"No, it's not really, I, I'm just ......" Zhao midwife wanted to explain, but she didn't explain it clearly, and finally simply said bluntly, "Oh, that child was born weak, as if he was affected by drugs in his mother's womb, even if he is well raised, he will definitely not live to be three years old." ”

"Affected by drugs? How so? An Su and Zili glanced at each other, "I heard that Hu Bazi was extra careful during pregnancy, her diet and fetal pills have been checked repeatedly, and nothing will go wrong." ”

"Is it an excuse you made up to get away with it?" Zili slammed Zhao's midwife on the back with his knee.

"No, it's really not, the imperial doctor also saw the body of the little prince at that time, and Hu Bazi begged them to save the little prince back, and the imperial doctors also said that this child can't be raised."

"You're lying! Didn't Hu Bazi die in childbirth? How can you still ask the doctor to save people? ”

"Difficult childbirth is all said to the outside world, Hu Bazi is a smooth birth, although the little prince can't survive, the production is still quite smooth." Mrs. Zhao recalled, "At that time, I disposed of the little prince according to Mrs. Emei's intentions, and I was very panicked, for fear of being discovered by Hu Bazi, so I hurriedly retreated, and the imperial doctors also went out, and in the end, only one palace maid stayed inside, and the palace maid also held a red bracelet in her hand." Now that she thinks about it, she stayed alone with Hu Bazi for a while before coming out. ”

"So, it was two groups of people who harmed Hu Bazi and the little prince?" Zili asked Ansu.

An Su shook his head: "If what this midwife said is true, maybe there are many people involved in Hu Bazi's death." ”

"I'm telling the truth, not a word of adulteration, you're all holding knives against me, can I still lie?" Mrs. Zhao was anxious to show herself, and she danced with her hands, but Zili moved the dagger again, and she quieted down.

"Why do you say that?" Zili continued to ask Ansu.

"The little prince was born weak because of the medicine, which means that there is a problem with the medicine that Hu Bazi drank before her death, but there was nothing wrong with her childbirth, and the person who drugged it must just want to get rid of the little prince, and did not want Hu Bazi's life. And it was Mrs. Emei who arranged for this midwife to kill the little prince, if the medicine was given by her, naturally there was no need to arrange the midwife, since she knew that the little prince could not survive, why use the midwife to put himself in danger. ”

"What you say makes sense, but these people's targets are all little princes, and no one wants the life of Sister Weak Water, why, why is she ......"

"This is going to talk about the palace maid that the midwife said, she and Hu Bazi stayed alone for a while, and then Hu Bazi died, this must not be as simple as a coincidence."

"Yes, there won't be so many coincidences in the world." Zili's eyes overflowed with hatred, "So there are at least three different people who want to harm Sister Shui." ”

"Hu Bazi is the emperor's concubine, and it will definitely not be an ordinary person who will harm her." An Su looked at her seriously, "Zili, do you want to investigate?" ”

"Of course I have to investigate, I came to the palace to avenge my brother. Now that my brother's revenge has not been avenged, and there is one more revenge, then the two will be investigated together, and the revenge will be avenged together. Zili clenched his fists, without a hint of wavering.

"I'll check it for you." Ansu said calmly, "In exchange, you still have to help me get the apprenticeship roster of the Tai Hospital as soon as possible." ”

"I'll help you get the roster, but if you want to check this matter, it must be very dangerous, have you thought about it?" Zili used to feel that there would be no true feelings in the palace, but since he has cooperated with An Su, he has developed some feelings of sympathy.

"It's not a simple matter to get into the hospital to get the roster." An Su raised an eyebrow at her, and Zili understood her choice.

"If we want to get more clues, we must find a way to sneak into the Zengcheng Palace, and the sooner the better." Ansu stood up. The Shenshui Pavilion is remote, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in these weeds, and they are a little uncomfortable after staying for a long time.

"Okay, then we'll go back and figure it out right away."

"It's just, what is she going to do?" An Su pointed to Zhao's wife.

"A person like this who can even do something to a newborn baby is not worthy of being a human being in this life, so I will give her a ride, which is exactly what Mrs. Emei wants, and will not cause trouble for us." After Zili finished saying this, he raised the knife in his hand, and the sharp dagger slashed through the neck of Zhao Wife, and there was a bright red on the purple strangulation marks.

Although Ansu also felt that this midwife deserved to die, she had never seen such a scene so closely, and she couldn't dodge it for a while, and a few drops of blood splashed on her clothes. Fortunately, there are not many splashes, and you can't find them if you don't look closely.

"Zili, you dagger...... It doesn't seem appropriate to just take it and walk out. Ansu reminded.

Zili had already prepared, she pulled out two weeds, wiped the blood off the dagger, and tied it to her thigh. An Su suddenly realized, no wonder she didn't pay attention for a moment, and she changed a dagger out of nowhere.

