Chapter 31: Yunzhou
"What did you say!"
In the Zhaojin Palace, Empress Chen, who got the news, took the case, and her delicate jade face was distorted by anger.
"Si Xing Bureau...... The emperor never let anyone inquire about the Si Xing Bureau, okay, what a Shen Ruojiao, the palace really underestimated her. Empress Chen's eyes were gloomy.
Iris Qiu echoed indignantly: "Even so, I don't know what tricks I played." ”
Empress Chen didn't speak, she bit her lip tightly, and the Jinpa she was holding in her hand was ravaged and crumpled.
On the other side, Liu Guifei also received the news.
"Si Xing Bureau?" Liu Guifei smiled without smiling, "Nian'er, go and bring a message to General Liu." ”
Nian'er has always been shrewd, exchanged glances with Concubine Liu, and then turned around and went out.
Liu Guifei had a chessboard in front of her, she couldn't play chess, and the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were chaotic, but Liu Guifei didn't care about it and continued to fiddle with the chess pieces as she wanted.
There was a little palace maid behind her, who knew a little about chess games, and reminded: "Niangniang, it's not good to play here." ”
She hooked her lips and sneered: "I think I'm a smart stupid thing, how to play this chess, it's not up to me to say, drag it down, and beat it to death." ”
The little palace maid was dragged out, and a moment later, a wail rang out.
Liu Guifei in the hall listened to the painful cry and begging for mercy, not only was she unmoved, but even laughed wantonly.
Shen Ruojiao, who was in Suyun Palace, didn't know that in addition to Bai Zhen, there were people who were also monitoring her every move.
After she realized that Cui Guiren's dress was too ostentatious, her suspicion of Cui Guiren became deeper and deeper.
A palace concubine of the emperor who can't be seen at all, her face is full of red light every day, and her eyes are charming.
Shen Ruojiao had a faint guess, but she felt a little incredible, if it was really as she thought, it would be a felony of the Nine Clans.
Cui Guiren, who looks weak, really has the courage to do that kind of thing?
However, there is indeed no poison in the deodorant pill, if it was made by Cui Guiren, when did she attack the good concubine?
Shen Ruojiao was puzzled.
At this point in the case, all the clues have been broken, and the evidence and testimony on the surface seem to be a mess, but Shen Ruojiao can't find the thread.
Staying in Suyun Palace couldn't find anything, Shen Ruojiao simply returned to Hancui Palace.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Shen Ruojiao called into the frost: "Go, stare at Cui Guiren." ”
"Good. Frost didn't ask anything, but took a few steps up the eaves and galloped away.
Jiyue looked at her back a little sluggishly: "Flying around in the frost all day long, don't you feel dizzy?"
Hearing this, Shen Ruojiao chuckled and shook her head.
Half a day passed, Shen Ruojiao had been sitting in front of the window lattice in a daze, she had sorted out all the ideas that should be done, but she still couldn't figure out how Cui Guiren poisoned, this poison didn't even know the well-informed imperial doctor.
"Lady, you can rest for a while, eat something and think about it. Holding a bowl of porridge, she pushed open the door, and saw that Shen Ruojiao was still sitting withered, with a flat mouth and a distressed face.
Shen Ruojiao was full of thoughts, turned in his chest, and finally turned into a sigh: "You say, how did the good concubine get poisoned?"
Jiyue pouted: "The slave doesn't know how the concubine was poisoned, the slave only knows that if the lady doesn't eat, her stomach will be hungry." ”
Shen Ruojiao smiled and said: "You, you are really getting more and more open-mouthed, is it that I am too used to you on weekdays." ”
"The slave is not worried about the lady's body. Knowing that Shen Ruojiao was not really angry, she stuck out her tongue and brought the porridge to Shen Ruojiao, "The lady always said that she has no appetite, this is my new appetizing medicine porridge, it smells fragrant, lady, you can taste it." ”
Shen Ruojiao was half incredulous, picked up the silver spoon, and took a sip: "It has a fruity taste, is it a Buddha's hand?"
The moon raised her round little face: "There are also tangerine peels and acacia flowers, both of which nourish the stomach." ”
Shen Ruojiao smiled: "Are you cooking porridge or stewing in a mess, and you are not afraid of brewing medicine." ”
After finishing speaking, Shen Ruojiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and looked down at the thick medicinal porridge in his hand.
