The Queen Mother has also heard the rumors and rumors circulating in the palace in the past few days, and naturally knows that both flowers and fish have died in the pond of the Imperial Garden, which is really bad news for the Queen Mother.

She herself is superstitious, and the imperial garden is the most popular place in the entire palace, and even strange things frequently appear in the imperial garden, and the queen mother thinks that there is a demon in the palace.

But in order to reduce the impact of this matter, the Queen Mother did not dare to make a noise, but frequently asked a mage to come to her palace to do a few rituals.

The Queen Mother is old and is ignorant of feudal thoughts, so her thoughts are naturally more closed, so she firmly believes that there is a demon in this palace.

The Queen Mother has not dared to go out in recent days, she is sick herself, because this matter seems to be getting worse.

Thinking of the upcoming sacrificial ceremony, the Queen Mother was always faintly uneasy in her heart, not knowing if there was any inevitable connection between these two things.

The Queen Mother knew that the foundation of the dynasty was unstable, and although the emperor said that he was the nominal king of a country, the regent still held the power.

In the final analysis, the Queen Mother is just a thoughtful old lady, she doesn't understand and doesn't participate in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but she understands in her heart that this dynasty is very unsafe, not only internal worries but also external troubles.

The Queen Mother values the upcoming sacrifice ceremony more than anyone else, but she didn't expect so many ominous signs to appear at this juncture, which is nothing more than a heavy blow to the Queen Mother.

Therefore, the Queen Mother was more attentive to the upcoming sacrificial ceremony, and she specially found a few capable people from various palaces to form a team.

All items used for the sacrifice are inspected in advance, including the utensils used for the sacrifice, the place used for the sacrifice, and the costumes used for the sacrifice.

Moreover, this time the inspection was carried out in secret, and the people she selected were all from different palaces, representing the forces of different people.

If these people are gathered together, they will be selfless, and they will report any small place in time, so when they check the sacrificial clothing, it is easy to smell the sulfur in the queen mother's dress.

The inspector didn't know what it smelled like, so he unfolded the queen mother's dress.

Some people even reached out and touched it, after all, poison like bathing fire is not easy to obtain, so it is not known to everyone.

It was only very soon that everyone knew that it was powerful, because the person who touched the lining of the dress with his hand soon began to be red and swollen, and it spread from both hands to the whole body.

The man was in great pain, and kept wailing on the ground, and the people around him didn't know what was wrong, but they all knew that the matter was serious, so they hurriedly reported it to the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother arrived, the man was already blistered and began to fester, and the Queen Mother saw this situation and hurriedly sought medical treatment.

The imperial doctor could only diagnose that this person was poisoned by an extremely domineering poison, but he didn't know what poison it was, so naturally he couldn't give an antidote, so that person died in a painful wail.

The Queen Mother who saw this scene was extremely shocked, because she knew that this dress was her own dress, and she couldn't imagine what would happen if this dress was worn by herself?

Therefore, on the one hand, the Queen Mother ordered several teams of people to continue to check the remaining things, and on the other hand, she secretly found all the people who had touched the dress and went to her palace for interrogation, because the queen was the lord of the six palaces, so she had to listen to this matter on the sidelines.

The palace maids hurriedly went to Shen Jasmine's bedroom.

But Shen Jasmine is now resting on the soft couch, and she has a cup of chrysanthemum tea in her hand, the chrysanthemum has just been fried, and it seems to have life again when soaked in water.

The meaning of this chrysanthemum tea is far greater than its taste, and Shen Jasmine just took two sips gently.

There has been no news in the recent period, no news is good news, as long as it is time to sacrifice, his plan will be considered to have succeeded, so Shen Jasmine's mood can't help but improve.

At this moment, I heard someone hurriedly report it.

"Niangniang, something is wrong, someone is coming."

Shen Jasmine got up and saw that it was the palace maid who was waiting beside the Queen Mother, and hurriedly sat upright, pretending to be solemn.

"Why did you come to Hongu?"

The palace maid heard that Shen Jasmine was asking herself, and hurriedly told Shen Jasmine everything she knew.

After Shen Jasmine heard this, her heart sank, knowing that the East Window incident had happened, but since the Queen Mother was investigating thoroughly now, she didn't suspect herself.

She barely kept her face calm, and waved her hand, "Bengong knows, you go back first to restore your life, and Bengong will arrive later." ”

After the people left, Shen Jasmine picked up a plain dress and put it on, and poured some powder on her face, pretending to be weak and sick, and then she was carried by the palace maid next to her to the queen mother's bedroom.

Along the way, Shen Jasmine's mind turned a thousand times, she knew that this matter had already happened, and it was absolutely impossible for the Queen Mother to let go of this matter.

