Nothing! Nothing!

This time, it was Mrs. Du's turn to endure other people's strange looks. Her mental state was obviously not good. Her face turned red and she kept shaking her head.

"That's impossible, impossible. None of the balms we have at home have numbers." She really didn't know.

Whether it happened or not is not up to her to decide. It depends on evidence. Mu Wanqing did not make a single word of excuses. Let the facts speak for themselves.

The eunuch reported, "Your Majesty, Miss Du wants to see you."

The emperor raised his head and said, "Announce."

Miss Du walked in without looking around and bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, I greet you."

She tried her best to control her emotions, but was not very successful, and her voice trembled a little.

Looking at her nervous and frightened eyes, the emperor sighed silently in his heart, "Cousin, please stand up."

Second Miss Du stood firm and looked around. Apart from officials, there were palace maids.

She saw two familiar figures in the crowd, Mu Wanqing and Mrs. Du.

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly to her, but Mrs. Du was in a daze the whole time and had no reaction to her daughter's arrival.

The eunuch came over with something in his hand, "Your Majesty, this is the Tiger Balm we brought from the Du family. There are thirty boxes in total, and they haven't been opened yet."

The emperor glanced at the Minister of War, who was wearing gloves and carefully stepped forward to pick up a box to examine it. "This one has a number, 321."

He looked through them one by one, "Your Majesty, these are numbered, and they all start with 3."

This proves that everything Mu Wanqing said was true, clearing her of suspicion.

As a result, Mrs. Du became suspicious and all the problems were focused on her.

"Mrs. Du, please explain to me where did this poisoned Tiger Balm come from?"

Mrs. Du's face turned frighteningly pale, and she looked bewildered. "I don't know, I don't know anything."

No matter how you ask, she always says these few words.

The Minister of War had no choice but to look at the emperor and ask for help. The emperor said indifferently, "Take Madam Du away for questioning. Don't hurt the reputation of the Du family."

There was something hidden in his words. The respectability of the Du family and Mrs. Du's respectability were only one word apart, but they were worlds apart.

"yes."

Madam Du's face changed drastically, "Your Majesty, I am your aunt, you can't let these people humiliate me."

"Take her away." The emperor, for the sake of Du Shaoxuan, gave Madam Du enough face no matter what he thought in his heart. When he rewarded the Du family every few days, he would not leave her out.

But, right now, nothing is more important than the health of the Queen Mother and Du Shuai.

Mrs. Du was dragged away. Miss Du moved her mouth but swallowed the words back.

She was deeply shocked. Her father and the queen mother were poisoned and in coma, and her mother was suspected of poisoning them. How was this possible?

She was very scared and extremely insecure, feeling that all of them were people with ulterior motives and wanted to harm the Du family.

She subconsciously walked to Mu Wanqing's side. Only Mu Wanqing would not harm the Du family.

She asked hesitantly, "Sister Wanqing, is this really my mother? My mother loves my father the most, how could she hurt him?"

She just couldn't accept it. Her head was in a mess and she was extremely panicked. There was only Mu Wanqing around her to talk to.

Mu Wanqing was in no mood to comfort her. The incident happened suddenly and caught everyone off guard.

"I don't know. The most important thing right now is to find the antidote. If anything happens to the Queen Mother and Commander Du, the consequences will be disastrous."

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, "Second sister, you..."

It was rare to see her in such an awkward situation. Miss Du's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling. "Just say what you want to say. We are not outsiders."

"Second sister, only you can do this. You..." Mu Wanqing frowned slightly and gently pressed Miss Du's arm. "Go check your mother's bedroom to see if there are any clues?"

If the government were to investigate, they would confiscate the property and completely destroy the Du family's reputation.

This was not what she wanted to see.

She had promised Du Shaoxuan that she would help him look after the Du family.

The only thing to do now is to get the Du family out of the dirty water and clear them of suspicion.

Even if there is any problem with Mrs. Du, she can still get away with it safely based on the past achievements of the Du father and son.

The key is that the Queen Mother and Du Shuai can wake up safely.

If the Queen Mother is fine, everything will be easy.

However, if anything happens to the Empress Dowager, it will be a thorn in the Emperor's heart, and this will be the biggest crisis for the Du family.

Miss Du's face turned pale, but she was not stupid, and she quickly figured out the key. "Your Majesty, I want to go back to the palace to look for clues. I am young and don't know anything. Please ask Princess Qingping and the imperial physician to help me."

This could only be said by the Du family themselves. The emperor looked at her deeply. This inconspicuous cousin was not so weak. She was worthy of being a member of the Du family.

"Okay, Princess Qingping, Jiang Yunfan, Imperial Physician Qi, Imperial Physician Jiang, you guys come with me."

Jiang Yunfan, the eldest son of Marquis Zhongjing, is also the Left Secretary of the Dali Temple.

Du Mansion

Led by Miss Du Er, the four of them went straight into Lanxinyuan where Madam Du lived, and no one dared to stop them.

Jiang Yunfan and three imperial doctors were brought into the house by Miss Du Er to examine the house, while Mu Wanqing stood in the hall and gathered all the servants of Lanxin Courtyard together.

"Butler, is everyone here?"

The head butler was extremely panicked, holding a roster tremblingly, "Three maids, the second-class maid Chengzi Guozi, and the first-class maid Bingcao have been given leave and left the house."

Mu Wanqing gave the order directly, "Bring them back immediately, and find out what they were doing outside and who they came into contact with."

