"What, are you saying that someone framed you and dropped the medicinal herbs? How could this be, weren't you there to watch?" Zhao Mingchen asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I was there to watch, but not all the time. There was nothing wrong with this herb when I was there, but I was out of the mansion many times, and later complained about the distribution of pills outside, and the production process was all supervised by the prefect's wife. ”

"Are you saying that the prefect's wife did it?" asked the prince.

"It's hard to say, after all, the prefect's wife doesn't recognize medicinal materials, and she feels that every medicinal material looks about the same. But when she first purchased it, Yueniang did give the prescription to the prefect's wife and asked her to buy it.

"Go, call the prefect's wife. Zhao Mingchen instructed the people around him.

After a while, the prefect and his wife were called over, and seeing that Yueniang was also there, they probably knew what was going on. Shouting that you are wronged.

The prince had a cold face, "What have you wronged? I haven't asked you anything." ”

"Didn't Miss Fu say it, saying that this matter has something to do with me, because Miss Fu had already asked me once before, and I said that I really didn't know about Ang, and asked the prince to investigate. ”

Zhao Mingchen looked at her with a dark face and asked, "Then let me ask you, is this prescription given to you by Yueniang, and you want to go and purchase medicinal materials?" Zhao Mingchen asked.

Mrs. Prefect nodded, "That's right, this prescription was indeed given to me by Miss Fu, and I also went to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine according to this prescription." However, I asked the procurement office to go, because I didn't recognize the medicinal materials, and after the procurement office came back, I also specially asked Miss Fu to go to the warehouse to check it, and Miss Fu said that there was no problem. ”

Yueniang nodded, "That's right, I went to see it, but at that time, there were a lot of medicinal materials in the warehouse, and it was indeed no problem if you looked at it from the outside, but there were many of them inside." Yueniang said.

"I don't know about this, I look at those medicinal herbs are all the same, and they are not bad. And every time they come to the warehouse to get medicinal materials, they are all from the girl's mansion, and they don't understand what kind of medicinal materials they are, they just follow Miss Fu's method. The prefect said honestly.

When Zhao Mingchen heard him say this, he asked people to call for procurement, and what the procurement office said was not much different from what the prefect's wife said. Probably just asked a few little guys to go to the pharmacy to grab medicine, and they didn't recognize the medicinal materials, and they all came up according to the prescription.

So, that's what happened to the boss in the pharmacy?

After all, the Earth Binding Spirit and the Sanqi are really similar, could it be that there are not so many Sanqi in the store for a while, and the Earth Binding Spirit has a variety that cannot be sold, so he gave them the medicinal materials?

Most likely, it is.

"Go. , Check me, which pharmacy did you buy the medicine, check it now, !!" The prince said angrily, someone is doing something under his nose, if this matter can clear Yueniang's suspicion, it is naturally good, and he can't be blamed for this incident.

After all, they came out together, and if one person had an accident, even if he didn't blame the others, the credit or something would be lost. Not to mention that the emperor doesn't like him now, maybe he will blame him for why he let Yueniang and the girl go to study the medicinal materials of the plague, and he is not a doctor.

So as long as it is proved that Yueniang is innocent, Yueniang will also thank herself at that time.

"Yes. "The subordinate received an order to arrest and investigate. I took medicine in a total of five prescriptions, because either this flavor of medicine was insufficient, or that flavor of medicine was not.

In the end, two pharmacies were locked, but the owner of one of them closed his doors and ran away.

In this way, all the suspicion is on the owner of that store. Yueniang looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground, and always felt that something was strange, maybe she was suspicious, and there was always some conspiracy.

But in this way, if you can't find the boss, then all the problems are with the boss. Because Sanqi's medicinal materials are insufficient, he replaced them with earth-bound spirits, just to avoid making some silver taels.

But in this way, the boss can't be found, and there is no evidence that this matter has anything to do with the prefect's wife, after all, this evidence is broken here.

If Yueniang wants to clear her innocence, she must find the boss, and the prince also intends to help her clear her suspicions. After all, if this matter reaches the capital, it will not benefit anyone.

