Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Ao Ying was stunned by Du Huaigu's question. He was indignant but had no idea what to do.

He could only sit down on the ground dejectedly, holding his head with his hands, and cried out in pain.

"Your Highness has lived an upright life and has saved us, his subordinates, from danger many times. Who in the entire Eastern Palace has not received His Highness's kindness? But now that His Highness's life is hanging by a thread, can we only watch helplessly and do nothing?"

Du Huaigu looked at Ao Ying's appearance and sighed in his heart. He looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice.

"Now, I can only wait for one person."

Aoying raised his head upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, "Who?"

"Princess."

Aoying got angry when he heard the name Xu Xingyin and couldn't help but complain.

"Mr. Huaigu is still placing his hopes on a woman who has disappeared? The Crown Princess knew that the death of our Highness was within these two days, but she left the capital despite the dissuasion, and now she has not returned yet! It is obvious that she does not care about the life and death of our Highness. She is really cruel!"

As soon as Aoying finished speaking, a tall figure stormed into the inner hall, pointed at Aoying's nose and started cursing.

"Aoying! Our Crown Princess treated you well in the past, but now you are making up stories about her behind her back. You are so shameless! Our Crown Princess works hard day and night for Your Highness. Wasn't it for Your Highness that she left the capital to live in the open air? How could you just casually speculate about such a sincere and heartfelt act!"

It was Dan Feng, the little maid from the common people who had never followed any rules. She only knew that she would treat well whoever treated her well!

Aoying was not willing to give in either, and started arguing with Danfeng without giving in at all.

Well, now the East Palace is going to be lively.

Even more lively than the East Palace is the Fengyi Palace.

Inside Fengyi Palace, the leader of the Jinyiwei was under the negative pressure from the emperor and the empress. He secretly groaned in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and report the truth.

"Your Majesty, nothing unusual has been found in Fengyi Palace."

As soon as the Jinyiwei finished speaking, Emperor Yanning was so angry that he sneered repeatedly.

Xiao Lu secretly glanced at Nanny Qian who was standing in the corner. Seeing her gently shaking her head, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Jing Zhichen's poison has already penetrated deep into his lungs, and today I took the opportunity to add some more poison. Why hasn't he died yet?

As long as Jing Zhichen didn't die, she could only continue to pester Emperor Yan Ning. She couldn't let Emperor Yan Ning go back and ruin her plan!

Little Lu cursed in her heart, "This evil will last for thousands of years," and then she began to cry with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty! Please investigate this matter thoroughly. I know that the reason why Your Majesty came to investigate Fengyi Palace today must be because of the instigation of the traitor! Fortunately, I have not made any mistakes, so I can barely keep my innocent reputation. But Your Majesty, if you don't find out who is playing tricks behind the scenes and the source of those rumors, the six palaces will never be at peace!"

Emperor Yan Ning has no time to investigate any rumors now. All he has on his mind right now is Jing Zhichen!

However, this empty-handed return was indeed a bit embarrassing. The power behind the Xiao Lu Mansion was now becoming more and more powerful, making it difficult for him to deal with it casually.

"I have indeed not thought this through, Queen, rest assured, I will give you an explanation."

Thinking of this, Emperor Yan Ning had no choice but to soften his tone and said these words of comfort, then changed the subject and was about to leave.

"After all the fuss, the Queen is tired, so take a rest first. I will come to see you another day."

Seeing that Emperor Yanning was about to leave, Empress Lu was unwilling to give up and immediately gave a look to Madam Qian, with whom she had exchanged glances before.

Nanny Qian understood immediately, and walked up to Emperor Yan Ning, knelt down, and said with an indignant look on her face.

"Your Majesty, please understand clearly that what happened today was definitely not accidental. It must have been caused by someone's malicious instigation! I, the old servant, dare to ask Your Majesty to punish this villain, otherwise, wouldn't it chill the heart of our Queen?"

As Nanny Qian spoke, she glanced secretly at Cui Detao before continuing.

"I heard that this matter was originally investigated by Eunuch Cui. Our Queen is virtuous and has always treated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as her own son. He is the treasure of her love! Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been poisoned, our Queen is worried and can't sleep at night! I never thought that the East Palace would not appreciate it, and even wrongly accuse our Queen of ordering the poisoning! If it is not clear today, there may be other charges in the future! May I ask Eunuch Cui, I wonder if today's matter was the East Palace's intention, or Eunuch Cui's own intention!"

Xiao Lu also pretended to be aggrieved and pressed his eyes, taking the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty, although I am not the Crown Prince's biological mother, I have always treated him well! But now the gossip has spread like this, and I feel very wronged. Of course, I believe that the Crown Prince is not such an unfaithful and unfilial person. Today's incident is most likely that Eunuch Cui was instructed by others to destroy the peace of our royal family! Your Majesty, it's okay for me to suffer some grievances, but Eunuch Cui is the Crown Prince's close attendant. If you continue to let him go like this, he may come up with some means of sowing discord in the future! Please punish him severely for the safety of the Crown Prince!"

Emperor Yanning felt extremely annoyed when he heard Empress Lu and Nanny Qian singing the same tune.

Cui Detao only has the best interests of the Eastern Palace in mind, how could Emperor Yan Ning not know that?

But today, Empress Xiao Lu has caught them with something wrong, and there are important officials in the court watching outside. If they really let it go, once the news gets out, there is no guarantee that Jing Zhichen will be implicated.

After all... Cui Detao is a close attendant of Crown Prince Jing Zhichen. If something happens to the people in the Eastern Palace, how can Jing Zhichen, as the master, stay out of it?

Even if the cause cannot be found out, it will certainly damage the prince's dignity.

It doesn't fit either way.

This matter can be big or small. While there is still room for maneuver, sacrificing the small to protect the big and not implicate the master of the East Palace is the best solution at the moment.

Therefore, Emperor Yan Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at Cui Detao in a deep voice.

"Cui Detao, how do you explain this?"

When Emperor Yanning asked this, Cui Detao immediately understood.

Empress Lu had finally managed to catch the evidence, so naturally she would not give up until she had taken a piece of the Eastern Palace's flesh.

Therefore, Emperor Yan Ning hoped to admit his mistakes and save the Eastern Palace.

This approach, apart from being somewhat inhumane to Cui Detao, can be said to be the best solution.

Thinking of this, Cui Detao gritted his teeth and immediately bowed his head.

"Today's incident was indeed due to my lack of consideration. I felt that the death of the maid in Fengyi Palace was really strange, so I handled it improperly and offended the Queen. I hope the Queen will forgive me. This old servant is willing to take all the blame, but this matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please understand, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Detao kowtowed deeply to show his determination.

Empress Lu was secretly proud of herself, but she frowned in embarrassment.
