Walking to the gate of the Tai Hospital, the two guards guarding the door were unseen before, and they thought they were on duty in turn. An Su made preparations in advance and took Xu Meiren's token, so that he could enter and exit the hospital smoothly.

The last time there was such a fuss, the people in the Tai Hospital had some impressions of An Su, and this time she came over, they were all a little vigilant. An Su laughed dumbly, how could she be a little palace maid to make these old ladies who had been in the palace for a long time so nervous. But no matter what others think, she only remembers what she has to do.

Zili was an apprentice brought by Imperial Physician Sun Mao, and after a little inquiry, An Su learned that she would dry medicinal herbs in the backyard at this time of the day. The hospital is heavily guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed to come in at will, but once they walk in with a token, no one will stop them. If you don't break into some especially secret places, no one will stop you. In this way, Ansu went to the backyard smoothly.

Although Zili is a little more lively here, most of the time he is still the same as in the palace maid's house, staying alone silently. But here, she was not in a daze aimlessly, but sorting out those complicated medicinal herbs.

"Zili—" As soon as An Su entered the door, she began to call her name from afar.

"Ansu? Are you back in the palace? Zili listened to this voice, and after being stunned for a moment, he turned around in hindsight, and the moment he saw Ansu, a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face, "Come here!" ”

Zili didn't even care about the medicinal materials in his hand, put them aside casually, and pulled An Su to the quiet room next to him to talk. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Ansu had left the palace in a hurry, and he hadn't had time to say goodbye to them in person, so he still had some regrets, but now that he was fortunate enough to return to the palace, he could be regarded as making up for this regret.

"An Su, I heard that you were sent to the Princess's Mansion by Duke Lu Yuan, how are you doing outside? How did you come back? Zili couldn't hide his joy, so he simply pulled An Su and asked non-stop.

An Su was also very happy to see her, so she briefly told her about her experience these days, which caused her to sigh. When he heard that An Su had suffered in Yongxiang, Zili couldn't help but clench his fists, but he knew that she had now arrived in Huanning Palace, so he was finally relieved.

"So you came to me this time for Xu Meiren's poisoning?"

An Su nodded: "Yes, I heard that on the day Xu Meiren was poisoned, all the imperial doctors were summoned to the Jiaofang Palace, which is a rare thing in the entire palace." I have never heard of any incurable diseases that the queen mother suffers from, how can she need so many imperial doctors to go there together? ”

"It's not a stubborn disease, that day it was the queen mother who asked the imperial doctors to go to the Jiaofang Palace and report all the medical records in the past six months to her." Zili also seemed to feel strange, "It stands to reason that you only need to summon a few imperial doctors who are responsible for the record, but the queen mother summoned all the imperial doctors, along with us apprentices. ”

"Doesn't anyone of you raise objections?" An Su was puzzled.

Zili shook his head: "It is also because of the recent change in the queen's temperament, it seems that she intends to rectify the harem, and everything must be thoroughly investigated, so we all think that the queen is rigorous." There are already many palace people in the palace, who have been severely punished for some wrong things they have done, how can anyone dare to disobey the queen's will? ”

"So, you saw the queen at the time?" An Su thought for a moment, "We also saw the queen when we were in the palace maid's house in the past, do you see her any different from that time?" ”

"I went to Jiaofang Hall that day, and I didn't see the queen mother directly." Zili recalled, "It's not just me, all the imperial doctors haven't been able to see the queen mother directly. ”

"What does that mean?" An Suhu wondered, "Didn't the queen summon you to report the medical records?" If you didn't see the queen, how did you report it? ”

"At that time, we had just arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, and the palace maid Lixin, who was beside the queen, said that the queen was a little tired, so take a break in the dormitory, and let us kneel outside the palace and report loudly." Zili closed his eyes and recalled carefully, "The door of the dormitory is open, and the queen seems to be sitting on the bed, and there is a layer of gauze curtains next to the bed, and I can't see it clearly." I could only vaguely glimpse a figure, wearing a phoenix robe with a phoenix crown, but ...... Something strange. ”

"What's weird?" Ansu asked with bated breath.

"What do you think, how can there be people who are resting still dressed so ceremoniously, as if they deliberately let everyone know that the person inside is the queen." Zili lowered his voice, "And I always feel that the person in that curtain seems to be thinner than the queen mother." ”

"Do you suspect that the person behind the curtain is not the queen's mother?"

Zili frowned and shook his head: "It's not a doubt, the affairs of the masters, which are easy for us to guess as slaves, it's just that it feels a little strange." ”

"By the way, you just said that the one who led you into the Jiaofang Hall was the big palace maid Lixin next to the queen's mother?"

"That's right, she once went to the palace maid's house with the queen's mother, I'm sure I won't admit my mistake." Zili tilted her head to look at Ansu, and she didn't know why she suddenly asked.

