Sun Qingyang said coldly: "Okay, this person is really brave, he even wants to lie in the palace, look at this, he obviously wants to frame the palace." โ€

Yuan Aiwei said angrily: "Framed or not, it's not good to say now, I didn't listen to her, the person who went can hold the pair of cards of Kunning Palace, or she is a little palace maid who doesn't dare to give things to people, who knows, what's going on?" The young and beautiful concubines in the palace are all gone, isn't the queen just a collection of thousands of favors? โ€

She spoke so arrogantly, but Sun Qingyang ignored it, her expression was very calm, and she said lightly: "Don't say that Concubine Li's words can stand up to scrutiny, this palace thinks that since this case is full of doubts, it must be strictly tried." We can't let go of a wicked person, but we can't wronged a good person either. At present, the imperial doctor said that He Zhaoyi was overly frightened and delirious, and Cao Zhaoyi was asleep again, and it was not suitable to speak even if he woke up, and he couldn't tell the situation at that time. It's better to call the palace maid on duty in Kunning Palace to ask and see if there are any clues. โ€

When she said this, her gentle eyes slowly swept over everyone, and she paused in He Jiayu's face for a moment, and saw that He Jiayu's eyes were full of approval, so she turned to Yuan Aiwei and the others and asked, "What do you think, Concubine Li?" โ€

Zhao Yaoying said respectfully: "What the queen mother said is extremely true. โ€

Since He Jiayu sat on the position of concubine, Sun Qingyang handed over most of the affairs to her on the grounds of poor health, and did not ask about the world for a long time, Yuan Aiwei treated her a little slowly in her heart, thinking that she was entangled in the family affairs of her children and lost her former sharpness.

Sun Qingyang's face was extremely gentle, and he still said unhurriedly: "In Kunning Palace, Mama Su is in charge of the overall situation, but after all, she is old, so most of the things in this palace are taken care of by Zhuang Jing, with the help of Yan Zhi and Shuang Zhi, which of you is responsible for the morning meal in Kunning Palace arranged by Zhuang Jing today?" โ€

When Shuangzhi heard Sun Qingyang's previous words, she had already knelt down in the hall from behind her, and said, "Go back to the queen mother, it's a slave." โ€

Sun Qingyang smiled lightly: "Shuangzhi, you come to tell all the mothers, what should you do on duty today, and how did you arrange them to do things?" โ€

Shuangzhi's voice was clear, and he said generously: "Queen Mother, get up this morning, Mama Su arranged for slaves and maids to be responsible for this morning's fruits and all kinds of snacks, this piece of cheese, is to send Danzhi to arrange for the imperial dining room, it stands to reason, even if we Kunning Palace people take the right cards, there is no reason for one person to go, Jinye only went to the imperial dining room and did not understand the rules, is it difficult for the other people inside to know?" Also, last night, Danzhi went to bed early because of last night's sleepiness, afraid that it would be a mistake, and before going to bed, he specially asked someone to wake her up early. โ€

After hearing this, Sun Qingyang waved his hand at Shuangzhi, "Go down, according to what you just said, go check the imperial dining room." โ€

After seeing the frost branch retreat, Sun Qingyang looked at Danzhi again, "Why didn't I hear you talk about the lack of pairs?" You have always been in good spirits, why did you get stuck like that last night, tell you in detail. โ€

Danzhi said: "The pair of cards was found under the pillow later, thinking that she remembered the wrong place, so she didn't care." Now listening to Sister Shuangzhi, there is indeed something wrong, the pair of card slaves and maids were obviously placed in the cabinet last night, why did they get under the pillow? As for going to bed early, it was because last night, the new Jinyan in our palace not long ago, heard that the slave maid was worried that she would sleep too late at night and would not be able to get up this morning, so she persuaded the slave and maid to drink a cup of barley tea, saying that it would help her sleep, but the slave maid drank the tea she brought, and she did soon have sleepiness. โ€

She thought for a while, and then said, "Jin Yan also talked to the slave and maid, and when she saw that the slave and maid were very sleepy, she sent the slave and maid back to the room. After drinking the teacup, the slave handed it to Xiaoxi casually. โ€

Jin Yan used to be the personal palace maid of Guan Xuan, because she offended He Jiayu and was sent to the Huanyi Bureau, He Jiayu arranged Jin Yan to be an errand in Kunning Palace.

From last night to this morning, the teacup has been cleaned a long time ago, even if there is anything, it is not substantiated, and Jinyan has a good calculation.

Hearing this, Yan Zhi, who was standing behind Sun Qingyang, said something in her ear, and quietly left from behind the curtain.

Sun Qingyang said: "Kunning Palace's diet has always been careful, why didn't this crisp cheese try it today, and let people mix it with daffodil juice?" The palace has asked the imperial doctor before, the osmanthus in the crisp cheese is soaked in daffodil juice and then dried, after people eat it, it will cause vomiting, diarrhea, cold hands and feet, and even death. But in the cheese, there is also another Heding red poison, which is why the attack is so fast, even the imperial doctor can't treat it. This daffodil is ...... in the palace."

After a slight pause, a slightly cold smile floated on Sun Qingyang's lips, "This palace remembers that in addition to the greenhouse in the imperial garden, there are in the Yongning Palace of the noble concubine, there are in the Yong'an Palace of Concubine Li, and then there are a few pots in Jiao Zhaoyi and Xu Zhaoyi. โ€

Jiao Tiantian immediately shouted and said, "Queen Mother, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that if the concubine is poisoned, even she will be poisoned to death? โ€

Hearing Sun Qingyang's words, Yuan Aiwei's heart was even more shocking, the queen seemed to have ignored everything all these years, and she even knew how many pots of flowers there were in their palace.

