2162 It’s related to the position of the Crown Prince
“Or did the three of you plot to kill His Highness and Shijie?” The Queen looked at the three brothers with a sharp gaze.....
The fourth master was the first to bow down. The second and third master looked at each other and didn’t dare to say anything.
Gu Xin raised her eyebrows. The princess Consort’s words were still effective. Since the princess Consort had spoken, she would search the room.
She had originally thought of this method, but there were so many places where the Bai family’s master and servant lived, and every big family had their own privacy. Therefore, she had planned to lay the foundations first. She didn’t expect the princess Consort to bring it up directly.
What made Gu Xin feel strange was that the wives of the Bai brothers did not stop them. It seemed like the Bai brothers had even more things to hide in the backyard.
As for the second and third master Bai, Gu Xin could guess that they had exchanged their identities. There might be something in the house, but what could the fourth master Bai not show to others?
At this moment, shouldn’t he be agreeing to prove his innocence?
The three Bai brothers stopped talking and the Queen looked at Gu Xin, ” Princess Xinxin, apart from medicine, I hope you can instruct us not to mess up the other things for these unfilial descendants unless it’s absolutely necessary.
I know. Gu Xin nodded her head, ” thank you for your cooperation, Princess Consort!
The princess Consort turned her head and said nothing more.
Gu Xin asked Constable Gao to make the necessary arrangements. She also told the Bai family that they were not to touch anything other than medicine. Therefore, each branch could send someone to follow them to prevent them from touching anything valuable.
Gu Xin instructed as she observed the Bai family. She did not see any signs of guilt on anyone’s face.
Could it be that she had been wrong from the beginning and these two cases had nothing to do with the Bai family?
Or rather, Bai Shijie’s death had nothing to do with the Bai family.
However, Bai Shijie was kind to others, so who could not stand him to the point of wanting him to die?
An hour later, the search was completed. There was nothing suspicious. Only the main branch had medicine, but that was because Zhang Shi’s body was not good.
There was nothing else.
However, looking at Constable Gao’s expression, he seemed to have found something unrelated to Bai Shijie’s death. Although he had a stoic face, Gu Xin could still see the fire of gossip in his eyes.
It was getting late. The princess Consort and second elder Bai suggested that Gu Xin rest first. They rushed all the way from the capital and started investigating the case the moment they arrived. They didn’t rest at all. They were afraid that they would tire out Princess Xin Xin, who was said to be very popular with the Emperor, Empress, and Grand Empress Dowager.
Gu Xin was also a little tired, so she followed his advice and asked Constable Gao to arrange for people to guard Bai Shijie’s courtyard. After that, they went to rest.
As for Zheng Wei, brother Rong, and a few servants who originally lived here, they all moved to Zhang’s courtyard.
There were only Zhang Shi, Zheng Wei, and Bai Shiying left in the main household. Gu Xin sighed as she saw the three women bringing a two-year-old child.
This brother Yu is still so young, I’m afraid he has no chance to compete for the position of the Prince with the second branch.
……
“I still think that the death of the king of Dong Lin is related to the Crown Prince!” Gu Xin said to Zheng Qiu and Bai Yi in her room.
Zheng Qiu and Bai Yi were standing to the left and right of her room. Bai Yi was someone who could be given the title of general, but he was used to freedom and felt that it was quite free to be the head of Gu Xin’s Secret guards, so he had always been by Gu Xin’s side.
Gu Xin didn’t treat him as an outsider, so she didn’t try to avoid him no matter what she did or said.
