Sister, today's incident made him have to stand in front of people, especially in front of the emperor.

He is in charge of the Criminal Department, if he doesn't come to the banquet today, forget it, unless the emperor spreads it, he can secretly investigate the matter.

But not now, others are not only in the palace, but also close to the imperial concubine, and he can't be regarded as not knowing about this matter in public or private.

Moreover, knowing that it is not enough to listen to it, he still has to have his own opinion, but not too much.

Otherwise, he is in charge of the Criminal Division of the Criminal Department, and if he doesn't know anything, he will still be in charge.

But you can't know too much, otherwise what would you want the emperor to do?

That's why he said that the person who designed this design is really a good strategy, this is killing multiple birds with one stone!

If you can use this to get rid of the imperial concubine and the maiden family behind her, it is best to do so, if not, it is also in the emperor's heart, and it will be difficult for the imperial concubine to be favored like in the past.

King Ping is not in the capital, but he is the son of the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine has fallen out of favor, and King Ping can have a good benefit?

King Yi is even more so, a person who is not treated by the emperor in the first place, and now I am afraid that the emperor will not even want to see him.

As for himself, he was just a dispensable person in the court, but as soon as this incident came out, he had to stand up. If he doesn't know anything, the emperor and the courtiers will only treat him as a real little white face, and then he will have no prestige when he speaks in the court in the future. And after what he said just now, he bet on the soles of his feet that the emperor would let him join in the investigation of the matter.

Then the question also comes, this thing is not something that can be touched casually, is it an ordinary person who poisons the palace?

I found out, offended a bunch of people, I can't find out, hehe, it's the same as asking three questions.

It's about putting him in a dilemma.

Sure enough, the emperor's face softened: "Little Nineteen, you are the head of the Criminal Department, and the matter of Xiao Sixteen's poisoning is very important, I have been handed over to the King of Jin for thorough investigation, and you will assist from the side." ”

"This 。。。。。。 Your Majesty, as we all know in the world, the relationship between the minister and the imperial concubine and the second brother is very good, and if you let the minister assist, I am afraid that it will 。。。。。。 ”

The emperor waved his palm: "I believe in you." ”

Hehe, Xin, I also want to see what he is capable of, and then see if he really colludes with his second brother, right?

Should he be honored?

If others were as close as he and his second brother, they would have been classified as a party long ago, but the emperor is only suspicious of him now.

[What Midnight didn't know was that the emperor didn't believe in him, but he didn't want to believe it but had to admit it: Since the establishment of the Xian Wangfu, there has never been a person who has formed a party for personal gain, and no Xian Wang has never joined the party struggle.

So for midnight, for private or official reasons, he will be more or less tolerant. 】

"Yes, Your Honor."

&

King Jin acted quickly, and as early as after receiving the order, he had already taken down all the people related to this matter.

Since the lotus seeds entered Beijing, the people related to these lotus seeds, even those outside the palace, have been arrested. In the palace, even more, as long as you have touched this batch of lotus seeds in the imperial dining room, all of them are imprisoned.

The lotus seed soup that Ran Ran ate was not made in the imperial dining room, but the imperial concubine's own small kitchen, so the imperial concubine's palace also arrested a lot of people, the focus was on the small kitchen, everyone was detained, and the person who handled the lotus seed soup.

In the dungeon of the palace, there are two full cells that can hold hundreds of people, one eunuch and one palace maid, and a large area of black pressure.

When Midnight and King Jin came, although there were many people in the prison, it was silent.

The people in the palace did not know that they were imprisoned in the dungeon, and it was futile to shout about wrongs, and there was nothing else but to accept their fate.

It didn't take Midnight and King Jin to interrogate anything, but this matter was very important, and both of them coincidentally thought of interrogating this in person.

One person asked about the case room, and one by one the eunuchs and palace maids brought in.

As far as the status of Midnight and King Jin is concerned, these palace maids and eunuchs are all looking up to the existence, unless they have excellent quality in their hearts, it can be said that they don't need to ask to say anything.

Moreover, which are the key people and which are just routine interrogations, Midnight and King Jin have a number in their hearts, let's go through a process, let everyone see how dedicated they are.

The meaning was dragged in and pulled out one by one, and it wasn't until Gui Lian, the personal palace maid of the imperial concubine, that she came to the interest of asking questions in the middle of the night. Originally, he was just sitting here, and the people who asked questions were Nightshade.

This Gui Lian is the only personal palace maid next to the imperial concubine, the grade of the imperial concubine, it stands to reason that there can be four close palace maids, but the imperial concubine is low-key This is one of them, and the other is that she doesn't believe in others, after all, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace are all assigned by the queen, who knows if it is a person or a ghost inside?

Gui Lian is different, Gui Lian is the daughter of the imperial concubine or the personal maid when she was a young lady at home, her mother was one of the imperial concubines' indemnities at the time, and later married a Praetorian Guard, but the luck was not very good, the Praetorian Guard was promoted to deputy captain and demoted her mother to a concubine, and then married the captain's daughter as a wife.

Gui Lian is the same age as King Ping, both are twenty-nine years old, and she has been with the imperial concubine for nearly twenty years, longer than her mother has been with the imperial concubine.

If it is said that Gui Lian betrayed the imperial concubine, Midnight is ten thousand people who don't want to believe it.

But how can people say this thing accurately, otherwise how can there be the origin of the phrase 'knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts'?

"The lotus seed soup was served to the imperial concubine by you?"

"Yes, it's a slave."

"The whole process was not done by anyone else? The lotus seed soup in the middle hasn't left your sight? ”

"Back to the nineteenth master, no." After a pause, Gui Lian exclaimed in recollection: "Yes, yes, Nineteen Masters." Today, Guixiang somehow ate her stomach badly, and the slave maid came with a food box and ran into Guixiang when she didn't leave the Star Palace.

She was in a hurry, and when she saw the slave maid, she rushed over and said to the slave maid that she did not have a linen cloth on her body [the palace maid used to wipe that or something when she went to the toilet, and it can be reused after cleaning], so the slave and maid carried the food box to her first, and went back to the room to get a new one to borrow her. ”

Cinnamon?

Midnight had no impression: "Guixiang is also the palace maid in the Star Palace?" ”

"Yes, Guixiang has been in the Star Palace for more than four years, and she is working in the laundry pavilion, she is very timid, and she usually does her duty." After all, Gui Lian is familiar with Midnight, and her answer is quite calm.

In the harem, large pieces of clothes and quilts will be sent to the Huanyi Bureau, and the underwear of each master is naturally impossible to hand over to the Huanyi Bureau.

Therefore, each palace is a small laundry pavilion, the name is full of good sounds, in fact, it is a small courtyard dedicated to washing clothes, in which there is generally a palace maid or a palace maid and a eunuch, all of whom are coolies.

This is known at night, but the important thing is: "The laundry pavilion is in the corner of the first palace, Guixiang is in charge of the laundry pavilion, you send the food box out of the Star Palace, how can you meet \/ her?" ”

It's either Gui Lian who is lying or that there is something wrong with Gui Xiang.
