Mu Jin was not surprised by the words of the eldest palace maid. After all, she was the only one who knew what was more and what was missing in this room.
She warned, "Have you noticed that there is a sweet smell in my house?"
After hearing Hibiscus's question, the guards immediately nodded.
The eldest maid covered her veil because she came in, so she didn't smell the smell, but she still said doubtfully, "Can't you not smell the fragrance of flowers, nor can you see them?"
"Yes, so as soon as I came back, I searched all over the house for the source of that scent."
"I think if there are no accidents, the sweet scent should be the cause of hallucination. If you don't mind it, you can help me find the source of that scent."
With Hibiscus's reminder, they started looking for things and had a goal. After thoroughly searching the house, Hibiscus found a white flower bud under her pillow.
The guards only found flower buds of the same color in Hibiscus's wardrobe.
Although they still don't know the origin of this bud.
But as long as you get closer and smell it carefully, you will find that the sweet fragrance on the flowers is the same as the sweet fragrance in the house.
Hibiscus hates everything related to flowers. Naturally, she will not take the initiative to put such floral fragrance under her pillow or on her clothes.
Moreover, the floral fragrance can also induce hallucinations, so this is basically a vicious poisoning incident.
Soon after, the eldest maid found out the maid who had been helping Mu Jin clean up the house since Mu Jin had not been in the house for the past few days.
Although the palace maid knew that there was a commotion outside, she didn't know what was going on outside, so she just followed the crowd and watched the excitement. She never thought that one day she would eat melons on herself.
Until the two guards said to her, "Aunt Mujin asked you to come over."
The little palace maid has not yet understood that she is also a member of the melon.
The little palace maid followed the guards and finally reached the first scene of eating melon.
I finally saw Aunt Mujin. At this time, the lights were brightly lit in front of Aunt Mujin’s door. Everyone just blocked it with water. There were two large white double-petaled flowers scattered on the ground.
Caixia, who was a grand palace maid like Hibiscus, saw the palace maid approaching, and immediately said in a cold voice, "Kneel down quickly!"
Hearing what the other party said, the little palace maid looked around blankly, then pointed at herself and said, "Are you talking about me?"
Caixia immediately said coldly, "Who else could it be besides you?"
The little palace maid could only kneel down immediately.
"Are you cleaning Hibiscus' house these days?" Caixia asked.
The little palace maid only nodded slightly when she heard this.
Caixia then pointed to the two flowers on the ground and asked, "Is this the one you threw in the hibiscus house?"
After hearing Caixia's words, the little palace maid immediately opened her eyes and shook her head, "Aunt Hibiscus is allergic to pollen, how could I put this in her house!"
Although the little palace maid shook her head vigorously, Caixia obviously did not believe her words.
However, because Mu Jin had been with this little palace maid for so long, she actually didn't quite believe that she would put this in her room.
She knelt down and asked, "If you didn't put this thing there, then who did?"
Naturally, the little palace maid didn't know anything about it. She shook her head gently, "I don't know."
"Then do you know who has been in the house?" Mujin continued to ask.
The little palace maid looked at Hibiscus with tears in her eyes. She still shook her head, "I don't know."
Looking at the appearance of the little palace maid, Mu Jin felt that she could not have done this. After all, this child was timid and had a cowardly personality. How could she do such a thing.
Moreover, this little palace maid can go to her own room. In fact, other palace people can also go there, but most people will not go to their own room, and those who go to their own room must not be people doing serious business.
When she thought of this, Hibiscus unconsciously looked towards the other spectators.
Perhaps some of these people have been in their own houses.
And where did this flower come from, she was really curious. .
However, Caixia saw that Hibiscus, who was originally interrogating the little girl, did not
When she spoke again, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hibiscus, what are you thinking about."
Hibiscus looked at the flower branch, and then said softly, "I'm wondering where this flower branch came from."
After hearing Hibiscus's words, Caixia seemed to be recalling that there were the most flowers in the imperial garden, but these flowers should not have such hallucinogenic ingredients.
But after all, he was an old man in the palace, and he was well-informed. Caixia quickly came up with an inference: "I remember that in the palace where His Highness the Ninth Prince's mother was, there seemed to be some exotic flowers and plants. There were some little ones there before. The eunuch mistakenly entered the ruined palace, and everyone who was fascinated by the flowers and plants in the palace was dumbfounded. Could this flower be the flower there?"
Hearing this, Mu Jin only asked one guard to help him confirm whether the flower was the flower that bloomed in the house of the Ninth Prince's biological mother.
He got confirmation soon after.
So this is someone who deliberately moved the flowers from that palace into his house.
