"Reporting to the governor, the poison this woman was poisoned was actually Five Poison Powder," said the doctor.
"Really?" Zhang Fuyin's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and his sharp eyes glanced at the woman, "Do you know the crime?"
The woman's heart trembled when he saw him, and she was a little panicked, but she stiffened her neck and said, "The civilian woman was wronged..."
"You still dare to quibble?" Zhang Fuyin snorted coldly, slammed the table, and shouted, "Who is the person behind you? Conspiracy against the royal family is a serious crime of beheading! If you tell the truth and the princess is merciful, maybe you can still Spare your life!"
When the woman heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, but she remained silent.
Mu Nanxi narrowed her eyes slightly, and a look of inquiry flashed across her eyes.
"Zhang Fuyin, it seems that this woman's idea was her own. According to the law, if she is put in prison, the man should also be let go."
Mu Nanxi glanced at Zhang Fuyin, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.
Zhang Fuyin understood that she had made a decision in her heart, so she obeyed Mu Nanxi's wishes and decisively ordered the woman to be taken into custody, while the man was immediately released.
Two government officials responded and immediately took the woman away.
The woman's eyes were full of fear and helplessness.
The man stood up awkwardly from the ground, and with stumbling steps, he pushed aside the crowd of onlookers and left desperately.
The onlookers saw everything that happened in the hall and understood that the woman had framed the princess. They also saw that the wishful ointment was a good thing.
At the end of the day, Mu Nanxi asked Linglong to post a notice in front of Bocaoxuan that she would open on the next day, and she began to investigate the person behind the false accusation to avoid future troubles.
She didn't really intend to let the man go. There were so many loopholes in his words and deeds that there must be something wrong with him.
The man stumbled and walked into a dilapidated alley. Mu Nanxi followed him quietly without causing the man to notice at all.
Mu Nanxi was hiding in the dark when she saw the man push open the door and walk into a dilapidated yard. Inside, a pregnant woman who was washing clothes got up quickly, wiped her wet hands clean on her body, and went to meet him.
"Why are you looking so pale, but what happened?" The woman saw the man's pale face, with a worried look on his face, and tightly grasped the man's sleeves with both hands.
The man forced a smile, held the woman's hand in his, and shook his head slowly, "I was scolded by Xu Yanei when loading goods at the dock. It's okay."
The woman's voice was urgent: "Did Xu Yanei beat you again and deduct your wages?"
"No." The man smiled. "You still have a big belly, so don't worry about it."
The man looked at the woman's calloused hands and was silent for a moment. "It's really hard on you. I will definitely make you two live a good life in the future."
Mu Nanxi listened in the dark, but she didn't expect that this timid and fearful man would still love his wife.
I guess the person behind the scenes must have promised him money before he dared to cause trouble on her territory.
"Madam, come in and have a rest. I'll wash those clothes." The man held the pregnant woman's waist and helped her into the house.
"We have to see if you are healed." Mu Nanxi walked forward slowly, his voice cold.
When the man heard this voice, his body couldn't help but trembled. He turned around and frowned when he saw the person coming.
"Who is this little lady?" The woman looked at Mu Nanxi, who looked like a fairy, and asked softly.
The man stared at Mu Nanxi, protecting his wife behind him: "What are you going to do!"
"If you tell me the whole story obediently, I won't do anything, otherwise..." Mu Nanxi stood still in front of the man and looked at the woman behind him with an inquisitive look.
The man looked behind Mu Nanxi without leaving any trace, and felt relieved after confirming that no one was following him.
He didn't believe that a little girl who was not as tall as him could threaten him.
If he dares to hurt his wife, it doesn't matter if she is a princess.
He killed people and buried them in the loess without anyone noticing.
Thinking of this, the man's frowning eyebrows slowly relaxed, and his expression became less nervous.
Mu Nanxi saw all the changes in the man's expression and guessed what he was thinking.
Mu Nanxi rushed forward, raised her hand and touched the man's acupuncture point, then walked around behind the man, pulled the woman's clothes around the back of her neck, and took the man back a few steps.
Her movements were so fast that the man didn't react at all. When he did, she found that he couldn't move.
"You, you let her go!" The man's pupils swelled in fear.
He should have thought of it a long time ago, he had already seen it when he was at Bocaoxuan.
"Hiroro!"
The woman screamed and tried to pull the man away. Mu Nanxi heard the harsh voice and applied a massage to the woman's acupuncture point.
Mu Nanxi moved the woman who could not move and placed her in front of the man.
"Your wife is in my hands now. If you don't tell me, I can't guarantee that she and the child in her belly will live to see the sun tomorrow."
The man spoke hurriedly without any delay: "Let me tell you!"
"I was loading goods at the dock yesterday. A man who looked like a rich man came to me and gave me five taels of silver to go make trouble today."
"Do you still remember his appearance?"
"Um."
"Do you have pen and paper at home?"
"No."
Mu Nanxi thought for a while, then picked up a branch from the corner and squatted on the ground, "Tell me, what does she look like."
