Outside the palace gate, Wang Jun'er found Bang Chun and waited for Li Shenlan to come out together. From a distance, I saw Li Shenlan walking out with a sachet in her hand.

"Sister!" Wang Jun'er happily ran forward to meet her. "My sister doesn't have silk flowers in her hand."

"Laugh at me, I think your sachet looks better than mine."

Li Shenlan was also happy, although the entry into the palace was arranged by the Taiwei, but she could always be by the emperor's side, maybe this entry into the palace became a blessing.

"It really doesn't matter if you stay here and wait for me, Lu Xin probably has already gone back."

"It's okay, my cousin also won the election, and I took advantage of the carriage to go back early to report the good news. I was separated from her carriage, and I was going back in a moment. My cousin, they must have taken care of my cousin's happy events and would not pay attention to me. ”

After hearing this, Li Shenlan relieved herself, and the two went to East Street for a walk together, and then said goodbye and went back to their respective homes.

Outside the gate of Taiwei's Mansion, Taiwei and the others waited there early to wait for Li Shenlan to come back. In the afternoon, Li Shenlan's carriage finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Li Yunqi snuggled up to Aunt Xu's lap, and saw the carriage shouting "Second sister...... The second sister is here to provoke! ”

The people were busy preparing footstools, waiting for Bang Chun to help Li Shenlan get out of the car.

"The minister and his family welcome the little lord back to his home."

The news of Li Shenlan's selection spread back to the Taiwei Mansion as early as when she was still strolling around East Street, the rules of Daqi, and she was selected as the emperor's woman and the noble master in the palace. Even if the courtiers are parents, they must bow down. It's just that the Taiwei is in a high position, and even the queen rarely asks the Taiwei to kneel and bow, so the Taiwei and Mrs. Li only bend down slightly to compile.

And the Xiao family are all concubines, so they are naturally not as casual as Taiwei, so they can only kneel down honestly to greet Li Shenlan.

A group of people in front of him suddenly knelt down, and Li Shenlan was really startled in her heart. Although this is the rule, I knew it early on, but it really happened, and it still made people uncomfortable.

When she was a little at a loss, Mrs. Li got up first and smiled and cared about Li Shenlan.

"It's been a hard journey, and your father and I are overjoyed to know that you have been selected."

Li Shenlan shook her head slightly, and Mrs. Li stepped forward to hold her, and then she came back to her senses and hurriedly told everyone to get up.

"Madame ordered someone to prepare dinner early in the morning, and the second lady is also hungry, so it is better to go in quickly." The Xu family has always been gentle, and seeing that Li Shenlan was a little overwhelmed, he hurriedly found an excuse.

A group of people moved into the dining room, Xiao was also inexplicably courteous, and Li Shenlan was serving soup and adding vegetables.

"Tomorrow, the palace will send Aunt Xi to announce the decree, and then you will need to study for another ten days before you can enter the palace."

During the meal, the captain talked to Li Shenlan about the future arrangements. Seeing that Xiao's enthusiasm was not good, I couldn't help but think of Li Mingyue, who was supposed to enter the palace draft together.

"Aunt Xiao."

Xu was suddenly named by the Tai Lieutenant, and Xiao was so frightened that the dishes he was holding fell on the table. However, since Li Mingyue left the house, the Xiao family has not been allowed to stay overnight, and it is inevitable that he will be nervous when he is suddenly called, and Li Shenlan has not thought much about it.

"After Shen Lan enters the palace, she can bring Mingyue back. That girl is not too young, it's time to talk about family affairs. ”

Seeing that Taiwei mentioned Li Mingyue's marriage, hearing this, it was obvious that Li Mingyue would not be allowed to enter the palace, and Xiao couldn't wait to step forward and kill Li Shenlan. But there is a thief who has no courage to be a thief, and in front of the captain, she can only smile with a pandering smile. It's just that the hands under this table are clenching the dress a little bit.

"Okay, it's almost all used, Shen Lan is tired today, let's go back and rest early."

And they were all gone.

Xiao Yuxuan and Aunt Xiao lived in the opposite direction, and there were only Li Shenlan and Bang Chun left on the road.

The sun goes down early in the meal, and when night falls, the flowers that are still dazzling during the day are darkened. Li Shenlan didn't have much interest in watching, thinking about the attitude of the Queen Mother in the hall to herself today, she only felt that the days ahead would be difficult.

"What is Miss thinking?"

Seeing that Li Shenlan didn't talk much along the way, Bang Chun felt a little strange. But whoever is selected, which one is not jubilant.

"In the hall today, the Queen Mother almost threw off my sign. If it weren't for the emperor's time, I'm afraid that today would be a flower. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shenlan took out the sachet from her cuff. Coincidentally, the pattern on this sachet is the same as the pearl hairpin that the emperor gave to him that day, and they are all lily of the valley flowers.

"This flower is rare, and the slave and maid can't call it all of a sudden."

"It's the lily of the valley, this flower has a small fragrance but is refreshing, but most of them grow in the mountains and forests, and few people keep them at home." Li Shenlan couldn't help but reply, and suddenly whispered, "I remember, this flower means happiness......"

When Bang Chun heard this, he thought that Li Shenlan was not very happy to be targeted by the Queen Mother, so he hurriedly said good things to make her happy.

"Miss, look, the emperor gave you a happy flower and personally left your brand. It shows that the emperor cares about you, no matter how dissatisfied the queen mother is, you and the emperor will live in the future, and the queen mother can't do anything. ”

Thinking that the emperor came forward to stop him at the last moment, and cared about his body in public, Li Shenlan was finally a lot happier.

"Go back and find some lily of the valley flowers, I think ......" Li Shenlan didn't finish speaking, and suddenly felt dizzy in front of her, and even Bang Chun looked like there were a few more.

