The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Meng Wen Yao followed the line of sight and saw a affectionate and cold woman. She knew that this was probably Princess Ge.

She walked forward calmly and bowed to Prince Fenyang: "Your Highness, since the maids said that when they came, the whole yard was dark, then arrest all of them and torture them strictly to find out the murderer behind it."

Prince Fenyang nodded. Although he doted on his concubine, he could not accuse his wife without reason. There had to be evidence for everything.

He raised his hand and was about to give an order when Xie Jinbao suddenly pointed at the table and said, "Father, there seems to be a letter there."

Prince Fenyang turned around and saw a piece of paper lying on the table under the window. He picked it up with trembling hands and began to read it. Soon two lines of tears flowed down his face.

"An'er, he committed suicide."

After saying this, Prince Fenyang covered his face and wiped away his tears, but Concubine Bao didn't believe it. She snatched the letter and read it carefully.

"Impossible, this is impossible, how could An'er commit suicide?"

"When he fell off the horse, he did think about committing suicide, but I have persuaded him to stop. Now he is going to get married and have children. How could he commit suicide? There must be something wrong here."

Everything Concubine Bao said was directed at the princess. She and the princess had been competing for favor for many years. The princess must have hated her two sons. If anything happened to her sons, it would have been the princess who did it. There was no doubt about that.

A month ago, Xie Nanan fell off her horse. Although there was no evidence, she knew that it must have been done by the princess. Prince Fenyang also believed that it was done by the princess, but he did not take any action because he had no evidence.

It was also because Xie Nanan was injured that Prince Fenyang felt very guilty and once admitted in person that he wanted to leave the position of Crown Prince to Concubine Bao's son.

It seems that the princess came up with another plan after her first one failed, so she poisoned Xie Nanan again.

"Your Majesty, this is someone trying to get rid of our An'er again and again, and then making it look like suicide, Your Majesty, please don't be fooled, Your Majesty!"

Prince Fenyang also began to doubt the princess. Although the princess had done everything very cleanly, Xie Nanan's death was only beneficial to the princess. Who else could it be but the princess?

He yelled, "Where are all the servants?"

This is to strictly interrogate the servants and try to find evidence of Xie Nanan's murder.

The princess knew that she was innocent, and why would she kill a useless person? She straightened her back and ordered, "Go, call a team of guards over. No one who served in the eldest master's house tonight can be left out. All of them must be strictly interrogated."

She is upright and has nothing to fear from her own shadow.

But Xie Jinbao was scared to death. He bribed Xie Nanan's personal servant to get everyone in the yard away so that he had the opportunity to poison.

If he were to interrogate him strictly, and the servant couldn't resist and confessed, he wouldn't be able to escape.

He stepped forward and whispered, "Father, Mother, there is a wedding going on in the front hall right now. We are interrogating the servants here now. It will make such a big noise. If someone finds out, it will be a joke."

"Your eldest brother is dead, and you still care whether you are laughed at or not?!" the princess said sarcastically.

"The eldest son has passed away, and the funeral will begin tomorrow. Could it be that the third son still wants to keep it a secret?"

The princess wanted to find out who was behind this more than anyone else. How could she allow someone to get away with it? She wanted to bring everyone in the mansion over for interrogation to clear herself of suspicion.

After being ridiculed by the princess, Xie Jinbao didn't know what to say to stop her. It happened that the emperor had already brought all the servants in the yard over.

Prince Fenyang glared at the group of people and said viciously, "The eldest master is ill. Where have you, his personal servants, gone?"

The first was the personal servant Ma Yang, who said tremblingly, "Your Highness, after the doctor came to give you acupuncture, he said he had a massage technique to teach me and asked me to massage the eldest master in the future. So I went to the doctor and wanted to learn it."

"Today is the eldest son's wedding. You can't learn any other day. Why do you have to go today?" asked Concubine Bao.

"this?"

Ma Yang looked at the dead Xie Nanan and cried, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left the eldest master. It was just that the eldest master insisted that I go there. I thought I would send the doctor back first and come back soon. Who knew something like this would happen?"

"Where are the others?" King Fenyang asked again.

At this time, seven or eight servants answered one by one. Some said they were making medicine, some were checking whether there was any food in the kitchen, and some were trying to find out if there was any movement in the bridal chamber. In short, everyone had something to do without exception.

Ma Yang, who was in charge of managing the entire yard, left the yard early. As a result, there was no one in unified management, which created a loophole where no one was there to serve.

"It seems that the eldest brother wanted to commit suicide, so he sent Ma Yang and the others away early."

Xie Jinbao burst into tears after saying this: "Brother, it's all my fault. If I had come here at that time, this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Why are you so depressed? What would happen to my mother and I if you left?"

The servants' answers, combined with the official investigation, fully proved that no one was lying, which meant that everything pointed to suicide.

Even if Prince Fenyang didn't believe it, he couldn't accuse the princess of being behind it without reason, and he also felt that it was meaningless for the princess to kill a disabled person.

"Third brother, you and the housekeeper go out and see the guests off. You can report your eldest brother's death tomorrow morning."

Xie Jinbao was crying uncontrollably. Hearing this, he wiped his tears and went out with the housekeeper. Before leaving, he promised, "Don't worry, father. I won't let the guests know. I will make sure today's wedding ends perfectly."

Things seemed clear, but how could Concubine Bao believe that her son was gone in the blink of an eye?

She grabbed Prince Fenyang's sleeve and cried, "Your Highness, first he fell off his horse, and now he's been poisoned. It's absolutely impossible to say there's no murderer behind the scenes. Your Highness, you must investigate this thoroughly!"

Being suspected again and again, the princess was not without temper. She sneered and said, "Is Concubine Bao amnesiac? When the second son was still in the mansion, didn't he also fall off a horse and be poisoned? The prince investigated for a long time and said it was an accident. Now the eldest son committed suicide and even wrote a suicide note, but the concubine still doesn't believe it. Why can't this accident happen to the eldest son?"

"Listen, my lord. The princess obviously hates me because of something that happened in the past. That's why she is taking her anger out on the eldest brother. Please have someone investigate what happened to the eldest brother's medicine. Was it poisoned by someone in Jinlan Courtyard?"
