When I arrived at Wei Ya's bedroom, I heard a woman sobbing.

These are the maids who entered Da Qi with Weiya.

When the maids saw someone coming in at the door, they quickly stood up to greet them.

Gu Yunru saw that their eyes were filled with tears and they were mumbling something, but she could tell from their expressions that they hoped the man in front of them would stand up for their princess and find out the real murderer who killed the princess.

"Ahem, sorry to interrupt me. Is there anyone among you who can speak Mandarin?" Gu Yunru suddenly asked, and everyone stopped crying. Everyone looked at each other, confused.

At this moment, Rong Zhen suddenly uttered a sentence in pure frontier dialect. Gu Yunru then remembered that he grew up in the frontier since he was a child, fighting with the enemy on horseback, and at the same time he could understand the meaning of their words. Why didn't she think of this?

Seeing Rong Zhen talking to these girls smoothly, Gu Yunru breathed a sigh of relief and took this opportunity to go into the room and take a closer look.

Gu Yunru looked around carefully and did not find anything suspicious.

I think Cheng Shaoyuan's people have already searched here. Since the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple did not find any suspicious points here, it means that there is no way to continue investigating this place.

After leaving with Rong Zhen, Gu Yunru looked listless and could not muster any interest.

"How is it? Any clues?" Rong Zhen asked in a low voice with concern.

"There is no clue. It seems that even God is not helping me this time." Gu Yunru lowered her eyelids dejectedly. When passing by the imperial kitchen, she suggested to go inside and take a look.

Gu Yunru wanted to find out which ingredient was poisoned, or if someone took the opportunity to poison the cake after it was formed.

"Did you two really never leave the cake for a moment?" Rong Zhen asked weakly.

"I'm not sure about this. I should ask Qing Xing."

Gu Yunru suddenly had an idea, snapped her fingers, and looked at him eagerly, "Please arrange for Qingxing and I to meet again."

"Um."

Soon, it was dark.

Gu Yunru switched back with Qingshuang, and indeed saw Qingxing in the second half of the night.

"Princess!" Qingxing came forward excitedly and hugged her in her arms.

"Good Qingxing, I'm sorry for making you suffer." Gu Yunru patted her on the back. Looking at the scars on her body that had not healed yet, he felt so sad.

"Princess, it doesn't matter if others don't believe me, but Princess, you can't doubt me. The princess and I have no grudges, and I have no reason to harm her."

Qing Xing has been tortured like a ghost these past few days. Fortunately, the prince suddenly appeared and took her away from the prison. Otherwise, she would have suffered an unknown amount of inhuman torture.

"I understand. I believe you. You must be innocent. It's just that some people don't believe me and I can't do anything about it. But Qingxing, think carefully. Have you ever left the cake?"

Qing Xing wiped her eyes and carefully recalled the scene of making the cake with the princess. She helped out at the time and had to leave several times to collect materials, but the time was very short.

"The princess said you wanted to look for truffles, so I went to the backyard and wasted half an hour."

Qing Xing then barely remembered what had happened at that time.

"Half an hour? But from my perspective, you were only away for a short while, and then came back, but you didn't bring the truffle back."

What happened during that time? If Qing Xing's words were true, then she had indeed never come back. When she came back the second time, she had brought back truffles and had completed her instructions.

"But I remember that I did come back after I got the truffles. I didn't run back beforehand. Princess, did you remember it wrong?"

Rong Zhen sat aside listening to the conversation between the two with a calm expression on his face. Suddenly he realized something and slowly looked up.

"Is it possible that the person who came back was not Qing Xing, but someone disguised himself?"

"Disguise?" Gu Yunru's heart trembled. If this was really the case, then they had to find the culprit hiding in the crowd. However, since this person was so fond of disguise, it would not be easy to catch him.

Qing Xing's face turned pale, and her lips couldn't stop trembling. She grabbed Gu Yunru's hand and said, "Princess, you must seek justice for this servant."

"Don't worry, I will." Gu Yunru patted her hands and asked Rong Zhen to send Qingxing back first. She spent the night here safely.

The Queen Mother had not eaten or drunk for several days and nights because of Viya's incident and fell seriously ill. The Emperor and others were waiting outside the palace.

Gu Junyao specially asked someone to make a bowl of ginseng soup and came to visit the empress dowager. Seeing the emperor standing by with an unhappy expression on his face, she silently lowered her eyelids.

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your body." Gu Junyao said softly beside him, looking at him from time to time with her charming eyes.

"I know. Thank you for your help, my Lord. You can go back first."

"kindness."

Gu Junyao led his men to the vicinity of the Imperial Garden. He listened to Lan'er's words and snorted coldly.

"As expected, Ah Chou is very impeccable in her work. Now everyone is pointing the finger at Gu Yunru. I guess she won't be able to escape the blame this time."

"Yes, we still have to congratulate Miss. The emperor did seem quite angry when Princess Weiya died."

"Well, I won't say any more. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. Letting them continue investigating is like a headless fly. They will never be able to find the real murderer."

Gu Junyao sneered, and the eunuch next to her slowly raised his head. This was Gu Yunru. She had wanted to find some inspiration in the imperial garden, but she accidentally heard her words and frowned curiously. Could it be that the princess's affairs were related to her? Late at night, Gu Junyao asked Lan'er to extinguish the candle. She lay on the bed and slept with her clothes on. She vaguely heard a woman crying. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw a woman in white clothes and disheveled hair standing by the bed. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly sat up.

"Who are you?!" Gu Junyao clutched the quilt tightly, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Who am I? Don't you know? The cake is really delicious. Would you like to have one?"

The woman's voice was erratic, sounding like a man or a woman and difficult to tell. She produced a piece of cake from somewhere and slowly fed it to her mouth. Gu Yunru's pupils dilated with fright and she quickly shrank into the corner beside the bed and knelt down in front of her.

"Viya...you are Viya..." Gu Junyao was so scared that her face turned pale. The woman in white in front of her laughed eerily, like a loud noise passing through the desolate night sky.
