Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 421 Chapter Twenty · Ambush

Mrs. Qin stayed beside Princess Zhuang, nervously looking at Gao Ping who came in. Looking through the magnificent screen, she could only see a shadow of Gao Ping, she coughed a little stiffly: "Sir Gao, I don't know. How's it going?"

   She said, paused, and increased her tone: "You must give my daughter justice!"

   Gao Ping replied calmly, and said again: "Forgive me for being rude, but I would like to ask the princess, have you noticed anything unusual recently? When did you start feeling unwell?"

Concubine Zhuang was supported by Mrs. Qin, and she sat on the quilt with her eyes lowered, her voice indifferent and flat: "It was about half a month ago that I used to feel uncomfortable, but it was only a stuffy chest, so I asked the doctor Lai in the house. Doctor Hu and I both said that there is such a situation in the late pregnancy, and it is nothing, and I didn't take it seriously, until that day my stomach suddenly hurt unbearably."

   When she said this, her voice finally fluctuated, and she took a breath before saying: "I don't know anything about what happened after that."

   There is no useful information in these words. After listening to Gao Ping, he came to a conclusion in his heart, and said respectfully: "Yes, the lower official knows, and please take care of the princess."

   After saying that, he asked Mrs. Qin to go out for a while. He is now handling the case according to the order, and some rules naturally cannot be adhered to.

   Mrs. Qin hurriedly followed Gao Ping out and asked him, "Master Gao, have you found anything?"

   Gao Ping avoided answering, just asked her, "Mrs. Qin has been accompanying the princess recently, right?"

   Mrs. Qin sighed: "Of course, the princess has always been uncomfortable since she was pregnant, so I often come to take care of her."

She was obviously in a bad mood, so Gao Ping stopped talking nonsense and asked bluntly: "Then do you think the princess has any habits that are different from usual recently? For example, the clothes and jewelry she wears, the incense she uses, etc. replace?"

   These questions naturally have to be asked of the maid serving the princess, but it must be the most intuitive to ask Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows in surprise, and after thinking carefully for a long time, she shook her head affirmatively: "This has never happened before. Since the princess was pregnant, her sense of smell has been extremely sensitive, and she can't smell incense, so incense is early. Stopped, only clothes will be scented with dried osmanthus."

   Gao Ping was thoughtful, and was about to say something when Zhou Juntao hurried over: "Sir! I found something!"

   Mrs. Qin couldn't care about any rules and regulations, and immediately opened her eyes and went down the steps to ask him, "What's wrong? What did you find?!"

   Zhou Juntao hurriedly avoided, bowed and looked at Gao Ping.

   Gao Ping understood, and took a few steps down the steps to ask him, "What's going on?"

"I checked the people who served the princess and those doctors and imperial physicians, and found that Dr. Lai in the house was gone." Zhou Juntao cupped his hands: "Before leaving, Dr. Lai left a message that he was going home to visit relatives, but we went to check, this guy Dr. Lai is clearly an orphan."

   Doctor Lai?

   Gao Ping frowned: "And then?" Wouldn't it be a problem after checking such a few things?

   "We found out later that this Doctor Lai and Doctor Shen actually knew each other." Zhou Juntao coughed.

   Gao Ping patiently asked: "So what?"

   Mrs. Qin suddenly jumped up: "Dr. Lai and Dr. Shen know each other?! But none of them said anything!"

Her voice suddenly rose an octave, and she looked nervously at Gao Ping and explained: "Dr. Lai was introduced to the mansion by himself, saying that this Dr. Lai is a famous doctor in Jiangnan, especially good at a thousand gold subjects, the princess and the prince are very good Trust him, in addition to the imperial doctor, he is the one who is in charge of the miscarriage. Later, when the princess had an accident, Dr. Lai said that he could not cure it, and suggested that the lord go to Dr. Shen, saying that Dr. Shen is a famous doctor, and the lord still For this matter, I personally went to the palace to ask the sage, and asked Dr. Shen, who was originally giving Bozhi's leg to Yongding, to come here."

   Also involved the Su family?

   Gao Ping's brows twitched, his heart thumped subconsciously, his fingers moved in his sleeves, and he said, "What about Doctor Shen?"

As if to wait for him to ask this question, Zhou Juntao immediately followed up and replied: "Sir, Dr. Shen stayed in the mansion to take care of the princess' body after the princess' accident, but after the concubine Li returned to the palace, he left, saying that he wanted to go home."

   Such a coincidence?

Mrs. Qin was already angry: "This is too coincidental! That is to say, the book is such a coincidence." She was indignant: "If someone really wants to harm the princess, it must have something to do with them! Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? Son?!"

   Gao Ping was noncommittal, and suddenly asked Zhou Juntao: "Did Dr. Lai and Dr. Shen search the residence of the mansion? And their whereabouts, who else knows? Have you asked?"

Zhou Juntao is also a young talent who has handled a lot of cases. Naturally, there are rules for doing things. Hearing Gao Ping ask this question, he nodded methodically: "My subordinates have asked Lao Liu and the others to take them to search for Dr. Lai and Dr. Shen in the mansion. They have a place to live, and they have also found all the servants who have had a lot of contact with them, and now they are asking for confessions."

   Gao Ping nodded, comforted Mrs. Qin, and turned around to have a look.

   Mrs. Qin was still very angry, trembling and urging Gao Ping: "Adults must check carefully, if they really did it, they are really bold!"

Seeing that Gao Ping agreed to take Zhou Juntao out of the yard, she put away the anger on her face, turned up the steps, and returned to Princess Zhuang's bedroom with a calm expression, then bypassed the screen and curtain, and saw that Princess Zhuang was leaning on her. She felt a pain in her heart while lying on the pillow, and hurriedly stepped forward and closed the window: "It's raining a few times, and it's getting colder every day. You've just had a miscarriage now, how can you be so self-willed?"

Princess Zhuang snorted with a pale face, and pulled the corner of her mouth sarcastically: "What body do you need to maintain? Didn't you see what he looked like? My child is gone, can he care about being sad? arranged"

"Ouch!" Mrs. Qin hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth, and patted her on the shoulder angrily and anxiously: "My ancestor, why do you say everything!? I know you too! It's sad, but this is the case"

   When she was pregnant, Concubine Zhuang was too self-willed, she was exhausted every day, how could the child be better? How is your body doing? Now there is a lot of commotion outside, saying what is being killed.

   But in fact, Mrs. Qin couldn't understand it any better. This has nothing to do with others at all. Princess Zhuang's mood is so unstable, this child will not be able to be saved sooner or later.
