Chapter 973

Mo Chuan turned around and held Chen Ning's hand as he said, "Ning 'er, come with me."

He knew that she was smart and with her here, they would be able to find more clues.

Chen Ning said with a nod, "Alright."

The two of them came to the side hall and found that not only was Ye Ting Xuan here, the Eldest Princess, Xiao Si, and Zhui Feng were also here.

There was a wet person lying on the ground like he had just been fished out of the water, but he wasn't moving at all.

When the Eldest Princess saw Chen Ning, she immediately went forward and grabbed her hand.

"Ning 'er, it's all my fault! It's all my fault, it was me who thought of this stupid idea, actually sending a snake into the palace. I wanted to scare royal brother, but it almost took your life! Ning 'er, viciously scold me and beat me up, that way my heart will feel a bit better. "

Her eyes were filled with tears, feeling ashamed and ashamed.

Chen Ning wiped her tears and comforted her, "Eldest Princess, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty. It was me who wanted to play and wanted to catch that snake, that's why I was bitten by it, it really has nothing to do with you. Not to mention that this matter was caused by someone who wanted to borrow a knife to kill me. Even if you gave me a different gift, he would have thought of another way."

The Eldest Princess hatefully said, "It's all this princess' fault for trusting the wrong person. Ning 'er, I never would have thought that the maid by my side would do this kind of thing, but she has already committed suicide. If she didn't die, this princess would have skinned her and pulled out her tendons, it wouldn't have been enough to vent the hatred in this princess' heart!"

She pointed at the motionless person on the ground, "It's her!"

"Committed suicide?" Chen Ning repeated this and looked down at the maid.

That maid was around eighteen or nineteen years old and had a delicate appearance, but her face was incomparably pale and her long hair was draped over her face, making her look like a water ghost.

She remembered this maid's face, she was indeed a maid serving the Eldest Princess.

"Yes, empress." The one who spoke was not the Eldest Princess, but rather Ye Ting Xuan.

"Ting Xuan told the Eldest Princess not to alert the enemy and told her to look after the maid and wait for me to return to the palace to interrogate her. When I returned, I found out that the maid had already disappeared. We searched for half a night and finally found the maid's floating corpse in the lotus pond. She must have been afraid of being exposed, so she jumped into the lake to escape punishment."

Ye Ting Xuan stomped his feet in hate, "Now that she's dead, all the clues are gone, so we can't find the culprit!"

Mo Chuan looked at the dead maid and couldn't help looking up at Chen Ning. His eyes were filled with shock and admiration.

Everything was exactly as she had expected!

But just like what Ye Ting Xuan said, once this servant girl died, they had no way to investigate.

His face turned ashen and his hands clenched into fists. He had nowhere to vent the anger in his chest.

She had already expected this matter. She knelt down beside the maid and carefully examined her. She carefully examined the maid's hands and finally opened the maid's mouth to take a look.

She squatted down next to the maidservant and lowered her head to examine her carefully. She examined the maidservant's hands very carefully and finally pried open the maidservant's mouth to take a look.

The people around them were all baffled by what they saw.

"Killed, killed to silence her?" The Eldest Princess looked at her in a daze and a chill ran down her back.
