The more he can't let go, the more worried Niangniang is, and the more Niangniang is worried, the more His Highness can't let go...... There seems to be a kind of dead cycle between their mother and son, and the cycle repeats itself endlessly.

Zhulu's chicken soup, resting on the table, gradually became cold.

The slight oily glow condenses into a thin film of oil, which makes people look completely lost.

Changsheng said lightly: "I've been mediocre recently, so my aunt shouldn't bother making these foods." Good food, but no one eats it, it is wasted. ”

His words dimmed Zhulu's eyes for a moment.

She nodded silently and got up to leave.

The bowl of chicken soup was rewarded by Changsheng to the little eunuch Xiao Liuzi beside him.

Aunt Zhulu's craftsmanship can be called a must in the six palaces.

The food she had carefully prepared was once available to four people in the palace, but now there were only three.

Emperor, Queen, Crown Prince......

When the little eunuch got this bowl of chicken soup, he burst into tears with gratitude, and his hands trembled with excitement.

Xiao Chunzi looked at him like this, and secretly shook his head in his heart. "This one has never seen the world!"

Koharuko looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for fear that he would find something unpleasant.

Who knows, His Royal Highness looked at Xiao Liuzi with sincere fear, and he didn't know how to look good, so he just smiled coldly.

It's just leftovers, he is so grateful, is he sincere, or is it deliberate?

Don't think about it, he must be acting on purpose.

Xiao Liuzi retreated in a trance, and Xiao Chunzi returned to serve His Royal Highness.

"Your Highness, if you are not happy, the slave will accompany you out for a walk."

Looking at his expression, you can see that His Highness is angry.

Changsheng hated him for being too talkative, and waved his hand: "No need, you can also retreat." ”

At this moment, he just wanted to read quietly by himself.

Evenings are always quieter. However, on this seemingly peaceful night, something unquiet happened quietly.

Before dawn, a message came out of the Tai Womb. A little eunuch died of illness last night......

The most taboo thing in the palace is the dead, especially those who die of illness. And, overnight.

This is definitely not a trivial matter. When the Internal Affairs Office learned of this, it immediately investigated thoroughly to the end, and found that the little eunuch who died of illness was actually the little sixth son who was serving beside His Royal Highness the Prince.

In order to prevent panic, the Ministry of Internal Affairs took away the body of Xiao Liuzi.

The affairs in the womb, no matter how big or small, have to go through the queen's mother.

There were dead people around the prince, and they were sick and dead. It can be big or small.

Changsheng didn't know that there were dead people around him, so he followed his father to the early court as usual.

Meng Xilan woke up a little late in the morning, and when she heard this, the expression on her face froze suddenly.

Zhulu's hand that was combing her hair was also slightly stunned, and her face was full of surprise.

Little Liuzi ...... It's a newcomer, and she saw him last night.

"Let the high welfare find out. Hongu wants to know when he died? What died of illness? When did you die? ”

Meng Xilan's tone was a little excited.

Zhulu gently soothed her shoulder: "Niangniang, maybe it's just a coincidence." A few years ago, there was also such a thing in the palace, and a little palace maid died violently because of heart palpitations! ”

Meng Xilan looked at her through the mirror: "No, how are the people around Changsheng carefully selected. They are all healthy people. ”

There must be a demon when things go wrong, she doesn't believe in any coincidence?

Gao Fufu was ordered to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was the most experienced person.

Now he is in the palace and has no official rank, but everyone knows that he is the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace.

"Father-in-law, you're here."

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought the body back, but they were anxious and uneasy.

Gao Fuli saw that their expressions were heavy, and he knew that something was wrong.

Sure enough, he glanced at the corpse of the little six sons.

His death was very ugly, his eyes were round, his face was pale, and his mouth was open to reveal his curled tongue.

This horrific death alone was enough to frighten those timid palace maids and eunuchs.

Gao Fuli frowned: "Have you seen anyone from Tai Hospital?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, the minions don't dare to call the shots, and they are still waiting for the queen to speak."

Gao Fuli glanced at him, only to feel that this person was quite clever.

"Let the people from the Tai Hospital take a look. There's got to be a problem. ”

Gao Fu's heart has already had a result, this little sixth son did not die of illness, but was poisoned.

Who is it? Why? The palace has been calm for many years, and no one dares to be unfavorable to the prince!

Don't they fear the queen anymore? How dare they?

After being examined by the people at the hospital, they came to the conclusion that it was poisoning.

Gao Fuli immediately ordered them to dissect the corpse to find out the cause of Xiao Liuzi's poisoning.

The people of the Internal Affairs Office carefully traced and recorded clearly what Xiao Liuzi had eaten, done, and even met in the past two days.

