The maid frowned and replied, "Welcome the young master to bed!"
"So you were there when the young master was bitten by a snake?"
"right!"
The maid lowered her head and responded, a blush gradually burning on her face. Ni Yueshan asked with a smile on her face, "Then, besides the master-servant relationship, do you and the young master have any other relationship?"
Ni Yueshan's words sounded strange, and the woman couldn't help but frown: "What are you doing, Crown Princess? Seeing that he's gone, are you still trying to accuse him of something?"
Ni Yueshan didn't look at the woman, but only looked at the maid, and asked, "Please answer me honestly!"
The maidservant was inevitably a little timid under Ni Yueshan's oppressive gaze. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Ni Yueshan instructed Qingdie beside him, "Go find the imperial physician now."
Qingdie understood and turned away. The woman and everyone else present were all confused. No one knew what Ni Yueshan was trying to do.
The woman snorted disdainfully, "It was the imperial physician who announced my son's death. What's the point of having them come?"
Seeing the unhappy expression on the woman's face, Ni Yueshan simply said, "Maybe it's a surprise for you?"
The woman frowned and looked at Ni Yueshan, her expression becoming more and more disgusted with Ni Yueshan. Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Ni Yueshan just stood aside calmly without saying anything, waiting for the imperial physician to arrive.
The maidservant wiped her tears silently.
Soon the imperial physician was called over. Ni Yueshan pointed at the maid and ordered the imperial physician, "Take her pulse!"
The imperial physician looked confused. A maid?
The maid also looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise, not knowing what Ni Yueshan was going to do. She frowned and said, "I'm not sick!"
"I didn't say you were sick!" Ni Yueshan withdrew his gaze from her and looked at the imperial physician: "Thank you for your trouble!"
The imperial physician didn't know what Ni Yueshan was going to do, but he still stepped forward and said to Xiao Cui, "Please stretch out your wrist, young lady!"
Xiao Cui knew that she had no right to refuse, so she finally stretched out her wrist obediently and let the imperial physician take her pulse.
Not long after, the imperial physician looked hesitant, wondering what Ni Yueshan's purpose was.
Seeing the imperial physician looking at Ni Yueshan with an expression that seemed to be hesitant to speak, Ni Yueshan soothed him, "Tell me what you found out from taking my pulse!"
The imperial physician glanced at Xiao Cui hesitantly, and finally said, "I've noticed this girl has a slippery pulse!"
The woman had been pregnant before, so she naturally understood what the slippery pulse meant instantly.
She turned around, looked at the maid behind her, and immediately slapped her in the face, "You shameless person!"
The maid was beaten and fell to the ground. She covered her face with her hands in grievance and didn't dare to say anything.
Ni Yueshan couldn't help but tut his tongue twice: "Her slippery pulse is your son's? This is a happy event! After leaving it for your son, why did you hit her?"
The woman's face was icy cold. "Humph, who can say for sure?"
The maid looked up at the woman with a look of grievance: "Madam, I dare not tell the truth because I have never thought about asking for a status. Madam, I just want to give birth to the child, and I don't ask for anything else."
"Please, Madam, since the young master is no longer in this world, this child will be considered as an extra flesh and blood for the young master, and you will have one more thing to cherish. Please let me give birth to the child!"
Qingdie stood aside, approaching Ni Yueshan with some surprise and asking, "Crown Princess, how did you find out she was pregnant?"
Ni Yueshan turned to look at Qingdie, "Because I am also a pregnant woman, I noticed that her hands are always placed on her abdomen from time to time. She looks like a pregnant woman..."
"Will this help the case?"
Ni Yueshan looked serious and shook her head. She didn't know either.
The woman frowned, too lazy to look at her, and just said, "You shameful thing, why don't you get out of here!"
Ni Yueshan opened his mouth to stop him, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished asking for the details about this young master's poisoning yet."
The maid's face still had a slap mark on it. She stood up and lowered her head, completely losing her initial indignation. She only said, "What else does the Crown Princess want to ask?"
"You were helping the young master to bed at the time. I'd like to ask, why was it the young master who was bitten, and not you?"
Xiao Cui glanced at Ni Yueshan, then frowned and replied, "Because it's the young master, go to bed and rest, I'll be under the bed!"
"So the snake was under the covers?"
"yes!"
Ni Yueshan frowned. "That's strange. If he was bitten by a snake in bed, why is your young master now wearing his coat and fully dressed? He doesn't take off his clothes when he sleeps."
Ni Yueshan's words surprised everyone present. Yes, they didn't notice this detail?
Ni Yueshan demanded, "Honestly, this Crown Princess's patience is limited, otherwise I would send your child to see your Young Master right now!"
Xiao Cui's expression changed instantly, and she quickly said, "Actually, this servant, when I was trying to cover the young master with a blanket, I noticed something strange, so I quickly got off the bed. Unexpectedly, there was a snake on the bed, and it bit the young master. At that time, the young master... hadn't even taken off his clothes yet."
Ni Yueshan showed a look of sudden realization: "So you were lucky enough to escape, but your young master was unlucky?"
The maid lowered her head and said nothing. Ni Yueshan's eyes narrowed even more: "Are you still lying?"
Xiao Cui couldn't stand the pressure and knelt on the ground. The others listened with confusion, wondering what Ni Yueshan was doing?
"Why didn't the snake bite you? Did it bite your young master? Don't you know?"
Ni Yueshan questioned, causing the maid's face to pale.
Ni Yueshan looked at Qingdie who was standing beside him and said, "Please try to recall what this young man was wearing last night!"
Qingdie was so focused on arguing with someone at the time that she didn't pay attention to what they were wearing...
She lowered her eyes to look at the corpse, and after thinking carefully, she heard that there seemed to be something unusual about this matter. Xiao Cui was hiding something, and Ni Yueshan had discovered something. The woman quickly asked, "Crown Princess, do you suspect something?"
Ni Yueshan comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. I have a clue now."
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan whispered an instruction to Qingdie, and Qingdie understood and turned away.
The woman now felt that something was indeed wrong, so she didn't rush to urge Xiao Cui. Instead, she angrily scolded her, "Young Master is being harmed by someone, why are you hiding it? Why don't you confess the truth? What are you hiding?"
When Xiao Cui was questioned, she looked up at the woman, then at Ni Yueshan, and finally responded with a frown: "Your servant, your servant is guilty..."
