Xiao Jinyan asked coldly, "How did Chun Tao come to possess the poison on the crest of a crane?"
Shen Mingzhu, under the glare of those icy eyes, guiltily lowered her gaze, "Your Highness, I do not know, perhaps someone else gave it to her."
She cast a meaningful look toward Shen Chuwei.
Xiao Jinyan then asked, "You claim to have treated Chun Tao kindly, so why did she appear emaciated and malnourished?"
Shen Mingzhu explained, "Your Highness, Chun Tao herself said she was dieting and refused to eat, it's not that I didn't provide her with meals."
Xiao Jinyan had no desire to hear Shen Mingzhu's nonsense and commanded, "Someone come, seal off Lanyue Hall and arrest all the maids and servants for a strict interrogation."
"Yes, my lord." Liu Xi directed his subordinates to carry out the order.
