Chapter 132:-for-tat
Yu's calm voice came, and Su Zhao's gaze was still on Zi Zhan.
"Concubine Ben confirmed that she had never gone out."
Zi Tan listened to Yu's words, and his folded hands shook and calmed down.
What are you afraid of?! Everything is with the princess, there will be no problem.
Zi Sandalwood quickly went through everything that happened in the house in his mind, and only after making sure that nothing was missing did he look up at Su Zhao calmly.
"What Niangniang said, Weichen shouldn't have questioned it, but today's questions and answers should be written into the file and submitted to the emperor, so Weichen has to be cautious."
"This concubine understands Lord Xiaosu's loyalty, and she doesn't care about it."
Yu thought it was time to end now, but he didn't expect Zi Sandalwood's hand to be suddenly grabbed by Su Zhao.
"Ahh Xiao Su... Master Su, you ...... You let go, it's not in order. ”
The expression that Zi Sandalwood had just stabilized shattered in an instant, her pretty face turned red, and she struggled twice, but she was firmly grasped by the man's big hand and could not be withdrawn.
"Lord Xiao Su, although His Royal Highness King Shen is deceased, you are so presumptuous now, you can't help but take me as a princess too seriously!"
Yu Shi separated the chopsticks, but still sat in the armchair, coldly watching the man's palm that appeared by the screen firmly grasped Zi Sandalwood's wrist.
"As an official of the Criminal Department, Weichen was ordered to find out the truth about King Shen's murder, so naturally he couldn't let go of any suspicious person, and Niang Niang just said that he wouldn't be careful, why is he so unhappy now?"
"Lord Xiao Su, is this suspicious of the concubine's personal maid Zi Sandalwood? Master Su should have taught you the truth of catching traitors and catching doubles, and taking thieves for stolen goods, right? I don't know what evidence Lord Xiao Su has? The crime of slandering the imperial concubine is not small, this concubine heard that Lord Xiao Su has made a marriage contract, and even his fiancée has to be involved in this crime, is Lord Su still lacking in teaching his son? ”
Yu Shi said a few unhurried words, and the red sandalwood slowly calmed down, it is impossible to convict without evidence, and the princess will sue for slander again, and she will not be able to eat and walk away.
Su Shangshu has never dealt with these princesses, but his understanding of women is not weak, and he is entangled with the nonsense in the family, and he is one head and two big, and now the woman his son is still a princess.
Su Shangshu silently grabbed Su Zhao's shoulder, and told him forcefully that he had invisible support for him.
Su Zhao didn't really expect Su Shangshu to show his attitude to help him from the beginning, he was going to earn a reputation for his future wife and children, and Su Zhao didn't want Su Shangshu to jump out and steal the limelight.
I was always said to be a nerd before, but if I play well today, it will be famous, and Tong Manji's admiration for herself will only be more, and when I think of the lively, cheerful and innocent fiancée, Su Zhao's fighting spirit is high.
"Don't worry, princess, Wei Chen has doubts and can't get an answer here, I'm afraid I have to invite the red sandalwood girl to go to the criminal department for tea."
When it comes to threats, who wouldn't?
Sure enough, as soon as Su Zhao's words came out, Yu Shi shut up, and Zi Tan stopped struggling, allowing Su Zhao to raise his hand in front of him.
"The red sandalwood girl has a lot of medicinal fragrance that can't be hidden, but she knows medical skills?"
"Yes, the slave knows a little about medical science, and she is the only medical girl among the princess's maids."
"Weichen knows how sought-after a maid who knows how good a doctor is, no wonder Niangniang values the red sandalwood girl so much."
Su Zhao still lacked some key supporting evidence at the moment, so he could only delay time as if he was chattering, looking forward to the person who went to the Tai Hospital to get the record to come back soon.
Yu Shi frowned, deaf to the sycophants in Su Zhao's words.
"Does Lord Xiao Su have any opinion of the Rosewood Society's medical skills? What does this have to do with the murder of the prince? ”
"Niangniang should know that the cause of the prince's death is chronic poisoning, which has always been a medical poison family, the prince comes to this backyard every day, and Weichen reasonably suspects it......"
"It's ridiculous! Where are you suspecting red sandalwood when you say this, you might as well directly say that you suspect that this concubine poisoned and murdered the prince! ”
"Niangniang, Weichen doesn't mean this, Weichen ......"
Su Zhao's words were interrupted by Su Shangshu patting the back of his hand, Su Zhao put down the hand holding Zi Sandalwood's wrist and looked at Su Shangshu, only to see him looking out of the house.
A person hurriedly ran in and handed in a booklet like an account book, Su Zhao quickly flipped through it, and had a number in his heart, and his gaze at Zi Zhan was more subtle.
"Every ten days, the palace sends the imperial physician on duty to ask the princess and the princess for peace and security, and the minister sent someone to the hospital to get the prince's pulse, and found an interesting thing. Bother Niangniang to solve her puzzles, why in the past half a year, Niangniang's peace pulse notes have been different from time to time? The font is from a woman's hand at first glance. ”
"Rosewood has always taken care of the concubine's body, and sometimes the imperial doctor is unlucky, it is inconvenient to diagnose the pulse of the concubine, and it can't be delayed more, so the concubine will ask the princess sandalwood to write the pulse case and send it to the hospital, what's wrong?"
"It's okay to do it occasionally, but it's happened frequently in the past six months, isn't it a bit too coincidental?"
Yu's answer was not wrong, Su Zhao chased after him just to let Yu show more of his feet, and just now Su Zhao found another suspicious point.
"Can Rosewood Girl explain why your fingernails are cracked?"
Zi Tan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at his fingers along Su Zhao's gaze, Su Zhao didn't say that he didn't know that his nails were cracked.
As a unique medical woman in front of the princess, the status of red sandalwood is the highest in the entire princess's hospital, no dirty work is tiring and heavy work, and the most medicinal materials are checked every day, and after making sure that they are correct, they can personally stare at the fire, and then wait for the princess to take medicine.
In such days, Rosewood's hands are actually more like the master's, and the nails are well maintained, not like an ordinary maid at all.
"As a maid, where can I take care of my nails, some cracks are really normal, does Lord Xiao Su think this is also suspicious?"
"Yes, maybe the slave accidentally skimmed her nails while doing some work."
A glimmer of light flashed in Su Zhao's eyes, and he raised the corners of his lips and arched his hand at Yu Shi behind the screen.
"As Niangniang and Rosewood Girl said, this is a job that was accidentally broken, but judging from this crack, it should be new, and what heavy objects were grabbed to cause such a crack, but Fang Cai Niangniang has repeatedly confirmed that the two of you have not left this room today."
Su Zhao looked at the furnishings in the room lightly, and after looking around, his eyes still fell on Zi Zhan's face, and he looked at her with an inquiring expression.
"I wonder what heavy object in this room the rosewood girl grabbed from? If it really matches, it can be used as evidence that the Rosewood Girl and the princess have not left the house for half a step. ”
The Yu family behind the screen couldn't see anything, but the red sandalwood in front of him was obviously short of breath, and his lips were about to be bitten without knowing it.
