Chapter 220 The Inner Ghost
When the old lady Jia and others saw Yingchun coming back, they hurried forward to inquire about Ding'er's safety. Yingchun smiled and comforted her, but did not mention that she was also injured.
After seeing off the old lady and the others, Yingchun straightened her face and began to take care of Ding'er's distress.
Before Yingchun could speak, Xiuju stepped forward to report the matter.
"Your Majesty ordered that the palace people of Changle Palace not go out, stay together and supervise each other. It seems that someone panicked and showed their feet. The partner in the same room just noticed the abnormality and reported it. The slaves are already watching. I'm watching them, how to deal with them, please show me." Xiuju said.
"Extreme means in extraordinary times, just like using heavy codes in troubled times, you lead someone to arrest the person directly, and then search the person's belongings carefully." Yingchun said.
"Yes" Xiuju replied,
"Also, the previous order not to act alone and supervise each other is still valid until the truth about the murder of the eldest son of the emperor is revealed." Yingchun said.
The clues were already messy, and she didn't want someone to muddy the water to make it more difficult for her to investigate the case.
"Yes"
"The servants around the pond have controlled it?" Yingchun asked again.
"Go back to your mother, all of them have been quarantined and controlled." Mother Wei replied.
"Very good, you take people down to ask, one by one, I don't believe that there are so many people working on errands, and no one will see such conspicuous things as breaking the guardrail." Yingchun said.
Why is Ding'er slipping?Because that place has been tampered with, as long as there is weight on it, that place will tilt into the pond.The guardrail that slid down the pond with Dinger has obvious traces of damage, and the cut surface is as smooth as a knife. Strict calculations are definitely not a means that can be achieved in the short term, let alone a temporary idea.
It must have taken a lot of thought to achieve that level, and it must be a person who often goes in and out of the pond, and she wants to be unnoticed unless she does nothing. She doesn't believe that no one will find out who did it.
Perhaps, when someone stayed there abnormally, others didn't pay attention to it, but afterwards, when they thought of where someone was plotting against the eldest prince, they must have come back to their senses and noticed the abnormality that happened before.
As for Wei Momo, she collected the information and interrogated them one by one, and she always found what she wanted.
As for the murderer behind the scenes, Yingchun didn't want to tolerate her even for a quarter of an hour, so she didn't investigate step by step, but went multi-pronged, trying to catch flowers everywhere and catch them in one fell swoop.
Picking up the jade pendant that seduced Ding'er, Yingchun always felt familiar, as if she had seen someone wearing it before, but she couldn't remember who it was.
"Xiutong, ask someone to take the jade pendant to the internal office to see whose book this jade pendant is registered in." Yingchun said.
"Your Majesty, if it's just the origin of this jade pendant, you don't need to check, the servant will know who the jade pendant is." Xiu Tong said.
"Whose?" Yingchun asked.
The jade pendant that Xiu Tong could recognize, the owner must be the number one person in the palace.
"It's Princess Jiayao's jade pendant, do you still remember? The concubine Xian and the concubine were in danger together. In times of crisis, the concubine sacrificed herself to protect each other, and the concubine Xian gave birth to Princess Jiayao safely, because it was the concubine who protected Jiayao that Princess Jiayao was born safely." , the imperial concubine felt that she was destined to be with Princess Jiayao, so she presented a jade pendant she was wearing with her to Princess Jiayao.
Concubine Xian was grateful for the protection of the noble concubine. When Princess Jiayao was young, she often wore this jade pendant for Princess Jiayao. It was not until later, after Concubine Xian took refuge in Yongning Palace, that she no longer wore this jade pendant for Princess Jiayao. "
No wonder Xiutong knew about Yupei's origin, but she didn't.
She and Concubine Xian gave birth on the same day, and when the concubine presented the jade pendant, she happened to be in confinement and could not go out. Later, after confinement, Concubine Xian had a rift with her because of certain things, and did not have much contact with her.
Later, when she reconciled with Concubine Xian and was able to see Jiayao, Concubine Xian had a rift with the honeymoon concubine for some reason, and stopped wearing this jade pendant for Jiayao, making her never see Jiayao Wear this jade pendant.
The reason why it feels familiar is probably on the day of delivery, when the three concubines went to Defei together, the noble concubine wore it before!
"Someone ask Concubine Xian where this jade pendant has gone?" Yingchun said.
How old is Princess Jiayao, what can she understand, but it is an adult's business and children are involved in it!If Yongning Palace is involved in this matter, the person who planned it must be Concubine Xian.
The evidence is in front of me, but because the evidence is too obvious, it seems that someone deliberately set the blame, and Concubine Xian is innocent, but it is not sure whether Concubine Xian did the opposite, so she let Xiu Tong Go ask and see what Concubine Xian has to say.
No matter what is going on in the palace, there are too many people staring at it. Ding'er's accident and her rush to Qianqing Palace and everyone in the Jia family stay in the palace. No need to inquire, everyone should know that there is something wrong with her Changle Palace Bar?
Regardless of whether Concubine Xian is involved in this matter or not, or just watching from the other side, I hope Concubine Xian has a breakthrough for her to find out the real culprit!
One by one, they left the house one by one, and the news that came back after being executed was carefully collected and studied by Yingchun.
It's just that there doesn't seem to be any good progress at the moment.
At this time, I saw Xiuju who was sent to search for spies in the palace hurried in.
