Gu Xin asked emphatically what happened an hour before Bai Shijie's death. The four maids all said that nothing special happened.

And the same goes for Aunt Cen and A Yan.

Aunt Cen mainly stayed with Zheng Wei and Brother Yu. Brother Yu's room was a bit far away from Bai Shijie's room, so Ayan was the only one who stayed almost the entire afternoon.

He said that he had been guarding the door of the study. Recently, due to the death of King Donglin, the atmosphere in the mansion has been bad. It was rare for Bai Shijie to stay in the study for so long. He also had some free time and went to the stone staircase outside the study. Take a nap.

"Is there no movement in the room?" Gu Xin asked.

"No." Ayan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "The villain is a little sleepy and hasn't slept well recently. There may be some movement inside, but if the movement is not big, it won't wake the villain."

"Before, the eldest grandma said that someone would ask you if the eldest son had woken up. When was that time?" Gu Xin asked again.

"It was probably Youshizheng, because it was just dark at that time. After a while, the eldest lady came over and asked the young master to go out for dinner. The villain even entered the study at that time, where the young master was sleeping under a thin quilt, so the villain did not go Wake up the young master, who knows..." A Yan was a little sad.

If he had gone and woke someone up, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

He also felt sorry for his young master. He hadn't had much rest in the past few days. Thinking that the young master could sleep, let him sleep a little longer. Who knew how long it would take for the princess to investigate the case?

This Ayan was bought by Bai Shijie when he was a child. He was not a servant bought by someone from the palace.

He was loyal to Bai Shijie and only wanted Bai Shijie to live a good life. He felt heartbroken for Bai Shijie from the bottom of his heart.

"You mean, when it got dark, you entered the study and your young master was resting under a thin quilt? Did you see his face?" Gu Xin asked with a frown.

"No." Ayan shook his head and said, "The young master sleeps on his side, facing inward. The villain can't see the young master's face, only the back of his head."

"Then do you remember his sleeping posture?" Gu Xin asked next.

"It seems, it seems to be curled up." A Yan thought for a while and then said, "Ever since the death of the prince, the young master has been sleeping like this. There was a time when the young master was not in good health and often asked the doctor. The villain also secretly asked the doctor "Yes, the doctor said that the young master was deeply affected by the death of his son and could not sleep well. This is the most comfortable position for him to sleep in."

"Shijie, my Shijie..." As soon as Ayan finished speaking, a heartbreaking shout came from outside.

Gu Xin asked Ayan and others to step aside.

The fastest ones here were naturally the mother and son of the nearest family, Mrs. Shizi and Bai Shiying, the fourth girl of the Bai family.

Bai Shiying and a maid came in supporting the Crown Prince's wife Zhang, who could no longer walk.

Mrs. Zhang's face was pale and full of tears. She cried out her son's name, which made people feel sad to hear her and couldn't bear to see her.

"Princess, princess, please, we must find the murderer, find the murderer who killed my son!" When they arrived in the hall, Ms. Zhang seemed to suddenly have strength, broke away from her daughter and the maid's hands, and stumbled towards Gu Xin came over, knelt down in front of her, kowtowed and cried.

"Mom!" Bai Shiying quickly stepped forward to stop her.

Mrs. Zhang fell ill just a few days ago and has not recovered yet, so how can she do these actions.
