After coming out of Yaoguang Pavilion, Ling Xi was very worried, Xue Duyan was so sad that he couldn't get out of bed, but Xiang Zimo died of murder, and suddenly Ling Xi had a lot of thoughts. Before she knew it, she walked to the Imperial Garden and wandered around for a while. Suddenly, Ling Xi stopped, she turned to look behind her, and she didn't see Aunt Yan's figure, as if after leaving the Yaoguang Pavilion, Aunt Yan disappeared, and Ling Xi's heart became even more suspicious.

It seems that everything has been said by Aunt Yan, and Xiang Zimo's death is really not that simple, but what she didn't expect was that the person who was finally found to have murdered Xiang Zimo was actually Zhao Xinyue. Xue Duyan has a weak temperament, and he doesn't move around much with harem women, why did Zhao Xinyue, who has no children and no favor, do anything to Xiang Zimo?

Suddenly, a drop of rain rolled down from the leaves on the side, which happened to drop between Ling Xi's eyebrows. Ling Xi's brows furrowed slightly, she picked up the silk handkerchief and gently wiped away the untimely raindrops on her forehead, the cold rain was even colder to the bone marrow after a night of cold erosion, I don't know when, Aunt Yan had quietly come to Ling Xi's side. Aunt Yan handed the clean silk handkerchief in her hand to Ling Xi's eyes, Ling Xi took the silk handkerchief and asked thoughtfully, "Aunt Yan, what do you say Xue Meiren knows?" ”

Aunt Yan looked at the people behind her and whispered: "Queen Mother, the autumn rain was rushing last night, I'm afraid there is still some autumn cold outside, so it's better to go back to the palace." ”

Aunt Yan's other words made Ling Xi even more puzzled, Ling Xi glanced at the large group of palace people behind her, and seemed to understand something, she said loudly: "You all go back to Qingfeng Garden, this palace wants to walk in the imperial garden, Aunt Yan just stay and serve." ”

As soon as the palace people heard Ling Xi's words, they all retreated, Ling Xi began to walk leisurely in the imperial garden, Aunt Yan followed closely, and suddenly Ling Xi asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Aunt Yan unhurriedly took out a packet of powder from her arms, she gently opened the paper packet, walked slightly in front of Ling Xi, and said: "The slave maid took advantage of the inattention of others to take some of the poison that Mrs. Zhao poisoned the five princes. ”

Suddenly, Ling Xi stopped, and she became even more suspicious, what else could she say? Could it be that poison is not poison? Is there another hidden reason for Xiang Zimo's death?

"Didn't the fifth prince die under this bag of poison?" As he spoke, Ling Xi raised his hand and pointed to the packet of poison in Aunt Yan's hand.

Aunt Yan wrapped up the poison on her hand again, for fear that the cold wind in late autumn would blow away the thing in her hand, she whispered: "The slave maid has shown this poison to the imperial doctors of the four hospitals, and it is basically the same as what Imperial Doctor Chen said, but there is only one thing that they said is the opposite of what Imperial Doctor Chen said. ”

"What?"

"Imperial Physician Chen said that the five princes were poisoned by Mrs. Zhao in a trace amount, and finally died of chronic poisoning. However, other imperial doctors said that this poison is not fatal, and over time, it only makes people weak, especially like children, and they will suddenly die of other diseases. And as long as the dose is accurate, even if the silver needle enters the bone, no signs of poisoning can be detected, but only a large amount of poison in a short period of time will detect the signs of poisoning. Aunt Yan said.

Ling Xi was stunned, that is to say, the five princes were poisoned by someone in a hurry, and the person who poisoned him didn't mind being found out at all, or the person who poisoned him wanted to be known that the five princes were poisoned and died. Zhao Xinyue can't be the murderer, otherwise she wants to commit suicide and can't find a knife to wipe her neck, or does she feel that killing her is not fun, so she has to be charged with murdering the prince and pulling the whole clan to bury her?

Ling Xi looked at Aunt Yan, she knew that Aunt Yan would never say anything in front of her without evidence, Aunt Yan told her at this time that Zhao Xinyue might have been wronged, so Aunt Yan must have found something.

"What else did you find?"

"Recently, the slave maid heard two interesting things, it is said that after Mrs. Zhao was imprisoned by His Majesty in the Yingyue Pavilion a few days ago, all the palace people in the Yingyue Pavilion were transferred back to Yongxiang and waited for the Shanggong Bureau to reassign. But yesterday, the Shang Palace Bureau suddenly released a group of palace people out of the palace, saying that Princess Xiyue was unwell some time ago, and Concubine De made a wish, if the princess recovers health, a group of palace people will be released to collect blessings for the princess, and His Majesty is gracious to this matter. Among them, there is a palace person named Tao'er, this Tao'er was Mrs. Zhao's personal maid, Niangniang, don't you think it's too coincidental? ”

As she spoke, another drop of rain fell on the back of Ling Xi's hand, and a cold flew into Ling Xi's body, swimming in her not too hot blood, Ling Xi couldn't help but shiver, she thought that this rain didn't know how long it had been, and she hadn't come out and walk around for too long, so that she didn't know how many unknown things had happened in the harem.

"Send someone out of the palace to find the palace man named Tao'er."

"Niangniang, it's late, I heard that after those palace people left the palace yesterday evening, they lived in an inn in Yicheng, and the inn caught fire last night, and those palace people were burned to death." Aunt Yan said regretfully.

Ling Xi was taken aback, no matter how she looked at this peach, it seemed that she had been killed, even if she could guess that this matter was related to Xiao Xiangxiang, there was no proof of death, and it was useless.

