Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Xin didn't press him and continued, "When you go back, you might just happen to run into the uprising at the General's Mansion."
Lord Jiang, who had been somewhat flustered, calmed down now and said, "Princess Xin Xin, this is just your deduction, and there is no evidence. Of course, I don't doubt Princess Xin Xin's abilities; we just want to see if what Princess Xin Xin says is true. So, Princess, could you please let us see the two maids?"
Gu Xin glanced outside; it was already dark.
Lu Ni guessed that they had started taking action, so they could begin their formal interrogation.
She nodded: "Okay."
She had the food on the table cleared away, whispered a few instructions to Fatty Wang, and then stood up to digest her food.
Fatty Wang went out and found He Gang and He Qiang.
"Brothers, the Third Miss said to gag those two maids and take them inside." Fatty Wang stood between the two men, putting his arms around their arms.
He wasn't short, just very fat. After a month of intensive weight loss and medicinal baths at the Gu family's clinic, he lost a lot of weight and his health improved significantly.
Standing between He Gang and He Qiang, he only looks a little bit fatter than them. It seems that in a few months, he will be able to lose weight completely and have a healthy body.
Soon, Ah Yin and Ah Lü were led into the room.
The two men were held captive by He Gang and He Qiang, their mouths gagged with cloth.
Ah-Lu's eyes were filled with terror, while Ah-Yin remained as bewildered as before, her head bowed.
Gu Xin stepped forward, first pinching A-Lu's chin, then removing the gag from her mouth.
Ah-Lu struggled a bit.
Gu Xin said softly, "Don't move, I just want to see if there's anything else in your mouth."
Soon, Gu Xin took something out of A Lü's mouth, and Zheng Qiu caught it with a tray beside her.
General Mu stepped forward and looked at Ah Lü in disbelief: "You actually hid poison in your mouth?"
He truly had no idea that the second princess's maid was a suicide squad member, or even her personal maid.
At this moment, he believed seven-tenths of what Gu Xin said.
Gu Xin still held A-Lu's chin, not even giving her a chance to bite her tongue and die: "Tell me, are you the eldest princess's person or the third princess's person?"
Ah-Lu's eyes returned to normal, but she remained silent.
Gu Xin smiled and said, "I guess you're one of the eldest princess's people, right?"
Ah Lü's expression changed.
Gu Xin dislocated her jaw, told He Gang to tie her up and keep an eye on her, and then went to A Yin's side.
Gu Xin didn't even remove the cloth swaddling from A Yin, and directly asked, "Are you the Grand Prince Consort's person?"
Ayin still stared blankly at Gu Xin.
General Mu and Lord Jiang, among others, felt that this A Yin might not be the one.
They tend to believe that the eldest princess knew about the affairs of the prince consort's family, so Ah Lu was someone of the eldest princess and the prince consort, and Ah Yin was just a normal personal maid.
Gu Xin glanced at A Yin from head to toe and said, "I can cure your poison, really. You've been in Da Zhou for so long, you must have heard that I know medicine, right? I can tell you're poisoned just by looking at you. Can other doctors tell?"
Ah Yin's eyes immediately cleared of confusion, and everyone present could see that hope had risen in them.
Gu Xin smiled and said, "The poison in your Southern Lin is nothing compared to the poison in the Southern Frontier. I can even cure the deadly poison from the Southern Frontier, let alone the little bit in your body."
