When Ji Xun asked this question, Shen Yuan suddenly thought of something, and reached out his hand to find something under the pillow.

"I just felt that the sole of my foot slipped and I stepped on something rolling, so I fell forward uncontrollably. After I fell, my palm rested on the ground and was embedded in my palm."

Ji Xun frowned, took the thing and saw it was a soybean.

The courtyard is covered with thick snow, and the ice surface is very slippery after stepping on it. If you add these few grains of soybeans, let alone a pregnant woman who is pregnant with Liujia, even a normal person will slip.

Ji Xun looked over and found that it was a dry soybean, which meant that Shen Yuan had just sprinkled it on the ground before stepping on it.

So was it man-made or did the kitchen nurse accidentally drop it on the ground? Ji Xun felt that it was necessary to investigate carefully.

After talking for a while, Shen Yuyu became tired again, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After Ji Xun tucked the quilt for Shen Yu'an, he ordered Ling'er and Qin'er to wait beside him, and slowly walked out of the hall while twirling the soybean.

Miao Xiang and Hong Yu waited respectfully outside. Although it wasn't snowing, they were both very cold and almost froze.

Especially Hongyu, her clothes were all wet after kneeling in the snow for so long, and she was shaky and unsteady.

Seeing the Night King coming out, both of them fell to their knees, "Your Majesty is negligent, please punish me."

Ji Xun didn't say anything, he looked around and found several soybeans on the ground, after thinking about it, he called Shadow to give instructions in a low voice. "Go and investigate to see if there are soybeans purchased in the mansion today."

"Yes, Your Highness." Shadow accepted the order and bowed to retreat.

After the shadow left, Ji Xun walked up to Miao Xiang and Hong Yu, staring at them with cold eyes that made one feel chills.

"Why did I transfer you to Youran Palace? To think that such a big thing would happen to Yu Yu. Fortunately, she is fine, otherwise even one head would not be enough for you to lose.'

"It's all the subordinate's fault, the subordinate deserves to die."

"The king will investigate this matter clearly. You two follow me first."

After Ji Xun finished speaking, he brought Miao Xiang and Hong Yu to the side hall, and then called Ling'er over for questioning.

"What was the situation at that time? Tell me." Ji Xun said in a stern tone.

If this matter is man-made, then the seriousness of the problem goes without saying.

There is a cruel and ruthless person hidden around Yu'an who wants to harm her. If he doesn't find out this person, how can he protect the safety of his wife and children? So he must investigate this matter to the bottom.

Ling'er blamed herself, and said with red eyes:
"The slave was holding the queen's arm, but the queen suddenly slipped and the slave couldn't hold her up! She even slipped and fell. Fortunately, she didn't hit the queen. Otherwise, the slave would have died ten thousand times."

"How did you slip and fall? Can you see clearly?" Ji Xun asked.

He was completely relieved of Ling'er, since Shen Yu'an was pregnant, Ling'er had been by her side, if she had a problem, how could Shen Yu'an be safe and sound to this day?
And Qin'er was also brought to Beijing from Kang'an City. If she had any evil intentions, it would have been exposed long ago.

So the only ones who have problems are those people who have been summoned into the Leisurely Palace in the past few days.

Three wet nurses, six maids to take care of the little emperor's grandson, and Miao Xiang and Hong Yu.

But Miaoxiang and Hongyu shouldn't be, he saved the lives of these two girls, and they have been trained in his secret guard organization, so it is impossible for them to be bought by others.

Just thinking about it, Linger spoke.

"I didn't think about it that much at the time. Looking back now, the empress seemed to have stepped on something very slippery. She couldn't stand still and fell down suddenly. At that time, the maidservant was frightened and didn't pay attention."

"What about you? Did you see clearly how the princess slipped?" Ji Xun turned his attention to Miao Xiang and Hong Yu.

"My subordinates didn't see how your empress fell. At that time, an injured bird fell from a tree, and my subordinates and Hongyu were distracted.
She and Hongyu grew up together. She couldn't bear to see Hongyu being punished, so she didn't tell the truth and rushed to take the blame together.

Hongyu shook her head vigorously, but did not speak.

He seemed a little uncomfortable, and even kneeling on the ground was a little unsteady.

Ji Xun looked at the two of them, and really couldn't suspect this matter on them.

However, he still reprimanded them severely, and after the reprimand was about to wake them up, Hongyu suddenly fainted on the ground after shaking for a while.

Miao Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to check, and found that Hongyu's body was hot as if it was on fire, so she anxiously begged Ji Xun.

"Your Highness, Hongyu suddenly has a high fever, I'm afraid I need to ask the doctor to show her."

Ji Xun was not a hard-hearted person either, so he asked Miao Xiang to take Hongyu back to his residence, and then asked the doctor in the mansion to come and see Hongyu.

After finishing these, the shadow came back.

"Your Highness, the mansion did buy beans today. Nanny Liao said they were going to stew pig's trotters for the nanny to milk. Coincidentally, there was a nanny who was the nanny of the kitchen and brought the beans to Leisurely Palace."

"And the subordinates specially checked the bag of soybeans. There is indeed a small hole, which may be bitten by a mouse."

After hearing this, Ji Xun nodded, thinking that he might have thought too much, and it might really be just an accident.

Fortunately, Yu Yu and the children were fine, otherwise these few leaked soybeans would have been the culprit.

This matter can be regarded as a clear investigation, Ji Xun put away a trace of doubt in his heart and walked into the hall.

Shen Yu'an didn't sleep for a long time, but at this time she was woken up again by contractions and wound pain.

Seeing Ji Xun coming in, she grabbed his warm big hand, leaned into his arms and talked to him to distract, so as to reduce the pain.

"How's the investigation of Soybean's matter going?" She just woke up with an angry voice, with a pretty face hidden in a thick confinement hat, very cute and cute.

Looking at her, Ji Xun felt a softness in his heart, stretched out his hand to pinch her pretty little nose, and pecked on her lips. "It was an accident." Ji Xun said softly, "The bag containing the soybeans was bitten by a mouse, and the soybeans leaked out~~" Ji Xun lightly stroked Shen Yu'an's hand, and told Shen Yu'an what happened.

Shen Yuan pondered for a while after listening.

"If the bag is leaked, it must have been dropped everywhere on the way into the mansion. Can Ah Ran go and see it?" She didn't believe such a coincidence.

If the hole the mouse bites is big enough, the seeds will leak out long ago. If it is small enough, it is impossible to drop so many seeds in the same place.

She was sure that at the moment before she fell, there were at least five, six, seven or eight soybeans under her foot, otherwise, she would not have fallen so firmly because of her skill.

After all, Ji Xun was a rough guy from a military camp, some things really didn't think so carefully, Shen Yuan's words reminded him.

"I'll just take a look." After speaking, he got up and left.
