It was not yet dawn when the snow stopped, and when I heard that there was a new entrant to the palace in the back garden who had fallen, Yao Chuxi couldn't help but ask, "Which one is it?" ”

Ding Zhou replied: "It's Liang Cainu of Baihua Pavilion." ”

Liang Cainu? The emperor and Yao Chuxi were a little puzzled, who is this Liang Cainu?

Hundred Flowers Pavilion? Isn't there only one Luo Meiren in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion? She was poisoned by Concubine Qing a while ago, wasn't she?

Ding Zhou knew that his master would not be able to remember for a while, and explained, "Liang Cainu was a little frightened because she saw the tragic situation of Luo Meiren's death, so she temporarily moved to Lilac Pavilion to live, and only moved back to Baihua Pavilion for a while." ”

As soon as he said this, Yao Chuxi understood.

"Since she can be scared, it means that she is not very courageous, how dare she go back to Baihua Pavilion? When I was in the back garden, I heard about it, saying that she often had nightmares and talked nonsense, thinking that she was scared out of the problem, can she just go back? ”

"Little master, don't worry, Chief Ji asked the imperial doctor to take a closer look at Liang Cainu, and said that she has almost recovered, so let her move back."

Yao Chuxi muttered twice, and put a fish paste and shrimp stuffed roasted wheat on the plate.

Yuan Shaoyu made some sweet porridge this morning, made with lotus seeds, red dates, wolfberries and all kinds of rice, with less honey, so that it will not be sweet and annoying, nor will it have no taste at all.

Yao Chuxi likes this very much, there are all kinds of things in it, and every time you pick out one, it has many benefits, and the miscellaneous ones are put into the pot, and the taste is good.

The emperor never likes this kind of sweet and sticky food, but he can't stand Yao Chuxi's liking, and he can't say he doesn't like it in front of her, otherwise with her character, this porridge will never be served again because the emperor doesn't like it.

As a result, after two small bowls of belly, the emperor actually felt that the taste was acceptable, and the sweetness was moderate, and he did not feel salty and unpleasant.

Pan Zhenan also suffered because of the lotus fish matter, after all, he was responsible for the arrangement of the newcomers entering the palace, although it was mainly the inner palace supervisor who was responsible, but the emperor was afraid that something would go wrong in the middle and mix in with some ill-intentioned people, so he arranged Pan Zhenan to check it.

But this time is fine, who would have thought that this would happen so suddenly? Thinking about it, it was just two days ago, Lianyu's sister had just died, and the inconspicuous person in the palace contacted Lianyu and asked her to find an opportunity to attack the third prince.

And when Yao Chuxi and Jiang Liu were not there, they took them away by the way, Ding Zhou usually can't enter the palace, he is mainly responsible for the outside affairs, Han Shanggong has old arms and legs, and the two nurses have to pay attention to rest at all times, isn't it a good time to take a nap in the room this time?

No one dared to leave the third prince and Princess Yunshu alone in the house, so seeing that Han Shanggong was accompanying them, they didn't intervene or interfere.

But I don't want to almost cause a tragedy.

Pan Zhenan wiped the sweat from his forehead, the few thick notebooks in front of him made him feel dizzy, there was a charcoal basin lit in the house, and the candles flickered and dimmed, obviously it was daytime but it was as difficult as night.

There were still a few books piled up on the table, and the rest of the letters and papers were spread out, densely covered with words.

These were the messages handed to him by the secret investigators outside the palace, all of which were sent into the palace by specific carrier pigeons, and only in his hands.

What was written on one piece of paper made his eyes shine.

The Luan family went out not long ago, and they left at night, and they didn't come back until dawn the next day, and then the brother and sister of the Lianyu family disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were already dead bodies with a missing right ear.

That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Pan Zhenan's hands trembled a little when he held the paper, and he saw the end word for word, his mouth snapped twice, and he folded the paper and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Outside the palace, almost every mansion has people who are secretly observing, and it is not that no one reports suspicious things in other courtyards, but this Luan family's move is like a ray of light shining into Pan Zhen'an's heart.

That is, the emperor didn't want to startle the snake, so he didn't investigate Concubine De and the Luan family on the surface, but he didn't want them to feel good about themselves, thinking that the emperor didn't suspect them.

This forced them to show their feet, and they had to kill the three princes.

But Pan Zhenan still felt that something was wrong.

Concubine De is not a stupid person, she is different from the Luan family, the Luan family has been gradually declining since her father died, and those uncles and aunts have pinned their hopes on Concubine De, knowing that after she raised the second prince, she thought that she would rely on her to make a comeback in the future.

Perhaps, Concubine De thought about restraining for a while, but those in her mother's family couldn't sit still.

Pan Zhenan's eyes crossed with a hint of affirmation.

After the emperor went to court in the morning, Pan Zhen'an, who had barely slept for half the night, presented the paper to the emperor with slightly red eyes.

