Three or four days have passed, and there is still no movement in the palace, and no one has shown any suspicious clues.

Mo Guhan's heart also sank day by day.

Yuehua miscalculated.

Even though the embroidery thread had been watered countless times and had no longer had any toxicity, she was still a little apprehensive, and the man was so calm that he had not moved.

The news of Chu Mubai's investigation of the eunuch also came to the palace, saying that he had already inquired about the whereabouts of that person, but unfortunately, listening to his neighbors, he had died of dysentery half a month ago.

It was a coincidence, so coincidental that one had to be suspicious.

However, it is true, and the clue is broken.

Yuehua didn't want to sit still and wait, she didn't hesitate to give an order, ordering her to check the ears and eyes in each palace to see if there were any suspicions.

The news came one after another, and there was nothing suspicious, and even Concubine Ling had been keeping to herself these days, and she was extremely depressed.

But it was Concubine He, who asked someone to talk, wanting to see Yuehua.

If you want to arrange a meeting, now it is easy for Yuehua, unlike before, always worried and vigilant to be noticed.

When Xian Ge saw Yuehua, he first knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times respectfully.

"The slave thanked the queen mother for avenging Concubine Lian's humiliation."

Yuehua waved her hand: "Getting rid of Concubine Lian is just a personal grudge between me and her, you don't need to thank me." ”

Xian Ge shook her head solemnly: "No matter what Niang Niang's original intentions are, Xian Ge only knows that without Niang Niang, Concubine Lian is still showing off her power in front of the slave maid." ”

Yuehua stopped refutating and accepted it calmly: "The head of your palace can also bear it, so you don't have to worry about this problem anymore, what do you have to do with me?" ”

Xian Ge suddenly perked up: "The slave wants to ask the mother to see if this is Wushisan?" ”

Yuehua raised her eyebrows indifferently: "Five stones? Where did you find it? ”

Xian Ge nodded: "Two days ago, Concubine He's mother's family asked someone to bring her a batch of rouge gouache and fragrant cakes into the palace, and Concubine He was very cautious at that time, and she didn't fake it to us, and took it personally. The slave was suspicious, so she found a suitable time and quietly opened it to take a look. ”

"Cakes and powder?"

Xian Ge bowed: "If Concubine Crane had been taking Wushi San, it would definitely be impossible for her to blatantly bring it into the palace, and she must have brought it into something, so the slave maid kept an eye on it." ”

"The fat powder and fragrant cakes in our palace are all from the imperial tribute, and it is hard to find a thousand gold, why does the Jiang family have to deliberately piggyback from outside the palace, and do this more?"

"This is also what the slave maid finds strange."

Xian Ge groaned slightly, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and said to Yuehua: "The fragrant cake Concubine Crane has been using, she said that the fragrant cake in the palace is not as elegant as the fragrance sent by her mother, and there is not even a slag after using it, it is clean and pure." So the slave didn't pay much attention.

Only this rouge, Concubine Crane is now clear and beautiful, and in order to dress elegantly, she does not apply rouge. But her family sent her a few boxes of rouge, and the slave maid felt that there must be a cat, so she stained a little with a handkerchief and gave it to the mother to look at it to see if there were any problems? ”

Yuehua took the handkerchief in her hand suspiciously, and unfolded it, and there was really a little rosy rouge in the center of the white handkerchief. She leaned closer and sniffed, and a strange aroma hit her nose, different from the floral fragrance of ordinary fat powder.

Yuehua was also a little surprised: "It's indeed a little unique, especially this fragrance, just such a little smell is so fragrant, and it lasts for a long time." But this palace doesn't understand these gouache rouge, and when I have a chance to turn around, I'll look for someone else to see. ”

"These days, the slave and maid have been paying close attention to Concubine He's every move, and she feels that these things are the most suspicious, and she can only bring Wushi Sanjiao into the palace through this method without being noticed."

Yuehua had already guessed this matter, so she was not surprised when she said it.

Concubine He's maiden brother only thought that she could recover her appearance and regain her grace, and he didn't care about the life or death of his sister. Once these five stones are contaminated, it is like drinking a donkey to quench thirst, how can it be good? Really infuriating. ”

Xian Ge hated Concubine Ji Crane in her heart, wishing that she would break her bones and scatter ashes, where would there be any pity? sarcastically: "It's all her own fault." At the beginning, the old lady of the Jiang family said that she would take her out of the palace to live, so that someone would help her in the second half of her life, and it would not be too desolate. It's because she has an obsession in her own heart, and if she has to stay, she still has luck. She also said that she would wait and see who the person who framed her again and again was? ”

Yuehua was a little curious: "When Cui Zhaoyi was poisoned, causing her to be stillborn, was it Concubine He?" ”

Xian Ge shook her head: "In this matter, Concubine Crane is really wronged. Someone put hyssop powder in the tonic she gave to Cui Zhaoyi, so that after Cui Zhaoyi's accident, the emperor immediately found her head and almost lost her life.

In fact, the real reason why Cui Zhaoyi died in childbirth was that she was manipulated in the black chicken soup she drank on weekdays.

Because Cui Zhaoyi likes to drink black chicken soup to make a tonic, the emperor ordered a few black chickens to be kept in the cage in the imperial dining room, and they were killed and stewed every three or five times. Some people have added * to the diet of raising black chickens, because the toxicity is not great, and the silver needle cannot detect it. Over time, the toxicity spreads to the most vulnerable fetuses, leaving the fetus stillborn. ”

Yuehua looked surprised: "So the truth has been revealed?" Who did it? This method does not show any traces, and it is really clever. ”

"This matter was planted on Concubine He, it was indeed seamless, the original flesh and bones of the black-bone chicken were black, and it was killed and eaten before it showed its pathology, even if it was poisoned, it couldn't be seen. It's just that the insects and ants near the cage all stole the food of the black chicken and died a lot, which aroused the suspicion of others and found out the truth.

