At that time, Murong Ling had just entered the Duke Palace not long ago, and she hadn't even established her footing before she went to the warehouse to look for medicinal ingredients. She was humiliated by the woman who was guarding the warehouse and he even complained to Zhang Mingde. Zhao San was one of the errand boys by Zhang Mingde's side.

"Esteemed wangfei, this lowly one was wronged and helped him out. I didn't expect that he would be bitten back then. From my point of view, he is a thief who has the most opportunity to poison him."

Murong Ling immediately laughed, "Oh, how do you know that the banquet's wine has been poisoned?

Zhao San was dumbfounded. His forehead immediately broke out in sweat as he stammered, "This, this …" This little one is only guessing. After all, there must be something wrong if the wine we brought up was suddenly taken away. "

"You're smart."

Hearing the praise, Zhao San's face lit up, thinking that he had just passed the test. However, Murong Ling's next sentence made his face turn deathly pale, "Where did the poison in your chest come from?"

"No, I don't have any poison."

Zhao San subconsciously clutched his chest, but realized that this move was undoubtedly useless. He quickly let go. "This lowly one doesn't understand what wangfei means."

Without needing Murong Ling to instruct him, Leng Qiu went over to Zhao San and found a bag of medicinal powder in her bosom. Opening it to take a look, she immediately identified the medicine, "Master, this is Lei Gongteng Powder, the consumer will develop symptoms of poison, if there is no antidote, he will die within a day, and the effects of the wine will intensify after consuming it."

Murong Ling was a poison expert, so she naturally knew about the effects of the poison.'s explanation was meant for others to hear. As expected, after hearing her explanation, the servants of the Flower Hall burst into an uproar. During the banquet, if all of them were to be annihilated by the poison, no matter how much Prince Qin was doted upon by the Your Majesty, they would not be able to escape from the wrath of the masses.

They were all frightened as they tried to suppress Zhao San, "Why did you do this? Why are you trying to harm everyone?

"Princess, it's none of my business. There are too many mosquitoes in the spring, and I bought this package of medicinal powder to kill the bugs, so I definitely don't have any intention of harming you. Please clear my name, Princess Consort."

"This jug of wine still had some rattan powder left at the edge. If it wasn't for you, the poison would have gone up by itself, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?"

The amount of Lei Gongteng Powder in the wine jar wasn't much. The poisoner didn't want to poison everyone at the banquet to death, but it was enough to create a disturbance.

Murong Ling already knew the truth of the matter, but she had to let Princess Chengping see it, so she continued to ask, "Tell this concubine about your accomplices and the masterminds, and this concubine will spare your life."

There was no room for further explanation.

Zhao San's hands and feet went weak and he fell to the ground. He couldn't understand how Princess Qin found out that no one had seen the poison when he poisoned it and that the poison was hidden in his chest. Could it really be as the rumors said, that the princess was a deity who had descended to the mortal realm, who knew everything and was capable of everything?

He could not help but look towards Prince Zhao, and noticed his cold smile, and suddenly felt chills in his heart, as though he had fallen to the bottom of the valley. Even if Princess Qin spared him, if he confessed, Master would not spare him.

"Alright, I'll say …"

The heavy male voice finally sounded out slowly, as if he had made some sort of decision. Immediately after, Murong Ling saw Zhao San reveal a strange smile, then spit out a mouthful of black blood and limply fell onto the ground.

Leng Qiu immediately went over to check, and said in a low voice: "Esteemed wangfei, she's dead. He should be a Death Soldier, and there is poison in his teeth. Now that his identity has been found out, he took the initiative to use poison to kill himself. "

Murong Ling immediately frowned, she thought that Zhao San would at most be a spy that was being developed, she did not expect him to be a Death Soldier. She looked towards Li Fuchen and saw the corner of his lips curled up into an imperceptible smile. When she noticed her gaze, she was startled for a moment, then asked as if nothing had happened, "Royal Sister-In-Law, what's wrong?"

Princess Chengping at the side could not hold back anymore, she slapped the table and asked: "Murong Ling, you were the one who said to look for the traitor, now that the traitor is dead, what do we do next."

"What's the rush? It's not like there's only one spy."

Murong Ling replied coldly, her expression did not contain the slightest trace of anxiety or anger, she looked at the people in the hall and said, "After the banquet begins, all those who have left the garden will come out." Her voice paused for a moment, and said meaningfully, "You all know this Consort's methods. If anyone is dishonest, then let the accomplices handle it."

When they thought of her methods, everyone trembled. The few people who were originally slightly afraid, upon seeing that manager Zhang had walked out first, immediately stepped forward without any hesitation. Including Zhang Mingde, there were a total of five people.

Murong Ling glanced at them, and then nodded her head in satisfaction, "Tell me everything one by one, what are you doing outside?"

The first to answer was Zhang Mingde. "To return to my consort, I went to the latrine and was the first to find the body of Prince Consort."

"Prince Consort Ma didn't know the way to the Prince's Mansion. It was me who brought him to the latrine, but Prince Consort Ma seemed to have an uncomfortable stomach and stayed in the latrine for a long time without coming out. Afterwards, I didn't know who knocked him out, until Chief Eunuch Zhang woke him up, then found out that Prince Consort had been killed."

Murong Ling nodded, her expression did not reveal any surprise or surprise, and asked the servant, "When the few of them went to the latrine, did you see them?"

The male servant pointed to two other male servants with similar delicate features, and said: "They have seen it before, after leaving the latrine, they left. Only Li Ming and Manager Zhang, I did not see them."

"Very good."

Murong Ling looked at Li Ming who had an ordinary expression on his face, "Li Ming, when did you go up to the latrine, did you see him?"

She did not know the male servant's name and pointed at it with her finger. Li Ming's eyes flashed and hurriedly shook his head, "To return to my consort, this lowly one would have gone to the latrine earlier. I did not see anyone guarding outside."

There were two reasons why the male servants guarding outside did not see him. The first was that he had arrived at the latrine earlier than Prince Consort, and the second was that after he fainted, the second was obviously the most suspicious.

He chose the first option. Then, Zhang Mingde, who was the first one to find Prince Consort Ma's corpse and wake up the male servants, would become the biggest suspect.