The emperor looked at him and said beside him, "It is a bit of a coincidence that this group of people from the Luan family went out, although they all changed their clothes when they came back, and they were all scattered, thinking that no one noticed them, but Zhu Meng started to say that the emperor was suspicious of the Luan family, staring at the Luan family all day long, and he couldn't escape his eyes if there was any trouble." You can rest assured that the person was not killed in Luan Mansion, and the person was not in Luan Mansion, Zhu Meng was investigating this matter, and he was already a little eyebrow-raising. ”

"How can you be sure that it's the Luan family?" The question asked by the emperor was sudden, and it was almost not close to what Pan Zhenan had just said.

Pan Zhenan hurriedly replied, "Although the mansion next to it looks a little suspicious on the surface, there are very few daughters who are concubines in the palace, and there is no second one who is as motivated and strong as Concubine De, these are all speculations of slaves, and the most important thing is that Zhu Meng found out that among the Luan family's family members who went out that night, all of them were subordinates who signed the death contract that night. ”

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at him, "It's really wrong..."

But Ning Shou Palace now looks like he has nothing to do with himself, as if he is going to disappear into this harem, and he does not show too much concern about the assassination of the third prince, obviously deliberately avoiding this matter.

So where do you start? All the clues outside will be checked one day, if Concubine De is a ruthless character, only one sentence is the mother's family and the palace people prying each other, she doesn't know it, then she can get rid of the suspicion a lot.

Therefore, if you really want to lock Concubine De, you still have to find some key evidence in Ningshou Palace.

The person around him is the first person to start, and the emperor immediately decided to let Concubine De send the palace maids out on the grounds that she is in charge of palace affairs, and teach a few palace maids etiquette rules, especially saying that these palace maids are to be sent to the Zhaoxi Palace to serve, so as to replace those palace maids who are disobedient and not easy to call.

Concubine De couldn't refuse, unless she wanted to prove that she had lost the right to be in charge of palace affairs, she would seize this opportunity.

She can clearly feel that the emperor has taken back the power she holds in her hand little by little, if she doesn't come out like the master of the harem, then before she waits for someone else's knife to be on her neck, she first admits that she is suspected of not paying attention to it by the emperor.

It took less than an hour for Pan Zhenan to pick up the book from Ningshou Palace.

He left Shuyuan outside the Taihe Palace, and entered the palace and whispered to the emperor, "Concubine Fang Cai De Niangniang whispered a few words to the palace maid called Shuyuan, afraid that the slave would hear it and deliberately wanted to break away from the slave, and the slave also cooperated, and went out with the eunuch to get something, in fact, Yu Guang had already seen the two talking, there must be a ghost among them!" ”

Indeed, if there is nothing wrong, why deliberately support Pan Zhenan? The emperor understood what he meant, and didn't say anything, only nodded.

It was very windy outside, and the cloak of the book-rim was blown into a fan shape from time to time, and her face and ears were red from the cold.

She was a little nervous, ten nails clenched tightly in her hands, clasping the flesh of her palms, and the slight pain made her feel real.

In order not to come in vain, she tried to get her ears close to the position of the palace gate, the sound inside was very small, and she couldn't hear it clearly, but it was already the most news that the emperor and Pan Zhenan could give her.

"Does the emperor really think that the Lu family did it? The slave always feels that there is fraud in it, Concubine Qing is dead, what is the purpose of the Lu family? ”

"You can't see how much Mrs. Lu loves Concubine Qing? was already angry with Yao Shunrong, but now that his daughter is dead in the palace, he doesn't necessarily have a grudge against Yao Shunrong, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit still for a long time. As the emperor spoke, he took a sip of tea, "You will check in this direction, and the rest of the things at hand will be stopped, and the safety in the palace must be taken care of, and I don't want to happen again last time." ”

"Slaves obey!"

When she left the Taihe Palace, Pan Zhen'an's sad face and tightly knit brows made Shuyuan feel a sense of security in her heart, but she couldn't show that she was very curious, so she could only say with concern, "Father-in-law Pan is not feeling well?" It's been very cold lately, so you should pay attention to keeping warm. ”

"Miss Lao Shuyuan cares." Pan Zhenan saw that she had taken the bait, so he pretended to vomit bitterness, "If you want to say that this is the most difficult, who do you say?" Isn't that me! I worked hard to check these inside and out, and it was my fault that I didn't turn back, and all the masters were okay, and it was all my responsibility if something happened. ”

"Where is it easy for us who serve our masters?" Shuyuan's laughter is harmless to people and animals, but in fact, he is laughing at Pan Zhen'an in his heart, and he comforts him, "Father-in-law Pan has to pay attention to his body when he turns around, don't get sick because of overwork, and it is not safe to serve in front of the emperor all day long." ”

This insecurity means that it is easy to pass the illness to the emperor, but she can't say it so directly.

Pan Zhen'an looked comforted, smiled and stretched his brows, "The others in the Taihe Palace are useless, the emperor has to find me, and he can only suffer more, who makes the dragon body the foundation of the country?" The busier I am, the easier it will be for the emperor. ”

"That's right, the matter of Yao Shunrong in Zhaoxi Palace has been rumored recently, and Ningshou Palace has also heard about it, my mother is very worried, I don't know who my father-in-law can find out?"

Pan Zhenxin smiled secretly, but his face still did not change.
