The butler said while recalling.

"After being rejected by me, the man was disappointed, but he didn't continue to pester him.

After he put down the gift, he got up and left.

I asked him to take the gift back, but he was unwilling, insisting that the gift was specially prepared for the prince.

I didn't think it would be nice to push him around for such a few things, so I didn't insist any longer.

I opened the gift box and took a look. In addition to a statue of Guanyin carved from white jade, there was also a set of tableware made of red jade.

Afterwards, I took these things to the princess to see.

The princess liked the table set quite a bit, so I asked someone to put it in the kitchen for later use. "

In ancient times, there was no such thing as high-temperature disinfection. For example, the tableware used for the first time was usually washed with water.

But ordinary water can't wash off the door in the solidified state.

When the housekeeper said this, he regretted so much that he couldn't help but shed tears.

"I didn't expect the tableware to be manipulated. It's my fault. I almost killed the princess!"

Like the maid, he almost became an accomplice in the death of Princess Ying in a state of complete ignorance.

Luo Yechen now knew the truth of the poisoning, but the anger in his heart was even more intense.

The intention of the real murderer behind the scenes is too sinister!

he asked gritted his teeth.

"What's the name of that jade merchant? Where does he live?"

The housekeeper wiped away tears and tried to keep calm: "The man said his name was Li Mao, and he brought it from the southwest, and lived in Tianwailou in the west of the city."

Tianwailou is a relatively well-known inn in Shengjing city. Because the inn has a good location and is surrounded by shops, most of the guests living there are businessmen who came to Shengjing to do business from other places.

It has been more than a month since Li Mao came to the palace to give gifts.

If we go to investigate at this time, it is very likely that the person has left Shengjing.

But Luo Yechen didn't give up and took people to Tianwailou in person.

He forced the shopkeeper of Tianwailou to take out the account book and read it page by page.

Looking through all the accounts in the past three months, I have not found a guest named Li Mao.

The shopkeeper and the guys also said that they had never received a guest named Li Mao.

Obviously, Li Mao had never been to Tianwailou at all.

Even Li Mao's name is fake.

This incident was a trap from the very beginning, in order to be able to send the set of cutlery to the British palace.

It's getting late.

Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi decided to return to the palace.

On the way back, the two mentioned that Princess Ying was poisoned.

Xiao Xixi asked, "Who do you think the poisoner would be?"

Luo Qinghan did not answer this question directly, but instead asked.

"What is the real purpose of the poisoner?"

The other party took pains to set up such a game, it must be a conspiracy.

Since no clues can be found, simply reverse the results from the results.

Xiao Xixi blurted out without thinking: "Naturally, it is to murder Princess Ying's mother and son."

Luo Qinghan: "Then what? What good does killing Princess Ying's mother and son do to the murderer behind the scenes?"

Xiao Xixi couldn't answer.

If King Ying has other concubines, then the biggest benefit of killing Princess Ying's mother and son is for the throne and favor.

But the backyard of Prince Ying's mansion was clean, not to mention a serious concubine's room, not even a single room.

This line of thinking is clearly not feasible.

Xiao Xixi thought for a while: "Is it for vendetta?"

Luo Qinghan: "I've never heard of Princess Ying's never-ending enemy."

Princess Ying grew up at the border gate, and had nothing in common with the noble ladies in Shengjing, so she didn't have any good friends in Beijing, but she didn't have any special enemies.

Occasionally, there are a few people who are not used to seeing her, but it is only a small contradiction, not to the point of poisoning and killing.

Vendetta also seems unlikely.

Xiao Xixi had a bitter face: "I can't think of it."

Luo Qinghan stretched out his hand to help her tuck the broken hair behind her ear, and said casually, "Let's make an assumption. Assuming that the poisoning was successful this time, and Princess Ying's mother and son were killed, what would be the consequences?"

Xiao Xixi: "If Princess Ying's mother and son die, the King of Ying must be crazy, and the Duke of Dingyuan will be very sad."

Luo Qinghan: "Yes, King Ying will go crazy. If someone comes to him and says that it is me who killed Princess Ying's mother and son, how do you think King Ying will react?"

Xiao Xixi was shocked: "Someone wants to take this opportunity to sow discord?"

The King of England was originally a carefree temperament, and he did things on impulse, and was easily exploited by others.

In the past few years, it was because of the fact that Princess Ying was tying him to the rope, which made him become a lot more honest and safe.

If the Queen of England is gone, the King of England will definitely disregard all status and the Princess will take revenge.

At that time, as long as someone creates a few pieces of evidence and leads the suspect to the emperor, the King of England will definitely take the bait.

Once the two brothers, the emperor and the British king, turned against each other and began to kill each other, the pool of water in the court would be completely muddled.

When the court is in chaos, the world will follow.

Luo Qinghan said expressionlessly.

"These are just my guesses. Maybe the real murderer behind the scenes really just went to Princess Ying. It's not as complicated as I thought."

Xiao Xixi: "Everything has to be prepared for the worst."

Luo Qinghan: "I will send someone to stare at the King's Mansion, and at the same time remind the King of Ying and the Duke of Dingyuan to pay more attention, so that no one behind the scenes can take advantage of it again."

Xiao Xixi thought for a while and couldn't help asking.

"How can the real culprit behind the scenes be sure that Princess Ying will use that set? What if she doesn't use that set? Isn't his plan in vain?"

Luo Qinghan said lightly: "What about the soup? For him, it's just a loss of a set of cutlery, but if the plan is successful, the benefits he will get will be huge."

Low risk and high reward, if it was him, he would not be able to resist giving it a try.

Xiao Xixi smacked her tongue: "This person's mind is deep enough."

Luo Qinghan said slowly: "If I am the real murderer behind the scenes, I will definitely prepare many plans like this. Maybe these plans will fail in the end, but as long as one succeeds, then I will earn blood."

Xiao Xixi: "Is this what the saying goes, cast a wide net and catch more fish?"

Luo Qinghan: "You can say that."

Xiao Xixi sighed quietly: "It's really not easy for you to be an emperor. You have to beware of being pulled off your horse at all times."

Luo Qinghan: "Fortunately, I have you by my side."

The two looked at each other intently.

There is a warmth in my heart flowing silently.

The atmosphere is really good.

They leaned against each other involuntarily.

Seeing that he was about to kiss, Xiao Xixi's stomach suddenly made a loud purr.

The two stopped at the same time.

Xiao Xixi touched her stomach: "My belly is reminding us that it's time for dinner."

Luo Qinghan said coolly: "Eat it every day, why haven't I seen it grow up?"

...

Good morning everyone~

Xixi: His Majesty the Emperor is giving birth every day, what should I do? Online waiting, very urgent!
