She subconsciously looked at her daughter first. Her eldest son was a simple-minded person. He was not the same type as Li Jiamin, and he had no grudge against Su Yao. He would never poison Su Yao's horse. In fact, the one who had a grudge against Su Yao was Li Jinniang.
But Li Jinniang was also shocked. When she saw Madam Li looking at her with eyes full of confusion and anger, she hurriedly shook her head.
Madam Li also reacted quickly. Yes, her daughter was in high spirits these days, and this high spirit was all thanks to Su Yao. She had just contradicted Princess Mingchang, so why would she do such a stupid thing again
But, since he is neither a son nor a daughter, who else would do such a thing
Mrs. Li was in a state of panic and was about to ask more questions, but Li Jinniang had already grabbed her hand and shook her head, lowering her voice and asking, "Could it be Grandmother?"
It's no wonder that Li Jinniang thought this way. After all, Princess Mingchang had always shown that she hated Su Yao.
Madam Li was shocked and confused, and thought it was a bit absurd for a moment. After all, Princess Mingchang was almost seventy years old. How could she use such inferior means to deal with a little girl
But sometimes people's thoughts are hard to guess. For example, Princess Mingchang actually suppressed the fact that Li Jiamin had fled abroad secretly, and forced Master Li to look for her...
She was in a state of confusion.
On the other side, Captain Lu had already finished the search with his men. All the servants brought from Princess Mingchang's mansion were gathered together. He took the roster and checked it one by one. There was indeed a person named Li Yun registered in the roster, but in fact, when he really checked, Li Yun was missing.
Now that things were clear, he closed the roster and went back to report.
Princess Mingchang knew that Li Yun had escaped, but she still acted shocked: "He's not in our tent?!"
Captain Lu respectfully presented the roster and replied to Emperor Yuanfeng: "Your Majesty, this person was not found in the Li family's tent. Other people in the princess's mansion also said that they had not seen him all day. I have already checked at the camp gate. Yesterday afternoon, someone from Princess Mingchang's mansion took the token and went out, and did not come back."
Princess Mingchang immediately stood up and argued: "Your Majesty, I don't know about this! I have never had anything to do with poisoning the Ferghana horses!"
Emperor Yuanfeng raised his hand and looked at her without comment, and said calmly: "It's okay, don't worry, the truth will soon come out."
Princess Mingchang was confused and felt extremely uneasy. She looked at Emperor Yuanfeng hesitantly, not understanding what he meant.
Emperor Yuanfeng had no intention of explaining, but just asked her to go back first.
However, Princess Mingchang had only walked halfway when she met the Jinyiwei who were returning from their mission.
Princess Mingchang recognized at a glance that the leader of the team was Chen Dong, Xiao Heng's former confidant and current commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Her heart skipped a beat, and when she saw one of the prisoners held by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, she was so frightened that she obviously lost her balance and fell down.
Fortunately, Aunt Zheng was leaning on her from behind, so she didn't fall to the ground.
“Your Highness… ..” Aunt Zheng hadn’t seen those people yet and was puzzled.
Princess Mingchang had already grabbed her hand, and lowered her voice in shock and anger: "Don't make a sound! Go! Go quickly!"
They were behind the pillars at this time. Because Concubine Pang summoned them urgently, she only brought Aunt Zheng with her, and the noise was small so as not to alarm the Jinyiwei over there.
Seeing her being so serious, Aunt Zheng was already panicking. She waited until the Jinyiwei walked away and walked up the passage before she dared to ask in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Princess Mingchang did not say a word. She stared coldly in the direction where the Jinyiwei went. Suddenly, she turned around and left with an angry look.
Aunt Zheng could hardly keep up, so she stumbled forward, but did not dare to ask any more questions. She accompanied Princess Mingchang back to the tent as if she was fleeing, and saw Madam Li waiting anxiously in the tent.
After seeing Princess Mingchang coming back, Madam Li finally found her backbone and asked repeatedly about the reason why the Yulin Guards came.
Princess Mingchang had no intention of paying attention to her, let alone helping her solve her puzzles. She didn't even look at her, and shouted in a low voice: "Get out!"
Madam Li was stunned.
Although Princess Mingchang was arrogant, she had never scolded her so mercilessly in front of so many people during all these years of relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, especially since she was a mother with two children.
Princess Mingchang didn't care at all. She frowned and looked at Madam Li who didn't move. She raised her voice in anger and said, "I told you to get out. Can't you hear me?!"
Mrs. Li could no longer bear it and turned around and ran out.
Li Jinniang naturally followed her mother closely, standing in front of her helplessly, pulling her sleeves: "Mother, is it time to finish your apprenticeship? I see that grandma's face is very unhappy..."
Madam Li also reacted belatedly. Yes, first the Imperial Guards came to search the tent, and then Princess Mingchang came back so distraught. What had happened
Not long after Su Yao and the Eleventh Princess settled Zhuiyun down, someone from Concubine Pang's palace came to invite them over.
The Eleventh Princess turned around and asked what was going on.
The eunuch in Concubine Pang's palace smiled and said, "Your Highness, County Lady, the Jinyiwei who went out to do their work have returned, and they brought back a few people."
In other words, the person who poisoned Zhuiyun has been caught!
The Eleventh Princess took one look at Su Yao and immediately became interested. She pulled Su Yao and hurried to Concubine Pang's Qingchi Palace.
The atmosphere in Qingchi Palace was heavy. Emperor Yuanfeng had already left. When the Eleventh Princess arrived, Concubine Pang was talking to Madam Pang. When she saw them coming, she waved and called the Eleventh Princess to her side.
The Eleventh Princess was most concerned about where the captured person was, and hurriedly asked Concubine Pang who she was: "Is it really related to my aunt's house?"
Concubine Pang glanced at Su Yao, sighed slightly and shook her head: "Yes, not only that, but it is also related to a big deal. Among the people captured by Chen Dong this time, in addition to Li Yun, there is another person who should not be here."
Seeing Concubine Pang say this, Princess Eleven became even more curious and asked with wide eyes, "Who is it?"
Su Yao saw Concubine Pang looking at him, and thought about what she had said before, that it was indeed related to Princess Mingchang's mansion, and it was related to a big boss. He thought about it and came up with a guess.
Sure enough, Concubine Pang paused for a moment, then said an unexpected name: "Li Jiamin."
Li Jiamin!
It turned out to be Li Jiamin!
Princess Eleven found this unbelievable: "Wasn't he sent back to his hometown to study?!"
