The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 163: Injustice, Checking Chenxiang Courtyard

Everyone came to the door of the study, and Ye Xiaohan raised his hand, "Open the door and window."

Several guards opened the door, stood outside the house, and opened all the windows from the outside.

Yun Mujiu was in good spirits at this time. Just now in the sedan chair, she took out supplies from the doctor's system, took a painkiller injection, and drank a bottle of refreshing medicine.

"Fu Qian, bring me my medicine box."

Yun Mujiu took the medicine box, took out a pair of white latex gloves from it, and put them on. She stood at the threshold, took off her shoes, and stepped into the door wearing only her socks.

She turned to Ye Xiaohan and said, "Your Highness, please let Fu Qian and Doctor Fu come in with me." If she found out anything, Doctor Fu and his grandson could serve as witnesses to prove that she did not deliberately put anything in the study.

"Okay," Ye Xiaohan agreed, "I'll watch here."

Yun Mujiu had no objection. She turned around and told Doctor Fu and his grandson, "Just follow me in. If I need anything, I'll ask for your help."

Doctor Fu and Fu Qian responded, and they followed Yun Mujiu's example, taking off their shoes and walking into the door cautiously.

The first things to be checked were the boxes containing Dr. Wu’s stored medicines.

Yun Mujiu opened the medicine boxes. There were not many herbs left in each box. He checked them quickly and found nothing strange. Doctor Fu and Fu Qian were also watching.

She thought there might be a hidden layer, so she carefully observed it while running her hand across the inner layer of the box. Finally, she found a layer in the box.

“There’s a mezzanine here…”

Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Yun Mujiu, and Ye Xiaohan also looked at Yun Mujiu.

"Let me take a look first. There may not be any problem."

Yun Mujiu opened the compartment and took out several packets of medicinal herbs wrapped in butter paper. He opened them and took a look, then said calmly, "These are extremely rare medicinal herbs. One packet contains the raw materials used by Doctor Wu and his daughter to make spices, and there is nothing unusual about it."

Everyone was mentally prepared and would not be particularly disappointed. This was just the beginning, and there were still many things to check.

Then, Yun Mujiu looked serious and carefully checked the cabinets, shelves, tables, couches and other furniture in the house, as well as screens, bookcases, cups and plates, stationery and other furnishings.

Time passed minute by minute, but no unusual movement was found, and most people began to get anxious.

Yun Mujiu remained calm and composed, and continued to check at a fast pace.

Afterwards, she stopped in front of the largest rosewood desk in the house, checked the desk, the items on the desk, and the drawers. She half-knelt down, stretched out her left hand and carefully felt the back of the desk.

Finally, she raised her eyebrows and touched a slightly concave area. With a strong push, a rectangular area of ​​the wooden board on the tabletop became concave.

Yun Mujiu took out a notebook from the groove and opened it.

Yun Mujiu frowned. There were many words written on the book, with both old and new dates. She had seen the list Wu Mingwei had written for Dr. Wu and recognized Wu Mingwei's handwriting.

"This is Wu Mingwei's notebook. There are some words and dates written on it."

After browsing the book, Yun Mujiu read the last paragraph: "I hate that you don't know me and have failed me. I hope you know my heart and we will never be apart."

Everyone's expression froze. Usually, everyone could see Wu Mingwei's feelings for her own prince. But no one expected that Wu Mingwei, who appeared cold on the surface, would write such bold words in private.

And what Wu Mingwei meant by this passage is that the prince cares about the princess, loves her wrongly, and ignores her feelings. She hopes that the prince can identify true love as soon as possible and stay with her forever.

Yun Mujiu noticed something strange. "What Wu Mingwei wrote a few days ago was a bit extreme. She seemed particularly dissatisfied with me."

What happened a few days ago was just before the herbal bath. Wu Mingwei's diary can prove that she had ulterior motives, so it is possible that she framed Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu took a clean handkerchief and wrapped the book, then said to Fu Qian, "Show it to the prince."

There was no emotion on Ye Xiaohan's face. He took the notebook, flipped through it casually, and threw it to Wei Bai.

Wei Bo took a few glances and his expression changed drastically. Wu Mingwei was so gloomy!

Ye Xiaohan glared at Wei Song with his sidelong glance, "You were guarding Chenxiang Court before, didn't you know that there was a hidden layer in the desk?" Wei Song was secretly supervising Wu Mingwei, how could he not know that Wu Mingwei had recorded things privately many times?

Wei Song's neck turned red, and he lowered his head: "I'm sorry! It was my negligence!"

"We will punish them together later." Ye Xiaohan said coldly.

A guard came running over from a distance. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Doctor Wu and his daughter asked if the people in the palace had left. They don't want to stay in the dark room anymore."

Ye Xiaohan said impatiently, "Watch them, don't let anyone escape."

"Yes!" The guards ran away after receiving the order.

The existing notebook as physical evidence at least proves that Doctor Wu and his daughter had impure motives and may have been involved in the destruction of the medicinal bath and cannot easily escape responsibility.

But this is not enough, more evidence and clues are needed.

Yun Mujiu blinked, stood against the table, and looked at a bookshelf.

The only books left to be checked should be the ones on the bookshelf, right?

She walked forward slowly and flipped through the books on the bookshelf one by one. There were not many books, most of which were medical books. Yun Mujiu had learned speed reading, so she quickly skimmed through all the books.

Fu Qian and Doctor Fu looked at Yun Mujiu's actions and felt anxious but unable to help him.

Ye Xiaohan lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze remained on Yun Mujiu, his mind full of thoughts.

After a while, there was still no new discovery. Outside the house, except for Ye Xiaohan, everyone's eyebrows and eyes were a little anxious.

Yun Mujiu finished flipping through the last medical book, and her eyes lit up. She raised the book in her hand and said, "One page was torn off. The previous page talked about how to make people with weak constitutions feel uneasy."

She handed the book to Doctor Fu. Doctor Fu was a little excited, looked at it for a few seconds, and then handed the book to Ye Xiaohan.

Yun Mujiu looked towards Ye Xiaohan and said, "Your Majesty, my constitution is weak and cold. The day before and on the day of the incident, I was very upset and vomited blood for no reason."

"And Your Majesty, the various toxins in your body barely maintain a balance and will not be easily stimulated by cold medicines."

Ye Xiaohan replied: "Okay. There are abnormalities in the notebook and the medical book. Doctor Wu and his daughter cannot stay out of it."

"Yeah." Yun Mujiu was not happy yet, she knew it was not enough. Turning around and looking around, the doctor's system had not detected anything wrong since she entered the room.

Yun Mujiu's eyes swept across a potted plant next to the bookshelf.

Potted plant?

She squatted down and just as her attention fell on the potted plant, she heard the doctor's system prompt: "There is a poison needle in the soil!"

"Hmm?" Yun Mujiu made a new discovery. "Why is the color of the soil in one area slightly different from that in other areas?"

Yun Mujiu took out a small knife from his sleeve and, like cutting a cake, he quickly turned over the unusual piece of soil.