"Aunt Yan, what did you say about the second thing?" Ling Xi asked.

Aunt Yan was close to Ling Xi, and just wanted to say something, not far away came the call of the palace people, Ling Xi looked into the distance, only to see Xiang Yiyi running in the direction of Xiyan Palace like a gust of wind, the nurse was left far behind by her, and the nurse kept calling Xiang Yiyi, as if she wanted to prevent Xiang Yiyi from going to Xiyan Palace.

"Yiyi." Ling Xi unconsciously called out to Xiang Yiyi.

Xiang Yiyi heard Ling Xi's voice, she stopped running, turned to look at Ling Xi, and plunged into Ling Xi's arms, and instantly her fair little face burst into tears.

Xiang Yiyi cried more and more sad in Ling Xi's arms, and she begged silently: "Queen Mother, please, take Yiyi to see her mother, Yiyi hasn't seen her mother for a long time." ”

Ling Xi was stunned, although Xiang Hongxuan asked the nurse to take Yiyi, but Feng Yingying still had no problem wanting to see Xiang Yiyi, how could it be very difficult for a mother and daughter to meet each other in Xiang Yiyi's mouth?

It just so happened that the nurse also came to Ling Xi's side, she saluted Ling Xi, and Ling Xi asked unhappily: "How did you take care of the princess of the southern kingdom, you dare to restrict the princess's freedom and make the princess so sad, you are so bold." ”

As soon as the nurse heard Ling Xi's words, the three souls frightened off the seven spirits, she quickly knelt on the ground, and replied tremblingly: "Queen Mother, how dare the slave maid, it was some time ago, after the princess of the southern kingdom came back from the Xiyan Palace, she was infected with the wind and cold, and she was sick for a few days, and her majesty was furious, saying that she would not let the princess go to the Xiyan Palace, for fear that the princess would be infected with the illness of the concubine, so the slave did not dare to let the princess of the southern kingdom go to the Xiyan Palace." ”

Is it the meaning of Xiang Hongxuan? Ling Xi remembered that a few days ago in Xiyan Palace, he saw Feng Yingying's somewhat demented appearance, in addition to the pain of losing his son, I am afraid that Xiang Hongxuan was so ruthless and pierced Feng Yingying's heart full of holes, and if there was no more Xiang Yiyi, how desperate Feng Yingying should be.

Suddenly, Xiang Yiyi in her arms grabbed the corner of Ling Xi's clothes, and begged again: "The queen mother asked Yiyi to go and see the concubine, when I went to Xiyan Palace that time, the concubine was very bad, as if she had been sick for a long time." ”

Ling Xi looked at Xiang Yiyi with tears on her face distressed, she really wanted to agree to Xiang Yiyi's request, but this was Xiang Hongxuan's order, who would dare to disobey it?

"Yiyi is obedient, go back with the nurse first, and after a while, when Concubine Shu is better, the queen mother will intercede with Your Majesty and let you go to Xiyan Palace." Ling Xi patiently persuaded Xiang Yiyi.

Xiang Yiyi looked in the direction of Xiyan Palace, she was very reluctant, but she knew that Ling Xi couldn't take her to see Feng Yingying, the nurse also stepped forward to take Xiang Yiyi's little hand, she looked at Ling Xi again, and reluctantly followed the nurse out of the imperial garden.

Ling Xi lowered her head and sighed, what she said to Xiang Yiyi just now, can it come true? She was a little unsure, one day Xiang Yiyi would think that Ling Xi was coaxing her?

Ling Xi turned to look at Aunt Yan, remembering what Aunt Yan hadn't finished saying just now, she asked, "What exactly is the second thing?" ”

Aunt Yan immediately approached Ling Xi's side and whispered, "The second thing is about Concubine Shu. ”

Saying that, Aunt Yan mysteriously took out a long silver needle from her arms, one end of the silver needle was blackened, and she said: "Concubine Shu's body is getting weaker and weaker, it seems to be a bit like the five princes, the slave maid is a little confused, so she asked Imperial Doctor Liu to prescribe some calming decoction, and after giving it to Concubine Shu, Imperial Physician Liu also used a silver needle to test the poison, and this silver needle was pulled out of Concubine Shu's body." ”

"What is Doctor Liu's conclusion?"

"Concubine Shuniang and the five princes are the same kind of poison, but the amount of poisoning of Shufei Niangniang is not as much as that of the five princes, but the time of poisoning is not short, and it may even take a year or two, so the silver needle can try out the star poison."

Not short? Suddenly, Ling Xi was shocked, if Feng Yingying could be poisoned for a year or two? What about Xiang Minghao? and Xiang Minghao's death, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Ling Xi thought of Xiang Zimo's sudden poisoning and death, all of this must be related.

"Auntie, do you think it's possible for the second prince to .........?"

"Queen Mother, there is nowhere to check, and all the food and drink in Xiyan Palace at that time were sent from Qingfeng Yuan, if there is really another hidden meaning in this matter, Niangniang, you can't speak."

Aunt Yan's words made Ling Xi's heart even heavier, no matter what the truth of Xiang Minghao's death was? She couldn't even ask, because she wanted to protect herself, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to say clearly, and because it would make her and Xiang Hongxuan even deeper.

"Aunt Yan, the things sent to Xiyan Palace are all carefully inspected in Qingfeng Garden, there can be no problem." Ling Xi asked puzzled, although she knew that she shouldn't ask, but she just wanted to know the truth, under the eyelids of her and Xiang Hongxuan, how did she do it, it was terrifying.

Aunt Yan lowered her head, she was silent for a while, and said heavily: "Niangniang, I'm afraid there are ghosts in Qingfeng Garden." ”
