Chapter 2158 A Yan

Gu Xin focused on asking about the situation one hour before Bai Shijie's death, and the four maids said nothing special happened.

The same was true for Nanny Cen and A Yan.

Nanny Cen was mainly with Zheng Wei and Yu Ge'er, and Yu Ge'er's room was a little far from Bai Shijie's room, so only A Yan was alone almost the whole afternoon.

He said that he had been guarding the door of the study. Recently, because of the death of King Donglin, the atmosphere in the mansion has been bad. Bai Shijie rarely stayed in the study for so long, and he was free, so he took a nap on the stone steps outside the study.

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

"No." A Yan scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm a little sleepy and haven't slept well recently. Maybe there is movement inside, but if it's not loud, it won't wake me up."

"Then the eldest grandmother said that someone came to ask if your eldest son has woken up. What time was that?" Gu Xin asked again.

"It was probably at 5 p.m., because it was just getting dark. Soon after, the grandmother came to ask the young master to go out for dinner. I went into the study room at that time, and the young master was sleeping under a thin blanket in the study room, so I didn't wake him up, but who knew..." A Yan was a little sad.

If he had woken him up at that time, perhaps this would not have happened.

He was also worried about his young master, who had not had much rest in recent days. Thinking that the young master could sleep, he let him sleep a little longer. Who knows how long the princess will take to investigate the case?

This A Yan was bought by Bai Shijie when he was a child, and he was not a servant bought by the people in the palace.

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

"You mean, when it was just getting dark, you went into the study room, and your young master was resting under a thin blanket? Did you see his face?" Gu Xin asked with a frown.

"No." A Yan shook his head and said, "The young master was sleeping on his side, facing inwards. I couldn't see his face, but only the back of his head."

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

"It seems, it seems to be curled up." A Yan thought for a while and said, "Since the death of the prince, the young master has been sleeping like this. There was a period of time when the young master was in poor health and often asked for a doctor. I secretly asked the doctor, and the doctor said that the young master was hit hard by the death of the prince and had poor sleep. He slept like that, which was his most comfortable position."

"Shijie, my Shijie..." As soon as A Yan finished speaking, a heart-wrenching cry came from outside.

Gu Xin asked A Yan and others to step aside.

The fastest ones were naturally the mother and son of the eldest house, the prince's wife and the fourth girl of the Bai family, Bai Shiying.

Bai Shiying and a maid helped the prince's wife Zhang, who could no longer walk, in.

Zhang's face was pale and full of tears. She cried out her son's name, which was heartbreaking to hear and unbearable to see.

"Princess, Princess, please, you must find the murderer, find the murderer who killed my son!" When she arrived in the hall, Zhang seemed to have suddenly gained strength. She broke free from her daughter and the maid's hands, stumbled towards Gu Xin, walked to her, knelt down, and then kowtowed while crying.

"Mother!" Bai Shiying hurried forward to stop her.

Zhang had just fallen ill a few days ago and had not recovered yet, so how could she do these actions.
