"......"

There's such a poison?

Su Liluo stood there stunned. If no trace of poison could be found, wouldn't that mean there was something wrong with the medicinal herbs she sold?

Doesn't that confirm that she harmed people?

She thought about it calmly and finally decided to tell the truth about the poison; she couldn't let herself be wronged like this.

So she stood up again.

He said frankly, "This poison is a rare and extraordinary poison. It disappears the moment a person takes effect, along with their life, which is why no trace of it can be found."

However, once the poisoner is caught, the truth can be revealed through interrogation. Therefore, I intend to confront and interrogate the poisoner in court after bringing them back to justice.”

Lord Fang naturally wouldn't refuse Su Liluo's request, and was about to nod in agreement, telling Su Liluo to go back to the manor and wait.

After all, she is the noble Crown Princess, and since the case has not yet been settled, she doesn't need to stay here.

However, at this moment, as if incited by someone, the people outside launched a massive outcry demanding that Su Lilu be imprisoned first.

Lord Fang looked displeased, and even after banging the gavel several times, it had no effect.

Some people even threw rotten vegetable leaves and eggs into the room.

"Guards, arrest this troublemaker who threw things! Disrupting court proceedings is a serious crime!"

Lord Fang was so angry that his beard trembled. He was, after all, an official. It was one thing for these people to shout, but they even dared to start a fight.

However, when the guards went out to arrest the person, they found that the person who threw the object had quickly slipped away.

Their movements were so swift that they were unlike those of ordinary people.

"Lord Fang, no need. Someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes! I'll stay at the government office for a few days and confront and interrogate Yi Lan once she's been caught."

Su Lilu had already guessed that someone was behind it. Even if Lord Fang let her return to the manor today, she would be surrounded by the people outside the manor as soon as she stepped out of the manor.

Therefore, she said it directly in a cold voice.

"this......."

Lord Fang was still in a dilemma. This was the Crown Princess; how could he let her go to jail?

If His Highness the Crown Prince comes later, won't he punish me?

"Lord Fang, you don't need to be in a difficult position. All of this was my own request. Now there are more and more people outside, and you can't fight against so many people."

Su Liluo seemed to sense Lord Fang's predicament and spoke to him again.

She knew that the person behind this incident had planned it for a long time and made ample preparations.

The risks of her going out now are far greater than the risks of her not going out.

In fact, she was absolutely right.

At this moment, Gao Junning was watching everything from a distance, upstairs in a restaurant. Many of his own people had infiltrated the crowd.

He had made several preparations today: either Su Liluo would stay in jail, or if she came out, some radical people would take the opportunity to harm her.

This damage... will leave you crippled even if you don't die.

Finally, Lord Fang had no choice but to loudly announce that the Crown Princess would be temporarily detained, and the commotion among the people gradually subsided.

When Xiao Ye rushed to the government office, Su Liluo was following the guards to the prison. Xiao Ye quickly caught up with them.

"Luo'er! I'm sorry I'm late. I'll take you away now."

Xiao Ye stepped forward with a guilty look and grabbed Su Liluo's hand.

Today, he led his troops to conduct drills in the suburbs, which is quite far from the city. As a result, the round trip took a long time. He felt guilty for not being able to protect Su Liluo at the crucial moment.

“Husband, no need. There are still many people outside. As soon as I go out, they will definitely cause trouble. It’s only for a few days. I’ll be fine.”

Su Liluo grabbed Xiao Ye's hand and explained to him earnestly.

"What exactly is going on?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye immediately sensed something was wrong and knew that someone must be behind it.

So, Su Liluo roughly explained the whole story to Xiao Ye.

"In other words, the key now is to find Yi Lan. Yi Lan is a man of the King of Chu. The King of Chu was only recently demoted to a county prince, so he shouldn't be restless so soon."

“I think so too, but Yi Lan disappeared after the incident, and she is the only suspect in the entire pharmacy now.”

Su Liluo frowned as she analyzed the situation.

She also felt that Xiao Churen shouldn't have acted so quickly, but Yi Lan's disappearance was too coincidental, so she could only suspect him.

Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "No matter what, I will still secretly investigate the matter with the Prince of Chu. As for Physician Yilan, don't worry, I will find her as soon as possible!"

"Um."

Su Liluo nodded trustingly.

She left the task of finding Yi Lan to Xiao Ye, trusting in his abilities. As for herself, she planned to use the next few days to develop some new drugs for interrogating Yi Lan.

Because she knew that even if she caught Yilan, she wouldn't admit it, so she had to use some methods.

So, Xiao Ye gave some instructions to the government office and arranged a very clean and well-equipped cell for Su Liluo before reluctantly leaving.

*

The news of the death at Luoxuantang Pharmacy quickly spread throughout the capital, along with the fact that the owner of the pharmacy was the Crown Princess.

With the help of those with ulterior motives, the entire capital is now filled with voices cursing Su Liluo. What's more, some court officials are openly impeaching Xiao Ye in the court.

Xiao Ye argued his case forcefully and promised to give everyone an explanation after the case was closed, which temporarily appeased the court officials.

When Su Zhen learned that his daughter had been in such a predicament, he was naturally very worried. After court, he took Sister Qiao and the others to the prison to visit Su Liluo.

Just then, Chu Yan and the others were also very worried about her, so in the afternoon, a lot of people came to the door of Su Liluo's cell.

"Luo'er, could this have been done by Prince Xiao?"

Chu Yan stood at the cell door with concern, looking at Su Liluo inside the cell with heartache.

She thought it was because Su Liluo had rescued her from Xiao Wang's clutches and injured Xiao Wang and Chu Yun that she had been retaliated against and framed by them.

But Su Liluo shook her head and looked at Chu Yan with a smile.

"Yan'er, don't overthink it. This has nothing to do with you. Even if Prince Xiao were to take revenge on me, he wouldn't do it so quickly. He's too busy taking care of himself right now to think of such a vicious method to deal with me."

"If that's not Prince Xiao, then who could it be? Could it be Prince Chu?"

"Is the Prince of Chu the same prince that my cousin Wanshi married? Could it be that my cousin Wanshi is trying to harm my sister Luo'er?"

Hearing Chu Yan's words, Sister Qiao couldn't help but speculate.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhen's expression darkened.

He considered the second branch of the Su family's hatred and jealousy towards Su Liluo, so it was not surprising that they had done such a thing.

Especially now that Su Wanshi has married the King of Chu, he has recently heard the second wife boast about how much the King of Chu dotes on Su Wanshi.

In this light, it's possible that Su Wanshi whispered something in his ear.