"Miss! Miss! Before Bang Chun called someone, Li Shenlan's eyes went dark and she fainted.

In Xiaoyu Xuan, Taiwei sat in the living room with a black face, and when the next person came to report, he was accompanying Xu to tease Li Yunqi. Xu on the side sat there with Li Yunqi in his arms, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

After touching half a stick of incense, Mrs. Li followed the doctor out of the bedroom. Feeling the inquiring eyes of the captain, Mrs. Li shook her head a little ugly.

"What's going on?"

"The second miss was poisoned, but the poison is not strong, and the second miss eats less, so she is given the elixir to get rid of the poison, and now she has no worries about her life."

Poisoning? Not to mention the Taiwei now, even the Xu family was also puzzled. Li Shenlan can be regarded as having no quarrel with the world in the house, and she has been busy with the draft, how can she be poisoned?

"Check! A few of you, go and bring over all the things that the second lady has been in contact with for a while, and let the doctor check it the same! ”

Taiwei was furious, and regardless of Li Yunqi's presence there, he angrily picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground. provoked Li Yunqi to sit in Xu's arms and cry in shock.

The things were quickly brought up by Liuxia and the others, and the rouge gouache that they came into contact with every day, the clothes and fans, and even the bowls, chopsticks, and medicine jars for daily meals, and the boiled medicine residue were brought over. But the doctor checked it all the way, and none of them were problematic.

"Are you sure it's all here?"

"What do you mean, doctor?"

"Lord Hui, the poison in these two young ladies is Begonia San, and this poison must be entered from the mouth to be effective. Therefore, I focused on the contents of these tentacles, but none of these bowls, chopsticks, and medicine residues were problematic. ”

It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case, unless something hasn't been delivered. Or is it that Li Shenlan is eating outside, so there is no way to verify. It's just that the Taiwei called Bang Chunlai, but what he got was that he didn't use it.

"Master, the concubine has an idea."

Xu rarely speaks on such major matters, but he can always get to the key point as soon as he says it, and the Taiwei saw that she was busy signaling to continue.

"I don't know if the second miss is like this, anyway, every time Yun Qi drinks medicine, when he finishes drinking, the concubine will be a date or honey or something. The concubine thought, since the second lady drank medicine, why didn't she see someone bring this kind of meal. ”

Yes, others don't know, but Bang Chun knows that Li Shenlan has to eat a sweet fruit every time he drinks the medicine.

"Liuxia, what about the sweet fruit, why didn't you bring it!" Bang Chun comforted Li Shenlan and asked sternly.

Liuxia was suddenly shouted, afraid that the captain would suspect him, so he hurriedly knelt down and explained, "The fruit eaten by the young lady can be put on for a long time, but when the slave maid took something in the afternoon, she found that there were insects crawling on the fruit, so she threw it away." ”

It's okay that it's not down, it's mentioned at this juncture, and throwing it will obviously attract more attention. Taiwei didn't care what Liuxia said later, and asked people to press Liuxia to find it in the swill bucket when he opened his mouth.

The time for a cup of tea passed, and Liuxia finally entered the house with a plate of fruits. The fruit soaked in the swill bucket was mixed with all kinds of odors, and even the farthest lieutenant frowned.

Although the doctor was also disgusted, he still sniffed it closely, and saw that the original smell was completely covered up, so he could only pierce it with a silver needle.

The originally clean silver needles changed color at a rate invisible to the naked eye after being removed. The color is light gray, and it is very similar to the color of a silver needle, and it is impossible to see it unless you look closely.

"The silver needle is black, it is this fruit that is poisonous!"

"Stay in the summer! How daring! ”

Liuxia was personally arranged by Mrs. Li, because she was her own apprentice, Mrs. Li was particularly relieved. Now that such an incident has happened, Mrs. Li is ashamed and annoyed.

"Sir! Madam! Slaves don't! This fruit ......"

Where is Taiwei willing to listen, Li Shenlan is the most critical chess piece for him, and he was almost lost by such a play, and Taiwei only wanted to strangle Liuxia to death at this time.

"Pull it down! Cane blame! Fight until you die! ”

"Wait! Father! ”

At the last moment, Li Shenlan heard the movement in the bedroom, and hurried to stop the subordinates who were dragging Liuxia.

"Why did you come out, go back and lie down!" The captain was angry, and even Li Shenlan didn't give a good face.

Seeing this, Bang Chun hurriedly ran forward and thought about helping Li Shenlan back.

"Father, although Liuxia is more open-mouthed on weekdays, he is simple-hearted and will never hurt his daughter. Father might as well let her finish her words, and it's not too late to talk back......"

Li Shenlan's body was still very weak, half leaning on Bang Chun's body, and she spoke for a while.

"Yes, master, it's just an ordinary maid, I think she must have been used, it's better to listen to her, and it's not too late to convict."

Xu is looking at Li Shenlan's weak appearance, he couldn't help but feel pity, and the Xu family also helped Li Shenlan persuade the captain.

"You! Keep talking! ”

Liuxia hurriedly broke free of the little guy who restrained him and knelt back on the ground.

"Sir! The slave maid went out to buy something for the second lady last time, and met the willow fragrance beside Aunt Xiao halfway, it was she who said that the fruit of a family on East Street was sweet and sour, and Aunt Xiao would use it every time she took bitter medicine, and the slave maid ......"

There is only one Li Mingyue under Xiao's knees, and when he saw that the Xu family gave birth to Lin'er three years ago, he was naturally anxious, and he had been drinking fetal pills all these years. Everyone in the house knows that the fetal medicine tastes bitter, and Liuxia's rhetoric seems reasonable.

"Go, pass the Xiao family over!"
