Soon, Mingyuexuan's huge boudoir was filled with servants, and a corpse was lying on the floor in the middle.

All the servants trembled with fear at the scene in front of them.

"You have seen it too. This is the fate of those who plotted to murder the princess." Rong Dexin said coldly, "Tell me the truth from now on. If you dare to lie or conceal anything, you will end up like this person!"

Everyone trembled even more violently after hearing this, and some were so scared that their legs went weak and they fell to their knees.

Immediately afterwards, cries of injustice filled the entire room.

"My Lord, we are wronged!"

"Yes, my Lord, I would not dare to do that even if I had a hundred courages!"

After listening to this for a while, Rong Sheng felt really upset.

"boom!"

She picked up another teacup and smashed it hard on the floor.

The room suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at Rong Sheng.

Liu Ling secretly lowered her head to look at the tea table, thinking that there were three teacups in total, and the princess had already smashed two of them. When did the princess become so strong?

Before Rong Dexin could ask any more questions, Rong Sheng spoke first, "Words are not enough. The Crane Orchid Poison must be stored at a temperature above body temperature to be most potent. If this person wants to lurk in my Mingyue Pavilion and poison me for a long time, he must keep the poison close to his body."

This time, Rong Dexin decisively chose to believe Rong Sheng, and immediately ordered his followers to search everyone one by one, from head to toe, inside and outside, even checking the gaps between their teeth.

After a while, nothing was found.

How could there not be one? Rong Sheng was thinking about it, and suddenly something came to his mind.

At this time, Rong Dexin became a little impatient and said, "Sheng'er, why don't you let your father whip them a few times? Most people can't withstand my whip for long. I don't believe that person won't confess."

"Don't bother with that, father," Rong Sheng said with a gleam in his eyes, "Maybe one of them is missing."

Rong Sheng was confused by the noise of the servants just now, and then he remembered that since Lu was able to come here at the first time, it meant that there must be someone here who leaked the information.

This person is most likely the one who poisoned the person. Once he finds out that his crime has been exposed, he will definitely take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Thinking of this, Rong Sheng picked up a piece of ceramic fragment lightly, played with it in his hand, and glanced at the servants.

"Now tell me who is missing among you. If you are lying, I don't mind killing another one!" Rong Sheng said with a stern expression.

Everyone looked at Rong Sheng's cold face, and then looked at Doctor Xue lying on the ground.

They couldn't help but chatter with fear. Although they didn't understand why the princess seemed like a different person, the living example was right in front of them and no one wanted to die.

At this time, the maid Hong Juan timidly said, "Reply, reply to the Marquis and Princess, Cuizhu who lives with me always runs away from time to time, and I don't know where she is now."

After hearing this, Rong Sheng frowned. It had been at least half an hour since he called the servants over.

Who knows how far this maid has already escaped.

At this moment, a guard from the Marquis's mansion came in and reported to the Marquis: "My Lord, I found a female corpse in the pond in the front yard."

Rong Dexin was completely shocked after hearing this, and thought to himself, could there be some evil spirit befalling the Marquis' Mansion today? Why are people dying one after another?

Rong Sheng secretly sighed in his heart that his opponent was really stupid. He was just worrying about where to find Cuizhu, and now she was delivered to his doorstep.

Thinking of this, she said to Rong Dexin anxiously, "Father, we are looking for the person who poisoned us, and someone has died over there. I always feel that it is not as simple as drowning. Do you want to investigate the dead person as well?"

Rong Dexin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and felt that what Rong Sheng said made sense.

"Sheng'er is still smart." Rong Sheng nodded, and then ordered the guards, "Bring the female corpse here, I want to check it myself!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

In the blink of an eye, the female corpse was carried to the door of the boudoir.

Hong Juan took a closer look and said in surprise, "My Lord and Princess, this person is Cui Zhu!"

The Marquis hurried forward and ordered a thorough body search, but nothing resembling poison was found.

He wondered if he really died by accident and drowning?

