After hearing this, Mrs. Gu fell silent.

Then, he spoke calmly.

"Are you sure the tongue is gone?"

"That's what Madam Feng said."

Sister-in-law Liu added a sentence, and when Du Jingyi heard Mrs. Gu say this, his eyes suddenly became sharp. Could it be...

After exchanging a glance with Madam Gu, they both understood each other's thoughts.

The person who could cause the Fourth Prince's wife to die without a tongue must have discovered some secret in the palace, and even went so far as to throw dirty water on her in order to divert everyone's attention.

Everyone's mind was focused on whether she had a hidden illness or not, but they ignored the real cause of her death.

Isn't this what the people in the palace love to do the most? For some reason, Madam Gu suddenly remembered what Empress Guo had said, and she secretly wondered in her heart whether this matter was related to the elixir of immortality?

When she thought that it might be Queen Guo who sent someone to do it, Madam Gu's expression became much more complicated. After all, there was no going back. That good child had now become a person with bloody hands.

I was filled with admiration.

Du Jingyi didn't know what Madam Gu was thinking, but he had a pretty good idea of ​​what she was thinking, for example, maybe she had run into something she shouldn't have, so she had to die.

But the inexplicable disappearance of the prince's wife was likely to arouse suspicion, so he simply went all out and created such a thing to divert everyone's attention.

In this way, they can fish in troubled waters.

What kind of water is this? What kind of fish is this? Du Jingyi had no idea at the moment.

Sister-in-law Liu didn’t think about all this and just said “Amitabha”.

"Good and bad fortune are unpredictable. A person who was alive and well a few days ago is now lying in a cold coffin. It is really sad."

After a long sigh, Madam Gu no longer had any desire to keep the two of them.

So he let them go back, and he blew out the lights and went to sleep, but he tossed and turned on the bed, wondering whether he should go to the palace. In Xitang Courtyard, Du Jingyi did not fall down as soon as he returned. Instead, he called the inner spy and asked about what happened today.

What they said was exactly the same as what Madam Feng said, which made Du Jingyi even more puzzled.

"Check carefully. What kind of people did the Fourth Prince's wife come into contact with, what places did she go to, or what medicine did she take in the month before her death? Check everything."

"Yes, Madam."

The spy that Shang Ji left for her was originally responsible for investigating these sinister matters, so it was not a difficult task for them, it just took some time.

After the scout left, Cherry went forward to help her undress and wash, then said something with a little concern.

"Does Young Madam really have to wade into this muddy water? If there really is another reason for the death of the Fourth Prince's wife, will our General's Mansion be implicated by investigating this matter?"

Cherry's words made Du Jingyi silent for a moment.

It is undeniable that this situation is possible, but when she thought of the looks between Wei Jialian and the Fourth Prince today, her heart began to beat fast, and she always felt that this matter was related to the Wei family.

The reason why she didn't let the internal spy investigate the relationship between the Wei family and the Fourth Prince's wife was that she didn't want to come to a conclusion right away and ignore other things. So, speculation is speculation, and the final result must be considered.

"On the surface, this matter has nothing to do with our General's Mansion, but without the Fourth Prince's princess, the harem will surely be in turmoil. I think the relationship with the Pingding Marquis' Mansion will also be somewhat strained. In such a mess, who knows if someone will aim a hidden arrow at the Eastern Palace? Since the general is the Eastern Palace's confidant, and we all respect the Crown Prince, we should be as cautious as possible."

Yingtao didn't know much about the affairs of state, so she could only listen to the arrangements of her young mistress. She didn't say anything more. After helping her wash up, she turned off the lights.

This night was destined to be a restless night.

The news of the Fourth Prince's wife's death became a hot topic of discussion in the streets of Ancheng for the next few days, and the sound of mournful cries could be heard from the Fourth Prince's mansion every day, causing many passers-by to sigh with emotion.

The Fourth Prince and his wife were once a perfect match that everyone envied. It is truly a pity that they are now separated forever.

Just like when the Princess of Fu and the Prince of Fu passed away, the Prince of Fu was said to have deep love as deep as the sea, but unfortunately, the truth is that his love was as cheap as grass.

On the second day after the seventh day after the death of the Fourth Prince's Concubine, Du Jingyi was sitting at home and having fun with Tai Ge'er when he heard that the Third Prince's wife had come to ask for a meeting.

"Why is she here?"

"He said he went to the manor to visit the people of the fifth house, and came here specifically to talk to the young lady."

Du Jingyi was a little impressed. She was very quick and efficient. She had already done what she had just said, so he said to Yingtao.

"Go ahead and invite me."

"Yes, ma'am!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

When Sanlang's wife arrived, they happened to see wet nurse Fu taking Tai Ge'er away. Du Jingyi explained with a smile.

"The child is a little sleepy. I'll ask the nurse to take him downstairs to sleep for a while. Third sister-in-law, just sit down. There's no need to be polite."

"You are too polite, Madam. I am not shy about it."

Then he sat opposite Du Jingyi, with a serious look on his face, and started talking about things on the farm.

"Two days ago, I went to the farm to visit my second aunt. She is really not doing well now. She is relying on the medicine to stay alive. She is unconscious for most of the day."

"How come?"

"She has a little maidservant by her side. She seems to be very clumsy. I guess the Fifth House doesn't want to take good care of Second Aunt. I heard that she even prepares meals casually."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi's previous thoughts became more confirmed.

I'm afraid they thought that Mrs. Guo was too talkative and told others about Shang Qinnan's affairs, so they didn't even leave her a chance to live.

"If Second Aunt is like this, then what about Seventh Sister? Is she also not going to make it?"

"This is really strange. The people in the farm said that the seventh sister is also not well. Now I can't even see her. I wanted to visit her, but they tried to stop me, so I didn't get to see her."

"oh?"

"They said they had a contagious disease and couldn't see anyone, but I saw that the people in the village didn't take any protective measures. I don't know if they were telling the truth or just lying to me!"

Of course I am lying to you, Du Jingyi thought to himself.

But he still pretended to be surprised and said.

"Have you invited the doctor?"

"They said they invited him, but the doctor said there wouldn't be much left for him to survive."
