Three days later, Xuanming Palace

Jiang Li looked at the half bowl of blood on the table, which was no longer black, and said with a smile: "As expected, now only the poison of the viscera remains." ”

Everyone present saw it, the blood was red, it was really a "wonderful hand rejuvenation", even Ye Wangye, who was about to be blood-collected, looked at Jiang Li and regarded him as a life-saving benefactor.

General Hua was also relieved, he was so tired in the past three days that he was even more painful than when he led his troops to fight.

Looking at his father, whose face gradually became normal, and even had an occasional smile on his face, Ye Lan didn't know how many times she thanked Jiang Li.

Now that the most dangerous period is over, other major issues need to be taken care of.

The first is to find out the person who poisoned the enemy and arrest the mastermind behind the scenes, then the truth of the tragic massacre of the border army, and the courtship mission that had arrived in the royal city yesterday.

Obviously, none of them will be easy at the moment.

The person who poisoned him has no clues, and if he does not find out for a day, he is a potential threat.

After listening to Li Xiang's report, it is said that there is no secret transfer of monks between countries, although some suspicions have been eliminated, but the truth is still unknown.

Now that the border is in danger, it can be said that the wind and rain are shaking, and King Ye has not been poisoned yet, but at this time, Huoli Kingdom, which is also one of the kingdoms, came to ask for relatives, no matter how you look at it, it is ill-intentioned.

Ye Lan is a woman after all, and everything is enough to make her worried.

Fortunately, there are some things that she doesn't need to say, and Jiang Li will also take the initiative to help.

Because, there are some things he also wants to figure out, especially the person who poisoned him, which may be related to something back then.

In the past few days, he asked Qing'er and Chu Feng to investigate around the palace and learned some clues, and after crossing the blood for King Ye, he had to find a way to confirm it.

......

Ruolan Palace, the dormitory of Princess Yelan

Ye Lan stood outside the palace gate, and at this moment in the courtyard, under the leadership of the female officials and the eunuch, almost all the palace maids and inner eunuchs in the palace were waiting in the courtyard, and occasionally whispered, all guessing what was about to happen.

At the same time, in the garden of the palace, several exquisite pastries were displayed on the stone table beside a stone road.

At this moment, Jiang Li was sitting on the side, Chu Feng and Qing'er were standing behind him on the left and right, and there were flowers and grasses on both sides.

Not long after, under the leadership of Ye Lan, all the people who had gathered before came to the vicinity of Jiang Li and the others, and everyone was a little curious about what the purpose of bringing them here was.

In fact, Ye Lan didn't know what Jiang Li wanted to do, but at this moment, she could be said to have absolute trust in Jiang Li, so she obeyed everything.

There was only an ordinary-looking inner eunuch behind the chief eunuch, with a somewhat abnormal expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The eyes of the three of them also looked at everyone, and then Jiang left his mouth and said: "Everyone, it is not for anything special to summon you here, but for me and the princess, you have worked hard recently, so you want to be rewarded." ”

And the people thought that something was important, and it was great for them to go unpunished.

Of course, it would be better if there was a reward, and no one said no to say no, waiting for what kind of reward it was.

"Ordinary gold and silver will be sent to your dwelling, and everyone will have a share. ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Li pointed to a few pastries on the table, "The pastries on this table were ordered by the princess to be ordered by the most famous master in the royal city, I believe most of you have never tasted them." ”

Under normal circumstances, if the nobles of each palace in the palace have leftover pastries, they will give some to their subordinates, but not everyone can taste such good things.

Although it is not very valuable, it can be said that it is well prepared, so everyone is looking forward to it.

"However, my sister accidentally knocked over some of them when she was passing by here just now, but fortunately, they have all been cleaned up, and I believe you won't mind too much. As he spoke, he also pointed to a flower and grass field next to the road.

The inner eunuch and the palace maid are only subordinates in the palace, and they don't say whether they mind, at this moment, the princess is here, and the one who speaks is the great benefactor of Chiba Country, no one will know at all, and no one dares to refuse.

Regardless of what they thought, Jiang Li continued to look at himself and said: "Such a rare pastry, please don't waste it, take a piece of each, and taste it!"

After finishing speaking, no one moved, and without Ye Lan's signal, Huang E took the initiative to take the lead and took one of the pieces at random.

At the same time, he glanced at Jiang Li with a smile, and bowed slightly, I don't know if it was out of gratitude or something else.

With her taking the lead, the palace maids behind her naturally stepped forward in turn to take a piece each, followed by the chief eunuch and the inner eunuch.

