The two went out of the courtyard, and Lou Mingshu asked people to gather all the subordinates to the ear room next to them.

Because they went out to escape the summer, there were not many people brought by these concubines.

But even then, when these people came in, they crowded a small ear room.

Lou Mingshu looked at the people below with a straight face.

The painting next to him has already spoken: "Who arranged the meal for the queen's mother today?" ”

As soon as his words fell, an old woman stood up below: "My lord, it's an old slave." ”

The painting glanced at her, and then asked, "Then who is serving Zuo Guifei today?" ”

The people below looked left and right, and then two palace maids stood up: "My lord, it's a slave." ”

The nod left the three of them behind, and he led the rest out the door.

Lou Mingshu stood up and kept pacing back and forth in front of the three of them, but he never said a word.

Yun Rong sat on the top and watched, and didn't say much.

After pacing back and forth for half an hour, Lou Mingshu finally stopped, he looked at the old woman beside the queen, and asked, "Today's meal was prepared in advance?" ”

The old lady replied, "Yes." ”

"Anyone else has seen the meal list in advance except you?"

The old lady clasped her hands, thought about it and shook her head and said: "No, the meal list was prepared by the old slave yesterday and tonight, and the mother was invited to read it, and it was set, if anyone has seen it, then ......."

The old lady didn't say any more, after all, it involved the queen, and she couldn't say something as a minion.

Lou Mingshu frowned, but he also understood.

Then he set his eyes on the two palace maids next to him.

"You arranged today's diet for the concubine?"

The two palace maids nodded.

Lou Mingshu asked again: "Then what did the concubine eat today?" ”

The two thought for a while, and one of them said: "Niangniang's appetite is not very good today, I didn't eat when I got up early, and I used it at the queen's place at noon." ”

Lou Mingshu frowned, and his eyes fell on the palace maid who spoke: "What's your name?" ”

The palace maid who spoke hurriedly said: "The slave maid should be winter." ”

Lou Mingshu looked at her again and said, "Ying Dong, before the accident of the concubine Niangniang, have you always been by her side?" ”

Ying Dong nodded: "Yes." ”

"Never left?" Lou Mingshu confirmed again.

Ying Dong frowned, thought about it, and suddenly said with a red face: "The slave maid went to the clean room in the middle. ”

"How long have you been there?"

Ying Dong let out an 'ah', raised his head and glanced at Lou Mingshu quickly, his face became more and more red, but he still replied hesitantly: "I went for about a quarter of an hour." ”

"Then when you left, who was next to the concubine?"

Ying Dong glanced at the palace maid next to him and said, "It's Ying Xue, the mother brought the two slaves and maids when she went out." ”

After listening to her, Lou Mingshu set his eyes on Ying Xue's body.

However, before he could speak, Ying Xue knelt down with a 'plop': "My lord, the slave doesn't know anything, the slave didn't harm the mother." ”

Lou Mingshu looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, his brows didn't wrinkle, and asked, "Tell me what's going on first?" ”

Ying Xue heard his words, and hurriedly said: "When Ying Dong left today, someone came over with a bowl of soup, saying that it was sent by the kitchen, and every family had it, and the slave maid smelled the soup very fragrant, and thought that the maid had a bad appetite in the morning, and she didn't eat anything, so she gave the soup to the maid, but the slave didn't know how it became like this, and the slave didn't harm the maid, and the soup slave and maid tasted it, and it was not poisonous." ”

She cried and kowtowed to Lou Mingshu a few times.

Things are pretty much clear by now.

In the morning, someone sent soup to Zuo Guifei, saying that it was available to all palace masters, but in fact, it was only given to Zuo Guifei.

Therefore, Zuo Guifei was poisoned, and the masters of the other palace were fine.

But the palace is so big, who wants to harm Zuo Guifei?

Lou Mingshu frowned, and asked again: "The palace maid who delivered the soup, do you remember what she looks like?" ”

Ying Xue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Look at some eyes." ”

However, this is not surprising, when they moved to Liangshan to escape the summer, there were many palace people who served here, and they were not brought out of the palace.

It's someone who already has it in the palace.

So, it's not surprising to look at the face.

Lou Ming was silent, and said, "Then if you meet her again, can you still recognize her?" ”

Ying Xue thought for a while and said, "The slave doesn't dare to guarantee it." ”

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and said, "However, the slave remembers that there is a black mole on the right side of her eyebrows. ”

After she finished speaking, Lou Mingshu glanced at the painting.

The painting turned out.

Ying Xue saw that he didn't speak, and she was anxious and panicked.

What if I can't find that person?

But no matter how anxious or panicked she was, Lou Mingshu still asked the three of them to be taken out.

As soon as a few people left, only Lou Mingshu and Yun Rong were left in the ear room.

He looked at Yun Rong and asked, "What does Miss Yun think?" ”

Yun Rong twisted her eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "What does Master Lou think of Ying Dong?" ”

Should it be winter?

Lou Ming was stunned, judging from the statements of several people, Ying Dongdang was innocent.

But Yun Rong asked him how Ying Dong was!

