Something did happen.

Liu Yan can tell.

The Yilan Hall was as lively as when she left, with people talking, laughing, drinking tea, and ...... Together, blushing and thick-necked, I don't know what to do.

It looks like it's business as usual.

Even Empress Cao sat there and didn't move.

It's just that when she saw Liu Yan enter the hall, Queen Cao quickly raised her head and glanced at her, and then gently beckoned her hand to signal Liu Yan to come over.

Liu Yan also walked over casually and sat down next to Queen Cao.

Emperor Cao* stopped her hand, and the palm of that hand was full of cold sweat, wet and cold.

What's going on?

Liu Yan silently shook Queen Cao's hand, the mother and daughter sat for about a quarter of an hour, Queen Cao got up to change her clothes, and Liu Yan helped her out.

When she arrived in the apse, Empress Cao breathed a long sigh of relief, grabbed Liu Yan's hand and tightened it tightly, holding it for a long moment before slowly letting go.

"Queen Mother, what's wrong?" Liu Yan asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Empress Cao took a deep breath: "It's okay......"

Liu Yan quietly leaned beside Empress Cao and didn't ask.

After a long while, Empress Cao spoke: "There is nothing serious, but the tea room found that the tea leaves are a little inappropriate, and I am afraid that you will drink it by mistake." ”

"Tea in Yilan Palace?"

Can anyone put his hand into the Yilan Palace?

So what other places in this palace are safe?

Empress Cao took Liu Yan in her arms, and when she thought of Yingluo quietly going back and forth just now, saying that someone might have moved her hands and feet in the tea, Queen Cao came out in a cold sweat on her back at that time.

It is difficult to make any mistakes in Yilan Hall in ordinary times, but it is an exception during the New Year's Festival. Especially when the wives and relatives of the clan will enter the palace to receive the banquet, these princesses, princesses of the county, ladies, and the people they bring are really chaotic and numerous. In addition, the manpower that Yilan Hall usually has to use is not enough now, so I have to temporarily draw some more people to help, which leads the way to serve tea, these people are not necessarily familiar with each other, which gives people the opportunity to exploit loopholes.

The tea drunk during the New Year is different from usual, and the tea that is usually drunk is clear tea, strong tea, milk tea, fruit tea, etc., and the New Year pays attention to auspiciousness, and the tea drunk is particular, which usually has various ingredients, dried fruits, and brown sugar, and boils it with boiling water for a while and a half.

Liu Yan thinks this is still called tea? It's so sweet and thick that it's almost soupy.

That's why she doesn't like to drink.

Just now, Yingluo said back and forth that there was a problem with the tea, and Empress Cao was the first to look at Liu Yan's position.

No matter how fair she usually behaves, the first thing she thinks of at this time is her own children.

found that Liu Yan was not in the position, and Queen Cao couldn't wait for a moment and immediately ordered someone to look for it. At the same time, he hurriedly asked people to go to the emperor to report the news, beware of someone there also doing it.

She was afraid that Liu Yan had drunk tea just now, even if it was only one sip. Or, she might go to the side hall or apse, where she had tea.

I'm afraid that something has happened to my daughter in a place where she can't see.

Thankfully, she's fine.

Queen Cao said to herself over and over again, fortunately, her daughter is fine.

Liu Yan said softly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I'm fine." I haven't touched that tea, you know, I don't usually like to drink this kind of miscellaneous things, and today's tea is extraordinarily thick, so I didn't move. ”

Empress Cao nodded: "Okay, I didn't touch it." ...... later"

In the future, this tea will not be served.

If it is clear tea, it must be more difficult to take medicine. There are a lot of things in this tea, it is sugar and fruit, and there used to be a way to pour some sesame oil into it, and the poison has a peculiar smell and can't taste it, which is easy to make people do tricks.

"There are people in and out of the teahouse, and there are too many people entering the palace today, so it's really hard to check." Empress Cao calmed down, and then said: "The tea has been checked by the people from the Tai Hospital, but there are more than one or two people who have entered the tea room today. ”

Not only the palace people and eunuchs have been in and out, but even the slaves and maids who are waiting for the masters to enter the palace today have also been there.

The people in the palace are easy to handle, and there is no problem with how to interrogate and investigate when they are detained, but these people who follow into the palace are different. This matter should not be made public, and these people cannot be suppressed in a big way.

Maybe it was precisely because of this that the person who started did it was because he thought of this that he had the courage to act in the Yilan Palace, and it was easy to fish in troubled waters.

"Has anyone drunk tea by mistake?"

"Fortunately, it was found in time, only the wife of the Marquis of Jianhuan took a sip."

said that she took a sip, but in fact, she only took a shallow sip, and Empress Cao asked her to invite Mrs. Jianhuan Hou to go down to rest, staring at her, and so far she has not come to report that there is anything unusual about Mrs. Jianhuanhou, that is, there is no poisoning.

Thank goodness for that.

Now Empress Cao feels that the New Year is sad.

The year before last, the Chinese New Year Zhu died violently, and there was no man-made disaster in the New Year, but there were natural disasters, and the palace also cut the use, and the year was not festive.

This year, there was an incident of poisoning in the Yilan Palace, if it was not discovered in time, and the people who entered the palace today to drink the poisoned tea were allowed to drink, it would not be one or two who had an accident.

"What do you think, Queen Mother?"

Empress Cao was distracted just now and didn't hear what she said.

Liu Yan repeated again: "E-Niang, do you think it will have something to do with the assassin last time?" ”

Empress Cao also felt like it.

Poisoned in the tea, no matter who drinks it, they will be hit, and the people who come today are either relatives of the emperor or important ministers, and their status is valuable, if they fall a large piece, then the trouble will be big, and it will be difficult to clean up.

This kind of thing can be done by the remnants of the former dynasty who are mad.

If the queen and princess are poisoned, then eighty percent of those people can wake up laughing in their dreams.

"The people in this palace have not been purged once or twice, but these people just can't be investigated and killed." No matter how generous Queen Cao is, she doesn't have any compassion when it comes to these people.

These people not only have bows, arrows, knives and guns, but also poison and spies.

Few people know about what happened in Yilan Palace, and the palace banquet can be regarded as a safe and peaceful past.

Although the people who follow up the palace today cannot be detained, the number of people each person can bring in is limited, no matter how pomp they have in their own house, each person can only bring one person to serve when they enter the palace. Even if these people are okay today, their names are all written down, and sooner or later they will always find out one by one.

Mrs. Jianhuan Hou is already in her fifties, she also lived a poor life in her early years, and she worked hard, although she is now Mrs. Hou, pampered, her body is quite healthy, and she doesn't need to be supported by a maid when she walks.

Until she left the palace safely, there was no sign of poisoning.

Someone from the hospital reported that the poison test in the tea had been detected.

The poison is powerful, but fortunately it is not much. In the tea, it is impossible to go down one and a half catties at a time, and it is impossible to hide so many poisons from others and bring them into the palace.
