"It's a long story, and I'm afraid it's not a good time." Deng Tong was a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll just ask, can I still trust you?" An Su stared straight into Deng Tong's eyes, leaving his gaze with nowhere to hide.

"Miss Ansu, you can trust the slave, and the slave assures you that as long as the slave says it to you, it must be true."

"That's fine." An Su knew what he meant, and what he said was true, that is, if there was something he wanted to hide from her, he wouldn't mention a word. In this way, a person like Deng Tong who acts secretively must have many mysteries in him, and if he wants to lie, he will never be able to figure out the truth.

"If the girl wants to lift the grounding of Huanning Palace, the slave has a plan to use." Deng Tong brought up the matter in due course.

"Do you have a way?" Ansu hurriedly asked.

Deng Tong nodded: "This method is somewhat similar to what the girl just thought, and it can be regarded as a bell to untie the bell." ”

"According to what you said, isn't this bell man gone?"

"Burning Feather is indeed gone, but isn't there still a famous scholar in this palace?" Deng Tong reminded, "Although the Queen Mother believes in the words of the stargazer, he is just a small family from Wu Guolai, how can he compare to a world-famous scholar like Gu Xiangshi?" If Gu Xiangshi came out to solve this dilemma, the girl thought that the Queen Mother would believe which side? ”

"Having said that, Gu Xiangshi has always been cautious about the matter of hexagrams, and I am afraid that he will not easily help me lie to lift the ban." Ansu muttered.

"It's up to Miss Ansu's skills." Deng Tong said lightly, "I heard that the girl has a good relationship with that Gu Xiangshi? ”

"No matter how affectionate he is, lying on the hexagram is a contempt for the mandate of heaven, and he will definitely not agree, and I don't really want to force him to help me tell this lie."

Deng Tong sighed exaggeratedly: "Miss Ansu thinks about him so much, but there is a sour feeling in the slave's heart. ”

"Alright, you can go back quickly! Your current identity is Shen Zhengqing, the acting envoy of the country, and this identity does not allow you to wander around the harem. ”

"Miss Ansu, is this concerned about the slave?" Deng Tong looked up in surprise.

An Su was used to his way of speaking, and waved his hand in a chic manner: "You hurry back and rest, I'll go first." ”

After separating from Deng Tong, An Su still went to the Changting Palace, although he didn't want Gu Wenzhou to lie about the hexagram, but on this basis, it might be feasible to think of some other methods.

The Changting Hall is remote, and it takes a long way to pass from the Huanning Palace, among which there is the Zengcheng Hall that is still idle now. Since Hu Bazi's death, few people have come here, except for the cleaning once a month, the gate has always been locked. The palace maids and eunuchs who originally served Hu Bazi were also divided into other places, and there were no more people living here for a long time, so it became more and more desolate.

When Ansu passed by this place, she felt a gust of wind, and she wrapped her clothes tightly and walked through here quickly. But as soon as he turned a corner, he found a person climbing on the palace wall, which was especially similar to when he came out of the wall in Huanning Palace, and An Su tiptoed over there.

"Zili?" After the man stepped on his feet, An Su tentatively called out.

The figure of the person climbing on the palace wall was stunned for a moment, and after turning his head to look at it, he slowly slid down against the wall. An Su is right, this person is really Zili.

"Ansu, why are you here? Isn't Huanning Hall grounded? "The son is incomprehensible.

Ansu looked around and found a secluded and hidden place with her before he began to talk seriously.

"Huanning Hall was grounded, and those minions who praised the high and stepped on the low deducted the food and clothing in the hall, and Xu Meiren always didn't eat well. I really couldn't bear it, so I climbed over the wall and came out to find someone to find a way to see if I could get rid of this grounding in advance. After Ansu finished explaining, he asked, "Zili, why are you here in the middle of the night?" ”

"I took advantage of the convenience of being on an errand in the Tai Hospital, and checked the record of the fetal pill that I drank for Sister Weak Water before, and I couldn't see anything wrong from it. But too much time has passed, and the residue used at that time is gone, and there is no way to verify it. Zili looked at the palace wall of the Zengcheng Hall and sighed, "I can only try my luck here again, maybe I can find some clues." ”

"It's been so long, and there will be palace people coming to clean the palace every month, if there is really any evidence left, I'm afraid it will be worn out now." Ansu told the truth.

"I also thought about this layer, but I didn't do anything, and I always didn't want to go. And the longer the time passes, the harder it is to find out the truth. ”

Listening to her, An Su suddenly remembered what she had asked Suo Hua in Yongxiang. When I first arrived at Huanning Palace, many things were waiting to be done, and I forgot about it for a while. Now that he happened to meet Zili, An Su relayed all Suo Hua's words to her.

"So, the emperor actually wants to fulfill my brother and Sister Weak Water?"

"I think the same way, but why did Hu Bazi's carriage have already arrived outside the palace and been sent back again?"

