"Your Highness......"

Shen Xihe was about to say something when there was a light cough outside, which meant that someone was coming, and she immediately closed her eyes.

Xiao Huayong also got up and walked out with Sui Axi, and as soon as he walked out of the inner hall, he met Emperor Youning, and naturally it was another salute.

"How's Zhaoning?" Emperor Youning asked.

Xiao Huayong glanced at Sui Axi, and Sui Axi hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the county lord is fine, the poison has been resolved, and it will be cured in a few days." ”

Emperor Youning nodded, and took the medicine bottle from Liu Sanzhi's hand: "Is this poison in Zhaoning?" ”

Sui Ah Xi still lowered his eyebrows and said: "The poison in the county lord of Your Majesty is strychnine, and the grass people don't know what poison is in the medicine bottle." ”

Emperor Youning handed the medicine bottle to Sui Axi, he had already met the imperial doctor who treated Shen Xihe before he came in, and the imperial doctor also said that it seemed to be strychnine, but the medicine bottle was the poison of strychnine.

Sui Ah Xi took it respectfully with both hands, opened the medicine bottle and carefully distinguished: "The bottle is indeed strychnine." ”

"This medicine fell from the Anling palace maid?" Emperor Youning asked.

"Son...... I didn't see ......" Xiao Huayong told the truth, he was impulsive in front of Shen Xihe at that time, and there were many people around him.

"Your Majesty, it's what the little girl saw." Xue Jinqiao stepped forward and saluted, "The little girl saw the princess fall, the palace maid supported her, and the medicine bottle fell with her, and the bumps on it came from this, not only the little girl saw it, but also the second lady of the Pingyao Hou Mansion." ”

Yu Sanning saw the maid who handed the medicine bottle to Princess Anling, Yu Sanning was good at dancing with long sleeves, since she won Yu Sangzi's favor, she took her in and out with her, Yu Sanning also mingled with the nobles of Kyoto, but the highest status she could make friends with was the girl of the prince's mansion, and the girls with titles like the princess and county lord could not get acquainted.

Finally, there was an opportunity, she didn't expect that it was poison, and thought it was something like incense or cold medicine carried by the palace maid around the princess, so she took the initiative to send it.

When His Majesty summoned her for questioning, she had no choice but to say: "Back to Your Majesty, the little girl only saw that the medicine bottle was rolling from the palace maid of Princess Anling, so she mistakenly thought it was the thing of the palace maid next to the princess, and she did not see it fall from the princess's palace maid with her own eyes. ”

This can not only explain why she sent the medicine bottle directly, but also not offend Princess Anling.

Shen Xi and Yuan had no intention of dealing with Princess Anling, it didn't matter what they said or how His Majesty judged. The more Your Majesty defends An Ling, the better, the more it can be a reason why she does not dare to kill the princess.

Sure enough, after asking around, Emperor Youning was suspicious about the source of this thing, and he couldn't conclude that it was Princess Anling who hastily ended the matter, and everyone thought that Shen Xihe, who was used to being strong, would make trouble, and she was very strong against Princess Shangchangling and Princess Yangling, and the same was true for slapping Princess Anling last time.

Princess Anling was defended by His Majesty and raised her chin proudly.

For reason, Xiao Huayong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter ...... Can it be left to the child to investigate...... It is true that the county lord was poisoned...... It can't be due to insufficient evidence...... Ignore it. ”

When An Ling heard this, she looked at Xiao Huayong very defensively, she was worried that she would be framed again.

Emperor Youning pondered for a moment; "The matter will be handed over to the prince for thorough investigation."

An Ling wanted to speak and stopped, but was finally taken away by Emperor Youning, and the poisoning happened, and the spring banquet naturally could not be held, but fortunately, the banquet had come to an end, everything that should have been done had been done, and everyone left with great expectations.

Xiao Huayong personally sent Shen Xihe back to the county lord's mansion, and he stayed in the county lord's mansion on the pretext of taking care of it.

"How long will Your Highness stay?" Shen Xihe looked at Xiao Huayong, who was at ease as if he was in her house, and found her banana leaf and beard chair to lie down comfortably, with a comfortable posture and a lazy feeling.

"Yoyo is poisoned, everyone knows that I love Yoyo, if I don't accompany me until sunset, how can I show that I am affectionate?" Xiao Huayong hung up and made Shen Xihe want to laugh at him.

"Didn't Your Highness take an errand and want to find out who poisoned me for me?" Shen Xihe sent a direct order to expel the guest, "Your Highness should be behaving no matter how bad it is." ”

"I'm naturally going to make a show, but I'm not in a hurry." Xiao Huayong said in a leisurely manner, "Yo You always let me have a meal to eat, which is the way of hospitality." ”

Shen Xihe: "Do you have the consciousness of being a guest?" ”

"Self-...... No. Xiao Huayong's smile was even more owed, and his eyes became ambiguous again, "I want to be the master." ”

"Then go hungry." Shen Xihe threw down this sentence and turned around and went back to his room.

Xiao Huayong chased after him for a while, Shen Xihe ignored him, he wandered for a while, and just when Shen Xihe felt that he was about to stalk again, he suddenly changed his mind: "Hey, Yoyo doesn't wait to see me, I'll go." ”

Shen Xihe looked at him suspiciously, he said that he would stay until the lost dusk, Shen Xihe didn't think it was a joke, and suddenly changed his mind for no reason, so Shen Xihe couldn't think about it too much.

Xiao Huayong looked lonely: "I'll come to see Yoyo another day." ”

Seeing Xiao Huayong leaving, waiting for a moment and not coming back, Shen Xihe walked to the door and asked Pearl who was guarding the door: "Are you really leaving?" ”

Pearl immediately went to the front yard to make sure that Xiao Huayong really came out of the gate of the county lord's mansion: "It's really gone." ”

Shen Xihe felt that something was wrong: "How could he be like this today...... Normal? ”

The adjective of the county lord made Pearl bow her head and endure a smile, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was abnormal in the eyes of the county lord in the past.

Shen Xihe pondered for a moment, feeling that there must be a demon when something goes wrong, and Xiao Huayong must be thinking about what kind of moth he is thinking about.

She waited for a long time, and Xiao Huayong didn't come back when she used the evening meal, and there was news from the palace that Xiao Huayong had really returned to the East Palace.

"Could it be that I am living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?" Shen Xihe couldn't help but have self-doubt.

This suspicion was completely shattered until she finished washing and was ready to go to sleep, glancing at her sewing basket.

She strode over there, flipped through it, and found that a handkerchief was missing, and the one embroidered with fairy silk was gone!

Originally, it was made casually to pass the time with pearls, and after embroidery, Shen Xi and the pulp washed and dried the incense and kept it here, she didn't plan to use it, so she put it at will, she could see it every day in the past, but today it is gone!

She already had a vague guess in her heart, but she still didn't want to think of the dignified prince as a thief.

"Hongyu, when was the last time you saw the handkerchief embroidered with immortal silk in my house?" Hongyu was in charge of Shen Xihe's house, and Shen Xihe directly called Hongyu to ask.

"Before the county lord went out to the Hibiscus Garden today, the maid was still there." Hongyu was very impressed, because she saw it every day, "Is it gone?" No one dares to break into the county lord's house, will it be short-lived? ”
