This time, Nangong Jue also brought Cui Zhu to the side. Cui Zhu first admitted his mistake to Nangong Jue, and Nangong Jue also did not say anything, as Cui Zhu had followed him since young, even though it was only a girl with a lowly identity, but that girl was also a human and would also have emotions and desires. Thus, he knew clearly in his heart what Cui Zhu wanted.

If he hadn't met Jin Xiao Ai, perhaps everything would have gone according to Cui Zhu's plan. However, ever since he met Jin Xiaolei, he found out that there was no one else in his eyes.

Everyone thought that even if he took a fancy to Jin Xiao Ai, he would only want her to be a concubine. However, he clearly knew that what he wanted was not just that.

He wanted more.

The feeling of wanting to hide a person in his heart, of wanting to take a person for himself was too strange and too strong, so strong that he had almost no way to control it.

"Cui Zhu, did you give the rose paste to Lady Jin or not?" Prince, this servant doesn't dare. Although this servant was greedy, this rose paste was not a snack. Moreover, this servant knew that this was only a semi-finished product, so she did not give it to Miss Jin. It's just that this servant had indeed thought of embarrassing Lady Jin, so … Today, I have let those noble young ladies surround Lady Jin. "

Nangong Jue did not know that Jin Xiaoyi was being surrounded and ridiculed by a group of noble young ladies. If Cui Zhu hadn't said it, he might have kept it in the dark. He looked angrily at Cui Zhu and viciously slapped her.

This slap was not because of the bamboo's framing of Jin Xiaoyi, but due to the bamboo's ignorance.

Those from the Residence of Prince An absolutely wouldn't allow him to do such a thing.

It seemed that he couldn't keep Emerald Bamboo any longer.

"Cui Zhu, pack your bags and leave King An's Estate in the next two days. King An's Estate cannot keep you here any longer."

When Cui Zhu heard this, she panicked and quickly kneeled on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

"Your Highness, please don't. Cui Zhu knows that it was wrong. Cui Zhu is willing to apologize to Miss Jin and let Miss Jin receive her punishment. She is begging Prince, please don't chase Cui Zhu away."

Nangong Jue was not a heartless person. Cui Zhu had been by his side for a long time. If he were to leave just like that, he would feel somewhat sad.

If Cui Zhu wasn't so stupid, he wouldn't have kicked her out.

It was now confirmed that Cui Zhu was not the person who had given the Rose Ointment to Jin Xiao Ai. There were only five left.

The remaining five people did not seem to have anything to say to Nangong Jue. Nangong Jue gradually lost his patience.

He didn't want to embarrass them, but since none of them were willing to stand up for him, he was the only one left.

"Just now, This King had received a piece of news. It would be best for you to consider whether or not to take the initiative to come forward."

Nangong Jue looked at the remaining six people, but the five of them were still unaffected.

Nangong Jue was finally unable to hold himself back.

"Very well, since all of you are unwilling to speak, then only This King will be able to personally uncover the traitor." I hope you do not regret this! "

Nangong Jue had already given the other six a lot of chances, but none of them were willing to speak out first. Therefore, his patience had finally burst.

"Hmph, This King knows that one of you is a fake. Are you really not going to stand up on your own? "

There was still a sliver of hope left in Nangong Jue's heart, but the five of them did not make a move.

Suddenly, Nangong Jue dashed in front of Cui Yan, coldly looking at her. He lifted his hand to tear off Cui Yan's face. Fu Xiang had previously said that Cui Yan had torn off a human skin mask in her room. Although there was no direct evidence to prove that Cui Yan was wearing a human skin mask, she wasn't the original Cui Yan at all. However, this action was indeed very suspicious.

Nangong Jue believed that this method would definitely be able to find the culprit. Unfortunately, he failed.

When he reached to take off Cui Yan's face, he did not see the human skin mask he expected.

"What's going on?"

There were deep scratches on Cui Yan's face. She looked at Nangong Jue with tears in her eyes, but did not say a word.

At this moment, Nangong Jue knew that he was wrong.

Out of the seven people he had just called, only one was a mute. The force of his attack had left a bloody scar on Cui Yan's face. Normal people would not be able to bear it. So, this Cui Yan was his servant, Cui Yan.

This time, the problem had returned to a confused state.

The current Cui Yan was the real Cui Yan. Then, where was the fake Cui Yan that Fu Xiang mentioned?

Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ran towards Fu Xiang's room.

Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ran towards Fu Xiang's room.

Within Fu Xiang's room, Fu Xiang was packing up his things. Nangong Jue kicked open the door and grabbed onto Fu Xiang. The strength behind the kick was so strong that it made Fu Xiang grimace in pain.

"Prince …"

"It's you! It's you who framed Miss Jin, right?! Show your true face? "Yan!"

With his arm grabbed by Nangong Jue, Fu Xiang lowered his head. The intense pain made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Your highness, I don't understand. What is your true appearance?"

Seeing that Fu Xiang did not admit to it, Nan Gong Jue became angrier and the strength in his grip increased. If he had shouted a little louder, Nangong Jue would have broken Fu Xiang's arm.

"Your Highness, I really don't know what you're talking about. What is your true face?"