For this moment, the only way to push this matter onto Su Mian is to find a way.

After Shen Jasmine came to the Queen Mother's side, she didn't expect the Queen Mother to ask herself to listen on the side, and she was slightly stunned, and then Shen Jasmine also reacted.

Since the Queen Mother said so, she must not have doubted herself, since this is the case, she will take one step at a time, and see the move.

The only thing she is worried about now is that she is afraid that someone will suspect Xiao Cui, and when the time comes, Xiao Cui will not be able to withstand the torture and confess herself, which will be dangerous.

However, she was soon relieved.

Xiaocui's family is in her own hands, and she has already sent a letter to Xiaocui, and told Xiaocui that if it really comes to this point and Xiaocui dies, her family will have a future of abundant food and clothing.

Shen Jasmine believes that for this trade-off, Xiaocui should make the right choice.

When the people sent by the Queen Mother came to Su Mian's courtyard, Su Mian was teaching Xiao Yue and Xiao Xiangzi to play backgammon, for Su Mian, the matter of Go was too complicated, she couldn't figure it out herself, and there was no way to teach Xiao Yue and Xiao Xiangzi.

But backgammon is much more convenient, interesting and easy to learn, Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiangzi are still very smart, and the three of them have a lot of fun.

The messenger walked in from outside the courtyard, with a serious face, Su Mian couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what happened, I bother my sister to run this trip herself." ”

The people in the palace didn't have any obvious joy or anger towards Su Mian, but said to Su Mian respectfully: "The Queen Mother has something to ask you to go." ”

Su Mian didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he hurriedly asked the man secretly, "I don't know what the Queen Mother is looking for me, can my sister reveal something to me?" ”

The palace maid shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know what the specific matter is, but the slave and maid heard that eighty percent of the dress is wrong, so you can figure out how to deal with it yourself." ”

After speaking, the palace maid didn't say anything more, just waited for Su Mian to prepare to leave together.

Su Mian walked in, only to see that there was a solemnity around the hall, the Queen Mother was very angry, she sat in the middle of the position, her face turned pale with anger.

But this matter always has to be dealt with with a result, and the clothes made by Su Mian were thrown in the middle of the hall.

After she walked in from the outside, she was led to the Queen Mother, Su Mian walked through the crowd, and felt all kinds of eyes coming from the crowd, including anger, sympathy, and schadenfreude.

Su Mian didn't know what was going on, but the dress he made was thrown on the ground, there must have been something wrong with the dress, and the problem was not small, so that the Xingshi movement affected so many people.

"See the Queen Mother." Su Mian knelt on the hard floor, not daring to make any movement.

After a long time, the Queen Mother spoke, "There is a problem with this dress, you are all people who have been in contact with the dress, especially you, Su Mian, the mourning family now wants you to give the mourning family an explanation." ”

Su Mian wondered in her heart that there would be something wrong with this dress, and she saw that the people kneeling around her were also confused, and no one took the initiative to speak.

Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother said: "Today, a palace maid died after touching this dress, and the mourning family has ordered the imperial doctor to carefully examine it, and this dress contains highly poisonous, you have all touched this dress, and it stands to reason that you should all be executed, but the mourning family gives you a chance, who did it yourself to stand up, and the mourning family will forgive others." ”

"This crime is a capital crime, since you dare to do it, then what do you dare not admit now that the East Window incident happened." When she said these words, the Queen Mother's eyes kept staring at Su Mian.

Su Mian didn't dare to raise his head, but he also felt the Queen Mother's stern gaze like an awl.

No one answered for a long time, so the Queen Mother asked Shen Shen Jasmine beside her, "Empress, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Shen Shen Jasmine was suddenly asked, she tilted her head and thought about it for a while, and said: "Queen Mother, this matter is a matter of human life, and it is difficult for the concubines to make a conclusion. ”

The Queen Mother said to her a little angrily: "When has this been?" You haven't seen how miserable the poisoned person is, such a despicable mind, what can't you say? ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Shen Shen Jasmine said hesitantly: "If it is seen by the concubine, the most likely person who poisoned the person is Su Mian." ”

This sentence was said to the heart of the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother was still angry, but she couldn't stop nodding.

"Although you don't often participate in the affairs of the harem, your eyes are still bright, and your heart is also very bright."

After listening to the Queen Mother's evaluation, Shen Jasmine couldn't help but sneer in her heart, not because she did something well, but because what she said was just in line with the Queen Mother's intentions.

Since the Queen Mother also believes that Su Mian did it, why didn't Shen Jasmine push the boat with the water?

Thinking of this, Shen Jasmine made up her mind in her heart, planning to add more oil and vinegar.
