"Nie Ying, go out and find out where Master is staying tonight?"
Su Xingyi urgently needs to find out when Emperor Qianyuan knew he was his son. Is his master involved?
He specially arranged for him to pick up and raise all four children. Was it also he who arranged for Xiaoyu to marry him?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nie Ying responded and whispered in his ear, "Your uncle, Crown Prince Yu, is on his way to Beiyi. In a few days, the Emperor of Beiyi will be informed of the Fifth Crown Prince's diplomatic mission to Beiyi."
"Grandfather, do you have any other instructions?"
"The Emperor asked His Royal Highness Crown Prince Yu to cooperate with your actions..."
Su Xingyi asked Zhang's mother for fresh milk, high-quality tea, and seasonal fruits, and made milk tea to bring back to the Jade Courtyard.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Xi'er, the milk tea is ready, come and try it... Princess, since you are here too, it's a good opportunity to try the milk tea I made."
Su Xingyi didn't expect Wanyi to come, so he could only put his cup of milk tea in front of her.
"What kind of tea is this?" It was the first time Xie Wanyi had seen milk tea. It not only had the aroma of tea and milk, but also the taste of orange.
"Aunt Princess, this is tea made from tea leaves and milk. Uncle the eldest prince has tasted the tea made by my father. Try it and see if my father's tea tastes good."
Xie Wanyi saw that there were only three cups of milk tea. It was obvious that she came at the wrong time, so they were all placed in front of her for her to taste. She did not refuse and tasted them generously in front of the family of three.
The moment Xie Wanyi took a sip of the milk tea, her eyes lit up instantly.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips. Xie Wanyi likes to drink it, and most of the noble ladies in the capital must like to drink it too.
The first Yudian Tea House in the capital city needs to be set up quickly.
"Sister Wanyi, do you like to drink?"
"It's delicious, sweet but not greasy..." If Xie Wanyi wasn't concerned about her image, she would have finished it in a few gulps. "This kind of tea hasn't appeared in the capital yet. I guess it must be a new way of enjoying it that the princess has come up with. Now that she's back in the capital, when will she hold a tea party and invite all the ladies to come and taste tea?"
As far as I can remember, the original owner would hold various banquets from time to time, and most of the guests were young ladies from aristocratic families.
Feng Jinyu would appear in every show, and it seemed that Xie Wanyi was also present in every show.
Now that she has become Feng Jinyu's princess, she has finally gotten what she wanted.
"I'm in poor health now, so I might not be able to host a tea party. I'll find an opportunity to invite the ladies of various families to come and have tea. It won't be long before the ladies of the aristocratic families in the capital will be able to taste milk tea..."
Su Xingyi noticed that Xiao Lingyu was a little tired and wanted to send Xie Wanyi away quickly, so he said, "Princess, I'm sure you've interrogated the five suspects. Can you confirm which one is the murderer?"
"I came here to talk about this. Right now, the maid Zhuyue is the most suspicious. She is responsible for adding firewood and water to the kitchen every day. It would be easy for her to find an opportunity to poison the water. The food from that day was locked in the ice cellar. The small kitchen was sealed that day and no one has entered since. I would like to ask my sister, Princess, to check if the water in the water tank has been poisoned. If it has been poisoned, then the person who did it is most likely Zhuyue. When do you decide to go and check it out? I can notify the Queen Mother and the Emperor to go to the small kitchen in Xiaoyun Pavilion together."
What?
Xiao Lingyu was stunned.
Was she supposed to test the water in the tank in public?
She can't do it!
There are no advanced instruments!
"Didn't anyone else behave abnormally that day? What if it wasn't Zhu Yue? She comes into contact with water every day. Wouldn't it be easy for the real poisoner to frame her?"
"This..." Xie Wanyi felt that there was some truth to it, and remembered what Zhu Yue said when she was taken away, "Someone has been arranged to keep the servant who was responsible for fetching water under guard."
"The water carrier's bucket could also have been tampered with by the person who poisoned the water, so as to frame him. It doesn't matter whether the water was poisoned or not. What matters is whether there was anyone behaving abnormally in the small kitchen of Xiaoyun Pavilion that day." Xiao Lingyu could not test for poison in public under any circumstances.
Su Xingyi made Xiao Lingyu feel a little embarrassed. "Princess, I remember you said that Brother Yu vomited blood and fainted during lunch?"
"right!"
"When will the water in Xiaoyun Pavilion's kitchenette be replaced?"
Shaoyao said, "Every morning, when Madam Zhang opens the kitchen, servants carrying water come in one after another and replace the old water with fresh water."
"Then the water in the water tank is safe when you prepare breakfast, otherwise your prince will vomit blood and faint during breakfast!"
Xie Wanyi frowned, "Did the person who poisoned the water tank before making lunch?"
"You can put it this way." Su Xingyi tilted his head to look at Shaoyao and Baizhi. "After you finished making breakfast and left the small kitchen, and then came back to make lunch, did you notice anyone entering the small kitchen during that time?"
Xiao Lingyu pressed his eyebrows, this made things more complicated.
It is possible that none of these suspects is the one who poisoned the person.
Maybe the person who poisoned him has already left.
Bai Zhi: "Prince Shun, we left after making breakfast. Mother Zhang always locks the kitchen before leaving."
Xiao Lingyu's expression relaxed. "Are you sure? Did you lock everything before leaving?"
Shaoyao said, "After Madam Zhang locks the cupboard, we will go and bring food to the prince."
"You didn't see Mother Zhang lock the kitchen door that day?"
Peony nodded.
Xie Wanyi hurriedly said, "Baizhi, go and call Mother Zhang."
Mother Zhang and Bai Zhi hurried to the Jade Courtyard and said, "Greetings to Prince Shun, Princess, and Princess."
"Mother Zhang, do you lock the small kitchen every day before eating in the big kitchen?"
"Yes, Prince Shun."
"So, after making breakfast that day, when you left the small kitchen, did you notice any unusual behavior from others? Or did anyone approach the water tank?"