"Yes." Her subordinate responded.

Mu Wanqing reached out and took the roster. There were thirty servants of all sizes in the yard.

"Who is Madam Du's personal maid? Stand out?"

Three graceful girls came out and bowed, "Bingyu, Bingmei, Bingju greet Princess Qingping."

Mu Wanqing took a look at them several times. They were all beautiful in their own unique ways.

She instructed several of her subordinates, "Each of you will be responsible for six confessions. Start preparing."

"Yes." The subordinates responded in unison, and the Du family became even more uneasy.

Mu Wanqing looked at the servants of the Du family with cold eyes, "You all tell me about Madam Du's movements these days, from when she got up, what she did during the day, who she met, what she ate, until she went to bed, all the details should be clear, starting from today."

Bingyu looked at the officer who was about to record the confession and hesitated for a moment, "This..."

Mu Wanqing said coldly, "This is an imperial decree. If you dare to conceal it, you will be killed without mercy."

Everyone shuddered and their faces turned pale with fear.

Who can tell them what happened? They really don't know.

Mu Wanqing had complete control of the situation. She interrogated the servants separately to prevent them from making false confessions. When all the confessions were compared, many problems would be revealed.

If there was anything wrong with Mrs. Du, it would be difficult to hide it from the eyes of her personal maid.

Everyone was busy, Mu Wanqing was the most idle, she was wandering around in the yard.

The yard is full of exotic flowers and plants, colorful and pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Du usually has nothing to do and cannot go out, so the housekeeping power falls into the hands of her daughter. She can only manage the yard, and her greatest pleasure is to take care of the flowers and plants.

Mu Wanqing was strolling casually. She paused and reached out to a purple flower. A voice suddenly rang out, "Don't touch it. This is Madam Du's favorite flower. No one is allowed to pick it."

It was the gardener, he appeared out of nowhere.

Mu Wanqing's eyes flashed with a faint cold light, "What kind of flower is this?"

The gardener looked at it eagerly, wanting to stop it but not daring to, "This is the Amiro flower, it can relieve pain and remove facial acne, and it can be used for medical purposes."

"Amilo?" Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows and sneered.

A voice sounded, "Is there something wrong with this flower?"

It was Jiang Yunfan. He found nothing in the room and was planning to move to another place to continue investigating.

Mu Wanqing frowned, "This flower is called Datura. It is beautiful, but it is poisonous. After taking it, you will enter a beautiful fantasy, become emotionally excited, and unable to extricate yourself. If you take it for a long time, you will become addicted, and you will become thinner and thinner until you die."

Jiang Yunfan's face changed drastically. "You mean, it's addictive? What if I stop taking the medicine?"

He is very good at grasping the key points.

Mu Wanqing had a complicated look on her face. She didn't expect to see this flower in the Du Mansion. "I can't live or die. I am willing to be a slave and sell my children."

Just a few short words made Jiang Yunfan's face fall inch by inch.

It would be a disaster if this thing fell into the hands of conspirators.

He kicked the gardener and shouted coldly, "Tell me, how long have you been growing these flowers?"

The gardener was kicked to the ground, sweating with fear, "I know nothing. These flowers were planted after the Madam moved in. I usually plant them according to her instructions."

Miss Du Er heard the noise and ran over. She just happened to hear these words and her heart was lifted. "Wait a minute, what are the symptoms of poisoning?"

Mu Wanqing rubbed her brows and said, "Sometimes I feel excited, sometimes I feel depressed, and sometimes I feel irritable and restless."

The Du family produced a King of Xiliang, a duke, and was also the empress dowager's family. Their influence was unmatched.

However, behind the prosperous scene, there are huge hidden dangers, and I wonder how many people are eyeing them.

Unfortunately, Coach Du is not in good health, and Mrs. Du... needs to take some brain-dead pills.

Miss Du Er has never experienced any complicated conspiracies and has a simple mind.

All the color drained out of her face. "My mother seems to have... this symptom."

Jiang Yunfan: ...

A servant ran in from outside and reported loudly, "Princess, Lord Jiang, Bingcao is dead."

Bingcao is the personal maid who is out of the house on leave today.

"What?" Miss Du was shocked. "Dead? How could he die?"

Mu Wanqing and Jiang Yunfan looked at each other, not very surprised.

Well, things are getting more and more complicated.

This is a plan within a plan, one thing within another, with many clues laid out, and it has been planned for a long time.

The goal is to catch the Du family and Mu Wanqing in one fell swoop.

The plan was very careful, but it went wrong when I met Mu Wanqing. The elixir actually had a number! She also knew about the strange flower called Datura!

Mu Wanqing raised her lips with a cold arc, "Let me guess what will happen next. I suddenly found out that Bingcao was bribed by me, and Bingcao replaced the poisoned Tiger Balm with poison. Bingcao committed suicide out of guilt. This step only requires a suicide note."

The officer stared at her blankly and said weakly, "Well... Bingcao left a suicide note."

Mu Wanqing took it and looked at it, then immediately laughed and handed it to Jiang Yunfan.

Jiang Yunfan glanced and read out in front of everyone, "I apologize to the master and the lady, but I was forced by Princess Qingping. If I don't listen to her, my family's lives will be in danger. Filial piety comes first among all virtues, so I can only apologize to the master..."

Everyone: ...This is embarrassing.

Without Mu Wanqing’s previous words as a basis, everyone would still be skeptical.

But, at this moment, he only had one thought, that is, this IQ would crush his opponent again and again.