Even at this point, Fu Xiang still did not admit it. He once again used the same technique he used to examine Cui Yan. In the end, Fu Xiang also cried out in surprise. Fu Xiang wasn't the person who had snuck into Prince An's mansion wearing a human skin mask.

Nangong Jue had always been calm, but this matter made it impossible for him to calm down.

He had never thought that Fu Xiang would not be the person wearing the human skin mask. The news he had just received was immediately cut off.

Who was it? Who was the traitor?

Nangong Jue returned to the yard, the few remaining servants were still there.

This time, he didn't act rashly, nor did he make any wild guesses.

It looked like everything was just going to happen one step at a time.

"Alright, tell me, what did you do today?"

The remaining people told them what they had done that day. They had done what they usually did, and it didn't sound like they had any flaws.

Nangong Jue was at a loss.

Right now, he was feeling very complicated. On one hand, he didn't want it to be done by the people in his residence, and on the other hand, he hoped it was done by them. There was only one reason. If it was really done by the people from the clan, then it would not have involved such a large matter. However, if it wasn't done by those from the Residence of Ye, then that meant that his Residence of Prince An was full of loopholes, allowing people to freely enter and leave. This way, it wouldn't be so easy to find the real culprit behind it.

Since he couldn't solve such a small problem, Jin Xiao wouldn't like him in the future either.

On the other side, Jin Xiaoyue, who was riding on the carriage, had already returned to the Master Wind Listening Moon Pavilion.

Her complexion still hadn't recovered, causing her to be extremely worried.

"Mom, are you really alright?"

"I'm fine."

She seemed a bit listless as she answered the little girl's questions. The little girl was even more worried.

"Mom, would you forgive me if I did something wrong?"

The little girl frowned as she looked pitifully at Jin Xiao Ai with her clear eyes.

Hearing the little girl say such a few words, Jin Xiaoyi felt that there was something wrong with the little girl. This brat …

"Little girl, tell me what you did wrong. If you admit your wrongs honestly, mother will not punish you."

The little girl lowered her head and looked at Jin Xiaosi with a wronged expression. After hesitating for a while, she finally opened her mouth.

"Mother, in fact, I'm not sure if the person who gave us the Rose Ointment was someone from the Prince's Mansion, because when she returned, she really didn't go through the main entrance of the Prince's Mansion. However, seeing that her clothes were similar to those of the young girl from the Residence of Prince An, …

Jin Xiao Ai turned her gaze towards Feng Liancheng. If the little girl hadn't noticed, could it be that Feng Liancheng hadn't noticed as well? Why didn't he say it earlier?

"Lian Cheng, do you have something to tell me?"

As expected, when Feng Liancheng heard this, he remembered something.

Actually, this matter really couldn't be blamed on a little kid. At that time, Feng Liancheng was right beside him and should have seen everything clearly. However, he didn't inform Jin Xiao Ai in time.

There was only one reason. When Jin Xiaoxue went to look for the fake emperor, Feng Liancheng had been looking in his direction. As a result, he hadn't taken anything else seriously.

"It's my fault, Miss. I didn't take a good look at her back then, but her clothes were similar to those of the Residence of An. That's why I thought she was a member of the Residence of An." Furthermore, we also heard what Prince An said just now, so I didn't say anything. "

This time, Jin Xiaoyi, for the first time, did not scold Little Sweetie and Feng Liancheng. That was because she clearly remembered what Nangong Jue had said.

Only a few people knew about him making the rose paste. Even if this person didn't come in through the main entrance, they couldn't say that the person before them wasn't a member of the Residence of Prince An. After all, there were only a few people who could get close to Prince An's room.

I wonder how Prince An's investigation is going.

It seemed that they were just looking for a few people to record their statements and deduce the situation. The outcome seemed to have gone far beyond everyone's expectations.

It seemed that this matter really wasn't that simple!

Nangong Jue had asked every single one of them and tested them, but these people were not the same person who stole the Rose Ointment. Since they were his personal servants, there was no reason why they didn't know that the rose paste was poisonous.

Based on his understanding of them, they shouldn't be giving this poisonous substance to others to eat.

But if it wasn't them, who could it be?

Could it be that there really was a pair of invisible eyes monitoring him from behind?

If that was the case, then this person's martial arts must be very high. Otherwise, it was impossible that he wouldn't have noticed it all this time.

Nangong Jue frowned and fell into deep thought.

Who was it? Who was it?

Nangong Jue suddenly recalled that there was one other person who did not ask. That person appeared and disappeared like a shadow, while the things that happened in the Prince's Mansion no one could escape his eyes. That person was his shadow guard, Longling.

Nangong Jue walked to the rear courtyard of the Residence of Prince An. With a bright whistle, a man dressed in green appeared.

"Your subordinate, Longling, pays his respects to the Prince."

"Longling, you are the one with the clearest view of the entire Residence of Prince An. Today, someone came to my room and took a rose paste. Did you see who it was?"

"Only Eunuch An has entered your room today, but when I came out, I didn't see him holding anything in his hand."

What, Yasuko?

Nangong Jue never expected it to be him.

However, Jin Xiaosi clearly said that the person who gave the gift away was a woman. How could it be Little An?

However, if only Yasuko had ever been in his room, then it was likely that Yasuko had a motive.
