Knowing that the Queen Mother wanted to find out about the "snake infested", the stone in Ziling's heart finally landed, and she was busy going to Cining Palace to recommend herself, wanting to help the Queen Mother.

On the second day, Ziling was ordered by the Queen Mother to go to Sitong Hospital to inquire about the events of the day, and his body was still as white as frost, his face was pale, and his eyes were red and swollen.

She was still immersed in the pain of losing her son, and when she talked about the events of that day, she couldn't stop crying, and Zi Ling comforted her in every way, and her mood finally stabilized, and she said intermittently: "On that day, there was nothing abnormal in Si Tong Hospital, and there would be visiting sisters in the past, but no one came that day...... The two serpents were spitting letters, and they were terrible...... I was so frightened that I didn't see the snake clearly......"

Liuyun came in from outside the door with a snow-white rabbit in his arms, and handed the rabbit to Bai Rushuang: "Zhaorong Niangniang, the slave has already bathed Xue'er." ”

Bai Rushuang took the rabbit, put it on his lap and gently stroked its soft fur, with a look of love. The rabbit obediently let her pet it, and it was very cute.

Rabbit...... Could it be that the two snakes were brought in by rabbits? Zi Ling hurriedly asked, "Liu Zhaorong was also holding Xue'er that day?" ”

"Ever since I learned I was pregnant with a Dragonborn, I haven't held it. That day, Cher was injured, and after Liuyun bandaged it, she was playing in my room, and I just watched it from afar. ”

So, those two snakes were really attracted by Liu Zhaorong's rabbit? However, so many people in the palace know that Liu Zhaorong likes to raise rabbits, so where should they start?

Coming out of Sitong Courtyard, Zi Ling still didn't have a clue, and it seemed that there were no clues from the rabbit.

Back at Yongle Palace, the little eunuch Guizi handed Zi Ling a simple wooden box, saying that it had just been sent by Concubine Rong and let Zi Ling look at it.

Su Zirong? Ziling and her are only two-sided, and they are not close friends, how can she send things to herself? Suspicious, he opened the box and saw the corpses of two snakes inside, which were extremely fishy. Zi Ling was frightened, threw the box on the ground, covered his chest, and felt his heart suddenly pounding like a deer, as if he was about to jump out of his mouth.

How could Su Zirong send her such a thing? Was it purely to scare her? It seems that this is not the case. Regardless of the late day, Ziling hurriedly went to the Xihua Hall.

Su Zirong was having dinner, and when she saw Zi Ling coming, she didn't stop her chopsticks. Qing porridge and side dishes, she ate them with relish, and Ziling had to wait for tea on the side.

"Can you see those two dead snakes?" After rinsing his mouth calmly, Su Zirong finally spoke leisurely.

Zi Ling nodded solemnly and asked, "Those two dead snakes, where did you come from?" ”

"I hoeed a few wooden plants in the small garden behind the Xihuatang, and accidentally dug them up." The eunuchs neglected to take care of the flowers and plants in the Cold Moon Palace, and the small garden behind the Xihua Hall was overgrown with weeds, Ziling didn't expect Su Zirong to hoe the weeds.

"Xihuatang and Ningxue Hall are only separated by this small garden." Su Zirong said to Zi Ling meaningfully, as if he was hinting at something to Zi Ling.

"You mean, this snake was buried by Concubine De?" Will it really be Concubine De? After spending all this time with Concubine De, Ziling felt that Concubine De really didn't look like a sinister and cunning person. That's right, she tortured Yu'er, but she really repented, how could the people in the palace naturally think about her whenever they encountered anything bad? Moreover, on the night Ziling fell into the water, the worry in Concubine De's eyes was real......

"You also think it's Concubine De? As the Queen Mother said, if it was really Concubine De, how could she hurt Xiaowei? Zi Ling said incredulously.

"If my sister doesn't believe me, you can listen to me and promise to let my sister catch the real murderer."

Su Zirong prostrated herself in Zi Ling's ear and told Zi Ling about her "beauty scheming......

.

The next day, Ziling went to Cining Palace and said to the Queen Mother that the palace was sprinkled with realgar everywhere, and the two snakes were estimated to have been smoked to death, but if the snake corpse was not found, the palace would be uneasy to sleep and eat, so it was better to let the Imperial Forest Army find two fierce dogs to look for it in the palace to see if the snake corpse could be found.

The Queen Mother felt that what Zi Ling said was not unreasonable, so she asked Zi Ling to do it, and Zi Ling took the order and left, and specially instructed the Imperial Forest Army to lead the fierce dog into the palace tomorrow.

The dark night is like obscurity, there is no wind and no moon, the world has long been in sleep, and the cold moon palace is also silent.

Ugly (1), a sneaky black shadow appeared in the small garden behind the Xihua Hall, and the black shadow quietly walked under the wooden flowers, squatted on the ground and dug up something, and left in a hurry.

Zhan Zhan secretly followed behind the palace maid, watching her walk into a hut at the base of the west wall of the Cold Moon Palace, and after entering the house, the palace maid took out the fire fold from her arms and lit the dry wood that had been prepared for a long time.

Before she could throw the things dug up under the wooden flowers into the flames, she saw Zhan Zhan and the other two guards standing quietly outside the window. The palace maid turned pale with fright, threw down her things and wanted to run, but found that the door of the hut had already been locked from the outside, and she became a turtle in an urn, and could only obediently wait to be captured.

The lock of the hut was opened, and when the door was opened, I saw Aunt Shuwen's face, in the bright firelight, as white as snow.

That palace maid turned out to be Aunt Shu Wen next to the Queen Mother!

The Queen Mother was shocked and didn't know how to speak. Zi Ling was also stunned, how could it be Aunt Shu Wen?!

Aunt Shuwen knelt down in front of the Queen Mother with a plop, just crying silently, but didn't say a word.

"How, how could it be, could it be you?" The Queen Mother finally spoke, and there was shock, sadness, despair, and anger in her words.

"Slaves, slaves and maids deserve to die, please give the Queen Mother a sin!" Aunt Shuwen cried and begged, at this time, she just wanted to apologize with death.

"What the hell is going on?" The Queen Mother asked.

"The slave and the maid will not say it, please give the slave and the maid a death!" It seems that Aunt Shuwen is determined to seek death and protect the person she wants to protect with her life. However, she is the personal maid brought into the palace by the Queen Mother, and she has been with the Queen Mother for decades, and she has the trust of the Queen Mother the most.

"Say! What the hell is going on?! The Queen Mother was really angry, no one had ever seen her so angry, "Even if you want to die, you have to make it clear to the mourning family!" Who is the one who mourns the loss of grandchildren? This is your last loyalty to the mourners! ”

Aunt Shu Wen knelt on the ground and swore solemnly: "Queen Mother, it's not the slave who caused Bai Zhaorong to slip the fetus!" The slave maid has followed the queen mother for so many years, reading what the queen mother thinks, loving what the queen mother loves, the slave and maid will never harm the queen mother's grandson! ”

The Queen Mother followed with tears: "Then you can say it!" Tell the mourners why you're here. ”

"It was Concubine De who asked the slave to come."
