Shao Ziqing skillfully sold a guanzi, which aroused Yuehua's curiosity.

"What?"

Shao Ziqing looked at Yuehua, smiled meaningfully, and said solemnly: "Shi Yunhai's wife said that the last time she entered the palace and passed by Concubine Ling, she smelled the smell of fat powder on her body very familiar. ”

"Familiar? What do you mean? Yuehua asked suspiciously.

"It means that she once smelled it on Shi Yunhai's body! More than once! ”

A touch of surprise flashed from the bottom of Yuehua's eyes, and then transformed into a touch of understanding.

Anyone who studies medicine is more sensitive to smells. Especially in those days, there was a lesson from Huan Yanxiang's past, and the Shi family was suspicious of Shi Yunhai, and he must pay attention to the abnormalities in him on weekdays. No wonder she is so sure that Shi Yunhai must have someone in the palace, and if she is any wife, she must be so sensitive and careful.

"Concubine Ling's body is the smell of fat powder mixed with the incense in the pepper room. At that time, Shi Yunhai went in and out of the Jiaofang Hall every day, and it was reasonable for him to have a little smell on his body. Yuehua persuaded herself.

Shao Ziqing lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

"If Lord Shao has any ideas, just say it bluntly, don't hide it."

Shao Ziqing raised his head and smiled slightly: "I do have some ideas, but they are shocking, so I don't dare to speak out." ”

Yuehua turned her head and said to Shui You: "Shui You, the little prince and the little princess should be hungry, you told the nurses to wait in the courtyard after bathing." ”

Shui You is the most discerning: "Niangniang rest assured, the slave and maid are waiting at the door, if there is any command, just shout." ”

Yuehua let out a soft "um", and Shui You went out to close the door.

The hall was quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.

Yuehua was trying her best to avoid being alone with Shao Ziqing, but she had a faint premonition in her heart that the topic that the two of them were going to talk about next was not trivial and must be confidential.

She smiled at Shao Ziqing: "Please also ask Shao Xiang to speak boldly." ”

Shao Ziqing didn't hide it, and said in a low voice: "Don't you have a little doubt about this matter?" ”

Yuehua shook her head: "I don't dare to think about it." ”

"Actually, you also have doubts in your heart, don't you? At the beginning, the matter of Hedinghong had nothing to do with Concubine Ling. So why did Concubine Ling rush to kill Shi Yunhai and kill her? If the person who has a personal relationship with Shi Yunhai is Han Cui, there is no need for Concubine Ling.

Later, the palace has been calm, but you went to the Han Mansion and met Shi Yunhai's widow, Shen Xincai immediately felt like a great enemy, and entered the palace in the afternoon to meet Concubine Ling. If your speculation is true, the assassin had already followed Shen Xin into the palace at that time. It's just that I haven't had a chance to do it.,And by chance, it leaked the collection near the Guan Dove Palace.。

Later, the palace was strengthened by guards. They are afraid of long nights and dreams, and finally the dog jumps over the wall and uses a trick to lure the enemy and attack you.

What do you think, what are the Shen family afraid of? Why is it difficult for orphans and widows after Shi Yunhai's death, so that they have to move out of the capital? Is this necessary? Don't you think they're trying to cover up something unseemly? ”

These things have been thought about countless times in Yuehua's heart, but she really doesn't dare to think about them.

She bit her lower lip and said suspiciously: "I went to the Han Mansion, it happened that Yajieyu had just happened to the incident, and the emperor was still ordering the Internal Affairs Office to further verify some of the things that Yajieyu had explained. I wanted to come to Concubine Ling because she was frightened and afraid that something would happen, so she couldn't wait to drive Shi Yunhai's wife and children out of the capital. ”

"Ziqing, there is one more thing I want to tell my mother."

"What's the matter?"

"When you were just pregnant, when Ziqing entered the palace, she was tricked by the Queen Mother to treat Concubine Ling."

"What's wrong with Concubine Ling?"

"It's nothing, it's just because she hasn't been pregnant since she entered the palace."

Yuehua nodded: "Concubine Ling has eaten a lot of decoction for this, and the Shen family specially found Shi Yunhai to enter the palace, which is what she wants." When Shi Yunhai first entered the palace, he heard that he was full of ambition and thought that he would be able to cure the disease, but who knew that it would take two or three years to make Concubine Ling's wish come true. ”

Shao Ziqing smiled incomprehensibly: "That's because Concubine Ling is in excellent health, and there are no symptoms at all." ”

Yuehua was a little strange: "Then why has she been in the palace for so many years and has not been pregnant?" ”

Shao Ziqing smiled more meaningfully: "According to the judgment of His Majesty at the time, she is because she is a close relative of the emperor. ”

Yuehua didn't understand: "The emperor and Concubine Ling are cousins, as we all know, will this also affect pregnancy?" ”

Shao Ziqing nodded firmly: "It is indeed not easy for such close cousins and sisters to get married, or to give birth to freaks. ”

Yuehua's color changed suddenly: "There is nothing unusual about the fetus in the womb of Concubine Ling now......

