Gan Peilin wanted to ask Liu Rumei rhetorically, what can she do to investigate. She knew that Liu Rumei was referring to Jiang Yu.

But when the words came to his lips, they became: "Isn't my father in the palace at this time?" I'll know when I come back. ”

Liu Rumei shook her head again and again, her expression was solemn: "I'm afraid it's too late then." The person who came to deliver the letter told us several times, so that we could find a way...... Peilin, to tell you the truth, my eyelids are jumping when I get up in the morning, which is not a good sign. I always feel that something big is going to happen this time. ”

"Mrs. Sixth." Xiangping stepped on the wind under her feet and hurried over: "The people in the palace sent a carriage, saying that they wanted to pick up the eldest lady and enter the palace immediately." ”

"Enter the palace immediately?" Liu Rumei couldn't help but panic, and grabbed Xiangping's wrist: "Help me, I can't stand." ”

"Sixth aunt, don't worry, I'll take a look." Gan Peilin is about to go out.

"No, you can't." Liu Rumei hurriedly chased after her and stopped her: "I see that this menacing thing in the palace will not be a trivial matter." We haven't scratched our heads yet, so we might as well delay it first. Anyway, you've been sick for a few days and you've been unconscious. I simply continued to pretend to be asleep. It's not too late to wait for your father to come back from the court. And in this matter, you might as well ask someone to send a letter to the Metropolitan Governor. He's in the palace, so maybe he can help. ”

"No, ma'am." Xiang Ping's anxious face flushed: "Someone said that if the eldest lady is still unconscious, she will be carried directly into the palace to ask the imperial doctor for treatment." In short, there must be no delay for a moment, and people must be sent to the palace immediately. ”

"What?" Liu Rumei panicked, took two steps back, and sat down on the chair. "This does not bode well. You said that Wanyun's girl, Wenwen is quiet, what trouble can she cause? There's definitely something greasy in this. Shouldn't anyone be jealous of her favor, so this is a resort, right? ”

"Don't worry." Gan Peilin asked Crispy Core to bring her a bowl of water: "What is the situation, I have to enter the palace to see." Wanyun has a calm temperament and will never make a big mistake. Since this matter can be found in me, it must have something to do with me. You can wait for news in the house. Remember, no news is good news. ”

"......" Liu Rumei wanted to say something, her lips moved, but she only nodded.

Gan Peilin led Liulan into the palace and let the crispy core support it at home. After all, Liulan is bolder, if something happens, she can escape, and she can go out of the palace for help.

The carriage went straight to the deep palace and ran non-stop.

After a while, they arrived at the queen's Changning Palace.

In the Changning Palace, there is a strong bitter smell. Gan Peilin walked in, and his hairs stood up.

Just because the bitterness can't be concealed, it's the choking smell of blood.

"The courtier Gan Peilin was ordered to enter the palace, and I hope that my father-in-law will spread it." Gan Peilin saluted his father-in-law outside the door, and his heart jumped suddenly.

"No need, just come in." Xuanqi's voice was majestic and cold.

Through the door, Gan Peilin was shocked by this anger. It seems that the emperor is furious.

The inner chamberlain opened the door, but stopped Rulan.

Gan Peilin bowed slightly to her, and walked in quickly.

"Courtier...... Meet the emperor and the queen. Gan Peilin found that his father was actually in this area, and Wanyun knelt on the ground tremblingly, not even daring to look up at her.

"Gan Peilin, do you know this thing?" Xuanqi asked directly. The chamberlain presented a tray.

In the tray, it was the hollowed-out silver sachet that Gan Wanyun asked her for when she entered the palace.

Now, everything is like a string of beads, all connected.

"Peilin, this is not your thing, don't hide it from the emperor. Be honest and honest. Gan Yuntian added uneasily.

Gan Peilin picked up the sachet, looked at it carefully, sniffed the smell again, and frowned: "If you go back to the emperor, the sachet was given to Wanyun by the courtiers." Wanyun said that day that she wanted to give the queen a unique gift, so she asked the courtiers to find this. ”

"Okay, since you admit it, then don't blame me for not tolerating you." Xuan Qi glanced sideways at the inner chamberlain beside him.

The inner chamberlain was about to come forward to arrest Gan Peilin.

"Your Majesty, no, there must be something hidden in this." Wen Xinlan, who was on the sickbed, went to stop the emperor with a pale face: "Maybe Pei Lin himself doesn't know what's in this sachet." Besides, the concubine's own health is not good, and she can't be blamed for ......"

"Your Majesty, the queen, the courtiers are really scared, I don't know what is going on?" Gan Peilin knelt down and kowtowed, and then said: "This hollowed-out sachet is indeed purchased from the courtier's market. The spices in it are not concocted by courtiers. ”

"Oh?" Xuanqi was a little unconvinced. "You're saying it's yours, but the spices in it weren't made by you?"

"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded his head. "That's exactly what the courtiers mean."

"But before you came, I asked the Empress and Wanyun about this sachet, and they were sure that it smelled the same when you gave it. And the queen liked it very much, either wearing it on her body or hanging it from the head of the bed. Not a day has ever been out of sight. If someone really touched it, how could the queen not notice it. You'd better be honest and not quibble. ”

Gan Peilin straightened his back slightly, and his face was extremely solemn: "If the emperor doesn't believe in his courtiers, he can compare them." ”

Gan Peilin untied the sachet from himself: "These spices are blended by the same batch of courtiers. Whether there is a difference, please ask the master of the palace to know at a glance. ”

"Then you said that you didn't make it, why can't the queen and Wanyun tell the difference?"

