Chapter 286: Sachets

Qing Li and Bingling successively checked the things that the queen ordered clearly, but they didn't notice any flaws.

"Niangniang, the slave really can't figure out what went wrong." Qingli frowned and said, "Last time, Sister Bingling found traces of oxytocic drugs in Jinlai Palace. Such obvious traces, but Concubine Liao didn't find them herself? That person was so bold, the medicine residue was poured in the small kitchen, and when the imperial doctor went to the fetus to deliver the medicine, didn't he check the medicine residue? Obviously, there is a cat in it, why let's check it now, but we can't find traces. It's as if the dregs of the medicine just appeared out of thin air. ”

Cen Muning patiently read the records of the investigation between the two, and frowned: "All the people you inquired about can prove to each other that they have not touched the medicinal soup alone, and even the slaves and maids who decoct the medicine every day are the two of them, which shows that it was arranged by Concubine Liao." In other words, there is no flaw, but it is the biggest flaw. ”

Some didn't understand, Qingli frowned and asked, "What does Niangniang mean...... Concubine Liao is too thoughtful, but it makes people feel unreal. But it's precisely because the water doesn't leak that we can't find out the clues. Could it be that this oxytocic pill is really her own harm to herself, and she is pregnant again in order to compete for favor...... Shouldn't this matter be kept a secret? Why bother to expose it in public and ask the queen to investigate? Isn't this a way to get along with yourself? ”

Bingling sighed and frowned: "So, Concubine Liao's mind is too deep, and it is not something that ordinary people can speculate. Mother, do you already know this in your heart? ”

The slender fingers were dipped in a little well-adjusted moisturizer, and Cen Muning touched the back of his hand evenly and rubbed it gently. "Since things are arranged carefully and meticulously, it means that it takes effort. Since it took her strength, arranging this thing like this must have her purpose. ”

Speaking of this, Cen Mu Ning closed the booklet in front of him and said to Bingling and Qingli: "Let's go, go to Jinlai Palace." ”

"Yes." The two girls also brought the booklet with them, in order to show Liao Concubine.

When Cen Muning came in, Liao Rongyu was watching her daughter shed tears.

Seeing that the queen was coming, she quickly wiped it with a silk and got up to say goodbye: "The queen is here." ”

"Linghui sleeps peacefully?" Cen Muning took a step forward and saw the child's appearance, and sure enough, it was the same as what Xin Concubine said: "It's really pink and jade, cute and tight." ”

"She had just fallen asleep and had two mouthfuls of milk. I can't sleep for half an hour, and then I will wake up again. Liao Rongyu sighed softly: "The nurse wants to feed more, so that she can sleep better, but if she eats a little more, she will spit up milk, and it doesn't work to shoot it." The concubine couldn't bear to toss her anymore, so she had to let her eat a little bit. ”

"After all, it's only a full moon, and the child is still young." Cen Mu stared and said: "You have always been taken care of by the hospital judge when you are pregnant, and you only invited the deputy court judge to come over when you gave birth." Now that Linghui's body is weaker, he always has to be taken care of by the imperial doctor, who do you want to take care of, just tell the palace. ”

"The court judge has always been dedicated and takes good care of Linghui. The deputy court sentenced that the queen had been asking for peace and security, and the concubines were inconvenient to work. Liao Rongyu smiled a little reluctantly: "The eldest son of the emperor born to Concubine Ying was also born prematurely, and now he has also been recuperated." The concubine felt that as long as she took care of herself, Linghui would definitely be able to slowly grow stronger. ”

"That's inevitable." Cen Muning sighed slightly: "It's a pity that there is one thing that this palace has no clue. ”

"Niangniang is talking about the oxytocic medicine?" Liao Rongyu couldn't help frowning.

"yes." Cen Muning glanced out of the door: "I interrogated all the people who handled it, but none of them could." If you want to say that the hospital judged that things were measured, the internal attendants and supervisors who did chores for him in the Tai Hospital could testify. And the people in your palace also have rules, no matter what they do, there are two people together, testifying to each other, but they don't see anything wrong. But judging from your pulse, it seems that the oxytocic drug has been used for some days, but the daily dose is controlled just right, and you will not notice it at all. It takes a certain amount of time to be effective. In other words, if someone gives you medication, that person must be someone who has daily access to your tocolytics. Thinking about it, the only people who can do things are the people around you. ”

Liao Rongyu moved her lips and did not make a sound, as if she was in deep thought.

Cen Mu Ning saw that she was silent, and she already understood the ins and outs of this matter. But at this time, the inner attendant outside the door spread the news that Concubine Xin had arrived.

Liao Rongyu hurriedly got up: "Niangniang, let's go to the main hall, or ...... Linghui fell asleep, and the concubine didn't want to wake her up. ”

"It's fine." Cen Muning naturally agreed.

When the group walked into the main hall, Xin Wei was already waiting there.

It is said that it is the main hall, but in fact, the Jinlai Hall is not big, and the main hall is not big. These people stood inside, and they looked very full. It seems that the atmosphere is a little suffocating when huddled together.

