"That's right, it's making so much noise that I can't sleep."

Chang Liangdi listened calmly and did not comment.

When Concubine Xu heard that Chuntao had died, she thought of Xiao Fuzi who had come out of Xiyun Pavilion early in the morning. Xiao Fuzi was still imprisoned. If it weren't for Chuntao, she would have forgotten about it.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at the corpse covered by white cloth at a distance. She held up her handkerchief and said sadly, "Sister, Chuntao has been in Xiyun Pavilion since a long time ago. You were promoted to Liang Di, and there were not enough people to serve you, so I let Chuntao come back. Chuntao was fine yesterday, but she died suddenly?"

Shen Chuwei has been a nerd for more than ten years. How could he have ever seen a dead person?

After she got up, Xiao Guizi and Xiao Anzi covered the body with cloth.

She didn't know the exact cause of death.

Shen Chuwei said calmly: "I don't know why Chuntao is crying and wants to go back to Xiyun Pavilion when she is working for Shen Liangyuan?"

Shen Mingzhu said with a sad face: "You have to ask my sister. I was doing good things, but I didn't expect Chuntao to end up like this. If I had known, I would not have let her come back yesterday."

Concubine Xu had never gotten along with Concubine Shen since she was a child, and she found everything she heard unpleasant unto the ear.

"Shen Liangyuan, what you mean is that Chuntao was killed by someone in Xiyun Pavilion?"

When Shen Mingzhu saw that Concubine Xu had also arrived, she tried to stay away from her and stood next to Chang Liangdi.

"Concubine Xu, I didn't say that. I'm just curious about how a healthy person could just disappear like that."

After Shen Mingzhu finished speaking, she looked at Shen Chuwei again, questioning in her tone: "Could it be that my sister said something to Chuntao that caused her to be upset?"

Shen Chuwei said: "I haven't even seen Chuntao, how can I talk to her?"

"How could Chuntao die suddenly? She was fine when I saw her yesterday. If no one had said anything, she wouldn't have committed suicide." Shen Mingzhu said this and sighed regretfully.

At this time, Liu Xi's shrill voice came from the door: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Xiao Jinyan strode in wearing a dark court robe.

Shen Chuwei and others bowed to His Highness, "May Your Highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan glanced at everyone and said, "Get up."

He glanced at Chun Tao, who was covered with a white cloth not far away, and told Wei Chi, "Go check the cause of death."

"Yes, sir." Wei Chi took the order and strode towards the corpse.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei again, "What's going on?"

Shen Chuwei explained the whole story one by one, "Your Highness, this is what happened."

"Your Highness, Chuntao was originally a maid in Xiyun Pavilion, and later came to work for me. Because my sister was promoted to Liang Di, I was afraid that there would not be enough people to serve her, so I sent Chuntao back. Yesterday, Chuntao left Lanyue Palace happily, but she was gone after a night."

Shen Mingzhu wanted to put the blame of Chuntao's death on Shen Chuwei, so that His Highness would know that she was a vicious person. How could she still be favored?

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Shen Mingzhu coldly, and immediately saw through her hypocrisy and scheming. He also guessed that it was her doing. Just when he was worried that he had no chance, she came to him.

"It's impossible for Chuntao to go back to Xiyun Pavilion once she leaves. Shen Liangdi's promotion to Liangdi didn't happen in the past two days. Why did you suddenly think of letting Chuntao return to Xiyun Pavilion?"

"Your Highness, Shen Liangdi and I are sisters. I was under house arrest a few days ago, and I was not feeling well, so I just remembered it. I didn't expect this would be the result. Normally, Chuntao is also a nimble maid, otherwise I would not have thought of letting Chuntao go back to continue serving her sister." Shen Mingzhu said this with such deep emotion that she was almost in tears.

Xiao Jinyan listened to Shen Mingzhu's hypocritical words and didn't even want to look at her. He looked at Wei Chi not far away, waiting for his autopsy results.

Seeing that His Highness was silent, Chang Liangdi thought that he must be trying to protect Shen Chuwei. She stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Chuntao's death is strange. There must be something behind it. Your Highness must find out."

Shen Mingzhu felt guilty and subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

After Wei Chi finished the examination, he strode over and reported, "Your Highness, Chun Tao died of poisoning an hour ago, and there are no obvious wounds on her body."

Shen Chuwei felt something was strange when she heard this, so she turned and walked towards the corpse to take a look.

Xiao Jinyan stopped her when he saw her: "What are you doing?"

Shen Chuwei did not hide it, "I want to go and take a look."

"What's there to see about a dead person?" Xiao Jinyan was afraid that Shen Chuwei would have a nightmare at night after seeing it. After all, dead people can look in all kinds of ways.

Shen Chuwei said seriously: "I want to ask her how she is doing in Lanyue Palace."

"Sister, are you okay? Chuntao is dead and can't answer your questions." Shen Mingzhu looked worried on the surface, but she was sneering in her heart. A dead person can't answer your questions. Chuntao died in Xiyun Pavilion, and you are not free from responsibility.

Shen Chuwei said: "Only the dead don't lie."

Xiao Jinyan stood up and said to Shen Chuwei: "I will go with you to take a look."

Shen Chuwei curved his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The two men walked towards the body side by side.

Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but complain in her heart, "Is there something wrong with your Highness' brain? You actually believed what Shen Chuwei said that the dead won't lie? I want to see how the dead can speak?" Chang Liangdi grabbed her handkerchief and looked at the backs of the two people in front of her, feeling unwilling.

Shen Chuwei came to the corpse. She grabbed Xiao Jinyan's sleeve with one hand, afraid of suddenly seeing the horrific death.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes to glance at the hand that was tightly grasping his sleeve, then moved his gaze upwards to that delicate little face, "If you're scared, don't look at it."

"Your Highness, I'll just take a look." Shen Chuwei was already prepared, and said to Wei Chi: "Open it."

Wei Chi squatted in front of the corpse and lifted the white cloth with one hand.

Shen Chuwei took a quick glance and saw that the death by suicide by taking poison was not that horrible, but it still made her feel a little uneasy.

"alright."

Upon hearing this, Wei Chi immediately covered it with a white cloth.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and asked, "Did you see anything?"

Shen Chuwei said, "Your Highness, Chuntao used to be much rounder than Chunxi. Now Chuntao is much thinner than before. One can tell at a glance that it is caused by long-term lack of food. In addition, her face is yellow-gray. The yellow face is caused by malnutrition, which means that she has not lived well during this period. She is not well fed and clothed. The one who got the poison is the red-crowned crane."

The Red Cross is a high-grade poison that a maidservant cannot buy even if she has money.

"Sister, don't say anything careless. I never treated Chuntao badly when she was in Lanyue Palace. She said she wanted to lose weight and that's why she lost weight."

Shen Mingzhu looked at the prince after she finished speaking, "Your Highness, everything I said is true, and I dare not deceive Your Highness."
