The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 408 Unidentified
The next day, the sun was shining brightly, dispelling some of the winter chill.

After the morning court ended, Chen Zhan listened to Jiang Chen's report on the carriage back home.

"Yesterday, after Cui Hengyue left, she went directly to Song Zhuoxing's residence, but she left after not staying for long. Then she went back to the Jingguo Mansion, and half an hour later she sneaked out of the Jingguo Mansion, went to Song Zhuoxing's place, and stayed there. for half an hour.

"Our people came to report that when Cui Hengyue went there in the middle of the night, Song Zhai let out screams. It should be that Song Zhuoxing was poisoned."

After a pause, Jiang Chen continued to report: "By the way, Cui Hengyue's things have been sent to the Jingguo Mansion, but Sanniang didn't make a fuss when she learned that Cui Hengyue returned to the mansion, and stayed in the mansion.

"In addition, everyone has been interrogated, but no suspicious person has been found. The prince ordered me to interrogate again."

After Chen Zhan listened, he affirmed the eldest son's approach: "If no suspicious person was found, it must be due to your negligence, so let the elder son arrange and check again.

"As for Cui Hengyue"

The sound suddenly stopped.

Chen Zhan thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "How is Song Zhuoxing now? Is he still alive?"

Jiang Chen didn't understand why the master asked such a question, but he still answered truthfully: "After Cui Hengyue left last night, there was no movement in the house.

"The people in the house came out to buy things early this morning, and they didn't show any panic on their faces. They didn't buy any medicinal materials either. It should be Song Zhuoxing who survived."

The poison was not as ferocious as usual. It is really admirable that Song Zhuoxing, the son of a small businessman, could survive it.

However, Chen Zhan's face changed: "Cui Hengyue must have brought medicine with him when he went there for the second time. The medicine is definitely not an antidote, but it can suppress the poison in Song Zhuoxing's body.

"Otherwise, it is impossible for Song Zhuoxing to survive so easily. There is only one in this world who can suppress this kind of poison."

His eyes shifted, and he stared at Jiang Chen: "Let me ask you, did Cui Hengyue go there alone, or was there someone else around?"

"She went alone." Seeing that the master's expression was not good, Jiang Chen couldn't help asking: "Master, did you find anything?"

Chen Zhan looked solemn: "Cui Hengyue went to see Song Zhuoxing for the first time, so he must know something about the poison in his body.

"The second time I went there, it happened that Song Zhuoxing was poisoned, but there was no movement in the house, which meant that the poison in Song Zhuoxing's body was suppressed, so Cui Hengyue must have brought the medicine with him.

"This medicine can't be made in a short time, it must have been prepared before, but this medicine is the unique secret medicine of the Zhen family, and it will not be rumored. Cui Hengyue must have a fish that slipped through the net by the Zhen family."

Hearing the word "Zhen's family", Jiang Chen's face immediately changed: "I heard that the imperial doctor Zhen was sentenced to be executed and one person escaped from the Zhen family. Could it be true?"

In a case involving robbery and beheading, in order not to take responsibility for the crime, even if there is a fish that slipped through the net, they will superficially cover it up.

Chen Zhan nodded his head: "That's right, more than one person from the Zhen family escaped back then, there should be three or four people, but there should be only one person in the Zhen family's bloodline."

In fact, he wasn't too sure, because he didn't pay much attention to the case at the time, and the case was closed too quickly, so many clues had already been broken.

After much deliberation, Chen Zhan still felt that his guess was correct, and he asked, "When Cui Hengyue entered the mansion, there were only Shui Fu and Shui Rong around her, and they belonged to Mu Shui, so there was no problem.

"Go and check the servants assigned to Cui Hengyue later to see if there is anyone from the Zhen family."

After returning to the Prince Regent's Mansion, Chen Zhan ordered someone to find his second son, and told him: "Cui Yuanniang has already returned to the mansion, it is not appropriate for Cui Sanniang to stay in the mansion, you go to prepare and send Cui Sanniang back to the Jingguo Mansion.

