Ni Yueshan's eyes were calm, as if he was not anxious at all. He just looked at Tian Qinan calmly. Jing Chengzhi was sure at the beginning, but now he has some doubts. Is Ni Yueshan really innocent?
Someone was checking the arrows on the side, and Qingdie came over after applying medicine on her wound.
Jing Chengzhi saw her with a curious expression, "Aren't you Ni Yueshan's personal maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion? How did you become Princess Gou Qiong's person now?"
Qingdie's expression was indifferent. Even though the other person was a prince, a prince, she responded neither servilely nor arrogantly, "From the beginning to the end, this servant was only the Crown Prince's person. Now that Miss Ni is dead, it's natural for me to return to the Crown Prince's side. The Crown Princess is the person the Crown Prince cares about the most right now. What's wrong with this servant being responsible for protecting the Crown Princess?"
In a word, Jing Chengzhi couldn't refute it at all.
Tian Qinan listened quietly, feeling complicated inside.
Originally, she should have been the Crown Princess...
At this time, the person who was inspecting the arrow reported: "Crown Princess, Prince, we found something smeared on the arrow."
Jing Chengzhi's eyes lit up, but he remained calm as always.
"Really? Let the doctor check what's on the arrow."
Jing Chengzhi's eyes fell on Ni Yueshan: "The Crown Princess had someone tamper with the arrow, and Captain Zou was injured by your maid..."
"Prince, please be mindful of your words. Don't make up stories without solid evidence! Miss Tian, I, the Crown Princess, don't want to spoil the fun. Please handle this matter properly!"
Tian Qinan understood that now was her chance to show off, "Yes."
Ni Yueshan glanced at Jing Chengzhi with disdain and walked towards the horse beside him.
Jing Chengzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Tian Qinan: "Investigate thoroughly. If we don't find a reasonable murderer, the Tian family will be blamed!"
This is a warning.
He had been considerate and helpful to her before.
Tian Qinan's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. "Prince, are you suspecting that Qingdie left just now and poisoned all the arrows in this quiver? Is this to create the illusion that someone else is the murderer?"
Jing Chengzhi lowered his eyes and looked at Tian Qinan with admiration. She was extremely beautiful and intelligent, but her fate was so unfortunate!
"Yes, do you have any way to expose her?"
Tian Qinan curled her lips into a charming smile, "The arrow that injured the general was shot by Qingdie. If we want to convict her, as long as we can find out that the arrow the general shot at her is not poisonous, we can prove that she is the murderer!"
Because of Zou Yangyao's arrow, Qingdie had no chance to touch...
Just now she left and poisoned all the arrows in the quiver, but she must have missed the only arrow that fell to the ground by Zou Yangyao.
Jing Chengzhi admired Tian Qinan more and more. He reached out and patted her shoulder, his eyes deep: "Father told you not to enter the royal family. Father is really confused."
This sentence was full of profound meaning. Tian Qinan lowered his head and said, "The emperor's decision is not something that ordinary people like us can resist. Prince, Qinan will send someone to pick up the arrow!"
"Okay." Jing Chengzhi did not doubt Tian Qinan. He stood straight and waited for Tian Qinan's men to find out the results.
Qingdie was leading the horse for Ni Yueshan. Because Ni Yueshan was too powerful today, many people did not dare to get too close to her. When she was riding a horse here, many people were afraid and hid far away.
Qingdie spoke without any hesitation.
"Master, if you are not here to watch over Miss Tian, aren't you afraid that Miss Tian won't act according to your ideas?"
"I don't think anything would be more attractive to her than marrying into royalty."
Qingdie asked hesitantly, "Then, Master, are you not angry that I took the initiative to deal with Captain Zou?"
"You're planning for me, so why would I be angry? It's just that you're taking too much risk. If things go wrong, you'll be putting yourself in danger. I don't think that's a good deal!"
Qingdie is a little heartwarming, Ni Yueshan is so nice...
"What kind of poison is that? Is there an antidote?" Ni Yueshan couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.
Soon, Tian Qinan's men left and came back to get the arrows.
The servant handed over an arrow with a trace of blood on it. As to whether there was any poison on it, the doctor had to verify it personally.
Jing Chengzhi looked at the doctor beside him. The doctor came forward to check, but after the examination, the silver needle gradually turned black.
"poisonous!"
The report brought a hint of surprise to Jing Chengzhi's originally confident face.
poisonous?
He frowned, feeling unhappy: "Are you sure?"
"Please look, Prince!"
He brought the silver needle closer, and Jing Chengzhi took a closer look. There was a layer of black on the silver needle.
If it's not poisonous, then what is it?
It was he who suggested that Qingdie and Zou Yangyao shoot arrows, so there was no reason for Ni Yueshan to let Qingdie go first to put poison on the arrow.
She can't predict the future.
But the arrow was indeed poisonous.
Did Ni Yueshan plot to murder Zou Yangyao on the spot and smear the poison on him right then and there?
Jing Chengzhi's face turned gloomy, and his good mood gradually faded.
Tian Qinan sighed, "Qinan was actually thinking that even though Qingdie was once Miss Ni's maid, she didn't dare to follow Princess Gou Qiong and avenge Miss Ni and hurt Captain Zou. Now it seems that you, Prince, have overestimated the courage and loyalty of this maid!"
Jing Chengzhi's eyes narrowed, "Not many people know about this yet. This arrow..."
His eyes swept over the arrow, meaning that he should let Tian Qinan quickly have someone get rid of the poison. In this way, no matter what they said, it would all count, right?
Tian Qinan was not afraid, but asked uncertainly: "The prince wants to go against Princess Gou Qiong? Qinan can't afford to offend Princess Gou Qiong..."