The eunuchs' diet has always been their own responsibility. The master has the pomp of the master, and the slave also has the rules of the slave.

Most of their food was given by their masters. It is said to be a reward, but in fact it is to eat the leftovers.

Xiao Liuzi eats and lives with everyone, and there is no problem.

However, someone remembered one thing, that is, Xiao Liuzi got a bowl of chicken soup last night.

It was given to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it was cooked by Aunt Zhulu herself.

This is indeed a clue...... However, Gao Welfare never expected that this matter would involve Zhulu.

Gao Fuli frowned, and returned to Cining Palace with a heavy heart.

He came and went for less than half an hour.

Meng Xilan didn't eat breakfast and waited for him to reply.

After Gao Fuli entered the hall, he first glanced at Zhulu, and when he saw that she was uneasy, he went to Niangniang to talk again.

He didn't hide it and told the truth.

Zhu Lu listened, and sure enough, his face changed. She shook her head and said softly and solemnly: "No, no, Niangniang, this thing is strange." ”

Meng Xilan's face turned cold.

Isn't that weird? Dare someone touch the prince!

Zhulu was too worried about immortality, and she didn't think that she was already suspicious for a while.

"Niangniang, the slave will not harm the prince!"

She realized it afterwards and knelt down beside Meng Xilan.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes to look at her, her eyes were complicated, but there was no doubt.

Of course she knew she wouldn't. Changsheng was taken care of by her, and she took care of everything.

"Zhulu, get up, I suspect that no one in this palace will doubt you." Meng Xilan's firm words made Zhulu's eyes glow with tears.

Gao Welfare is also secretly relieved.

A mother is a mother, and she will not lose her mind because of anger.

"Zhulu, the food you cook has always been forbidden for outsiders to interfere. It's your rule, and it's something that everybody knows. Meng Xilan groaned slightly, and then thought of one thing: "Xiao Lizi, you go to the Tai Womb right now and see if you can find the bowl of soup." ”

Zhulu only said: "Niangniang, you still don't believe in slaves? ”

Meng Xilan stretched out her hand and patted the back of her hand: "No, Zhulu, this palace wants to find out how those people framed you?" ”

Because Xiao Liuzi died, no one dared to touch the things in his room, for fear of touching the moldy head.

Gao Fuli personally went to inspect it, and sure enough, he found the soup bowl.

There is still residue in the bowl that can be taken back for inspection.

After several verifications, there was no problem with the food and well water in the Tai's womb, only the bowl of chicken soup contained highly poisonous.

It is indeed poisonous, and it is still an ordinary poison, but it is highly poisonous, called Soul Breaking Grass.

In this way, the source of the poison really came from chicken soup.

When Zhulu heard this, her face was as pale as paper with fright.

She was not afraid, but embarrassed, ashamed, and aggrieved...... Thousands of emotions all came together, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Meng Xilan's eyes were like ice, and she was silent for a while, before she smiled coldly: "Zhulu, it seems that this person not only wants to poison the crown prince, but also to separate the relationship between the palace and you!" ”

So smart, I don't know if it's killing two birds with one stone!

Zhu Lu gritted her teeth angrily: "Who is it?" Who is so bold? ”

Meng Xilan looked at Gao Fuli and saw that he was silent, so she deliberately asked, "You can tell me?" At present, how many people in this palace dare to be unfavorable to this palace? ”

Gao Fuli's eyebrows moved slightly, and he only said: "Back to Niangniang, the slave thought about it, but he really didn't think of a suspicious candidate." ”

Meng Xilan's fingertips tapped lightly on the table: "You didn't tell the truth. ”

Gao Fuli lowered his head: "Niangniang, to be honest, the slave feels that everyone in this palace is suspicious." ”

The queen has been in charge of the harem for many years, and no matter whether she is a newcomer or an old man, they are afraid of her.

Meng Xilan's expression stiffened slightly when she heard this, the corners of her mouth were hooked, and a sneer was revealed: "That's true,"

"Niangniang, judging from the clues in front of you, only by tracking down the chicken soup can you find the mastermind behind the scenes. But if you follow this clue, I'm afraid things will fall into a dead end! ”

Dead end...... It's bound to be a dead end.

Zhulu will never harm His Royal Highness the Prince.

Gao Fuli still remembers what Zhulu said to him. "Xiaolizi, we are all people who share the honor and disgrace with our master all our lives. Therefore, we can't and can't, live our own stable life like ordinary people. You're like this, and I'm at this age, so we don't ask for anything. I haven't said this to my mother, but I've only said it to you. Sometimes, I feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my child......"