"No, it won't. Ji Yue didn't pay attention to the change in Shen Ruojiao's expression, and shook her head to herself, "I did it after asking the imperial doctor." ”
Shen Ruojiao lowered her head and locked her eyebrows.
"Lady?" "Lady?" Ji Yue was startled, reached out and took the medicinal porridge, and looked at it carefully with wide eyes, "It can't really be a medicinal pill, right?
The moon was so anxious that her tears were about to come out.
Shen Ruojiao suddenly raised her head and smiled at her: "Jiyue, you did a good job." ”
"Huh?" "Jiyue was confused, holding the medicinal porridge, not putting it, not letting it go.
Shen Ruojiao stood up suddenly, took the medicinal porridge and put it away, and walked out with the moon in tow.
"Lady, where are we going?" said Yuyue hadn't reacted to what was happening.
"Too Hospital. Shen Ruojiao's words were concise and to the point.
Imperial Physician Liu, that is, the Imperial Physician who had been kneeling outside the Ruixin Hall before, looked at the pink and white pill in his hand with a puzzled expression, and after a while, he said firmly: "Niangniang, Weichen is sure that this deodorant pill is not poisonous. ”
Shen Ruojiao waved her hand: "I'm not asking you to check whether it's poisonous, I'm asking you to check what's in it." ”
"Oooh. Imperial Physician Liu suddenly understood, put the pill into the porcelain bottle, and replied easily, "Weichen has tested it before, and this recipe is made of six kinds of white fragrant flowers: white peony, white lotus, white orchid, white plum, white angelica, and white jasmine. ”
"It seems to be a common herb. Shen Ruojiao lowered her eyes and groaned, and asked again, "Is there anything in it that can't be taken with the moonrise tea?"
Imperial Physician Liu looked embarrassed: "This, Shu Weichen is only a shallow learner, this month's tea is after the recovery of the Northwest, it was gradually introduced to the Central Plains, and it is a scarce tribute tea, ordinary people have no chance to see this kind of tea, let alone take it to study its medicinal properties." ”
Shen Ruojiao was a little disappointed: "Then it seems that only Yunzhou people know the secret." ”
In a flash of lightning, she suddenly understood why Concubine Wan was killed.
Wan Concubine, who was invited by the concubine to go to Ruixin Hall and taste the taste of her hometown, because she was from Yunzhou, she knew what she couldn't eat with moonrise tea.
Concubine Wan was taken aback by the death of the concubine, and she didn't react at first, but when she recovered from the concubine's poisoning state, she understood who the murderer was.
"Is there a palace maid from Yunzhou in Suyun Palace?" asked Shen Ruojiao.
Ji Yue shook her head: "I don't remember." ”
"What about our palace?"
"No, only the frost in the palace is from the northwest, but she is from Duanzhou. Ji Yue thought for a while, and added, "There are few people in the northwest in the Central Plains, let alone in the palace. ”
"No, go and find it, I don't believe that there is no Yunzhou person in the palace. Shen Ruojiao frowned.
Her speculation is already complete, just one testimony, a testimony from a person in Yunzhou.
If there was no second Yunzhou person in the palace, the truth about the moonrise tea and deodorant pills would be hidden forever with the death of Concubine Wan.
"No......" Shen Ruojiao suddenly thought of something, and her brows gradually relaxed, "I know." ”
"Huh?" "The moon is still in hindsight, "Does the lady know who is from Yunzhou?"
Shen Ruojiao's eyebrows bent, and she smiled slyly: "I don't know who he is, but I know where that Yunzhou man is." ”
Jiyue blinked in surprise, although she didn't know why, her eyes were full of adoration.
Imperial Physician Liu was also at a loss, and the second monk couldn't touch his head.
"Let's go, we still have to go to Xuanjing Palace. Shen Ruojiao flicked down her sleeves, stood up and walked out.
"Huh?" "Huh?" Qi Yue followed in confusion, muttering in her mouth, "Is that Yunzhou from the Imperial Palace?"
Shen Ruojiao smiled and did not speak.
