Hanlu came out of the backyard in frustration, and the answer given by Yin Lingyuan about the poisoning was: The time has not yet come.

But Hanlu is unwilling, their mother is obviously the one who has been hurt the most, how can it end up, but Concubine Rong has the upper hand, but her own mother wants to be so wronged and humiliated.

Bao Sheng had been waiting for her, and when he saw Hanlu coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Hanlu felt that there was nothing to hide, and told Baosheng what happened in the family division and his own thoughts.

Bao Sheng was also angry after hearing this, she has been serving in the palace since she was a child, and the situation is naturally clearer than Han Lu's: "But now you have also seen it, Niang Niang herself is not careful, what can we do as slaves and maids?" ”

Hanlu thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Why don't we go and ask for a concubine?" ”

"Concubine Niangniang?" Baosheng said, "It's not that Concubine Xian Niangniang didn't persuade her, but our Niangniang couldn't listen to anything this time." ”

"Let's go and ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to help find out the person who poisoned it", Han Lu's eyes flashed brightly, "Concubine Xian Niang Niang Hui has a blue heart, she will definitely be able to find out, and when the time comes, see how proud Concubine Rong is." ”

Bao Sheng nodded again and again when he heard the first two sentences, but in the end, he didn't understand: "Concubine Rong? ”

"Yes", Han Lu said as a matter of course, "The whole thing, Concubine Rong is the most suspicious, this is not the first time she has harmed our mother." ”

"Concubine Rong......" Bao Sheng repeated silently, a dark look flashed in her eyes, she pondered for a moment, and finally did not speak.

The two discussed that they would go to Liqing Palace the next day, and before leaving, Baosheng had a temporary errand, and finally Hanlu went alone.

"You want me to help track down the real culprit?" Concubine Xian was slightly surprised, "Did Sister Concubine Yu ask you to come?" ”

"My mother's mind is all about those vegetables", Han Lu said honestly, "It was the slave who couldn't bear to see the mother being wronged, so she dared to ask the concubine for help." ”

"That's ......" Concubine Xian nodded, lost in thought.

Hanlu continued: "The slave maid knows that the mother and my mother are sisters, and when she sees my mother like this now, she must be unbearable, and the slave and maid think that if she finds the murderer of her mother, maybe my mother will be relieved." ”

As she spoke, she knelt in front of Concubine Xian and kowtowed deeply: "Ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to help my mother." ”

Concubine Xian hesitated, because she was afraid that Yin Lingyuan had other plans and would ruin her plan if she intervened rashly, but seeing that Han Lu was so earnest, and thinking of Yin Lingyuan's current situation, she finally nodded and agreed.

"On the day the spirit kite was poisoned, you were the only one who accompanied you, and you will tell the palace in detail about the situation that day." Xian Concubine said.

Han Lu saw that Xian Concubine was willing to help, and she was immediately overjoyed, the situation on the day of the poisoning, she had said countless times in the prison before, of course, she remembered it vividly, and immediately told Xian Concubine in detail.

Concubine Xian listened carefully, and from time to time she asked her some small details, including everything she remembered.

The two of them analyzed the comings and goings, and they really felt that there was nothing abnormal on this day, and Yin Lingyuan was poisoned without warning at all.

"A few days before the poison, did Concubine Yu eat anything?" Concubine Xian asked, "According to Imperial Physician Fang's diagnosis that day, the poison in you and Concubine Yu is very similar, think about it again, is there anything that the two of you have used together?" Food, or tea? ”

"Since Jin Jieyu lost her son, Niangniang is very cautious about the things in the entrance, and the dim sum soup sent by the other palace, Niangniang does not eat anything", including the green road, "If there is anything different, it is the perilla milk cake in the Yifei Palace, but the imperial doctor has checked it, there is no problem with the pastry, and the slave has not eaten it, only my mother has used it in the Yifei Palace." ”

"As for the other ......," said Han Lu meditated, "it is no different from what is usually used, and what the mother has eaten is often rewarded to the slaves and maids to eat together." ”

Yin Lingyuan has always been informal, and when no one is around, she often lets Hanlu and others eat at the same table, saying that it is too boring to eat alone, so they have eaten and drunk a lot of things together, and Hanlu can't think about it for a while.

"You go back and recall the memories carefully", Concubine Xian said, "Only Concubine Yu and you, the two of you have eaten, and the others have not eaten, it is best to make a detailed list, and we will explore the past one by one." ”

"Yes, slave maid, go back and think about it." Han Lu immediately responded and was about to leave.

Concubine Xian suddenly remembered something, and called Hanlu: "In addition to food, has anyone sent anything to your mother in those days?" ”

She remembered that when Concubine He was pregnant with the little princess in the past, she was once poisoned in the ink ingots of the little prince, and suddenly felt that it was not necessarily something to be poisoned, so she asked.

