My Lady is well

Jing Ruzhang stared at her as if he were looking at prey. The palace maid trembled all over and buried her head in her chest.

"what is it call?"

"... your maidservant... your maidservant's name is Ziying."

"Tell me, why did you commit suicide?"

"...I am afraid of being punished."

At this time, Wen Xueshu's personal maid Mu Yun walked out of the bedroom. When she saw Ziying kneeling on the ground, she became extremely excited.

He immediately stepped forward and knelt in front of Jing Ruzhang: "Your Highness, it's her. This afternoon, the master took a sip of the bamboo rhyme dew that Ziying sent over, and he started to have a stomachache in the evening."

Jing Ruzhang frowned: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Your Highness, I didn't think it was the problem with the bamboo rhyme dew. I thought there was something wrong with the dinner."

Jing Ruzhang raised his chin slightly and said coldly.

"Tell me, who told you to do this?"

Who knew that Ziying was such a hot-tempered person and she wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide on the spot.

However, she was a little slow.

Jing Ruzhang's eyes were as sharp as the wind. He noticed it immediately and kicked her in the face without mercy.

Ziying threw herself towards the tea table and was about to bump into Li Ning.

Li Ning held the teacup and calmly tapped the ground with her toes. The chair moved back four or five inches, and the tea in her hand did not spill at all.

Ziying bumped into the tea table and fell to the ground, with bruises on her face and blood at the corners of her mouth.

Shen Yueyao glanced at Li Ning, then turned her gaze to Ziying on the ground.

Is there really someone who would risk his own life just to harm a cell? !

Are these people all crazy?

She frowned, her hands and feet were cold, and she was extremely shocked.

Jing Ruzhang stood tall, with his hands behind his back, a fierce gleam in his dark eyes.

The voice was sinister: "If you want to die, there's no rush."

The Crown Princess was frightened by what happened just now. She covered her chest and kept coughing. Shu Xin handed her a cup of hot tea to moisten her stomach and she felt better.

She stood up and walked to the prince, speaking gently.

"How can a little maid like her make the decision? I think there must be someone behind this."

Shen Yueyao felt that she was talking nonsense. The key point was who was the person who ordered this?

Ziying propped herself up with her hands and looked around at the people in the room, then slowly raised her hand and pointed at Shen Yueyao.

"It was her. She ordered it."

? !

Shen Yueyao was stunned and gasped.

He raised his finger in disbelief and pointed it at himself, as if to confirm with her.

She suddenly realized that everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Suspicion, surprise, ridicule, resentment...

Jing Ruzhang looked at her with cold eyes.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Shen Yueyao blinked a few times, walked calmly to Jing Ruzhang, knelt down, and kowtowed to him.

She said calmly, "Your Highness, I did not do such a thing. Can you allow me to ask her a few questions to prove her innocence?"

He lowered his eyes to look at her, thinking for a moment.

"I want to see how you can prove it."

After saying this, he turned around and sat back in the rosewood armchair.

Shen Yueyao placed her slender fingers on Jin'er's cuffs, trembling slightly. She slowly stood up, walked to Ziying, and looked at her for a few seconds.

This girl is quite fair, but unfortunately she has become someone else's pawn.

"You said I gave you this medicine? When did I give it to you? Where did I give it to you?"

Ziying lowered her eyelids, not daring to look at her, and just said.

"Yes... it was given to me by Miss Jin'er beside you."

Jin Er was furious: "You little..."

Shen Yueyao knew that she was speaking without restraint and immediately looked at her with a warning look.

Jin'er understood and immediately stopped talking. She glared at Ziying angrily and wished she could go over and stab her with a few needles.

Ziying spoke in a low voice, but Shen Yueyao could tell she was guilty and snorted coldly.

"You said Jin'er gave it to you. When and where did Jin'er give it to you?"

"Miss Jin'er... gave it to me last night...last night."

Shen Yueyao said in a deep voice: "Jin'er, where did you go last night?"

Jin Er knelt down and said, "I talked with Qiu Ju for a while last night, and then we went to feed a few wild cats in Feihua Pavilion next door. We didn't go anywhere else."

Yang Li lowered his eyelids and glanced at the prince who was sitting on the throne.

Jing Ruzhang lowered his eyelids, his emotions could not be seen, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Although Qiuju is serving outside the courtyard, she is still a member of Liu Fengxuan's staff. I'm afraid her words may not be credible."

