Empress Yun smiled meaninglessly, and said to the people below: "This palace just said that today is your chance, whether to be a master or wait to be destroyed by the Nine Clans, you have thought clearly." The palace will put the words here today, there is such a big thing in the prince's mansion, you can't run. This thing can find out the real culprit, that's the best, you will be punished at most, if you can't find the real culprit, you all have to bury the little highness! ”

The cruel words, with the swishing cold wind, poured into everyone's ears, and the people who knelt on the ground prostrate on the ground.

Qin Mingyue quietly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

She could see that Queen Yun had no evidence at all, so she could only blackmail these people and try to ask something out of their mouths.

With confidence, the expression on Qin Mingyue's face was also relaxed.

"Hui, Hui, Hui, the queen," a lady in charge said boldly, "There is a medicine woman by the side of the crown princess, will it ......?"

Could it be related to this.

Empress Yun frowned, "By the way, what about that medicine woman?" ”

Empress Yun glanced around consciously, as if she had just remembered such a person.

They are all capable of doing it.

"In the firewood room." Zhang Ruishun said as he glanced at the eunuch behind him.

The latter hurriedly trotted towards the firewood room.

Only now do I think of the medicine woman, and it is too obvious to be fake.

Yao Pozi was escorted up and knelt at the door of the flower hall.

"Medicine woman, do you recognize this bowl of water?" It was Zhang Ruishun who was in anger who was asking.

"Back to Your Highness, the old slave knows that this is water." The medicine woman replied ambiguously.

"It's not just plain water, it's water from the kitchen well."

Yao Pozi's face was expressionless, "Does Your Highness want the old slave to do anything, is there anything wrong with this well water?" ”

Zhang Ruishun sneered, raised his foot abruptly, and kicked the heart of the Chinese medicine mother-in-law.

Yao Pozi was kicked away, fell heavily to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Say it or not!"

"The old slave really doesn't know what His Highness wants the old slave to say." The medicine woman gasped.

"In the entire Prince's Mansion, you know the most about pharmacology, and you are the only one who can do things to the well water." Zhang Ruishun said calmly.

Yao Pozi smiled, "Your Highness is afraid that you have forgotten, the old slave has been imprisoned in the firewood room, and he comes out once every half a month, and he also asks the princess for her pulse, where is the opportunity to do something to the well water?" ”

Zhang Ruishun laughed angrily, "You don't have a chance, but as long as you write a recipe, someone will naturally do the rest of the work." ”

The implication is that it has been determined that this matter is related to the medicine woman.

The grandmother beside Queen Yun has been staring at the medicine woman, although she has helped Zhang Ruishun to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the backyard in the past few days, but her attention is on the people who often move around in the backyard...... Familiar.

The medicine woman wiped the blood stains from her mouth, knelt on the ground and said, "According to His Highness, everyone in the backyard is suspicious, and they can also get these medicines from other places, and then use them in well water and sweet soup respectively. ”

That's right.

Others are freer, more convenient, and less likely to be suspected than the medicine woman.

"You don't admit it, do you?" Zhang Ruishun had a bloodthirsty smile on his lips, he took half a step back slowly, and immediately two people dressed as guards stepped forward and carried the medicine woman to the courtyard.

This is going to be tortured!

Qin Mingyue clutched her chest and stared at the medicine woman for a moment, for fear that something would pop out of her mouth.

Compared with Qin Mingyue's worries, the Ji family is much more confident, after all, Yao Pozi has been by her side for so many years, has helped her do so many things, and has a lot of handles.

Soon, there was a sound of splints in the yard, and she was executed in front of everyone, and the most shameful thing was that she also took off the pants of the medicine woman!

Yao Pozi is also a hard-mouthed woman, and she didn't even moan, let alone beg for mercy.

Queen Yun didn't even glance at the situation in the courtyard, and looked intently at the newly dyed color on her fingernails, the bright red, with the most demagogic temptation.

"Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that this medicine woman seems to be ......"

"Huh?" Empress Yun raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and asked angrily.

Mama thought about it carefully again, and after confirming that it was correct, she said: "Niangniang, yes, that's right, she is the palace maid next to Wang Cairen." ”

"Concubine?" Queen Yun couldn't help but straighten her face.

Mama nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, mother, the slave remembers it very well." When the saint was still the crown prince, you once entered the palace to see the queen mother, who was still the queen at the time, and the slaves and maids were waiting outside the palace and saw this person. ”

There were some tongue-twisters, but everyone understood what Mama meant.

At the beginning, Queen Yun was just the concubine of the Yun family, and when she entered the palace to visit the Empress Dowager Yun, who was still the queen, she saw the palace maid next to Wang Cairen.

"This palace remembers that Wang Cairen was given to death by the Emperor Taishang because of fornication in the palace."

Mama nodded, "At that time, the Queen Mother was kind-hearted, and the people around Wang Cairen were all released from the palace, including this medicine woman." ”

"Do you remember something so long ago?" Queen Yun asked casually.

