As a newcomer who has just entered the palace, Xuan Concubine may not be able to accept the twists and turns in this palace for a while, Xu Xiangjin thinks that she is also a person who has come over, in her opinion, instead of going out to toss and look at people's faces, it is better to stay in her own yard honestly and be cleaner!

There are so many new and old people in this palace, and the man's heart changes so fast, and he can't keep it and fall in love with someone else, just like Zhanqing, even if the two of them love each other like this, but when facing some things, they will inevitably have to make awkward troubles.

Of course, Xu Xiangjin's Buddhist character is not something that anyone can learn, and when Xu Xiangjin thought that Concubine Xuan finally stopped making trouble, the news of her hanging came out.

"What!" Xu Xiangjin stood up when she heard the news, "She is really too breathless, if she dies like this, she will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the emperor, why are they so worry-free?" ”

Regardless of whether she would be led into trouble, Xu Xiangjin hurried to Changchun Palace in a hurry, and happened to meet Queen Yuan who was reprimanding the palace maid of Changchun Palace.

It turned out that the reason why Concubine Xuan couldn't hold her breath and wanted to commit suicide was not because she fell out of favor, let alone because she couldn't get out of Changchun Palace here, it was because I don't know when it started, a rumor began to circulate in the palace, saying that the child born by Concubine Xuan was a demon, and Concubine Xuan must have been possessed by something strange, so she was so unlucky one after another.

After this suicide of Concubine Xuan, it was originally a matter in secret, but it was brought to the surface, and it naturally easily reached Zhan Qing's ears, which made Zhan Qing, who was a little anxious, even more angry, and deliberately picked out time to gather all the palace concubines together.

"I think you are already very clear about what has happened in the palace recently, since the rumors can spread so much, presumably everyone here has also connived at the subordinates, from today onwards I will arrange someone to thoroughly investigate this matter, it is best not to let me hear that someone is chewing the root of the tongue again, otherwise, when the time comes, I will be sent to the Punishment Division as the culprit, no matter who it is, I will not tolerate it."

Everyone here is not a ghost, naturally they have made a lot of efforts for this rumor, and now the emperor suddenly said this, and they were all frightened, for fear that they would be involved.

But after all, she still has the guts to be fat, Queen Yuan was already excited to see the jokes, how could she be willing to let it end there, so in a quiet environment, she was the only one who couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has been praying in front of the Buddha recently, but the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, obviously the concubine was so healthy before, how could the child suddenly die, could it be that the concubine rushed into something unclean, it is really an obstacle to good luck, and the concubine wants to hang herself It should not be nonsense, after all, she is a mother, she must especially want to see her child, Your Majesty, otherwise it will fulfill her!"

Yo, there are even people who persuade people to die, but now Xu Xiangjin stopped doing it, and simply stopped being silent.

"Queen Mother, it's not the first time that a child has died in this palace, how can you pull out so much mess, in my opinion, Concubine Xuan is at most a little emotionally unstable recently, and she is afraid that she will be implicated when she hears the news, so she will be confused and hang herself for a while, just now the concubine has already gone to see her, and Concubine Xuan has already sobered up."

The queen didn't expect Xu Xiangjin to refute her in public, the emperor didn't seem to have any intention on her side, and he was extremely angry for a while, and he no longer cared about Zhan Qing still by his side.

"Pity the concubine, if you say so, if the concubine encounters such a thing like this in the palace, and can't give birth to the prince smoothly, do you have to commit suicide?"

At first, the queen just impulsively wanted to teach Xu Xiangjin a lesson, but at this time, Liu Er suddenly pulled her shirt behind without knowing anything.

"Niangniang, now is a great time, while everyone is here, Niangniang can add fuel to the fire, and push the responsibility to the poor concubine, it just so happens that the queen mother has long been prejudiced against the poor concubine because of the previous incident, and now in the queen mother's opinion, the harem has already become a messy place because of the successive accidents of the heirs, as long as we dial a little bit, and then we will definitely investigate thoroughly!"

I have to say that Liu Er sees the situation in the palace very clearly, so she can give such a pertinent suggestion, what the Queen Mother wants now is such a proposal, for fear that the emperor will refuse again, and immediately began to order spot checks, but the first thing to search is the Yong'an Palace where Xu Xiangjin is located.

Originally, everyone's eyes were attracted to Yong'an Palace, but at this time, there was another incident, because in the evening, a eunuch sneaked out of Changchun Palace with a pot of charcoal fire, and he had to pick a place where no one was around, which attracted the attention of the queen's subordinates who stayed at the gate of Changchun Palace, so he ordered someone to stop him.

