Qianzhuo presented the confessions, and after Yunshang carefully read them one by one, she moved her fingers slightly: "Go and call this maid named Qinyue and the wet nurse of His Highness the Prince. Call them one by one, and I want to interrogate them." Interrogation."
Qianzhuo hurriedly responded, and after a while, brought the wet nurse over.
Yunshang's eyes fell on the wet nurse. Chengye's wet nurse was found by her and Luo Qingyan with great effort, and she had always been someone she trusted very much.
"I saw your statement just now, saying that when you bathed His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday, you found that His Highness the Crown Prince's clothes were torn, a piece of fabric was missing, and a mole suddenly appeared on your arm?"
The wet nurse nodded, "Yes."
"Why don't you report it to me?"
The wet nurse hurriedly said: "Reporting to the empress, the servants saw that His Highness's clothes were missing a piece of fabric, but they didn't take it seriously. His Highness is practicing riding and archery, and he is more lively on weekdays. His clothes are hung by branches, or he is practicing martial arts. When you use too much force, it is common to break or tear, such a trivial matter, the slaves do not dare to disturb the empress."
"Then Your Highness has a mole growing on his body?"
There was a faint panic on the nurse's face: "It was too late last night. Originally, the maidservant planned to come to report to the empress early this morning, but last night, His Royal Highness suddenly had a fever and summoned the imperial physician. Remembering this, the maidservant asked Ask the doctor."
"The imperial doctor said that His Royal Highness is already three years old, and it is normal for a three-year-old child to occasionally have one or two moles on his body. If there are not many moles appearing suddenly, or the moles grow up and fester around, then there is nothing serious about it." hinder."
"After hearing what the imperial physician said, the servant girl felt that the servant girl was making too much of a fuss, so she didn't report it to the empress."
Yun Chang tapped lightly on the table with her fingers, and said after a while: "Okay, I believe you."
The wet nurse hurriedly kowtowed to Yun Shang, who paused for a moment when she knocked on the table, and then asked again: "Besides you, who else is the most personal servant of His Royal Highness?"
"Returning to the empress, the servant girl is mainly responsible for the daily life of His Royal Highness. There is also a maid named Qinyue who was promoted by Miss Qianliu when she was serving in the East Palace. Together with the servant girl, she takes care of His Royal Highness personally. Outside, those who practice calligraphy are served by two other servants, one is called Chunlai, and the other is called Qiuqu."
Yun Shang was thoughtful: "Last night, on the way back from the birthday banquet, His Royal Highness, who followed?"
"It's Qinyue."
"After His Royal Highness returned to the East Palace, did the two servants accompany His Highness?"
The nurse recalled it carefully, and shook her head: "His Royal Highness returned to the East Palace a little late, took some supper, played for a while, and then took a bath and rested."
"How is the supper?"
The nurse thought for a while: "I ate a little more than usual. It should be because His Highness the Crown Prince didn't eat much at the palace banquet, so that's why."
Yun Chang nodded, and asked again: "The maid named Qinyue, how does she take care of His Royal Highness on weekdays?"
The wet nurse lowered her head: "It can still be considered dedicated."
"Qinyue is a new court lady who arrived after His Royal Highness moved to the East Palace. She has a relatively stable and introverted temperament. She is only seventeen years old and has been in the palace for more than five years. She also takes care of His Highness very carefully."
"His Royal Highness was only about two years old when he first moved to the East Palace. Although he could speak clearly, he was still young and couldn't express many things. But Qinyue seemed to be very interested in what His Royal Highness wanted and what he wanted to say. I understand, every time I guess right, His Highness the Crown Prince likes her very much, after Miss Qianliu came to the East Palace, she observed her for a while, and then promoted her to be a first-class maid, and served His Highness the Crown Prince personally."
Yun Shang nodded: "Okay, I know, let's get back."
The nanny responded, although she was a little puzzled, but she had been taking care of Chengye for three years, so she naturally understood what to ask and what not to ask, so she just lowered her head and backed out.
"Go and bring that maid named Qinyue over."
After a while, Qianzhuo brought a maid into the house, Yunshang's eyes paused on the maid, but she was somewhat impressed.
Chengye lives in the East Palace, although she doesn't go there often, she has seen all the palace attendants around Chengye.
It was only because Luo Qingyan put these people next to Chengye after several layers of screening, she felt relieved and didn't pay more attention.
Yunshang sized up the maid named Qinyue for a while before she opened her mouth: "Your name is Qinyue?"
"Yes, servant Qinyue, please greet the empress."
Yun Chang nodded, her eyes still falling on her face: "I just saw it just now, you said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the East Palace last night, there was something abnormal? What kind of abnormal method?"
"After His Royal Highness returned to the East Palace, he ate something. The servants observed that he ate more than usual. Last night, he made mung bean soup and peach blossom cakes. Normally, His Royal Highness prefers to drink mung bean soup and eat peach blossom cakes." Last night it was just the opposite, His Royal Highness the mung bean soup took a few sips and then he didn’t want to drink it anymore, but he ate more peach blossom cakes.”
"Later, His Royal Highness was playing on the sidelines, and the servant saw that he didn't like the nine-linked chain and jigsaw puzzles that he usually likes most, but liked the tiger puppet that had been idle for some time."
Yun Chang looked at Qinyue fixedly: "Since you have seen so many things wrong, why didn't you report it?"
"Yesterday, when the maid looked at it, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong. After all, children's temperaments are always unpredictable. If you like one thing today, you may like another tomorrow. It was the empress who asked us before, saying that we should be careful. I believe that there is nothing wrong with His Royal Highness, the servants only remembered this."
There seems to be nothing wrong with this answer.
Yun Shang carelessly stroked the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and after a moment of silence, she asked again: "After leaving the Tai Chi Hall last night, did you accompany His Highness the Crown Prince back to the East Palace?"
"yes."
"What happened on the way?"
Qinyue thought for a while: "On the way, when I walked outside Huixiang Hall, His Highness the Crown Prince didn't know what he saw, so he suddenly ran towards the rockery next to Huixiang Hall."
"His Royal Highness ran too fast. It was dark at that time. His Royal Highness disappeared from the servant's sight for a moment. It took about a few steps to walk back and forth, but the voice kept answering the servant's words. Later, the servant found His Royal Highness. Asked what His Highness the Crown Prince was looking at, His Highness the Crown Prince said he saw a cat, but after chasing it, it disappeared."
"The servant said it was too late, and persuaded His Royal Highness to come look for him during the day, and His Highness complied, and then returned to the East Palace with the servant."