Shao Ziqing shook his head: "Doesn't Niangniang think that it is too much of a coincidence that Concubine Ling has been infertile for several years, and then she can successfully conceive once she sleeps?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"What does the queen think, what Ziqing thinks." Shao Ziqing smiled incomprehensibly, and his words were meaningful, but he did not point it out.

"No...... Impossible. The more Yuehua thought about it, the more shocked she became: "How could she be so bold?" This is the sin of the family. ”

"Since ancient times, this kind of thing has been common. Rather than sit and wait, it is better to fight to the death. If you keep it secret, you can hide it from the world and win the glory of a lifetime. ”

Yuehua was still a little incredulous, and sat stunned for a long time, her heart was in turmoil: "For the sake of power, in order to be able to become the master of this Forbidden City, there is indeed nothing that I dare not do." ”

"It's just a pity that Shi Yunhai has been wiped out, and the girl Hancui is also dead, all of them are dead without proof. Even if Shi Yunhai's wife can testify, but because of Shi Yunhai's relationship, the Shen family can bite back, saying that she is taking revenge for personal gain. What's more, what the Shi family knew was only a trace, not evidence. The matter can be said to be seamless. ”

Yuehua nodded: "If it weren't for Yajieyu's incident, Concubine Ling would have been weak for a while, and wanted to expel Shi Yunhai's wife from the capital, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been extraordinary." If she was a little more open and not so nervous, I wouldn't be suspicious and continue to investigate. But it's just suspicion, and there is no basis for words. ”

Shao Ziqing also nodded helplessly: "The fetus in Concubine Ling's womb is the Shen family's dependence, and with the support of the Queen Mother, it is not easy for the mother to bring her down." ”

Yuehua sighed deeply: "In this way, there is a good chance that this assassin is the Shen family's doing, and it has nothing to do with her. ”

Shao Ziqing hesitated for a moment, and asked aloud: "I heard that Lan Jieyu was implicated in this matter some time ago, and she is also suspicious?" ”

"My brother told you about it, right?"

Shao Ziqing shook his head: "No, I heard that Lan Jieyu asked the emperor for interrogation to prove her innocence." ”

Yuehua didn't hide it, and said frankly to him: "Actually, I don't hide it from Shao Xiang, and I have been a little suspicious of Huaien recently." ”

"Why?" Shao Ziqing was a little surprised: "When Niangniang was sick, Ziqing often went to Lan Jieyu's palace to diagnose Niangniang, and saw that you had a good relationship and were intimate. ”

"I just think she doesn't seem to be simple, and her mind is a little wrong, I asked my brother to send someone to her hometown to inquire, and found that her identity when she entered the palace turned out to be fake. Moreover, the Assassin happened to appear near the Guan Gu Hall that day, so the suspicion deepened, and he thought that the Assassin had something to do with her. Now that things have taken a turn again, I have some doubts in my heart, maybe I did misunderstand her. ”

"Could it be that she harms your mind?" Shao Ziqing asked, "When did it happen?" ”

Yuehua said concisely about the ins and outs of the sneak attack with Mama Lin that day in the Guan Dove Palace: "Maybe there were other hidden weapons at that time, but maybe we didn't find them." ”

"Why don't you question her? Or give it to someone from the Internal Affairs Office for interrogation. ”

Yuehua didn't know how to explain her deeper speculation about Huaien, besides, this was a little grudge between herself and her, and she couldn't explain it clearly in half a word, so she shook her head and said: "It's just my suspicious speculation, I can't count, I don't want to hurt the sisterhood." ”

Shao Ziqing nodded: "Niangniang is right, there is no seamless sin in this world, everything will fall into place." If these things are really related to Lan Jieyu, it's not too late to question them. For now, it is important to investigate the matter of Concubine Ling first, and if you delay it again and again, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you. ”

Yuehua smiled bitterly and looked at her hand: "Do you feel that I am different from the past now?" is also so scheming, intriguing like them? ”

Shao Ziqing pursed his thin lips, shook his head solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Yuehua, for anything, for people who have hurt, or who have been trying to get rid of you, don't feel guilty, that will make you soft-hearted for a while, and others will have a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Yuehua turned her head to look at the child on the bed, nodded with a wry smile.

"Thank you. I can't let the emperor know about this matter, and I don't know who I can discuss with for a while. ”

"Do you need to be polite to me?" Shao Ziqing smiled slightly: "I'm glad that you can still think of me when you need help." ”

Yuehua didn't know what to say for a while, and the two were a little silent.

The hall became quieter and quieter, and the ice in the ice bucket at the corner of the hall gradually melted, and the water dripped down drop by drop, exuding a faint coolness.

In the crib, the two babies were eating their hands with relish and "whining" to themselves.

Yuehua frequently raised her eyes to look at the two children, and gradually became absent-minded.

Shao Ziqing reluctantly got up: "Then Weichen won't disturb the mother's rest." If there is anything, Ziqing is willing to be sent at any time. ”

Yuehua also stood up: "I'm afraid I will have to trouble you in the future." ”

Shao Ziqing slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "I am happy." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the warm breeze was like seeing each other for the first time.
