Chapter 944
Lingyue quickly inquired about the news: "Princess, Xiao Yan was poisoned after the Yuan family met Princess Anping. This matter must be caused by Princess Anping."

The deepness in Rong Jiu's eyes faded, and he said softly: "If Xiao Yu didn't stop Yuan Shi, we could take this opportunity to bring down the Xiao family and Princess Anping."

"Xiao Ruo is seriously ill. Princess Anping asked His Majesty to let her stay in Chang'an to take care of the sick, and His Majesty agreed."

Princess Anping is very filial, if the Emperor of Chu refuses to agree, it will inevitably come true.

"Father will definitely send the imperial physician to see him. What does the imperial physician say?"

"The doctor can't diagnose the cause."

Xiao Ruo was well-behaved, but suddenly became seriously ill, she must have resorted to some means to make Princess Anping stay in Chang'an in a legitimate way.

Princess Anping dared to instigate Yuan Shi to plot against her, this account must be settled carefully.

Some things cannot be suppressed by anyone who wants to calm down.

On the second day, Rong Jiu went to the palace to find Emperor Chu, who thought she came because of Xiao Ruo's serious illness.

"Physician Zhou has already gone to see her, Xiao's illness is terminal."

"That's just an illusion. Xiao Ruo should be poisoning herself. Her goal is to keep Princess Anping, and she won't risk her life."

Emperor Chu's spirit shone slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Would you like to go and have a look?"

Rong Jiu shook his head: "I'll talk about this later. Yesterday, Xiao Yan went to the princess mansion. Princess Anping instigated Yuan to poison Xiao Yan and blame me. She wanted to report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but Xiao Yu stopped me. Today, I want to ask for a thorough investigation."

Emperor Chu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he remained silent for a long time, before he said: "The Xiao family suppressed it secretly, and if they want to investigate, there is no trace to investigate. If one is not careful, it will be easy to be bitten by the Xiao family."

"The imperial physician's order can testify to this matter. The imperial physician's order found a highly poisonous osmanthus cake." Rong Jiu said, raising his eyes to look at Emperor Chu, "Now that your daughter has been wronged, I want to breathe out, father Emperor, what do you think?"

"Sure." Emperor Chu immediately ordered Cao Shangshu to take over the thorough investigation.

Cao Shangshu supported his forehead and lamented, this is the Xiao family and Princess Anping again, he really violated the Tai Sui this year.

"Sir Shen is like a god in solving cases, why didn't the princess go to Dali Temple?"

"Avoid suspicion." Rong Jiu smiled, and continued, "Master Cao has offended the Xiao family not once or twice, why haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

"."

Cao Shangshu wants to cry but has no tears. Who wants to get used to this kind of bad luck!

Rong Jiu and Cao Shangshu went to Xiao's house. Prime Minister Xiao's eyes were dim, and he asked, "Why do you want to alarm the princess and Mr. Cao to come to the house in person?"

Rong Jiu took out the imperial decree of Emperor Chu: "Xiao Yan was poisoned after eating osmanthus cake. Since this matter is related to me, it is natural to find out."

Xiao Yu's apricot eyes were deep, and he said calmly: "We have already found out about Yan'er's poisoning. Yan'er sneaked out of the house. My sister-in-law was in a hurry and scolded the servant a few times. Put poison in the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I don't want to alarm the princess."

Rong Jiu raised his lips, seeming to be smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes: "The Xiao family claims to be a master of chess, but I didn't expect that they would be willing to be a chess piece of Princess Anping in order to calm things down. It's really unpredictable. .”

Cao Shangshu secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the Xiao family wanted to calm things down, but he didn't expect Rong Jiu to hold on to him, and he couldn't help feeling bitter.

Xiao Yu's face was ugly, and his tone was a bit cold: "It's just a misunderstanding, the princess is making use of it, what is her intention?"