The two hurried back to the Zengcheng Palace, and there were still a lot of people inside, but they had changed a batch compared to the ones just now. The imperial doctors were no longer useful, so they went back, and Emperor Liu Ying was also called by the Queen Mother, and now the officials in the palace who are in charge of funerals are taking care of it.

An Su and Zili are still standing at the door and watching, there is still no one who has a good way to get in, and it is very late now, if they don't return to the palace maid's office, I am afraid that they will cause trouble. But if you don't go in and investigate, a lot of evidence will be lost.

"Hey! What are you two doing standing there? Come in and help yet. There was a sudden rebuke from inside the Zengcheng Palace, and the two looked over, and a eunuch was pointing at the two of them, "It's crazy inside, you two are still lazy here, hurry up and roll over to our house." ”

An Su and Zili glanced at each other, and immediately ran to the eunuch obediently, both of them deliberately lowered their heads to prevent him from seeing their appearance. The eunuch thought that he regarded them as the palace maids of the Zengcheng Palace, and after arranging work for them, he let them enter Hu Bazi's dormitory.

"This is really a relief for our urgent needs!" Ansu whispered.

Hu Bazi's body is still lying in the dormitory, and it will be a while before it will be sent elsewhere. There are two other palace maids with white curtains hanging in the dormitory, and they should all be people who serve in the Zengcheng Palace.

"Two sisters, leave the matter here to us, you are all tired, go and rest first!"

In the palace, everyone who is a little old is used to being lazy, and the two palace maids saw that An Su took the initiative to take the job, and their hearts were happy, and they handed over the white curtain to them. In this way, there are only two people left in the dormitory, An Su and Zili, and it is more convenient to investigate.

"Ansu, the smell in this dormitory is wrong." As soon as the two palace maids left, Zili frowned, "As soon as I came in just now, I noticed that there was a smell of mandala flowers in the dormitory. ”

"Mandala flowers again?" An Su suddenly remembered the sachet that Mrs. Emei gave to Xu Meiren.

"The smell is very faint, mixed with some blood, if you don't know much about toxicology and medicine, you will never be able to detect it." Zili looked around, "I just don't know where the smell of this mandala flower comes from." ”

An Su also looked around for the source of this smell, but she was not as sensitive as Zili, so she could only look for things like vanilla. The residue of the medicine that Hu Bazi drank has been cleaned out, and it has been a night, even if it is mixed with mandala flowers, it will not smell now, so it will definitely not be in the medicine.

"Zili, come and see, will it have something to do with these?" An Su searched around, only some burned incense ashes remained in the incense burner.

Zili twisted some of the incense ash and smelled it, then nodded firmly: "That's right, the smell of mandala flowers does come from here." ”

"But is this mandala flower a drowsy drug? What is the effect of mixing it in the incense burner of Hu Bazi? ”

"I also told you before that the mandala flower is toxic, although the toxicity is mild, but if you use it all the time, it can not only disturb people's minds, but also affect the development of the fetus." Zili wrapped some incense ashes in a handkerchief and collected it, and restored the incense burner to its original state.

There are no elaborate decorations in Hu Bazi's dormitory, and it is very easy to investigate, and it does not take long. After the two of them finished looking, they hung up the white curtains again, and then planned to sneak out of the Zengcheng Hall and go back to the palace maid.

It's just that Zili arrived at the door, and finally reluctantly glanced back, but returned to Hu Bazi's body, gritted his teeth and lifted the layer of white cloth.

Hu Wanshui's face is still the same as before, but the days in the palace have plated her face with a layer of melancholy. Zili once heard that the emperor just liked her melancholy demeanor, but he didn't know what kind of thoughts and pain caused this demeanor was caused.

After taking one last look at her, Zili was about to re-cover the white cloth, but suddenly caught a glimpse of what she was holding in her hand. It was a bracelet made of carnelian, and it was also carved with a pattern of evening primrose, and Zili remembered that it was given to his brother by weak water. It's just that this bracelet, the day before her brother's death, she saw him close to him.

"Ansu, do you remember what the midwife said, what are the characteristics of the palace maid who stayed with Sister Weak Water in the end?"

"The midwife didn't seem to say too many details, only mentioned that the palace maid had a red bracelet in her hand." An Su recalled carefully, and looked at the thing Hu Bazi was dragging in his hand, "Could it be that this is what she is holding?" ”

"It must be, this is given to my brother by Sister Weak Water, and it has always been in my brother's hands before."

"How could your brother's bracelet end up in the hands of a palace maid?" An Su thought about it, and a suspicion suddenly popped up in her mind, "Hu Bazi didn't know that your brother had passed away before, could it be that someone deliberately found this bracelet and informed Hu Bazi of your brother's death when the time came, so that she could accept the double blow of losing her son and the love in her heart at once, so as to force her to death?" ”
