in the corner of the backyard of the east wing?"
Yinqi asked back and glanced at Zhang Jiazhuyue and Xiaohui.
Xiaohui was so frightened that she trembled all over. Her hands clenched into fists and her nails dug into her flesh. She glanced at Zhang Jiazhuyue angrily.
"It's her, she must have framed me. I didn't hide this thing. How could she see where I was hiding things when she was working as an errand in Dongnuang Pavilion? She was clearly framed." Xiaohui pointed at Zhang Jiazhuyue's finger angrily.
They were all trembling a little.
Zhang Jiazhuyue was very calm. She looked at Xiaohui calmly and said in a calm tone: "I don't know what you are talking about, sister Xiaohui. If you have evidence, please present it. Besides, I will tell you
Tong Gege has no grievances, so why should I harm her? But you are probably scolded by Tong Gege a lot on weekdays, so you must be resentful of her. That’s why you want to frame her, right?"
After Zhang Jiazhuyue finished speaking, he looked at Yinqi, "Your Majesty, I know that Tong Gege has a tricky personality. In the past, when Tong Gege lived in Dongnuang Pavilion, I often heard Tong Gege scolding me, so I guessed that Sister Xiaohui would do this from time to time.
I deliberately murdered Tong Gege because I wanted to vent my anger."
"You bitch, you are talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart!" Xiaohui was so angry at Zhang Jiazhuyue's words that she couldn't control her hands. Before she could finish her words, she grabbed Zhang Jiazhuyue's neck with both hands.
Yinqi immediately shouted: "Hurry and pull them apart!"
The guard standing at the door rushed into the house and separated the two people who were struggling with each other.
When Wanyue thought about Zhang Jiazhuyue's behavior in the east wing in Xinuang Pavilion, she felt a little worried. Seeing her frowning, Grandma Li couldn't help but remind her carefully: "Miss, I looked at the two people in the east wing today.
Girls are not easy-going."
Wanyue agreed, but she didn't dare to tell her that she had met Zhang Jiazhuyue in her previous life. After a slight hesitation, she looked at Nanny Li and whispered instructions to her.
"Mommy, I always feel that Zhang Jiazhuyue is not as simple as she appears. You go find some spies outside and check her out for me. Everyone in her family must check her carefully. No one is missing."
Grandma Li rarely saw the serious look on Wanyue's face, and knew that she was very worried about Zhang Jiazhuyue, so she responded: "Okay, I will ask someone to investigate carefully."
When Grandma Li was about to leave the front yard, she met Housekeeper Yan at the door of the house. Grandma Li saw Housekeeper Yan running out of breath and couldn't help but ask: "Where is Housekeeper Yan going?"
Housekeeper Yan smiled coquettishly and looked at Nanny Li. Seeing that she seemed to be about to leave the house, she naturally replied: "Nanny Li is really discerning, you can see that. Li
Aunty, do you want to go out of the house to do some business?"
Grandma Li nodded and replied calmly: "Exactly."
"What a coincidence."
The two of them left Prince Heng's Mansion together and went to different places with their respective masters' instructions.
Less than an hour after Yinqi returned to the study, the guard guarding Zhang Jiazhuyue and Xiao Hui reported to Yinqi with a worried look on his face: "The prince is not good, and the maid named Xiao Hui committed suicide in the house!"
These words made Yinqi so angry that he wanted to get angry on the spot, but he did not get angry in front of the guards. He just clenched his fists and glanced at the guards who came to report.
After a long while, Yinqi frowned and asked, "When did it happen?"
He had only returned to the study for less than an hour when something like this happened. He then ordered Butler Yan to check the family backgrounds of two maids, Xiaohui and Zhang Jiazhuyue. As a result, Xiaohui committed suicide.
The guard gritted his teeth, worried that he could not look after him well, and some did not dare to look into Yinqi's eyes. The guard was a little flustered and returned his hands again: "Return to the prince, as soon as the servants and the brothers who were guarding heard the shouts of two and two in the house, they opened the door.
We broke into the room and saw Miss Zhu Yue’s neck being pinched by Miss Xiao Hui. Before we could recover, Miss Xiao Hui fell to the side with blood pouring from her mouth.”
The guard was frightened for a moment when he thought of the scene he saw when he entered. This woman was so cruel that she was sometimes even more cruel than a man.
When Yinqi heard what the guard reported, he was so angry that he raised his hand to support his forehead. His mind sank for a while, and then he replied to the guard: "Go to the accountant to pay some money and bury her properly. Then find her again."
I will personally inform her family."
The guard was a little confused: "Does she need to truthfully tell her family about her plot to murder her master and commit suicide?"
The guard was at a loss for words. Faced with the guard's confused gaze, Yinqi could only shake his head: "Tell me the truth!"