"Your Majesty, I found something." Xiuju said.
"Speak quickly!" Yingchun spoke a little too fast because she was excited.
The desire to quickly find the murderer and bring him to justice is so urgent that when there is no progress, she feels like sitting on the tip of a needle.
"What's unusual is Guixiang in the C room. Her roommate Axiu found that ever since the empress ordered the palace people not to go out or go out alone, the roommate Guixiang became a little anxious, frowning from time to time, and kept asking when She was able to go out, and Axiu even found out that Gui Xiang had intended to leave her alone and act alone, but after being called out by her, she forced her to say that she just had diarrhea and wanted to go to the toilet."
"What did the search find?" Yingchun asked.
She knew that if it was just these, Xiuju would not have such an ugly face, there must be other discoveries by her.
"After Axiu reported it, under the orders of the empress, the servants led people to search Guixiang's belongings. During the period, they found that Guixiang's eyes lacked confidence, and she secretly glanced in one direction from time to time. The servants ordered people to follow Guixiang's line of sight to search and found a handkerchief."
"What's wrong with the handkerchief?" Yingchun asked.
"There seems to be a kind of medicinal powder on the handkerchief. Originally, the colorless and odorless servant could not find it, but Guixiang was very worried about this handkerchief. After careful inspection, the servant found that the handkerchief was stained with some white powder."
After Xiuju finished speaking, she signaled the people around her to present their hands.
Yingchun stepped forward to check, sure enough, if you look closely at an ordinary handkerchief, you will find a little bit of white powder stained on it.
"Tell the imperial physician!" Yingchun's face darkened instantly.
The secret medicine carried into Changle Palace in such a secret way is probably extremely poisonous!Moreover, the three people who will be drugged are just their mother and child!
After a while, an imperial physician rushed over, and he was an acquaintance, that is, Imperial Physician Zeng who was ordered by the emperor to take care of his body for Yingchun.
Imperial physician Zeng was relieved to see that Yingchun was fine after entering the palace.
People from Changle Palace came to the Imperial Hospital to announce the imperial doctor. He thought that something had happened to Concubine Shu, he was taken aback, and rushed to Changle Palace in a hurry.
Fortunately, it wasn't that something happened to Concubine Shu, he was afraid that some kind of concubine Shu would be angered by the emperor, after all, he was now ordering to take care of Concubine Shu's body.
"Doctor Zeng is here, can you see what's stuck on this handkerchief?" Yingchun asked, pointing to the handkerchief.
"Yes" Imperial Physician Zeng stepped forward, first looked at it, then smelled it, and finally took out something similar to a glove from the medicine box and put it on his hand, carefully collecting the white powder on the handkerchief onto a piece of paper.
"What is the white powder? Weichen already has some names, but it still needs to be confirmed." Imperial Physician Zeng said.
"What do you suspect this is?" Yingchun asked.
"I'm not sure yet," Imperial Physician Zeng said.
"Tell me, I won't take it seriously. I'll wait until you find out what the white powder is." She was eager to know what it was, and she also knew that if these conservative imperial doctors dared to say it, it would be considered a It's not the final result, and it's almost the same.
Doctor Zeng paused and said, "It's the pollen of an unknown flower. It is colorless and odorless, but it can be dissolved in fabrics such as brocade and silk. If you accidentally inhale this substance into your nostrils, it will cause fever and high fever. Symptoms are similar to wind-cold." The symptoms are exactly the same, but if they are treated with the prescription for wind and cold, it will only make the patient's condition worse, and it will be difficult to be cured after taking more than three doses of the medicine."
Yingchun was very frightened. It turned out that the only way was to fall into the water, but it turned out that falling into the water was just a prelude, and there was a bigger conspiracy behind it. The murderer was afraid that Ding'er would be fine after being rescued, so he set up a series of poisonous schemes. Falling into the water in this kind of weather is easy to catch a cold and get sick, but the murderer was afraid that Ding'er would be well, so he prepared this kind of poison and asked people to put this drug on Ding'er's body, one by one. Huan, for fear that Ding'er would survive.
Okay, very good, if she knows who is the one who designed all of this... Now she can't wait to tear him apart.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, get angry and hurt your body!" Imperial Physician Zeng persuaded, "My Majesty, don't worry, although the symptoms of being poisoned by this poison are the same as those of wind and cold, but if you are skilled, you can diagnose the difference. I don't have this kind of thing." Ability, but with the ability of the emperor, you will be aware of it immediately."
Therefore, the people who prepared these things must not know that the emperor knows medical skills, and is a master of pharmacy, and is especially good at these difficult and miscellaneous diseases.
"If you take a dose of wind-cold medicine with the ability of a humble minister, you can also detect something strange based on the patient's reaction." Imperial Physician Zeng added, so, Concubine Shu, you must not get angry. You must know the current state of Concubine Shu. Physical condition, but related to his life.
If Ding'er is sick, the emperor will definitely come to visit, and the emperor will definitely take Ding'er's pulse when he comes to visit, this is probably the idea that can make Yingchun feel better at this moment!
"Be optimistic about Guixiang, I will personally interrogate you." Yingchun said.
"Yes"
At this time, Xiutong who was sent to Yongning Palace for questioning came back.
"Why does Princess Jiayao's jade pendant become the most deadly link in plotting the life of the eldest son of the emperor? What does Xianfei say?" Yingchun asked.