Shen Yueyao sneered in her heart, with the corners of her lips slightly curved.

"Sister really knows Liu Fengxuan very well. She even knows that Qiu Ju is serving in the outer courtyard."

Yang Li knew that he had said something wrong, and his heart flickered. He raised his eyes and spoke calmly.

"I've seen that girl before, and I have some impression of her."

Shen Yueyao chuckled and continued while looking at Ziying.

"Jin'er said she went to Feihua Pavilion. Although no one has lived in Feihua Pavilion for a long time, there are still servants on duty at the door. We can find out whether she went there or not by asking. When did you see Jin'er last night?"

Ziying just glanced away and insisted on answering a question that was irrelevant to the question.

"The medicine was given by Miss Jin'er."

Shen Yueyao glanced at her coldly, then turned and bowed deeply to Jing Ruzhang.

"Your Highness, Ziying's hesitancy shows that her words are not trustworthy."

The Crown Princess also nodded and said, "Yes, this girl answered the question irrelevantly. It seems that she is making random accusations in a desperate situation. But she did mention Sister Shen after all. How can Sister Shen's innocence be tarnished by her? If this matter gets to the ears of the Queen Mother, Sister Shen is afraid..."

Shen Yueyao's heart sank. The Queen valued Wen Xueshu and originally looked down on her as a businesswoman.

The Queen doesn't care about innocence or not. She will definitely be angry because her precious grandson is gone.

Then she will definitely be cannon fodder.

Jing Ruzhang frowned and stared at her for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"The imperial physician said that Concubine Wen had planted an extremely rare poison called Ten Fragrance Powder, which is not found in the palace. Concubine Wen was not poisoned too seriously, and the fetus was just injured..."

He suddenly thought of something and called out sharply.

"Jiang Ye, order a search of all parts of the East Palace."

Jiang Ye retreated upon receiving the order.

The Crown Princess was slightly frightened, her eyelids drooped, and she spoke weakly.

"I'm afraid that if this happens, it will definitely reach the ears of the Queen Mother tomorrow."

Jing Ruzhang said coldly: "Do you think you can hide this from her? The most important thing right now is to find the murderer."

Yang Li held the armrest tightly and said in a tender voice, "Why are you making such a big noise?"

Jing Ruzhang glanced at her coldly: "Why? Concubine Yang has any objection?"

Yang Li immediately lowered her head: "I dare not."

Shen Yueyao was worried, fearing that the Queen would not know the truth and would use this incident to kill her tomorrow.

Then she would really become a wronged ghost, but I hope Ru Zhang can really find something tonight.

She had checked all of Liu Fengxuan's servants and would definitely not give others the opportunity to frame her.

Shen Yueyao sat next to Li Ning and turned her head to find that she was also looking at her with a teasing and indifferent look.

Shen Yueyao snorted softly, picked up the teacup, and slowly drank a sip of tea.

"Who do you think it is?"

Li Ning suddenly asked in a low voice for no reason.

Shen Yueyao looked at the teacup in her hand with her eyelashes drooped, and thought for a moment.

"It's all possible."

"Can we find out tonight?"

"I don't know. I hope I can find out."

"It seems that you are not the only smart person in the East Palace."

"..."

Shen Yueyao didn't take her words to heart. Who among those sitting here is the little white rabbit?

Even she found Li Biyun, who usually kept silent, unfathomable.

However, judging from Ziying's performance just now, slandering her was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, otherwise there wouldn't be so many loopholes.

Why did she do that?

Could it be that the person behind her wanted to get rid of her?

She was almost certain that it was either Song Yuanyi or Yang Li.

Song Yuanyi would use her at the critical moment, or even sacrifice her. There was no reason to let the palace maid drug her and drag her down with her, thus losing a chess piece in vain.

Shen Yueyao finally set her sights on Yang Li.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Yang Li, then she curled her lips and glanced lightly at Ziying who was kneeling on the ground.

Shen Yueyao frowned slightly, seeing how calm and composed she was.

I think everything has been dealt with, and it will be difficult to find anything useful tonight.

She shook her head and sighed dejectedly.

Jiang Ye came in with a few guards, carrying a bunch of random things, including medicinal herbs, incense, and some unknown wood.

Jiang Ye presented a bag of medicinal herbs to the prince. Jing Ruzhang took a wary look at it and said in a cold voice.

"What is this?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, this was found in Liufengxuan."
