Chapter 255 Chapter 256
Song Nanyi didn't quite understand Song Nanling, but she didn't have time to think about it now.

Knowing that Concubine Shu still had relics left behind, she hurriedly took Xun Wu to the Buddhist hall.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager built an independent Buddhist hall behind her sleeping hall, otherwise she might not be able to get Concubine Shu's things so easily today.

Xun Wu didn't ask any more questions, but it should be the empress dowager who said something to the second princess, so she helped Song Nanyi all the way to the entrance of the Buddhist hall.

The people at the door questioned her a bit, and knowing that it was the empress dowager's intention, and the second princess' status was noble, naturally they didn't dare to stop her, and immediately let Song Nanyi in.

After entering the Buddhist hall, Xun Wu asked Song Nanyi, "Your Highness, what are you looking for?"

The queen mother believes in Buddhism, the eldest princess believes in Buddhism, but the second princess never believes in Buddhism.

So Song Nanyi must have something to do when he came to the Buddhist hall.

"The Queen Mother said just now that she hid a letter behind a Jade Buddha, go and find it." Song Nanyi pressed against the door frame, her chest was so hungry that she couldn't walk, she continued: "I am here I'm waiting for you, let's go."

"Yes."

When Xun Wu got the order, he hurried into the Buddhist hall to find the Jade Buddha that Song Nanyi had mentioned, but there were so many Buddha statues in this Buddhist hall that Xun Wu was dazzled by seeing them.

After walking around the Buddhist hall for a few laps, Xun Wu finally found the Jade Buddha that Song Nanyi had told her about.

Out of respect, Xun Wu bowed to the Jade Buddha before reaching out his hand to walk around behind the Jade Buddha, and took out the letter that the Empress Dowager had hidden behind the Jade Buddha.

She saw that the seal of this letter was still very well preserved, so it could be seen that no one had read the contents of this letter.

"Princess, is this it?"

Xun Wu handed the letter to Song Nanyi, and Song Nanyi read it carefully after receiving it, and it was indeed the same as what the queen mother said.

"Let's go."

When she goes back this time, she will go to Baicaosheng to see if there is any problem with the lip balm that the princess gave her.

In Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Donglin frowned, looking at Xiao Zhi who was kneeling in front of him, he was unwilling to admit that there was an assassin's body in Leshan.

If in the past, Xiao Zhi told him so, he must have listened to it and stopped asking.

It's just that the second princess told him that there was something hidden about this matter today, which made Emperor Donglin lean more towards the truth of what the second princess said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I really didn't see any assassins, and no one under my command saw any corpses. Please give me your Majesty's warning."

Xiao Zhi knelt, his back straightened, but his back was already dripping with cold sweat.

He didn't know whether Emperor Donglin's questioning this time was a test or he already knew the truth, but since he said he didn't know from the beginning, he absolutely couldn't change his words.

Because once he changed his words, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. If he killed this matter, even if Emperor Donglin found evidence, he could still say that the people under him did not report it to him.

There is still room for redemption, but now he absolutely cannot change his words.

In addition to the crime of deceiving the emperor, it also involved the eldest prince.

There was indeed an assassin, but it wasn't to assassinate the second princess. It was because the eldest prince told him to send someone to test Gu Jiuchen's leg problems.

Moreover, the eldest prince repeatedly assured him that Gu Jiuchen and the second princess would never be hurt, let alone discovered, so he agreed to hide this matter for the eldest prince.
