The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

Chapter 115 Interrogation

"Princess, why do you have to play dumb? It's clear that Haoyun has been poisoned by the intoxicating poison you gave him," Xie said sternly. She felt more confident when the prince came.

Zhang Yu also nodded, "Princess, Madam Xie is right. After examination by the imperial physician, Master Bai was indeed poisoned by the intoxicating heart poison."

Bai Chuxiao's face remained calm, and she asked again, "Aunt Xie, how did Lan Xin give you the pills that day?"

Xie's eyes were somewhat confused, but she still spoke in a loud voice, "My princess, why are you talking about other things? It was the princess who personally asked Miss Lan Xin to bring me a bottle of medicine that day."

Bai Chuxiao nodded, "Lan Xin gave you a medicine bottle with only one pill in it, right?"

"Yes, that's right," Xie frowned. I don't know why she asked these useless questions.

Bai Chuxiao asked calmly, "Where is the medicine bottle?"

Xie's eyes were filled with doubt. Could it be that the medicine bottle was strange? It looked like an ordinary medicine bottle to her.

Chu Tianyou couldn't help but speak out, "Princess, the medicine bottle has nothing to do with this case. Lord Zhang should ask some useful questions during the trial..."

Chu Tianze glanced at him and said calmly, "Didn't my royal brother say not to talk too much? The princess has her reasons for asking, we just need to watch quietly..."

Chu Tianyou's face froze, he snorted coldly, and didn't know how to speak again.

Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "At the time of the crime, Master Bai did not have any medicine bottles on him. Where is the medicine bottle that Madam Xie and Princess mentioned?"

Mrs. Xie was suspicious and spoke slowly, "Sir, I took the medicine out of the bottle and put it in Haoyun's food box. As for the medicine bottle, I didn't care about it. I think it must have been discarded by the servants."

Bai Chuxiao said indifferently, "This princess also thinks that Aunt Xie may not care, so before leaving the house, I sent Qingshuang to search Aunt Xie's yard. Of course, there are two young officials from Jingzhao Prefecture accompanying her. Sir Zhang may as well wait for a while."

Zhang Yu nodded. Xie was shocked. She had not dealt with the medicine bottle. When Bai Chuxiao asked her about the medicine bottle, she realized something was wrong and said that the bottle was lost. This little bitch actually sent people to search in advance. Could there be something wrong with the medicine bottle?

Soon, Qingshuang arrived with two officials. After bowing to everyone,

Bai Chuxiao then asked, "Qingshuang, have you found the medicine bottle?"

Qingshuang nodded, and one of the officials brought a delicate jade bottle to

Mr. Zhang asked solemnly, "Were you two watching the whole process?"

The two officers nodded and said, "Your Excellency, we found this in Madam Xie's yard with our own hands. It is not fake."

Zhang Yu nodded and slowly said, "Madam Xie, this medicine bottle was given to you by the princess that day."

Mrs. Xie's face was grim. Many people had seen Lan Xin give her her that day. If she refused now, she would be exposed soon. So she could only say, "Yes."

Zhang Yu looked at Bai Chuxiao again and asked in confusion, "Princess, is there something strange about this medicine bottle?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Master Zhang, please take a closer look. Is this jade bottle transparent green from the inside out?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu looked at it carefully and said, "Not bad!"

"Lan Xin, please explain to everyone what the intoxicating poison is."

Lan Xin stood up and bowed, "The intoxicating poison is made from star grass, five-color flowers, vines, and mandala pollen... It makes people fall asleep, and when they are conscious, they cannot wake up from their sleep, and thus slowly die in their sleep."

He paused and continued, "The problem lies with the Xingluo grass. Xingluo grass is a must-have herb for the Intoxicating Poison. However, this grass also has a characteristic, that is, when it comes into contact with jasper, it will fade. This medicine bottle did not fade abnormally, proving that when it was given to Madam Xie, it was not a pill containing the Intoxicating Poison at all. As for what Madam Xie did after taking it back, it is unknown."

Xie's heart tightened. She had never expected this. She didn't believe it was such a coincidence that the intoxicating poison conflicted with this medicine bottle. "This is just your one-sided statement..."

Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "Master Zhang, can you lend me this half pill and the medicine bottle?"

Zhang Yu nodded, and Lan Xin stepped forward and put half a pill into the medicine bottle. After a moment, she handed the medicine bottle to him.

Zhang Yu looked inside and saw that the inner wall had indeed faded. He then said sternly, "Madam Xie, you are committing a serious crime by framing the princess."

Chu Tianyou's eyes sank slightly, and he spoke slowly, "Master Zhang, this medicine was given by the princess after all, so it's reasonable for Madam Xie to have doubts. What you said is a bit harsh."

"Yes," Zhang Yu bowed and replied, with a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Your Highness is right, but I now have reason to suspect that Aunt Xie poisoned her own son. Aunt Xie just admitted that the medicine only passed through her hands."

This bitch actually set a trap for her in advance. Xie was panicked and said, "My Lord, I only have this one son. How could I kill him?"

Lan Xin sneered, "If the young master is not poisoned too deeply, it can be cured. Aunt Xie, you clearly hate the princess and have planned this to frame her."

Zhang Yu said sternly, "Madam Xie, when the princess gave you the medicine, it was clearly non-toxic, but now it contains intoxicating poison. You are the only one who touched it, so you must have poisoned it. If you can't explain why, I will have to put you in the dungeon."

Xie said quickly, "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. I just remembered that the medicine was put into Haoyun's food box by the maid in the mansion. There must be some misunderstanding."

Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Aunt Xie swore that it was only you who did it, but now you have changed your story. Can I think that you just deliberately framed me? Lord Zhang, please investigate."

Zhang Yu slammed the table heavily, "Madam Xie, how can you lie in public? Framing the princess and poisoning your own child are both serious crimes. If you don't tell the truth, I will punish you."

Xie panicked and looked towards Chu Tianyou, who was at the top, hoping that he would come out and talk.

What a fool! He didn't even know how to destroy the body and leave the bottle as evidence. Chu Tianyou couldn't help but curse inwardly. Then he could only cough twice and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhang..."

Zhang Yu bowed and said, "I wonder what your Highness the Crown Prince wants to tell you."

Chu Tianyou spoke with a righteous look, "Madam Xie is the wife of the Left Prime Minister after all. It's too cruel to torture her. Madam Xie has only one son, so how could she have the heart to poison Bai Haoyun? This must be the work of a villain in the Bai Mansion. In my opinion, this is also the family affair of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. It's better to let them go back and let the Bai Prime Minister solve it himself, so Lord Zhang doesn't have to worry about it..."

Chu Tianze, who had been silent for a long time, spoke calmly, "When I was interrogating the princess just now, my brother didn't say a word. How come it has become a family matter for Madam Xie? This happened in the Imperial Academy. For the reputation of the Imperial Academy, Lord Zhang should interrogate her carefully."

Zhang Yu was immediately in a dilemma. One person asked him to try the case, while the other didn't. Should he try the case or not? He would have to offend one of them anyway. Why did these hot potatoes always fall into his hands...
