"Shen'er, take the jasmine to Yaoling. ”

"Yes, sis. With a promise, the person had already walked towards the closet next to the couch, and took out a fine brocade box in a small drawer in the middle of the closet.

In this gap, Chang Ruoli said softly to Yaoling: "Jasmine was born in the south, the flowers are elegant and small, and the fragrance of the flowers is light and elegant. Jasmine is planted in the garden of the Yeonlong royal family, and when it is in full bloom, I personally pick it to make incense powder, spray it on my clothes, or let the incense shop in the palace make incense. Speaking of this, her expression was quiet and calm, as if she recalled the scene when she was a girl. Remembering that after marrying Feng Xuan, Feng Xuan would send someone to Yanlong every year to buy newly picked jasmine flowers for her, and would also ask for jasmine incense from the incense shop of the Yanlong royal family for her use, and there was a faint happy smile in her eyes.

But since entering this palace, she has never told Feng Qing that she has a soft spot for jasmine, and she doesn't want Feng Qing to disturb the Yanlong royal family.

"You like jasmine too?" Seeing Yaoling holding jasmine in her hand and sniffing it gently, Chang Ruoli asked softly. She didn't notice the tension in her eyes as the wind shone on the side.

". Are all these incense sticks made by the palace incense shop?" asked Yao Ling as she smelled the incense.

Chang Ruoli looked at Shen'er, and Shen'er looked at Yaoling with some doubts, "Yes, the incense in the palace is from the incense workshop." The incense that each lady likes is recorded in detail in the incense workshop, and the incense shop is specially made according to the preferences of the mothers. Shen'er answered Yaoling's question for Chang Ruoli.

"Before I go back to Jiangli, is Qingli Palace still using this incense?"

"Yes, Niangniang has been using this incense for many years. "Shen'er is a little strange, I don't know why Yaoling asked.

Feng Zhao didn't speak, just looked at Yaoling with a pair of deep eyes. The light under his eyes flickered coldly.

"Aunt Shen'er, you can go to the incense shop to get incense now. Shen'er looked at Chang Ruoli, and Chang Ruoli nodded. Shen'er went out of the door.

"What's wrong with the incense?" asked Feng Zhao in a low voice. The deep and handsome eyes exuded the light of the cold stars in the distant sky.

Yaoling nodded and glanced at him. looked at Chang Ruoli again: "Niangniang, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Chang Ruoli shook her head. There was a hint of thought and understanding in her beautiful eyes.

"This incense is added to the special items, at first it smells, there is no discomfort, but after a long time, people will be in poor spirits, the body will be sleepy, and after smelling for a long time, they will be in a trance. Eventually, it will lead to delusion, depression and depression until the depression cannot be relieved, and depression will lead to death or suicide. ”

Fengzhao stood up suddenly, looking like the sky before a storm, gloomy as if a storm was about to occur. The hand in the cuff clenched tightly into a fist.

Even Chang Ruoli, whose face was as calm as a lake, was shocked.

"Mother, I'll take your pulse. ”

Chang Ruoli stretched out her Hao wrist to Yao Ling, Yao Ling gently took it for a while, and there was a touch of nervousness in the wind on the side.

After a while, Yaoling withdrew her hand and said to Fengzhao: "Niangniang is fine. Feng Zhao secretly let out a sigh of relief.

The three of them didn't speak again, just waited quietly for the pendant.

Not long. Shen'er hurried back, holding a brocade box in her hand.

Yaoling took the incense that Shen'er brought and lit it herself. When the faint jasmine fragrance wafted away, she sniffed carefully. After a while, she extinguished the burning incense with the lid of the incense burner, and said to Shen'er, "This incense is good." ”

Hearing this, Fengzhao and Chang Ruoli's eyes were puzzled. Even Shen'er was a little confused.

Feng Zhao slowly and carefully thought about it, the incense he took from the incense shop was good, so-he suddenly looked at Shen'er, and Shen'er couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw Fengzhao's searching gaze.

"Aunt Shen'er. Can I take your pulse?" Yaoling said in a low voice as she looked at Shen'er, who glanced at Chang Ruoli. Chang Ruoli nodded,

The pendant raised the sleeve slightly. Revealing her white wrist, Yaoling tapped her fingers lightly, and suddenly there was a trace of surprise in her eyes, but it was fleeting, and after a while, she took her hand and asked Shen'er: "Auntie has been tired and tired lately?" Shen'er nodded and replied: "Yes, I have always been in poor spirits lately, I thought it was because the weather was getting hotter." ”

"My aunt is already showing some signs of poisoning. With a light and light sentence, the shocked pendant looked horrified, Chang Ruoli stood up from the chair and looked at Yaoling and asked Yaoling in a low voice: "Can you solve it?"

Yaoling nodded, "The poisoning is not deep, you don't need to solve it, as long as you don't use the previous incense." ”

After that, she looked at Shen'er with a pair of big sparkling eyes: "The incense that Aunt Shen'er brought from Xiangfang is good." Didn't someone enter the mother's dormitory and do something on this incense?" The sound is extremely low.

"No," Shen'er said, "All the qiē in Niangniang's dormitory are personally checked with Ming'er, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without my consent." ”

Ming'er is a maid sent by Chang Ruoli into the harem of the palace, and she has a steady heart and doesn't like words. I've been with Chang Ruoli for fifteen years now. It's a lot of trust between the glass and the pendant.

