Chapter 236: She Investigates a Case

Chen Shiya's face suddenly changed. She had no idea that this woman could actually drag this matter onto other people!

However, what she said just now did contain this meaning.

She couldn't even say that she felt her ability to investigate cases was better than that of her cousin, Prince Liang, and Prince Chu, so she felt that she could find out the whereabouts of the Sixth Prince, but no one else could.

She bit her lip secretly and said with gritted teeth: "If my cousin and the other two princes are serious, they can certainly find it..."

"That's because my cousin thinks too highly of me."

Zhou Yunke glanced at Su Liuyue beside him, a hint of coldness flashed across his phoenix eyes, and he said with a slight smile, "If I were to come and look for her, I would have to use the dumbest method, sending more people to search the palace inch by inch. Of course, I can't figure out where she is just by thinking."

Chen Shiya's heart sank and she clenched her teeth.

But she had expected that her cousin would definitely side with this woman, and she could still forcefully say, "My cousin is too modest. There's no need for him to belittle himself like this for his wife..."

"This is not modesty, cousin, you have never investigated the case, right?"

But suddenly, the voice of King Liang was also heard. He clicked his tongue twice and said, "Investigating a case is not that simple. I don't know how Second Sister-in-law investigates the case, but if Second Sister-in-law can really figure out so many things by just taking a few glances at the crime scene, then it is truly unprecedented!

Especially when it comes to children who can't even speak complete sentences, it's even more difficult to investigate the case! We had a case before in the Dali Temple where the only witness was a child. We tried to get the child to talk for a long time but didn't get anything out of him. It was really overwhelming.

Anyway, I don’t have the ability to use my brain to find Xiaoliu, so cousin, please don’t put me on the spot!”

He never wanted to work in the Dali Temple. Anyway, he was neither the eldest son nor the legitimate heir, so he was destined to be a rich and idle man for the rest of his life. No matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to make a name for himself. Even more terrible would be if he did, as he would be feared and feared everywhere. It was simply asking for trouble.

If it weren't for his mother's repeated requests and his father's displeasure with his idleness, he would not have gone to the Dali Temple!

Imperial Concubine Murong, who was sitting opposite him, was so angry when she saw his careless appearance that she scolded him in a low voice, "Cheng'er, don't talk nonsense at this critical moment!"

Chen Shiya's expression became even uglier.

She didn't expect that even King Liang would be so disrespectful to her and directly sabotage her!
He even has the nerve to call her cousin!

However, this was not the end. The King of Chu smiled helplessly and said, "Indeed, I know what to do with ordinary cases, but this matter of finding the child really stumped me."

Chen Shiya: “…”

Although no one else was looking at her, she felt inexplicably aggrieved and her face was hot, as if she had been slapped hundreds of times in the face.

Su Liuyue glanced at her calmly, and seeing that she no longer had the courage to speak, she sneered secretly and said, "Although it is not easy to find a child in such a huge palace, it is not impossible for me to try."

Everyone was startled and looked at her quickly.

Those who can get around in the palace are all shrewd people. They can naturally see that Princess Zhenning was deliberately making trouble for Su Liuyue.

But this method of looking for trouble is really not very clever.

They thought that Su Liuyue would take advantage of the time when these princes expressed their opinions to get out of this matter, but they didn't expect that not only would she not get out of it, but she would also get involved in this matter!

Does she really have that ability, or is she just brainless and only wants to be in the limelight? Facing the surprised and questioning gazes of the crowd, Su Liuyue said frankly: "But I'm just trying it out, there's no guarantee of success. Mother, to be safe, I think we should work on both fronts and also start dispatching people to look for the Sixth Prince."

Empress Chen, who had been silent since a while ago, glanced at Su Liuyue, pursed her lips slightly, and shouted coldly: "Someone come!"

After seeing Queen Chen ordering people to dispatch personnel, Su Liuyue asked, "Are the people who have been taking care of the Sixth Prince here during this period?"

Aunt Huiming immediately stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Crown Princess, they have all gone out to look for the Sixth Prince. I will ask someone to bring them back right away.

If the Crown Princess has any questions, you can ask Xiaoyue first. She is from our Changchun Palace and has been helping to take care of the Sixth Prince during this period."

Xiaoyue was the palace maid who had just come in and told Queen Chen that she couldn't find the Sixth Prince.

Su Liuyue nodded, turned to Xiaoyue who was still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and said, "How long have you been taking care of the Sixth Prince?"

Xiaoyue glanced at Su Liuyue with some uneasiness and said, "Madam Crown Princess, I have been taking care of the Sixth Prince since he came to Changchun Palace. It has been almost three months now."

Su Liuyue paused, "The Sixth Prince's mother has been ill for so long?"

"Yes, Hua Meiren's health was not good to begin with. She had always been weak and sickly. Some time ago, she traveled a long way to Xinjing.

Since she came to Xinjing, she has been ill, and the illness has not improved. She is getting more and more haggard, and the people in the Imperial Hospital are really helpless..."

"There is nothing we can do..."

Su Liuyue's voice suddenly became faint, "Or did the people in the Imperial Hospital not try their best?"

Queen Chen's face changed, and she couldn't help but said, "How outrageous!"

She is the mistress of the harem. What she said is that she didn't ask the people in the Imperial Hospital to treat Hua Meiren with all their strength? !
Su Liuyue has now switched to work mode. To her, Empress Chen's cold words are just an overreaction of the people involved in the case. She glanced at Empress Chen calmly and said, "Mother, please be patient. People in this world are most likely to put down the low and praise the high. It is easy to infer that they saw that Hua Mei's position was low and did not try their best to treat her."

When Queen Chen saw the look in the woman's eyes, she was stunned for a moment.

Although this woman is sharp-tongued on weekdays, she can be considered to have a gentle temperament.

However, now, her whole body exudes a calm and sharpness. Looking at her, it is as if you are looking at a little person who is unreasonable and not worth your attention at all, which really makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Yue was still hesitant at first, but when she saw that the Empress did not continue to speak, as if she had tacitly agreed with the Crown Princess' question, she secretly swallowed her saliva and said, "That must be because... she was not as attentive as when she treated other empresses of higher status. At least, those precious medicinal herbs would not be used on Hua Meiren, and Hua Meiren herself does not have anything to replenish her body..."

After all, Hua Meiren had long since fallen out of favor.

She was originally just a lowly maid, and her appearance could only be described as pretty. It was because the emperor visited her when he was drunk one time that the Sixth Prince was born. After the emperor sobered up, he got tired of her.

Otherwise, she would not have only been given the title of a beauty after giving birth to the sixth prince.

Su Liuyue nodded and asked, "Is there anything unusual after the Sixth Prince came to Changchun Palace?"

Xiaoyue looked at the Queen cautiously again before saying, "Indeed there is..." (End of this chapter)
