Mu Yunhan thought for a moment and said softly: "They want to harm Ah Lin. If the result is not good later, can Your Highness make a confession for me in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother?"
"Okay! I promise you!" Princess Huaichang pulled Mu Yunhan aside: "Be careful of my fourth brother."
Mu Yunhan's expression changed slightly: "What did Your Highness know?"
Princess Huaichang said: "I..."
"Huaichang, what are you whispering there?"
King Xinling suddenly laughed, his laughter was cold and cold, like a poisonous snake crawling up his back, which was creepy.
"I didn't say anything." Princess Huaichang quickly let go of Mu Yunhan's hand.
"Found out!" Elder Zhi came quickly with a serious look on his face.
Old Mrs. Gu said coldly: "What's going on?"
Elder Zhi sighed and said softly: "Indeed, it has something to do with the second master and the second lady."
Mrs. Gu's expression changed slightly: "Where is the evidence?"
A steward was turned over and kowtowed in fear: "Old Master, it's none of your business. The Second Master said it was arranged by the clan, and both young masters added..."
But it was the steward who added a medicine called Dijin to the medicinal soup. This Dijin itself is non-toxic, but after roasting it becomes slightly toxic, which happens to conflict with some of the medicine in the medicinal soup.
But if you take a little wine, you can get rid of the poison.
Coincidentally, I found some residual ground brocade powder in the second master's room, which was roasted.
The person who served Gu Fengyuan also testified that before Gu Fengyuan took a bath, Mr. Gu made him drink a glass of wine.
Mr. Gu sneered and said: "It seems that Ah Lin was indeed harmed, but I don't know if A Yuan had a share of the credit?"
Elder Zhi said: "During the interrogation just now, the waiter said that A Yuan was not willing to drink that wine. It was his father who forced him to drink it in the name of the medical elder."
Old Mrs. Gu asked: "What did the second brother say?"
Elder Zhi said: "He doesn't admit it."
"He will definitely not admit it. Who would admit after doing something bad?" Mr. Gu couldn't help but said when he saw Mr. Gu was silent.
"Old Master, we still need to be cautious about this matter. Why don't you let me go investigate again?"
A middle-aged man with three long beards, fair and rosy complexion, delicate features, and elegant demeanor stood up and said.
Mr. Gu looked at him carefully and said, "No need to look, I have my own conclusion on this matter. You can tell me how to deal with it according to the clan rules."
The man said: "Anyone who harms a candidate for priest should be punished for his crime."
Mr. Gu nodded and said calmly: "That's fine."
In his tone, it seemed that he had already made a conclusion and wanted to take the lives of Mr. Gu and his wife.
Everyone was as silent as a cicada, all bowed their heads and remained silent.
Only the man said: "To be cautious, we should check again. After all, he is your son."
Mr. Gu raised his hand to stop him: "I have my own conclusion."
Mu Yunhan was very unfamiliar with that person, so he asked Mrs. Gu in a low voice: "Who is this?"
Gu Sanfu said: "Elder Xing, he is in charge of the clan's punishments and some of the clan's property. The last time you came here, he just went out, so you never saw him."
Mu Yunhan remembered that Gu Fenglin once said that each of the five elders has someone who supports him.
Elder Wu supported Gu Yilan, Elder De, Medical Elder, and Elder Zhi supported Gu Fenglin, so the one who supported Gu Fengyuan was Elder Xing.
She looked at Elder Zhi. Mr. Gu Er and his wife had almost been convicted. What would they do next? (To be continued)
