"My father held a small family banquet that day, and drank a few glasses of wine on the way, but he was not in good health, and he rested after drinking the medicine after returning to the room." UNNC pondered for a long time before slowly speaking.

"And then?"

"Later, a servant girl found out that her father had died in the room."

"There is no one around the Spirit King to serve?"

"The father's lunch break is not disturbed, and the maidservants are not in front of him, so ......"

"Hmph-" Xiao Guogong seemed to be very serious, got up from his seat, walked to the door, and said as he walked, "I want to see where the Spirit King rests?" ”

Ning Nuoyou was unexpected, stunned, Xiao Guogong didn't want to pay attention to her, casually pointed to the maid on the side, and ordered: "Take me and His Highness down." ”

The maid was stunned, her eyes looked at Ning Nuoyou, this action angered Xiao Guogong, and she sneered.

Along the way, Gan Shunhua became more and more restless, she always felt that something bad was happening, plus her right eyelid suddenly jumped non-stop, she kept stirring the handkerchief, she always did this when she was anxious and nervous.

"It's okay—" Yu Zhi held her hand and whispered.

Gan Shunhua naturally didn't appreciate it, twitched his hand, flicked his sleeves and took the first step to Luozhu Courtyard, where the Spirit King lived before his death.

"Why don't you go and pour tea!" Ning Nuoyou bent down, invited Gan Shunhua in, and ordered the maids on the side with a straight face.

"Yes."

"Don't-" Gan Shunhua stopped, she couldn't say why, she always felt that it seemed to be much colder here than other places, she felt a little hairy in her heart, and she just wanted to leave.

After she said this, everyone looked at her, she smiled very awkwardly, and explained, "This palace is not thirsty. ”

Yu Zhi looked at her uncomfortable appearance, and his heart was naturally clear, and he asked for Gan Shunhua: "Although it is almost summer, sitting here at the Spirit King, I feel much cooler than elsewhere." ”

"My father was afraid of the heat, so he had already ordered us to take out the ice cubes from last year's cellar to cool off." Ning Nuoyou replied, still a little dissatisfied in his heart, everyone knows that ice cubes are the most rare, and he finally saved some of them, and they all ran out for his father.

"It's too cold here, why don't you sit in a different place!" Ning Nuo saw that Gan Shunhua's face was pale, and proposed.

Gan Shunhua felt that this proposal really went to her heart, and was about to agree, but was said by Xiao Guogong: "What does this mean, Miss?" If the investigation is not at the scene, where are you going to investigate?" Gagged.

Ning Nuoyou's face turned black in an instant, her face was red, she was overwhelmed, and she was extremely embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about what's going on?" Gan Shunhua made a round of words.

"Your Highness." Ning Nuoyu saluted Gan Shunhua respectfully, "This is the ...... by my father's side."

"It's not your right to talk now!" Xiao Guogong glared at Ning Nuoyou and told her to shut up.

Everyone was silent, and some were gloating and preparing to watch a good show.

"If I'm not mistaken," Xiao Guogong raised his eyebrows, pointed to a servant girl beside Ning Nuoyou, and said, "You come and tell Your Highness what's going on, Su Mi'er." ”

"But Your Highness, Su Mi'er was not on duty at that time, she-" Ning Nuoyu interjected unwillingly.

"I don't know who is there at the scene now, I only know loyalty, I only know Su Mi'er's loyalty to the Spirit King, nothing else matters."

"Then Sumier!" Gan Shunhua knew that the story of this servant girl sacrificing herself to save the Spirit King had spread throughout the Star Kingdom, and it was perfect for her.

"Slave maid-" Su Mi'er was uneasy in her heart, looking at Ning Nuoyou's appearance, she was really miserable by Xiao Guogong.

"That day, it was the spirit king who held a family banquet, but the spirit king was not in good health, so he went back to the room to rest halfway, and the slave maid was ordered by the spirit king to clean up in the front hall. Su Mi'er was sweating, she didn't want to offend anyone, so she said vaguely, but she couldn't make people feel this way.

"Princess Ling is not at home, serving the King of Spirit to drink medicine is the eldest daughter of the family, Miss Ning......"

"You mean, the Spirit King withdrew halfway, and Miss Ning then shared a room with King Ning and served the Spirit King to drink medicine, and then the Spirit King died?" Xiao Guogong glanced at Ning Nuoyou.

"When the Spirit King drinks the medicine, can he have a servant girl with him?" Yu Zhi interjected.

"It's—no." Su Mi'er shook her head, and then seemed to think of something, and explained, "Your Highness doesn't know that the Spirit King is not allowed to have a second person present when taking medicine, slave maid...... The slave doesn't know why? ”

At this time, everyone's eyes all turned to Ning Nuoyou, because she was the most suspicious.

"And after that?" Gan Shunhua was a little impatient with her grinding.

"And then......" her gaze was a little evasive, and she lowered her head, "this—and then, at dinner, the two on duty noticed that something was wrong, and ventured in, and as a result, they saw ...... I saw the corpse of the Spirit King...... Corpse. ”

In the end, Su Mier actually cried, sobbing and unable to help herself, and everyone's eyes were full of pity.

"Get up!" Gan Shunhua was a little unbearable.

"Your Highness Xie—" Su Mi'er bowed to Gan Shunhua and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Miss Ning, tell me, what did you do after serving the Spirit King with medicine?" Gan Shunhua also felt that Ning Nuoyou was the most suspicious.