Then they prepared to have the body carried away.

Rong Sheng suddenly spoke up to stop him: "Wait a minute!"

As she spoke, she jumped up from the bed. Liu Ling was about to reach out to help out of habit, but Rong Sheng moved too fast and came to the body at great speed.

Liu Ling was even more surprised when she saw this. Is this definitely my princess? Not only can she smash teacups with her bare hands, she can also kill people. Now she doesn’t need anyone’s support to walk!

Rong Sheng lowered his head and carefully examined the head and neck of the corpse. There were no fatal injuries on the head and no marks of strangulation on the neck.

Did he really just drown?

Rong Sheng suddenly remembered his previous life. When he had just started learning martial arts, his master, General Wei Xun, took him to experience the killing mission of a secret guard.

At that time, the master effortlessly inserted several poison needles into the acupuncture points on the back of the target's neck, and the target fell to the ground and died silently.

But later on, I got used to fighting in the army all the time, and I forgot about my master's assassination trick.

Retracting his thoughts, Rong Sheng hurriedly began to explore the skin of the corpse's head and neck with his hands.

Just when she touched the Dazhui point three inches above, she found that there was indeed a foreign object under the skin. Could it be that she was right?

Thinking in his mind, he exerted force with his palm, and the three silver needles were forced out instantly.

Then she took the needles in her hand and looked at them.

Is it...embroidery needle?

Rong Sheng presented the needles to Rong Dexin and said firmly, "Father, I think the cause of death is these embroidery needles."

Rong Dexin had just watched Rong Sheng perform a series of smooth movements, and then pull out the silver needle from the corpse like a magic trick. He was so surprised that he didn't know what to say. He hadn't visited her for a year. What on earth had she experienced that she had changed so much?

"Strange," Rong Dexin came back to his senses and asked with doubts, "How did Sheng'er know all this?"

Rong Sheng's expression froze for a moment, and then he said, "My daughter has been ill for a long time and has no intention of learning these things. It was all thanks to the guidance and teaching of the great monk in the dream. I didn't expect that it would be really useful."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Rong Dexin's still half-believing and half-doubting expression, and quickly changed the subject, "Father, the most urgent thing is to find the owner of these embroidery needles. Maybe this person is the real murderer!"

When Rong Dexin heard this, he thought it made sense and immediately put away his doubts and took the embroidery needle from Rong Sheng.

He was about to order the guards to investigate the origin of the embroidery needle.

At this time, Liu Ling whispered something into Rong Sheng's ear.

Rong Sheng suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Father, wait a minute." Rong Sheng stopped Rong Dexin and said, "This kind of embroidery needle is usually used by people who are good at needlework. The material looks very strong and the style is unique. It doesn't look like it's used by servants."

"Oh?" Rong Dexin seemed to be enlightened.

After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "I remember that Wan'er in the Marquis's Mansion is the best at needlework, and she likes to collect all kinds of needles."

Rong Sheng pursed his lips. Rong Dexin currently had three daughters, including the original owner. Rong Jin and Rong Wan were both born to the second wife, Lu. The only legitimate son died five years ago when he was born because of his weak body.

Just now, Liu Ling told herself that the shape of this needle was special and she had only seen it in Rong Wan's Qingyingxuan.

Rong Wan......

Rong Sheng suddenly felt that there might be other hidden reasons behind the death of the original owner's biological mother five years ago.

And the original owner's younger brother who died young, the only legitimate son of the Marquis's Mansion, did not necessarily die due to weakness at birth.

The original owner was poisoned to death.

Now that I have been reborn as a human being because my original owner was killed, I can no longer let myself be slaughtered by others without knowing what is happening.

To seek revenge,

We must first solve the current troubles.

These people who want to kill themselves,

Blood debt must be repaid with blood!

Rong Sheng withdrew his thoughts and saw Rong Dexin nodding in thought.

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and called the guards over and said, "Go to Qingying Pavilion and summon Miss Three! This Marquis wants to ask her in person!"
