Jiang Yu knelt down once again and said: "This matter is of great importance. I hope Your Highness will let us know in detail."

Xiao Rui Zhao gave Chang De Hai a look, and Chang De Hai led the people serving in the hall away.

Jiang Yu stood up and followed Rui Zhao into the Tai Yi Hall, closing the door behind him.

Although there was no one left or right, Jiang Yu still knelt down before Xiao Rui Zhao with a 'putong' sound.

"Royal Concubine, you …" Xiao Rui Zhao frowned in displeasure. Since he said there was something on his mind, what was the meaning of kneeling down so easily?

"Your Highness!" How could Jiang Yu, who was usually good at reading people's expressions, not notice Xiao Rui Zhao's frown? She knelt down and revealed everything that Wang Quan had discovered to him.

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Xiao Rui Zhao's face changed, killing intent in his voice: "Where is he?"

"The person is in Wang Quan, there!" Without receiving any orders from the crown prince, Jiang Yu continued to kneel on the ground, and spoke with his head raised.

"Bring me there!" Xiao Rui said with a dark expression.

Jiang Yu quickly declared that Wang Quan should lead the way. Xiao Rui Zhao only brought Chang Dehai with him to the room where the fake grandma's corpse was being held.

After seeing it for himself, Xiao Rui Zhao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Where is this person usually on duty?" Xiao Rui Zhao asked with a cold expression.

Wang Quan hurriedly stepped forward to answer, "Liufang Dock, since there aren't many people over there, we usually only have two or three women responsible for cleaning up the place."

"Bring the people from Liufang Dock over here!" Xiao Rui said.

Wang Quan quickly called for the two women who had asked them to wait at the side, Old Lady Qian and Old Lady Wu.

When they saw Xiao Rui Zhao and Jiang Yu, both of their legs went weak and they kneeled on the ground.

Chang Dehai, who was beside Xiao Ruizhao, pointed to the fake grandma who was wrapped in a corpse cloth and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Ever since they realized that Old Lady Xia was a man, the two of them had been trembling with fear. When they heard someone ask them, the two hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes. It's the Old Lady Xia who is in charge of night duty at Liufang Dock."

"Did the two of you know she was a man?" Chang De Hai looked at the two of them and asked.

Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Wu shook their heads like rattle drums. "We really didn't know anything before! "The two of us are in charge of cleaning, she is in charge of night duty …"

Right now, the two of them couldn't wait to get rid of their relationship with that old woman Xia and begin to speak untruthfully.

The expressions of the two were seen by Chang De Hai. He asked, "When did old woman Xia arrive at Liufang Dock?"

"About half a year ago." "I remember that the old Mrs. Zhang who was in charge of night duty was sent out due to malaria. The two of us were arranged to take turns on night duty, and not long after, this old lady Xia arrived."

"Who arranged this old woman Xia?" How come I don't even know this? " Wang Quan, who had been silent all this time, felt his hair stand up when he heard this.

Mrs. Wu opened her mouth to speak, but Mrs. Qian shot her a look, causing her to open her mouth but not daring to say anything.

"What is it? Is there anything else you can't say? " Jiang Yu looked coldly at Mrs. Wu and questioned.

Lady Wu's body trembled as she laid on the ground and said, "It's also …" It's not like I can't tell you... That... "That old granny Xia was brought here by Lady Cui's esteemed mistress, Wang mama …"

"At that time, we only said that it was Old Lady Xia who had committed an offense at Lady Cui's place, and that she was demoted to our Liufang Dock to be on duty …" "At that time, the two of us were not only responsible for cleaning up the night, but we were also on duty at that time. It was very hard for us to endure. To suddenly send someone over, that was exactly what we wanted! "So no one cared whether she was brought here by Eunuch Wang or not!"

Although Cui Yingying was comforted by Senior Servant Wang, her heart was unable to calm down. She had a faint feeling that something would happen.

Her unease was exacerbated by the fact that the people she had sent out to investigate had not returned for two hours.

"Niangniang, Niangniang." Suddenly, Xia He came in with a panicked expression and gasped for breath, "His Highness the Crown Prince and Jiang Liangdi came rushing over here."

Cui Yingying's expression froze, and she collapsed onto the Luo Han bed.

Is luck not a disaster, or is it a disaster that can't be avoided?

She touched her belly, which was bulging like a ball, and felt the child kick her in the stomach.

He hoped that the Crown Prince would let him off the hook for the sake of this child.

Cui Yingying resigned herself to her fate by closing her eyes. Then, she stood up with an indifferent expression, "Take it!"

With a dark expression, Xiao Rui Zhao passed through the doors of the Dancing Orchid Hall and went around the hall. He didn't even look at Cui Yingying, who was kneeling at the front of the hall to receive him.

Cui Yingying knelt there, a glint in her eyes.

Not to mention that she was still pregnant, even the crown prince had never treated her so coldly before.

When Jiang Yu passed by her side, she could faintly hear Jiang Yu let out a sneer filled with schadenfreude.

Cui Yingying's eyes turned slightly cold. She gritted her teeth and stood up by herself, following behind Jiang Yu into the main hall.

"Why is my sister free to follow His Highness to my Dancing Orchid Hall today?" Cui Yingying pretended to not know anything as she smiled and greeted Jiang Yu.

On the other hand, Xiao Rui Zhao snorted coldly as he looked at Cui Yingying: "Cui Liandi, let me ask you, do you know anything about Liufang Dock's Old Lady Xia?"

"Old woman Xia?" Cui Yingying stared innocently at him with her large eyes, "Is that the one who drowned today?"

Jiang Feng let out a sneer in his heart, and thought to himself, "I want to see how you're going to act."

As for Xiao Rui Zhao, his gaze was like a knife as it shot towards Cui Yingying, causing her entire body to shudder.

"What happened to her?" Since she was pretending, she would do so no matter what. Cui Yingying clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves and looked at Xiao Rui Zhao innocently, as if she really didn't know anything.

"She's a man!" Xiao Rui Zhao looked coldly at Cui Yingying and said those words word by word.

"Huh?" Although she felt like she was on the verge of collapsing, Cui Yingying still forced herself not to collapse, "How can this be?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" Xiao Rui Zhe narrowed his eyes at Cui Yingying, "The women at Liufang Dock can all testify. Half a year ago, it was Senior Servant Wang who sent that Old Woman Xia to Liufang Dock!" Don't tell me you don't know about this! "

"If the Crown Prince comes down to ask you, you'd better bite it!" At this moment, Wang mama's words resounded in Cui Yingying's mind, "If there's anything you need, I'll definitely shoulder it for you!"

When Cui Yingying thought of this, she frowned and shook her head, saying with a heart full of grievance, "Your Highness, everyone in the crown prince's residence knows that Chenqie has never cared about this inner chamber since she was pregnant. How could I possibly know about this Liu Fang Dock's Old Lady Xia?"
