Chapter 680: Palace Maiden Xianglan

I will interrogate slowly later, and if I want to say that this matter must have nothing to do with Zhang An.

Xiao Man kept looking at Zhang Yu's eyes, and only saw that Zhang Yu was very calm and not afraid at this time, so Xiao Man concluded that the murderer who poisoned must have left the scene, if he hadn't left the scene, then Zhang Yu would not have been so calm.

Lu Li naturally understood Xiao Man's thoughts, so he asked people to bring all the people who had come into contact with the emperor's drinking utensils.

The Imperial Forest Army also acted very quickly, and after a while, they checked more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids, all of whom were people who had been in contact with the emperor's drinking utensils, only to see that after these eunuchs and palace maids were arrested, Zhang Yu obviously had a panicked look, Xiao Man was sure that the person who poisoned him must be someone Zhang Yu knew, and he had not left the palace yet, so he was mixed in this pile of people.

"The emperor seems to have been poisoned, although he was rescued, but murdering the emperor is a big crime of the nine clans, if you don't want to take it, hurry up and tell who the murderer is?"

Lu Li said very fiercely at this time, but this group of minions had never seen any big scenes, and they only dared to squat on the ground and tremble at this time, not daring to say a word, which made Lu Li also very helpless, and he didn't know what to do to ask the words.

"I asked you, didn't you hear everything, hurry up and confess, who poisoned the wine, otherwise I will kill you all!"

Hearing that Lu Li was going to kill them all, these eunuchs and palace maids were naturally afraid, since they wanted to survive, they had to tell the truth, but they didn't know who poisoned the emperor's wine, so they accused each other at this time.

Lu Li was also very irritable when he saw them arguing, so he asked them to shut up, and his eyes kept looking at them, to say that Lu Li found a particularly strange little girl in the crowd, others were in a hurry to push the crime on others, and this little girl just knelt quietly in front of Lu Li and didn't say a word.

So Lu Li pointed at the girl and asked.

What is your name?

I saw this little girl bow her head and say.

My name is Pandan.

Pandan, how old are you?

I'm thirteen years old.

Lu Li nodded.

Entered the palace at the age of thirteen, it seems that it is not an easy child, it should be that the family is too poor, so he will be sold to the palace by his parents to be a slave, but I don't know why, although this pandan is pure and lovely, but Lu Li always feels that she is a little inconsistent, as if the flashing light in her eyes is not so simple.

Lu Li only hopes that the feeling in his heart is wrong, otherwise such a young child will go astray, which will make people sad to watch.

Xiao Man always felt that when Xianglan was talking to Lu Li, Lord Zhang Yu always peeked at Xianglan with his eyes, Xiao Man pondered for a moment, and always felt that Xianglan seemed to have an inextricable relationship with Lord Zhang Yu, so he was particularly serious about Xianglan.

"Xianglan, where were you when your father-in-law served wine to the emperor just now?"

I only saw that Xianglan listened to Xiaoman's question, and replied directly in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Mrs. Huilu, I'll help with things in the imperial dining room."

When Xiao Man saw Xianglan's reaction, he was even more suspicious of her, to say that an ordinary thirteen-year-old little palace maid, facing the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and herself, a first-class lady, how could she be so calm, plus the emperor was assassinated, if ordinary palace people encountered it, they would be panicked.

I only saw the kneeling next to her, all of them were as pale as dirt, just like she was fine, Xiaoman felt that she was really a little too calm, but exposed herself, since it was the target of Xianglan, it was not too late to slowly find out her flaws in the future.

So at this time, Su Xiaoman waited outside the emperor's dormitory to see if there was any news coming, if Ah Yue had detoxified the emperor, it should be no big deal, but he was worried that if Zhang An and the others were doing something bad and the emperor would die tonight, then they would have no way to deal with it.

In addition, Liniang was not by her side at this time, and she really didn't know what to do for a while.

After a while, the eunuch in charge next to the emperor walked out and said to Su Xiaoman.

Mrs. Lu, the emperor has woken up, he asked the ministers to go home to rest first, his health is much better now, as for the maid next to you, she has a meritorious role in saving the car today, and when the emperor is better, the emperor will naturally reward her.

Hearing him say this, Su Xiaoman's heart also let go, as long as the emperor is sober, it is already very good.

So she went back to the Lu Mansion, and if she wanted to talk about tonight's events, it was really panicked, and she didn't know what method they used, so she didn't know that the ghost had poisoned the emperor's wine glass.