But no one can be found, so this matter can only be put aside for the time being.

The people outside were still making trouble, and Xie Bai forcibly suppressed it for a while, and finally quieted down for a while.

Yueniang was lying on the stone table in the courtyard alone, looking pitiful and in a very bad mood. Xie Bai walked over and comforted: "Don't be too sad, it's only when someone fanned the flames that those people are like this, you have done so many things for the people, everyone is looking at it." Xie Bai didn't want her to be so upset, and comforted her.

Yueniang lowered her head to the ground, and said sullenly: "I also know that I am not to blame for this incident, but I will inevitably blame myself in my heart, if I didn't run out of the game and Huaxi later, but stayed in the mansion and watched, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." ”

"It's not your fault, if you don't go out later, there won't be someone impersonating to get food, then there are still countless people who are starving to death, and I don't know how many people starved to death, so you just have merit in this matter, and there is no fault. And I really don't blame you for this, even if you left the mansion at that time, didn't you still let people watch, and even let the doctor watch and help. ”

Doctor???

Yueniang suddenly came to the spirit, yes Ang, there is still a doctor in the mansion, didn't he find anything?

Yueniang looked at Xie Bai and said, "Xie Bai, you said that the doctor was in the mansion at the time, did he find anything, or did he find out, who forced him to say it?" Yueniang was only suspicious, and wanted to find out the clues, so she was a little sick and rushed to the doctor, because she knew, let alone the doctor, even if she was present, she might not be able to tell the difference.

Because there are so many medicinal herbs, only one of them has been replaced, and the length is still the same. If it weren't for something special, she wouldn't have noticed.

"Do you doubt that the doctor knows about this?" Xie Bai asked her.

Yueniang shook her head, "I'm not sure, because if that medicinal herb is not carefully identified, I won't pay attention to it at all." And these herbs were all caught according to my prescription before, who would have thought that there would be any problems. ”

"Have you ever asked the doctor before?" Xie Bai asked.

Yueniang shook her head, "Because I found a doctor from outside, I thought that it would be more reliable than the original doctor in the house, after all, the doctors in the mansion all served the prefect in unison, the prefect's wife, or those concubines, sons, and young ladies, naturally they didn't want to do these jobs, and the doctors I found myself could rest assured, so I found a doctor from outside to help." Later, after getting the pills, I naturally released the doctor out of the mansion, so I didn't ask the doctor when I investigated before. Yueniang said.

"Anyway, since you haven't asked, just ask, don't let go of a clue, maybe you can find something, are you right?" In fact, Xie Bai didn't want her to be so uncomfortable, so he just diverted his attention.

Yueniang nodded, feeling that what Xie Bai said made sense, no matter what, find the doctor.

As a result, I searched and searched, and the owner who found the prescription had died outside the city, and all the clothes on his body were stripped of, and the finances he brought were gone.

It looks like a refugee did it, robbing the finances.

But why kill people, is it because the pharmacy owner struggles to resist?

When eating, Yueniang was not very happy.

In the past few days, the prince has also been concerned about her affairs, but he didn't expect to look for it, and people will find it and die.

Qin Qianman's voice is gradually getting better, at least she can communicate normally, but she has not acted in provoking Yueniang in the past few days. The dinner table was surprisingly quiet, all because of Yueniang's troubles, it seemed that the civilians had been suppressed, but they didn't know how to spread into the capital, the emperor heard this, Long Yan was furious, accusing them of not doing well, and even took the prince to tell him.

After all, the mountain is far away, and he doesn't know what's going on, but he just listened to one side's words.

Therefore, the prince wrote several notes to the emperor in a row to show the current situation, and also said a lot of good things for Yueniang, so anyway, Yueniang thanked the prince for this time.

But now that this matter has been passed into the palace, it will definitely catch the mastermind behind the scenes, if there is no mastermind behind the scenes, there will be no one who incites remarks now, and if it is suppressed, it will be bounced, and if it is pressed, it will be drummed.

If the pharmacy owner did it, if so, then no one should have made such a fuss.

Now they still haven't announced it to the public, but Yueniang silently bears this.

