It was not until Yao Wanyi left the palace that the queen's expression became serious.
The people on the left and right were cleared away, leaving only Liang Jing.
"Tell me, what happened today?" the queen asked, obviously wanting to know more.
"My Majesty, I also saw and heard today that the prince's rabbit, in the past, we just thought it was of unknown origin and was caught by the prince when it came from nowhere.
In fact, she came out of the palace of the Concubine Xian. Isn't her intention already obvious? Liang Jing said, "Both you and the prince are very close to Concubine Xian and don't put up much defense."
But Concubine Xian took advantage of this and acted quietly and secretly. "
"Then how did you find out?" the queen asked Liang Jing.
Of course it was impossible for Liang Jing to tell Xue Heng's photo: "It was also a coincidence. I overheard someone in the palace saying that Concubine Xian had raised rabbits in the palace, and then I went to check carefully."
"If you really want others to not know this, you have to do it yourself." The queen nodded after hearing this, "Originally, such trivial matters are the easiest to hide from others."
"In addition to this rabbit, there are two other things related to Concubine Xian." Liang Jing said, "After hearing this, the empress will know how deep Concubine Xian is hiding."
"If she really intended to give this rabbit to the prince, then she did more than just do this." The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, "Just say it."
"It starts with the heavy rain a few days ago. It rained for three consecutive days before it cleared up." Liang Jing said, "I wonder if your Majesty still remembers it?"
"Of course I remember, it just happened not long ago." The queen said.
"After the rain this time, a small warehouse in the Queen's Prison leaked, and it was not serious. It was just that the northwest corner was washed away by the rain and the corners were soaked, but the things stored were not wet at all.
Logically speaking, this is not a big deal, just a simple repair. However, the people who were in charge complained that all the warehouses had been renovated in February, so why did they leak so quickly?
This is really the negligence of the palace man who repaired the house. Fortunately, it is not serious, otherwise someone would have lost his head.
The people in the imperial prison reported the matter and planned to take time to repair the corners of the house and repair the rain-soaked walls.
But at this moment, someone noticed something was wrong..."
Next, Liang Jing told the queen about the white hair moss in detail. Of course, he still hid Xue Heng's photo, but said that an experienced palace official discovered the clues. After verification, it turned out that someone deliberately mixed the white hair moss with the The soil with moss seeds was hidden in the corner of the house. The purpose was to wait until the rainy season and destroy everything in the warehouse without anyone noticing.
And if it is not handled properly, deeper hidden dangers will be buried, causing white moss to gradually fill the palace. If this conspiracy succeeds, countless treasures will be destroyed, and all wooden palaces will be destroyed.
"This thing is really vicious," the Queen couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, "Can we deal with it now?"
"Don't worry, Madam, it has been completely removed. After all, the thing hasn't started growing yet." Liang Jing said, "This matter was finally reported to me, but I had no clue at the time and was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I chose to keep it secret. Investigate privately.
Finally, it was found that among the palace people who repaired the house, one named Mao Si participated in the repair of the warehouse. The strange thing is that the day before I was going to interrogate him, he swallowed gold and died.
As a result, the suspicion on him became even heavier. However, I have to say that the people behind him were very neat and tidy in their work. When they went to check Mao Si, they couldn't find any useful clues for a while.
But the less he can be found, the more it shows that this person has extraordinary methods and is quite powerful in the palace.
This reminds me of another incident. During the severe drought last year, Liu Hu, the eunuch in charge of Fengyu Tower, also hanged himself from a beam for no apparent reason.
I didn't know the reason at first, but later I discovered that the Feng Yujian he was guarding had been destroyed. "
"What?!" This time the queen was completely shocked, "Feng Yujian, that's not Qingque..."
"Yes, although we didn't know who did it at the beginning, we were convinced that the person behind it must be with Qingque.
After Liu Hu's accident, I went to his room several times to check, but I didn't find any clues at first.
Later, when he opened his bed board, he discovered that there were many beans used to exorcise ghosts embedded in the seams of the bed. There were also traces of talismans carved on the back of the bed board.
Apparently for a period of time, Liu Hu was extremely afraid of ghosts and thought of many ways to ward off ghosts and evil spirits.
However, the blessing paper behind the bed board has been removed, and the talisman drawn with cinnabar has also been wiped. Apparently before Liu Hu died, he was no longer afraid of ghosts.
Since he was no longer afraid of ghosts, why did he commit suicide? That could only mean that it was people who frightened him.
This time Mao Si's situation was almost exactly the same as Liu Hu's, and people who worked with him also said that he was indeed suspicious for a while during the winter. I was asking for blessings and remedies, but then I suddenly seemed to be fine.
Not only did he become talkative and laughing, he was also very generous with his money, and often invited people to drink and eat. As for why he suddenly committed suicide, no one who knew him could tell. "
"The affairs of these two people are indeed very similar," the queen agreed with Liang Jing's judgment, "but how do you think that the concubine Xian also did these two things?"
"Mao Si had a fellow countryman who once asked Mao Si to borrow some money. Mao Si was very generous and said he didn't need to pay it back.
The fellow countrymen couldn't help but ask him how he got rich. Of course Mao Si refused to tell, but his fellow countryman paid attention.
One day in February, he saw Mao Si and a maid from the Jiaolan Palace passing things privately from a distance, and the maid gave Mao Si a package of things.
He was curious about what was inside, so he forced Mao Si to treat him to a drink.
After getting Mao Si drunk, he took out the bag and looked at it, only to find that it was just a bag of dirt.
At that time, he even said something bad, rewrapped the thing and stuffed it back into Mao Si's arms, regretting that he had wasted his time drinking.
Now it seems that the bag of soil is soil mixed with white moss seeds.
So I quietly checked on the palace maid. She was from Weizhou. Her ancestors lived in the mountains. Later, she was hit by white moss and found it difficult to live in, so she moved out of the mountains.
How can someone who is not familiar with such a rare thing use it?
The younger one was afraid of disturbing the situation, so he didn't arrest the palace maid, and wanted to wait for the empress's instructions. "
"Concubine Xian is a cautious person. If she doesn't want people to know! It's hard to leave any clues." The queen said, "If she is really colluding with Qingque, then I will not tolerate her."
