Si Jing's famous words are not finished, but Zuo Tian understands.

In the deep palace compound, the most important thing is the people who have disappeared silently!

Zuo Tian turned around and left, he wanted to look for the entire Gude Palace again, this time it was not only the source of the poison, but also two living people.

Or, two bodies that have long since died.

Si Jingming glanced at the torn clothes on his arms, and resigned himself to the gate of the warm pavilion.

The first thing Bai Qingting did after entering the Warm Pavilion was to pour out the Baixiang Pill in the porcelain bottle and take it, and then began to find the source of the poison.

The Buddhist hall in the warm pavilion occupies a small area, and the furnishings are extremely simple, almost at a glance.

On the long high table, there is a Buddhist shrine with vermilion lacquer.

The Buddha statue in the shrine is cast of pure gold, and the gold shines brightly to blind people's eyes.

On both sides of the shrine is a high lotus lamp that is always lit day and night, the wick is soaked in the lamp oil day and night, and the head of the core flashes a small cluster of yellow and red flames.

The three pillars of incense in the bronze incense tripod are still curling with smoke and are almost burned out.

Counting the time when the incense candle burned out, before a pillar of incense, Concubine Cai Defei also came to the Buddhist hall, and her intention was self-evident, naturally she came to ask for peace for Long Mei.

Bai Qingting guessed correctly, Concubine Cai had just returned to the dormitory after begging for the Buddha from the Buddha hall for a while, and Si Jingming went to meet him.

The strong smell of incense and candles in her nose made Bai Qingting frown slightly, and she looked around, only to find that the only two window sills around her were covered tightly by heavy curtains.

She walked to one of the windowsills, Huo Ran opened the curtains, the lattices were tightly closed, she pushed them open, and the outer room was facing a folding corridor.

The two window sills and the main gate of the warm pavilion are divided into two separate corridors, and behind the wall where the shrine is placed is a small silent courtyard.

Because of the involvement of the Buddha hall, this small courtyard is rarely set foot on weekdays, except for the palace maids who are responsible for sprinkling and cleaning, almost no one comes here.

After opening the curtain and pushing open the windowsill, the warm pavilion finally became a little brighter, no longer as dark as a person's heart.

The smell of incense and candles also slowly dissipates as the breeze blows in from the windowsill.

Bai Qingting looked at the much brighter Buddhist hall and the furnishings at a glance, and she was suddenly a little discouraged.

It is not a golden casting, or a variety of small furnishings made of nanmu, and there is no jade made of anything, which makes her unable to start for a while.

Could it be that the jade is wrapped in something?

With this question in mind, Bai Qingting knocked and knocked back and forth the large and small furnishings in the Buddhist hall, but still didn't find anything abnormal.

Every corner of the Buddha hall is also clean, not to mention dead things, even the dust is not at all, it is really spotless.

Bai Qingting looked at the only two clusters of light in the Buddhist hall, and the lotus-shaped high table lamp was also made of gold, reflecting the light of the flame that the wick was shining more and more.

Is there something she's overlooking?

Or is she in the wrong place?

Only Concubine Cai Defei can enter the Buddhist hall, but such a spotless Buddhist hall cannot be cleaned by the pampered Concubine Cai Defei.

She still remembers that Concubine Cai's ten fingers, which grabbed her arms tightly and shook them and pinched her arms, were slender and slender, smooth and white, with sharp nails.

Bai Qingting immediately found Si Jingming, who was guarding the door, and asked him to ask who was in charge of cleaning the Buddhist hall.

After a while, Si Jingming took a pretty-looking palace maid to the door of the warm pavilion.

The palace maid said: "Every five days, the maid will let the slave maid come to the Buddha hall to sweep it, and every time the maid is waiting outside the door." After a while, the slave and maid cleaned up, and the mother locked the door again. ”

"When is it time to clean? What did you clean up? Bai Qingting asked.

"Every time I come to clean at the beginning of the hour, when I enter the Buddhist hall, I sprinkle water, sweep the dust, and add some lamp oil, and there are no slaves and maids to do."

The Buddhist hall is not big, the furnishings are simple, and the palace maids are really effortless to clean.

"Did you just clean it today?"

"Exactly, after cleaning, the mother went to the Hanshu Palace, and the slave maid also followed, but the slave and maid were waiting outside the hall at that time and never entered the palace."

"Before cleaning, did you notice anything unusual about the Buddhist hall?"

When asked about this, Bai Qingting was hopeful, although she didn't completely pin her hopes on this palace maid who didn't know anything.

However, things always turn out unexpectedly.

The palace maid shook her head at first, but then thought about it again, and said, "Speaking of which, there are two things that make the slave and maid feel strange......

"One is that the two windowsills in the Buddhist hall are closed all the year round, but today the slave and maid are wide open when they enter, and the slave and maid are closed after cleaning, and they didn't think much about it at the time. The second is that the slaves and maids in the Buddhist hall often clean, and the mother only offers incense, candles and flowers, and there is no food in it, but today, the slaves and maids swept a few dead cockroaches in the Buddhist hall, and there are ......"

The palace maid hesitated.

"What else, say it quickly!" Si Jingming, who was silent on the side, reprimanded.

"There is still a little bit of taro cake...... "At this time, the palace maid also realized that something was wrong.

The palace maid is just an ordinary palace maid in Concubine Cai De's palace, except for her clean hands and feet being favored by Concubine Cai Defei and used to clean the Buddhist hall, she does not have many opportunities to stay by Concubine Cai De's side on weekdays.

Therefore, it was impossible for Bai Qingting to know more about it.

Jun Ziheng said that the princess should have been poisoned at the beginning of dawn, if it was poisoned in this Buddhist hall, then the palace maid was safe and sound when she first entered the Buddhist hall.

This says one thing.

After the palace maid left, Bai Qingting pulled Si Jingming into the warm pavilion, and then closed the door.

Si Jingming was startled and looked at Bai Qingting in shock.

"Since the palace maid has nothing to do when she enters to clean up, then you won't take your life when you come in, help find out which places in this Buddha hall are completely closed!" Bai Qingting explained.

When the palace maids entered the Buddhist hall, the windowsill was wide open, which should have been opened by them to disperse the poisonous gas.

A few dead cockroaches died when the poisonous gas was not exhausted at the beginning, because they crawled into the Buddha hall with their greedy mouths.

When the palace maid entered the Buddhist hall, the poisonous gas had already dissipated.

Si Jingming looked at Bai Qingting's cold and calm face, and listened to her words that she would let him out and let him in for a while, and after he was speechless for a while, he began to try to find it according to what she said.

It is impossible for Concubine Cai Defei and the palace maid to bring food inside, so how did the taro cui cake crumbs appear in the Buddha hall?

The answer is simple, someone brought it into the temple.

But who is it?

Si Jingming remembered Zuo Tian's return, and said to Bai Qingting: "Zuo Tian has found out that there are two palace maids in the Gude Palace who are missing, and they may be related to the taro cui cake crumbs in the Buddha hall. ”

Bai Qingting nodded and didn't say anything else.

The truth gradually emerged.

Now it is certain that the source of the poison is in this Buddhist hall, Princess An Sui must have been here, and the two missing palace maids are the most critical characters!

At this moment, what she urgently must do is to find out the source of the poison and give Jun Ziheng medicine to save Long Mei.

Other things will be talked about after saving Long Mei.
