A palace maid who had dealt with him before saw Zhichun and was surprised, but said: "Your master has been released, why are you still crying? Is there anything else?"
"Yes, I let it go, but... alas, I won't mention it anymore." Zhichun stopped talking.
When the maid heard that there was something in her words, she refused to let her go and begged her again and again.
Zhichun was tortured until he had no choice but to say: "Although my master is innocent, guess what?"
She approached the palace maid and muttered mysteriously.
The palace maid was shocked: "Are those two young eunuchs coming from Cangchen Palace?"
"Yes, they are like two door gods. They are just staring at my master. I don't know what he is here for. They look like they are not afraid of anything and everything. They look so scared!"
"They are not looking for your master..." The palace maid thought of a possibility and immediately covered her mouth.
"What?" Zhichun asked: "What are you looking for, my master?"
The palace maid looked around and made sure there was no one there before whispering: "You know, the empresses in each palace are not afraid of people from Zhuangning Palace looking for them, but they are afraid of people from Cangchen Palace coming. In the past, when Concubine Li was still Concubine Li, Cangchen
Those little eunuchs from the palace went there to deal with each other several times, and they became the current concubines, as well as Qin Meiren, Yu Jieyu..."
The palace maid laughed dryly: "This is what you said, not me, hehehehe..."
"It's not that Aijia refuses to move, it's that whenever he moves, he becomes stinky and sticky with sweat, which makes Aijia even more uncomfortable."
"Slave Guan Linglong looked strange after learning the true cause of Wu Meiren's death, but she quickly disappeared. At dawn, while the slaves were not paying attention, she bumped her head into the cell and died."
This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that there are two new little eunuchs who look like copper peas, specially sent by Cangchen Palace!
One of the concubines sighed: "So what if I was lucky enough to be innocent? Isn't it because I have been rejected by Lord Long Live? With those two little eunuchs watching me, always on tenterhooks and unable to relax at all, this feeling is the most uncomfortable."
Around lunch time, Yuchi Gong arrived at Zhuangning Palace.
"The medicine is not good after drinking it. The Queen Mother's body cannot eat cold things now. The summer heat is coming, and there is no iced fruits to appetize. The Queen Mother can't eat anything." Aunt Qin frowned.
Nanny Qin has lost a lot of weight these days following the Queen Mother, and she is worried about losing weight.
Yuchi Gong got off the court, changed his regular clothes, and headed to Zhuangning Palace. He took the opportunity to listen to the investigation progress of Wu Fang'er's case.
The poisonous snake is hidden too deep, so check the oriole first.
The most deceptive thing in this world is that nine percent of it is true and one percent of it is false. Linglong knows this very well.
They took the opportunity of sending people out on errands to ask people to inquire about information.
And she committed suicide to cover up the fact that there was a master behind her.
Yuchi Gong was surprised: "The palace maid committed suicide?"
Yuchi Gong believed that most of Linglong's words were true. It was true that Wu Meiren wanted to frame the thief, and it was also true that she committed murder and forged a suicide note to frame the crime.
The person next to him bowed and nodded: "Yes, the palace maid named Linglong said that Wu Meiren wanted her to frame Wu Meiren, so she followed the plan and asked people to pretend to be from Zhuang Ning Palace to lure Wu Meiren to Jinghong Hall, but Wu Meiren mistakenly took it.
She was poisoned and died, so she had to kill Xiaochan and forge a suicide note to blame Wu Meiren. After explaining these things, she looked for an opportunity to commit suicide."
Yu Chigong's eyes were cold, the oriole and the poisonous snake were hidden in the depths without a trace, and the clues seemed to have been broken.
If this continues, the Queen Mother may not be able to bear it any longer.
"The Ai family will keep these medicines and drink them well. Don't worry, Emperor. The Ai family will be fine. They will be fine in a while."
Yuchi Gong sent the imperial doctor for a diagnosis and found out that the Empress Dowager's insomnia was getting worse. In addition, she had lost her appetite in the bitter summer and was getting thinner.
Soon, word spread in the harem that Wu Meiren was released, one of her slaves died, and another abandoned her.
In order to protect the master behind her, he also protected the person who had the deepest hidden plan.
He ordered: "The palace lady is so shrewd, there must be a reason why she has to commit suicide. Go and find out if there are any relatives outside the palace who are in the hands of others. Also find out where the disfiguring poison came from."
Linglong said that the pot with the two evil insects was accidentally found when she was looking for a Yin-Yang pot for Wu Fang'er. There were three pots in total, one Yin-Yang pot and two ordinary pots. Because of their unique style, they were just right for her situation.
"Yes, I will check immediately."
The real cause of her death was that a long needle was inserted into the back of her head. The murderer poured poison into her immediately when she died, creating signs of poisoning.
All the concubines hid in their respective palaces to watch what was going on outside, not daring to move around as usual for fear of getting burned.
After investigation, it was found that Xiaochan was strangled and hung from a beam, the suicide note was written in Linglong's handwriting, and the clothes in Zhuangning Palace were also obtained by Linglong. These are consistent with Linglong's statement.
In addition, Wu Fang'er did not die of poisoning.
Linglong also doesn’t know who the palace maid actually led Lihua to Jinghong Hall.
The Queen Mother felt extremely guilty, like an ordinary old lady sitting in front of her son and kept explaining.
He had lunch with the Queen Mother and talked a lot with her.
Finally, he personally watched the Queen Mother take a nap before getting up and going out to ask Nanny Qin for details.
…
"Insomnia is an old problem. It doesn't matter. If you can't sleep at night, just sleep more during the day."
Yuchi Gong held the Queen Mother's hand, still worried.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's heavily painted face was full of fatigue and listlessness, and she had lost a layer of weight, he felt helpless and distressed.
She had never even heard of what a double evil insect was.
After hearing this, Zhichun stared: "You mean they are here to catch my master for his mistakes? Why is this? Do the superiors still suspect that my master is guilty?"
"Now it's just because the weather is hot that I lose my appetite. When the weather gets cooler in autumn and the summer sickness is gone, I'll have an appetite again."
At the same time, when the various palaces learned that Wu Fang'er's death not only alarmed the Zhuang Ning Palace, the Emperor also personally issued an order to investigate and even had someone take over the case from the Criminal Division.
But Linglong couldn't explain where the poisonous pill that Xiao Junzi used to commit suicide came from.
During the process, the Queen Mother took the initiative to ask about Wu Fang'er's case. Yuchi Gong simply said that Wu Fang'er suffered the consequences, but did not say anything else to prevent the Queen Mother from thinking too much.
She sighed: "Wu Meiren offered a sour plum soup drink earlier, which can relieve polydipsia and relieve summer heat. It is a drink that strengthens the spleen and appetite, but the Queen Mother refused to use it. Alas, this old slave really doesn't know what to do."
"Drink sour plum soup..." Yuchi Gong muttered these words and thought slightly: "Wu Meiren can see what is wrong with the Queen Mother?"
"Ah, I don't know this." Nanny Qin shook her head and said: "Last time when I was looking for Wu Meiren, she heard that the Queen Mother had lost her appetite and gave her a prescription to try. I gave you that prescription.
The imperial doctor has looked at it and said it is indeed very good for the Queen Mother."
Yuchi Gong asked Nanny Qin to stop, and thoughtfully left Zhuangning Palace and walked towards Tingli Courtyard.
It sounds like the little thief even understands pharmacology. Is there any way to cure the Queen Mother?