"He is six feet tall, has a strong build, and has a mole at the corner of his eye..." The man recalled carefully, not daring to slack off at all.
Mu Nanxi drew the man's appearance on the ground based on the appearance he described. Looking at the familiar face, her expression became gloomy.
With sharp eyes, she stood up, looked at the man, and asked, "But this person?"
"That's him!" The man looked at Mu Nanxi with pleading eyes, swallowed nervously, and asked in a low voice: "Princess...Princess, I have said what I should say, can you let us go?"
Mu Nanxi glanced at the pregnant woman with red eyes, then raised her hands to untie the couple's acupuncture points.
The man hurriedly stepped forward to support his wife, looking at Mu Nanxi with eyes full of vigilance, fearing that Mu Nanxi would take action against them again.
"You and your wife had better keep silent about my coming here, otherwise it won't be as simple as it is now." Mu Nanxi said coldly.
The man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, princess, don't worry, common people will keep their mouths shut."
Mu Nanxi turned around and left with a cold face.
When the man saw her figure completely disappearing from his sight, his heart dropped, and he comforted his wife and went into the house to rest.
By the time Mu Nanxi returned to the palace, it was already dark.
As soon as she entered Shaoyunxuan, she saw all the female envoys in the courtyard holding their faces and holding their breaths, and she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.
"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to sweep the fallen leaves of the sycamore tree? What's going on?" Mu Nanxi frowned as she looked at the female envoy who was diligently sweeping the fallen leaves of her beloved sycamore.
The female envoy looked up at her, looking aggrieved and unable to express herself.
Mu Nanxi curled her lips, it seemed that the big Buddha was here, otherwise who could command the people in her courtyard.
She took a few deep breaths, put a false smile on her lips, and walked inside.
"The prince is here!" Qi Zhiheng heard his voice before he saw him.
As soon as Mu Nanxi entered the door, she saw a table full of delicacies. She was already hungry, and she felt an unwelcome man walking in out of the corner of her eye.
"What a big table of food!" She rushed to the table, sat on the drum pillar, and hugged the round wooden table.
Qi Zhiheng's face darkened and he coughed twice.
Mu Nanxi just pretended not to hear, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a large piece of yellow bud and stuffed it into his mouth.
Qi Zhiheng stared and couldn't believe it. This woman just treated him like nothing?
"Cough! Cough!" He snorted twice more.
Mu Nanxi lowered his head and rolled his eyes.
If you are sick, treat her. Why is she here coughing all the time?
Although she was complaining in her heart, she wanted to ask someone for something, so she still had to force out a smile to deal with it: "Is your throat uncomfortable, Your Majesty? Do you want to drink some wine to moisten your throat?"
Mu Nanxi stood up and filled Qi Zhiheng's wine glass personally.
Qi Zhiheng's expression softened slightly, he raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.
"Why did the prince want to come to Shaoyunxuan for dinner today?" Mu Nanxi diligently refilled Qi Zhiheng's wine glass.
"The Empress Dowager's birthday will be in five days. Have you prepared the birthday ceremony?"
It turned out that it was for the Empress Dowager's birthday. She thought Qi Zhiheng was crazy and wanted to eat at the same table with her!
Mu Nanxi sat back in her seat, "I can give the prince a try tomorrow."
"Try?" Qi Zhiheng was puzzled.
Mu Nanxi pretended to be mysterious and said: "It will be announced tomorrow!"
She picked up a piece of steamed fish in front of her, put it on a plate, picked out the thorns, and handed it to Qi Zhiheng.
"My lord, please try it, is it delicious?" Mu Nanxi smiled lightly and stared at Qi Zhiheng expectantly.
Qi Zhiheng naturally picked up the chopsticks, took a small piece and put it into his mouth, saying: "Not bad."
Mu Nanxi took a big mouthful now with confidence.
The steamed fish was not cooked well but it was very unpalatable. She didn't want an unpalatable dish to ruin her mood of tasting other delicacies.
Rongfeng, who was standing behind Qi Zhiheng, had a stern look on his face.
If he read correctly, the chopsticks used to hold the fish must have been used by the princess.
When the prince was marching and fighting, he never ate anything touched by others under any harsh conditions!
"Your Majesty, can you help me check the traces of Li Shaopeng?" Mu Nanxi's cheeks bulged.
"Why?" the prince asked, his tone flat.
His tone was so calm that it made people think that he didn't care that Li Shaopeng was the nephew of the current queen, nor did he care about the power of the Li family.
Mu Nanxi shrugged indifferently, "I just want to kill him."
Her tone was understated, as if she was talking about something trivial.
Hearing this, Rongfeng took a deep breath.
His princess is really hot!
Qi Zhiheng raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Thinking of what Rong Feng told him today about the opening of Mu Nan Xi Bo Cao Xuan, he had probably guessed it.
"Is he the one causing trouble today?" he asked.
Mu Nanxi nodded.
Qi Zhiheng's expression did not change, and he ordered in a calm tone: "Rongfeng, go and check."
"Yes." Rongfeng held his hands and retreated.
