Lin Guiren cried and shook his head: "No, those people are trustworthy and would not poison the tenth prince."

The prince said: "We have already asked people to interrogate those people, but we haven't found anyone useful yet."

Dongming Ziyu frowned and said, "Remember carefully what happened when you went to my father's place yesterday. Did anything unusual happen?"

Lin Guiren's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at the prince warily and fearfully, but hesitated to speak.

The prince frowned, "What kind of look are you looking at? If King Xuan asks you to tell the truth, tell the truth!"

Lin Guiren then said: "We met the tenth prince on the way to greet the emperor..." After saying that, he glanced at the prince again and continued: "The tenth prince gave the fourteenth prince a sachet. When he came back from greeting him,

When he met the tenth prince again, he gave the fourteenth prince a chrysanthemum."

Dongming Ziyu asked: "Where are the sachets and flowers?"

Lin Guiren's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "The fourteenth prince took the sachet for a while and stopped wanting it, so he gave it to the palace maid Cuizhu. The fourteenth prince always stuffed the chrysanthemum into his mouth, so the wet nurse fooled her and threw it on the road.

.”

The prince's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "Where is the sachet?"

The palace corridors are being cleaned at all times, and the flowers will definitely not be found.

Cuizhu was also smart and said hurriedly: "I was afraid... that there was something bad in the sachet, so I didn't dare to let the Fourteenth Prince play with it, so I took it to the imperial hospital for the imperial doctor to check, but the imperial doctor said it was fine and just normal."

The petal sachet. The slave came back with the sachet and went to bring supplements to the master in the kitchen, but accidentally fell into the charcoal fire."

Dongming Ziyu said in a deep voice: "Invite the imperial physician and the tenth prince over."

The imperial doctor was Lin Guiren's confidant. He was treating the fourteenth prince in the palace and came over soon.

Kneel on the ground and kowtow: "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, and pay my respects to His Highness King Xuan!"

Because the prince's coronation ceremony has not yet been held and he has not officially ascended the throne, according to the rules, he must be called prince for the time being.

Dongming Ziyu asked: "Could this palace maid bring you a sachet for inspection yesterday?"

The imperial doctor said: "Yes."

Dongming Ziyu asked again: "What does the sachet look like? Is there any problem?"

The imperial doctor respectfully explained the appearance of the sachet and the contents inside it, and then said: "There is nothing harmful to the body in the sachet."

Dongming Ziyu asked again: "Are you sure you are not poisoned by the fourteenth prince?"

The imperial doctor replied firmly: "No. Moreover, the poison that the Fourteenth Prince was poisoned by is not volatile and will not poison people through its taste. Ingestion is the main way of poisoning."

The tenth prince was keeping vigil for the emperor and was soon called.

The tenth prince bowed in a formal manner: "My brother pays homage to the emperor, brother Xuan Wang."

In his eyes, his brother, the prince, is already the emperor, and he should be treated as a king and a minister.

The prince gave him a hand with a solemn expression and asked: "Did you see Lao Shili yesterday?"

The tenth prince nodded and said: "Yes, the fourteenth brother is very lovable. I teased him for a while and gave him a sachet. Later, I thought of picking some flowers to pay my respects to my father. In the garden

When I came back, I met Xiao Shisi coming back to greet his father. He liked the flowers, so my brother gave him one. The rest were given to his father's eunuch, Xiao Dengzi, because his father was exhausted.

My brother kowtowed outside the palace and returned to the prince's residence."

He told the whole story in a few words and looked at Lin Guiren innocently, "What's wrong? Do you suspect that I poisoned Xiao Shisi?"

Lin Guiren said in a panic: "No, no, His Highness King Xuan asked me to tell you the specific situation yesterday."

The tenth prince's eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes. He pouted and said aggrievedly to Dongming Ziyu: "Brother, the elder brother did not harm the little fourteenth, he just likes him."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes were slightly cold, "I have no doubts about you, it's just a routine inquiry."

The prince also said: "Xiao Shi, don't think too much. Xiao Shisi's poisoning is related to his father's poisoning. We can't let go of any clues."

The tenth prince glanced at the prince with a resentful look, pointed at his fingers unhappyly, and stopped talking.

Dongming Ziyu ordered in a deep voice: "Bring little Dengzi here."

Everyone in the emperor's palace was controlled, and after a while, little Dengzi was brought over.

Xiao Dengzi said that he had thrown the flower away in the bamboo basket used for garbage in the outer hall. Because something had happened, the emperor's palace was sealed and no one had taken care of the garbage.

Dongming Ziyu sent someone to fetch the garbage bamboo basket. Sure enough, a large bouquet of chrysanthemums was inside, and asked the imperial doctor to check whether it was poisonous.

The prince also ordered people to find the chrysanthemum that the fourteenth prince had thrown away. Although it might have been cleaned up, the garbage in the palace corridor was different from the garbage in the garden, so it should be easy to find.

The palace is under martial law, so the garbage should not have been disposed of yet.

Sure enough, after a while, the chrysanthemum was found.

After examination by the imperial physician, the chrysanthemums were not poisonous.

The tenth prince blinked his eyes in grievance, pursed his lips tightly, and stubbornly refused to let tears flow down.

The prince said distressedly: "Xiao Shi, you go back first."

Dongming Ziyu looked at Lin Guiren, "Do you have anything else to say? If nothing else happens, let the tenth prince go back to watch the funeral."

Lin Guiren wanted to say that the tenth prince pinched the face of the fourteenth prince, but what if he wanted to say it out?

Now that the emperor has passed away and the prince's ascension to the throne has become a big deal, Concubine Shu is the queen mother and the first person in the harem. She and the fourteenth prince still have to depend on others to live.

Regardless of whether the poison was inflicted by the tenth prince, if she held on to him and refused to let him go, she would offend the new emperor and the queen mother, and it would be easy to kill them mother and daughter from now on.

So, he shook his head and said, "No more."

The tenth prince's eyes flashed slightly, and after bowing to the prince and Dongming Ziyu, he exited the hall.

The prince frowned and said, "It seems that we have to investigate the source of the poison."

Dongming Ziyu nodded in agreement, "But this kind of poison is not rare, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to check it."

The prince said: "It seems that it is imperative to restrict the sale of poisons and weapons!"

He decided that after the emperor was buried, he would vigorously implement new trade regulations.

Dongming Ziyu asked Lin Guiren a few more questions and asked her to go back and take care of the fourteenth prince. Together with the prince, they interrogated the people around the fourteenth prince, but no valuable confessions were obtained.

By the time the work was done, the sky had turned pale, and in less than an hour, it was time to get busy again and start the next day's funeral ceremony.

Dongming Ziyu walked slowly in the palace, heading towards the mourning hall, feeling filled with emotion. The man he called his father was gone, but he had never felt his father's love.

At this time, he wanted to return to Prince Xuan's Mansion and stay with Shangguan Ruoli and his children. He would not let his children be like him. Having a father was like not having a father, or even worse than not having a father.

Suddenly, the flowers in front of me moved.

Mo Wen asked coldly: "Who?"
