You know, if Ni Yueshan hadn't asked someone to take their coats, none of the two people who were unconscious or dead would need to wear coats, so no one would have known that their clothes were missing. Even if they knew, they might not have thought about it carefully.
Ni Yueshan sat aside without saying anything else, but was thinking about how to investigate next.
Seeing Ni Yueshan silent, Qingdie also began to think. It was very quiet around, and the servants knelt on the ground.
Finally, Ni Yueshan stood up and walked out, and Qingdie immediately followed.
Ni Yueshan glanced outside the tent and saw white snow everywhere. The snow piled up on the branches trembled and fell down.
Seeing Ni Yueshan's eyes flickering, Qingdie asked doubtfully, "What are you looking at, Crown Princess?"
Ni Yueshan asked curiously, "Has the snow piled up last night? Will their bonfire be affected?"
"There's fuel, so starting a fire in the snow isn't a problem! But the snow wasn't that thick back then..."
"Can the branches of that tree accumulate snow?"
"Yes, but not very many?"
Ni Yueshan sighed and walked in one direction. Qingdie didn't know what Ni Yueshan wanted to do and followed him. Ni Yueshan arrived at the imperial physician's office. The imperial physicians saw Ni Yueshan and thought he was here to investigate a case, so they didn't react much.
Ni Yueshan took the initiative to ask, "Everyone, I'd like to know if there's any powder that can be as white as snow and also attract venomous snakes? The smell is not sensitive to humans, so it's hard for them to detect, but snakes are very sensitive to it."
As soon as Ni Yueshan opened his mouth, the imperial doctors present looked at each other in surprise. As expected, he was trying to solve the case.
"We were ordered to come to the hunting ground only to treat others. We did not carry this powder."
"Is there anything for sale at the market?"
Ni Yueshan's question sounded strange, and someone responded, "Maybe there is, maybe not. Some snake catchers use powder to attract snakes, but that's dangerous. Snakes hibernate in the winter, so even if you ask for powder, it might not be enough to lure them out!"
Ni Yueshan chuckled and responded, "I don't attract snakes. I just want to know if there is such powder."
Obviously, the answer is yes!
As Ni Yueshan walked out, he said to Qingdie, "Inside my mother's tent, the venomous snake might have been targeting her, but the killer didn't have the chance to sprinkle any medicine powder on her, so in the end, it was Xiao Chuer who got bit. At that time, either they didn't have the chance to contact my mother, or they didn't buy the medicine powder! Because I only came to the hunting ground not long ago, the killer didn't have time to buy the powder."
"But the murderer also released poisonous snakes. Could it be that he bought the powder only after injuring the Prime Minister's wife?"
"It's not impossible, you see!"
Ni Yueshan pointed at a tree trunk, and eventually the trunk broke because it could not bear the weight, and the snow on it fell down.
"A perfect place to sprinkle the powder?"
Ni Yueshan nodded: "If that person's Qinggong is not good, he might have to climb a tree to put the powder on it."
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered as she spoke, and then she looked at Qingdie. Qingdie was a little puzzled by Ni Yueshan's gaze: "Crown Princess, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'll go and ask the Emperor for permission!"
Qingdie was confused again. She could never guess what Ni Yueshan was going to do next. Ni Yueshan's mind worked too fast!
Ni Yueshan walked towards the emperor's tent. During the day, all those who participated in the hunting would rest. The emperor would not hunt, but would wait for the results and see the achievements of others.
Ni Yueshan said to the guards outside, "This Crown Princess needs to see my father."
The guards were somewhat embarrassed, but Ni Yueshan said firmly, "If the emperor gets angry, I, the Crown Princess, will bear the consequences!"
"Okay, Princess, please wait a moment!"
The guard turned and walked into the tent, and Ni Yueshan waited quietly.
Not long after, the guard came out and called Ni Yueshan in.
Ni Yueshan took a few deep breaths, then stepped in.
At this time, inside the tent, the emperor was wearing a bright yellow five-clawed dragon robe and had obviously just gotten up from the bed.
The distance was quite far, so Ni Yueshan couldn't see his face clearly. She only said, "Greetings, Father."
"Did the Crown Princess find some clues and come to see me?"
"It's just a bold guess, so I beg Your Majesty to grant me permission to do something!"
"You're quite courageous. You actually want to ask for my opinion before taking any action. I don't think this is a good thing."
"Because there are so many people involved, and it's our break time now, many people will inevitably complain. Therefore, I need your permission, Father, before I have the courage to act!"
Ni Yueshan's expression was very confident, and her demeanor was indifferent and calm. The emperor felt that Ni Yueshan had already won the victory.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
