Just when Ning Ke was talking about Chu Junyue, he was still investigating in the palace and invited the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Concubine Shu to inquire.

Concubine Shu looked reluctant, picked the corners of her red eyes, and snorted coldly and arrogantly, "What does the regent mean by this? Something happened in the waste palace, why did he find out about the head of the palace? That's not the palace of the palace!"

"Concubine Shu, the regent called us over, naturally he has something to ask, you must not be rude. The Queen Mother was reasonable, and she had to scold her.

Speaking of which, she didn't expect that Ning Ke's mother would be found in the waste palace, it has been so many years, everyone thought that Liu Xueqiong would either leave or be killed, who knew that she would appear under the waste palace?

This is not only weird, but it also hides a shady secret.

Concubine Shu pursed her lips, although she was dissatisfied, she couldn't say anything more.

The queen was as gentle and low-key as ever, sitting quietly in place and drinking tea, as if everything had nothing to do with her, and she only had the Buddha light in front of her in her heart.

"Tuk Tuk!"

Chu Junyue sat lazily, his eyes were unfathomable, he swept back and forth between the three of them, and only after a while did he speak indifferently, his voice was not loud, and he couldn't hear his emotions, but it made people feel inexplicably cold and majestic.

"This king invites all the ladies to come over today, and I really have something important to ask for, and I hope to answer without hesitation. ”

The Queen Mother nodded seriously and said, "Even if the regent asks, the mourning family must know everything." ”

"Hmm. Chu Junyue glanced at Yuanbao, and Yuanbao immediately stepped forward with a tray and uncovered the silk cloth on it.

The three of them poked their heads and looked over, and they couldn't help frowning, "What is this?"

Chu Junyue hooked his lips and smiled, explaining, "This is Luoyang paper, and currently in this palace, only the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Concubine Niangniang can use this honor." But unfortunately, this Luoyang paper appeared in the secret room under the waste palace. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes widened in shock, "How could it be? Could it be that someone stole it?"

"That's right! This Luoyang paper is rarely used in the palace, and now it's all piled up together and moldy!" said Concubine Shu in an arrogant tone.

The queen turned the Buddha beads in her hand, and only when she heard the words did she raise her head, and said softly: "The Luoyang paper in this palace has always been useful, all of them are used to copy scriptures, sometimes it is not enough, and I borrowed some from the Queen Mother." ”

"Yes, the queen is devoted to the Buddha, copying a lot of scriptures and books, Luoyang paper is used up, and she is not used to anything else, and the mourning family can't use it, so she gave some to the queen. The Queen Mother said.

"Hmm. Chu Junyue nodded thoughtfully, "This king also thinks that it won't be done by you, maybe someone else stole it?" After a pause, he said again: "But there is writing on the Luoyang paper found in the secret room, so let's write a few words and take a look!"

Concubine Shu was not happy, "What do you mean?

"No, this is to remove the suspicion of all the mothers, after all, not everyone has this Luoyang paper. Chu Junyue didn't have any emotional fluctuations, and his tone was still indifferent, "Others will inevitably suspect you, so ......"

Concubine Shu snorted unhappily, and said sharply: "Write it!

The palace people had already prepared it, and arranged three pairs of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table in turn, and asked the queen mother, the queen and the concubine to write some names of traditional Chinese medicine at the same time, and then put them away.

Chu Junyue glanced at it lightly, but there was still no expression on his face, and he couldn't see joy or anger, so he immediately let the ingots accept it.

"It's been written, it's been written, so what does the regent think now?" the concubine sneered.

Chu Junyue Shi Ran stood up, hooked the corners of his lips inscrupulably, and said coldly: "This matter, this king will go back to investigate well, and I have worked hard for you today." ”

After speaking, he didn't give an accurate answer, so he left quickly.

The remaining three people were confused and looked at each other, did they see it, or did they not see it?

Concubine Shu snorted, "I'm afraid I can't find any evidence, just go through the motions! It's been a matter of many years, and it's strange that I can find out!"

"That's better than not checking, Liu Xueqiong was also a generation of famous doctors, and died tragically here, Your Majesty doesn't give an answer, not to mention that the Ning family is not convinced, and the world will criticize it. The Queen Mother sighed, thinking that Ke'er would be sad and sad, and she felt uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, she asked the palace people to support her and returned to the palace, and wanted to send someone to Ningfu to mourn.

Concubine Shu didn't stay, and when she left, she hit the queen hard, and her tone was arrogant and domineering, "Some people are just troublesome, and if something happens to their palace, they will also affect other people!"

The queen was stumbled by her, but she didn't say anything, she lowered her head and leaned aside forbearingly, with a faint look in her eyes.

No one noticed that the fingers under her sleeves were so tightly pulled that a thin layer of sweat appeared.

What exactly is this regent going to do?

put everything on the bright side to investigate, but just asked a few casual words and there was no follow-up, what kind of medicine is it selling?

Pursing her lips, she picked up the hem of her skirt and hurried away.

*

After Chu Junyue left the palace, he went straight to the Ningguo Mansion, and at that time, the entire Guogong Mansion was snow-white, and the atmosphere was cold and sad.