Mama hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, because I followed Niangniang into the palace more often, so the slaves and maids have some impressions of the concubines. ”

Everyone's eyes looked at the medicine woman's left hand holding a stool.

The little finger is not half short.

Mama said again: "The slave maid heard the queen mother say that this mama understands medicine, because she knows that she has this ability, so Wang Cai brought it into the palace." ”

"It turned out to be an old man." Queen Yun said strangely.

The palace is a place to eat people, especially in the harem, where women's means of competing for favor are endless, and that Wang Cai is just framed by someone.

Now that she knew that Yao Pozi was a talented person, Queen Yun naturally had to think about it more.

Wang Cairen was the concubine of the former emperor, and was once very favored by the former emperor, if it weren't for his humble status, he would have been promoted to the concubine position a long time ago. The women of the harem can be windy and rainy, but the emperor's favor cannot be enjoyed exclusively.

Empress Yun was not sure if Yao Pozi was avenging her previous master, so she did not allow any unstable factors in front of her, so she looked coldly at the guards who carried out the staff duty, and she did not let people stop until Yao Pozi fainted.

Qin Mingyue glanced at Ji's family, and only after getting her encouragement did she try to speak: "Queen Mother, the minister really doesn't know anything about this, the medicine woman was unintentionally rescued by the son's aunt before, and in order to repay the favor, I followed the son's aunt." After Erchen became pregnant, he has been taking care of Erchen's body. ”

The Cloud Queen smiled silently.

Qin Mingyue paused, and said stubbornly: "Erchen and aunt never knew that Yao Pozi was Wang Cairen's person, let alone that she had such a mind. ”

This is to use the medicine to atone for the sin.

When it comes to the harem of the first emperor, it can be big or small, so I simply pushed the medicine woman out directly.

In fact, Qin Mingyue didn't know what kind of handle the medicine woman had in her aunt's hands, so that she would not only obey Aunt Yu's orders, but also be a scapegoat.

However, these are not in the scope of Qin Mingyue's worries, and the most important and only thing for her now is how to clear her suspicion.

"This matter is so complicated, it is inevitable to alarm the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother." Queen Yun said slowly.

Qin Mingyue's heart tightened and she didn't answer.

"Qi, Queen Qi, the slave has something to say." Outside the courtyard, a third-class maid said tremblingly.

If it weren't for the silence in the courtyard at this moment, no one would have heard such a timid voice.

"Oh? Bring it in. "The stakes are high, and Queen Yun is very patient to figure it out little by little.

The maid was carried by the guards to the Cloud Queen.

"You speak slowly." Empress Yun rarely appeased.

"Yes, Queen." The maid was prostrate on the ground, and despite her fear, she tried to make her voice as clear as possible to everyone in the room.

After sorting out the logic, the maid said clearly: "Queen Qiyu, the slave maid is a rough maid in the backyard, responsible for cleaning the outside of the main courtyard. A few days ago, when the slaves and maids were cleaning after dinner, they would see the grandmother walking towards the bamboo forest behind the courtyard. ”

Everyone listened attentively to the maid's report, and no one seemed to notice that a maid who had never seen the world had the courage to remain sober at this time, and said it in such detail and so specifically.

"The bamboo forest behind the yard, what is that?" Queen Yun asked Zhang Ruishun beside her.

"Queen Mother, the bamboo forest was unintentionally planted by Erchen when he was a child, and he transplanted two plants at random, but he didn't expect it to become a scenery in the prince's mansion. Erchen will practice there every day, not a forbidden place, except that he can't be disturbed when Erchen is practicing, the rest of the time can be freely entered and exited. Because the bamboo forest is behind the main courtyard, so Erchen has been there more often, the environment there is good, and Erchen also thought about expanding the back wall of the main courtyard to the back of the bamboo forest. ”

The mother and son don't seem to care about what Qin Mingyue's grandmother is doing in the bamboo forest, but they are very interested in the bamboo forest.

Ignoring Qin Mingyue's nervousness, after the maid got the hint from Queen Yun, she continued: "The slave maid thinks it is strange, coupled with Su Liangdi's matter, the slave maid has an extra heart, and the former followed the grandmother to the bamboo forest, and secretly saw the grandmother burying something in it, and the slave and maid dug it out. ”

"Phew!"

Qin Mingyue stood up nervously, because the movement was too big and too violent, and overturned the chair behind her.

Empress Yun frowned, "What's wrong with the crown princess?" ”

"After returning to his mother, Erchen just felt a little cold, so he ......"

"Since the crown princess is afraid of the cold, let's have another brazier. I am also wronged by the princess today, and I am still in confinement, so I have to worry about these things, or do you go back to the room to rest first? ”

"Thank you for the queen mother's compassion, the son-in-law wants to stay, the matter is very important, and the son-in-law also wants to find out as soon as possible, after all, this matter is now, and it is also about the innocence of the son-in-law." Qin Mingyue said stiffly.

Queen Yun smiled slightly.
