Chapter 880 Doubts

Author: Ren Zelin

Xie Pan'er never expected that she would hurt the emperor's heart both indirectly and directly with such a casual question.

"He is in the side hall, looking for clues!"

Xie Pan'er nodded, "That's good! As long as Ji Shen is here, the real murderer will never be able to escape!"

This is the truth, and this is definitely what Xie Paner thinks.

But when the emperor heard it, his heart was stabbed hard.

The sound of the Queen Mother's arrival came from outside!

Everyone in the room knelt down to welcome the Queen Mother!

The Queen Mother came in and walked straight to the Emperor's bed without caring about anything else.

"What's wrong? How could a good person be poisoned?

What about the eunuch who tastes food?

Why didn’t they test and find out that the food was poisonous?”

The Queen Mother started asking questions as soon as she arrived and quickly checked on the emperor's situation!

Very anxious!

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. This is not a fatal poison. The imperial doctors have detoxified my son. It will be fine!"

When the Queen Mother heard that the poison had been detoxified, she felt relieved and asked quickly, "How is the investigation?

Who gave this poison?

Hurry and find out for the Ai family, the Ai family will definitely cut that man into pieces!"

The Queen Mother had just finished getting angry here, and Ji Youzhi walked out of the side hall over there!

"Your Majesty! Empress! Detective Ji Shen has finished inspecting the side hall and is here."

A little guard reminded me!

Everyone's eyes are looking towards Ji Youzhi

Xie Pan'er took a step forward, came to Ji Youzhi, and asked: "How is it? Are there any clues? Who wants to poison His Majesty?"

Seeing Xie Pan'er's anxious look, Ji Youzhi was stunned for a moment, glanced at the emperor without any trace, secretly lowered the corners of his raised lips, and said quickly: "We haven't decided yet!"

The Queen Mother was also staring at Ji Youzhi closely at this time, glaring at his answer!

The emperor lowered his eyes and did not look at the interaction between Ji Youzhi and Xie Pan'er!

Xiao Ning'er jumped up and said: "It's really interesting. Who else could poison the emperor's cousin besides you? You are still here shouting "Catch the thief!"

Xiao Ning'er jumped up, just in time for Ji Youzhi to notice her!

"Are you Miss Xiao Ning'er from the Zhenguo Palace?"

Hearing Ji Youzhi's inquiry, Xiao Ning'er snorted disdainfully and said, "It's me! You still have some eyesight, you know this lady!"

Ji You looked her up and down, and then asked: "You just said that Miss Xie was the one who poisoned me. What evidence do you have, or what clues do you have?"

Hearing Ji Youzhi's question, Xiao Ning'er became excited, and she quickly said: "I've heard it all, the emperor's cousin didn't eat anything at all today, he just ate some wild vegetable pancakes from Xie Pan'er's place

!

That wild vegetable pancake was made by Xie Pan'er herself. Besides her, who else could poison the emperor's cousin?"

Ji Youzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"If according to what Miss Xiao Ning'er said, whoever poisoned this thing is the one who poisoned it, then should Miss Xie go out and behead her immediately?"

"Of course. Cousin Emperor, please give the order! Get this vicious-hearted woman out and behead her in public!"

When Xiao Ning'er said this, her entire face was filled with a vicious expression, as ferocious as she wanted to be!

Seeing such a face, the emperor didn't want to say anything more. He turned around and asked Ji Youzhidao: "Do you have any clues?"

Ji Youzhi shook his head, "I still have no clue."

"No clue?" The emperor looked at Xie Pan'er worriedly. Although he had finished eating the wild vegetable pancakes and had nothing left, he had not eaten anything else. At present, the possibility of the wild vegetable pancakes being poisonous was extremely high.

big.

Once you can't find any poisonous food nearby, then thank Pan'er...

The emperor's worried expression fell into Ji Youzhi's eyes. He was actually very relieved. He had just noticed that Xie Pan'er was actually very worried about the emperor's condition.

"Don't worry, even if you can't find any clues, I can still find out who the real murderer is!"

The emperor never doubted Ji Youzhi's ability, and said: "Everything is left to you! You can go and investigate with confidence! No matter who it is, as long as it is found out that he is the real culprit, I will not let him off lightly!"

Ji Youzhi nodded, raised his hands and said "yes".

Xiao Ning'er's voice intervened!

"Oh, cousin Emperor, what are you still checking?

This poison must have been administered by Xie Paner, there is no need to investigate!"

Xiao Ning'er has said this many times, and every time she said it firmly.

"Miss Xiao Ning'er! I don't know why you always say so firmly that the poison was caused by Miss Xie?

Do you have any witnesses? Or physical evidence?"

As soon as Ji Youzhi said this, Xiao Ning'er became anxious.

"I am the witness!

I saw with my own eyes that His Majesty had lunch. He didn’t eat anything else, but he ate all the wild vegetable pancakes.”

Ji Youzhi heard this and said, "So, when His Majesty the Emperor and Miss Xie were having dinner, Miss Xiao Ning'er was also there?"

"Of course I am. If I were not here, wouldn't I be wronging her?"

