Jiuyu couldn't calm down for a long time when she returned home, and came to the room that was still well preserved, looking at the rouge gouache neatly placed on the makeup, as well as gold and silver jewelry, as if the wedding banquet was still yesterday.

The color of the box of lipstick paper is still very bright, Jiuyu gently touched it with her fingers, the red smeared on her fingertips, Jiuyu frowned, if this lipstick paper is not in contact with water, how can it turn red?

She looked up at the birdcage on the makeup, the bird that Bixiang raised in the past was also dead, and it had long been buried, and on one side was Ruyi on the day of marriage, which was still so thorough and free of impurities.

"Miss, why are you here again?"

"Red Sleeves, do you remember what the congratulatory gift was from the Confucian nobles that day?"

"I only remember that there is a Ruyi, and the others are nothing special, the Ruyi is crystal clear, and it is a good jade at a glance, but it is not the same as the ordinary jade, the jade is not inlaid with gold, but inlaid with silver."

Jiuyu tried hard to recall that day, it was all changed to Ruyi, if so, poisoning Ruyi can be said to be unaware.

"The wishful thinking of that day is the wishful thinking we prepared."

"Exactly, I couldn't find it at first, and I was anxious for a while, when my aunt said that it was better to use the silver inlaid Ruyi, and the tide dye said that the inlaid silver was not good, so I still tried to find it, and then I found the gold and jade Ruyi in front of the window, fortunately, there was no danger."

Jiu Yu sighed, since it was something that didn't use her, then it was impossible for her to do it, and how could this silver-inlaid Ruyi be poisoned, as soon as the silver product is poisoned, it will turn black, this is common sense, could it be that the Confucian nobles are just to poison, in order to clear up suspicions, to send such a Ruyi? So why was that wishful thinking lost and regained?

"Red sleeves, who was in charge of preparing the things that Bixiang got married at that time?"

"At that time, I was in charge of a few little maids in the house, but then something happened and two of them left, and there was only one person still in the house."

"Call her."

"Yes."

After a while, the little maid timidly walked into the room.

"You don't have to be afraid, and look up, I have something I want to inquire about."

"The slave must know everything."

"On the day Miss Bixiang got married, who was responsible for Ruyi?"

"Ruyi is Miss Xiu'er in charge, she was more panicked at the time, Xiu'er almost lost Ruyi, causing a big disaster, but fortunately, Qing'er found it back later."

"They're no longer in the house."

"After the accident, Xiu'er and Qing'er felt that they couldn't live with the prince and the princess, and even more so with Miss Bixiang, so they left the palace, and the slave maid also wanted to leave, but the old mother at home still needed a little silver from the slave maid to catch medicine and cure the disease, so she stayed."

Jiuyu frowned and thought for a long time, "Where did the two of them go?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, I only know that Xiu'er said to me before leaving, don't raise birds in the house in the future."

"Don't ...... Raising birds again? ”

"Exactly."

After the little girl took it down, Jiu Yu thought for a long time, why Xiu'er wanted to say this sentence before leaving, and came to the birdcage, Jiu Yu gently took off the birdcage, and her fingertips brushed it gently, there was nothing wrong with this birdcage, he turned around, "Red sleeves, go and call Imperial Doctor Zhang." ”

"Yes!"

"Princess Jin An."

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, you should have seen more poison than me, can you show me what's strange on this birdcage?"

"Yes."

Imperial Physician Zhang took the birdcage and examined it carefully, until he got close to his nose, sniffed it gently, and then put the birdcage down and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Niangniang, this birdcage is highly poisonous!" ”

"What poison?"

"Poison!"

"Was it poisoned?"

"According to Lao Chen's eyes, it is not that he has been coated with poison, only a small amount of poison at the bottom of the birdcage, so it is very likely that this birdcage once raised birds."

"In other words, Bixiang used to raise birds?"

"That's not the case, Miss Bixiang once asked the minister about the starling, according to the minister's analysis, the bird raised by the girl Bixiang should be the starling, so it was hung on the makeup, and she didn't care."

"That'...... But someone changed the birdcage? ”

"The old minister doesn't know."

After Imperial Physician Zhang left, Jiuyu's heart became more and more complicated. Seeing things slowly surface, seeing that these things are about to clear the fog. Jiuyu was a little timid.

"Red sleeves, the two maids who left, dig three feet into the ground and find them out for me."

"Yes!"

Jiuyu came to the cabinet, looked at her pair of children, the corners of her mouth slowly raised a smile, looking at their babbling appearance, Jiuyu, a Jianghu person, also flashed maternal love.

"Haven't slept yet?" There was a sound of soft footsteps behind him, and Jiuyu turned around with a smile, "I'm not sleepy, the emperor summoned me, but what's the matter?" ”

"The annual festival is coming soon, and the queen is still praying in the mountains, and the emperor sent me to meet me this time."

