"I'm telling you, your girl isn't someone you'd be happy with. I don't know why she married you, but it's because you've let her run wild and caused so much trouble."

The third prince picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Chen Zhizhou with some confusion in his eyes.

In his heart, Chen Zhizhou has always been wise and clever, but it seems that once he got involved in Gu Qing's affairs, he became more and more unscrupulous.

He wanted to persuade her, but was interrupted by Mu Zheng beside him.

"I actually think Madam Chen has a very good temperament. She's not like those cunning women in the harem who spend their days plotting and scheming to harm others!"

After saying that, Mu Zheng poked him jokingly with his hand.

"Compared to those superficial beauties in your yard who look like grass and trees, she looks more flesh and blood, wantonly adorable!"

Mu Zheng praised Gu Qing highly.

Hearing his words, not only did Chen Zhizhou frown in displeasure, but even the Third Prince vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Mu Zheng realized it later and hurriedly changed his words to explain.

"Brother Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I... I simply admire your wife. I don't have any other intentions..."

Seeing the anxiety flashing in his eyes, it seemed as if he was making things worse.

"I didn't misunderstand!"

Chen Zhizhou said in a low and cold voice, "I believe in the character of Prince Mu, and I believe even more in my wife's eyes..."

He silently added the second half of the sentence in his mind.

After a short episode, Chen Zhizhou brought the topic back to business, looked at Mu Zheng with a serious face, and took out a handkerchief wrapped in medicine residue from his arms.

"There is something I need to trouble Prince Mu with."

"It's not appropriate for any of us to take action on this matter. Only you can do it. It will not attract attention and will achieve the goal at the same time."

After hearing what he said, Mu Zheng immediately became curious.

"What is it?"

Chen Zhizhou silently lifted the handkerchief and said slowly, "This is the evidence we obtained yesterday."

"Please ask Prince Mu to go to the Dali Temple and give this to Elder Huang. Ask him to recall carefully whether he has prescribed a similar prescription in the past few days. If so, please check if there are any differences in the ingredients, whether any flavors have been added or subtracted. Please explain clearly."

"What if there isn't one?"

Mu Zheng asked.

Chen Zhizhou curled his lips with a faint smile.

"If not, that would be even easier!"

"But why me?"

Mu Zheng's voice was light, and his eyes were always glued to Chen Zhizhou, carefully observing every subtle expression of his.

Chen Zhizhou didn't beat around the bush.

"Of course it's because Lord Zhu, the Minister of Justice, is Marquis Mu's spy in the capital."

As soon as he said this, Mu Zheng's face suddenly changed and his brows furrowed.

My father made this move very deeply!

How did he know?

Unless someone tells him!

Mu Zheng immediately looked at the third prince. The only person in the capital who knew Lord Zhu's identity was his cousin.

"I didn't say that!"

The third prince spread his hands with an innocent look on his face. At the same time, he was not surprised at all that Chen Zhizhou could guess this. Instead, he felt it was natural.

If he can't guess this, then he is not Chen Zhizhou!

"It was indeed not the Third Prince who leaked it, but you, Prince Mu, told me yourself."

Chen Zhizhou echoed.

"Me?"

Mu Zheng looked at him in disbelief, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart.

It must have been leaked by my cousin. I have only met him a few times. Even if he revealed something unintentionally, he would never talk about this matter.

Knowing that he didn't want to believe it, Chen Zhizhou explained, "Do you remember the time we met at the Dali Temple?"

"Logically speaking, even if you are the Prince of Mu and the hereditary Marquis of Mu, Lord Zhu, as the Minister of Justice, should not be so polite to you. You could even say he is respectful and fearful. That is an unconscious behavior, something that comes from his bones."

"Not only him, but you are also not polite at all, as if he was born to be like this."

"At first I didn't know your identity and was simply confused, but when I met you again in the palace and learned your true identity, I instantly understood."

"Master Zhu is Marquis Mu's hidden chess piece in the capital. He can protect your safety when necessary. I also sent servants to investigate. As expected, Master Zhu's hometown is in Huayang."

He is meticulous and considerate, and can unravel so many things based on just one small detail.

Mu Zheng was once again shocked by Chen Zhizhou's scheming, but at the same time he sincerely understood why the third prince valued him so much.

"sharp!"

Mu Zheng raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, using tea instead of wine.

"Cousin, you really have a keen eye for talent. This time I'm truly convinced!"

Chen Zhizhou was not proud either, and still said modestly: "Prince Mu, thank you for your praise. I and my humble wife's affairs still need your help!"

"No problem!"

Mu Zheng agreed, put the spread out medicine residue away again, and after Chen Zhizhou and the third prince left, he immediately rushed to the Dali Temple.

He easily entered the prison and met the imprisoned Mr. Huang.

When Mr. Huang saw that he was here to visit him, he was full of doubts. He stared at him again and again, and recalled carefully, but still could not remember that he had ever interacted with this man.

Mu Zheng could see his confusion, waved his hand to drive away the jailer, took out the medicine residue from his arms, and repeated Chen Zhizhou's words verbatim.

It turned out that it was someone invited by Chen Xiaozi.

Mr. Huang let go of his guard, glanced at the spread-out medicinal residue, fiddled with it a few times with his hands, picked out a representative one, and put it to his nose to smell it.

During the process, Mu Zhengdu didn't speak again, but just stared at him nervously.

I clenched my hands tightly together, and I felt the sweat on my forehead was about to drip down.

After a while, Mr. Huang seemed to have gotten the result and put down the medicine residue.

"how?"

Mu Zheng moved closer and stared at him intently.

Mr. Huang looked heavy-hearted and shook his head.

"It's the prescription I wrote, and the residue in it matches."

"What?"

Mu Zheng was horrified.

Could it be that the couple was right, and it was indeed Mr. Huang’s poor medical skills that killed their child?

…

Chen Mansion.

Nanny Li was efficient and effective. In less than an incense stick of time, she had found out everything, compiled all the prescriptions she had written that day into a book, and handed it to Gu Qing.

"Young Madam, I've inquired, and they haven't kept a register of the patients who have come to see us. However, their prescriptions have been kept. All the prescriptions we've used are here, without a single one missing."

"well done."

Gu Qing praised, his eyes sweeping over the lists.

Yes, the words above are exactly Mr. Huang’s handwriting.

Although it is impossible to tell whether the Cui family has taken the medicine based on the list alone, it can be compared with the medicine residue in their hands.
