It's a pity that she was locked inside and couldn't get out at all. She could only glare at Jiang Xinyue through the wooden fence: "Even if you are the queen, you must have evidence in everything. If you don't have any evidence, you just lock me up. You are the boss." Is Emperor Yan’s harem your one-spoken palace?”
Jiang Xinyue looked at her like a fool: "Someone exposed you for poisoning the good concubine, and a maid saw your maid Hui Yuan in contact with Huang Yanyu. What does this have to do with me? I just act according to the rules and want to give good treatment to the good concubine. My concubine is fair, why do you blame me for everything?"
The maid who saw Hui Yuan and Huang Yanyu passing by was not Jiang Xinyue, but was served by Liang Fei in the palace.
Huang Yanyu is a new beauty who entered the palace. She was asked by the good concubine to be a palace maid. If she had been Jiang Xinyue's person, she would have been presented to the emperor long ago. What kind of palace maid should she be?
Therefore, these people's exposure of her has nothing to do with Jiang Xinyue.
"The Queen, we found something from the side hall of Yanqing Palace."
The guards of the Xuanjing Division presented the found paper packets, and Jiang Xinyue was not in a hurry to pick them up. Instead, she said to the head of the Xuanjing Division: "In order to prevent us, like concubines, from pouring all kinds of dirty water on me, Don't let me take this thing out of my hands. Lin Zhangjing serves the emperor, so let Lin Zhangjing come and see if I have wronged you?"
"Gudu!"
Magpie clearly heard the sound of Lin Zhangjing swallowing, and then the guard handed him an oil paper bag.
Lin Zhangjing opened the paper package, dipped a little powder into his finger, smelled it under his nose, and then looked at Ru Fei in shock.
How could this idiot put the key evidence in the house for others to check?
Or does she think that the people in the Xuanjing Department are fools and they can't find her at all?
Rufei frowned and didn't understand why Lin Zhangjing looked at her like that.
"Come here, tell the emperor that the person who poisoned the good concubine has been found. How should the emperor deal with it?"
After all, Rufei is the emperor's concubine, and Xuanjingsi really has no right to deal with it privately.
But in fact, it is the Queen who has the final say on what to do when the Queen is here.
Lin Zhangjing was very smart. In order to prevent Ru Fei from criticizing others, he asked the people below to ask the emperor for instructions.
Shun'an Palace——
The second princess's heart was beating wildly, and she held Concubine Shu's hand: "We... we won't be discovered like this, right?"
Concubine Shu's expression was serious: "Don't worry, we are doing it so secretly, nothing will happen."
"I'm afraid that the people from the Xuanjing Department won't be able to find her, so there are several packages placed under Rufei's bed and in the closet."
Concubine Shu nodded: "Well done. That bitch like Concubine dared to harm His Highness the Crown Prince. She thought she did it without anyone noticing and just put all the blame on Zhang Wanrong! Humph! This time when she enters the Xuanjing Division, the Queen will make her peel off her skin."
The second princess asked curiously: "But even the father didn't find out that the person who caused the prince's brother's allergy was Concubine Ru. How did the queen mother know?"
"We didn't know it at the beginning..."
However, the Queen Mother later said that the walnut oil for His Highness the Prince was brought to the palace from the Jiang family’s shop.
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned one year old, the Queen Mother has ordered the imperial dining room and small kitchen to prepare complementary foods for him. However, there is no walnut oil in the palace. The ones His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use are those that the Queen Mother personally writes to the Jiang family to make sure they can be trusted. The Jiang family went to Jiangcheng, which is rich in walnuts, selected the best quality walnuts, pressed them into walnut oil, and then transported them back from Jiangcheng.
Due to seasonal reasons, the Jiang family was worried about not having enough, so they transported two large carriages of walnut oil back to Beijing.
From picking to shelling, from pressing to canning to transportation, the Jiang family escorted the entire process, leaving no chance for others to interfere.
With so much walnut oil, Zhang Wanrong and that eunuch secretly replaced it with peanut oil. When will it be replaced?
Another thing is that the expenditure and input of the Household Affairs Office are all recorded, and the warehouse is an important area of the Household Affairs Office and cannot be entered without a warrant from the eunuch in charge.
They had to transport peanut oil from outside to replace it. In a short time...or rather...it was impossible for one person to replace that much oil quietly.
Therefore, the Empress said that Zhang Wanrong was not the only one who harmed the prince, but there was also an invisible big hand pushing everything behind his back.
The emperor also said that this matter should not be made public. It would be better to let the people behind it think that she was safe and relax her vigilance before starting a secret investigation.
Originally, I wanted to start with the few eunuchs who helped Zhang Wanrong succeed, but who knew that those eunuchs were actually dead soldiers, and they all bit their tongues and committed suicide before they were sent to the Xuanjing Division.
This further proves that Zhang Wanrong is just a pawn being used.
The emperor asked the secret investigation not to use people from the Xuanjing Division. Instead, he told his most trusted captains of guards among the imperial guards responsible for night patrols, and asked them to arrange for their confidants to search the houses of those eunuchs.
Finally, one of the eunuchs found the national flower of Goguryeo, the Promise Flower, on a piece of Chinese clothing that he had not finished burning.
Moreover, below the Wuji flower, there is a name embroidered in Goguryeo characters.
After getting someone to translate it, I realized that the original words were Shen Hanping.
Jiang Xinyue guessed that it should be the real name of the eunuch who committed suicide.
The surname Shen was rare in the Great Yan Dynasty, but very common in Goguryeo, so they suspected that the real person behind the prince's allergies was Concubine Ru.
The eldest princess was sitting in front of the good concubine's bedside, listening to their conversation. She couldn't believe that so many things had happened to her less than half a month after she got married.
"Cough cough cough..."
Liang Fei, who was half leaning on the bed, coughed several times with difficulty, feeling pain in her chest.
She took several breaths of cold air: "This Huang Yanyu, hiss... hurts me to death... her mother's legs..."
Concubine Liang had woken up a few days ago. At that time, Jiang Xinyue sought Concubine Liang's permission and used this opportunity to catch all Concubines Ru.
The eldest princess quickly stood up and brought a cup of hot tea to Concubine Liang: "Concubine, calm down. The Queen has already gone to the Xuanjing Department. She will definitely give you justice."
Liang Fei couldn't even open her eyes. Her throat hurt as if she had been cut with a knife. She lowered her head and took a sip of hot water. The eldest princess quickly wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
Ye Guiren also helped to take the tea from the eldest princess and put it on the table: "The Queen is still in the Xuanjing Division, and the people from the Xuanjing Division also searched the poison out of Rufei's palace. Rufei can't run away, Huang Even Yanyu can’t escape.”
It's just that Ru Fei's crime was not to murder the emperor's heir, but to poison the concubines, which is a bit of a pity.
Although the life of a good concubine is valuable, relatively speaking, His Royal Highness is more valuable.
If Concubine Ru is found guilty of murdering His Highness the Crown Prince, the emperor will definitely throw Concubine Ru's body back to Goguryeo.
