If there is something wrong with the incense, it will be clear that if Lu Daimei has the intention of harming others, it is impossible to do it so obviously.

Moreover, when the imperial doctor investigated the cause of death of the good concubine, he said that he had never seen the poison in the good concubine, and oleander poison was not uncommon.

Shen Ruojiao didn't suspect Lu Daimei at all, and followed Empress Chen to Jingchun Palace, just to find out the origin of oleander.

In this way, Lu Daimei was also framed.

Lu Dai, whose hands were tied behind her back, was crying: "Mei'er really hasn't done it, Mei'er and the concubine are just a few sides, how can you kill the concubine, someone must want to frame Mei'er." ”

Lu Daimei's words of defense reminded Shen Ruojiao.

The reason why the real murderer wants to frame Lu Daimei is very understandable, because Lu Daimei is from a humble background and has no relatives and no reason in Qijing, and no one will stand up for her.

It's just that how did the murderer know that Lu Daimei would mix potpourri for the concubine, and how did she add oleander to it after she mixed the incense?

Those who can do these two things at the same time can only be people who are close to Lu Daimei.

For example, the close-fitting big palace maid.

Lu Daimei's personal palace maid is called Ah Xiu.

Ah Xiu was timid, and after being called into the room by Shen Ruojiao, he didn't even dare to raise his head, not like someone who dared to poison someone.

"What Mei Qizi does on weekdays, do you know?"

Although Ah Xiu was afraid, he still said boldly: "The slave and maid will never dare to hide it, but Mei Qizi really did not poison it, when Mei Qizi mixed the potpourri, it was the slave and the maid who were fighting, and they never left for a moment, after the incense was done, Mei Qizi and the slave maid were sent to Suyun Palace together, and Mei Qizi was wronged." ”

Ah Xiu seems to be a timid person, but he is loyal.

Shen Ruojiao looked at her gaze softened, and said, "According to what you say, this potpourri fragrance passed through the hands of your master and servant, but it made Mei Qizi even more suspicious." ”

Ah Xiu's eyes widened and he waved his hand: "No, it's not like this, the slave maid and Mei Qizi did not send the potpourri to the good concubine Niangniang, but handed it over to the palace maid of Suyun Palace." ”

"Oh, do you recognize the lady?"

Ah Xiu shook his head: "The slave maid has never seen it." ”

In this way, she is not the big palace maid next to the concubine.

Suyun Palace has three main halls, in addition to the big palace maids next to the main seat, there are thirty palace maids in each hall, and it may not be easy to find this person from the ninety palace maids.

Shen Ruojiao asked tentatively, "If this palace maid is standing in front of you now, can you identify it?"

Ah Xiu made a difficulty, she really didn't pay attention to the appearance of the palace maid.

Seeing Ah Xiu's embarrassed face, Shen Ruojiao also understood.

It seems that the problem is still in Suyun Palace.

Shen Ruojiao looked away a little, but inadvertently glanced at a purse exposed on Ah Xiu's waist.

The color of this purse is pink and blue, the embroidery is exquisite, and the pattern is also ingenious.

This purse, Shen Ruojiao has seen it before.

It was embroidered by the dead palace maid Sandalwood in this prospect pure palace, and Xun'er, who was in the same room with Sandalwood, said that this embroidery method is the secret technique of Sandalwood's hometown.

After the Sandalwood case came to an end, everything in her room was taken away.

This kind of purse will not appear again.

Shen Ruojiao's eyes lit up, and she said quietly: "Are you familiar with sandalwood?"

When Ah Xiu heard Sandalwood's name, she shuddered, shook her head and said, "I'm not familiar, I haven't said a few words, does this matter have anything to do with Sandalwood?"

Shen Ruojiao didn't answer, and changed the topic and said, "This purse you are carrying is quite chic, show it to the palace." ”

When Ah Xiu heard this, he didn't think much about it, and honestly took off his purse and handed it to Shen Ruojiao.

Shen Ruojiao played with it and praised: "It's really a good embroiderer, you embroidered it?"

Ah Xiu shook his head: "No, this is the old thing that Mei Qizi asked the slave to burn before, and the slave saw that this purse was still brand new, so she took it upon herself to keep it." ”

This is even stranger.

After Lu Daimei arrived at Jingchun Palace, she disposed of the sandalwood flowers on the first day, and it was unlikely that the two would accept it privately.

Besides, Shen Ruojiao just looked through it, and embroidered a small sandalwood character with white thread in the inner lining of the purse.

It should be something that sandalwood has been brought close to me.

Shen Ruojiao checked the purse, raised her eyes and said, "The workmanship of this purse is really good, can you give it to the palace?"

Ah Xiu was frightened: "Niangniang's words are serious, if Niangniang likes it, just take it." ”

Although it is not yet known what the connection between this purse and Tanhua's death is, Shen Ruojiao faintly feels that the Tanhua case is not over yet.

On the surface, it is a series of sets set up by Liu Guifei in order to seize the rear position, but behind the scenes, there may be more unknown things.

And Lu Daimei is also involved.

Could it be that Lu Daimei was Liu Guifei's person from the beginning?

Shen Ruojiao silently put away her purse, these doubts and speculations, she will figure them out sooner or later.

Since Lu Daimei is not as pure as she seems on the surface, does she really have nothing to do with the poisoning case?

It is not difficult to hide from an ignorant palace maid like Ah Xiu.

Seeing that the sky was dark, the black clouds were drowsy, and it was about to rain again.

Shen Ruojiao didn't get much information from Ah Xiu, and she couldn't be sure that Lu Daimei was related to this case, so she could only explore it tomorrow.

This made Empress Chen extremely disdainful: "What kind of intelligence is complete, and I don't see what flowers to ask, I am really a deceptive thief." ”

Shen Ruojiao didn't argue, and said indifferently: "A case where human life is at stake, you can't judge it easily, and please don't be impatient." ”

Empress Chen sneered and drove away with Kite Qiu.

The spring rain came in a hurry, and as soon as Shen Ruojiao stepped out of Jingchun Palace with one foot, the rain beads crackled and smashed down.

Jiyue said anxiously: "This ghost weather, if it rains, it will rain, lady, you wait for me, I'll go in and borrow an umbrella." ”

As he spoke, she put her hand above her head and wanted to run into the hall.

"Concubine Niangniang-"

A call came from the rain, stopping the moon.

Shen Ruojiao looked up through the rain curtain.

The person who came was holding a green bamboo umbrella and holding one in his hand.

When the man got closer, Shen Ruojiao saw that this person was wearing the clothes of a eunuch, and it was Deyong, a henchman beside Bai Zhen.

Deyong still squinted his eyes, with a smile that seemed to be smiling: "Guifei Niangniang, the slave maid saw you standing under the eaves from afar, and I came to relieve my worries." ”

Shen Ruojiao smiled and took the green bamboo umbrella.

The bones of this bamboo umbrella are a little cold, and it looks unusual.

"Then thank you Father-in-law Deyong. ”

"The mother is tormented by the slave maid, the road is slippery on rainy days, and the mother is careful and slow. ”

Shen Ruojiao nodded, opened the umbrella, and walked into the rain curtain with the support of the moon.

Tokunaga stood there and watched her leave.

What he didn't see was that as soon as Shen Ruojiao turned his head, the expression on his face turned cold, replaced by a solemn face.

There are not so many coincidences in the world.

If there is, it is man-made.
