Chapter Eighty-Eight: Check the Morning Glory
The turmoil brought by the five princes seems to have passed like this, except for the blood shed in the Chunshui Pavilion of Mochizuki Palace, the consequence is that all palaces have strengthened their care for the prince and princess.
There is a third-class palace maid Caiyun in Liling's palace who is Concubine Xiao's person, and after the matter of the fifth prince, Liling sent someone to watch Caiyun more closely, in case Caiyun has any moves, and the gains outweigh the losses when the time comes.
"Niangniang, Jing Xiuyuan sent someone to send a message that Su Xiurong's people from the Chunshui Pavilion of the Moon Palace are inquiring about where there are morning glories in this palace." Minglu whispered in the ear of the pear ling.
Liling bowed slightly, indicating that she knew.
After the matter of the five princes, although Li Ling didn't want to investigate this matter, she was afraid that the person who killed the five princes would turn around and harm her children, especially the eighth prince, who was young and a prince, so she asked Jing Xiuyuan, who lived in the Moon Palace with Su Xiurong, to pay more attention to the movements of the Chunshui Pavilion and see if Su Xiurong would find anything.
Morning glory? Li Ling frowned, it was impossible for Su Xiurong's people to ask people where there were morning glories for no reason, could it be that the death of the fifth prince had something to do with morning glories?
Li Ling called Imperial Doctor Ye.
Doctor Ye said that this morning glory can treat diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, nephritis edema, pediatric pharyngitis, etc., but pregnant women and people with weak stomach and qi deficiency should not take it, and excessive dosage will cause neurological symptoms and reactions such as blood in the stool, abdominal pain, vomiting, etc., and cannot be taken for a long time.
Pear Ling understood.
The five princes vomited and diarrhea, I am afraid it is the "credit" of this morning glory.
But Su Xiurong regarded the five princes as if they were the root of his life, how could he be so careless and let people feed the morning glory to the five princes? If the fifth prince was really fed the decoction of morning glory, it was impossible for the imperial doctor not to find out.
Ri Ling voiced her doubts.
"Niangniang, is it possible to ......" Ming Dong said with some hesitation.
"If you have any ideas, just say it, here is the princess, there is no need to be so restrained." Li Ling gave Ming Dong a smile, Ming Dong has been a first-class palace maid by her side for some time, but it may be due to her personality, Ming Dong is always a little subtle in doing things and speaking.
"The slave maid thinks it could be that the grandmother of the fifth prince drank the decoction of morning glory, and then ......" Ming Dong's face was slightly red, and the latter words were not finished, and his eyes looked at Li Ling with hope.
Li Ling understood what Ming Dong meant, and her heart lit up, yes, you can't feed it directly to the five princes, but you can breastfeed it to the five princes!
"You're smart." Ri Ling nodded towards Ming Dong, agreeing with her idea. Although Ming Dong has not been by her side for a long time, she is indeed a very smart palace maid, and what made Yu Zhaorong before was also the idea given by Ming Dong to let the Duke of Wei inherit the duke and fold the backer behind Yu Zhaorong.
"It's all within the slave's business." Ming Dong smiled shyly.
"Minglu, you also go and inquire carefully, where are morning glories in this palace, don't attract attention." Minglu also learned a lot of things by Zhihe's side, Minglu's temperament is good, and he can talk to anyone, and he usually gives Minglu what he asks about.
"Don't worry, the slave will go." Minglu grinned, and was about to go out to inquire.
"It's early in the morning, it's cold outside, let's wait for a while to get warmer before we go!" Seeing Minglu's angry appearance, Pear Ling stopped her.
"Xie Niangniang is compassionate!" Minglu happily thanked Pear.
Pear Ling smiled.
Ming Dong blushed slightly on the side, and stood aside with low eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ming Lu went out to inquire for two or three days, but the final result was that there were no morning glories in this palace.
No morning glory? Li Ling was a little puzzled, she still believed in Minglu's ability to do things, it seems that there are really no morning glories in this palace.
Since it is a chronic poison, the grandmother of the five princes needs to take the medicinal soup boiled by morning glory for a long time, if it is brought in from outside the palace, it is reasonable to say once or twice, this time it is too much, I am afraid it is not so easy.
But there are no morning glories in this palace.
Could it be that she guessed wrong, Su Xiurong asked people to inquire where there were morning glories that had nothing to do with the death of the five princes?
Obviously, this answer is not believed by Pear Ling.
There is no one in the palace, and Liling can only let people go outside the palace to check, to check the concubines in the palace, especially the families of the concubines with relatively high positions in Lingcheng, which family has morning glories.
There are no morning glories in the palace, and it is too easy for people to go out of the palace to buy them, and it is not easy to bring them in, so only the families of those concubines are brought in when they enter the palace to ask for peace, and as for why they are planted at home, it is not for people to go out to buy and then bring them in, one is to go out to buy and easy to be found out by the vines, and the other is that it is easy to startle the snakes, or it is safer to plant some at home, and then pull them all out after planting, and no one knows.
However, it is more difficult to find out which one has grown morning glory.
Li Ling was not in a hurry, but Su Xiurong was different.
After Su Xiurong didn't find out that there were morning glories in the palace, he went to the room where the five princes' grandmothers were imprisoned with a belly of anger, ready to torture the grandmothers again.
"Morning glories have never been planted in the palace at all, are you lying to the palace?!" Su Xiurong has experienced the blow of losing his son these days, and he has been busy checking who killed the fifth prince, his face is extremely ugly, and he suddenly seems to be several years older.
"The slave didn't lie to the mother, the slave's child is in the hands of the mother, how dare the slave and the maid lie to the mother!" Mama cried and shouted, she was afraid that Su Xiurong would be angry and let her child go to the funeral of the fifth prince.
"That's not necessarily, you are very loyal to the master behind you, and you would rather let your child die than tell the master behind you!" Thinking of this, Su Xiurong was so angry that her heart and liver hurt, she didn't expect that she would use Grandma's child to threaten Grandma Grandma to tell the person behind her, but Grandma still refused to say the master behind her! If it weren't for Su Xiurong's sanity for a while, and he didn't want to get too much blood on his hands, it is estimated that the three children would have died a long time ago.
"The slave maid has received the favor of the master behind her, so the slave and maid cannot betray, and the slave and maid also agreed to the mother to kill the five princes in exchange for the lives of the slave and the maid's three children, and the slave and maid will naturally keep their word, the slave and the maid really did not lie to the mother!" Mama explained in a clear way that what she said was true.
Su Xiurong listened to Mama's explanation, but also believed it a little.
Seeing this, Mama Nan made persistent efforts and said: "Niangniang, there are no morning glories in the palace, and there are no outside the palace?" ”
When Su Xiurong heard this, he glanced at the grandmother with a gloomy look, and then went out of the house, thinking that he was going to check the morning glory outside the palace, which coincided with the pear ling.
