When the princess spoke, how could Yin Zhong Shiming of Shuntian Prefecture not obey?

This case is not so much that he is the chief judge, but rather that he is a footman. He investigates wherever the princess points out. It is not worthwhile to offend the princess for the Xu family's case.

So he immediately sent someone to check where Xu Zhilan and the cook lived.

Xu Zhilan straightened her back, as if she had done nothing wrong and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on her door.

On the other hand, the cook looked a little panicked. She was kneeling there, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, looking very uneasy.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu relaxed a lot. Although Xu Zhilan was not very smart, he was not a fool. He would not put evidence in such a conspicuous place in his residence.

Therefore, Princess Yuanjia's move is destined to be useless.

Fortunately, the princess is young and doesn't have much to do. If she were named Zhong Shi, she might not be able to fool her so easily.

She was secretly thankful in her heart and glanced at Gu Deyin, who was still lying on the bed and had not yet woken up. There was a hint of complacency in her eyes. Even if she had the princess' support, so what?

After all, he couldn't beat her.

When the guests saw this progress, they did not dare to discuss it loudly due to Xiao Mingzhang's cold aura, but they still took the opportunity to whisper to each other and discuss a few words in a low voice.

Princess Yuanjia looked at the imperial doctor and asked anxiously: "When will Sister Gu wake up?"

When Xiao Mingzhang saw his sister asking this question, he also looked at the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor suddenly felt a huge pressure rushing over him, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "If Second Grandma Xu wants to wake up, she must know the specific poison she has been poisoned so that I can prepare the antidote."

When Princess Yuanjia heard this, her little face was full of worry. She clutched the hem of her brother's clothes and almost cried.

Xiao Mingzhang saw his sister's sad look and hurriedly comforted him, "He can't detoxify him. Someone can detoxify him. Your sister Gu can't die."

When Princess Yuanjia heard this, she finally secured a dedicated doctor for her brother for Gu Deyin. Now Gu Deyin would definitely not die, so she beamed with joy.

"Thank you, brother."

Seeing the little guy smiling like that, Xiao Mingzhang still didn't understand. This little girl was plotting against him just now.

He pinched her cheek lightly in a funny way, but that was all, if he really cared about her, he would be so angry with himself.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Gu Deyin. This woman was better off in a lively and lively manner. It was rare that she got along with her sister, so she just treated it as a good deed.

Xu Ningyu kept his eyes fixed on Gu Deyin, who was unaware of the situation. Naturally, he did not ignore the glances that Xiao Mingzhang cast at Gu Deyin from time to time. He could not help clenching his fists, feeling furious and helpless in his heart.

Liu Ruohe's eyes followed Xu Ningyu. As she went back and forth, she found that Xu Ningyu was paying more and more attention to Gu Deyin. This was not a good sign.

She frowned and began to make calculations in her mind.

Now that her son's life experience was exposed, she had to make other plans, and she couldn't let Xu Ningyu go. Otherwise, what would she and her son do?

There were a lot of doubts about this matter today. Someone must be plotting behind it, but she didn't even have a clue at the moment. She couldn't help but feel angry and anxious, wishing that Gu Deyin was really dead.

While everyone was having different thoughts, the people who went to search turned around.

One of them held up a bag of medicinal herbs.

"This was found in the cook's residence. After interrogating other people in the kitchen, it was exactly the kind of medicinal materials added to the medicinal diet prepared for Mrs. Xu."

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician immediately stepped forward to examine the medicinal materials.

After a while, he said, "This medicinal material is not poisonous."

When the cook heard this, her body relaxed and she couldn't help but collapse to the ground.

Xu Zhilan glanced at the cook, but she didn't expect that she had hidden so much. It showed that she used sparingly when making medicinal meals, but even so, Gu Deyin still got poisoned in advance.

This was what she was puzzled about.

But this did not prevent her from crying out, "I said I was wronged. There is really nothing wrong with this medicinal material. It is only good for my second cousin's health and has no harm. It shows that I have no intention of murdering my second cousin..." Princess Yuanjia was impatient to hear her cry for injustice, "We will find out if there are any injustices after investigation. Why are you yelling?"

Xu Zhilan had no choice but to shut up aggrievedly, for fear that if she said something wrong, she would anger the noble man in front of her.

At this time, another person came forward with two bags, "These were found at Miss Xu's residence."

The imperial doctor immediately went over to check, and when he saw it, he became uneasy for a moment.

He was surprised at first, and then looked meaningfully at Xu Zhilan, who looked shocked. It was a shame that this girl could think of such a subtle way to harm people. It showed that she had the potential to study medicine, but she just didn't follow the right path.

He first asked the maids Hua Shu and Hua Chao.

"Does Mrs. Xu have a habit of incense like this?"

The two maids came forward to look at it, smell it, and nodded.

Hua Shu even said, "Our grandma has used this kind of incense for many years. Whenever my cousin comes to stay at the Xuanning Marquis Mansion, she will sleep on the same bed as our grandma..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Xu Zhilan with meaningful eyes.

Everyone is accustomed to using incense, and everyone has their own hobbies in this area. Xu Zhilan took advantage of this to plot against Gu Deyin.

This woman has such a poisonous heart.

The imperial doctor also nodded and explained on the spot.

"Then everything is clear. The incense itself is non-toxic, and the medicinal material itself is also non-toxic. However, the two are in conflict with each other. Together, they are a poison that can kill people..."

Everyone took a breath, this method of harming people was too subtle, and it was no wonder that Gu Deyin would fall for it.

What some people even think about is themselves, and they don't know if there is a source of this poison around them. After all, everyone in the big family has someone they can't deal with.

They secretly thought that they would conduct a thorough investigation after returning home after seeing all the excitement.

Princess Yuanjia looked surprised and said, "Can the antidote be prepared?"

The imperial doctor Han smiled and nodded, "I will prepare the antidote right now. After taking the medicine, Mistress Xu will wake up soon."

Princess Yuanjia hurriedly urged the imperial doctor to prepare the medicine first. As for the trial, he was not needed.

Xiao Mingzhang looked at Xu Zhilan who was stunned with a cold expression, "Killing is a serious crime, and this kind of thing will be punished severely according to the laws of this dynasty."

However, Xu Zhilan still looked at the bag of medicinal materials and two coils of incense with wide eyes. These were not her things.

Where did this thing come from?

Her brain couldn't react for a while, and it wasn't until she heard Xiao Mingzhang's cold words that she came back to her senses.

She could no longer calm down and cried out.

"It's not me. I don't know how this thing appeared in my residence. I was wronged..."

Princess Yuanjia said, "According to your statement, you were framed and framed?"

Xu Zhilan nodded crazily, "Exactly, I have never seen these two things..."

"That's easy to handle. Doesn't this bag have the name of the medicine shop on it? Go to the medicine shop and ask, and the truth will be revealed."

Princess Yuanjia's words caused Xu Zhilan to collapse instantly.
