Those who were resting were awakened by the noise, and then everyone was asked to get dressed and cooperate with the investigation.
Everyone was dissatisfied. Even if they didn't listen carefully, they could still hear the grumbling: "How willful! What does this have to do with us? Are you asking us to cooperate with the investigation?"
"They've made such a big fuss about it, I'm afraid it's just a show for others. Who would believe she's innocent?"
"That's right, if she could find out anything, then what's the point of the Dali Temple? It's just a show for others to see, so that others will think she is really innocent!"
These words were enough to prove that no one believed her innocence. Ni Yueshan glanced at Jing Chengzhi who was at the scene, approached him, and said, "Prince, you come first?"
Jing Chengzhi stood with everyone present, looking at Ni Yueshan with an indifferent expression, "What does the Crown Princess want from me?"
"Reach out your hand towards this cage." Ni Yueshan turned her head and looked behind her. There was a cage behind her, but the cage was covered with a black net. She couldn't see clearly what was inside, but it made people feel inexplicably scared.
Jing Chengzhi frowned, his eyes filled with questioning questions: "Reach out your hand? Isn't the Crown Princess trying to catch the murderer who poisoned people with the snake? What do you mean by this?"
Ni Yueshan was too lazy to talk to him and just said seriously, "Put your hand into the cage, and don't worry about anything else."
Jing Chengzhi stood still and said sternly, "You asked me to stretch out my hand. I must know your purpose in doing this, right?"
"That's right, Princess, what are you playing at?"
Someone started to speak uneasily, but Ni Yueshan continued to look at everyone present with indifference, "This Crown Princess has already received the emperor's permission. Everyone present must cooperate with me, otherwise I will treat those who don't cooperate as suspects and detain them!"
Ni Yueshan's expression was serious, without any intention of joking. There was a coldness in his eyes as he looked at everyone, which made people feel a chill.
Ni Yueshan looked back at Qingdie behind him. Qingdie took the initiative to step forward, picked up the black cage, and asked everyone present to put their hands in one by one.
Ni Yueshan stared at Jing Chengzhi, and Jing Chengzhi frowned. Ni Yueshan had already said this much, if he didn't cooperate, would it mean that he was guilty?
Seeing Jing Chengzhi still not moving, Ni Yueshan reminded him word by word: "The prince is hesitating? Are you afraid?"
Jing Chengzhi laughed, "Although I don't know what's in your cage, but my father will agree. Perhaps I shouldn't hesitate!"
Then he reached out and put it into the cage. Ni Yueshan looked at him with a smile on his face but didn't say anything, just staring at him.
Jing Chengzhi's hand felt a chill in the black cage. His brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked, "Is there a snake in there?"
Although the voice was not loud, many people present still heard it.
"What snake!"
Some people stepped back in fear. Ni Yueshan actually used a snake to test them. How brave was she!
Seeing everyone retreating in fear, Ni Yueshan said indifferently, "Anyone who retreats and refuses to cooperate will be arrested as a suspect!"
Jing Chengzhi took his hand out of the black cage and asked, "I have cooperated completely, Crown Princess. Am I innocent or guilty now?"
Ni Yueshan didn't respond. He looked away coldly and said, "Next!"
Qingdie walked towards another person holding a black cage. When the person knew that there was a snake inside, his expression became very interesting. He shook his head vigorously: "No, I don't, I'm scared!"
Ni Yueshan instructed the guards, "Someone is refusing to cooperate, so help her!"
Ni Yueshan's expression was very indifferent, and he was not afraid of offending anyone present. The man screamed and his hand was forced into the cage.
At the same time, outside the servants' tent, someone was also carrying a black cage to conduct a test.
The emperor had been waiting for news from Ni Yueshan. Someone reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, some people have heard that the snake in the cage is refusing to cooperate, and the Crown Princess is being forced to do so. Your Majesty, many people are complaining. Will you continue to allow the Crown Princess to continue like this?"
The emperor curled his lips slightly and said, "If anyone comes to see me, you can tell them that I am resting. I am very curious about what the Crown Princess is doing!"
Asking someone to stretch out their hand and then putting it in a cage containing snakes, is this intentional biting of the person to force them to take out the antidote?
But the imperial physician said that the snake venom had not been cured, but the emperor believed in Jing Yuchen's vision and believed that Ni Yueshan was not a person who would do anything wrong.
After being forced to cooperate, many people were frightened and started crying, some fainted on the spot, some even started cursing, and some were knocked unconscious and then forced to cooperate.
However, as more and more people tried, Ni Yueshan still hadn't targeted any suspicious person.
She frowned. It seemed that the murderer was not among them. Then it must have been done by the guards and servants of the hunting ground?
Ni Yueshan crossed his arms over his chest. After the last test was over, Qingdie came over and shook her head at Ni Yueshan. Ni Yueshan then said to everyone present, "Alright, the test is over. You can all go!"
Although Jing Chengzhi had proven his innocence first, he still didn't leave. He stared at Ni Yueshan intently and questioned, "The Crown Princess went to such great lengths to mobilize such a large army, even going so far as to ask the Emperor to grant you permission to act so recklessly. I wonder what the outcome will be? Did you frighten everyone present for nothing? And the Crown Princess just dismissed them like that. Isn't that rather disingenuous?"
Ni Yueshan simply said, "Finding the murderer not only clears those present from suspicion, but also eliminates potential safety risks for everyone. I feel that this Crown Princess doesn't need to explain anything, let alone feel any apology. This Crown Princess has wasted her time doing all this for you. Isn't that sincere enough?"
After saying this indifferently, Ni Yueshan turned around and walked away, too lazy to say another word to Jing Chengzhi.
Qingdie followed behind Ni Yueshan and said worriedly, "Crown Princess, the prince has tried it, but to no avail. What if everyone else has tried it too?"
"Then try another method. This Crown Princess is not afraid of offending anyone!"
Ni Yueshan's frown was very serious. Qingdie sighed helplessly. At this time, a maid came over happily and reported to Ni Yueshan: "Crown Princess, the Prime Minister's wife has woken up!"
Ni Yueshan hurried to the tent. Miao Yuan was being served by servants, feeding her medicine. Seeing Ni Yueshan coming in, Miao Yuan forced herself to speak: "Crown Princess, I heard that you were framed..."