"After I served my father with medicine, my father said that he wanted to rest alone, so I withdrew and went to deal with the affairs of the house." Ning Nuoyu replied loudly, "How could I murder my own father? ”

"Miss Ning has thought about it a lot, His Royal Highness came to investigate the case, naturally he wanted to ask clearly, and he would not wronged anyone for no reason!" Xiao Guogong glanced at her contemptuously.

At this stalemate, a gray-clothed servant walked up to Xiao Guogong, whispered something in his ear, and then lowered his eyebrows and retreated.

"Your Highness," Xiao Guogong turned to Gan Shunhua and said, "The minister has sent someone to check the whereabouts of the people who had contact with the Spirit King in the days before the family banquet, and found that Miss Ning had been in contact with merchants from the Western Regions a week before the incident. ”

"The keel of the Western Regions is good for my father's illness...... I...... I'm just ......" UNNC was so anxious that his face turned red and he stammered when he spoke, which in the eyes of others, was a sign of weakness.

"Where's the keel?"

"The Spirit King is available?"

Facing Xiao Guogong and the princess's questioning, Ning Nuoyou seemed even more anxious, obviously, she had never encountered such a situation, "I...... It was originally given to his father on the day of the family feast, but his father did not accept it...... So ......"

"So you're going to add the keel to the potion as well?"

"It's the imperial doctor who said that this is more conducive to my father's recovery, you know, my father's health has not been very good."

"Miss Ning, I heard that this keel is very large and exclusive to the Western Regions. So—" Xiao Guogong dragged out his last note and looked at her with an inquiring gaze, "You should have the left!" ”

"If I want to test, I have nothing to say." Ning Nuoyou now knows her situation, the keel is collected by her, except for her, no one else knows, she is also full of confidence, and she is not afraid of testing anything.

"I'll go to the room and get it, everyone." Ning Nuoyou stood up, asked Gan Shunhua for instructions, and hurriedly went to the room.

"Sumier, you go get it." Xiao Guogong instructed the stunned maid on the side and glanced at her.

Su Mi'er is indeed a loyal servant, but she also has her own plans, she was not at the scene of the death of the Spirit King, and the murderer does not know who it is, and her good sister Shuang'er is afraid that she will be used as a scapegoat by Miss Ning to take over the errand, if she can push this matter to Miss Ning, the master of the Ning Mansion. Maybe Shuang'er will be able to save his life, but that's just one of them.

The second is that she is really loyal to the Spirit King, who has a good heart and saved her family's life. She also respects the character of the Spirit King, and it is normal for her to follow him and be loyal to him. And the person the Spirit King has loved in his life is a dusty woman, he can't give that woman a name during his lifetime, and even his favorite son can't inherit his title. Now that the Spirit King has encountered an accident, his last wish is his long-cherished wish, as long as he pulls that woman down, as long as she is accused of murdering the prince, then the title must be the young master's.

Thinking like this, her heart was a little firmer, and she held her purse tightly in her hand, and the bag of medicine in it melted when she entered the matter, and she would die if she tried.

"It has nothing to do with me who inherits the title in the Ning family, this move will indeed make Miss Ning feel wronged, but Miss Ning is the biggest suspect, so she has to do this. If Miss Ning is the real murderer, this move can make her confess as soon as possible; If it is not the real murderer, it can also lead to the real murderer, close the case as soon as possible, and His Royal Highness can return to the dynasty to restore his life. As for what you think and how you want to do it, that's your choice, and it has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with Your Highness. Xiao Guogong's words rang in her ears again last night, and her conscience seemed to have found an explanation and an outlet, and she had already made up her mind.

"Miss, give it to the slave!" Su Mi'er showed a timid look and stretched out her hand to Miss Ning, who had just taken out the keel box.

Su Mi'er was anxious, and accidentally touched Ning Nuoyou's hand, and the box fell to the ground with a "bang", and Su Mi'er was so frightened that she knelt down, "Miss, the slave doesn't have a heart." ”

Ning Nuoyou got angry when she saw this cheap maid, although she didn't bother to look at this kind of servant on weekdays, she thought she was noble because she saved the life of the Spirit King. Today, this Xiao Guogong is obviously against her, let this cheap maid follow, and the superintendent is secondary, I'm afraid it's to humiliate herself.

Ning Nuoyou was angry in his heart, he didn't speak, he didn't leave, he just stood quietly, wanting to wait for the qi to go before leaving, she didn't want to see this again, she didn't dare to beat this, if she did this, she would be pitiful in front of Her Royal Highness the Empress and Xiao Guogong to make a false complaint, she would be finished.

But it was this vacancy, which was also what Su Mi'er expected, she easily sprinkled the powder on the keel, completed her plan, and then reminded Ning Nuoyou: "Miss, don't let Your Highness wait." ”

With a blushing face, Ning Nuo Youtie squatted down and put the keel into the box and lid it, handed it to Su Mi'er, and let her walk in front while she stared at the box deadly.

"This ......," Su Mi'er felt the difference between dignity and inferiority.

"You are the great hero of our Ning family, and besides, you are holding a dragon bone, why bother to be polite." Ningnuo was slightly sarcastic, in fact she hated Sumiel walking in front of her, but she had to keep an eye on the box.

The keel resembles the roots of a tree, the whole body is yellow, there are many wrinkles and cracks on it, and it looks very the surface, but in fact it is hollow and very fragile inside.

There was nothing abnormal, she and Su Mi'er went to the front, and Gan Shunhua ordered Zhang Jiu to check the keel.

After trying it a few times in various ways, he said to Gan Shunhua: "Tell Your Highness, this keel is not poisonous. ”