"After you go, find a way to contact Shui Fu and Shui Rong, and ask them if there are any unknown people around Cui Hengyue."

Chen Linshen took orders and left.

An hour later, Chen Linshen personally sent Cui Sanniang to the second bedroom, talked with his uncle and aunt for a while, and then went to see Cui Quan and Mrs. Cui.

"Although outsiders don't know it, we all know that it was the Prince Regent's House who wronged Yuan Niang, so my father ordered me to make amends to Yuan Niang today.

"I also ask the old lady for permission to let me go to Jinglan Garden."

Although it was not Cui Hengyue who stabbed the princess regent, it was a fact that Cui Hengyue did not do enough to protect her. The regent did not blame her, and even sent her second son to make amends. This gave Cui enough face, and Mrs. Cui naturally readily agreed.

"Miss Du, you send Prince Changshan to Jinglan Garden."

"Thank you, old lady."

After thanking Mrs. Du, Chen Linshen followed Mrs. Du and left Fuhai Courtyard. When they arrived at the gate of Jinglan Garden, Chen Linshen said to Mrs. Du, "I'll just go in by myself. Mrs. Du will go back first."

"Still." Facing Chen Linshen's calm eyes, Madam Du's words got stuck in her throat.

She smiled embarrassingly: "Yes, the king is welcome."

Seeing Chen Linshen enter Jinglan Court with her own eyes, Madam Du went back to Fuhai Court to return to her command.

It was Shui Fu who came to greet Chen Linshen, and she cautiously probed: "Your Majesty, why are you here? The princess has woken up, do you want to see Yuan Niang?"

If this is the case, then servants should be sent instead of Changshan County King. Shui Fu didn't feel it was right after asking.

But the words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.

Chen Linshen secretly made a gesture.

Pine immediately slowed down, and the servants of Jinglanyuan behind had to slow down.

"Is there someone unknown by Yuanniang's side?" Chen Linshen asked in a low voice.

Shui Fu's heart skipped a beat, and Lady Wen's face immediately appeared in her mind: "Except for me and Shui Rong, all the people in Jinglan Court were sent by a prostitute who was acquainted with Duke Jing's mansion, and they were finally selected by Yuan Niang. There are also many children of Cui's family.

"The Yasukuni Mansion has strict rules and regulations. Those who can enter the mansion as errands have to go through identity and background checks, so there should be no problem."

After finishing speaking, Shui Fu secretly took a peek at Chen Linshen, saw that he was silent, and asked cautiously: "Why did the county king suddenly ask about this? But what's wrong with Yuan Niang?"

Chen Linshen regained his indifferent expression: "It's nothing, you should pay more attention to Yuan Niang's errand, if there is anyone suspicious, send me a message in time."

"Yes."

When Shui Fu led Chen Linshen into the side hall, Shui Rong had already prepared hot tea and cakes with the little maid.

"Yuan Niang will come later, please wait for a while."

After Shui Rong finished speaking, she told Shui Fu to "serve well", and was about to leave, but she didn't want to be stopped by Chen Linshen.

"You stay here, Yuanniang will let Shuifu serve on her side."

Shui Rong didn't know, and asked Shui Fu with her eyes.

However, Shui Fu was kicked out by Chen Linshen before she had time to communicate with Shui Rong.

"There are too many people, it's a bit boring." Chen Linshen found fault again.

Song Mu understood, and immediately ordered the little maids: "Leave one person to serve the county king, and the others will go out."

The King of Changshan County has a high status, so it is natural that Sister Shui Rong, the eldest maidservant, can take care of her, how can it be their turn?
The little maids knew that their status was not enough, so they voluntarily withdrew from the side hall.

After they left, Chen Linshen asked in a low voice, "Is there someone unknown by Yuanniang's side?"

Shui Rong's reaction was the same as Shui Fu's, and she replied without changing her face: "Except for me and Shui Fu, the people who serve Yuanniang are first checked by Mrs. Cui, and finally Yuanniang personally selects them.

"According to the rules of the Yasukuni Mansion, people with unknown identities cannot enter the mansion."

Chen Linshen was silent.