"My sister came just in time. Queen Fang Cai said that the person who can drug me must be the person who is by my side every day. I just asked those slaves and maids, but I didn't see anything wrong. My sister also helped me figure out what went wrong. Okay, I haven't offended anyone, how can I get into such a situation? Speaking of this, Liao Rongyu couldn't help but reddened her eyes again: "It's just a matter of attacking me, poor Linghui is still in my womb, and she will be calculated, and now she is so weak, it's me, a mother, who can't protect her." ”

"Sister, don't be sad, if the slave is unreliable, just throw it to the torture room and ask for strict questioning." Xin Wei and the queen glanced at each other, and said solemnly: "With the queen mother here to call the shots for you, this matter will definitely be investigated." ”

As he spoke, Xin Wei reached out to shake Liao Rongyu's hand.

Liao Rongyu grabbed her hand with a backhand, and this sudden action was slightly forceful, which made Xinwei a little surprised.

"Sister, you are ......"

"Good sister, help me think, who is trying to harm my child?" Liao Rongyu's voice was a little hoarse, and tears slowly slipped down her cheeks, which looked really distressing.

But her strength was amazing, and Xinwei's wrist was hurt by her, so she couldn't help but want to pull her hand back.

Just like that, a sachet fell out of the sleeve.

Liao Rongyu hurriedly leaned down to pick it up.

"Don't move, let the slave come." She walked over quickly and picked up the sachet.

Mo Se carefully patted the sachet clean, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, it didn't get dirty." This sachet was embroidered by herself when the mother was pregnant. ”

As he spoke, he handed it to Liao Rongyu.

"It's not my sachet." Liao Rongyu handed the thing to Xinwei: "It's my sister's." My embroidered begonia flowers, and my sister's sachet embroidered with peach blossoms, which look very similar, but they are not the same. Sister, take care of it. ”

Xin Wei was a little surprised, and touched his waist: "How can my sachet be ......?"

Her sachet had always been on her waist, but now the sachet on her waist was missing. It just fell out of the sleeve.

"What? Is there anything wrong? Liao Rongyu looked at her suspiciously, and slowly opened the sachet that was about to be handed to her. Hey, how does this taste different? I remember when I made a sachet for my sister, there were just some ordinary spices and flower petals in it, why did this sachet actually have a medicinal smell? ”

Cen Muning just looked at it so closely, and didn't find anything abnormal. The sachet did fall out of Xinyi's sleeve. Although Liao Rongyu held her hand, she did not take the sachet from her sleeve, let alone switch it.

"Bingling, look at it."

Bingling stepped forward, took the sachet from Concubine Liao's hand, sniffed it lightly, and frowned.

"How?" Liao Rongyu asked suspiciously.

"The medicine in this looks like it was left behind by the oxytocic drugs." Bingling was blunt and said it in public.

"Oxytocics?" Xinwei's heart chuckled, she knew that Liao Rongyu didn't like her and was also a concubine. Although she has been cautious and cautious these days, hoping to resolve the dissatisfaction in her heart, she didn't expect it to be in vain. "This is impossible, this sachet was given to me by Sister Liao Concubine, I have always carried it close to me, and it is full of petals and spices, etc., and I have never let go of any medicinal materials, let alone oxytocic drugs."

Bingling continued: "There is no trace of oxytocic drugs in this place now. But the smell left behind by the herbs is obvious. Despite being masked by the smell of spices, it is still distinguishable. If Concubine Xin doesn't believe it, she can summon the imperial doctor to come to verify. ”

"Queen Mother, the concubine has never done this." Xin Wei immediately knelt down: "The concubine has always been taken care of by Sister Liao, and she has been close to her sister every day. How could she poison her sister and the child in her womb, there must be some misunderstanding. ”

"Accompany the side ...... every day" Mo Se suddenly knelt down: "Queen Mother, in addition to the imperial doctor and the slaves and maids in the palace, the only one who will go to the small kitchen every day is Concubine Xinniang." Every time Concubine Xin came over, she had to prepare sour plum soup, plum juice, or hawthorn water and other things for our mother, she always thought that the slaves and maids were not fine, so they were busy in the small kitchen for a while. Only the brook beside her was with her. If...... If it was really her hands, naturally no one would find out. ”

"Shut up." Liao Rongyu was a little angry and said to her: "Anyone will harm me, but Sister Xin Concubine will definitely not." Although my sister and I are not blood sisters, we are close to each other, but you can understand the sincerity of each other. My sister won't hurt me. Queen Mother, please also investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

Xin Wei frowned slightly, and her tone was resolute: "Queen Mother, what the concubine hasn't done is what she hasn't done." The concubine is willing to cooperate with the mother's inquiry, whether it is to send the concubine to the torture room, or to the Qingxuan Hall to be questioned by the emperor, the concubine has not complained, everything depends on the mother. ”

"Now that you've found something like this, it's naturally hard to get rid of it." Cen Muning couldn't help frowning: "Not only you, but even the creek beside you should also be inquired." This palace will never wronged you, and if you haven't done too much, you can rest assured. ”

"Thank you, Queen." Xin Wei lay on the ground, her heart ached faintly, she really regarded Liao Rongyu as her sister. Since the death of the Queen Mother, she has long since stopped wanting to compete for favor, which is really ridiculous. When she passed by Concubine Liao, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Sister, do you believe that I am innocent?" ”