The mourners saw him in person, as if they had seen a ghost, you must know that the regent never gave face to participate in these, but he came to the Ningguo Mansion, so didn't it confirm the marriage contract between him and Miss Ning in the rumors?

Everyone's eyes are different, and they weigh a little more.

"Little Ke'er. Chu Junyue strode through the hall and entered the house, and saw Ning Ke kneeling on the side and burning paper money, and his originally thin body was dressed in filial piety clothes, which made him even more poignant like a little white flower.

Ning Ke looked up and was slightly stunned, "Why are you here at this time.......?"

"I'm here to offer my condolences. Chu Junyue interrupted her words and made a look, Ning Ke didn't ask any more with interest, and personally lit three sticks of incense and handed them to him.

"Since you're here, let's burn incense!"

"Hmm. ”

Chu Junyue took it, symbolically bowed slightly, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

He is a well-known cold-faced Hades, even if the emperor is in front of him, he can't bow down, but now he is offering incense to a lady of the Ningguo Mansion, and others are shocked when they look at it.

What a great honor that must be! It can also be seen that Ning Ke's status is really unusual in the heart of the regent.

Ning Ke didn't think about it so much, taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people, he moved to the big tree outside the mourning hall and asked about the situation in the palace.

Chu Jun was more secretive, "The grass has been beaten, just waiting for the snake." ”

Ning Ke's eyes stared slightly, and then his eyes lit up, "Are you trying to ......?"

"Shhhh Since this mastermind behind the scenes can be hidden for so many years, it will definitely not be a good stubble, and it will take a little more thought. ”

"But we already have Luoyang paper and handwriting, which can be testified. Ning Ke was a little puzzled as to why he had to go to great lengths to use a strategy to startle the snake.

Chu Junyue pulled her to the hut next to her and showed her the handwriting of the three people he had just collected in the palace, "Whose handwriting do you think this is?"

Ning Ke looked at all three of them, and then compared them with the one found in the secret room, his eyes lit up, "Queen! is it really her?!"

Yes, she remembered, she had already felt that the handwriting in the secret room was very familiar, it turned out to be the queen's!

When she investigated Qingyin Temple before, the queen wrote some lists for her, and after she read it, she naturally felt familiar!

Now that I think about it, the queen is really the most suspicious!

He has a close relationship with the crown prince, often goes out of the palace to Qingyin Temple, and is a native of the South China Sea, and the palace was originally lived by the queen...... Everything is connected, and suddenly it makes sense!

At first, she was just skeptical, thinking that someone as good as the queen would definitely not be a murderer, who knew the answer!

"Xiao Ke'er, everything is inconclusive, calm down, you have to hit seven inches to fight the snake, and you can defeat the enemy with one move. Chu Junyue held her hand and said meaningfully.

Ning Ke's thoughts were still a little confused, and he nodded indiscriminately, "Well, I know." ”

"That's right, Ke'er. Chu Junyue thought of something again, leaned into her ear and said in a low voice: "There is something I need your help with, you can get me a poison." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Just give it to me. ”

Ning Ke couldn't see through what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but she still believed in him very much in her heart, as long as he said it, she would naturally give it, anyway, the last thing she lacked was poison.

Chu Junyue left after taking the medicine, and there was no news for several days, and Ning Ke could only wait, waiting for his next plan.

And before that, there was a big incident in the East Palace.

That day.

After the prince's morning reading, the palace people in the imperial dining room sent a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

Since the prince had a dispute with the queen, he was not in a good mood, and he didn't have much appetite, so he took a sip casually and didn't move again.

But it didn't take long for the prince to suddenly vomit blood, fall headlong, and fall unconscious.

"The prince has been poisoned!

For a while, there was a storm in the palace again, the prince finally recovered, and he was poisoned again, this person has bad intentions!

When she received the news of the prince's poisoning, Ning Ke was still talking in the queen mother's palace, and the queen mother took pity on her for losing her mother, and specially asked her to enter the palace to enlighten and enlighten, who knew that the prince had an accident again.

Ning Ke felt that there was something strange about this, and immediately rushed to the East Palace, but the Queen Mother couldn't sit still, so she followed her.

In the East Palace, the emperor and empress and Chu Junyue have arrived, and there are already imperial doctors treating the prince.

As soon as Ning Ke entered, the emperor kicked the imperial doctor away and asked her to personally detoxify the prince.

After a brief glance, Ning Ke already knew what kind of poison was in the prince's heart, and said it truthfully, "Back to Your Majesty, this is the most common arsenic, but because the prince took a very small dose, and found it in time, the people's daughter can give a prescription to detoxify it later." ”

"Arsenic!" Chu Lingyue's face changed greatly, his forehead was bulging, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why is the prince poisoned! What did he eat!"

The attendant who was waiting for the prince's morning reading knelt down tremblingly, and replied tremblingly: "Back to Your Majesty, the prince only drank the porridge sent by the imperial dining room before he fell unconscious. ”

"Investigate! Who did this porridge go through!" Chu Lingyue waved his hand fiercely, his eyes fierce, "Find out who it is, and execute it immediately!"

The queen on the side turned pale, bit her lip, and lowered her head.
