Could it be that the person who poisoned him was Xiaozian? Otherwise, why would "Blooming Flowers" only leave a smell in her house? Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Xiao Zuan.

Xiaozhan, who was usually the most aggressive and aggressive person, could not argue at all at this moment and started crying anxiously.

Ouyang Sheng was very agitated at this time, but he still tried to keep calm so as not to scare Xiao Zuan and make her unable to think of anything.

He asked the maid to pass a handkerchief to Xiao Zuan and said, "I believe that you were not the one who poisoned me. You cannot be the one who murdered the princess."

Seeing that Ouyang Sheng clearly expressed his trust in her, Xiaozhan was grateful and gradually regained his composure.

Only then did Ouyang Sheng ask again: "If you think about it more carefully, is there anything missing?"

Xiao Zhuan thought about it carefully and backwards, shook his head and said, "No more. I have told you all the places I have been and the people I have met in the past three days, and I have not missed anything."

Have you really said everything? So what exactly is the problem? They didn't even spare anyone who had contact with Xiao Zuan at yesterday's wedding banquet, and checked them all. Ouyang Sheng pinched the bridge of his nose and asked, "What about four days ago? Do you still remember what happened four days ago?"

Sometimes people's memories are not very strong, and they may not remember what happened a few days ago, but Xiaozian's daily life trajectory is almost the same, so it is not difficult to remember it. Xiaozian recalled slowly and named several places and people.

Ouyang Sheng immediately ordered people to investigate, but still found nothing.

Just when he was disappointed, Xiaozhan patted his head and asked: "Your Majesty, does it count five or six days ago? I went to Chi Dazhu's house six days ago, and he came to the house to find me the next day."

Five or six days ago? The time is indeed a bit far away from now. But what the heck, I’ll check it out, it won’t be found anywhere else anyway. Ouyang Sheng immediately ordered the guards on the side to check Chi Dazhu's residence.

Xiao Zhuan reminded him: "Your Majesty, this servant did not go to Chi Dazhu's residence across the courtyard of our house, but to his home outside the house."

Although Chi Dazhu has become a slave of the Yingchuan Hou Mansion, he still has the house where he lived before he entered the manor, and he will go back to live there when he is not on duty.

Ouyang Sheng thought for a while, then turned to Tan Shizhao and said, "Let's take the road bug with us and go take a look together. This is probably our last clue."

Tan Shizhao looked at the hourglass in the corner and said, "Hurry up if you want to go. Time is running out."

Ouyang Sheng went to tell Ye Yuxiao and asked Xiao Zuan to lead the way. He and Zhang Chengxuan led others to Chi Dazhu's residence outside the Yingchuan Prince's Mansion.

Chi Dazhu was on duty in Prince Yingchuan's Mansion today. Xiao Zuan originally wanted to call him, but was stopped by Ouyang Sheng. Chi Dazhu was away, so he happened to search his home carefully.

Chi Dazhu's home was not far from Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, and they arrived quickly on horseback.

Ouyang Sheng ordered people to pry open the lock on the door and open all the boxes, cabinets and drawers in the house to make it easier for street bugs to check for viruses.

The bug flew around inside and outside the house, and finally fell back into the small wooden box in Tan Shizhao's hand, where it rested motionless.

Tan Shizhao shook his head at Ouyang Sheng: "There is no poison in this room."

Is there no poison in the house? So the last bit of hope is gone? Ouyang Sheng was extremely disappointed and stayed there for a long time before he said in a muffled voice: "Let's go back and give my wife some medicine."

Tan Shizhao patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be too sad, there will still be children."

Ouyang Sheng forced a smile: "No, it doesn't matter, as long as my wife is fine."

They all said that Ye Yuxiao was already quite old and it was a surprise to be pregnant so quickly. After this pregnancy was aborted, she would have to rest for a year no matter what. After one year, it was really hard to say whether she would still be able to get pregnant at her age. But he was mentally prepared and would never put pressure on her because of this.

Tan Shizhao patted his shoulder again, went out with him, mounted his horse and returned to Yingchuan Hou Mansion.

Halfway through an alley, Tan Shizhao suddenly reined in his horse and said, "Stop."

"What?" Ouyang Sheng stopped and asked him.

Tan Shizhao took out the small wooden box from his arms, pressed the switch, and opened the lid.

The golden road bug quickly jumped out of the box and flew to a girl on the roadside, flapping its wings and buzzing.

Why did the road bug react like this? Could it be that this girl carries "flowers like brocade" with her? ? Ouyang Sheng quickly dismounted and went straight to the girl.

Tan Shizhao followed closely behind, got closer to the girl, and kept smelling her.

The girl thought she had met a rogue, and was so frightened that her face turned pale and her legs became weak.

Tan Shizhao was wary of her escaping. He first asked his guards to surround her, and then asked, "What's your name?"

"Wang, Wang Erniu." The girl replied tremblingly.

"Wang Erniu, did you put rouge on your face?" Tan Shizhao asked again.

When Wang Erniu heard this, she looked panicked, turned around and ran away.

But the guards were surrounding her. Wherever she could escape, she was immediately lifted up and slipped back.

Tan Shizhao just asked Yanzhi, why is she running so hard? Could this Rouge be a ghost? Ouyang Sheng's face darkened: "Hand over the rouge you put on!"

Wang Erniu waved her hands repeatedly: "I didn't steal the rouge, I picked it up on the roadside. I'm not a thief, so don't arrest me!"

"Hand over Yanzhi, and we won't arrest you." Ouyang Sheng said.

Wang Erniu hesitantly took out a box of rouge from her arms and handed it to Ouyang Sheng.

Xiaozhan poked his head and said "Huh".

Ouyang Sheng turned to look at her: "Why, do you recognize this Rouge?"

Xiao Zhuan said: "Six days ago, the slave went to Chi Dazhu's house to see him. He gave the slave a box of rouge, which was exactly the same as this one. The next day he went to the house to find the slave and said that a box would be better. Yes, just leave me the new rouge and take the box in front of you."

Ouyang Sheng frowned and asked Wang Erniu again: "Then how did you get this box of rouge?"

Wang Erniu shivered and said: "A few days ago, a man passed by this alley and threw away a box of rouge. I picked it up and saw that the rouge was almost new. I couldn't bear to throw it away again, so I just kept it. used."

"How many days ago?" Ouyang Sheng asked.

Wang Erniu thought for a while: "Five days ago."

"That was the day when Chi Dazhu asked Xiao Zuan to take Yanzhi away." Ouyang Sheng said, and then asked Wang Erniu, "Do you still remember that man's face?"

Wang Erniu recalled: "He is not old and tall. He wears a short shirt and looks pretty good."

"If you saw him again, would you recognize him?" Ouyang Sheng continued to ask.

"It should be okay..." Wang Erniu said.

Ouyang Sheng immediately called a guard and gave a few instructions in a low voice.

The guard turned around and quickly led dozens of men in short shirts to the alley and stood in front of Wang Erniu.

"Who is the man you saw that day? Point it out to me." Ouyang Sheng said to Wang Erniu.
