After Zhang Huaiyi saw the true identity of the man in black, he hurriedly put away his sword and complained:

"What are you going to do dressed up like this, if I accidentally hurt you."

"Don't worry, you can't hurt me if you're careful."

Zhang Huaiyi: "......"

"There's definitely something wrong with that food box, absolutely! Even if it's too late, I have to figure it out, or I won't want to eat and sleep well in the future. ”

"You want to visit the Ministry at night?" Zhang Huaiyi didn't expect Bai Jingyin to have this kind of thought, "Even the Ministry of Rites is not so easy to break into, if you want to go, you can, I'll be with you." ”

"Where are you going?" Bai Jingyin glanced at him, "Let's look for your night, master, I'm leaving, don't send it." ”

After saying this, Bai Jingyin flew away one by one and disappeared from the wall.

Zhang Huaiyi looked at the dark night and could only worry about himself, the emperor ordered him to restrain the absurd trip of the concubine no matter what, so should tonight's incident be counted.

sighed,

Suddenly, I felt very difficult.

Bai Jingyin lay on the eaves of the Ministry of Rites and stayed motionless for a while. When I figured out the rules of the guards' patrol shifts, I also had a lot of bottom in my heart. flew down and slipped all the way down the corner into the mansion.

Listening to Zhang Huaiyi, recently, the Ministry of Rites is only responsible for providing meals for the Gongyuan, and even the dishes, spoons and chopsticks are specially fired by the official kiln.

Nowadays, the utensils and boxes should still be in the dining room.

I don't know how many turns she turned, and she almost bumped into the patrol guard a few times, but with her little luck, she really found the right place.

Looking at the two big words "dining room", I am very satisfied.

The door was locked, and the window was inserted inside, airtight.

But with Bai Jingyin's experience in the imperial dining room of the palace these days, where there is food for everything, there are those animals that want to steal their mouths to eat.

After walking around the dining room, I finally found a dog hole half-blocked with stones behind the weeds.

Bai Jingyin didn't dislike it, and immediately climbed down and drilled into the dog hole, the process of drilling the hole still took a lot of effort, inhaling and tightening the abdomen, so he barely squeezed in.

"Whew." She touched her waist, "Staying in the palace and only eating without moving, it really affects the performance, it seems that I have to lose weight." ”

Bai Jingyin thought so, and then looked around, and found the mahogany food box sent to the Gongyuan, there were many plates next to the food box, looking at the patterns, which were the ones they used every day.

She picked each one up and looked at it in her hand, touched it with her hand, tapped it again, sniffed it, but she never found anything, just some very ordinary tableware.

checked one by one, and when she arrived at the porcelain bowl containing soup porridge, she found that there was a problem with the quantity.

"No, for the sake of the three examiners, why are there only two stacked in this dining room, where did the missing one go?"

Just when Bai Jingyin was about to pick up the porcelain bowl,

Suddenly she heard a noise in the corner of the dining room, she was startled, and immediately turned vigilantly: "Who is there?" ”

The only answer to her was silence.

Bai Jingyin held his breath and touched it

The short blade at his waist slowly paced into the dark corner. Lift the straw curtain with your feet,

"Meow—"

A black shadow flew by, slipping out of the dog hole that Bai Jingyin had just drilled into.

What, it's a black cat.

Bai Jingyin breathed a sigh of relief,

As for the sound that came from Fang just now, it was made by the black cat accidentally knocking over a bag of things when he was stealing food.

Bai Jingyin only glanced at it cursoly, and his eyes were attracted by the small bag of powder scattered on the ground. This bag is so small, what can it hold, and then look at the color, although at first glance it looks like flour, but on closer inspection, it is much whiter than flour.

Gently lift that hand up a little,

His eyes jumped, and suddenly he understood everything.

On the first day of the examination, Yuan Rui left the Ministry of Rites in the morning to inquire about the scientific examination, and only let him retire after learning that there were no omissions. As soon as he left the Qinzheng Palace after retreating, he saw the little Guizi Marquis of Qionghua Palace there,

Seeing him come out,

stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully:

"The slave Xiao Guizi knocked on the emperor, and our mother said that she also asked the emperor to go to Qionghua Palace after the court, she had something important to discuss with the emperor."

"I see."

Yuan Ruiming changed out of his court clothes, and even went to the Taihe Palace to ask the Queen Mother to be exempted from the morning and dusk, and hurried to Qionghua Palace.

Looking at Bai Jingyin, who was dressed in palace clothes, he asked:

"I will only try the first day, why did I return to the palace so quickly." He thought that according to Bai Jingyin's temperament, it would be impossible to come back early.

"Chengying, you step back first."

"Yes." Chengying poured the tea and blessed his body, closed the door when he left, and guarded the door by himself to prevent the partition wall from having ears.

There were only the two of them left in the hall, so Bai Jingyin took out the two bags of things she had hidden in the inner hall, opened them and put them in front of Yuan Ruiming.

"It's not that I want to come back early, but there's no point in staying any longer." She sat opposite Yuan Ruiming, her face solemn. "Guess what it is."

Yuan Ruiming took some powder with his fingers and observed it on his hand, but found that the powder gradually melted on the back of his hand, leaving a color that could not be erased.

"Is this paint?"

"It's not just just a normal paint." Bai Jingyin mixed the powder with water, stirred it into a milk-like color, and then took a vase with a blue pattern on a white background, and applied the paint to a small piece of pattern.

"This—" Yuan Ruiming's eyes sank.

"And that's not all." Bai Jingyin dipped his hand in some water again, and gently rubbed the piece of paint that occupied it, and after a while, the original cyan pattern appeared.

On that day, the member of the Ministry of Rites only said that for the examiners' hard work for ten days, a special dish of milk and bird's nest porridge was added, and the bowl of white liquid was this kind of paint. Commander Zhang and I couldn't have imagined that it wasn't milk at all, and it was really hateful to let him get through the trick under our noses. ”

"So you think that the Lin family used this method to get from the Gong Courtyard to the exam questions."

"Not that I think, it's absolutely. That night, I went to the Lin Mansion again and saw the lights all night

Doesn't go out. This Lin Zheng is a frequent visitor to the drunken Huayin, and he is still nostalgic for the night stay a few days before the trial, but he didn't go anywhere at home yesterday. I guess I got the exam questions and answers and memorized them all night. ”

Bai Jingyin said as he unfolded another, smaller bag, which contained a mixture of powder and small pieces. Yuan Ruiming picked out some small pieces, and the ink could be vaguely seen.

"I squatted all night, and after Lin Zheng set off to catch the exam, a sneaky little guy slipped out of the corner gate, and buried this thing in the back alley, thinking that it was the 'evidence' that disappeared." Bai Jingyin sighed. "It can only be ground into this way, and there is no way to prove anything."
