Hearing the noise, Qing Shui immediately opened the door and walked in, "What's wrong? Your Highness the Princess is having a nightmare?"
Qing Shui slept hazily and dimly lit the candle. Then she walked to the bed and helped Du Qianyi sit up.
Du Qianyi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "I just had a dream. I dreamed that I was killed by Liu Shengsheng. There were two people I knew well beside Liu Shengsheng. One of them was Banxia..."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and patted her chest, "I finally know that I forgot something important, that is, that Pinellia ternata. If the prince brother saw that woman, then Liu Shengsheng must have seen it too. , Although the prince brother did not bring the person back, Liu Shengsheng cannot let go of this opportunity to deal with me!"
Having said this, Du Qianyi hugged her head tremblingly.
"She will definitely try her best to bring people back. Qingshui, you go and bribe some people right now. They must be people from the Jianghu. You can't let anyone know that I bribed them. You must let them stop Banxia. Go back to the capital! It's best to kill them and silence them!" Kan Shula
Qing Shui quickly patted her back, "Your Highness, don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare. I will take care of the things you are worried about right away..."
"Go! Hurry!"
Du Qianyi pushed her away and then retreated into the bed.
Recalling the suffering she suffered at the hands of Liu Shengsheng, she felt terrified in her heart.
No, she must not sit still and wait for death!
We must find a way to deal with Liu Shengsheng before she takes action...
It's already dawn.
But Du Baili on the other side stayed awake all night.
Although he was locked up in his own palace, his heart was still in a state of agitation. He walked around the room all night, and even when he lay back on the bed, he could not fall asleep.
Who released that snake?
Liu Shengsheng is usually so smart, there is no way she would doubt herself without any evidence...
She didn't put that snake in her palace at all. If it was really her, she couldn't be stupid enough to stay there and wait for them to come back to catch her. Liu Shengsheng must have known this, but why did she insist on it as soon as she came out? Kill yourself?
This is not her style at all.
The only possible explanation is that she did it on purpose...
Did she doubt herself on purpose?
Thinking of this, Du Baili quickly shook his head, "Impossible. Shengsheng is kind-hearted and there is absolutely no way she would do such a thing..."
That is to say, he had deceived her in the first place, causing her to not trust him at all, so she would doubt herself whenever there was any trouble...
Maybe this can explain it...
Du Baili was flustered, "She is still angry with me, no wonder she doesn't believe me."
While he was muttering, a palace maid's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Your Highness, I have already investigated the matter you asked me to investigate."
Du Baili immediately sat up from the bed, "How is it?"
The palace maid said cautiously: "His Fifth Highness also went there at that time, and his people did have contact with those in the prison..."
After a pause, she continued: "Now, those people in the prison all insist that it was Your Highness the Second Highness who asked them to put the snake in Her Highness the Princess's palace, and the Queen also believed what they said, although The slave is not sure who bribed those people, but what is certain is that those people did release the snake..."
"Fifth brother..."
Du Baili fell into deep thought.
He and his fifth brother are not particularly similar in personality, so they didn't spend much time playing together since they were young.
We might have played together often when we were young, but when we grow up, we only come into contact with them once a year or so.
The fifth brother is relatively close to the fourth brother, and maintains a close relationship with the other brothers.
Besides his fourth brother, he is also the one who loves Du Qianyi the most.
From this point of view, even he can make sense...
But he just wanted to teach Liu Shengsheng a lesson, why would he plot against himself?
This doesn't make sense at all...
Even if they are not as close as before in the past few years, they are still brothers after all. Is that impossible?
"Your Highness, should we report this matter to the Queen? Maybe the Queen will be able to find out the truth if she goes to investigate in person..."
"What if it is found out that those servants had contact with the fifth brother? Now they insist that I released the snake, and Shengsheng also said that someone wanted to assassinate her. This is no longer just a matter of a snake, Queen Mother They will definitely investigate carefully, but even if they can find out, if those people insist that I released the snake, and if the fifth brother is unwilling to admit it, then..."
Having said this, Du Baili sighed deeply.
The palace maid outside whispered: "Is it just possible for His Highness the Fifth Prince to plot against you like this?"
Du Baili sighed, "I don't believe that fifth brother would do such an outrageous thing. Let's wait a little longer."
"..."
That night, countless people in the palace could not sleep.
Liu Shengsheng, on the other hand, had a good sleep after the incident, and did not wake up until daybreak.
Nan Muze had already woken up and was sitting next to the bed. Seeing her open her eyes, he bent down and kissed her forehead, "Everything is within the plan, you can continue to rest."
Liu Shengsheng stretched out, "What's in the plan?"
Nan Muze curled his lips, "I have inadvertently revealed the truth to Du Baili's subordinates. Perhaps Du Baili has understood everything at this moment."
Liu Shengsheng immediately came to her senses, "The truth? Do you know the truth?"
Nanmu Ze said: "Our secret guards have been guarding the area here. Although we did not see the fifth prince coming to release the snake, we saw with our own eyes that the fifth prince's people had contact with several of our palace maids. From this It can be seen that the snake is closely related to the fifth prince."
"Why didn't you say anything yesterday?"
"The queen was here yesterday, so the secret guards couldn't show up easily. Then you took a rest, so I specially summoned you and asked a few questions, and I found out everything."
Looking at Nan Muze with an indifferent expression, Liu Shengsheng felt inexplicably relieved, "It's you who saved us a lot of trouble."
Nan Muze touched her head and said, "The fifth prince must be here to vent his anger on Du Qianyi, so in the end it is Du Qianyi who we need to deal with."
Liu Shengsheng nodded, "I don't know what my stupid second brother is thinking now..."
For some reason, Liu Shengsheng felt very happy when she thought of this.
But it's not enough.
She deliberately said there was an assassin just to make the matter bigger. It would be a pity if the matter was left unsolved so easily...