Qin Qianman picked up vegetables for the prince, and said worriedly: "The prince doesn't have to bother, presumably the emperor will carefully investigate this matter after receiving the fold, and will give justice to the innocent, and will also let the guilty who deserve it get retribution." After speaking, he glanced at Yueniang tightly, as if she was the heinous person.

The prince didn't speak, just mumbled.

Qin Qianman continued: "Anyway, the emperor is still in the capital, so I don't know much about the situation here, and when we return to the capital to report carefully, the emperor will definitely reward the crown prince at that time." ”

"That's all for later. The prince frowned and said, not to mention whether he will be rewarded or punished after returning to the palace, the public opinion of the people will not go down, but it will become more and more intense, and it will not benefit anyone if it goes on like this.

There are even people who say that Yueniang is a witch, who deliberately let this flood break out, so that the people were killed and injured, and some say that Yueniang was sent by the capital, saying that they usually don't listen to the words of the court, so the court sent a witch to poison them, leaving only obedient people, anyway, all kinds of conspiracy theories, there are all kinds of conspiracy theories.

If no one teaches these words, Yueniang will not believe it.

Brain-blowing.

After all, they called her a fairy a few days ago, but these days she has become a demon girl in the world, and her tone changes so quickly that it is really terrifying.

"That's right, those are all things we did when we returned to the capital, but now, hey, they all say that this knows people and faces but doesn't know their hearts, and no one knows what they do on the face, what Xiao Jiujiu is fighting behind their backs, and they don't know what these individuals are doing. Qin Qianman said.

When she said this, it made Yueniang a little uncomfortable, maybe the prince didn't hear that this was referring to Sang scolding Huai, but Yueniang heard it, after all, this Qin Qianman said while looking at Yueniang, and she was so uncomfortable to see.

What does this mean, it is obvious that he is reminding the prince that he knows people and faces, and tells the prince to be careful of her.

So isn't this indirectly trying to say that she did these things?

Yueniang was very dissatisfied, and looked at Qin Qianman, "You said that you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart, I agree, prince, after all, you have to know that the closest person around you, Ang, may be far away." "Actually, Yueniang is just quick to speak, and she can't let Qin Qianman feel that she is too bullying.

What's more, after the prince reacts, he will still doubt himself more or less.

Yueniang doesn't like to be suspected by others now, and she can explain it clearly, why should she let herself suffer injustice.

"What do you mean by this???" Qin Qianman immediately became angry when he heard this, and his voice raised a few points.

Yueniang just wanted to provoke her, but she didn't expect her to be easily provoked.

After all, this is in front of the prince, and the prince can't be made to doubt himself, Qin Qianman also hurriedly said that she was messing around and talking nonsense.

Yueniang immediately changed her face to a very aggrieved face, "I'm just reminding you, why are you so excited, after all, you are not the only one close to the prince, and the person next to the prince's pillow may not be you, why are you so excited?"

"You !!!"

The prince was so noisy that he had a headache, "Can't you eat well for a while?" As soon as he finished saying this, everyone stopped talking. I don't know what's wrong, this Qin Qianman just sees that Yueniang doesn't deal with it, and the two of them seem to be half of the natural enemies.

Xie Bai clenched Yueniang's hand under the table, and then said: "Actually, Yueniang and Qin Qianman's words also make sense, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, they may talk and laugh on the face and put your heart into your heart, this may be some kind of conspiracy in private." ”

"What do you mean?" It's not that the prince can't hear what Xie Bai said, it's just that he knows that although Xie Bai doesn't like Qin Qianman, he won't open his mouth to say anything about her.

But now that he has said so, it is inevitable that people will be suspicious.

The prince glanced at the people on the table, Qin Qianman's face was embarrassed, and the prefect and the prefect's wife couldn't interject, so they had to eat in a sullen voice.

He knew that Xie Bai was not necessarily pointing at Qin Qianman, but it was very likely that he was the person at this table. Most of them are the prefect and the prefect's wife who are playing ghosts.

It's just that this prefect has been following him in recent days, but he hasn't found any small moves, and after being busy all the time, he is even more attentive than him.