Jiuyu slowly lowered her head, her face was full of sadness, and she didn't say a word, Su Zisheng gently patted her on the shoulder, "What's wrong? Got something on your mind? ”

"I just checked about Bixiang."

"You really can't help it."

"How can I bear it, that's someone I regard as a relative, someone wants to harm her, just to harm me, how can I not pay attention to it?"

"And what did you find?"

Jiu Yu sighed, and said, "Even if I have some eyebrows, Bixiang was poisoned to death, and it was poison, today I found that there is a problem with the birdcage, someone must have done something wrong, I asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to help me confirm, there is a small amount of poison residue in the birdcage, and the empty red paper that Bixiang used was soaked, so I think there is something strange about this matter." ”

"Now that you've found this, why don't you continue?"

"Xiu'er and Qing'er have left the palace, I always have to find them back to continue, and more importantly, I think this matter is a gap opened by someone against me, and the mastermind behind this matter must be that person, so I must be careful when I take the queen back to the palace this time."

"What do you mean...... It can't be the uninvited nobleman. ”

"Exactly."

"Okay, I'll be careful."

The next day, Su Zisheng led the people to the Imperial Temple.

"Queen Mother, the emperor has a decree to take you and the prince back to the palace."

"He's finally willing to make the order?"

Su Zisheng didn't speak, the queen kowtowed slowly, then got up, put down the Buddhist beads in her hand, and sighed, "Did the emperor say anything else?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, no."

"Go back to the palace!" The queen walked out of the door, and in this way, the queen and the prince got into the carriage, and sure enough, as Jiuyu expected, the road back to the palace was not so easy to walk.

The assassins had already been ambushed halfway up the mountainside, and as expected, these people saw the royal carriage and started to act, Su Zisheng sneered, "It's really as she said." ”

Last night, Murong Jiuyu and Su Zisheng had a night talk.

"Tomorrow, the road back to the palace will be full of difficulties and dangers, the Confucian nobles will not let the prince go back alive, remember, you must protect the prince and the queen, if the prince has any mistakes, the Helan Dynasty will fall into the hands of her first snow."

"Chu Xue really has such a great ability, she is just a nobleman."

"But she is the only concubine in the palace who has a prince."

It seems that this Confucian nobleman is really determined to win, after a bloody battle, several people rushed into the carriage, lifted the sedan curtain, and it was Murong Jiuyu, who came from. Everyone wanted to retreat, but it was too late. Jiuyu put the sword on this man's neck, "Say! Who sent you? ”

"If you want to kill, you have to listen to it."

"I won't kill you, I think Murong Jiuyu's name, it's not the first time you've heard it."

"Are you...... September in Red? ”

"You don't need to know, you just need to tell me who sent you."

"I can't say!"

"You and I are both Jianghu people, I know your rules, but Jianghu people don't ask about the affairs of the palace, you have already committed a big taboo, from today on, the rivers and lakes will not tolerate you, I am afraid that if you do not complete this task, the one in the palace will not use you anymore, so, do you choose to live on the street and live a beggar-like life, or do you choose to recruit from the truth, I will let you live?"

"I don't know the person who gave me the money, I only know that he is from the palace."

"What does it look like?"

"Dressed in a white robe, his voice is a little thin, probably a father-in-law."

"How's it looking?"

"He's masked, I don't know."

"Good! I'll let you go today, and in the future, the people in the rivers and lakes will just ask about the affairs in the palace, but can you write it down? ”

"Got it."

After letting them go, Su Zisheng sent someone to pick up the queen and the prince from a nearby inn. The queen looked at the corpses all over the ground and sneered, "This woman can't be tolerated like this, is it?" ”

"Queen Mother, there are more waiting for you when you return to the palace this time."

"I'm not going to give her a chance."

"The prince must not make any mistakes."

"Jiuyu, this time, I really want to thank you, if it weren't for you, the prince and I wouldn't be able to go back."

"I'm afraid it's even more dangerous in the palace."

After the queen and the crown prince returned to the palace, they should accept the worship according to the ceremony, but the queen decreed that the worship was exempted and only the harem concubines were accepted.

"Niangniang has gone through many difficulties and dangers this time, and finally returned to the palace, and the concubines are happy for Niangniang." The Confucian nobleman still has such a disgusting face, and he knows that he is a girl from a small family, with a snarky face.

The queen picked up the teacup and blew it lightly on the side of her mouth, but she didn't taste it, "This tea is very fragrant, but the palace feels that there is a strange smell." ”

The Confucian nobleman snorted coldly, "How can it be, the emperor regularly gives the best to the queen." ”

"Bengong naturally knows, but he is thinking that if someone wants to harm Bengong, don't you start with these things? Could it be that you want to hire someone to assassinate me? ”

"Hahaha, what is the queen mother talking about, how can anyone want the queen mother's life."
