In the next few days, Xue Jinruo visited the five members of the Xue family in prison every now and then. After all, Sheng Jingze now acquiesced to her behavior.

First, we can ask for some details before and after the incident. There may be some clues that we have not noticed before. Second, we can find out in time whether the five members of the Xue family have been tortured again and pay attention to their physical conditions.

Sheng Jingze's personal maids also arrived, one named Xiaochun and the other Xiaoxia. The empty room was not far from her side courtyard.

Today, some of the Xue family's servants came to her to ask for wages. She thought that the Xue family's affairs had suddenly happened, and many of the servants were still living in the former Xue family's villa.

Recently, Xue Jinruo has made some new discoveries in the details he heard.

That night, when Xue Xueyao entered the study again after Xue Yizhong fell asleep, Xue Yizhong said that when she woke up, she heard a sound like something falling to the ground outside, but neither of them paid attention.

But Xue Jinruo knew that small animals generally did not appear in the Xue family's house, and such sounds could only be caused by humans.

Then it is very possible that someone among the Xue family's servants passed by and saw Xue Xueyao entering the study again late at night.

This can be regarded as one of the evidences. Thinking of this, Xue Jinruo hurried to the general's mansion.

She walked around the grass near the study to see if there were any traces left by the people that night. She saw a bunch of hairpin tassels on the ground, picked them up immediately, and then went to where the servants usually went. The place where you live.

After entering the door, I saw many servants still living inside. These people may be loyal and believe that the Xue family will not collaborate with the enemy and treason, or they may not be able to find a place to live, so they have to live here temporarily.

"Recently, something happened to the Xue family. It happened suddenly. It was my general's fault for not settling everyone in time."

Xue Jinruo's voice echoed in the hall, and the servants looked up at her.

"Before I look for a new place for you, I want to ask you something first."

Xue Jinruo protracted his tone, and many people asked eagerly.

"In the middle of the night on the day the Xue family incident occurred, did any of you here go near the study?"

Xue Jinruo's voice was somewhat majestic, and his eyes swept over everyone present, observing their expressions and movements.

She saw a little girl wearing a red skirt bit her lower lip and secretly observed her expression.

Xue Jinruo caught his eye in time and made eye contact with her. The little girl quickly turned her head away.

At the same time, Xue Jinruo focused his observation on her. The hairpin on the girl's head seemed to be missing some decorations and looked a little strange. Xue Jinruo understood it and immediately said:

"I have found evidence. Anyone who knows and conceals the truth will be thrown into jail."

Xue Jinruo glanced slightly, with a cold look in his eyes.

The servants were talking in low voices, and seemed to be guessing who was going out that night.

Xue Jinruo kept staring at the little girl, who looked a little guilty.

"Someone's hairpin fell on the lawn."

Hearing Xue Jinruo's words, the little girl's eyes widened suddenly, and she touched her head. When she touched the hairpin, she breathed a sigh of relief, but when she raised her head, she looked at Xue Jinruo.

"That girl, please come out. Others can come here to collect wages and placement fees."

Xue Jinruo pointed to where Xiaochun was, and then pulled the girl outside.

She knew that she had been discovered and did not struggle too much. When Xue Jinruo took her near the study, he felt that her mood was getting more and more tense.

"Did you pass by this area on the night of the incident?"

Xue Jinruo's eyes were searching, and the little girl bit her lower lip and nodded.

"You tell me the true situation and I won't embarrass you."

There was some fear in the little girl's eyes, she looked at Xue Jinruo timidly, and then she said:

"My name is Xiaohuan. On the night of the incident, I took the oil lamp and planned to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything left to eat. Unexpectedly..."

Xiaohuan was hesitant to speak, and the fear in his eyes was even worse.

"Just say it, I will keep you safe."

Xue Jinruo could see her worry. It seemed that Xiaohuan had seen more things than she imagined.

"Unexpectedly, I saw the second young lady entering the study. I happened to pass by the window at that time. I was curious... and saw the second young lady opening the cabinet and putting something in. The master woke up. , I was so frightened that I dropped the oil lamp on the ground, picked it up and ran away quickly."

After hearing what Xiaohuan said, Xue Jinruo's eyes showed a look of surprise, but he didn't expect that Xiaohuan would faint in the next second.

Xue Jinruo was shocked and hurriedly helped Xiaohuan to the nearest room.

She took out a silver needle and inserted it into several life-saving acupuncture points. After checking her pulse, she determined that Xiaohuan had fainted due to poisoning.

It seems that this poison is not short-lived.

She noticed that there was a sachet attached to her waist, and it smelled strange. She opened the sachet, took out some of the powder, and put it into a cup. When she encountered it, the color of the fruit changed.

The herb contained in it is highly poisonous and was obviously added later. Within ten days, the person wearing it will definitely die.

It has been a week since the Xue family's accident happened. It seems that they have already noticed it and want to eliminate all evidence.

Xue Jinruo asked Xiaochun and Xiaoxia to keep an eye on Xiaohuan, and then went to the medicine hall to buy some medicine to detoxify Xiaohuan.

Inside the Prince's Mansion

Xue Xueyao witnessed Xue Jinruo interrogating Xiaohuan, and immediately rushed to the Prince's Mansion to report to Sheng Chengjie.

"It seems that it is too late to die from the poison alone. The Guhui will send someone to assassinate the maid,"

There was a fierce look in Sheng Chengjie's eyes.

"Your Highness is wise, but that bitch Xue Jinruo seems to have the tacit approval of the regent, and he often goes in and out of prison..."

Xue Xueyao was hesitant to speak. Sheng Jingze didn't know his position at the moment, but he didn't stop Xue Jinruo. This was not a good sign.

"Pay attention to Xue Jinruo's movements and don't let her ruin our good deeds."

Sheng Chengjie turned the teacup in his hand and continued to ask, with an air of confidence in his victory.

"Where is the Xue family's military talisman now?"

"I don't know where it was hidden by Xue Yizhong and Shen Xiangqin. It may also be on Xue Jinruo's body."

There was a hint of contempt in Sheng Chengjie's eyes, and he looked at Xue Xueyao with a hint of impatience.

"You've been staying at the Xue family for so long, and you don't even know where the military talisman is?"

Xue Xueyao bit her lip and lowered her head without speaking.

"Forget it, you continue to search first. When I get the military talisman, I can use my military power to force Sheng Jingze to seize the throne. If he doesn't rebel, he will have to rebel, and he will be accused of being a traitor."

Thinking of this, Sheng Chengjie laughed heartily, and Xue Xueyao responded with a vicious look in her eyes. Sheng Chengjie waved his hand to tell Xue Xueyao to retreat.

Xue Xueyao left the Prince's Mansion.
