In the palace, in front of a certain small building, there are guards guarding it all around.
Seeing the two men coming to guard him, he quickly saluted.
Wu Sanshui nodded, then looked at Lin Bai and said, "King Southwest, the person is inside."
With that said, he motioned to the guard to open the door.
"Thank you!"
Lin Bai said casually, without talking nonsense, and strode into the small building.
Wu Sanshui winked at the two guards behind him, and then they followed in.
The small building was quite spacious, and all the utensils were complete. Chu Jingmeng was sitting at the desk, flipping through the books in his hands. Hearing the movement, he couldn't help but look up, and he happened to meet Lin Bai's eyes.
When she saw Lin Bai, the corners of her mouth suddenly raised.
"Mother concubine!"
Lin Bai also quickly stepped forward and asked, "How are you?"
Chu Jingmeng's face was full of relief, her eyes were full of doting, and her voice was a little arrogant as she said: "Don't worry, my son is the Southwest King, and my daughter-in-law is Princess Tianwu. Who dares to do anything to me?"
Hearing what she said, Lin Bai was startled for a moment, and then asked: "What on earth is going on?"
At this time, the two guards also walked in.
Lin Bai was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything. After all, it was someone else's territory, and it was related to the death of his father-in-law.
Chu Jingmeng looked indifferent and said, "Don't worry, let me take a good look at it first!"
She reached out and touched Lin Bai's face, her eyes full of love.
He said: "You seem a little haggard. Did you rush on the road? I thought you would be two days late, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."
"How is your grandma?"
Lin Bai said: "Grandma is very good, but she often talks about you. She always says that her time is running out, and she is afraid that she will not know when she will see you again. This time she came, and she specifically asked her to take you back."
"good!"
Chu Jingmeng smiled and said, "When the matters here are settled, I will go back with you to see your grandma."
"Mother and concubine..."
Lin Bai opened his mouth again to ask.
Chu Jingmeng shook his head and smiled, and said: "You came at the right time. This book is very obscure and my mother and concubine cannot understand it. Please help me and my concubine to read it. My son is the most talented person in the world, so he must understand it." "
As she spoke, she picked up the book on the desk.
Lin Bai frowned slightly and looked at the book. It was suddenly a book on medical skills.
"..."
After walking out of the small building, Lin Bai glanced at Wu Sanshui and said, "Thank you, Commander Wu, for leading the way."
Lin Bai asked again: "May I ask Commander Wu, how was the situation that day?"
Wu Sanshui said coldly: "I'm sorry, King Southwest! This is a secret of the imperial court. I forgive you, Commander, for not being able to tell you until the case is thoroughly investigated."
Lin Bai was a little unhappy, but he didn't get angry. He just said: "Then Commander Lao Wu will take a good look at my mother-in-law."
Wu Sanshui said: "This is my duty as commander."
Lin Bai said: "That would be best. If my mother-in-law is injured in the slightest..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone could hear the warning in them.
For some reason, at that moment, looking at the other party's sharp gaze, Wu Sanshui felt a little frightened, as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast.
Lin Bai didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
"What did you say? Nothing?"
Prince Gong and Wang Chengtai, upon hearing Wu Sanshui's report, could not help but frown and looked at each other.
Wu Sanshui said: "That's true. The two just chatted about some household matters and didn't mention anything about this incident. Lin Qingfeng wanted to ask a few times, but was interrupted by Chu Jingmeng."
The two frowned even more tightly.
Prince Gong was puzzled: "What does this mean? Does Chu Jingmeng have to plead guilty?"
Wang Chengtai also frowned slightly. As the two people who are currently in control of the overall situation, they actually don't believe Chu Jingmeng poisoned His Majesty because the other party had no motive at all. There was no motive before, and it is even less likely now. The two are already in-laws. .
Moreover, even if Chu Jingmeng really wanted to take action, it would be impossible for him to use such clumsy means.
It seems impossible that he is still staying in the palace waiting to be caught.
It is for this reason, as well as the great talent and the third princess behind it, that Chu Jingmeng and the Chu family have always been under house arrest, and nothing has happened for the time being.
Chu Jingmeng had never refuted or admitted it before. In the opinion of the two of them, he was probably afraid that no one would believe him, so he simply kept silent and waited for his son and wife to come.
A king of Southwest and a princess of Tianwu.
If the two of them arrive, no one can wrong her, so...
But what Prince Gong and Wang Chengtai didn't expect was that now that they were here, the other party still didn't say anything, and even deliberately avoided the question, which had to make them confused.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, what should we do now?"
It was obviously not only Prince Gong and Wang Chengtai who were confused, but also the princes who had received the news.
"What? My concubine didn't say anything? Did she stop you on purpose?"
Lin Bai nodded, "This is also what the husband is confused about. Logically speaking, the mother and concubine should not be like this."
The little girl was also there, wanting to say something, but she didn't say anything after all. She was the eighth child, and that was her mother-in-law. How could she say that her mother-in-law didn't deny it? It was probably her mother-in-law who poisoned her. She couldn't say it even to death. She had to Protect shortcomings.
Lin Bai didn't know what she was thinking. He looked at Gu Ling'er and asked, "Do you believe that the concubine was poisoned?"
"Of course I don't believe it!"
Gu Ling'er blurted out without thinking.
The little girl couldn't help but said: "If that's the case, why didn't she say it? My brother-in-law and sister Ling'er are both here."
"Good question!"
Lin Bai said, "Since the mother-in-law doesn't say anything, there must be a reason why she can't."
The little girl asked: "What's the reason?"
Lin Bai thought for a while and asked: "What can make a person refuse to defend himself even if he is wronged?"
The little girl scratched her head and curled her lips and said, "How can there be such a stupid person?"
"have!"
Lin Bai and Gu Linger said in unison.
The little girl was startled for a moment and looked at the two of them in surprise.
Gu Ling'er immediately said: "Protect someone she thinks is more important than herself."
The little girl still looked confused.
Gu Ling'er continued: "Assuming that this matter has something to do with my husband, then the mother-in-law would definitely rather bear it on her own than say anything about it."
The little girl looked confused, "But how could this be related to my brother-in-law? My brother-in-law is in the southwest."
"right!"
Gu Ling'er nodded and did not continue talking, because it was obvious that if it was not her husband, then it could only be the Chu family. It was the Chu family that the mother-in-law wanted to protect, but how could the Chu family...
Lin Bai looked at her and asked, "Do you believe it?"
Gu Ling'er shook her head, "But the mother-in-law..."
Obviously, she still didn't believe it, but her mother-in-law's abnormality made her very confused. If it had nothing to do with the Chu family, why would the mother-in-law be like this?
Lin Bai said: "I don't believe it either, but there must be a reason for the mother-in-law to do this, and it's not like the mother-in-law didn't say anything. She was hinting me to find someone."
Gu Ling'er hurriedly asked: "Who?"
Lin Bai said: "Sun Changchun, the miracle doctor."