Zhu Lu knelt down in front of Meng Xilan, bit her lip and said, "Niangniang, the slave maid definitely did not poison the prince, but since something has happened, Niangniang should take the slave and maid into custody." ”

This matter will soon spread throughout the six houses. Zhulu knows very well that until she finds the real murderer, she is the real murderer.

Zhu Lu felt scared just thinking about it, if it was the bowl of chicken soup last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not reward people, but drank it himself. So the person who died of poison today, is it His Highness?!

Meng Xilan's eyes sank when she heard this: "Don't think nonsense!" It's none of your business, you're just being targeted. Don't worry, this shrine won't let anyone lift a finger of you! ”

She turned her eyes to look at Gao Fuli: "Xiao Lizi, you have the most methods, you should know how to do it." ”

Gao Fuli looked at the master, then at the bamboo dew with red circles under his eyes, and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, even if the slave is trying his life, he has to find out who is making trouble!" ”

Harming the prince is already a heinous crime! Dare to frame Zhulu...... This is a personal vendetta.

There was actually a dead person in his palace, and he didn't know until he gave birth to the early dynasty.

He originally came to his mother's harem to ask for peace, but when he saw Aunt Zhulu avoiding it with red eyes, he couldn't help but ask: "Queen Mother, why is my aunt crying?" ”

Meng Xilan looked at Changsheng with a solemn face and said what happened last night.

Changsheng was taken aback when he heard this, and then got up and said, "Queen Mother, you won't be Aunt Zhulu who is suspicious, right?" ”

Not to mention that the chicken soup is poisonous, even if someone finds poison on the spot from Aunt Zhulu's body, he doesn't believe it.

Auntie won't hurt him! If she really has this heart, she has countless opportunities since she was a child!

Meng Xilan saw that he was emotional, so she waved her hand: "This palace does not suspect her, not now, and not in the future." You sit down first, it's not as simple as you think! ”

This is not simply framed, but framed and poisoned!

"Bamboo dew soup is the most exquisite, and the cumbersome process is needless to say. Every time she makes it, she has to taste it first, and she has to be satisfied. Also, the bowls and chopsticks used to serve the soup must also be boiled and sterilized. Finally, all the food that is to be eaten must be tested for poison with a silver needle! ”

Changsheng listened to the queen mother's words and fell silent.

Yes, from childhood to adulthood, his food, clothing and daily life are the most exquisite and demanding.

"Zhulu won't be so careless. But the soup bowl that the Internal Affairs Office got back was really poisonous! The catty in this is not one or two places. ”

Xu has experienced a lot over the years, and when he encounters a crisis, he can also calm down.

Meng Xilan thought about it, but felt that the most problematic thing was not that the chicken soup boiled by Zhulu was tampered with on the way, but the soup bowl.

Changsheng nodded suspiciously: "The queen mother is right. Aunt Zhulu is the most attentive person. ”

Meng Xilan saw him lower her eyebrows and pondered, and asked, "You have always liked the craftsmanship of bamboo dew the most, why did you lose your temper last night?" ”

She had a gut feeling in her heart that there would never be a problem with chicken soup, and that there was something else that was problematic.

Changsheng lowered his eyes slightly: "After returning to his mother, Erchen was a little emotional yesterday. ”

He didn't know if he had escaped. Maybe so......

"Queen Mother, did the son-in-law make my aunt sad?" Changsheng's tone contained a hint of guilt.

"Of course not. As long as you're okay, Zhulu's heart will be at ease. ”

"Mother, what should I do about this? Do you want your son to investigate this matter thoroughly? ”

Meng Xilan saw that his eyes were bright and fearless, so he said: "Don't interfere in this matter, from now on, your diet and daily life, this palace will send people to pay more attention." But for all the food and water you eat, someone must test the poison for you first! Also, I'm going to tell the emperor about this in person......"

Zhou Youchen has rarely asked about the affairs of the harem.

Because she didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, Meng Xilan deliberately kept the matter in her hands. But now, because of this confusing situation, there is no need to hide it.

Changsheng knew that the person the queen mother cared about the most was himself, so he nodded obediently.

When he walked out of the hall, he saw Zhulu standing in the shade of the tree, and Gao Fuli stood in front of her with his hands behind his back, with a serious face, whispering something.

Changsheng stepped over, and when Zhulu saw him coming, he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his tears.

"Your Highness......"

Gao Fu also bowed, took a few steps back, and made room to speak to them.

Changsheng sighed lightly: "I'm not good, standing here, why is my aunt crying?" ”

Zhulu shook her head with tears: "The slave is guilty." ”

Changsheng's tone turned sharp: "No, it's not wrong that my aunt is not guilty. Auntie, don't worry, with the queen mother and me, no one can wronged you! ”
