Quick Wear: I'm Wandering in My Little World

Chapter 362: The Palace Maids Are Not to Be Tried With 3

Others didn't know, but Zhang Xintong knew that the commander of the Imperial Guard liked Dong Shuang and had proposed to her before. Marriage must be based on mutual love, so Zhang Xintong naturally asked Dong Shuang's opinion. Dong Shuang refused, saying that she didn't like the commander of the Imperial Guard.

Zhang Xintong didn't tell anyone about this, so no one else knew.

The person who poisoned last night was a woman with great martial arts skills. Today, the birds were poisoned by the commander of the Royal Guards, and he refused to reveal the person behind it. Zhang Xintong had no choice but to suspect Dong Shuang.

If it was Dong Shuang, Zhang Xintong really couldn't guess why she did this. She was very kind to the four palace maids, and Xiao Yuan was also good to them. She also had great power in the palace. Why would she do this?

Xiao Yuan brought people back to Yangxin Palace and asked Zhang Xintong and Dong Shuang

"Xia He, Dong Shuang, who do you think is behind this?"

Zhang Xintong wanted to hear what Dongshuang had to say, so she didn't say anything.

Dong Shuang thought for a moment and said

"Your Majesty, I suspect it was done by those ministers. They have always been dissatisfied with a woman being the emperor."

Xiao Yuan nodded. She thought so too, but she didn't know which minister had such courage?

"Let's see the results of the interrogation at the Dali Temple!"

Xiao Yuan dealt with the funerals of Xiao Yu and Zhang Xintong this month, which delayed a lot of government affairs. She began to review memorials.

That day was peaceful and nothing else happened. When Xiao Yuan went to bed at night, Zhang Xintong asked for a few days off.

"Your Majesty, I want to check on the situation in the palace. I won't be here for a few days. Is that okay?"

"Xia He, did you find anything unusual?"

Dong Shuang was also there, and Zhang Xintong deliberately said it to her.

"Your Majesty, I couldn't sleep yesterday, so I went to the Imperial Gardens and found a palace maid poisoning the pond. She was very skilled in martial arts, so I couldn't catch up. I suspect someone has been planted in the palace, and I want to investigate."

"Okay, then go ahead and investigate! Investigate thoroughly. You don't have to worry about me here."

"Your Majesty, please be careful recently, especially with what you eat and wear."

"Don't worry! My medical skills and poison techniques are better than yours. No one can hurt me."

"This servant is worried. Your Majesty should pay more attention."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. Go ahead and investigate. Come back when you've found everything."

The next day, news arrived from the Dali Temple that the commander of the Imperial Guard had committed suicide. He had used his internal energy to strike himself on the head, leaving himself no chance of survival, and there was no chance of treatment.

That line was broken, and Zhang Xintong started to investigate in the harem. There were many people arranged by various forces in the harem. Zhang Xintong did not clear them out before because after killing one group, another group would come in and it was impossible to stop them.

Zhang Xintong mainly checked the palace maids and nannies in the laundry department. In the previous life, the rats rioted and all ran to the ground and ran around. It started from the laundry department.

There was a palace maid named Xiaocao in the laundry department. Xia He had found her in her previous life, but she died suddenly, leaving Xia He without any clues.

Zhang Xintong understood Xiaocao's interpersonal relationships thoroughly and watched her for two days. She finally discovered that Xiaocao fed food to mice, and after the mice ate, their eyes turned red and they ran around in panic.

The food prepared by Xiaocao was very attractive, and all the mice underground came out to eat. Zhang Xintong did not stop them. She was determined to catch the person behind them this time.

Zhang Xintong has been following Xiaocao, waiting for someone to come and silence her so that she can find out who is behind it.

On the night of the rat riot, Zhang Xintong waited for the person who would silence her. It was a nanny. Zhang Xintong felt that the nanny looked familiar, but she had forgotten where she had seen her before.

Zhang Xintong knocked the nanny and Xiaocao unconscious and took them back to her room for interrogation.

The two were a little confused when they woke up, but after seeing the situation clearly, the nanny began to beg for mercy.

"Miss Xia He, why did you arrest an old woman like me? Let me go!"

Zhang Xintong sneered

"You actually know me. Whose nanny are you?"

Mammy didn't give a direct answer

"Miss Xia He, you must have a reason for arresting me! What did I do?"

Zhang Xintong was too lazy to argue and took out the truth pill. The truth pill was made in the Phoenix and Dragon King worlds, and there were high-level and low-level ones.

If a god takes the high-level truth pill, he will tell the truth and forget the experience of being questioned. Zhang Xintong was reluctant to give it to two mortals.

Low-level truth pills are enough for them, but they will remember the experience of being questioned after being asked.

Before they could feed them the truth pill, there was a knock on Zhang Xintong's door.

Zhang Xintong covered their mouths and pushed them behind the bed, then went to open the door. It was Dongshuang who came in.

"Dongshuang, is something wrong?"

"Xia He, His Majesty asked me to bring you a bowl of ginseng soup. Please drink it quickly! I'm still waiting to report back."

Zhang Xintong took the ginseng soup and found that there were poisonous insects in it. No wonder Xia He died in her previous life.

The poisonous insects in the ginseng soup are the lowest level ones. Zhang Xintong had played with poisonous insects when she was a little girl, and had also poisoned the nine-headed snake demon Xiang Liu. Although she was not an expert in playing with poisonous insects, she could still recognize the lowest level of poisonous insects.

A true master of Gu doesn't even need to poison people through food; he can do it silently.

Dong Shuang seemed to be afraid that Zhang Xintong would find out about her, so she couldn't help but take action. It was obviously much later in her previous life.

Xia He and Dong Shuang's martial arts skills are similar. Strictly speaking, Dong Shuang is a little bit stronger. Zhang Xintong didn't want her to run away, so she let her into the house.

Dongshuang wanted Zhang Xintong to drink soup, so she followed her in.

After Dong Shuang came in, Zhang Xintong directly took her into the space and made her faint.

Zhang Xintong pulled Nanny and Xiaocao out from behind the bed and fed each of them a low-level truth pill.

Xiaocao's confession was very simple. She agreed to do it because the nanny promised her a huge profit.

Nanny was Dong Shuang's maid, and she did it at Dong Shuang's behest. Zhang Xintong guessed that Dong Shuang was afraid of being exposed because she saw that the man hadn't returned yet, so she came to cast the curse.

Zhang Xintong ordered her four maids to escort Xiaocao and Nanny to the Yangxin Palace. She tied Dongshuang tightly in the space, ensuring that she couldn't break free before releasing her and escorting her back to the Yangxin Palace.

Dong Shuang didn't know why she was suddenly tied up.

"Xia He, what are you doing?"

"Wait until I see His Majesty in the Yangxin Palace and you'll have something to say. Now shut up!"

Xiao Yuan was a little surprised when she saw Xia He escorting Dong Shuang and two other people in. She had always trusted the four palace maids chosen for her by Zhang Xintong.

Zhang Xintong said she was covering her face when she saw Xiao Yuan's trust. She didn't know what went wrong, as people's hearts were fickle and she had no way of controlling them.

Zhang Xintong bows

"Your Majesty, I have caught the real culprit behind the rat riot. The palace maid Xiaocao was the executor, the order came from Madam, and it was Dongshuang who told Madam to do it."

Dong Shuang was unaware that she had been exposed and was still crying out for justice.

"Your Majesty, you can't just listen to Xia He's words. I didn't do it."

Zhang Xintong asked Xiaocao and the nanny to repeat their confessions, but Dongshuang still refused to admit it.

"Your Majesty, I didn't do it. It was Xia He who wronged me."
