But from his complexion, it can be seen that he is poisoned.

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince was indeed poisoned."

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Then why do you say he was not poisoned but had an illness?"

Shen Chuwei explained: "Your Highness, the situation was urgent at the time. If it was poisoning, the Queen would be angry and would definitely not give Your Highness the opportunity to find out the truth, and would also miss the time to save the Seventh Prince."

Xiao Jinyan was stunned when he heard this. With his mother's temper, she would definitely do this. He has already deeply understood this in the past few years since he came back.

"You mean, someone really poisoned the mutton?"

Shen Chuwei: "This is my guess."

Xiao Jinyan: "How come I am fine after eating mutton with you? And how do you know the antidote?"

Uh! Because she used the water from the spiritual spring to make tea last night, I can only say that Xiao Jinyan was too lucky~

But then again, if they had been poisoned at that time, the Seventh Prince would have been in trouble.

"Maybe it was because the poison was not evenly distributed. The Seventh Prince was unlucky and ate the poisoned roasted lamb."

My brother has bad luck? Xiao Jinyan suddenly remembered what Lu Zhaoyan said, that Shen Chuwei has the appearance of a lucky husband.

He scoffed at that time, but after experiencing two incidents, it seemed that what Lu Zhaoyan said was true.

"If someone really poisoned you on purpose, then you are the target. I will investigate this matter thoroughly, so you don't have to be afraid."

"As long as Your Highness is here, I'm not afraid." Shen Chuwei curved her eyebrows and flattered.

This was the second time Xiao Jinyan heard her say this. It showed her full trust in someone, which made him a little curious.

"Do you trust me so much?"

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously and continued to flatter him, "The person closest to me in the palace is Your Highness. Of course, I trust Your Highness to protect me, and I will also put Your Highness first."

It was the first time that Xiao Jinyan heard someone say such words to him, saying that he was the most important.

The scene that happened last night suddenly appeared in his mind, and Shen Chuwei rushed to his side without thinking.

This is not something that everyone can do.

"I won't let you down."

Xiao Jinyan will not make promises easily, but once he makes a promise, he will keep it.

As a courtesy, Shen Chuwei also replied: "I will not let Your Highness down."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Xiao Jinyan's lips, and even he himself didn't realize that the gloom of last night was dispelled a lot because of Shen Chuwei's words.

After Shen Chuwei went back, Xiao Jinyan asked people to investigate the poisoning of the mutton, and anyone who had come into contact with the mutton was arrested and interrogated.

In the evening, guard Ling Feng strode in.

"Your Highness, we have already found out that Qiu Ju from Lan Yue Palace had contact with mutton."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes were as cold as frost: "Let's go to Lanyue Palace."

At this time, Qiu Ju from Lanyue Palace ran in quickly from outside, with a panicked look on her face: "My lady, His Highness has thoroughly investigated this matter, and I'm afraid it will soon lead to us."

Shen Mingzhu clutched her handkerchief tightly and said bitterly, "I didn't expect that bitch was so lucky that she could escape the poison."

The palace maid trotted in and reported: "My lady, His Highness is leading his men to Lanyue Palace."

Shen Mingzhu panicked when she heard this. She couldn't let His Highness know that it was her who did it, otherwise she would be doomed.

She looked at Qiuju, and hope suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." Eunuch Liu's shrill voice came from outside.

Shen Mingzhu and the people from Lanyue Palace saluted Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan strode to the throne and sat down, looking coldly at Shen Liangyuan, "Shen Liangyuan, why did you poison the mutton?"

Shen Mingzhu knelt on the ground with a plop and looked at Xiao Jinyan aggrievedly, "Your Highness, you have wronged me. I normally wouldn't even step on an ant to death, let alone poison someone?"

Xiao Jinyan sneered: "When Eunuch Qian sent the mutton, you were the only one who touched the mutton, and you still say it wasn't you who poisoned it?"

"Your Highness, if you don't believe me, ask the people in my palace. I was just curious at the time and asked. I would never dare to poison you."

Xiao Jinyan didn't want to waste words with Shen Mingzhu. "Whether it's true or not, I can find out by asking. Where is Qiuju?"

The palace maid ran in, her face pale, "My lady, something bad has happened. Qiuju, Qiuju committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

"What? Committed suicide out of fear of punishment? Shen Mingzhu blinked twice, tears streaming down her face, "How could Qiuju do such a thing?"

Xiao Jinyan frowned upon hearing this and looked towards Ling Feng, "Go and take a look."

"Yes." Ling Feng took the order and went to check.

He came back after a while with a piece of paper in his hand.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Your Highness, Qiu Ju committed suicide out of fear of punishment and left behind a suicide note." Ling Feng presented the suicide note with both hands.

Xiao Jinyan picked up the suicide note and glanced at it. Qiu Ju clearly stated that she couldn't stand Shen Chuwei being arrogant and not taking her master seriously, so she came up with the idea of ​​poisoning her. She didn't expect that the matter would be exposed, and she could only die to atone for her crime.

After reading the suicide note, he couldn't believe that a little palace maid could poison someone without anyone's instructions.

He raised his head and looked at Shen Mingzhu, who was crying bitterly at this moment.

"Your Highness, I really didn't know Qiuju would have such a vicious mind. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped her." Shen Mingzhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Fortunately, Qiu Ju was loyal, otherwise she would have been finished.

Xiao Jinyan looked at him coldly. Now there was no evidence, so even if he knew that it was Shen Mingzhu who ordered it, he could not convict Shen Mingzhu.

"Qiu Ju is your personal maid. If she makes a mistake, you, as her master, are also to blame. I punish you by confining your house for one month and making you copy Buddhist scriptures until the full term."

Shen Mingzhu clutched her handkerchief tightly. She was under house arrest again. Since she entered the Eastern Palace, she had been under house arrest almost all the time. If this continued, when would she be able to sleep with the emperor? Would she be honored by her son? She also had to copy Buddhist scriptures. I am not a monk, so what Buddhist scriptures should I copy? She was dissatisfied but could not show it. She could only kowtow to express her gratitude.

"Your Highness, I obey your orders."

Xiao Jinyan threw the suicide note away, without even looking at Shen Mingzhu, and strode away.

Yixiangdian

"Is what you said true? Shen Mingzhu is under house arrest again?"

"It's true, my lady. His Highness is very angry. Shen Liangyuan will not be able to seek favor during this period."

Xu Liangyuan had been depressed ever since her chance to sleep with Shen Mingzhu was snatched away. Now, after hearing one after another that Shen Mingzhu had been demoted and confined to her room, her depression had been largely relieved.

"Shen Mingzhu is really stupid. Not only did she lose her wife, but she also lost her army."

"That's right. Shen Fengyi is still in favor and is almost overshadowing Chang Liangdi." Caixia said.

Xu Liangyuan's eyes flashed with doubt, "Why didn't I see Shen Chuwei was so scheming before? She easily took away my chance to sleep with her. I didn't even go to the welcoming banquet. What qualifications does she have as a mere concubine?"

"My lady, Shen Fengyi is a vixen who is very good at pretending to be weak, which is why Your Highness was bewitched by her."

"Let's go and take the things to Xiyun Pavilion." Xu Liangyuan snorted, waved her handkerchief and went out.
