Chapter 80
"Prince, Yan'er thinks that this matter should be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when the real culprit escapes." Lin Yan'er pretended to seek justice for Zuo Qianxue.

Long Weishu was also very angry, and directly said: "Come here, seal the entire banquet scene for this king, and no one is allowed to leave until the murderer of this prince's heir is found!"

Soon, the scene was sealed off by the guards. When Long Weishu came out, he brought a hundred guards. At this moment, the whole room was surrounded, and no one present could get out!
Xu Ruqing didn't care about what happened outside, but was thinking about what kind of poison Zuo Qianxue had been poisoned.

Soon Zhiqu brought her medicine box from the bedroom. Xu Ruqing acted extremely fast and did not dare to delay at all. She took out a pill from the medicine box that could relieve the poison and gave it to Zuo Qianxue, and then looked at it again. After looking at her stomach and ensuring that the fetus in the womb still showed signs of life, she ordered.

"Zhiqu, bring the needle."

Zhiqu didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly took out the silver needle from the medicine box and handed it to Xu Ruqing's hand.

Xu Ruqing took the silver needle, took the silver needle, and pierced several important acupuncture points on Zuo Qianxue's head and stomach. Because of the pain, Zuo Qianxue had already lost consciousness and fell asleep, so no matter what Xu Ruqing did at this moment, she would not Not a sound.

Half a quarter of an hour after the needle was applied, the effect was seen. Zuo Qianxue's complexion gradually returned to normal. Her complexion was no longer as frighteningly white as before, and her consciousness also recovered a little.

Cai Die was watching from the side, and she naturally saw the changes in Zuo Qianxue, and a smile finally appeared on her face: "Great, Zhaoyuan was saved!"

After finishing all this, Xu Ruqing came out from behind the screen. Long Weishu anxiously stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Can the child be kept?"

Xu Ruqing nodded: "Well, Zuo Zhaoyuan is out of danger now, and the baby in her belly has been saved, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that after this time, the poison caused a lot of trauma to the mother's uterus. In the future, we must take extra care of the fetus to avoid the tragedy from happening again."

Hearing this, Long Weishu clenched his fists tightly: "Who is so bold to murder this king's heir!"

"Prince, the wine and tea have been checked, and there is no problem." Not long after, a guard came forward to report the investigation.

"Prince, Yan'er thinks that such an investigation would waste a lot of time, why not just ask Zuo Zhaoyuan what she ate in this hour."

"She's still awake?" Long Weishu agreed with Lin Yan'er after pondering for a while.

A maid came forward to check. "Go back to the prince, Zuo Zhaoyuan is still awake."

"Zuo Zhaoyuan, don't be sad, and tell the eldest prince what you ate after the banquet."

"I, I just ate sweet-scented osmanthus cake..." Zuo Qianxue came to her senses at this moment, and answered Lin Yan'er's question truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Long Weishu asked the guards to take down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the table for inspection.

"Reporting to the eldest prince, after inspection, there is nothing wrong with this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but the surface has been sprinkled with a lot of musk powder." Soon, the guard came up with the cake that had been inspected.

Hearing this, a stern look flashed in Long Weishu's eyes.

Musk, he is very familiar with this thing, never thought that someone would dare to use such a dirty trick on him!
Lin Yan'er rolled her eyes, came to Long Weishu and said, "Prince, Yan'er has a good way to find out the real culprit. I wonder if the First Prince is interested in knowing?"

Long Weishu raised his eyes: "What is a good way?"

"As far as Yan'er knows, this musk is pungent and has no smell in itself. It will emit fragrance after being exposed to the air for an hour, making people notice it."

Lin Yan'er glanced at Xu Ruqing inadvertently, and then said: "Zuo Zhaoyuan was poisoned within an hour, that is to say, the person who poisoned him was within an hour from when Zuo Zhaoyuan finished eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake." If it's finished, there must be musk powder left on her body, why not..."

"Not what?"

"It's better to start a body search, and it will be clear at a glance who the murderer is."

Long Weishu nodded thoughtfully. He thought Lin Yan'er's words were very reasonable, so he ordered: "Come here, take everyone here for a body search, report any findings immediately, and if there is a cover letter The king will pull you all down and stick them to death!"

The guards rushed in from outside the house tremblingly, and took everyone inside to a room to search, including Lin Yan'er.

In an instant, the head of the guards stepped forward and reported: "Go back to the eldest prince, everyone in here has been searched, and no musk powder was found on them."

Long Weishu frowned, and found no musk powder, so who would be the real culprit?
"Are you sure everyone has been searched?"

The guard replied truthfully: "Yes, I dare not lie to the First Prince. We just searched all the people in the house, and we really didn't find anything."

Long Weishu was furious, and finally found a clue, but now it was broken!

At this time, Lin Yan'er muttered, "Who said the search is over? Isn't there still a princess..."

Her voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear her very clearly.

He noticed the gazes cast by everyone, as if he realized that he had said something wrong.Lin Yan'er hurriedly covered her mouth: "Damn Yan'er, how could the benevolent princess be so cruel to the innocent Zuo Zhaoyuan? Yan'er shouldn't speculate about the princess and beg the eldest prince to punish her."

Xu Ruqing frowned slightly when she heard the words, she knew that Lin Yan'er was not stopping.

Lin Yan'er begged the eldest prince to punish her instead of begging for mercy from Su Yichen, which showed that she believed that Long Weishu was leaning towards her.

Sure enough, after Long Weishu thought for a while, his eyes shifted to Xu Ruqing.

He would not dare to search for Su Yichen even if he had a hundred guts, so he had no choice but to pick Xu Ruqing.

He ordered the guards and others to retreat, and then said to Xu Ruqing: "Aunt Huang, all the suspects in the house have been searched now, but you haven't..."

Before Xu Ruqing could speak, Su Yichen took the lead and said, "What? Could it be that the eldest prince is suspicious of my concubine, and that he can't attack your concubine?"

"The imperial nephew doesn't dare to say that. The imperial nephew thinks that even if the murderer has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to escape so quickly. What do you think, uncle?"

Su Yichen's eyes were heavy, and he slapped the table hard with his big palm, and the teacup jumped up: "Presumptuous!"

"How important is the reputation of the princess, is it that you can search it if you say you can search it?!"

A woman, let alone a princess, was searched in front of so many people, even if she was innocent, her reputation would be almost ruined. If this matter got out, Xu Ruqing would definitely become the biggest in the capital before tomorrow. The laughing stock and talking point.
