Chapter 450: Contradictions
Originally, she just thought that the Shangfu Bureau might have committed some taboos in the design of clothes.
For example, the taboo of the ancestors.
Or colors and patterns that can only be used by queens.
However, Xiaolian didn't find anything on the surface when she checked it, "Little master, there are no taboos in this dress, but it looks a little wrong on the collar." ”
Tilting his face and chewing his meal, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What happened to the collar? ”
Xiaolian: "The slave and maid can't say what's wrong, it's just that it doesn't feel right, it's nothing on the surface, it seems that there is something wrong with the material inside." ”
Qian Yan said decisively: "Then use scissors to cut it open." ”
As soon as the voice fell, the already nervous palace maid dodged her eyes even more, and actually knelt on the ground to swing.
Seeing this, Qian Yan and Xiaolian glanced at each other tacitly.
Although some of the palace maids who have just entered the palace are more timid and tremble when they see their masters, this palace maid is really too suspicious.
Xiaolian took the scissors and cut the collar according to the meaning of the face.
She cut a winter suit with warm duck down stuffed into the collar.
But there was a lot of cloth in those eiderdowns, and the key was that the fabric seemed to be old.
Xiaolian showed her collar to her face, and said angrily: "Niangniang, this servant of the Shangfu Bureau is too much of a thing, he actually adulterated your clothes, and mixed these old fabrics in it, thinking that in this way he could get by, no wonder I said that it didn't feel so ironed, thanks to your ......"
When I heard it, where did I still have the heart to eat.
She walked up to Xiaolian and looked, just as Xiaolian said, there was a layer of old fabric hidden in the brocade jacket.
There is even a cloth for beating pudding, which looks like old clothing material.
His brows were tightly knit and his expression was solemn.
She always felt that it was not that simple.
The materials used to make clothes, regardless of whether they are inside or outside, are all selected by her servants from the warehouse and sent to the Shangfu Bureau, and there is no need to use the materials of the Shangfu Bureau at all.
There is no such thing as adulteration of old fabrics in order to save fabrics.
And her size is also known by the Shangfu Bureau, counting how much material will be used for loss, and at the beginning the Shangfu Bureau said how much cloth to cut, it will not be less at all.
If it's not to save fabric, then why use other people's used fabrics?
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something.
Could it be that those fabrics are worn by people with skin diseases?
Or the fabric worn by some infectious disease patients?
In this way, once she wears these clothes, she can be infected.
In the past few years, the harem seems to be harmonious, but in fact, it is secretly ruthless.
If this is the case, it must be a serious infectious disease.
Thinking of this, I immediately thought of the plague.
Although the plague in the northern border country has entered its final stage, there are still patients.
So, Qian Yan hurriedly said to Xiaolian: "Put it down, quickly put down all the clothes in your hand." ”
Xiaolian didn't understand why, so she just listened to Yanyan's words in a daze, and threw all the clothes in her hands on the ground.
Qian Yan had already gone to the inner room and found all kinds of medicines.
She first poured the disinfectant potion on Xiaolian's hand, and then used a cotton swab to wipe Xiaolian's nose with realgar.
Not only that, but she also said to Xiao Guizi: "Xiao Guizi, you hurry up and burn the disinfectant incense in the house!" ”
After Xiao Guizi responded, he quickly lit the incense.
After taking preventive and disinfection measures for Xiaolian, she looked at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground calmly, "Come on, tie her up for me and hand her over to Dali Temple for strict investigation!" ”
At the end, she said uneasily: "After you tie her up, remember to disinfect your whole body, and remind Dali Temple that this person may be a plague carrier." ”
After hearing this, the servants naturally carefully took the palace maid down.
Such a thing should be handed over to Concubine Wen first.
But Concubine Wen had to be handed over to Dali Temple in the end.
And this palace maid may have an infectious disease, if the palace maid is asked to go to Concubine Wen again, I am afraid that it will infect more people.
It's better to hand it over to Dali Temple and let a professional person interrogate this palace maid.
After the maid was taken away, the minions were fully armed and inspected all the clothes.
"Mother, I'll cut all those clothes and look at them, and every one of them is mixed with old fabric." Xiao Guizi reported to the face.
Dumping Yan: "Wrap these clothes and send them to Dali Temple as physical evidence, so that they can be disinfected and destroyed after strict investigation!" ”
"In addition, let someone inform the princess that after she finishes learning the rules from Qinsizhai, she will go directly to the Longxuan Palace, and don't go back to the Xiyan Palace for the time being."
Although the results have not been found out in Dali Temple yet, for the sake of insurance, Qianyan can only take Xiaolian and others to isolate in Xiyan Palace.
Guizi: "Yes." ”
A few days later, the Dali Temple made progress.
Xiao Guizi came in from outside: "Niangniang, the people of Dali Temple have come into contact with those rags and some death row prisoners, and those death row prisoners have been infected with the plague one after another. ”
Qian Yan was flipping through the cases, "What about the palace maid in the Shangfu Bureau, has she been infected with the plague?" ”
Xiao Guizi shook her head, "If you go back to Niangniang, that palace maid is not suffering from the plague. ”
Hearing this, the willow eyebrows raised slightly.
In this way, the palace maid just came to deliver clothes.
Moreover, the palace maid knew that there was something wrong with the clothes, and she was afraid of contracting the plague, so she was so nervous that she trembled.
Yan Yan waved his hand at Xiao Guizi, "This palace knows, you can step down." ”
After Xiao Guizi went out, he put down the pen in his hand and leaned back on the chair.
She closed her eyes and thought about what had happened recently.
If it weren't for her and Xiaolian's careful hearts, they found out that the palace goddess who came to deliver the clothes from the Shangfu Bureau was not right.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the clothes will not be cut open to see the contents at all.
If she had really put on those clothes, she would have been infected with the plague by now.
The person who killed her behind the scenes is really calculating.
Knowing that she had just returned to the palace from the Tilting Medical Pavilion, it was common for her to be infected with the plague, so she started from here.
Not long after Qian Yan came back from outside the palace, in her impression, she had never had any conflicts with the concubines next to her.
Instead, I took in a few little fans in the harem.
If she had to find some contradictions, except for the dispute between Yan and Wen in the court a few days ago, over the matter of the medical pavilion and the plague, she really couldn't think of any other contradictions.
Qian Yan could feel that Wen Xiang wanted Wen Guifei to be the queen, so he made things difficult for her everywhere.
Now Concubine Rou is sick again, and the harem is completely under the control of Concubine Wen.
The "Six Merchants", including the Shangfu Bureau, are also under the control of Concubine Wen.
But Tanyan has never offended Concubine Wen recently, and over the years, this has been conscientious in the harem and has never murdered the harem concubine.
And Concubine Wen is not so stupid, right?
Now that the harem is completely in her hands, if she makes trouble at this time, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot?
