Chapter 445 The Test (Part One)

Liu Wenan gestured to the entrance of the palace. Then an old maid was escorted in by the guards. The princess Tai An's face darkened at the sight of the old woman. "What happened, brother? Why did Master. Liu arrest my madam? What did she do? Madam is... "

Xia Huanyu turned around and took a look at Princess Tai An. Startled, Princess Tai An tried to swallow her words that she hadn't finished.

"You want to know what I arrest her for?" Turning the jade ring on his thumb, Xia Huanyu said in a somewhat cold voice, "Madam Qi, tell us about what you did today, will you?"

Upon hearing this, madam Qi didn't panic at all. She got rid of the guards behind her, and touched her hair to make it perfect again. She coiled her hair into a bun, and then bowed to Xia Huanyu and opened her mouth. "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything today. I just found a ragged doll under her Highness' bed this morning when I cleaned Her Highness's bed. I saw a broken doll. I thought it looked old, so I cut it into pieces, took it out and threw it away. "

Xia Huanyu then said in a even colder voice. "Did madam Qi find the needles on the doll when you cut it?"

"Yes, I found needles on it. I think it's a good idea to have the needle pricked in a doll's body when her highness are embroidery. So she won't get hurt by the needles." Said madam Qi as calmly as she could.

The seventh Prince immediately made a bow to him and said, "Your Majesty, I think my brother are right. This is related to the safety of your majesty, so we can't let down our guard. Master Kong is the most famous person in the state of Xia now. Your majesty, why don't you call him over and have a look?"

"Then, just do as you say. Invite Master Kong over to have a look." Xia Huanyu said flatly. After a while, he added again, "but I believe that someone did it deliberately. We can also ask the Ministry of Justice to investigate it carefully at the same time."

It will take Master Kong about half a day to get to the Jin city, so Xia Huanyu asked the people to go back to their own palaces and issued a decree, asking the imperial members to look for other witch dolls in their own palaces.

Luo Qingyan went to the meeting hall with the seventh Prince, and the empress kept Yun Shang in the Wei Yang Palace.