"Your Majesty." Gan Peilin frowned and said: "The base of this spice is indeed from the hands of the courtiers, but someone added some powder from the ground of dangmen and saffron in it. Because the small bag wrapped in spices is very delicate, it does not contain a lot of powder. Therefore, some must be taken out before it can be filled in, and the stitches should have traces of being removed and sewn. No matter how seamless it is. The thread used for sewing must also be different from that used in the courtier's house. ”

Speaking of this, Gan Peilin stared at Gan Yuntian: "Father, do you remember that when you were young, your mother once taught Peilin to spin thread?" ”

"Remember for the Father." A glimmer of light flashed in Gan Yuntian's eyes: "Could it be that you used the thread at that time?" ”

"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded: "At that time, the thread had been placed for many years and had lost its luster. So the courtiers re-dyed. And the pigment used for dyeing the thread is also obtained by the courtiers boiling the branches and leaves, not to mention the yellow and brown, but also with the unique fragrance on the tree. After soaking in water, the color will fade slightly. It's not the same as today's sewing threads. ”

Gan Peilin kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, the courtiers dare to ask the emperor to test again." ”

Xuanqi listened to what she said, so he agreed.

After a while, the slaves and maids who made incense and the slaves who made silk were all summoned to Changning Palace for inspection respectively.

Sure enough, half of the thread of the sachet was used by Gan Peilin, but the thread of the seal was only the same color, but it was by no means dyed at one time.

And the ingredients of the incense powder do have two more than those described by Gan Peilin, and there is nothing wrong with the rest.

That's interesting.

"The sachet you made was opened and sewn on." Xuan Kurao thought about it and said, "It's very likely that you changed a thread to sew it yourself." Maybe it hasn't been dismantled at all! ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen can guarantee with his life, and Wechen's daughter will never make such a rebellious disadvantage. They are just daughters of the boudoir, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, knitting and embroidery, even if they know a little about fragrance, they will not be used to murder the emperor's heir. ”

"The Imperial Heir?" Gan Peilin looked at Wen Xinlan in horror: "Could it be that you are the queen's mother......"

Wen Xinlan was teary-eyed and grief-stricken.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers only learned at this time that the queen mother was pregnant, so how could she add these two things to the sachet for no reason?" Gan Peilin knelt to the queen's bed: "What's more, the queen's mother has always treated her courtiers very well, and she has also treated her third sister very well." It was too late for the courtiers and sisters to repay the queen's blessings and favors, so how could they have such a rebellious mind. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines really haven't done it. The concubine would never dare to do such a thing. Gan Wanyun's eyes were swollen when she was crying, and it was only at this time that she dared to raise her head and meet the emperor's eyes. My sister is right, my concubine and my sister have never done such a thing, Your Majesty, please be clear. ”

"Your Majesty, the addition of this incense powder is excellent, and there is no such thing in the courtier's mansion." Gan Peilin stared and said: "Spices are originally pleasant things, cultivating sentiments, calming emotions, and even smoking mosquitoes and repelling insects, but they must not be used to harm people." Pei Lin's skill was inherited from his mother, and his mother had never used such a cold thing as a doorman, which was extremely damaging to a woman's body, how could Pei Lin use it. ”

"That's right." Xuanqi said solemnly: "I have asked, such a good person is also hard to find." After all, just hanging on the body every day can damage the fetus, and the power of the medicine is indeed not light. ”

Turning to look at Gan Yuntian, Xuan Qi said solemnly: "I don't know if Da Sima Ke is willing to let me go to Gan Mansion to check?" ”

That's what it means to search the house.

Although Gan Yuntian was reluctant, he still nodded.

In order to prove the innocence of Wechen's family, Wechen is willing. Please ask the emperor to order a search of Gan's house. ”

Gan Peilin also echoed: "Please ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly." ”

"Very good." Xuan Qi turned his head to the inner chamberlain beside him and said, "Don't go yet." ”

The matter of searching the house should not be underestimated. If you don't pay attention to it, you may give birth to other messes. And this time, Gan Peilin had already learned the news from Jiang Yu early in the morning. The painting that was burned by the brittle core, and the bracelet with a silver lock, didn't they just reveal to her that the queen was pregnant!

But at this time, she still couldn't understand who was taking the queen's children and wanting their sisters' lives.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are a little tired......" Wen Xinlan's voice was weak.

Xuanqi hurriedly pulled her into his arms: "Sleep." ”

Raising his eyes and looking at the three of Ganfu's father and daughter, Xuan Qi couldn't help frowning: "Come on, take the father and daughter of Da Sima to the side hall first." The news was sent to the palace for further discussion. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gan Yuntian knows that this is house arrest.

The emperor will never allow them to send news back to their homes at this time.

"The courtiers retired." Gan Peilin got up and walked over to help Gan Wanyun.

Gan Wanyun's kneeling leg was numb for a long time, and it was not easy to get up and follow her down.

"This is just the beginning. Sister, don't be afraid. After all, it's futile, isn't it? ”
