"Your Majesty, Princess!"

Huo Changhe walked out of the room unhappily and stood in the corridor.

Yinding ran over happily: "My Lord, there is news."

"What's the news?"

"It's the news about Liujiazhuang," Yinding asked in confusion, "Have you forgotten it?"

Huo Changhe: “…” I forgot because you made me angry.

"What's going on?"

"There are quite a few residents in Liujiazhuang, with more than 200 households. The woman's name is Xia Miao. She came to Liujiazhuang a year ago to seek refuge with her aunt, but her aunt died before she arrived, leaving only her cousin. Her cousin took pity on her and kept her."

Huo Changshe curled his lips slightly: "You feel pity for her? You think she's beautiful?"

Yinding gave a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is wise, and what I think is the same."

"The man and the woman were both unmarried, and they were distant cousins, so it was a good match. When they were about to get married, my cousin went to the city to buy things for the wedding. He saw a fight and went over to watch. As a result, he was hit on the head and died."

Yan Ruyu came out of the house and just heard this.

"What a coincidence?"

"That's true. Xia Miao lost her fiancé and lived alone in Liujiazhuang. A few days ago, she brought back a boy, saying that he was her long-lost sister's child and her little nephew."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and said, "Maybe my aunt is not my aunt, my cousin may not be a surprise, and my sister is not my biological sister."

"Then I will investigate further, starting from my cousin's death."

"Go to the place where he died and find out which street he died in, which door he died in, who was involved in the fight, and the murderer can be found on record."

"Yes."

Everything you do will leave traces, let alone something done by several living people together.

"Is the village of Liujiazhuang familiar to you, Your Majesty?"

Huo Changhe shook his head: "I'm not familiar with it. It belongs to Youcheng, and I haven't been to Youcheng much before."

"Go ask Governor Cao."

"That's not necessary. Ask the people working in the government office. Some of them often come into contact with the village heads. If there is anyone who knows the head of Liujiazhuang, then it will be clear."

Yan Ruyu didn't understand any of this: "Listen to the prince."

At this point, there was a prompt in Yan Ruyu's space. She took the little tiger to test the poison yesterday, and now the result is out.

Entering the space, the poison powder on the little tiger is colorless and odorless. It is highly toxic but not violent. After being poisoned, it will take at least four hours for the poison to take effect.

This method of poisoning makes it hard for people to suspect that it is a poison problem.

Four hours, eight hours, is almost the end of a day.

Who could have thought that he had been poisoned eight hours ago?

Yan Ruyu looked at the test results and confirmed that it was the seeds of a certain flower. The seeds were poisonous. After being processed, they would burst open and reveal pollen. Its rhizome was the antidote.

Knowing that the seeds of this flower are poisonous and also knowing its toxicity characteristics, Xia Miao must be very familiar with this aspect and knows the properties of plants well.

After exiting the space, Yan Ruyu gave the result to Huo Changhe and picked up the pen to draw a portrait of Xia Miao.

As for what kind of person she is in her daily life, just ask the neighbors around her.

The two of them were discussing in the room with the window half open, and they could hear Linlang's surprised voice through the window.

"Green Lake!"

Lu Hu is here, which means Princess Ming Zhao is here.

Huo Changhe sighed helplessly, knowing that he had to get busy again.

Princess Mingzhao bumped into Huo Changhe at the gate of the courtyard. She bowed hastily without even looking at him and hurried into the courtyard to find Yan Ruyu.

"Princess, I have something to tell you," Princess Mingzhao lowered her voice, but could not suppress the gossip in her voice, "I heard that Cheng Fengyao is getting married tomorrow."

Yan Ruyu had heard before that she was going to get married, and it was arranged by the Cheng family father and son, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Where are you going to marry?"

"I heard that it was from Shencheng, at the entrance and exit point. The man was doing trade business and had quite a bit of wealth."

Yan Ruyu was not surprised and poured her a cup of tea: "I heard that only this person has family wealth and can fill the hole of the Cheng family and give the Cheng family a hope of making a comeback."

Princess Mingzhao sneered: "Two men from the same family, making a comeback, actually exchanged for a woman, how shameless."

"Cheng Guanghan seems arrogant and conceited about his talents, but in fact he is just an arrogant man without any strategy or talent. Even if he is lucky enough to make a comeback this time, it won't last long."

"The Cheng family has run out of luck."

Princess Mingzhao agreed with this and nodded slowly while sipping her tea.

"Do you want to go back to Beijing?" Yan Ruyu suddenly asked.

"Who? Me?" Princess Mingzhao shook her head. "I don't want to. I haven't been to the capital for a long time. I have no relatives or friends. It's boring."

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"Nothing much," Yan Ruyu shook her head. "I think the Northwest is not bad, so I'll stay here for a while. I'll ask other people what they think."

Princess Mingzhao's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer to hold her hand: "Really? I think so too. Let's make a deal, you can't go back to the capital alone, or go somewhere else, we have to go together."

Yan Ruyu: “…Okay.”

Who can resist such a beautiful girl?

The two were chatting when Jiang Tangli and Qi Dongqiang also came.

As soon as Jiang Tangli entered the room, she shouted, "Oh my God, this is terrible. There is trouble in the Cheng family again."

Princess Mingzhao asked quickly, "What happened? We were just talking about the Cheng family."

Jiang Tangli's eyes were wide open, shining brightly, and she kept talking: "It's the young lady from the Cheng family. She seemed to refuse to get married no matter what, and she ran away secretly. She ran to the door, but was caught and brought back."

"Her brother is so cruel. He grabbed her hair and dragged her back," Jiang Tangli gestured on her head.

"Later, they invited a great wizard, who was wearing a black robe, a big bull head mask, and holding some strange things. He said that Miss Cheng was possessed by an evil spirit, which caused her to become strange, and they came to exorcise the evil spirit."

"When we both arrived, we happened to see the great wizard entering the palace."

Qi Dongqiang nodded and added: "We waited for a while on purpose. I heard that once the great wizard entered the mansion, Miss Cheng calmed down a lot. At least she stopped making trouble and stopped running out."

Princess Mingzhao sneered, "You can't escape, right?"

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly: "Grand Master?"

She was no stranger to this profession, having dressed up as one on the way here. She didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so naturally she didn't believe in these things.

But she couldn't be sure for a moment whether there was anything fishy about this great wizard.

Maybe it was just a simple shaman act, and the Cheng family used it to cover up. After all, there are so many ways to control a person, and it is not necessary to use so-called magic.

"How is it? How is it?" Jiang Tangli was very interested. "Do you think there is anything unusual? Do you want us to check it out?"

Ever since helping Jiang Ruhuan solve the problem last time, Jiang Tangli wanted to continue to follow Yan Ruyu to investigate the matter.

This time it’s the great wizard, it’s so exciting.
