“If you want to see that maidservant, I can help. Back then, Prince Heng opposed my royal father, and my royal father also felt that there was something fishy about Beauty Yin’s matter, so he went to find her personal maid. In the end, he did not expect that the maidservant had already been poisoned to become mute, and she had gone crazy. However, my royal father still raised her, hoping that she might be of use in the future,” Rong Zhan said slowly.

Hearing what Rong Zhan said, Gu Qingxue’s interest was piqued. “Then I’ll have to trouble Your Royal Highness to take me to see that maidservant.”

Rong Zhan agreed without hesitation.

The group of people returned to Jing City first. Before they entered the palace, they quietly went to the prince regent’s manor.

After putting away Beauty Yin’s body, Gu Qingxue and Director Wu followed Rong Zhan and walked toward the side courtyard of the prince regent’s manor.

Just as Rong Zhan set off to look for Gu Qingxue, he ordered his secret guards to take the maidservant to the prince regent’s manor and take good care of her in the courtyard.

The three of them had just stepped into the courtyard when the maidservant in charge of taking care of the maids quickly walked up and bowed to the three of them. “This servant greets His Royal Highness and the two lords.”

Gu Qingxue nodded in acknowledgment, then cast her gaze on the woman sitting under the plum tree not far away.

The woman looked like she was in her sixties. Her hair was gray and her back was thin. She was sitting under a tree in a daze. She looked up at the plum blossoms on the branches and grinned from time to time, letting out dry and unpleasant laughter.

Gu Qingxue furrowed her brows when she saw the servant girl’s state. She then turned to the elderly woman beside her and asked, “May I ask, has she always been in this state?”

The old woman nodded, sighed helplessly, and shook her head. she has always been like this. “Madam Zou was traumatized in her early years. By the time people found out about her, she was already mute and couldn’t speak. She also became crazy.”

“This person is crazy and can’t speak. It’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens to get any clues from her. Qingxue, what are you going to do?” Director Wu looked at Gu Qingxue with a worried expression.

“Let me take a look at the situation first.” Gu Qingxue walked in front of Madam Zou and looked at her deeply.

Madam Zou did not even look at Gu Qingxue. She was focused on the plum blossoms, her body swaying on the bench.

Gu Qingxue was deep in thought as she observed Madam Zou until she

suddenly saw a mark on Madam Zou’s hand.

A black poisonous thread was hidden under her skin, like a centipede baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Just looking at it would make one’s heart tremble.

Gu Qingxue looked at the poisonous thread and felt that it was very familiar!

Back then, when she discovered that her grandmother had been poisoned, she also found a similar mark on her grandmother’s body. However, the poison thread on her grandmother’s body was still grayish-blue and not completely black. It could be seen that Madam Zou had also been poisoned. However, the poison she had been poisoned with was more brutal than her grandmother’s and the effect was stronger, so it caused her to become crazy and silly overnight.

“She didn’t become crazy or stupid because of stimulation. She was poisoned. Director Wu, come and take a look at the poison line on her wrist.” Gu Qingxue immediately called for Director Wu.

Director Wu frowned as he came over to take a look. He stared at the mark and nodded with a serious expression. “It’s true. The imprint does look terrifying, and it also looks like she’s been poisoned.. However, since that person had the chance to poison her, why didn’t they just kill her?”