Suddenly, Shen'er seemed to remember something and said: "In the past few months, Niangniang has been busy making wedding dresses for the third princess, and I helped by the side, and the matter of taking incense was handed over to Ming'er." Hearing her say this, Fengzhao and Yaoling glanced at each other.

"Ming'er" Chang Ruoli called softly outside the door.

A shallow and beautiful woman's voice came from the door of "Niangniang", and a woman of the same grade as Shen'er walked in. His demeanor is steady, and his eyebrows are clear.

"Ming'er, did you get the incense in the palace personally?" Chang Ruoli's voice was gentle and soft.

"Niangniang, I used to take it, but later there were many things in the palace, and I saw that Cai Qing's girl was stable and handed over the matter of taking incense to her. Ming'er replied softly. The demeanor is respectful and calm.

"You will call Cai Qing," Chang Ruoli commanded softly.

"Yes"

Not long after, Cai Qing, who was wearing a light blue dress, walked in with low eyebrows.

"Cai Qing, did you go to the incense shop to get this incense?" Shen'er handed the brocade box containing jasmine to Cai Qing.

A trace of panic flashed in Cai Qing's eyes for no reason.

"It was taken by the slave and the maid. She lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice. The wind on the side, a pair of eyes as sharp as the eagle's eye looking for prey, staring at Cai Qing in front of him, who trembled slightly.

What was about to be said by Shen'er, but suddenly Yaoling stretched out a hand and blocked her questioning.

"Picking green. Can you tell me, what did you do on the way to get incense?" she asked directly, her tone was cold and sharp, and at the same time, a pair of big crystal eyes stared at Cai Qing in front of her without blinking.

"Nope. Princess, mother, I didn't do anything. Cai Qing hurriedly knelt down, and there were already faint trills and cries in her voice.

Yaoling looked at Cai Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, and was silent for a while, and then said slowly, word by word: "Cai Qing, you stand up first." Cai Qing stood up tremblingly.

Yao Ling slowly circled around Cai Qing, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have a small bottle full of spices on your body, and the spices in the bottle are watery, right?"

"Princess. The trembling Cai Qing wanted to kneel down again, but suddenly a gust of wind passed, and Cai Qing didn't react to what was happening. Yaoling, who was standing in front of her, already had a very small and delicate porcelain vase in her hand, the porcelain vase was about the thickness of a thumb, and it was well-made, and the mouth of the bottle was slender and played with a thin wooden stick.

Seeing the vial, Cai Qing instinctively touched his waist, his face suddenly became extremely ugly and frightened, and his legs went limp down.

Yaoling gently pulled out the small wooden stick on the mouth of the porcelain bottle, then took a piece of jasmine and tilted the porcelain bottle. A slight drop of crystal clear water dripped from the mouth of the bottle, and the jasmine incense seeped into it instantly.

Then she lit the jasmine again, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it. Finally, he nodded to Fengzhao, who was standing aside.

Feng Zhao didn't speak, a pair of gloomy eyes quietly stared at Cai Qing who was kneeling on the ground, the slightest wisps of cold air had been faintly dispersed around his body, and his hand slowly stretched out towards Cai Qing.

"Shen'er, send her back to the Huanyi Bureau, just say that Qingli Palace doesn't need so many maids now. Suddenly, Chang Ruoli on the side gently commanded Shen'er, and her tone was gentle and gentle.

Feng Zhao's outstretched hand paused suddenly, and together with the stunned Yaoling, they all looked at Chang Ruoli, whose face was as calm as water, and Cai Qing on the ground called out weakly, "Niangniang"

"You better go back to the Huanyi Bureau, I don't care who sent you, you must be involuntarily. After going out, he said that the pendant of Qingli Palace should be watched closely, and the maids and palace people who can't be trusted can only save your life. Chang Ruoli's tone was still gentle and gentle, without a trace of annoyance or anger.

Feng Zhao heard his mother press the row like this, and forcibly withdrew the outstretched hand, but he didn't say much, Yaoling originally wanted to stop Chang Ruoli, but after thinking about it, she gave up stopping it. And Shen'er also had a calm face, as if what had just happened had never happened at all.

Cai Qing on the ground stood up tremblingly, and was about to walk out of the door, but he heard Yaoling shouting: "Take this back." Otherwise, your master won't believe that you are a superfluous palace maid from Qingli Palace. With that, he handed the porcelain vase to Cai Qing.

Cai Qing took the porcelain vase and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and knelt down and kowtowed to Chang Ruoli, and said in a low voice with tears falling into two lines: "I didn't intend to harm Niangniang, but the person who ordered me has a life-saving grace for me, I have no other way, and I will never forget Niangniang's kindness to me." He stood up and wiped away his tears from his eyes and walked out of the door of the dormitory.

Then Shen'er followed.

At this time, the room was quiet again.

"Mother" Feng Zhao called softly, looking at her mother with deep worry in her eyes.

Seeing the worry in Feng Zhao's eyes, Chang Ruoli smiled slightly, and there was an indescribable demure and gentle calmness in her smile.

"You don't have to worry about me, isn't my mother so easy to be murdered?"

Feng Zhao couldn't help but be stunned in his heart. Suddenly, it occurred to me that the pendant had signs of poisoning, but the weak mother who lived in the dormitory was not poisoned. He couldn't help but look at Yaoling who was sitting quietly on the side, and saw that her expression was also very calm, and her heart was no longer as nervous as before. (To be continued)
