"Girl, you're not sleeping yet, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Mo Chuan opened his eyes and looked at her slightly annoyed.

Shen Ning was startled and complained: "So you are pretending to be asleep!" This made her shrink back and did not dare to move. At this time, her hands and feet were numb.

He smiled: "I really fell asleep, but if you keep staring at me like this, even a wooden person will wake up."

There was something he didn't have the nerve to say. In fact, how could he sleep peacefully with her in his arms? Even if she didn't move, how could he remain indifferent while breathing in the sweet fragrance emanating from her in his sleep.

"What are you thinking about when you're not sleeping?" He pulled out her hair.

Since she doesn't want to sleep, then he should talk to her. In fact, even if he doesn't say anything, just looking at her feels good.

Shen Ning's eyes rolled, she was indeed thinking about one thing.

"Mochuan, do you think Consort Ye can find out anything when he goes to the eldest princess's residence?"

"I don't know either." Mo Chuan shook his head, "But no matter what, I will never let go of the person who poisoned you. If I catch him, I will order him to be quartered!" He gritted his teeth.

Shen Ning said: "I think Prince Consort Ye must not be able to find any clues. If you want to divide the body into five pieces, you have to find the murderer."

"You don't believe in Tingxuan's ability to do things? As long as he can catch the girl who secretly exchanged venomous snakes, Tingxuan will definitely be able to pry her mouth open."

"Oh, I'm afraid that what Ye Consort just finds is a dead person, and the dead man's mouth is the best at keeping secrets." She sighed quietly.

Mo Chuan's pupils shrank: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is very clear. If you think about it, the girl who secretly traded for the venomous snake will definitely not be the real murderer. At most, she was instructed or bribed to do this. And who is the real murderer? , His mind is indeed clever enough to think of such a seamless way to harm people. Regardless of whether the snake bites you or me, if this matter is investigated, it will be related to the eldest princess. This frame-up, frame-up, The tactic of killing with a borrowed knife can be said to be very effective. Since he could think of using such a method to harm people, how could he leave him alive for investigation? So I guess that the result of Ye's inquiry must be nothing, and that The famous maid either escaped or died. "

After Mo Chuan heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

He originally had great hopes for Ye Tingxuan, but after listening to Shen Ning's words, he felt that everything made sense.

"Then let the real murderer escape like this? He almost killed you. How can I be willing to let him go like this?" Mo Chuan gritted his teeth hard.

"I'm just guessing. Maybe Prince Consort Ye has found the maid now and interrogated her and got the result."

Mo Chuan couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Ning'er, if it's as you expected, then he must not be able to find anything."

At this moment, there were two gentle knocks on the palace door, and Xiaosi's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. Consort Ye has something urgent and wants to see the Emperor."

"Is Tingxuan here?"

Mo Chuan stood up immediately and looked at Shen Ning. He knew that there must be results from Ye Tingxuan, so regardless of the time, he went to the palace overnight to report.

"Let him wait in the side hall for a while. I will be here soon."
