Xin Ruyi looked at her with a surprised look on her face, as if she didn't know anything about it. She frowned and asked, "Yan Yan, where have you been today?"
Shen Wanyue lowered her head and replied: "I took Zicuckoo to visit Brother Yi today, but the Regent's Palace was closed to accept visitors. I was worried about Brother Yi's condition, so I went out of the city to offer incense for him.
Zijuan said that her stomach was not feeling well, so I asked her to go back first. She was fine when we left, but why is she like this now?"
As she spoke, she wiped the tears from her face with a sad look on her face.
Xin Ruyi looked at her appearance and couldn't tell anything. She said to the people around her: "Let's all disperse."
After all the servants around her had dispersed, Shen Wanyue asked curiously: "Mom, why are the Green Guards here? And who are these two women?"
Xin Ruyi sighed: "The third princess was killed in the Regent's Palace, and it was found to be related to these two women. Yi'er asked Qingying to hand her over to Shen Chi for trial."
With that said, she ordered the guards accompanying her: "Take these two people down."
When the two women saw that Zicuckoo was dead and they themselves became the murderers, they shouted in unison: "Madam, we are unjust, madam!"
However, the guards did not allow them to say anything more and escorted them away.
Shen Wanyue didn't care about these two mothers-in-law. She only cared about the safety of the third princess, so she asked again: "How about the third princess?"
Xin Ruyi frowned, then lowered her voice and said: "The third princess was not very good to begin with, but now she was poisoned and couldn't survive, and she is gone.
But Yi'er said that this matter should be kept secret and cannot be spread out for the time being. As long as you know it, don't talk nonsense, understand?"
Shen Wanyue felt happy when she heard this.
It was great that the third princess was finally dead. It seemed that her plan was successful. She lowered her eyes and collected her thoughts, pretending to be regretful and said: "How could this happen? Sister Jiang..."
She choked in a low voice, looking very sympathetic and sad.
Xin Ruyi patted her hand: "That child is also pitiful. He finally managed to save his life, but he was killed again. The capital has been uneasy recently, so don't run away. Do you understand?"
Shen Wanyue nodded and agreed to her obediently.
Xin Ruyi glanced at her and said, "Go back and have a rest."
Shen Wanyue did not stay any longer, and turned around and left with her maid. As soon as she left, Qingying asked with some confusion: "Madam, why did you lie to the princess?"
The third princess is obviously still alive, but Xin Ruyi says she is dead.
Xin Ruyi said coldly: "Go back and tell Yi'er that from now on, the third princess is a dead person, and he will understand my intention."
Since the murderer wanted to kill Alanyi so deliberately, it would be better to release false news to confuse the murderer and make her relax her vigilance. This would also save the murderer from repeatedly assassinating Alanyi while she was recovering from illness.
Just as he was thinking about it, a servant came over and said, "Madam, Master Shen, please come over."
Xin Ruyi came back to her senses and said to Qingying: "You should go back first." With these words, she headed towards Mu Xuechu and Shen Chi's yard.
When I arrived at the flower hall, I saw that the atmosphere here was a bit solemn.
When Mu Xue saw Xin Ruyi coming for the first time, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Sister-in-law, you are back."
Xin Ruyi looked at their expressions and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Xuechu didn't know what to say, so she said, "Let Shen Chi tell you." After saying that, he took her hand and sat down on the chair.
Shen Chi looked at Xin Ruyi and asked, "What happened to the Regent's Palace?"
