The stout maid's eyes flashed slightly. As soon as Gu Nanshan opened his mouth, she knew that everything he said was a lie. They were all trained by their master. When they were very young, they were placed in the homes of officials. Or major aristocratic families, even if they are placed in the same family, have no contact with each other.

Unless there is a mission, someone will deliver the message to them.

Today was the first time she saw the hidden stake placed in the Cui family.

People like them have no family, they are just lonely ghosts in this world.

"My lord, this slave is unjustly accused! I really don't know anything." She shouted that she was wronged.

Gu Nanshan looked at her expressionlessly.

"If you don't believe me, I am willing to die to prove my innocence." The sturdy maid bit her tongue and committed suicide. She was shackled and her hands and feet were tied with iron chains. Gu Nanshan had done everything he could to prevent her from committing suicide.

When he saw her intention, he rushed forward and reached out to remove her chin, but he was still a step too late.

When she committed suicide, Gu Nanshan had already seen that she was not simply bribed.

After finally finding out the murderer of the poison, but nothing was asked, Gu Nanshan could not help but feel a little frustrated. When interrogating the guard, he became more cautious and first asked the experienced body searcher to search him carefully to prevent him from hiding. Poison suicide.

Unexpectedly, this guard was very vigilant.

Before he asked anything, the guard knew that he had been exposed.

He was chained to the wall, and the people from the Criminal Department were still searching him. Suddenly, his body stiffened and he lost his breath.

Gu Nanshan could tell at a glance, "No need to search, he is already dead."

"No, that's not right! Sir, how did he die? My subordinates have checked and found that there was no poison hidden in his mouth, and the only thing that could move in his body was his mouth." The person who searched him was puzzled.

Gu Nanshan guessed, "He may have taken poison on the way here."

Before he finished speaking, a trace of black blood spilled from the corner of the guard's mouth.

It confirmed what he said.

After working all night, the end result was this.

Gu Nanshan felt sulky, and by the time he got home, it was already dawn.

Gu Wenhe was almost in good health. He couldn't sleep at home all the time. Today, before dawn, he went to the morning court.

The atmosphere this morning was particularly solemn.

When the court was about to leave, Emperor Zhaoming casually asked Mo Yuanzhi, the Minister of Punishment, how the case of Princess Anding's poisoning was progressing.

Mo Yuanzhi could only tell the truth.

After Emperor Zhaoming heard this, his face became more and more gloomy. As soon as he found the poisoner, they committed suicide. What does this mean?

They are well trained.

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The prince was really unimproved. He only used this trick back and forth without any new tricks.

"So this matter has nothing to do with Cui Yao?" He slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Ni.

Xie Ni was dressed in a purple official uniform and stood at the head of the civil service. He lowered his eyes and pretended not to see anything.

Mo Yuanzhi raised his hand and said yes.

Emperor Zhaoming also summoned the people from Qin Tianjian and asked them if they could divine an auspicious day for Xie Ni to get married.

Qin Tianjian immediately presented several auspicious days, and Emperor Zhaoming waved his hand and chose the nearest day, "July 26 is a good day. Xie Aiqing should get married on this day!"

There is less than half a month left.

Thank you for accepting the order and thanking you for your kindness.

早朝一散。

顾文鹤追上谢逆,看着他拱手道:“真是恭喜首辅大人了。”

Xie Ni, "..."

He slowly raised his eyelids, but that was not necessary.

He was in front, and Gu Wenhe was following behind. The two of them were one step away from each other.

Xie Ni changed the subject, "I wonder what kind of son-in-law Mr. Gu wants to find in the future?"

Why is Mr. Xie planning to introduce young talents to Zhizhi?

Gu Wenhe glanced at him secretly, and after thinking for a moment he came to a conclusion, "If a high-ranking family marries a wife or a low-class daughter, it's not a secret to the chief minister. I want to choose a good son-in-law for Zhizhi among the students from a poor family, so that He has married into our Gu family, so with his brother and I protecting him, he will be able to keep her safe and live a more comfortable life."

As for the rumors spread outside, Gu Wenhe didn't believe them at all.

He naturally feels that his daughter is the best.

But Mr. Shofu has been as abstinent as the monks in the temple in recent years. He seriously doubts that Mr. Shofu has no interest in women at all.

There were rumors before that he had the habit of Longyang.

However, according to his observation, Mr. Shofu doesn't like men either.

Well, I don’t like men, and I don’t like women. Is there a possibility that Mr. Shofu doesn’t like people...

Xie Ni changed his mind and said, "Master Gu wants to recruit a son-in-law! It's not impossible."

The shadow guard who secretly protects him, "..."

What do you mean my lord?

Are you planning to take them with you to become your son-in-law? ? ?

Except for the two imperial doctors on duty, all the remaining imperial doctors in the palace were at Prince Gong's residence, even Song Liang was there.

They went over and over again and studied for a whole night, but they still couldn't figure out why the tea was not poisonous and the lychee honey with added ingredients was not poisonous, but when the two were mixed together, they would become highly poisonous.

Prince Gong always called people's attention to the news from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He already knew that the two poisoning murderers were dead, and it was impossible to make them spit out.

He waited anxiously outside. He had never felt that time was so torturous, and the days seemed like years.

When the closed door opens.

He was full of hope and rushed over, "How about you guys find out what's in the lychee honey?"

More than a dozen imperial doctors stayed up all night, and they all looked disheveled. Faced with Prince Gong's questioning, each of them felt ashamed, and everyone shouted in unison, "The lower officials are incompetent!"

Among these people, Song Liang was the only one with a better face. He was the youngest one. He was the only one who looked thoughtful and did not speak.

Prince Gong tentatively asked, "Has the imperial doctor of Song Dynasty discovered anything?"

Song Liang touched his nose. Why did he look like he had discovered something?He was obviously worried, "My lord, there is not much time left for the princess. Since the princess of Huayang County can discover the poison hidden in the lychee honey, why not invite her to come and discuss it together, maybe we can find something."

Prince Gong immediately called for Gu Nanzhi.

He thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. He had to go in person to show his sincerity. After all, he had already troubled her once last night.

As soon as Gu Nanzhi woke up, he received an invitation sent by the Crown Princess.

Five days later, it was her birthday, and since she was pregnant now, her status was even more valuable. The prince held a banquet for her in the East Palace and invited Gu Nanzhi to the banquet.

Gu Nanzhi looked at the invitation and suddenly remembered something.

前世,在太子妃的生辰宴上发生了一件大事。
