"Since she was sent by the princess, why did she have to bear the name of this king?" Xing Tianze squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the other party, his eyes flashed with suspicion, he had never tried to see through Tao Mingxi, could it really be that this matter had nothing to do with her?

"For convenience, of course." Tao Mingxi replied expressionlessly, without the slightest emptiness on his face: "If the soup is sent by the concubine, she may not drink it." Miss Xu listened to the words of the prince so much and put the prince's name on it, so as to ensure that it would not be wasted, right? ”

Tao Mingxi is really a bit far-fetched except for this reason, but when he speaks, he looks straightforward, with seriousness in his eyes.

Xing Tianze choked, his eyes staring at each other tightly, "Is it really just that simple?" ”

"If the prince wants to complicate things, there really is no way." Tao Mingxi replied.

Standing silently in place, staring at the other party for a long time, he didn't see any clues, and Xing Tianze subconsciously believed that Tao Mingxi would not do such a thing, so he was not embarrassed after all.

"Since this matter has nothing to do with the princess, what could be wrong?" Xing Tianze seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be asking the other party, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Although Tao Mingxi is not suspected, the truth of the matter still has to continue to investigate, not to mention that Xu Yan is the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if there is any accident in his mansion, he will definitely fall out with the Prime Minister, which will not benefit him.

Moreover, Xu Yan is indeed a sister-like existence to him, and he can't always ignore the safety of the other party!

"The soup was sent from the kitchen, so the prince might as well go over there and ask." Tao Mingxi said calmly, there was no trace of panic on his face, compared with the usual women who panicked when they encountered something, there was a rare sense of calmness.

"Hmm." So far, it can only be like this, Xing Tianze nodded, but after turning around, he said again: "The princess will come with you." ”

Tao Mingxi wanted to watch a good show, so he nodded immediately.

……

Kitchen.

All the people in the kitchen gathered together and were interrogated by Xing Tianze one by one, "Were there any suspicious people in the kitchen yesterday?" Or is there anyone who behaves strangely? ”

"No, no." I don't know if the cook was frightened, but when he replied, his voice was trembling, and he was not afraid.

Tao Mingxi found out the little maid who brought him soup yesterday and asked, "When you sent the soup to the palace yesterday, did any suspicious person touch it?" ”

The little maid faced the torture of the prince and the princess for the first time, and her face was in a hurry that could not be concealed, and she hurriedly shook her head, but after shaking her head, she thought of something again, and then nodded.

"Don't patronize and shake your head, open your mouth to answer this palace, is there or not?" Even if Tao Mingxi was a god, he couldn't see the meaning of the other party's action, so he frowned and asked.

"Yesterday, the side concubine came here, and she said that she was a little curious about those soups, so she lifted the lid and came to see it." The little girl replied honestly, she just forgot because she was too in a hurry, and now that she thinks about it, she naturally doesn't dare to deceive the other party.

"So, is it a good thing that Concubine Sun did?" Tao Mingxi sneered, and turned his head to look at Xing Tianze with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Xing Tianze was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, after all, although there was a reason for the incident, it was indeed Sun Yingru who he let go at the beginning, which caused the other party to have the opportunity to come out and cause trouble again.

Coughing lightly, Xing Tianze ordered in a calm voice: "Go and call Concubine Sun over." ”

Sun Yingru didn't expect things to break out so quickly, the moment she came over, she saw that Tao Mingxi had nothing to do, and she was a little puzzled at the moment, shouldn't she vomit and diarrhea at this time and lie in the dormitory weakly, what is going on with this energetic appearance now?

"What is Concubine Sun staring at the palace like this? Could it be that he did something wrong? Tao Mingxi's good-looking eyes met the other party's gaze, evoked a smile of unknown meaning, and asked.

Sun Yingru felt numb in the face of such a smile, but she still replied calmly: "Niangniang misunderstood, the concubine just looked at Niangniang's makeup today It seems a little strange, so I took two more looks." ”

"Oh? Is that so? Tao Mingxi raised his eyebrows, feeling ridiculous for the other party's clumsy excuse, but he didn't expose it, just looked at her quietly, his eyes seemed to be watching a clown acting.

Tao Mingxi could still sarcastically mock the other party so calmly, but Xing Tianze couldn't, he snorted coldly and said sharply: "Sun Yingru!" Are you guilty? ”

The voice full of majesty came into her ears, and Sun Yingru almost subconsciously shook her whole body, then looked at Xing Tianze with a pale face, and quickly knelt down: "The prince is angry, I don't know what is wrong with the concubine?" Let the prince be so angry. ”

"Humph! Do you still have to pretend now? Seeing the other party's weak expression and the gaze that didn't dare to look at him directly, Xing Tianze was almost certain that she had done it.

"Did you drug the soup that was sent to the princess yesterday?"

"What, what kind of medicine ......" The expression on Sun Yingru's face stiffened a little, and fine and dense cold sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead, and she said, "The concubine doesn't know anything." ”

"The maid has already identified you, do you still want to quibble?" Sun Yingru's lie was simply full of mistakes and omissions, and the expression on her face had completely betrayed her, Xing Tianze said coldly: "Anyone who sent dinner to the princess's bedroom yesterday can testify, but you are the only one who investigated before the soup was sent over, who else could you be the one who drugged?" ”

"The prince must have some misunderstanding......" Sun Yingru shook her head blankly, her back was full of sweat, wet and wet, and she smiled stiffly: "The concubine never left the palace yesterday, let alone came to the kitchen, and drugged the princess's soup." ”

"Haven't been?" Xing Tianze narrowed his eyes slightly, Sun Yingru is now confused by being frightened, right? Such a clumsy lie can be told, and it has already been proven, does she still want to quibble?

"This matter is true, if I don't believe it, I can also ask those cooks in the kitchen to prove the innocence of the concubine." Sun Yingru gritted her teeth, lowered her head and continued to speak, her face was serious, but she didn't dare to look at the eyes of the man in front of her.

"Then you guys, did Concubine Sun come here yesterday?" Xing Tianze didn't veto her words immediately, but in order to pay attention to the evidence, he still turned his head and asked those cooks.
