Chapter 42 Undefended

"yes!"
Xue Jian hurriedly agreed. After following the prince for so many years, when had he ever ruined the prince's good deeds?
But he didn't understand why the prince pretended to be someone else in front of the princess.
This Jiang Liuli is nothing more than an impostor who is a substitute for marriage. This is something that everyone knows very well, so why does the prince have to take so much trouble?
"But why did the prince do this?"
Could it be that Jiang Liuli has some secrets that he doesn't know about?
Xuejian knew that he shouldn't say anything, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I have my own reasons for doing this! Are you too idle?"
Beichen Qi glanced at Xue Jian, as if to say, he came to take care of this king's affairs in his free time!
In fact, even he himself doesn't know why he continues to hide his identity.
If it was accidental at first, what happened later?
Could it be that he is worried that Jiang Liuli will not detoxify himself after knowing his identity as a prince?
Or is he afraid that after Jiang Liuli knows that he is the prince, he will not be able to get information from her?
It all seems right, but it doesn't seem to be all right.
The cutting continued and the reasoning remained chaotic. Beichen Qi was upset and agitated by the questions. When he raised his eyes, he saw Xue Jian still standing motionless in front of him, staring at his face!
"I still have important matters to deal with, so I'm resigning!"
Xue Jian shuddered and immediately put away his curiosity.
Saving your life is more important!
As soon as Xue Jian left with his front legs, Concubine Liu followed with her back legs.
"Just wait in the yard for a while. Don't let anyone go in! If something like this happens, I must explain it to the prince -"
Xia Ling, who was holding a food plate behind her, quickly and cautiously agreed.
"Yes, I obey my command! Your Majesty, are you getting suspicious?"
Originally, they wanted to get Shaoyao to admit the crime of poisoning.
But what about now?
Stealing the chicken is losing the rice!
Liu Yingshi puffed up her chest, cleared her throat, and said confidently: "How could it be? The prince asked me to thoroughly investigate the matter of the princess' poisoning! I suspect peony, which is reasonable! Since we want to interrogate, there is nothing wrong with it.
What’s the rationale for punishment?”
When she walked to the gate, Liu Yingshi took the food plate from Xia Ling's hand and winked at her.
Xia Ling understood and immediately stood on the side of the Moon Gate.
The closed wooden door opened with a creak. Beichen Qi thought it was the snow sword that was leaving and returning, without even raising his head.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, I specially made Cordyceps Chicken Soup for Your Majesty. It is the most nourishing!"
Hearing this delicate voice, Beichen Qi realized that it was Liu Yingshi who was here.
When he looked up, he saw that she was wearing a water-red dress, and her slim figure could be vaguely seen as thin as cicada wings.
Beichen Qi subconsciously turned his face away, not daring to look directly at him.
"I'm interested!"
"The prince asked me to thoroughly investigate the matter of the princess's poisoning. I think the maid Shaoyao next to the princess is the most suspicious. After all, she is the only one to take care of the princess! However, this girl has a very stubborn temper. She refuses to say anything to me.
I have no choice but to resort to family methods——"
While Liu Yingshi explained carefully, she secretly looked at Beichen Qi's expression. Seeing that he showed no signs of anger, she continued: "Before I could ask the reason, Xuejian came over and took him away.
Yes, and you said it was the prince’s intention?”
"Um!"
Beichen Qi responded vaguely. He didn't want to explain to Liu Yingshi at first, but when he saw her standing motionless in front of him, as if she would not leave until she got the answer, he slowly said: "Paeony is
Jiang Liuli's personal maid, they are like sisters, so she shouldn't be her!"
"How does the prince know!"
Liu Yingshi was outspoken, but as soon as she spoke, she realized that she seemed to be too direct.
"I mean, I know people, faces but not hearts! If it's not Miss Shaoyao, who could it be?"
Although I knew that this matter was done so secretly, and no one other than Xia Ling knew about it, I still followed the old saying of a thief with a guilty conscience, and I felt uneasy after all, always afraid that the prince would notice.
"The trick will always be revealed! Don't rush it! If it is really the maid next to Jiang Liuli who did it, she should also leave it to her own disposal!"
Beichen Qi made the final decision, and the matter about peony ended here.
If Jiang Liuli can't even tell whether the people closest to her are good or bad, and is so stupid as to risk her own life, then she can't blame others!
"Your Majesty is right!"
It turns out that this is what Prince Qi thinks!
Liu Yingshi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She thought the prince was suspicious of her!
"Anything else?"
I've said everything I need to say, but why doesn't Liu Yingshi have any intention of leaving?
Liu Yingshi looked a little embarrassed, of course she had other things to do.
But, how can we talk about some things easily?
"Your Majesty, if this soup gets cold, it won't taste good!"
At Liu Yingshi's reminder, Beichen Qi lowered his head and noticed that the bowl of steaming soup had been pushed in front of him.
Under Liu Yingshi's scorching gaze, the unsuspecting Beichen Qi finally picked up the bowl——