No more, no less, exactly one piece per person, apparently calculated in advance.

Everyone stood back where they came, but no one took the initiative to eat it, so Jiang left his mouth and said, "Everyone, you're welcome, please!"

This is a requirement for each of them to eat in front of the people in the here and now.

Ye Lan watched quietly from the side, without any words, she also wanted to know what this person was going to do.

After a while, most of the people had finished eating the pastries one after another, and there were only a few people left who had not tasted them.

"What's wrong??, isn't it delicious?, or is it dirty?" Ye Lan was obviously unhappy with the attitude of these people.

couldn't help but glance at her, Jiang Wei thought that this person really believed in himself, and took the initiative to cooperate without asking for a reason.

For everyone, since the pastry is made by a famous teacher, naturally no one dares to say that it tastes bad in public.

Moreover, every piece they get their hands on is clean, or at least looks clean.

In the end, whatever the reason, the princess had already spoken, and she had no choice but to bite the bullet.

At this moment, the only one who has not yet obeyed the order is the one behind the eunuch.

This person looked very familiar, Ye Lan recognized him as the person who served beside his father, he should have seen him since he was a child, but he was not in the palace all the year round and was not sure.

At that moment, he directly asked: "Report your name! Why don't you eat it?"

When the eunuch saw that she was referring to the people around her, he panicked and scolded secretly: This minion, isn't this scolding yourself!

Then he shouted, "Bold Mingzhuo, you dog minion, dare not listen to the princess's orders?"

Mingzhuo immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Princess forgiveness!"

"Why don't you taste it?" Ye Lan frowned and asked again.

Lowering his head, Ming Zhuo's eyes were a little flustered, he didn't know what to think, and then replied in a whisper: "Princess Qiyu, the slave is reluctant, and wants to stay and go back to the room to taste it." ”

"It doesn't matter, if you like it, when you are young, this palace will order someone to make another one for you. ”

Looking at Ye Lan's attitude, I am afraid that even if there is a side reason, it is useless and difficult to shirk.

Raising his head, Ming Zhuo looked at the things in his hand, and then looked at the flowers and grass that Fang Cai Jiang pointed to, looking embarrassed, and even wanted to discard the things in his hand immediately.

I see!

With a slight bow, Jiang Li stepped forward, "This father-in-law, how long has it been since he entered the palace?"

"Mr. Hui, it's been more than ten years since the slave entered the palace," Ming Zhuo replied after looking up at him.

In this regard, Jiang Li seemed to be a little amused, "Oh, does my father-in-law often go out of the palace?"

"The slave has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has lived in the palace for many years, but he will go out of the palace once a month to procure, but he has never been out of the royal city. ”

"When was the last time my father-in-law left the palace?"

"The convention in the palace, half a month ago", although I don't know what the other party's purpose is, Mingzhuo still answered seriously.

Looking at the chief eunuch in charge of the internal prison, Jiang Li seemed to be asking if what Ming Zhuo said was true.

"Sir, the old slave Deng Ping is the chief supervisor of the internal prison, and he can prove that everything this person said is true. ”

These things can't be hidden from the people around them, and when you ask, you will know if they are true, so the eunuch did not lie.

Nodding, Jiang Li asked again: "Did someone walk with you half a month ago?"

Ming Zhuo immediately pointed out seven or eight internal eunuchs and palace maids, and several of them also said that there was indeed something to do.

"When you buy, do you go together, or do you buy separately?"

Usually two people, but on that day, the "little dezi" who was supposed to walk with the slave suddenly felt unwell when he set off, and he begged the slave not to report it for fear of scolding, so the slave went alone. When he had finished speaking, a man behind him immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Jiang Li didn't look at the man, just stared at Ming Zhuo, and said lightly: "So you found an opportunity to find poison to harm the king?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was taken aback, how could it be said that it was poisoned?

The palace maids and the inner eunuchs all stayed away from Ming Zhuo, if he was really a murderer, it would be too terrible.

Only Ye Lan stared at him viciously, for fear that he would run away, and at the same time, soldiers came forward to surround him.

Not only that, seeing this, several people immediately opened their mouths to accuse.

So this man was at the king's side. ”

"That's right, last month, this person fell asleep when he was on duty, and he was scolded by the king fiercely, and he must have a grudge. ”

"Xiao Zhuozi likes to be lazy and slippery on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be such a vicious person. ”

"No wonder, this person has been sneaky since he came back from the palace last time!"

“......”
