Pu Taichu entered the house almost at the same time as the palace maid who had returned from searching Yuetao's house.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the palace maid lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead, the queen with a cold face, and several princes with serious faces.

Pu Taichu had been in the palace for many years and knew that the situation before him did not allow him to look or ask more questions. He just lowered his head and followed the palace maid who led the way to the Queen.

Before I could even salute, I heard a childish voice suddenly ringing in my ears.

[Ah! It’s the grandfather who applied the medicine to Cheng Cheng! ]

Pu Taichu raised his head suddenly, and saw the Eleventh Princess sticking her head out from behind the Queen, and -

The Empress and the little princes had looks that were hard to describe.

This look was too inexplicable. Pu Taichu only thought about it for a moment and then came up with a bold guess.

They...can also hear the little princess's thoughts.

Pu Taichu bowed politely, then stood there cautiously, waiting for someone to explain the situation to him.

Jiang Yingcheng didn't let him wait too long.

[These two people are so bad, the imperial physician must find out the poison they put in the meatballs! ]

[Although the Snow Soul Powder is extremely difficult to test, I believe Grandpa can do it! ]

Pu Taichu smiled calmly.

The Xuepo Powder is colorless and tasteless, and is usually mixed in small batches by the poisoner. If the dose added to the food is too small, it would be extremely difficult to detect it.

However, Pu Taichu plucked up the courage to look into the Queen's eyes.

The two of them tacitly understood and accelerated the process.

"Your Highness," Pu Taichu bowed and saluted, "someone has indeed added colorless and tasteless Xuepo Powder into this meal."

Yue Tao, who had already faced the reality, had no reaction, but Yao Qi, who still had illusions about this, suddenly burst into tears.

"You, you bitch, why are you hurting me!" He jumped up from the ground when no one was paying attention, ran straight to Yue Tao, and kicked her hard several times.

Yue Tao glared back with resentment.

She planned very carefully, adding only a small amount each time and dividing it equally on each pill. There wouldn't be much toxin at all. If it weren't for this idiot who didn't even dare to eat that one pill, how could their plan be exposed? !

He accepted so many banknotes from her, but when the truth came out, he wanted to put all the blame on her? !

Simply ridiculous! !

Yue Tao laughed heartily and viciously.

You deserve it!!! You deserve it!!!

The hot tears slid down my cheeks and into the corners of my mouth, salty and bitter.

She finally couldn't hold it in any longer and broke down crying.

However, Kan Nianzhen was not in the mood to watch their show. She raised her hand with an impatient look, and soon the guards rushed forward to separate the two.

"I will only give you one chance," Kan Nianzhen finally looked them in the face, "whoever answers truthfully first, I can promise that I will never mention this matter again."

As for what will happen to the other one, everyone present has their own bloody little drama in their minds.

Yao Qi and Yue Tao paused, and a light of hope suddenly flashed in their eyes.

"Who is the mastermind behind this?" Kan Nianzhen asked quietly.

The breathing of both of them stagnated.

The person behind the scenes never appeared in front of them in person. Even the subordinates who were responsible for delivering messages were extremely cautious. Every time they appeared, they had to wear a mask on their faces and cover their bodies tightly...

They had no idea who that person was.

but--

"Fei Xuan!"

"Concubine Hui!"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

The two people who wanted to get away with it fell into new despair as soon as they said this.

[Hmm? Can't this even bring up Concubine Rou?!]

Jiang Yingcheng was only troubled for a moment before he became excited again.

[Don't be afraid! Chengcheng will write a report letter when he returns! ]

Kan Nianzhen burst out laughing, not knowing who he was laughing at.

She waved her hand: "Go down."

Her voice was gentle and there was a smile on her face, which was an action that could easily make people let down their guard, but neither of them could give it a glimmer of hope.

Sure enough, the next moment, guards rushed in from outside the door, escorted the two people who had already turned into a puddle of mud, and walked out in an unknown direction.

……

There was a thick stack of silver bills found in Yue Tao's room. Jiang Yingcheng just glanced at it a few more times accidentally, and then Kan Nianzhen directly ordered the palace maid to stuff the stack of silver bills into her.

Now a group of people were standing at the fork in the road, forming a circle and holding a mysterious and solemn ceremony to divide the spoils.

"One for my eighth brother, one for me. One for my seventh brother, one for me. One for my younger brother, one for me..."

"I have a question," Jiang Qiuyu raised his hand and asked, "Why is your stack so much thicker than ours?"

Jiang Yingcheng was shocked: "How can you argue with your lovely and kind sister?"

Jiang Qiuyu was defeated.

Lin Jinshu said coldly: "I don't want it."

Jiang Yingcheng patted him on the shoulder earnestly, like a little adult whose soul had been possessed by someone else: "You are still young and don't understand the importance of money. Listen to your sister and put it away quickly!"

Lin Jinshu stopped talking.

Jiang Yingcheng turned his head silently and stared at Jiang Xingran.

Jiang Xingran only held out for a moment, then silently put his share into his arms.

Jiang Yingcheng looked at such a harmonious scene with satisfaction and felt happy.

[This family can't do without me! ! ]

"cough."

The voice coming from behind made Jiang Yingcheng stiffen.

Jiang Tinghuai smiled and said, "No share for me?"

【Who? Who is talking? ! 】

Jiang Yingcheng quietly put away his banknotes, grabbed Lin Jinshu's hand and ran away!

Anyway, the next route is not going to be convenient, so let’s just run for our lives!

The two little guys had short legs, so even though they ran wildly, the guards accompanying them followed steadily behind them, without even their breathing becoming disordered.

But fortunately, I managed to get rid of the Crown Prince.

Jiang Yingcheng looked back several times like a thief, and only slowed down his pace when he was sure that the prince would not catch up with him.

"call……"

[We also successfully protected our little money today! 】

Lin Jinshu struggled to calm his breathing.

He understood the truth, but——

“Why should I run too?”

The prince was obviously teasing his younger brothers and sisters, and it was awkward for him, an "outsider", to get involved.

Maybe, people have never paid any attention to themselves at all.

The darkness in his heart grew wildly, and was about to swallow him whole.

Jiang Yingcheng looked puzzled: "You are my brother, of course you have to be with me~"

The words that came out of his mouth were full of self-righteousness, and they unreasonably dispelled all the gloom and madness in his eyes just now.

Lin Jinshu paused slightly, and her cheeks quickly turned red.

Ever since his aunt told him clearly about his identity, everyone in the mansion treated him like an outsider. Although they were polite and considerate, he rarely felt the warmth of home.

Unexpectedly, the gap he had longed for for a long time was filled by Jiang Yingcheng's just one sentence.

He took a few steps towards Jiang Yingcheng, not wanting her to see the embarrassment on his face.

[Alas, it would be great if mother could take my brother to live in the palace, so that they can be reunited. ]

Lin Jinshu's footsteps suddenly stopped, anger brewing in his eyes.

she knows? !
