Xin Ruyi said: "Someone poisoned the third princess, and two women were found. The woman said that when they went out to buy today, they were hit by someone, and someone dropped the medicine bag and took the poisonous Codonopsis pilosula. I made ginseng soup for the third princess.
Yi'er suspected that this matter was related to Yan Yan, so I took the two women to identify the person. Who would have thought that Zicuckoo actually drowned to death, and it was confirmed that she was the one who slipped the package of Codonopsis pilosula."
Shen Chi had a solemn face and said in a cold voice: "Zicuckoo was killed by Yan Yan. The people I sent to keep an eye on her saw with their own eyes that she pushed Zicuckoo into the lake."
"What?"
Xin Ruyi was startled. Although she had doubts in her heart, she still found it unbelievable when she heard Shen Chi talk about it with her own ears.
Mu Xuechu said: "I don't believe it either, but sister-in-law, you also know that Shen Chi cannot lie. He suspected that the fire in Dali Temple was related to Yan Yan, so he sent a secret guard to follow her secretly.
The secret guard came back to report, saying that Yan Yan went to the drug store and bought a pack of medicinal materials. The medicine was held by Zicuckoo, and she bumped into two women on the way.
When she came back, Yan Yan went through the back door. She asked Zijuan to knock on the door first, and then lured away the servant who was guarding the door. She secretly returned to the house, and then pushed Zijuan into the house when she wasn't paying attention. Lake.
The secret guard said that Yan Yan left after watching Zicuckoo sink into the lake. I really can't imagine how she became like this. Killing someone is like stepping on an ant."
After listening to the secret guard's report, she felt a chill running down her spine. Was this the same Yan Yan she knew?
Shen Chi added: "I asked someone to check, and the medicine Yan Yan bought was Codonopsis pilosula and arsenic."
Xin Ruyi's eyes widened, and she could basically conclude that the person who poisoned her was Yan Yan.
She secretly shook hands and said: "She did this because she wanted to kill Alanyi. I just told her that Alanyi is dead."
As she said that, she glanced at Shen Chi and Mu Xuechu and said, "Yan Yan has become too strange now. Even if he loses his memory, it is impossible for him to change his temper. There must be something fishy in it.
Let’s not alarm the enemy for the time being, let’s just pretend that we don’t know anything about it, and when A Lanyi wakes up, we will know why Yan Yan insisted on killing him.”
Shen Chi and Mu Xuechu had no objection. After all, that person was their niece and Mu Rufeng's daughter. Even if she was really at fault, she should wait for Mu Rufeng to come back and deal with it.
The current plan is to uncover the secrets of Yan Yan.
...
Regent's Palace.
After Qingying came back, he repeated Xin Ruyi's words to Xiao Chengyi word for word.
After hearing this, Xiao Chengyi understood what his mother meant and ordered: "From now on, no outsiders are allowed to come near this Tingfeng Courtyard, and the daily meals need to be carefully inspected to ensure everything is safe."
Qingying responded: "Yes."
I heard Xiao Chengyi ask: "Do you know what happened before I was poisoned by the Heartless Gu?"
Qingying was stunned for a moment. Their prince had never asked him what happened before he was poisoned. If he asked now, he would be suspicious.
So he told everything he knew: "Your Majesty just came back from southern Xinjiang, and after meeting Princess Protector, you vomited blood.
You were extremely weak at that time, but you insisted on seeing King Jing and asked Princess Protector how the accident happened. By the way, you also specifically asked about the night before Princess Protector's accident.
King Jing said that something strange happened at the inn in Mozhou City that night. All the people responsible for patrolling that day fell asleep. When they woke up, they found that the Princess Protector had come back from outside.
After King Jing investigated for a long time without any results, he set off for the capital. However, Princess Protector asked to ride on horseback, so Princess Protector fell off her horse and injured her head just after leaving the city.
After listening to King Jing's words, Your Majesty, you took Princess Protector out of the house. When we found you, Princess Protector was already seriously injured and you were unconscious."