No, they immediately sent him and the charcoal fire to the Jingren Palace where they gathered.

"Your Majesty, the concubine originally sent someone to guard Concubine Xuan, worried that something would happen to her, but I didn't expect to see this person sneakily come out with a charcoal fire, and stopped him for a moment of suspicion, only to find that the carbon fire in his hand was wrong, so I specially asked you to take a look."

Although the carbon fire was not burning, it had a strange smell, and the queen had already asked people to call the imperial doctor, and now, in front of everyone, the imperial doctor began to check the carbon fire.

"Back to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the words of all the mothers..." There are too many masters sitting here, and the doctor doesn't know how to salute, so he can't help but wipe his sweat.

Fortunately, now everyone is more concerned about the result, no one cares how he salutes, and under the anxious waiting of everyone, he finally slowly spoke with a piece of charcoal.

"This carbon fire contains the ingredients of cinnabar, and cinnabar contains mercury, mercury is easy to volatilize after heating, and mercury is toxic, but this alone will not lead to premature birth, the minister gave Concubine Xuan Niangniang's pulse, and determined that the poisoning has been deep, and the minister boldly guessed that there may be a problem with the diet."

This has a bit of an eyebrow, Zhan Qing, you can ask people to go to the imperial dining room to search, from the dark fragrance of Changchun Palace, I learned that Xuan Concubine especially likes to eat fish and shrimp when she is happy, so they focused on investigating the fish and shrimp, and only then did they find that the fish and shrimp that were specially provided for Xuan Concubine before were all dead, and they were basically thrown away, and only a little fish food was left in the corner that had not had time to dispose of it.

Everyone took the fish food to the hospital for a test, and sure enough, cinnabar was found in it, so it can be decided that the culprit is cinnabar now, and now the time of the accident has not been long, and that person should not have had time to completely dispose of the cinnabar, so before the emperor spoke, the queen had already hurriedly ordered people to search the palaces.

Probably not even a stick of incense had passed, and a palace maid hurried over with something and knelt in the main hall.

"Queen Mother, the slave maid found a box of cinnabar under a certain master's dresser, and asked Her Majesty to take a look!"

Liu Er quickly took the box of cinnabar first, and the queen smelled it and pretended to be very puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the concubine always feels that the smell on this box is a little familiar, but I really can't remember it, otherwise Your Majesty, you can smell it and see if the concubine smelled wrong."

Although Zhan Qing felt that something was wrong, he didn't think about it at a deeper level, he just asked Yan Kang to bring the cinnabar box, when the cinnabar box just approached, Zhan Qing had a bad premonition, after smelling it, the expression on his face was even more ugly, and he looked at Xu Xiangjin incredibly, hesitating whether to speak?

"Oh, I seem to have suddenly remembered, this smell smells very similar to agarwood, but there are not many people who use agarwood in this palace, it seems that there is only pity for the concubine..."

Queen Yuan was afraid that Xu Xiangjin would shield Xu Xiangjin, so she hurriedly couldn't wait to say it.

Xu Xiangjin was completely confused, why did this matter happen to herself again, how could she prepare something like cinnabar, and how could she not find something under the dresser, unless someone put it there early.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, in fact, there is something that the slave doesn't know whether to talk about or not..."The palace maid who sent the cinnabar box was still kneeling on the ground, and seemed to be in a hurry.

"Say!"

The Queen Mother was the first to speak.

"When the slave maid went to search Yong'an Palace, the palace maid Shuang'er of Yong'an Palace stopped her in every possible way, and the slave maid just saw that her face was not normal, so she entered the house of the concubine, and then discovered the secret under the dresser."

After all, Xu Xiangjin was not present at the time, so she could only let her talk nonsense, and she didn't know how to refute it at all.

"Come on, bring the frost from Yong'an Palace."

The Queen Mother seemed to be eager to convict her of this crime, and she had been silent before, but this meeting became more talkative.

"Queen Mother, sign in, wait a while and pass on the frost, now you need to pity the concubine and recognize another person!"

Just like the last time she was punished to kneel in Jingren Palace, Xu Xiangjin didn't have to think about her face to know what would happen next, and sure enough, a trembling eunuch was brought in.

"This person is the father-in-law of Yong'an Palace, who is responsible for food and clothing, and he is also responsible for raising fish and shrimp for the concubines in the imperial dining room, and he knows some things better than us."

Gao Gonggong suddenly knelt down, and the whole person fell to the ground, trembling like sifting chaff, "Yes... Be... It's the cinnabar that the concubine asked the slaves to feed those fish and shrimp! ”