In the main hall, in order to cover the smell of blood just now, the spices burning in the blue and white seawater dragon and phoenix pattern quadrangle were already extremely rich, and clouds of white smoke rushed straight towards Yuan Ai Rose, who was sitting next to him.

Through the white smoke, her beautiful face is not very clear, and the thoughtfulness on her face is also gently curled and cannot be seen clearly.

Facing Jiao Tiantian's anger, Sun Qingyang still said with a pleasant face: "Jiao Zhaoyi, this palace just said some facts. You see that the concubine and the concubine Li are not angry, how can you see that this palace is targeting you? The palace has already called someone to check, I believe there will be news in a while, please be less peaceful. Drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat. โ€

After a while, Liu Zhi came in, saluted and replied to Sun Qingyang's ear.

Sun Qingyang smiled lightly after hearing this, "That daffodil pollen should be collected from the Imperial Garden." Liu Zhi had just asked the history of the Si Yuan girl in the Imperial Garden, saying that Jin Yu had quietly picked flower petals, and that Jin Yu was Meng Xuan's personal palace maid, and Meng Xuanzhi and Liu Xuanzhi had been sleeping for the waiter, which was a little unpleasant. And the brocade leaf who sent the cheese was Zhang Xuan's personal palace maid, Guan Xuanzhi and Zhang Xuanzhi, both of whom were demoted to the Huanyi Bureau because Meng Xuanzhi complained to the concubine. โ€

Speaking of this, she glanced at He Jiayu, and then continued to say gently: "But the imperial doctor said that the real cause of their death was not daffodil pollen, but the poison of crane top red. It's just that Liu Xuanshi, like Princess Yongqing, has asthma and can't touch pollen, and after touching it, it will not only cause a rash all over the body, but also cause breathing difficulties. โ€

At this time, Yan Zhi walked in, saluted, and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the doctor checked the teacup that Danzhi drank last night and found that there was sweat medicine in it, but the sweat medicine was not made in the palace. The slave maid also went to check the house where Jinyan's old master was selected, and found that there was a paper bag inside, which was filled with sweat medicine. The Imperial Physician had already experienced it, and said that it was exactly the same as the one that Danzhi drank. But no pollen was found. โ€

Sun Qingyang bowed slightly, and said, "How is the question from the Shen Criminal Division?" โ€

Yan Zhi replied, "I think Aunt Zhuang Jing should have asked about the same question." โ€

Sure enough, after a while, I saw Zhuang Jing leading Mo Nushi from the Shen Criminal Division to come over to salute and say goodbye.

Sun Qingyang said: "Have they recruited?" โ€

Mo Nushi presented several confessions with both hands, and said: "Jin Yu recruited, saying that it was her Meng Xuan's servant who coerced and lured her to collect daffodil pollen to put it in the crisp cheese, so that Liu Xuanzhi had a rash all over her body after eating, and she couldn't sleep, and she was hated by the emperor." The remnants of the pollen, Jin Yu quietly fell into the pond. As for the cards, it was Jin Yan who stole it, in order to go to the imperial dining room to serve the cheese, so that she could make a difference, she thought about it at the time, and wanted to find a reason to let the Jin Ye, who had been with Zhang Xuan, send it over. When the time came, he pushed it to Zhang Xuanshi. But they both said that they really didn't know that the crisp cheese was also mixed with the poison of Heding Red, and they just wanted Liu Xuanzhi to fall out of favor and then blame Zhang Xuanzhi. โ€

Sun Qingyang carefully read the confession from beginning to end, and was a little puzzled, "Why didn't this confession say who went to take the puff pastry?" Jinye has seen Jinyan, so there is no reason not to know her. โ€

When Jinye, who was kneeling below, heard this, he said in a loud voice: "That sister has a long face and looks quite kind, not Jinyan, Jinyan slave maid recognizes." โ€

Zhuang Jing replied on the side: "The slave asked Jin Yan about this, and she said that she originally planned to go to the imperial dining room to get the cheese by herself, but at that time, Shuangzhi sent her on an errand, and she was afraid that it would be too late, so she ran to tell Guan Xuan's waiter and asked her to find someone else." When the slave found out about the Menghan medicine, she called someone to go over to ask for a waiter, but found that she had committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam in the laundry room. โ€

Sun Qingyang thought for a while, "The pollen thing, that's it." Guan Xuanzhi harmed others and herself, thinking that she was dead, and she was still buried in the name of the candidate. In order to compete for favor, Meng Xuanzhi unscrupulously punished the poor selection of the Huanyi Bureau, the palace maids Jin Yan and Jin Yu, dared to murder the master, the crime was unforgivable, and the rod was killed! It's just a pity that Liu Xuanzhi and Ding Meiren suffered such a catastrophe for no reason, so they were all promoted to Jieyu and buried as concubines! โ€

She raised her head and glanced at Jinye lightly, and said, "No matter which master the imperial dining room sends the meal, there will be a special chamberlain to try the meal, since Jin Yan and Jin Yu are not the people who are red and poisonous under the crane, then this poisoned person can only be the palace maid who asked you to send the cheese, but the palace found out that no one went to the imperial dining room to get the cheese at that time, you secretly took six bowls and brought them to Kunning Palace, before that, someone saw you whispering with a woman, who is she?" โ€