"Miss Yun is suspicious of Ying Dong?"

Yun Rong shook her head: "It can't be said to be a suspicion, it's just an intuition." ”

Lou Mingshu was interested, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Yun might as well come and listen." ”

Yun Rong raised her head and glanced at him, and asked, "Lord Lou really wants to listen?" ”

She is not good at trying cases and solving cases, if she doubts Ying Dong, it may affect Lou Mingshu's judgment.

Lou Mingshu smiled and said, "Miss Yun, but it's okay to say. ”

Hearing this, Yun Rong said the doubts in her heart: "When you asked before, Ying Dong said that she hadn't left, but when you asked again, she said that she had been to the clean room. ”

Lou Mingshu nodded and said, "It's possible to forget something like going to the clean room for a while." ”

Yun Rong didn't refute, and said, "But this is too much of a coincidence." ”

"How?" Lou Mingshu asked.

"As soon as she went to the clean room and left, someone brought the soup, a bit like pinching and waiting for her to leave."

"Moreover, when you asked just now, she always led the words to Ying Xue intentionally or unintentionally."

"So you suspect it's her?" Lou Mingshu asked.

Yun Rong nodded, and said, "The queen's meal was prepared last evening, what would you do if you wanted to harm someone?" ”

She raised her head and looked at Lou Mingshu, as if waiting for his answer.

Lou Mingshu smiled and did not speak.

After a while, the painting walked in from outside, arched his hand towards Lou Mingshu and said, "My lord, I asked clearly." ”

"How?"

In the painting, he glanced at Yun Rong next to him, and stopped talking.

Lou Mingshu looked back and said, "To put it bluntly, in this case, Yun Yiyi is assisting." ”

Hearing him say this, the painting continued: "My subordinates have asked according to your instructions, there is no one who understands medicine around Zuo Guifei, but Caiwei, the palace maid next to the queen's mother, knows medical science. ”

Picking rose!

Lou Mingshu frowned: "I'll say what I have." ”

"Yes." The painting responded, and then said: "Actually, there is nothing about general medicine, but I have inquired about it, Cai Wei and Deng Shufei are fellow villagers, and someone saw her and the people in Deng Shufei's palace yesterday." ”

actually involved Concubine Deng Shu.

Lou Mingshu did not speak.

The painting said: "The position of the household servant is vacant, and my subordinates heard that Concubine Deng Shu's maiden family and Zuo Guifei's maiden family are competing for this position, could it be because of this matter?" ”

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence.

But Lou Mingshu also understands that since ancient times, the concubines and the previous dynasty have been inseparable from each other.

The Deng and Zuo families competed for the position of the household servant in the previous dynasty, and Concubine Zuo and Concubine Deng Shu, who were concubines, would not stand by.

Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, if something happens to the concubine, the family that must have had an accident will not have the confidence and bargaining chips to fight.

Lou Mingshu waved his hand, and the painting retreated.

Yun Rong also understood, looked at Lou Mingshu and asked, "What is Lord Lou going to do?" ”

Lou Mingshu looked at her and said with a smile: "Miss Yun assisted the official in handling this case, and the rest depends on what Miss Yun does." ”

Yun Rong didn't know why, frowned and said, "Me? ”

Lou Mingshu nodded, leaned over and leaned towards her.

Yun Rong subconsciously took two steps back, looked at him with some vigilance and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Lou Ming pursed his lips and smiled, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Yun Rong straightened up and said, "There is something to say." ”

Lou Mingshu saw her serious appearance, but he was teasing, and asked with a smile: "What do you just think I will do?" ”

Yun Rong's face turned red, she raised her head to look at him, suddenly leaned in front of him, and said coquettishly: "I hate it!" ”

This time, Lou Ming was stunned.

He looked at Yun Rong's eyes with affection, and he didn't even know where to put his hand for a while.

Yun Rong 'cut' and said in her heart: "With such a thin skin, you still tease her?" Hmph, I don't see who suffers. ”

Thinking so in his heart, he said with a straight face: "Say, what should I do?" ”

Lou Ming came back to his senses, shook his head, and hurriedly said, "You lean over a little." ”

Yun Rong frowned and stood still without moving.

Lou Mingshu said: "I just want to tell you about the next plan, you are so far away, what do I say?" ”

Yun Rong felt that what he said had no credibility.

said directly: "There is no one else in this house, you just say it directly." ”

Lou Mingshu reacted at this time.

Sure enough, every time he ran into her, he reacted more slowly.

He straightened his face and said, "We ...... like this."

Yun Rong frowned and listened to him before asking, "Is this okay?" ”

Lou Mingshu looked at her and said, "You are doubting my ability." ”

Yun Rong hurriedly denied: "It's not. ”

"It's just that we don't have any evidence on hand right now, and you can't say anything based on that alone."

Lou Mingshu nodded and said: "The queen's meal list, she can't memorize it all, she can only copy a copy, as long as we find this list that she copied by hand, there will be evidence." ”

Yun Rong looked at him and asked, "Where are you going to find it?" ”

Lou Mingshu smiled and said, "So, this matter has to rely on Miss Yun." ”
