After listening to Lu Yuning's words, Qingzhi carefully recalled what happened before and after Xin Yanwei's feet, and then said it to Lu Yuning word for word.

Lu Yuning didn't find that there was a problem there after listening to it.

From Qingzhi's description, Lu Yuning also felt that Xin Yan seemed to want to get close to the small kitchen at that time, so she deliberately broke her foot.

But now there is no problem in the small kitchen, but there is a snake bone flower in his bedroom that should not appear.

Is it possible that Xin Yan did this on purpose, just to distract her?

This matter needs to be investigated carefully, especially how the snake ran into Ruichang Palace, and how the snake bone flower was put in her bedroom.

At the same time that Lu Yuning handed over the matter to Zhou Man to investigate, he also went to report the matter to the Queen Mother.

Now that the emperor is no longer in the palace, the power of the harem is in the hands of the queen mother, and there are poisonous snakes in the harem, which is a big deal.

This snake can appear in Ruichang Palace today, and it can appear in other palaces tomorrow.

After the Queen Mother knew about this, she directly handed over the matter to the Inner Court Prison for them to investigate in detail, and it was important to find out where the poisonous snake came from.

In Biyun Palace, Princess Fengqing knew that Lu Yuning had told the Queen Mother about this, and the Queen Mother also asked people to check on the matter with great fanfare, she couldn't help but be a little panicked, she walked around the house a few times, sat on a chair, and asked Xin Yan: "They shouldn't find out anything, right?" ”

Those spies are people who they have cultivated with great difficulty in the Dongchi Kingdom, if they are found out by Dayong, her mother and imperial brother are afraid that they will not be able to spare themselves.

Xin Yan looked at Princess Fengqing, thinking that she had known today, why bother, if she had listened to her own persuasion that day, she would not have such worries now, those spies are very important, how can they be used in the harem to compete for favor.

However, Xin Yan couldn't say this, she could only shake her head and say: "Don't worry, Niangniang, they are very clean, and they shouldn't be able to find anything." ”

Xin Yan was just comforting Princess Fengqing, and she didn't know if she would find out, but Princess Fengqing took Xin Yan's comfort seriously.

She nodded and said, "That's right, they have been lurking in Dayong for so many years, and they haven't been discovered, so it is impossible to be found out so easily." ”

Xin Yan wanted to say that they hadn't been noticed before because they hadn't done anything before.

But now that they have moved, it's impossible to say whether they will be noticed.

Now I just hope that Dayong's inner court prison is a little hasty, and don't find any clues.

Otherwise, if they find a spy, it is very likely that they will pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and all the spies buried in Dayong in Dongchi will be wiped out.

But the methods of the people in the inner court prison are much more powerful than Xin Yan thought.

Within a few days, several spies from the Dongchi Kingdom were arrested from the palace by the Inner Court Prison.

In fact, they were able to make such rapid progress, thanks to the spy that Zhou Man pulled out of Ruichang Palace.

An inconspicuous little palace maid in Ruichang Palace turned out to be a spy planted by Dongchi Kingdom in Dayong.

Lu Yuning felt that the person who could put the snake bone flower into her bedroom unconsciously must be someone from their Ruichang Palace.

Therefore, when letting Zhou Man investigate, start with the inside of their Ruichang Palace.

After Zhou Man listened to Lu Yuning's words, he began to check the people of Ruichang Palace one by one.

In the end, I found out about the little palace maid.

As a spy of Dongchi Kingdom, that little palace maid had a very hard mouth, and she didn't say anything after being found out, and she insisted that she was wronged.

Lu Yuning saw that she couldn't ask anything from her mouth, so she asked Zhou Man to hand her over to the Inner Court Prison.

After entering the Inner Court Prison, the little palace maid was still hard-mouthed at first, but after the various torture instruments in the Inner Court Prison were used in turn, the little palace maid couldn't hold on, she wanted to die rather than give in, but the people in the Inner Court Prison didn't give her a chance to die at all, and in the end she still couldn't hold the punishment and told what she knew.

But she's just a little minion, she doesn't know much, she only knows who the person she contacts is.

I don't know how many people are like her.

But this is enough, and the inner court prison has caught several people with the same identity as the little palace maid.

These people are in all palaces, not only Ruichang Palace, but also the Shou'an Palace of the Queen Mother, and the Fu'an Palace of the Ming Taifei.

Fortunately, these people are not important people in the palaces, and most of them do sprinkling and sweeping or tending to flowers and plants in the yard.

But that's frightening enough.

After the queen mother was shocked, she was furious, and asked the inner court prison to thoroughly investigate the spies in the palace.

Later, the inner court prison pulled out four or five spies from the palace.

However, Dongchi and Dayong are still allies, and the Queen Mother didn't have a good idea for a while about the disposal of these spies, so she had to let the inner court imprison these people first, and then see how to deal with these people after Luo Chengjing returned to Beijing.

After the matter was almost found, the queen mother went to Ruichang Palace and told Lu Yunning about the appearance of poisonous snakes in Ruichang Palace.

The petals that lured the snake in Lu Yuning's room were given to the little palace maid in Lu Yuning's palace by other spies, so that the little palace maid could find a chance to put them in Lu Yuning's room.

As for the two poisonous snakes, they were sent into the palace by someone outside the palace, and they were called to the little palace maid, and asked the little palace maid to put them near Lu Yuning's bedroom while Lu Yuning was sleeping.

Since this matter involves the spies of Dongchi Kingdom, it means that it is inseparable from Princess Fengqing.

But the problem is that the person who did this thing never mentioned Princess Fengqing from beginning to end.

No one admitted that Princess Fengqing instructed them to do it.

In addition, Princess Fengqing is a princess who is kind, and the Queen Mother does not want to treat Princess Fengqing's sin at this juncture.

If you want to cure Princess Fengqing's crimes, at least you have to wait for the emperor to come back in person, and at that time there is no threat from Xirong, even if you want to tear your face with Dongchi, you are not afraid.

At this juncture, everything is still based on the harmony between the two countries.

The Queen Mother said a lot.

After listening to what the Queen Mother said, Lu Yuning said with a smile: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, the concubine understands, although the concubine was a little frightened this time, but after all, she was not injured, so forget about this matter for the time being." ”

Seeing Lu Yuning say this, the Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, "You are a sensible person, don't worry, when the emperor comes back, the mourning family will let the emperor compensate you well." ”

Lu Yuning didn't shirk either, and said with a smile: "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother first." ”

The Queen Mother talked to Lu Yuning for a while, and made love with the four princesses and grandchildren for a while before leaving Ruichang Palace with someone.

After the Queen Mother left, Qingzhi looked at the faint smile on Lu Yuning's face, and said a little unfairly for Lu Yuning: "Master, is this really the case?" ”
