"What's the reason?" Jingzhi asked.

Nan Xi had to call everyone before announcing it.

At the ugly time, everyone including Li Qingmo, Tang Jingxin, Yu Guiyuan and others gathered at the inn.

Nan Xi asked Wen Ying to prepare a bowl of wine and soak the silver needle in the wine in public.

"This is a silver needle taken out from the head of the Crown Princess. It is tempered with a toxin that can paralyze people's nerves and cause painless death. This toxin is revealed when exposed to wine. You can see the wine in the bowl now. Fading to black.”

She asked Xia Rui to catch two mice and pour black wine into them. Soon, the two mice died peacefully without any struggle.

Everyone was surprised.

"Die so soon?" Tang Jingjing asked: "How long will it take for the poison to take effect on the Crown Princess?"

Nan Xi: "Soon, the time from poisoning to death will not take more than a quarter of an hour, and the time of death of the Crown Princess is Youshi."

"This is impossible." Jing Zhi retorted again: "I gave the imperial concubine anti-fetal medicine at [-]:[-] a.m. Shenshi. She was still fine at that time. After that, I kept guarding the yard and didn't see anyone. People come and go.”

Yu Guiyuan looked at Jing Zhi: "So, General Jing is the last person to see the Crown Princess."

He is also the most suspicious person.

Jing Zhi now unleashed her hostility towards every Dongyue person around her equally. She glared at Yu Guiyuan and asked, "Who are you?"

Yu Guiyuan handed over his hand: "Gyeonggi Patrol Division, Mr. Tang and I are jointly responsible for this case."

Tang Qingqing: "?"

When did it happen?

Why doesn't he know?
Li Qingmo lightly raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Guiyuan, saying nothing about him dragging Tang Jingjing into the water and sharing the responsibility.

Jing Zhi snorted coldly: "Are you doubting me? If I wanted to kill the Crown Princess, I would have many opportunities and ways to do it, and I would never be in such a position where you would doubt me."

This is true.

However, Yu Guiyuan still insisted: "Just an unfounded statement cannot clear your suspicion, so from now on, General Jing can't participate in anything related to this case, and you can't touch the body of the princess." .”

After she finished speaking, in addition to Jingzhi's cronies, other people from the Blue Bird Kingdom also looked at her suspiciously.

Jing Zhi is a straight-tempered man with a bad temper. He scolded him harshly: "Trash! Idiot! Do you doubt this general based on just a few words from these Dongyue people?"

The palace people lowered their heads silently.

But no one knew what he was thinking.

In the Yin period, the letter written by Jing Zhi was rushed back to the Blue Bird Kingdom for [-] miles.

At around [-] o'clock in the morning, Nan Xi and the others finally checked the confessions of all the people who were at the inn at the time of the crime and discovered the clues.

"You see, this person named Cui Xun said that he was doing laundry in the south courtyard of the inn when the incident occurred, but the confessions of the other two people also mentioned that they had gone to the south courtyard to pick up things, and they did not say that they saw Cui Xun."

Nan Xi laid out the confessions of these three people on the table.

Wen Ying didn't even look at it and turned around to find Cui Xun.

But Cui Xun disappeared.

"What do you mean missing?" Wen Ying asked the Bluebird Kingdom envoy, "Isn't he the servant of your Crown Princess? No one follows him when he goes in and out?"

These two people were the ones whose confessions were inconsistent with Cui Xun's, and they were also the servants of the Crown Princess.

They said: "Although we are all servants of the Crown Princess, in fact we are just like the maids in your country. We are all slaves and are not valued. Cui Xun needs to be pampered and has more freedom to come and go, unlike us." , Even where you go, you have to report and get permission."

Wen Ying asked again: "Has anyone else seen Cui Xun?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.

"I didn't notice."

"It seems that I haven't seen him since His Highness's accident."

After Wen Ying went back, he talked about the matter.

Nan Xi checked Cui Xun's confession again and found him more and more suspicious.

"Master Tang, this Cui Xun is very important. He may know something, and he may even be the murderer." Nan Xi said.Tang Jingjing nodded in agreement: "Captain Zhang, immediately lead people to search for Cui Xun's whereabouts."

"Yes."

Yu Guiyuan also followed. He had just taken office and there were not many people available. His cautious temperament made him prefer to do it himself.

Li Qingmo had someone prepare a late-night snack, and he personally brought it to Nan Xi.

"Are you hungry? First, please rest your stomach to avoid starvation."

Nan Xi was thinking about Wen Ying: "Wen Wen, are you hungry? There is food here."

Before Wen Ying could say anything, Li Qingmo said, "They all have it, outside."

Wen Ying: "..."

Okay, then she won't be an eyesore here.

After she went out, Li Qingmo closed the door, held Nan Xi on his lap, put one hand around her waist, and fed her with the other.

"Eat more and you will lose weight."

Nan Xi was speechless: "It's only been one night, how did you lose weight so quickly?"

Li Qingmo squeezed her waist gently: "It's already thin."

Nan Xi: "..."

The cheeks suddenly warmed up, a blush crept up on the earlobes, and the voice took a few twists and turns, and was extremely soft.

"It's itchy... don't make trouble."

As expected, Li Qingmo stopped making trouble.

If you continue to make trouble, something will happen.

This was a test of his self-control.

At a quarter of the hour, it was already bright and Lan Jue was back.

"Sir, there are only two pharmacies in the city selling saffron recently, and my subordinate has already asked someone to draw a portrait based on the store's description."

Li Qingmo asked him to show the portrait to others.

"Isn't this Cui Xun?"

"It does look a lot like him."

It’s Cui Xun again.

Nan Xi looked at Li Qingmo: "It seems that this person really has a problem."

The news that Cui Xun was the murderer quickly spread among the Bluebird Kingdom mission, and the entire inn was in panic. Even the timid people did not dare to be alone, for fear that Cui Xun would suddenly appear.

But Wen Ying and Zhang Captou searched almost the entire inn and couldn't find any trace of Cui Xun.

"His room was very messy. He seemed to have left in a hurry. He even dropped the jewelry on the ground and didn't have time to pick it up." Wen Ying bent down and picked up a gold ring.

For a waiter, this is definitely very valuable. It is impossible not to pick it up if it is dropped.

Unless there was something more important at the time, it was too late for him.

Tang Jingjing released all the government officials and posted wanted notices for Cui Xun everywhere in the city.

Yu Guiyuan led people to continue searching for traces of Cui Xun along the street.

Nan Xi came to Jingzhi's room.

As the primary suspect, Jingzhi can only stay in the room now.

"What are you doing here?" Jingzhi didn't have any good impressions of the Dongyue people. "What are you trying to say to the regent?"

In her eyes, Nan Xi was just a scheming woman who became the vassal of the Regent of Dongyue through means, just like the charming servants around the Blue Bird Princess.

Nan Xi ignored the contempt and disdain in Jing Zhi's eyes and asked directly: "General Jing, besides you, who else knows that the Crown Princess is pregnant?" (End of Chapter)
