Seeing that Jiang Jingchuan had no objection, he said to the people around him, "Go and invite Tu Liangyuan over."
She used the word "please" on purpose to show it to Jiang Jingchuan.
When Tu Qingyu arrived, he was still a little dazed, with sleepiness in his eyes.
Jiang Jingchuan knew at a glance that he had just woken up.
"Greetings to His Highness, and to His Majesty!"
Jiang Jingchuan pulled her over and asked, "Have you just woken up? Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Not yet? I wonder what His Highness wants me to do?" She looked around. "Is this Chen Liang Di's bedroom? Isn't it inappropriate for us to be in Chen Liang Di's bedroom?"
"Where's Chen Liangdi?"
She seemed a little nervous, and her hand, which was held by Jiang Jingchuan, was sweating.
Jiang Jingchuan paused. What kind of reaction was this? Could it be that she was really involved in this matter?
The next second, Tu Qingyu pulled him a little to the side, tugged at his collar, stood on tiptoe, and wanted to whisper to him.
Jiang Jingchuan cooperated and lowered his head.
"Your Highness, is Chen Liang Di going to take revenge on me for beating her nanny?"
When Tu Qingyu came close to him, he could still smell the faint scent of camellia on her body.
The little girl's low voice and warm breath filled my ears.
When he heard these words, he subconsciously lowered his eyes.
It just happened to bump into a pair of clear eyes.
He could clearly hear his heart beating faster.
Then he heard the little girl whisper, "Your Highness, you must keep your word. You can't let her bully me..."
He could hardly restrain himself from wanting to hold the little girl in his arms.
But the occasion was not right, so he lowered his head and whispered, "No, no matter what happens later, don't be afraid, I believe you."
Meeting the little girl's puzzled look, he reached out and rubbed her head.
Looking at the intimate posture of the two, the Crown Princess almost wanted to twist the handkerchief in her hand into pieces.
“Your Highness—!”
Although Chen Liangdi couldn't see, she could still hear and roughly understand what was happening outside.
She asked His Highness to call the man over to question him, not to see them being affectionate.
Tu Qingyu seemed startled and subconsciously moved closer to Jiang Jingchuan.
Jiang Jingchuan squeezed her delicate hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Just answer whatever I ask you later."
"So Chen Liangdi is here. Why doesn't Chen Liangdi get out of bed?" Tu Qingyu nodded at Jiang Jingchuan, then looked at the bed curtains.
Chen Liangdi: "You still have the nerve to ask! It's you, bitch! You're the one who poisoned me!"
Before Tu Qingyu realized what was happening, Jiang Jingchuan spoke first, "Ms. Chen, watch your words!"
"Your Highness, now that I'm like this, do you still want to protect her?"
"Did she say otherwise? You're the Consort of the Eastern Palace, yet you're full of foul language. How can that be acceptable?!"
"How shameful!" Chen Liang Di visibly began to cry. "Your Highness, if it was Tu Liangyuan who was murdered today, would you still be so calm and talk to me about propriety?"
The Crown Princess saw the Crown Prince's dark face and took the initiative to speak, "You are getting more and more outrageous. You said that the person who harmed you was Tu Liangyuan, but do you have any evidence?"
Chen Liangdi: "Evidence? Just call that palace maid named Xiaohe and ask her!"
Jiang Jingchuan: "Spread it!"
Soon Xiao He was brought to Chen Liangdi's bedroom.
Since Chen Liangdi refused to get out of bed, they had to interrogate her in the bedroom.
Jiang Jingchuan had a few chairs brought in. The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince sat facing the bed, and Tu Qingyu sat next to the Crown Prince.
Xiao He knelt there, "Greetings to His Highness, Greetings to Her Majesty, Greetings to Tu Liangyuan."
The Crown Prince sat there in silence. Seeing this, the Crown Princess could only ask, "Chen Liang Di said that Tu Liang Yuan ordered her to be poisoned. Do you admit this?"
"Poison?" Xiao He seemed terrified, kneeling on the ground and trembling like crazy. When she heard this, she raised her head in fear and looked towards the bed curtains. "How dare this servant poison me? Masters, please understand. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to poison you!"
"Isn't it you?" Chen Liangdi's sharp voice came again. "You don't admit it? You dare to say you didn't poison me? Aren't you being unscrupulous when you say that? Aren't you afraid that your family will suffer retribution?"
Family!
These three words seemed to hit Xiaohe's heart. She raised her head in an instant and looked in Chen Liangdi's direction with resentment.
Jiang Jingchuan keenly noticed her change and became more determined in his idea.
Xiao He knelt down again, "Your Highness, please understand. I truly did not poison Chen Liang Di!"
"You, you slut, you dare not admit it!" Chen Liangdi was furious. "You really don't care about your family at all..."
"master!"
Nanny Dai interrupted her, "Master, please don't get excited. Take care of yourself, Master."
Is it okay to say such a threat here?
When these words were spoken, wasn't it telling His Highness clearly that they were the ones who had kidnapped the little palace maid's family and wanted the little palace maid to slander Tu Qingyu?
Chen Liangdi also realized what was happening. She took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, since she doesn't admit it, we can search the palace. Since she drugged her, we must save some of it."
"Search the palace?" Tu Qingyu said, "It seems that Chen Liangdi wants to search my palace?"
"A maid in your palace harmed someone, so why can't your palace be searched?"
"You have no evidence, yet you're accusing my palace maid of drugging you? Show me the evidence!"
Aunt Dai stepped forward at this time and said, "We have evidence. We have witnesses here."
"A witness?" The Crown Princess took over. "Why don't you send it quickly?"
Soon, a few young eunuchs were brought up.
Nanny Dai: "Come forward and take a look. Do you recognize this palace maid?"
Several young eunuchs knelt on the ground, crawled forward two steps, and glanced at Xiaohe.
Then he kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, her name is Xiao He. She was the one who gave the medicine to me, and I gave it to the cleaner in Shulan Courtyard."
Another eunuch spoke up, "I am the cleaner of Shulan Courtyard. A few days ago, a young palace maid gave me twenty taels of silver and told me to give the medicine to the eunuch serving in the Shulan Courtyard in a few days."
Tu Qingyu looked at the last eunuch and said, "Then it seems that you are the eunuch who serves the meal?"
"Yes, I am the eunuch who serves the meal. Xiao He and I are from the same hometown. I have been attracted to her for a long time. She came to me for help, and I softened my heart..."
"I, your servant, deserve death a thousand times. I dare not ask for forgiveness from my master, but I only ask for death!"
Tu Qingyu: "Wait a moment, don't die yet, answer a few questions first."
Little eunuch:?
What does 'wait a moment before you die' mean?
Tu Qingyu: "You said my maid gave you twenty taels of silver. Where is the silver?"
