The sage, the queen, and the grandfather were all relieved. They were all worried that the assassin's knife was poisonous, which was really fortunate.

The imperial doctor then took the medicine and re-bandaged the second prince.

The queen looked at the grandfather, "This palace is so heavily guarded, how can there be assassins?"

"And why is this assassin still targeting my son?"

Jiang Zhongxing coughed lightly, ignoring the latter question, and only answered the former: "I just thought about it carefully, there are three layers of defense outside this palace, and there are countless secret posts on the periphery, and finally along the wall, there are even a few steps away. Soldiers stand guard."

"There was an assassin inside, and there was no movement outside, which means that nothing abnormal was found outside."

Sheng Shang raised his brows, "You mean?"

Jiang Zhongxing bowed his hands, "I feel that the assassin should be someone in this palace, so as not to disturb the defense forces outside."

The sage narrowed his eyes, "Then it seems that someone has to land on this sachet."

He motioned Jiang Zhongxing to take out the sachet and show it to the queen.

The things that women use, the queen may have seen, but not necessarily.

Jiang Zhongxing handed the sachet to the maid next to the queen. The queen stared at the sachet for a while, then shook her head, "I don't remember where I saw something similar."

At this time, the grandmother beside the queen hesitated.

The grandfather of the country quickly discovered the strangeness of the mammy, "It seems that mama has something to say?"

Mammy looked at Grandpa Guo, with a very hesitant expression on his face.

The hesitation was too obvious, and the sage could see it, frowning, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Mammy knelt down with a plop, and whispered, "Slave, this servant is from an embroidered mother. I like to pay attention to the purses and sachets that people carry. It seems that I have seen Madam Huguo wearing a similar style of purse."

"The slaves remember that it is light blue, and it is also embroidered with a handful of white daisies."

The Holy Queen and Jiang Zhongxing did not expect to hear such an answer.

Jiang Zhongxing asked the second prince, "When the second prince was assassinated, could he possibly tell whether the assassin was a man or a woman?"

At this time, the second prince's arms had been wrapped by the imperial physician, and he was sitting beside the bed. He thought for a while and said, "The assassin is wearing night clothes, and his head is completely wrapped, only one pair of eyes are exposed."

"However, even so, the assassin was tall and broad-shouldered, so he could tell he was a man."

Jiang Zhongxing looked at Xie Heng again. The imperial doctor was showing Xie Heng the injury on his leg. Xie Heng nodded, "Looking at the figure, the assassin should be a man."

"By the way, I also stabbed his shoulder with a sword, on the left shoulder."

Jiang Zhongxing bowed his hands to the Sage and the Empress, "The assassin must be hiding in the palace. I think we need to get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the Sage and the Empress will not sleep well."

"Since Mama said that this sachet is related to the daughter-in-law of the minister, the minister will ask her to come over and ask in front of the saint and the queen."

Having said that, Jiang Zhongxing instructed his personal soldiers to call Madam Huguo.

Gu Yunjiao was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by Yang Ying, and Jiang Youzhi also woke up.

Yang Ying whispered: "The assassin has entered the palace, and the grandfather of the country asked you to come over and question him."

Jiang Youzhi immediately sat up, and Yang Ying said, "It's not you, I want to ask Mrs."

Jiang Youzhi said in surprise: "Ask her?"

Gu Yunjiao was inexplicable, but she got up quickly, picked up a hairpin at random, put on a coat, and walked out with Jiang Youzhi.
