The word "poisoning" came out of the imperial doctor's mouth. Even though they had made some guesses before, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. After all, guesses were just guesses. Before being confirmed, they were just excited remarks.

Now that it was confirmed that Gu Deyin was poisoned, everyone looked at the Xu family with contempt. With such a bad family tradition, no one would want to marry them again in the future.

Even the in-laws who were already married were covering their faces at this moment, fearing that the Xu family would be implicated, and they felt more than a hundred regrets. They were really blind before they fell in love with this family.

Mrs. Xu's face was pale, and her philtrum was still bloodshot, which made her look a bit scary.

Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Mu subconsciously stayed away from her. They both ran behind their husbands. They had a new understanding of Mrs. Xu. The poison in Gu Deyin was probably related to her.

When Mrs. Xu saw this, she was filled with hatred, but she didn't dare to do anything on her face. At this moment, she was afraid that she would make many mistakes if she said too much, so she just didn't say anything or do anything, and waited for the development of the situation.

When the two maids, Hua Shu and Hua Chao, heard that their master was really poisoned, they immediately knelt down in tears and begged Princess Yuanjia to seek justice for their master.

Princess Yuanjia motioned to the nun beside her to step forward and help the two girls up, "Don't worry, I will not let go of the murderer of Sister Gu."

Several ladies on the side also spoke up, "Don't worry, with the princess here, Second Mistress Xu will definitely be in good health."

At this moment, Mrs. Xu hurried over.

First, he greeted Princess Yuanjia as a gift, and then said righteously, "If something like this happens to the Xu family, I will never cover it up."

Princess Yuanjia ignored her and first ordered the imperial doctor to treat Gu Deyin with all her strength, making sure to try to get someone to wake up early, and then sent someone to Shuntian Mansion to complain. Of course, she also didn't forget to report her brother Xiao Mingzhang.

This is telling the world that if she can't control this situation, her brother will be there, so no one can act rashly.

Thinking that this matter would alarm the regent, everyone couldn't help but think more about it. Of course, no one was talking nonsense.

However, Mrs. Xu almost fainted again. She never thought that she would alarm the regent. Now there were only two words left in her mind: It's over.

No, she couldn't sit still and wait for death. She was not directly in charge of this matter, so she could blame everything on Xu Zhilan.

No matter what, we must protect the Hou Mansion and ourselves. As for my niece Xu Zhilan, I can only feel sorry.

With this thought, she calmed down again and began to think about her words.

Xiao Mingzhang came very quickly. After all, this matter involved his sister, so he was worried and had to come to defend her in person.

As for Gu Deyin, it was just incidental.

Just seeing the unaware Gu Deyin lying there, his eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently. His face was too thin and pale, and the blood on his clothes was shocking.

This was incomparable with the vivid person in his memory. This lifeless look made people feel unhappy just looking at it.

He looked at Xu Ningyu in the corner as if inadvertently, with a hint of anger in his eyes. This man was becoming more and more despised.

"Brother, you are here."

Princess Yuanjia immediately stood up and ran to her brother, pulling him to Gu Deyin and saying with red eyes.

"Brother, you have to seek justice for Sister Gu. That couple of bastards want to kill her. Sister Gu is so miserable."

Xiao Mingzhang glanced at his sister.

Princess Yuanjia instantly knew that her brother was displeased by the words she just said about "dog men and women," and she immediately shook her brother's hand begging for mercy.

Xiao Mingzhang stopped staring at his sister and wanted to teach her not to rush into this moment.

Yin Zhong Shiming of Shuntian Prefecture arrived shortly after. Seeing Xiao Mingzhang also present, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward to pay tribute to the regent.

"No need to be polite. I called you here to find out the case and bring justice to the victim." Zhong Shiming immediately responded "yes". He was already used to it being the Xu family's case again.

The Xu family has to report to the official every three days, and the whole family is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

After seeing that many of the guests present were unrelated persons, he was about to arrange for these people to leave first so that they would not hinder the investigation.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly rushed out and shouted injustice.

Everyone hurriedly made a way to let this person go to the front.

Zhong Shiming took a closer look and immediately recognized who the person was. She was not the concubine of the Xu family who seemed timid but dared to stab her aunt in the back. What was her name? He thought for a long time before he remembered this person. Call Xu Huiling.

I saw Xu Huiling holding Xu Zhilan with one hand and a servant barging in with the other.

Xu Zhilan struggled endlessly, but when the situation came, the servant did not dare to struggle and allowed Xu Huiling to hold on.

Xu Huiling recognized Princess Yuanjia. After all, she had seen her from a distance the last time she came here. Now she was more determined.

She immediately let go of the two men, then knelt down in tears and said, "Princess Qi, I want to expose that someone is plotting to poison my second sister-in-law."

After hearing this, everyone began to whisper again. Due to Xiao Mingzhang's strong aura, they did not dare to discuss loudly.

"Oh, what do you know? Say it quickly."

Princess Yuanjia urged.

Xiao Mingzhang remained silent, but the more silent he became, the more serious the atmosphere became.

Zhong Shiming did not stop the little princess from speaking, but motioned to the officials around him to write down the witnesses' words.

Xu Huiling pointed at Xu Zhilan and the servant and said, "It was these two who poisoned my second sister-in-law."

Then he pointed out the identities of these two people. One was Xu's niece and the other was the cook in the kitchen. The two people had been conspiring just now.

"Cousin from the Xu family said that the cook added too much poison to the medicated diet that my second sister-in-law made, which caused my second sister-in-law to be poisoned too quickly. She asked the cook to use lighter poisons in the future, preferably The phenomenon that caused my second sister-in-law to fall ill and die..."

Xu Zhilan hurriedly knelt down and complained, "This is the concubine of the Xu family. She is dissatisfied with my aunt as her legitimate mother, so she fabricated these words..."

The cook was so frightened that she lost her mind. In front of so many noble people, her mentality collapsed. She immediately admitted that the medicinal diet she made for Gu Deyin did contain other medicinal materials, and these medicinal materials were given to her by Xu Zhilan.

"My cousin said that this medicine only makes the food taste better. I didn't know that it was poison. It's unfair..."

Xu Zhilan hurriedly admitted as if she had just remembered.

"I did give her a medicinal recipe, but it was not to harm anyone, but to help her make a better medicinal diet. I did it out of good intentions, and I definitely didn't mean to murder my second cousin..."

At first glance, this doesn't sound wrong.

Mrs. Xu felt relieved and said quickly.

"My niece has always been kind-hearted. She is kind and gentle to the servants in the palace. She is well-known among the servants. She has absolutely no intention of harming anyone. Please be aware of it, the prince and princess."

Princess Yuanjia said coldly, "Oh, then your niece has no problem, only your son and the eldest daughter-in-law have problems."

Xu was so choked that she couldn't speak. Compared to her son, her niece was nothing.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu remained silent, Princess Yuanjia said to Zhong Shi, "Why don't we search the residence of these two people first and see what we can find?" (End of Chapter)
