After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

The Qiao family were in the palace, and they couldn't help but miss Qiao Jinyue and Wu Qingyun outside the palace.

Now they are isolated in this small palace alone. From the incident until now, no one has come to ask anything.

But the more this happens, the more everyone knows that things are not simple.

They also had no idea where Qiao Jingyang was taken.

Even if they wanted to use money to bribe the chambermaids and maids to get information, no one would dare to accept the money.

It was as if their eyes and ears were blinded by poison, and they had no idea about the development of the situation outside.

"It seems that His Majesty is very likely to take the opportunity to take action against the Qiao family. Just because he has not made any indication now does not mean that there will be no action.

It can only be said that he is still weighing and considering, and has not made a final decision. And by the time he takes action, he has already considered a foolproof strategy to ensure that nothing goes wrong. "

Old General Chen's words made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.

Although Qiao Jinyue is still outside, he does not have military power in his hands.

General Chen and Qiao Jingchen are both in the palace. Even the Chen family and the Qiao family, most of the people with real power are also in the palace.

Those who fail to enter the palace will also not be able to make any waves.

It can be said that they are very passive now even if they want to save themselves.

"Father, even if His Majesty wants to take action against the Qiao family, it is impossible to uproot them directly. Moreover, he still has to worry about our Chen family, so there should be room for change."

Although Mrs. Chen is also worried, she can only try her best to think in the best direction under the current situation.

Old General Chen nodded and said: "What my son said is right, but Jing Yang has clearly quit her job as the prince's companion and is trying to stay away from the prince as much as possible. How could she be involved again?

Why on earth did he suddenly leave the banquet and get into trouble? Now we can't see anyone at all and have no way of knowing what happened. "

Lin Yue'er stood aside, looking a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Chen noticed something was wrong with her and took the initiative to ask: "Yue'er, what are you thinking about? But what do you have to say?"

Lin Yue'er raised her head and said hesitantly: "Mom, my daughter-in-law is actually not sure, but...it's just that my uncle seems to have a sweetheart, and he was asked out by a very unfamiliar maid.

But whether this is really the case, my daughter-in-law... dare not say for sure. "

Qiao Wanshu nestled in Chen's arms. She had not spoken since she was brought to this small palace.

I didn't even think about anything in my mind.

But after hearing Lin Yue'er's words, he couldn't help but start imagining an extremely bloody plot in his mind.

[Fourth brother has a sweetheart? If it was true, why didn't he tell his family? Could it be that because the other party has a low status, he is afraid that his parents will disapprove if they find out? 】

[But as the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, neither one of them can help the Qiao family. Aren’t the parents happy to accept it and treat the two sisters-in-law very well? So if he had told his family earlier, wouldn't this matter have happened today? 】

[No, Qiao Wanshu, what are you thinking about? Just because the fourth brother's sweetheart had a low status, it was not enough for the prince to be killed. The real reason is that the prince also fell in love with the future fourth sister-in-law and was discovered by the fourth brother by force. 】

[If you lose during an argument, you will kill him...]

Her imagination made the Qiao family also start to think about it.

If it is really what Qiao Wanshu thinks, then once it is confirmed, Qiao Jingyang will definitely die!

Just when everyone was spreading their imagination, the closed door suddenly opened.

The Ninth Prince filed in with a group of servants and maids.

Everyone was holding food boxes in their hands, and they came to deliver meals to the Qiao family.

"Prime Minister Qiao and Old General Chen, I have to make you stay in the palace for a while. When I find out the truth, I will report it to my father and restore the Qiao family's innocence."

He came over, personally took out the snacks from the food box, and placed them on the table next to Old General Chen.

Then he said to Qiao Zhongtian: "Mr. Qiao, the imperial doctor has found out that the prince died of poisoning from agarwood. Fourth Young Master Qiao cannot get that kind of poison, so it should be easy to clear the suspicion.

Please don’t worry too much, Mr. Qiao. "

[Nine-leaf sapodilla? Isn't that a special herb unique to the Ninth Prince's biological mother? Although it is a herbal medicine, its toxicity is very special and rare, and only the Ninth Prince's biological mother tribe can cultivate it. 】

[No wonder the Ninth Prince would say so confidently that the fourth brother could not get that poison, and the suspicion would be cleared soon. I think the Ninth Prince is the one most suspected now! 】

Everyone in the Qiao family looked at the Ninth Prince with strange expressions.

The emperor really liked this son very much. He was obviously the most suspected one, but now he could come and go freely without talking about it, and he was even responsible for investigating the cause of the prince's death.

How old is the Ninth Prince now?

At only about ten years old, he can be the person in charge of such an important case?

If you say this, will it really make people laugh that the royal family has no one to use?

The Ninth Prince didn't seem to notice the expressions of the Qiao family, as if he was just here to provide a piece of news and send another meal.

After bowing his hands in greeting, he was ready to leave.

His waist was suddenly hugged tightly. When he lowered his head, he saw that Qiao Wanshu had slipped down from nowhere and was hanging on his body like a pendant.

"Let's go together!"

Qiao Wanshu also wanted to follow the Ninth Prince to have a look. She always felt that something was fishy.

Maybe watching the scene would remind her of some overlooked details.

"Ninth Prince, my daughter is still very young. She will inevitably be nervous and scared if she is locked in this deep palace. I wonder if I could trouble the Ninth Prince and take my daughter out for some fresh air?

She is only two or three years old, and she doesn't have any special thoughts. She shouldn't cause any trouble to the Ninth Prince, right? "

As soon as Chen opened his mouth, everyone in the Qiao family also begged for mercy.

It seemed that they just wanted Qiao Wanshu to relax and had no other plans.

The Ninth Prince hesitated for a moment and then agreed to this seemingly ridiculous request.

He hugged Qiao Wanshu, turned around and walked out of the small palace, heading straight to the scene where the prince's body was found.

His subordinates had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw the Ninth Prince coming, they stepped forward to report some clues they had found.

None of them seemed to care much about Qiao Wanshu's existence, and they did not shy away from her in their conversations.

Qiao Wanshu struggled for a moment and signaled that she wanted to go away by herself, but the Ninth Prince actually let her go.

[Hey, I just have a hard life. At this age, I have to participate in the detection of murder cases! If it weren't for my fourth brother, I wouldn't do it! 】

[As for the Ninth Prince, he just wants to clear himself and sell another favor to the Qiao family. He is not really well-intentioned. 】

She muttered to herself as she stumbled around.

The grass here is messy and fallen over a large area, and some women's flowers are also scattered.

Qiao Wanshu suddenly became suspicious.

Could it be that the fourth brother and the prince were really entangled over a certain woman?
