Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan stopped talking and then Chen Miaosi came in. She walked quickly into the inner hall and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, have you confirmed that the wet nurse did something to the Prince? Why did you arrest her? "
Yun Shang turned to look at her straight and said, "There's something wrong with the babysitter's milk, which put the Prince in danger. Who else can be the murderer except the babysitter? Thus, she should be arrested."
Chen Miaosi shook her head in a hurry, with disapproval in her eyes, "There might be many possibilities that resulted in the problem of the milk. Or maybe someone had tampered with the wet nurse' food. Didn't someone tamper with the food prepared for your majesties before? I heard that your majesty also know some medical skills. Don't you know such a common thing? "
Yun Shang nodded lightly and looked at Chen Miaosi. After a moment of silence, she handed the list that recorded the diet of the wet nurse to her and told her, "Have a look at it, Miaosi. These are the dishes that the wet nurse has eaten and drunk these days. Do you think there is something that can make people get pathogenic dryness?"
Chen Miaosi took it and read it carefully. She frowned and asked, "All of them are here? Is there anything missing? Or maybe the babysitter has forgotten it? "
Yun Shang replied smilingly, "It's about life. How could she forget it?" Hearing this, Chen Miaosi remained silent for a long time and stared at the paper in her hand. Yun Shang picked up the teacup beside her and observed Chen Miaosi's expression from the corner of her eyes. She found her concern for the wet nurse as well as her surprised look did not seem to be faking.
Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "Do you still remember that we used to ask your master and Mr. Liu to drug the provisions for disaster relief when we were in the Crown Prince's mansion?"
Chen Miaosi's eyes flashed with confusion. She wondered why Yun Shang suddenly mentioned this while they had just talked about the matter of the Prince' wet nurse.
Luo Qingyan knew what Yun Shang wanted to say. He looked up at Yun Shang in surprise, and then took a sip of tea quietly without stopping her.
"Of course I remember," though confused, Chen Miaosi answered Yun Shang's question honestly.
Yun Shang nodded lightly and then asked, "Your master has been transporting the army provisions for a period of time. It has been almost two months, hasn't it? Has he written to you? "
Chen Miaosi nodded and answered in a low voice, "Yes. We've been writing to each other all the time. We just talk about some trivial matters."
Hearing what Chen Miaosi said, Yun Shang couldn't help but squint. She gently stroked the edge of the teacup and thought for a long time. Then she looked up at her with a bit of temptation, "Do you know that your master has revealed the fact that we put knockout drops in the food to the seventh Prince, Xia Houjing? Your master is now Xia Houjing's man."
Astonishment was written all over Chen Miaosi's face. She shook her head and said, "How could it be? It's impossible. Your majesties must have misunderstood our master. Our master will never betray your majesty."
Seeing Chen Miaosi's determined tone, Yun Shang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why can't your master betray the Emperor?"
"My master has been brought up by the patriarch since he was a child, and he is obedient to the patriarch. When the patriarch asked him to come down the mountain to assist your majesty, he told my master that your majesty is his savior, and that he hoped my master can do his best to help him repay your kindness. So, I can say that my master helps your majesty also means that he is repaying the patriarch for his years of nurturing. Chen Miaosi looked at Yun Shang with determination.
Yun Shang knocked on the teacup and made a clear sound. She still didn't trust Zheng Qiming. He had been raised in Changbai Mountain since he was a child. She was afraid that when he came down the mountain, he couldn't expect that there were so many things attracting him.
"I also hope that Dr. Zheng is innocent. There is only one way to prove your master's innocence. Would you like to have a try?" Yun Shang took a sip of tea and said lightly.
After a short silence, Chen Miaosi asked in a low voice, "In what method?"
Yun Shang smiled, "Since you said that you have been communicating with your master all the time, and the letters are about some trivial things, why don't you show us your master's letters?"
"Do you believe that she is innocent?" asked Yun Shang looking at Luo Qingyan thoughtfully.
Luo Qingyan smiled and reached out to touch Yun Shang's hair. There was a touch of affection in his eyes. "When you asked Chen Miaosi to test the herb, don't you mean that you have already made a judgment in your heart?"
Yun Shang nodded, but she couldn't help frowning and sighed, "Maybe since I came to the State of Xia, I found that my eyes on people are not accurate, so I have some doubts about my own judgment in my heart."
Luo Qingyan couldn't help laughing. He pinched Yun Shang's nose and said with a smile, "It's just a betrayal of Qian Liu. Why do you doubt your own judgement? I didn't expect you to be so unconfident."
"No..." Yun Shang shook her head and sighed, "Not only Qian Liu, but also Hua Yutong and Zheng Qiming. In fact, I admired Zheng Qiming before. He was neither arrogant nor rash, and he was an excellent doctor. But I still mistook him."
Hearing Yun Shang's words, the smile on Luo Qingyan's face faded, and finally there was a cold look in his eyes. "It's not you who misjudged Zheng Qiming, but me."
It was not until then that Yun Shang remembered that Zheng Qiming was brought back by Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan must have trusted him very much. Yun Shang thought for a while and frowned, "But something is wrong. If Zheng Qiming was sent by Xia Houjing, he would have given me too many chances to die. That was the best time when I was rescued from the ice cellar and almost had a difficult labor. But Zheng Qiming didn't do anything to me or my baby."
Luo Qingyan narrowed his eyes but said nothing. The coldness in his eyes grew.
"There is another possibility. Zheng Qiming was still loyal to me before, but this time he was bribed by Xia Houjing after he arrived at Liucang City. Previously, the existence of Zheng Qiming was just a secret. Zheng Qiming had only opened a drugstore in the Sancun Alley, so it was difficult to connect with me. Although he lived in the Crown Prince's mansion, he never showed up in front of outsiders. This is the first time he escorted the army provisions," Luo Qingyan said indifferently and there was no emotion in his voice.
