It was inconvenient for King Xuan to enter the harem, so he returned to Changning Palace to play chess with his father. Aunt Zhao led Shen Yuyu to Yufeng Palace.
She didn't find anything along the way. After entering the Jade Phoenix Hall, Aunt Zhao took her directly to the dining room.
There are such dining rooms in Changning Hall and Yufeng Hall, which were used to open small stoves for emperors and queens. I don’t know that this is the same as in the palaces in history. Anyway, it was like this in Dasheng Kingdom.
Shen Yuxi entered the dining room, and as soon as she put on her bib, Aunt Zhao came in with a menu. Shen Yuxi saw that it was the same as the emperor's menu. It seemed that the Changning Palace also lacked the Queen's eyes and ears.
I found an excuse to get some spring water, and then I left only a few side dishes chefs in the dining room, and they started to get busy.
After a busy day, sweat broke out on my forehead. The last dish of pickled vegetables and meat was a little slow, and the eunuch manager of Yufeng Palace, Manager Yao, came to urge me.
"Why are you so slow? The queen has almost stopped using her chopsticks. There is still one dish left!" She pushed the door and saw that it was closed, and said angrily, "Why don't you show it to others? I'm afraid that others will learn from it. go?'
Aunt Zhao: "Excuse me, Mr. Yao, please let me know and I'll be fine soon."
"Hurry up!" Manager Yao left after urging. A gust of wind happened to blow as he passed by the window. Shen Yuyu, who was about to take the dishes out of the pot, suddenly sniffed, and a faint and vague fragrance came in. She turned her nostrils and looked out the window, seeing the figures of several father-in-laws passing by in the distance.
Shen Yuyu sniffed a few more times, and the fragrance had dissipated. It seemed to be slightly similar to the fragrance on Xia Luoluo's body, but it was not the same. Besides, there were several father-in-laws walking past, and the father-in-law could steal it. Human? Impossible.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyu relaxed his vigilance and continued working.
When the work was done and the Queen finished eating, she rewarded 'Little Shen Zi' with ten taels of silver.
A waiter brought out a piece of silver on a tray and said, "The queen is satisfied with her meal. I will reward you with ten taels of silver. Please thank me."
"Thank you, the Empress, for the reward. May you live forever." After Shen Yuxi thanked her, Aunt Zhao led her out.
After leaving the Yufeng Palace and coming to the palace road, they saw King Xuan coming from the Changning Palace, and the two of them left the palace together.
"Is the emperor's sister-in-law investigating Jin Yan's case three years ago?" On the way back to Prince Ye's Mansion, King Xuan asked Shen Yuyu. After staying in Prince Ye's Mansion for so long, he knew that Shen Yuyu was deeply worried about this matter.
"Yes." Shen Yue thought for a moment and answered truthfully.
I originally thought that since the privacy of many people was involved, she would just investigate it, but then I thought that without the help of King Xuan, this case would probably not be investigated.
"Did the emperor's sister-in-law have any new clues?"
"I did get a clue here, but I'm not sure yet whether it has anything to do with Jin Yan's case."
"What clues?" King Xuan changed his lazy demeanor. The case back then was so heart-wrenching. Who wouldn't want to find out the villain and bring justice to the law? "Let's talk about it when we get back," Shen Yuyu said.
It was still early when we returned to Yewang Mansion, so Shen Yuyu and Prince Xuan sat in the flower hall, drinking tea while continuing the previous topic.
Shen Yuyu took a sip of tea, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and cracked them while talking.
"Ding Xiaolian from the Yuling Palace made a deal with me a few days ago, and then gave me a piece of secret information for free. The Crown Princess of the East Palace had an affair with someone.'
King Xuan looked shocked. He held the tea cup to his lips for a long time without responding.
After a long time, he put the tea cup on the table and said incredulously, "The palace is so heavily guarded, who would be so brave? Could it be that the secret guards brought by the Crown Princess from Da Qi caused people to misunderstand?"