After thinking about this, Hibiscus just stood up and looked at the others and said, "Have you seen anyone else come to the house?"
Hearing Hibiscus's words, no one said anything at first.
Mujin then continued, "Anyone who has seen it can come and tell me secretly, and I will give her a reward of ten taels of silver."
After saying this, Hibiscus just said, "Okay, you can go down now."
No one expected that Mu Jin would only come to such a conclusion after interrogating him.
However, ten taels of silver is indeed a huge amount of money for these low-level palace people. If anyone can get this huge sum of money now, it will be considered a small fortune.
Therefore, as soon as Mu Jin finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below, but no one knew where this huge sum of money would be spent.
But Hibiscus didn't seem to want to talk too much about the matter. She just waved to the others and then motioned for everyone to go back.
After everyone else retreated, Caixia couldn't help but said, "Hibiscus, will your arrangement be effective?"
Hibiscus said softly, "Of course it works. I don't believe that someone who snitched on it can still sleep well with a guilty conscience."
Hearing this, Caixia immediately understood. She chuckled and said, "You are quite damaged. Okay, I will find someone to arrange for you to keep an eye on me."
After listening to Caixia's words, Hibiscus smiled and said, "No, I can do it myself."
It is night, the stars are as bright as the day, and it is the time when the night is silent.
When Cuixi returned to Tongpu with the others, she felt uneasy in her heart.
Others were only conclusive when talking about what happened to Hibiscus. Everyone just didn't know who this Hibiscus had provoked and how it had incurred such revenge. And because the flower was related to His Highness the Ninth Prince's biological mother, there were a lot of theories. Some people even said that it might be the ghost of His Highness the Ninth Prince's biological mother.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone just expressed fear.
Hearing this, someone sneered and said, "If her soul is causing trouble, the people who deserve to be harmed are the ones who deserve to be harmed. Okay, everyone, go to bed quickly! We have to get up early tomorrow."
After the words fell, the palace man who was near the opening for turning off the lights only took a breath and then blew out the candle.
Instantly, the room fell into silence.
It didn't take long for everyone to fall asleep, but Cuixi couldn't sleep.
She felt uneasy.
After all, she did something wrong, she threw the flower in, and at that time she just wanted to scare Hibiscus.
But who would have thought that there would be such a big fuss.
Although she was very cautious when she went to the hibiscus house that day, it didn't mean that no one was prying. If someone saw what she did that day, what would she do?
Just thinking about this made Cuixi feel uneasy.
After tossing and turning, she couldn't help but finally got out of bed.
She wanted to confirm whether anyone had told her secrets.
Although she didn't know what she should do after seeing someone snitching, she still decided to go and take a look.
Thinking of this, she sat up quietly, but even though she was so cautious, the sister who was a light sleeper still just said, "Cui Xi, why don't you sleep?"
Hearing the man's question, Cuixi said guiltily, "I'm getting up."
Come and use the toilet. "
After hearing Cui Xi's words, the man just murmured quietly without expressing any doubt, and Cui Xi came out of the room smoothly.
At this time, there was silence outside the door. Except for the stars in the sky, the yard was completely dark, but there was still a faint candle burning in Hibiscus's house.
Seeing the candlelight, Cui Xi couldn't help but have a suspicion in her heart. She wondered if someone was already snitching in that room.
Thinking of this, she just quietly walked towards the house.
The closer you get to the house, the clearer the candlelight illuminates the interior of the house.
When she walked into the house, she felt that there seemed to be two figures standing opposite each other in the firelight.
Sure enough, someone was reporting her. Thinking of this, she immediately took a few steps towards the window.
However, she had just walked to the window, and before she had time to pierce the window paper to take a look inside, the bell at the door suddenly rang softly.
She quickly tried to cover up the ringing sound in a panic, but at this moment, someone opened the window.
She was so frightened that she turned and ran away.
However, under the dim candlelight, I don't know when the hibiscus stood behind me.
She looked at Hibiscus in panic and only took a few steps back. She even fell directly to the ground because her steps were unstable.
Looking at Cui Xi who fell to the ground, Mu Jin only stretched out her friendly hands.
Cui Xi obviously didn't want to use her strength to get up, she lowered her head with a cold expression.
But when she was thinking about what to say, Mu Jin took the initiative to speak. She smiled slightly and asked, "Are you also here to inform?"
Cuixi didn't expect that things could turn around, but why did she think Mu Jin would know that she was the murderer?
After all, I didn't do anything.
When she thought of this, Cuixi immediately nodded heavily, "Yes, I'm here to report. What I want to report is..."
However, before she could finish her words, Hibiscus suddenly hissed at her.