Ji Youzhi looked at Xie Pan'er. Currently, there is no evidence to prove that Xie Pan'er poisoned her, but there is also no evidence to prove that Xie Pan'er did not poison her.

But all the clues point to her!

“Where do the ingredients for making wild vegetable pancakes come from?”

As soon as Ji Youzhi raised this question, Xie Pan'er couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes.

"Do you really doubt that I was the one who poisoned you?"

The emperor couldn't help but look towards Ji Youzhi.

Ji Youzhi shook his head: "Every possibility must be investigated. Even if all of us believe you, the source of the poison must be investigated clearly!"

"We don't have wild vegetables in the palace. The purchasers from the imperial kitchen bring them to me every day when they go out to buy. The flour and cooking oil are from the small kitchen of Wanhua Palace. I haven't touched any of them!

"

Ji Youzhi quickly called out Long Wu.

"Captain Longwu! Please take two imperial doctors to the small kitchen of Wanhua Palace to check all the utensils and food in it!"

"yes!"

"You'd better check her room. Maybe there's poison hidden in her room!"

Long Wu glanced at Ji Youzhi!

Ji Youzhi nodded and added: "Search the rooms of Miss Xiao Ning'er and Miss Xie together!"

Xiao Ning'er couldn't help but open her eyes wide and shouted at Ji Youzhi: "Why do you want to search my room?"

"Why?" Ji Youzhi chuckled, "Actually, His Majesty's poisoning is not necessarily a food problem. Now that the source of the poison cannot be found, the scope of investigation will be huge. Not only the food, but also His Majesty's today.

Everyone and everything that has come into contact must be thoroughly investigated! If I guess correctly, Miss Xiao Ning'er will have dinner with His Majesty today!"

Xiao Ning'er nodded, "Of course! I am the cousin of the emperor's cousin. What's wrong with me having a meal with him? Is it possible that I can poison my own cousin?"

"I didn't say that! I have to find out whether it was you who poisoned me!"

After Ji Youzhi said this, he winked at Long Wu.

Long Wu quickly took the people out and went out.

"Hmph! Just check, no one is afraid of whom!"

She didn’t poison the emperor’s cousin anyway!

When Ji Youzhi saw Xiao Ning'er folding her hands and muttering, she couldn't help but shake her head. The little girl was so innocent.

I really don’t understand how the Duke of Zhenguo raised her up. The deep palace is dangerous, doesn’t she know this?

If a person who has no heart for the city really enters the emperor's harem, he doesn't know how he will die!

"Miss Xiao Ning'er, can I ask you about your lunch with His Majesty today?"

Xiao Ning'er shut up and didn't speak.

Ji Youzhi added: "You are also highly suspected now. If you don't tell and conceal the clues, then your crime will be to poison His Majesty! You will be beheaded!"

Xiao Ning'er was frightened when she heard Ji Youzhi's words.

Empress Dowager Xiao on the side also said coldly: "If you don't say anything, the Ai family will have you imprisoned in the sky prison. When will you want to say it, the Ai family will release you!"

Queen Mother Xiao is a person who doesn't get angry easily, but it is about the life of her precious son, so she will not tolerate it even if it is her niece!

"Aunt!" Xiao Ning'er acted coquettishly towards Queen Mother Xiao, but when she raised her head, she saw the angry look on Queen Mother Xiao's face. In an instant, she quickly knelt down and recounted what happened during today's meal!

"Today is indeed the meal that I, the emperor's cousin, and Xie Pan'er had together. I worked hard to cook many delicious dishes for the emperor's cousin, but the emperor's cousin didn't appreciate it. He only ate what Xie Pan'er cooked.

I didn’t even eat a bite of the wild vegetable pancake!

Aunt, I really didn’t murder the emperor’s cousin! You have to believe Ning’er!”

Queen Mother Xiao turned her attention to Ji Youzhi.

Ji Youzhi looked at Xie Pan'er again, "Miss Xie! Is what Miss Xiao Ning'er said true?"

Xie Pan'er nodded and said, "The first part of what she said is right, but I don't know the other part."

"?"

Everyone looked at her with doubts!

"It's like this. I felt a little unwell, so I didn't eat and left first. When I left, His Majesty did eat the wild vegetable pancakes I made, and Miss Xiao Ning'er personally served them to Your Majesty!

"

"Um?"

When Ji Youzhi heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Friend! What's wrong with this?"

Ji Youzhi did not answer the emperor's words, but turned his gaze to Xie Pan'er and confirmed: "Are you sure that the wild vegetable pancakes you made were made by Miss Xiao Ning'er personally for His Majesty?"

Xie Pan'er nodded, "I'm sure that His Majesty enjoyed the meal very happily!"

When Xie Paner said this, she unconsciously added another sentence!

Ji Youzhi just looked towards the emperor, with some indescribable meaning on his face!

The emperor looked puzzled and reached out to touch his face.

"Is there something wrong with my face?"

Ji Youzhi shook his head and continued to ask Xie Pan'er: "Then after you left the table, did you take away your bowls and chopsticks?"