"No, not a secret guard." Shen Yuyu shook his head in the negative, and then told about Charlotte's unique 'perfume'.
"If it's a secret guard, it's impossible for him to smell like her, so this thing is probably true."
"It's none of our business that the Crown Princess has an affair with a guard." Prince Xuan said, "But since the Emperor's sister-in-law suspects that he is related to Jin Yan's case, the Emperor's brother will definitely cooperate with you to get to the bottom of this matter.'
"Okay." Shen Yue nodded, "But you have to check it slowly and don't alert the snake."
In the next few days, Shen Yuyu pretended to be little Shen Zi and followed King Xuan around the palace every day.
Somehow, the concubines in the harem knew that there was a little Shenzi next to King Xuan who was very good at cooking, so they all came to invite her to cook and open a small stove. Naturally, King Xuan was not happy, but Shen Yuyu wanted to do it. Searching for clues, they were left to their own devices.
On the sixth day, Song Zhu, the maid beside Xia Luoluo, stopped them.
"I have met His Highness King Xuan." Song Zhu bowed to King Xuan, "This servant is the maid next to the Crown Princess Zhaoshu Palace. The Queen heard that the little Shenzi next to His Highness has excellent cooking skills. I wonder if His Highness King Xuan can do it?" Let him go over and cook two dishes to appetize my wife."
After working so hard for so many days, isn't Shen Yuyu waiting for someone to come from Zhaoshu Palace? Hehe, as expected, this room is here.
Then he said a few words to King Xuan in a tacit understanding and followed Song Zhu away.
This was Shen Yu's first time entering Zhaoshu Palace. Because Xia Luoluo loved to spray that kind of perfume, he could smell the strong fragrance when he passed by Xia Luoluo. If that man had ever slept with Xia Luoluo, If you don’t change your clothes or take a shower after going to bed, you will definitely get this smell on your body.
The strange thing was that she had almost visited the entire palace and never smelled semen on any of the guards.
After the dishes were ready, the prince came when Charlotte was preparing to eat.
As soon as Wei Yuande ate the food on the table, he squinted his narrow eyes and said, "This young father-in-law must have learned his cooking skills at Ye Wang's Mansion, but the food at Penglai Restaurant is still slightly inferior."
Of course, it was slightly inferior. Except for the emperor, when Shen Yue was cooking in other palaces, he mixed the spring water in the space with ordinary water to avoid arousing suspicion.
But this alone is already delicious. Wei Yuande was soaked in rain and dew during this period, and was almost drained of his body, leaving a pair of panda eyes.
He had eaten all the food on the table, and when he was burping after eating, Xiao Linzi hurried in to report.
"No, no, no, it's not good. Zhong Liangdi of Moyun Palace was bitten by a poisonous snake. The imperial doctor said that the child may not be saved. His Highness, please go over and have a look.
"What?" Prince Wei Yuande stood up in confusion upon hearing this. He was very busy here going around spreading leaves, but over there his five-month-old child was in danger of being saved again? God was just teasing him. ?
He said angrily: "Where did the snake come from in this winter? Or is it a poisonous snake~~Are all the servants of Moyun Palace dead?"
"The chief of guards went over to check and said that the snake was warmer hiding near the kang, so he ended his hibernation early and climbed into Zhong Liangdi's bed.
"What a shame~~" Wei Yuande cursed a few words and left anxiously.
"Xiao Linzi?" Shen Yuyu was about to leave Zhaoshu Palace. She heard the conversation between Wei Yuande and Xiao Linzi clearly and hurriedly chased after Xiao Linzi.
"Zhong Liangdi was bitten by a venomous snake, right? Can that venomous snake be killed? If it's killed, pick it up and bring it to me, and I'll use it to make wine." As he spoke, he nudged Xiao Linzi with his elbow.
Xiao Lin was so happy that his bones were numb, "Okay, then you wait outside the East Palace and I will find a way to get it for you."
