The Queen now dislikes Tang Wan'er in various ways, but she is not that idiotic and shows it immediately. Anyway, the threat is gone now, so it's no big deal.
"Okay, I'm exhausted, please step back."
Ignoring Tang Wan'er's "concerned" inquiry, the Empress issued an eviction order.
At this moment, Tang Wan'er suddenly smelled the fragrance coming from nowhere, it was the fragrance of jasmine.
Why is there the fragrance of jasmine in this queen's place? What is going on?
Is it possible that the Queen is also suspected? There is no motive. This is a serial murder case.
This confused Tang Wan'er.
Suddenly, an old nanny appeared in front of Tang Wan'er and the others. The nanny had white hair and was quite old. She was carrying a bowl of bird's nest soup for the Queen to enjoy.
Tang Wan'er felt that this grandma's appearance and behavior were a bit suspicious. This was due to her not very friendly face.
However, Tang Wan'er did not go further because the Queen wanted them to leave and they had no excuse to stay. Chu Jieyu was not that ignorant, so she had no choice but to take Tang Wan'er and leave Fengzao Palace where the Queen lived.
The next step is to visit the Cold Palace and check out the specific conditions inside.
Tang Wan'er borrowed Luanluo from Grandma Yilan, and the two of them pretended to be concubines sent by the queen to visit the cold palace.
"Dear old masters Jin An, the small country in the Western Region has recently paid tribute to some people. The Queen specially ordered two slaves to send some to the ladies..."
Tang Wan'er said this, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the nanny in charge of the Leng Palace - there was only one nanny in the Leng Palace.
Mammy said, these old masters are deaf and mute and cannot hear clearly. They are all in their twilight years.
The nun went to the masters and shouted loudly. It took a while before the ladies came to their senses and thanked the queen.
Tang Wan'er looked at these living dead and couldn't think of any ability they had to commit murder.
After looking at them for a while, I found that these people were not suspicious.
That's strange. All doubts point to this. There can't be any clues.
Tang Wan'er then asked the old nanny: "Are all the masters in this palace here? Is there anyone else?"
The nanny hesitated to speak, then pointed to a room in the back.
There lives an old woman with gray hair. I heard she is a beauty. Her surname is Hu.
Hu Meiren was lying on the bed with the window ajar. She looked very weak. She couldn't even stand up, and she couldn't be the murderer. But her face always gave people a strange feeling.
Tang Wan'er asked Luan Luo to deliver the things to the beauty.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, bringing with it the fragrance of jasmine. When Tang Wan'er approached Hu Meiren's bed, she realized that the smell was stronger here.
Most of the reasons for using strange fragrances are to cover up body odor or to increase charm. If an old woman uses it, it is more because she misses her youth and does not want to admit that she is getting old.
Tang Wan'er also discovered that there were many medicine bottles and flower petals in Hu Meiren's room.
"Is this beauty very ill? Why are there so many medicine bottles?"
Tang Waner asked.
Grandma replied: "Hu Meiren's health is not very good, but some medicine bottles are kept in case she gets sick again."
Are you ready?
"Sister...is that you? Sister is really young and beautiful..."
