Ling Qianyi can't stop talking to Yun Ying every three sentences now. Everyone is used to it and rolls their eyes, not wanting to talk to him. If they do, Ling Qianyi will get excited and can talk for half an hour.

Ignore the young marquis.

During the mansion-wide search, every corner of the mansion, everyone's room, cabinets, kitchen, side rooms, storerooms... even the brothels were dug out.

The old housekeeper reported the results:

"Your Highness, we have searched everywhere in the mansion and found nothing suspicious."

Zong Zhengchen was furious, "What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

The palace was strictly guarded, with guards on duty in the open and secret guards on duty in secret. It was impossible for a stranger to enter, and the murderer who smeared the grease could only be someone from the palace.

Isn't it easy to find the murderer among a group of people?

"I haven't punished you for your negligence in protecting the princess yet. Now I can't even find a single person. What's the point of me keeping you?"

"Your Highness, please calm down!" The old butler was so frightened that he knelt down quickly.

The other servants also knelt down in panic, not daring to say anything.

"Your Majesty, I am useless. I will go check it again right now!"

He took his men and hurried to search again.

"It's useless!" Zong Zhengchen scolded.

Qin Ye took hold of his sleeve and pulled it gently. She was well aware of the old housekeeper's ability to do things. If he didn't find it, he would get the same result if he looked for it again.

Suddenly, she suddenly remembered the maid named Xiaowu who had just left.

Suddenly speaking:

"Someone come!"

"Bring Xiaowu back!"

Han Feng went out, investigated Xiaowu's address, used his Qinggong skills, set off quickly, and brought Xiaowu back when he was about to leave the city.

Back in the palace, Xiao Wu's face turned pale, and he kept tightening and loosening his hands on the bundle...

A state of guilty conscience.

She knelt down and asked in a hollow voice, "Why did the princess ask me to come back?"

Qin Ye held his belly, walked up to her, looked at her kneeling on the ground, and asked:

"Don't you know what happened in the mansion?"

"I..." Her eyes flickered, and she quickly lowered her head. "I know that the steps were greased with lubricant, but I didn't know about it..."

"oh."

Qin Ye just thought about it.

After a thorough investigation of the entire mansion, no suspect was found, so Xiaowu, the only person who left the mansion, became a suspect.

She had been planning to go to the study to find Zong Zhengchen because she heard Xiao Wu and Qing Lian arguing, so she walked into the garden and stepped on the tampered step.

When the two are combined, Xiaowu becomes even more suspicious.

Qin Ye looked at Xiao Wu, who was carrying his bag and holding the belt tightly with both hands, and asked:

"What's in your bag? Why are you holding it so tightly?"

"ah?!"

Xiao Wu was startled and subconsciously let go of his hand. "No, nothing... I just rushed home to see my mother. I brought some medicine and food, as well as two sets of clothes..."

"Open it and take a look."

Xiao Wu was startled and said hurriedly, "Princess, the bag contains all my personal belongings, which are dirty and messy. I am afraid it will pollute your eyes."

Ling Qianyi frowned and discovered a clue.

If you are hesitant, there must be something wrong.

He immediately strode forward and stretched out his hand to grab:

"Bring it here!"

Just grab it.

He swung his hands and shook the bag open. Before Xiaowu could stop him, everything in the bag fell out.

Medicine bag, clothes, change, cakes, comb, and a small dark brown ceramic jar.

Ling Qianyi picked up the jar, opened it and smelled it, his voice suddenly became cold and stern:

"Uncle, this is filled with lubricating oil!"

Xiaowu's face turned pale.

Finished...