Su Xiaoman recalled that the emperor wanted to reward himself with a glass of wine at that time, but fortunately he was not very comfortable tonight, so he didn't drink that glass of wine, if he drank it with the emperor, wouldn't he also be poisoned, plus his body was already relatively weak as a woman, maybe he couldn't survive Ah Yue to save himself, and he would die in Huangquan.

After going back, Xiaoman naturally told Liniang about it, and Liniang walked around the room with a very solemn expression.

"Senior Liniang, what do you think of this matter?"

"They have already started to do it, I didn't expect them to be so rampant and dare to attack the emperor directly."

Li Niang tapped her fingers on the table, and after a moment, she said.

"But I always feel that Zhang An's method of assassinating the emperor is too obvious."

Xiaoman thought about it, what was indeed going on, Li Niang told her before, Zhang An is one of the three wise minds in the world, how could he use such a flamboyant method to directly poison the emperor's diet, if the emperor pays a little attention today, this method will not be attacked, with his resourcefulness, he should not choose such a risky method, and the success rate is not guaranteed.

"Senior Liniang, could it be that Zhang An is just using a trick to confuse us now?"

Li Niang nodded, this is what he was worried about, to say that Zhang An is a resourceful person like him, if she stood in Zhang An's position tonight and made the same plan, he would never choose to assassinate the emperor by poisoning him like this.

Li Niang sighed, but he never thought of what Zhang An's real purpose was.

Seeing Liniang so worried, her face was already tired, thinking that it was already late at night, anyway, this assassination had failed, and the emperor would inevitably be vigilant for a while, and the emperor's life was saved, so there was no need to worry too much.

So the idea is that Xiaoman persuaded Li Niang.

"Senior Liniang, why don't you sleep first, rest well, let's find a way again, it's not too late."

Li Niang looked at the sky, it was already full of stars outside, and she thought that she was indeed a little tired, so she listened to Su Xiaoman's words and went to bed early.

On the first day, Liniang gave Su Xiaoman a task, since Su Xiaoman had found out that something was wrong with the palace maid named Xianglan yesterday, he naturally wanted to investigate today.

So Su Xiaoman then went into the palace to visit the queen's excuse, and entered the palace smoothly, to say that she asked around to find out that this pandan was indeed working in the imperial dining room, so she found a little eunuch and gave him some silver, so that he could give this pandan to herself.

When the little eunuch saw this silver, he naturally smiled, and immediately went to the imperial dining room to call out this pandan, to say that pandan arrived in front of Su Xiaoman, Su Xiaoman looked at her at close range, and found that although she was a sister-in-law, she also looked very cute, but there was no smile on her face, she looked cold, not at all like a thirteen-year-old girl, but a little precocious.

"Mrs. Lu is well."

Seeing that she was so polite, Xiao Man really couldn't bear to think that she would be the murderer who poisoned the emperor.

Xiao Man smiled at her and said to her.

"Miss Xianglan, I'm quite interested in what happened last night, why don't we find a place to talk?"

Xianglan glanced at Su Xiaoman, and only replied after a while.

"Mrs. Lu, there are still a lot of things waiting for the slaves and maids to do in the imperial dining room, if I don't go back, the chief manager should talk about me."

When Su Xiaoman heard this, he felt that this girl didn't look so simple, her scheming was very mature, she knew that she was here to ask, and she didn't want to give them the opportunity to be alone, so Su Xiaoman could only delay time and chat with her about family life.

I only saw a sachet pinned to this pandan waist, Su Xiaoman was very interested, and reached out to touch this sachet, this pandan saw that Su Xiaoman liked this sachet, so naturally she didn't hide it too much, so she took off the sachet and put it in Su Xiaoman's hand.

"The slave likes to do some needlework since she was a child, although she can't compare to the show girl in the palace, she can be regarded as able to handle it, since Mrs. Lu likes it, this sachet will be given to Mrs. Lu."

Xiao Man looked at this sachet, it was indeed very delicate, and there were some floral patterns embroidered on it.

"What kind of flowers are embroidered on this?"

Just looked at Xianglan and replied.

"It's embroidered with epiphany."

Xiaoman felt a little strange, to say that it is common to embroider mandarin ducks or embroider some plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums on the sachet, and I don't know why this sachet is embroidered with epiphany.

"Do you like epiphany?"

Xianglan blushed slightly and said to Xiaoman.

"It's not that I like it, it's just a person I admire, who likes to be a little bit old."

After hearing this, Xiao Man nodded thoughtfully, thinking that it was just a thirteen-year-old girl, and there was already some love at this time, but things like emotions are all human talents, and there is nothing unusual

Xiao Man put the sachet in his hand again and looked at it carefully, and finally made Xiao Man realize that something was wrong.
