After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"Yeah." Gu Jingheng responded in a calm voice, lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

Nan Yuan hurriedly caught up and had a smooth journey, except that when they were approaching the eldest princess' bedroom, there were a lot more maids coming and going.

Nan Yuan suddenly felt a little worried. When she was on the pleasure boat, she had once implicated the eldest princess because of a personal grudge, and the eldest princess was already injured at that time. This time, because of her father, the eldest princess's health was damaged again.

Nan Yuan couldn't help but slow down her pace.

Gu Jingheng noticed her hesitation. He turned his head and glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Um..." Nan Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "How is Her Royal Highness the Princess now?"

Gu Jingheng raised his eyebrows: "I came in with you, you ask me?"

"I..." Nan Yuan felt mixed emotions. She licked her lips and finally stopped the topic.

Nan Yuan, Nan Yuan, are you stupid or crazy? Why did you think of asking Gu Jingheng? Not to mention that he doesn't know now, even if he knew, he would definitely not help you.

It was like this in the previous life, and this life will definitely not be an exception.

Gu Jingheng narrowed his eyes, knowing that Nan Yuan was nervous, and said: "The first step in investigating the truth is to ask questions, ask the victim, ask the suspect, then you can roughly know what happened and make your own judgment.

Now, you don't even dare to take the first step, and you still want to clear your father's name?"

"Come on, tell me why you dare not meet the victim?" Gu Jingheng hooked Nan Yuan's chin and forced her to look at him.

Nan Yuan was already panicking, and now being teased by Gu Jingheng in front of so many people, shame instantly filled her whole body.

"Your Highness!" Nan Yuan lowered her voice and slapped his hand away.

Gu Jingheng was not angry, and smiled and said, "Use your temper towards me towards my sister. What can't you ask her?"

After saying that, Gu Jingheng stopped teasing Nan Yuan and walked inside.

Nan Yuan pondered for a moment, but still followed him. As she walked, she thought to herself, when her father was taking the eldest princess' pulse, according to the rules, he needed to tie a silk thread around the princess' wrist and take her pulse through a screen.

With such a long distance and such a short time to diagnose the princess's pulse, if the princess's abdominal pain was caused by musk hidden in her father's medicine box or on his body, the smell of musk must be extremely strong.

My father has been a doctor for decades, so he should be able to smell it.

To take a step back, even if the princess was in poor health, the amount of musk was small enough to cause her to have an adverse reaction, but she would not start to have abdominal pain when her pulse was taken.

Could it be that the grown-up princess is pretending to be sick?

But there is no reason for the princess to joke about the baby in her belly!

Nan Yuan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

"Your Highness." A maid hurried over, "You are here, the princess is waiting for you."

Gu Jingheng nodded and looked back at Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan followed immediately.

After pulling aside the layers of curtains, Nan Yuan saw the eldest princess lying on the couch with a pale face.

The eldest princess had already taken off her gorgeous clothes. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were bloodless, and there was a dark circle under her eyelids. She looked haggard and lifeless, as if she had experienced a long period of torture.

Nan Yuan couldn't help feeling sad.

It was obvious from her appearance that she had just survived a near-death experience. Nan Yuan secretly cursed herself for still suspecting that the princess was pretending to be sick. She was such a mean person!

"Jingheng, you're here." The eldest princess seemed to sense someone coming and forced herself to open her eyes.

Gu Jingheng responded calmly, "Sister, you can rest assured and recover. I will not let the real culprit behind this go."

"Nan Yuan, why don't you take the princess' pulse?" Gu Jingheng winked at Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan understood immediately. Symptoms of illness can be disguised, but the pulse cannot be deceived. Whether the problem lies with the princess or not can be known by taking her pulse.

"Yes." Nan Yuan walked forward and took the eldest princess' pulse.

The princess pulled the corner of her mouth bitterly and looked at Nan Yuan again: "You are here for your father's matter, right? Ask whatever you want to ask. I don't believe it was your father who did it. If I can help you in any way, that would be the best."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess." Hearing the princess say this, Nan Yuan felt even more uncomfortable, but she still had to take the pulse. After all, her father's charges were still waiting for her to clear him, and all the relevant personnel had to be checked one by one.

After taking the princess' pulse for just a few moments, Nan Yuan knew that she was indeed showing signs of miscarriage, but because it was discovered in time, the fetus in her belly was not in danger.

Nan Yuan put away the pulse pillow, put the princess's hand back, and asked, "Your Highness, I dare to ask where the maid who served you that day is?"

The problem does not lie with the princess, but the entire princess's mansion cannot be ruled out as a suspect.

The eldest princess raised her hand and called the head aunt over, saying, "Bring out all the maids who were present that day for Xiao Yuan'er to see."

"Yes, Your Highness." The aunt in charge took the order and left.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Nan Yuan was about to leave when she heard the eldest princess calling her again.

"Xiao Yuan'er, it's getting late today. If you can't finish the investigation, you can stay here. You don't have to make another trip tomorrow.

If the person who drugged me is really from my palace, I hope you can find him out as soon as possible, otherwise I and the fetus in my belly will not be able to sleep peacefully all the time."

Nan Yuan nodded, bowed, and left.

Only Gu Jingheng and the eldest princess were left in the palace.

"You didn't come to see me even when such a big thing happened to me, but you run around to help the girl when she has something wrong. It's true..." The eldest princess couldn't help but shook her head.

Gu Jingheng sat aside and said with a smile: "I am here to see my sister. Not only am I here, I also brought 20 secret guards to protect my sister.

We should always judge by actions rather than the heart. No one is perfect by the heart. Sister, don't be too serious about life.

It’s getting late today, and my Prince’s Mansion is too far from here, so I’ll trouble you to prepare a seat for me.”

Gu Jingheng said this and stood up.

The princess looked at Gu Jingheng for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "You are... really interesting, but since you want to stay the night, then you can stay the night."

"Thank you, sis."

Gu Jingheng achieved his goal, turned around and left.

Nan Yuan checked the maids who were present that day one by one, but found nothing until late at night.

"It's late, it's time to rest." Gu Jingheng suddenly said.

Nan Yuan was looking through the confessions of the maids, frowning, and said casually: "If you are tired, go to sleep. I will check it again. Anyway, I can't sleep now."

Gu Jingheng walked in front of Nan Yuan, his figure falling on top of Nan Yuan's head, blocking the light from Nan Yuan reading the documents.

Nan Yuan raised her head and looked at Gu Jingheng: "What are you doing?"

Gu Jingheng didn't say anything and just blew out the candle.