"It's weird, I heard that the queen mother promoted a palace maid sent to the Jiaofang Palace by the Queen Mother, and asked her to be the head of the Jiaofang Palace with Li Xin. But the same position also pays attention to first-come, first-served, even if they are all palace maids, Lixin's seniority is also higher, it should be Lixin who is serving by the queen's side, and the work of going out to pick up people will not fall on her head! ”

"I also know this, you're talking about Fu Ping, right?" Zili whispered, "I heard that Fu Ping is very capable at a young age, and the queen mother is rectifying the six palaces, and she is by her side to assist in most things!" But what you said does make sense, it stands to reason that Lixin is more qualified, and she should stay with the queen to serve! ”

"You went to the Jiaofang Hall at that time, did you see where Fu Ping was?"

"When you say that, I remember." Zili suddenly realized, "When we knelt at the gate of the palace, the queen mother stayed alone in the dormitory, and there was no one around to serve her. ”

"Fu Ping isn't there either?"

Zili shook his head: "No, it seems that Fu Ping is not in the palace at all, maybe she was sent out by the queen to do something!" ”

"Don't talk about this yet, Zili, I have one more thing to ask you to help with." Ansu took out the handkerchief in her arms, and there was still a small half of poisonous chestnut cake wrapped in it.

"You brought me pastries? I'll taste it. Zili reached out to take it, and An Su quickly avoided it, for fear that she would eat it by mistake.

"This is not an edible pastry! This is the poison that caused Xu Meiren's poisoning! An Su explained clearly, and then handed the pastry to Zili again, "If you want to eat snacks, I'll bring you some next time, you must not touch it." ”

"You said you asked me for help, do you want to know what kind of poison is in your heart?"

"That's not it, I've already tested the poison in it with Gu Xiangshi. I just thought that there were several doctors in your Tai Hospital who had tested the dim sum that Xu Meiren had eaten that day, and they all said that they were non-toxic, so I wanted to compare these with those on file in Tai Hospital to see if someone had secretly replaced the poisonous dim sum. ”

"Ansu, you've been very close to Gu Xiangshi recently!" Zili smiled very thiefly, "I heard that you were taken back to the princess's mansion by Princess Lu Yuan, and after he learned the news, he chased him out of the palace as soon as possible, do you still have a story outside the palace?" ”

An Su's smile couldn't help but jump on his face, but he denied it: "No, I'll stay in the princess's mansion all day!" How can I have time to meet Gu Xiangshi. ”

"And say no, your face is red." Zili hooked Ansu's nose.

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, there's still business to do!" Ansu rubbed her face, trying to cover up the unusual temperature.

Zili shrugged and returned to seriousness, she was the apprentice of Imperial Physician Sun Mao, and Imperial Physician Sun Mao was highly respected in the Imperial Hospital, and Zili did things much more smoothly. Those things that might be used as evidence were stored in a small room in the Tai Hospital, and Zi Li took advantage of the lunch time for the Tai Doctors to quietly take the key and take An Su in.

It was dark in the room, but Zili was quite familiar, and after fumbling for a while, he took a small piece of the pastry that was used as evidence, and quietly put it back in its place.

"How?" An Su asked anxiously.

Zili sniffed the two seemingly identical pastries carefully, and really frowned: "It's really the same as you said, it is indeed non-toxic when stored in our hospital, but these you took are poisonous, if I tested it correctly, this poison should be blood coagulation." ”

"Yes, Wen Zhou said the same thing, now it is certain that someone has secretly changed the evidence and wants to let this matter go away."

"Ansu, you're exposed!" Zi Li smiled evilly, "It's all called by his name, and you still say it's nothing?" ”

"Huh? What the? An Su was stunned for a moment before he reacted, he didn't notice it for a while, and directly called out Gu Wenzhou's name.

In order to hide her embarrassment, An Su could only cough lightly twice and avoid the topic: "Zili, I've been out for a while, it's really time to go back, if Xu Ji Niangniang can't find me, it's not good." ”

"Hey, Ansu! Don't run yet! Zili stomped her feet behind her, An Su raised her eyebrows, and quickly ran out of the hospital with a smile.

What Gu Wenzhou said was really right, he came to Zili to ask, and sure enough, he got many useful clues, but these fragmentary clues still can't be easily connected. The recent changes of the queen mother are a mystery, and An Su always feels that there is a big conspiracy brewing in it, but it is unknown whether these are related to Xu Meiren's poisoning.

An Su walked on the way back to Huanning Palace, and his thoughts drifted to Chun Han again. Compared with the queen, Mrs. Emei is more suspicious, after all, the queen is busy rectifying the six palaces, and she doesn't seem to have time to engage in these little tricks.
