The Crown Prince’s wife quickly pressed her hand to push everyone away.

She asked in a deep voice: "Who asked you to murder my mother-in-law? Have you ever thought about poisoning the winter charcoal for me?"

Shopkeeper Li spoke with difficulty: "I don't know who that person is. He captured your sister-in-law's brother and threatened to castrate him. Moreover, he promised that putting that thing in would not kill anyone, but would only make him sick and unable to go out." That’s all, if I had known it was poison, I would never have been confused!”

Mrs. Li was also in tears. She cried and begged: "Little sister, you are the most kind-hearted. You also know that my family is just a single seedling on the mountain. If he is really exterminated, then how can I have the face to meet my father underground?" Mother, please be noble and spare us this time. We know our mistake and we will never dare to do it again!"

Mrs. Shizi was so angry that this couple dared not to tell the truth.

She didn't believe it. The two of them didn't even know who the other person was, so they dared to kill him.

She said contemptuously: "It seems that I am too merciful. Even if you are about to die, you still dare to lie!"

The couple denied in unison: "We didn't lie, really!"

Mrs. Shizi turned a deaf ear and quickly ordered: "Come here, keep fighting!"

Seeing the bloody board coming up again, shopkeeper Li was so frightened that he peed.

He quickly took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and said: "Although I don't know the identity of that person, I secretly bought this while he was not paying attention. At that time, it looked like the quality of the jade was good, so I thought I could sell it for some money! "

Mrs. Shizi had always known that her cousin's hands and feet were dirty. The fact that he could get things off that person meant that he was not lying.

She took the jade pendant in her hand and found that it was indeed of high quality.

Since she couldn't ask any more questions, she hurried back to resume her life.

After ordering the couple to be locked up in the inner courtyard under strict supervision, she handed the jade pendant to Ji Guogong with an anxious look on her face.

He narrowed his eyes with a serious expression and said: "It looks like something rewarded by the palace, and it has a strong fragrance of powder. If I am not mistaken, it should be the eunuch's jewelry!"

Xiao Sheng took it in his hand and said slowly: "I will take the item given by the emperor and go to the palace to inquire about it!"

In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, he quickly entered the palace.

When he found the eunuch in charge of the royal room, he threw the jade pendant on the table and said, "Check, whose is this?"

The eunuch in charge reached out to pick it up and looked at it carefully: "Your Majesty, where did you get this jade pendant? Can you tell me this?"

"No!" Xiao Sheng refused expressionlessly.

The eunuch in charge was so frightened that he knelt down and slapped him in the face: "I am talking too much, but so many things go out of this imperial room every day. They belong to either this concubine or that empress. I really can't remember them clearly!"

Xiao Sheng narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Go to a place with me, and you will remember it soon!"

Sensing the cruelty on his face, the eunuch in charge suddenly trembled all over.

He almost forgot who he was facing. This was the living King of Hell and the Regent who was sure to make a move and kill without blinking an eye.

Playing tricks under his nose, isn't that asking for death?

He quickly knelt and crawled to his feet, reached out and tugged on the corner of his robe and said, "Don't be upset, Your Majesty. I seem to have a vague impression just now. This jade pendant was taken away by Eunuch Fu who was in front of the Emperor three months ago. He said The emperor rewarded him!"

Xiao Sheng's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, was it him?

Not only did he not want to repent, he even wanted to destroy Xiao You'er's haircut ceremony. It seemed that he didn't want to take the throne.

He didn't hesitate anymore and quickly strode towards the Emperor's Chengming Hall.

The eunuch in charge looked at his back and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

He murmured in a trembling voice: "Eunuch Fu, you have offended this evil god, please save your own life!"

When they arrived at Chengming Hall, they saw Fulin holding a fly whisk and standing under the eaves of the corridor, basking in the sun and dozing off.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, his eyes suddenly widened.

When he saw that the person coming was Xiao Sheng, a flattering smile quickly appeared on his fat face: "It turns out to be the prince. The emperor is discussing matters with the Minister of War. Could you please wait a moment?"

Xiao Sheng said coldly: "If I don't look for the emperor, I will look for you!"

Fulin was stunned: "What do you want from this slave?"

Xiao Sheng opened the jade pendant in his hand and was so shocked that he was sweating profusely.

He trembled and murmured: "I suddenly lost this jade pendant a few days ago. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. It turned out that the prince picked it up!"

Xiao Sheng didn't talk nonsense to him and said directly: "Let's go, come with me to the Duke's Mansion!"

Fulin's expression changed, and he subconsciously refused: "My servant is still on duty. It's not good to leave like this. Why don't you let me report to the emperor?"

Xiao Sheng would not give him a chance to inform him, he just raised his hand and knocked him out and took him away.

Returning to the Duke's Mansion, he poured cold water on him to wake him up.

Shopkeeper Li and his wife were also brought over at this time. When they suddenly saw Eunuch Fu, they quickly testified: "It's him who, with his mountain life, forced us to do something in Dongtan, the Duke's mansion!"

Fulin's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a high voice: "It's ridiculous. The Za family has been walking in the inner palace for a long time, so how can they threaten you? You should keep your eyes open before you speak!"

Shopkeeper Li retorted without hesitation: "When you threatened us, you thought you were not showing your true colors, but you didn't know that I secretly took your jade pendant. That is the evidence!"

Fulin quickly turned to look at Xiao Sheng: "Your Majesty, this servant was wronged. Please be aware that this jade pendant has been lost for a long time. It is possible that it was picked up by others and used to frame him!"

Xiao Sheng curled his lips: "As expected of the eunuch beside the emperor, he is really eloquent!"

Fulin took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, this slave is still on duty. Now that you have brought him out, he has caused an unknown amount of trouble. Please show your dignity and put this slave back!"

Xiao Sheng interrupted in a deep voice: "Don't worry, now that you're out, just sit in the Duke's Mansion for a while before leaving. The Crown Prince's wife has already gone to make bird's nest soup for you!"

After hearing this, Fulin turned pale with fright.

He subconsciously refused: "I don't like sweets, I'm afraid I will let down the prince's wife's kindness!" After speaking, he turned his eyes, as if he was looking for something.

Xiao Sheng noticed his intention and said calmly: "The charcoal pot is burning brightly, otherwise how could this room be so warm?"

No matter how strong Fulin's willpower was, it was directly destroyed at this moment.

He is really scared!

Even his legs could hardly stand and were shaking faintly.

Especially when the Crown Prince brought the steaming bird's nest in with small steps, he almost didn't kneel down.

He pressed firmly on the table to support his limp body.

He gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, please don't embarrass me. I really don't like sweets. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy such a good bird's nest!"
