After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

Chapter 331 The thief shouts to catch the thief

"Indeed, this prince met Princess Nan'an and Prince Yu Nan in the Peony Garden."

When Shen Baiwei heard the words "Yu Nan Wang", memories of humiliation swept over her. She bit her lower lip and her voice became mean: "Even if Princess Nan'an has a witness, she can't get rid of the suspicion. After all... the people from Dali Terrace are in my incense box." The oleander powder found on the top of my incense box is the incense box belonging to Princess Nan'an."

Ouyang Yi frowned slightly and looked at Su Qingcheng with complicated eyes: "Come here, bring up the incense boxes for the two of you."

Two exquisite incense boxes were brought up by the officers and soldiers. It can be seen with the naked eye that Shen Baiwei's incense box is hollow-shaped, and it is indeed possible that it penetrated from below.

"Princess Nan'an, what do you have to say?" the fourth prince asked.

"Just now, Miss Shen asked me a few questions. Now it's my turn to ask Miss Shen." Shen Baiwei's eyes flickered, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. She subconsciously glanced at her friend kneeling behind her, and Miss Lin replied. He gave her a reassuring look and she felt relieved.

"Princess Nan'an, may I ask?"

"Do you know what the incense of this princess is?"

Shen Baiwei sneered and said: "The princess has never opened the incense box. Not to mention she is a civilian girl, other people probably don't know either."

"What this princess has brought is the letter from Beiyuan's famous Xiangxue Zhongchun." Su Qingcheng did not leave, her voice was gentle and strong.

"So what? Is the princess still showing off how noble you are and how precious and rare the incense you bring is?" Shen Baiwei mocked, "Even if you brought the ambergris that the king loved, it would probably be the same as today's The poisoning thing has nothing to do with it."

The Letter of Spring in the Snow is a product of Beiyuan, and Beiyuan, as the leader of the Three Kingdoms, has a vast territory and rich resources. Although the Letter of Spring in the Snow is circulated between the two countries, it is expensive and very rare. Even the fourth prince and the eldest princess present had only heard of it but never heard of it.

But when Su Qingcheng said that the incense she was carrying was Chunxin in the snow, the princess who had been worried about her breathed a sigh of relief. If it was Chunxin in the snow, Su Qingcheng's suspicion would be gone in an instant...

"If Miss Shen doesn't know what Spring Letter in the Snow is, I would not mind sending a Baixiang Complete Book to the Shen Mansion." Su Qingcheng smiled and was generous.

Shen Baiwei's face turned red with anger and said: "Are the princess laughing at my ignorance? It's just a scent, no matter how precious it is, I will say it bluntly. The daughter of the people suspects that Princess Nan'an put it on her incense box. The oleander powder fell into my incense box!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the lobby, and Ouyang Yi had to speak out again: "Quiet! Miss Shen's guess is not without evidence... Does Princess Nan'an have anything to refute?"

Su Qingcheng stood up and walked slowly to the officers and soldiers holding the incense box. No panic could be seen on her face: "Snow Chunxin, as the name suggests, is incense that is ground and made in the snow in winter and can only be made in the next spring. , because of its long production cycle, rare raw materials, and complicated technology, it is expensive and scarce.”

"Princess Nan'an! Dali Terrace is not a place for you to show off," Shen Baiwei rolled her eyes unabashedly. There was no trace of the noble lady's reserve and dignity. "You talk so much, are you nervous that I will find you?" crime?"

Su Qingcheng chuckled, which was obviously in contrast to Shen Baiwei's shrewish appearance: "What I want to say is, in addition, Spring Letter in the Snow is extremely difficult to preserve, and a handmade ice-green white jade incense box is needed to preserve its original fragrance. , and this kind of incense box is of fine quality, as slippery as ice springs, let alone oleander powder, even dust cannot stand on it."

Shen Baiwei's face changed slightly, and she said unwillingly: "How is that possible? How do you explain the powder on the top of my incense box? It must be some kind of mechanism at the bottom of the princess' incense box..." Her voice trembled, trying to hide her inner uneasiness.

Su Qingcheng turned the incense box over, and Wu Ya brought a bowl of flour from nowhere. Su Qingcheng grabbed the flour and sprinkled it on the incense box: "The flour is finer than oleander powder, please take a look."

Sure enough, the flour left no trace on the icy green and white jade incense box, and seemed to slide down without stopping like running water.

"Miss Shen, if my princess remembers correctly, the Shen family seems to have always been on the side of the third prince. Why are you interested in attending the third prince's incense tasting party today? Do you have an invitation?"

As soon as Su Qingcheng finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Baiwei. Now that the matter has come to this, the fourth prince has naturally guessed the truth and said coldly: "I remember that I have never sent a message to Miss Shen. In the beginning of spring, Miss Shen is How did you get in?"

"Back to the prince, Miss Shen is here with Miss Lin. One post can bring two people in."

Su Qingcheng chuckled: "It turns out that Miss Shen came in as Miss Lin's maid."

"You..." Shen Baiwei's veins popped out and she said angrily, "I was poisoned! Why are you all talking to her! Is it your royal family who joined forces to bully me, a commoner?"

The eldest princess was about to get angry when Su Qingcheng glanced at her, and she snorted and sat down again.

"Speaking of poisoning, I have something to say. Oleander poisoning can range from nausea and vomiting to severe heart rhythm disorders and death. The guests near the incense burner are all nauseated. Why did Miss Shen vomit blood?"

"That's because... I have a weak constitution." Shen Baiwei hesitated and hesitated.

"I see, except for Miss Shen, the other people who were poisoned were all men. Their physiques are naturally better than Miss Shen," Su Qingcheng said slowly, "Then why is it that Miss Shen, who has a weak constitution, is still standing here alive and kicking after vomiting blood? , and the able-bodied adult man is still resting in bed?"

"Fourth Prince, please be more careful. I think today's poisoning was directed and acted by Miss Shen and she wants to blame it on me." Su Qingcheng raised her hands above her head and said loudly.

"Princess Nan'an! Don't go too far. I'm just...a poor person who wanted to defect to the fourth prince but accidentally fell into the evil man's plan!" Shen Baiwei said heartbreakingly, "Besides, you just rely on Let’s just say I was the one who administered the poison. What if I have a special constitution and my symptoms after poisoning are different from others.”

Ouyang Yi was extremely confused, and now he could naturally see that what Su Qingcheng said was the truth, but there was currently no evidence that it was a play directed and acted by Shen Baiwei.

"I can testify that this poison was administered by Miss Shen and Miss Lin." A masked man came out from behind Ouyang Yi's seat. Su Qingcheng recognized him at a glance. This man was Su Yizhi. "I am the Fourth Prince. A retainer in the mansion accidentally overheard Miss Shen and Miss Lin plotting a poisoning outside the attic."