Because of this incident, many people in the imperial dining room were moved and punished, but the real culprit is still at large. Concubine Crane has only cleared half of the suspicions. The emperor moved his anger to Concubine He, just because the tonic also contained medicine, and she had the intention of harming people, but she was just trying to harm people.

And Concubine He was framed, and there were not many concubines in the palace at that time, only Concubine Ling was the most suspicious. Concubine Ling is also a heart-to-heart, and she can't wait to step on Concubine He's feet, so that she can't turn over. In addition, the Empress Dowager intentionally or unintentionally provoked two sentences, and Concubine He has held a grudge against Concubine Ling since then, and then the relationship became more and more distant, and finally turned against each other, and water and fire were incompatible. ”

Yuehua nodded, it turned out that the contradiction between Concubine Ling and Concubine He was also for a reason, no wonder even the Queen Mother had nothing to do.

"Then you tell this palace honestly, does Jun Shuyuan's death have anything to do with Concubine He?"

Xian Ge shook her head suspiciously: "The slave maid can't be sure of this matter, Concubine He can't tolerate Jun Shuyuan, and she has repeatedly embarrassed her that it is true." But whether she harmed her or not, the slave and maid don't know. At that time, she was not allowed to reuse it in front of her, but she knew that Concubine He had indeed ordered the eunuch Zhao Jiu to bring in a box of bees from outside the palace, saying what kind of apitherapy it was.

Oh, also, because of the acquaintance between you and that gentleman, the Queen Mother once secretly provoked Concubine Hefei to be your enemy, and the maid was so good at persuading and persuading peace. At that time, she poured bitter water with the slave maid, saying that she was wronged, and it should be true. ”

Yuehua frowned slightly, in this way, Jun Shuyuan's death and Concubine Crane really had nothing to do with it, and she and Jun Chi both misunderstood her.

She was suddenly a little frightened, there were so many things in the harem, one by one, one by one, it seemed simple, but in fact, it was not easy to plan. How much ability and connections does this person have to do so many things openly and secretly? Moreover, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are such old and spicy characters that they can't even trace the identity of this person.

Today, this person is still in the harem, lurking in the shadows, staring at himself and the child in his womb, plotting against him. You must find this person as soon as possible, otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to give birth to a child, you will be in danger at any time.

Seeing that Yuehua had a vague sense of pity for Concubine He, she immediately said: "Although these two things have nothing to do with Concubine He, Niangniang doesn't have to be soft-hearted and show mercy to her subordinates. Concubine He has done a lot of hurtful things, and she also wants to harm you and replace them, including the last time she spread rumors about you and General Chu. In this harem, it was originally you who lived and died, and if you were soft on her, you were irresponsible to yourself and the little prince. ”

Yuehua raised her eyes to look at Xian Ge: "You mean that you want to use this to give Concubine He a personal stolen goods and take the opportunity to bring her down?" ”

Xian Ge nodded: "The opportunity is rare, not to mention that Concubine He's move is already a violation of the palace rules, if Niang Niang gets rid of her, it is justified." ”

"So you can't hold back and take such a big risk to find out what Concubine He has in her hand. Don't you want to think about it, if there are marks in the rouge, and the crane concubine is aware that you have touched her things, you still have a life? ”

"The life of a slave is worthless." Slender Song doesn't think twice.

Yuehua was slightly angry: "You despise yourself like this, who still treats you as a human being?" What's more, this palace has repeatedly told you, don't be in a hurry and show your feet, otherwise you have been planning for so long, won't you succeed? If someone perceives your intentions, you will inevitably be used by someone with a heart and lose your life. ”

Xian Ge was silent for a long time, and gritted his teeth: "I listen to my mother." ”

Yuehua sighed lightly: "This palace advises you to forbear for the time being, don't act lightly, and there is a very important reason, because Concubine He's brother is now in an important position in the court, and the emperor relies on it." If the incident with Concubine Crane happens, it will inevitably pull out the radish and bring out the mud. You think, his brother can't move for a while, and then the emperor will have to be lenient with Concubine He. Saying that you don't have real evidence now, and even if you do, it won't help. ”

Xian Ge was slightly disappointed when she heard this: "The slave and maid remember, and they won't act rashly for the time being." ”

Yuehua said softly: "You girl is smart, many things can be understood at a glance, and the palace doesn't need to bother much." Again, revenge matters, but your own life is even more important. Don't take any more risks next time, and don't gamble with your life lightly. After all, there is only one life, and there will always be many ways. ”

Xian Ge was stunned for a moment, nodded, said goodbye to Yuehua, and returned gloomily.

When Yuehua returned to Qingqiu Palace and showed the rouge on the handkerchief to Mama Qin, she couldn't say why for a while.

Later, Zhou Yuan came to ask for a pulse, so he took it out for Zhou Yuan to identify, Zhou Yuan took it in his hand, smelled and tasted it, and didn't find anything abnormal, just ordinary rouge.

Yuehua knew that it must be a suspicious misunderstanding of Xian Ge, and there was no Wushi scattered in this rouge. Immediately sent someone to tell her secretly, lest she be impetuous, and she could no longer hold back and act rashly.

The handkerchief was casually placed in the box above the dressing table and locked.
