"Poisoning?" Everyone standing in the hall looked at each other in disbelief, but the maid seemed to kneel down suddenly, and hurriedly said, "Princess, it's none of the servant's business. Aunt Qinyi let the servant come in just now. Laying the mat, the servant girl came in and saw the cat lying on the ground with no breath, which shocked the servant girl, so the servant girl couldn't help screaming, and then realized that this cat was picked up by the servant girl and other palace maids to feed it. Thinking about it, afraid that the princess would blame her, she thought of throwing it out of the window first, and deal with it later, but the servant never thought that the cat was poisoned to death... "
Yun Chang glanced at her lightly, "What is right and what is wrong, this princess believes that this adult will give this princess an explanation..."
The head of the Supervisory Office immediately lowered his head and replied, "Yes, this is the job of a slave, but murdering a princess is a serious crime, and a slave must report to the emperor, princess, look?"
Yun Chang nodded, "That's natural, but the adults must have responsibilities, so let my personal servant girl report to the father." Just as the manager was about to say something, Yun Shang helped her up. Uh, he opened his mouth and said, "It's really frustrating to encounter this kind of thing as soon as I come back. My lord should find out the real culprit for this princess earlier, otherwise this princess will not live in peace here. Qin Yi, go …”
Qin Yi nodded and hurriedly backed out. Yun Shang said again, "Although no one was killed here this time, it's just that the poison was put in the medicine bowl of the princess. If the princess accidentally drank it, I'm afraid there is no way to talk here now. Whoever poisoned him should be someone from the Palace of Pure Heart, my lord, please ask someone to lock up the Palace of Pure Heart, and don’t let the murderer escape.”
The head of the supervisory office nodded repeatedly and said yes, "What the princess said is true, the servant will do it now."
Yun Chang nodded, coughed twice, leaned against the bedpost and closed his eyes to doze off, his face was pale, and he looked weak.
"The princess's medicine has also been spilled, how about I let the servant cook another bowl for you?" Yun Shang closed her eyes and heard Qin Meng's low voice. Yun Chang didn't open her eyes either, and waved her hands, "Forget it, this princess's body is just like this, don't bother to cook any medicine, this princess can still catch her breath now, if she is really poisoned, I'm afraid I don't even have to breathe, this medicine doesn't matter."
Hearing this, Qin Meng retreated timidly to the side, her eyes swept over Yun Chang, then lowered her head, staring at the faintly exposed toes under her dress, her hands in her sleeves were tightly clasped together.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please go slowly, don't worry..." There was a hurried shout outside the door, it was Eunuch Zheng's voice. Father is here? Thinking in her heart, Yun Chang opened her eyes, only to see a flash of bright yellow flashing in front of her eyes, and then fixed her eyes, and saw Emperor Ning's face appearing in front of her eyes, her eyes were full of anxiety, "Shang'er, Are you OK?"
Yun Shang quickly shook her head, "Father, don't worry, Chang'er is fine, but it's a pity that this cat has suffered on Chang'er's behalf, it's a sin."
Emperor Ning came in a hurry, saw that Yunshang was fine, and his mood settled down a bit. He sat aside and looked back at the chief inspector who was kneeling on the ground, "Check, we must find the murderer."
The head of the Supervisory Office quickly responded, "Yes, I will investigate now, my servant." Then he stood up and said to the eunuch-like people behind him, "Go and bring all the palace people in this courtyard to the main hall."
After finishing the order, he turned around and asked Emperor Ning, "Your Majesty, do you and the princess..."
Emperor Ning turned around and said softly to Yun Shang, "Shang'er is not in good health, so let's not go out, I just go and watch."
Yun Chang thought for a while, "After all, this incident happened because of Chang'er. If you don't go to watch and catch the murderer in person, Shang'er will not feel at ease, so let's watch together. Besides, everyone in the Palace of Pure Heart is suspected , I am no exception."
Emperor Ning was silent for a while, then sighed softly, "Then let's go together." Then he stood up and walked outside.
Qin Yi hurriedly supported Yun Shang to follow, Emperor Ning and Yun Shang sat down in the hall, and the father-in-law called Director Cui had already gathered all the palace people in the hall.
"Who got this medicine from the imperial physician? Who boiled it? Who keeps the pot of boiling medicine? Who sent it to the princess' bedroom? Who used the medicine during this period? Come here one by one. Let's talk about it."
Hearing this, Yunshang took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the sweat from her forehead, smiled, and said softly, "It is said that the judge of the case should be better than this princess, but when I was in Ningguo Temple, there was The first time I saw people being interrogated in the temple, I felt that Abbot Wuna’s method was not bad. It’s better to lock these people in different rooms and have different people interrogate them at the same time. The results of the interrogation are recorded. I'm sorry, just check it out."
When Eunuch Cui heard the words, he repeatedly said yes, "Abbot Wuna is indeed a man of great wisdom. The slave is taught, and he still doesn't follow what the princess said."
Then some eunuchs questioned people one by one, and took all the people who had contact with the medicine down. After taking them down, Eunuch Cui ordered the questions to be asked one by one, and let them go to ask.
In less than a cup of tea, they all inquired and got the result.
"At the moment of Shenshi, Qin Meng and Xiang'er brought back the medicine from the imperial hospital together, and it was brewed by Jingxi and Qiuwen. Said that the medicine was a bit hot, and she would drink it after drying it, so she went out for a walk with Qin Yi. During the walk, the court lady Yan'er went into the bedroom to lay the bedding for the princess... During the whole process, the autumn pattern of boiling the medicine, Qin Meng who served the medicine, and cleaning the bedroom Yan’er, and Qingxin, who kept the princess tableware, are all suspected.” Eunuch Cui said this, and bowed to Emperor Ning, “Your Majesty, I request that the rooms and bodies of these people be searched.”
Emperor Ning nodded, "Sure."
"After all, they are all maids of honor. If you want to search your body, you should find a few nuns." Yun Shang reminded softly.
"Yes, the slave will save it." Eunuch Cui replied, took the people down, and came back with two paper bags in a short while, "Reporting to the emperor, princess, the slave found it on Qingxin's body and under Yan'er's pillow. A paper packet containing medicine."
Emperor Ning put the cup in his hand on the table heavily, and made a "bang" sound, "Go and bring them up!"
Eunuch Cui waved his hand, and someone went out. After a while, he brought all the maids in. Emperor Ning frowned and said sharply, "There is no need to interrogate again. I am waiting by the princess, but I am wearing a All these unclean things were pulled out and chopped."
As soon as the words fell, the two kneeling in the middle all screamed, and a maid in pink shouted quickly, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, this paper bag is just ordinary licorice powder, and I have been coughing a lot lately." , so I made a special trip to the Tai Hospital to get some licorice, which should be boiled water to drink, but the servants felt that there were too many things in the kitchen and did not have so much time, so they asked the people from the Tai Hospital to grind it into powder and put it in water to drink."