Hanlu thought for a while and said: "Niangniang is pregnant, the queen mother and the emperor often reward some things, and the other palaces, that is, when they are just pregnant, send more, and then there is nothing." ”

There should be no problem with the things rewarded by the emperor and the queen mother, Concubine Xian thought that maybe she was too careful, and suddenly heard Hanlu speak again: "It's that Su Cainu from the North Fifth Institute came to visit a few days ago, but Niangniang didn't let her in at all." ”

"Su Cainu?" Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, "But in the past, when Concubine Yu controlled the release of the girls out of the palace, she took the initiative to choose to stay behind Su Cainu?" ”

"It's her." Han Green Road, "She didn't know what to think, she suddenly came to see my mother, took the initiative to admit to stealing the vouchers, and returned all the stolen vouchers, but the emperor has announced that these vouchers are invalid, presumably it is useless for her to keep them." ”

"And after that?" Xian asked the concubine.

"After that, my mother let her go", including Greenway, "and there was nothing out of the ordinary." ”

Concubine Xian was thoughtful, and after being silent for a moment, she said: "In this way, in addition to diet, you also list the various items that Concubine Tianyu received, if you can, try to find the imperial doctor to check it carefully to see if there is anything abnormal." ”

"The slave and maid understand." Hanlu retreated.

Back in Zhongxiu Palace, she plunged into the small kitchen, these people in the small kitchen were used to Yinghua Palace, and the ingredients used were also grown by Yinghua Palace itself, so it was unlikely that there would be a problem, but despite this, Han Lu still carefully recalled the meals of the days before the poisoning and recorded them in detail.

After that, there is the treasury, the things in the treasury of Zhongxiu Palace were all moved from Yinghua Palace later, Han Lu first carefully counted the number, confirmed that there was no shortage, and on the grounds that he was unwell, he quietly invited Fang Jiping to come, and compared the booklet, the things that the emperor and the queen mother had rewarded in those days were carefully checked, and there was no problem.

A few days later, Hanlu took the results and went to Xian Concubine: "The slave maid has checked all of them according to what Niangniang said, and there is no problem." ”

After a few days of checking, nothing was found, and Hanlu was also anxious.

Concubine Xian held the list and looked at it carefully, and suddenly asked, "What about the receipt?" ”

"What?" Hanlu didn't react.

"Didn't you say that Concubine Yu received Su Cainu's voucher at that time, why is there no verification result of the voucher in this list?"

Hanlu only cared about taking inventory of the things in the warehouse, but forgot the voucher, and immediately patted his head: "The slave is confused, I forgot this, the voucher was put away by the slave and maid at that time, and the slave and maid went back to check, and then went back and forth to the mother." ”

Concubine Xian nodded: "Go." ”

She also adhered to the principle of not missing a little, and didn't really feel that there was anything wrong with a few small vouchers, but a few hours later, Hanlu went and returned, sweating profusely: "Niangniang, the voucher is gone!" ”

This is not a precious thing, Yin Lingyuan gave her the slip at that time, and Hanlu put it in the cabinet casually, she just listened to the order of the concubine, and went to the cabinet to find it, but she didn't expect all the cabinets to rummage through and disappear at all.

When I asked Bao Sheng, I also said that I had never seen it.

She even found the backyard and asked Yin Lingyuan, who was busy watering a seedling, and replied without raising her head when she heard the words: "I don't know, what are you looking for?" ”

Hanlu didn't dare to say that he was quietly investigating her poisoning, but he just sorted out his things today, and found that he didn't see it, so he came to ask.

Yin Lingyuan didn't say anything more, still concentrating on watering this small cluster of shoots.

Hanlu realized the problem in this, so he hurried to Liqing Palace to find Xian Concubine.

The voucher was sent by Su Mei, according to Hanlu's recollections, when the voucher was sent, Su Mei was wrapped in a handkerchief, and after Yin Lingyuan received the voucher, he once counted the number, and then handed it over to Hanlu for safekeeping.

"In the whole process, only I have been in contact with the slip with my mother, so when I think about it, that Su Mei is very suspicious." Contains green and firmly said.

But at this moment, the slip disappeared, and Concubine Xian asked, "Who else knows the existence of this slip?" ”

"When Su Cainu saw Niangniang, only me and Baosheng were present, but my mother-in-law did not deliberately conceal this matter, up and down the palace, you can know if you pay a little attention", including the green road, "and the last time I moved the palace, the personnel were complicated, if someone took the opportunity to destroy it......"

Concubine Xian speculated in her heart, but she was afraid that the truth had already been like this.

Now that the slip disappeared out of thin air, they rashly went to ask Su Mei, afraid that they would not be able to judge anything.

Concubine Xian frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you remember the appearance of the handkerchief and the slip?" ”

"It's just a plopping silk handkerchief", including the green road, "the color of peach blossom pollen, very common in the palace, nothing special." ”

"As for the slip," Han Lu struggled to recall, "the slave remembered the wrinkled appearance, as if she had been rubbed for a long time. ”

"So, I have an idea", Concubine Xian beckoned to Hanlu, asked her to come over with her ear, and whispered something, Hanlu showed an incredulous look: "In this way, can it work?" ”

"For now, there is only one try." The concubine is secluded.