Zili thought about it carefully, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Before my brother was killed, it seemed that he received a letter from the palace. I don't know what was written in it, but judging from my brother's excited look, it must have been sent to him by Sister Weak Water, or someone sent it to him in the name of Sister Weak Water. ”

"In the name of Hu Bazi...... Could it be the emperor? An Su suddenly realized, "The emperor is kind by nature, and he accidentally knew that Hu Bazi was forced to come to the palace to serve, so he wanted to fulfill her and your brother." But for some reason, the emperor didn't want Hu Bazi to know about it, so he sent a letter to your brother in her name, and agreed to let your brother pick up Hu Bazi's carriage outside the palace. It's just that Hu Bazi was already pregnant at that time, and if she wanted to be with your brother, she had to abort the child, so the emperor wanted to borrow the queen's hand to send the fetal slippery medicine. ”

Listening to An Su's analysis, Zili also nodded in agreement, and then sighed deeply: "It's a pity that the emperor's plan failed, if it weren't for that, maybe Sister Weak Water and my brother would be together." ”

"The main reason for the failure of the emperor's plan is the death of your brother and the return of Hu Bazi's carriage to the palace. If these two points can be clarified, it may be helpful to investigate and deal with who harmed Hu Bazi. ”

"I already know who did both of these things." Zili said hatefully, "Sister Weak Water entered the palace by the Hu family, and it was in order to consolidate their family's position in the court that Sister Weak Water and my brother, the two lovers, were separated for life. The Hu family must have planted eyeliner next to Sister Weak Water and knew the whole plan, so before the emperor sent Sister Weak Water out of the palace, he sent someone to kill my brother, and then stopped Sister Weak Water on the way to the carriage to leave the palace, and sent her back to the palace when she was pregnant. At that time, Sister Weak Water was pregnant, if the child was born, it would be able to consolidate the status of the Hu family even more, and they would definitely not let go of this opportunity. ”

Zili said that in the end, he was already gritting his teeth. Ansu quickly patted her on the back to help her ease her emotions.

"Zili, there are too many people involved in this matter, and the involvement is too wide, your brother's death has been investigated, but Hu Bazi's death is still confusing. The clues we found last time, and then contacted what Mrs. Zhao said, it seems that the Queen Mother, the Queen, and Mrs. Emei are all involved, and we have to take our time to find the real culprit. ”

"I understand this, but I live in this world, and my only thought is to find out the real culprit and avenge their pair of hard-working mandarin ducks." Zili buried her face in her knees, and Ansu continued to pat her back.

"I know, I'll help you, I'll help you." Ansu understood what it was like for her only loved one to be away from her.

After a while, Zili suddenly raised his head suddenly, grabbed An Su's clothes and sniffed them carefully, startling An Su.

"Zili, what's wrong with you?"

"Ansu, the smell on your body ......" Zili stared at Ansu with strange eyes, "...... There is a problem. ”

She seemed to be brewing, and she didn't know what words to use to describe it, so she held it for a long time before she came out with a sentence "there is a problem". An Su felt inexplicable, she couldn't smell anything on her body.

"Ansu, where did you get the incense?" Zili smelled that it was the smell of incense.

An Su thought about it, she had been confined to Huanning Hall these days, and she hadn't been to other places for a while, so this smell was naturally brought out from Huanning Palace.

"It should be the incense lit by Huanning Palace, I have been in Huanning Hall for a long time, and I also have this smell on my body."

"Huanning Palace? Huanning Hall is the residence of Xu Meiren, how can he light such incense? Zili said in surprise, "Ansu, do you know that there is an extremely strong musk in this fragrance. ”

"Musk?" An Su's brows twitched, "Musk is a spice that can keep a woman from getting pregnant?" ”

"Yes, that's why I think the smell is so strange. Generally speaking, the ladies of the palace will not use these spices much. ”

"Xu Meiren doesn't like to be picky about spices on weekdays, what kind of spices are always used, and the people below are responsible for lighting them." An Su recalled carefully, "It seems that the ones I have been using all the time are still the ones that the Queen Mother rewarded before." ”

"Queen Mother!" Ansu was taken aback.

When she was on an errand in Changle Palace, the Queen Mother once asked her to distribute some spices to the ladies of the palace, saying that the Queen Mother specially rewarded her. At that time, she was still puzzled, why did the Queen Mother send some spices to the palaces, and everyone had a share, but now she understands. The queen mother wanted the queen to give birth to her eldest son, and she definitely didn't want the other concubines to be pregnant, so she used this method to hurt the concubines' bodies, and it was a hundred. With the majesty of the Queen Mother, as long as the Imperial Hospital is informed, even if the Imperial Doctor finds out, he will not dare to reveal it to the concubines.

"The Queen Mother's mind is really unfathomable."

"An Su, this matter is related to the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it's not so easy to handle. I'm just reminding you that it's up to you to decide whether or not to tell Xu Meiren. After Zili finished speaking, he sighed again, "The queen mother's shot is also vicious, this incense is lit in various palaces, even the palace maids who serve in the palace can't escape the fate of having no children and no daughters in their lives." ”

"I know what to do, Zili, thank you for telling me about this."
