The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Chapter 202 Leaving Part of the Fruit
Pushing open the half-hidden door, Song Jinyue slowed down and walked into the house.

As soon as she looked up, she saw the prince sitting in front of the desk like yesterday, but this time, Cousin Zhi stood quietly behind her.

The prince frowned.Holding the brush tightly in his hand, with a serious expression, he pursed his lips tightly, as if the brush in his hand weighed a thousand catties.

There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but he still didn't let go of the brush in his hand.

Instead, he exhausted all his strength, held the brush tremblingly, and tried his best to write on the rice paper.

The air in the room seemed to condense.

Zhang Dingzhi held his breath and watched closely.

The prince concentrated on the rice paper.

Neither of them noticed Song Jinyue walking towards them.

Because she didn't want to scare the two of them, Song Jinyue turned around, went to sit aside, and she just waited quietly.

"Cousin, do you want to say that someone poisoned you?"

Zhang Dingzhi exclaimed, and Song Jinyue suddenly looked up.

The prince had put down the brush in his hand, and turned his head to look at Zhang Dingzhi, wanting to respond to her.

But after a long while, he only moved his eyes, which was regarded as a response.

His body is still stiff now, and now he has to rely on others to get down to the ground, and he has tried his best to be able to lift the brush.

Song Jinyue got up and walked forward.

Only then did Zhang Dingzhi realize that there were other people in the house, and felt displeased, so he couldn't help frowning, but when he looked up and saw it was his cousin, he immediately stopped his vigilance.

Get up and walk towards Song Jinyue.

"Yue'er, come and have a look, my cousin has some characters that I don't know."

Zhang Dingzhi pulled Song Jinyue and walked towards the desk.

When the prince saw her coming, his eyes were shining and the corners of his lips were raised.

Song Jinyue nodded, and the two greeted each other.

Then she followed Cousin Zhi and walked over.

On the rice paper unfolded on the table, there were scattered and incomprehensible handwriting.

The word "poison" seems to be drawn out as an outline.

Cousin Fangcaizhi guessed it, from the prince's expression, I know she guessed it right.

Song Jinyue stretched out her hand and dragged her chin, staring closely at the rice paper, carefully drawing the messy gestures on it, trying her best to piece it together in her mind.

After watching for a quarter of an hour, Song Jinyue thought about it again.

Then he straightened up, looked at the prince, and asked: "Your Highness, did you say that there are spies around you?"

The prince's eyes lit up.

Song Jinyue continued: "The spy is related to a nobleman in the palace?"

This time, a bit of joy was clearly visible in the prince's eyes.

"A nobleman with a higher status than the empress?"

The prince's head moved slightly.

What Zhang Dingzhi heard was that her mind froze. She looked at her cousin in shock and wanted to ask, but she suppressed her doubts and waited quietly.

Song Jinyue paused, then looked at Prince He Yuanyi.

There was a bit of temptation in his eyes.

After a while, she quietly asked: "The Queen Mother?"

The prince couldn't hide the joy in his eyes at all, and nodded with all his might.

Song Jinyue looked at Cousin Zhi, and the eyes of the two were intertwined.

There was a bit of shock in each other's eyes.

It turned out to be the queen mother.

Is the crown prince her grandson, or the one from the middle palace?

With the empress dowager like this, isn't she afraid of turmoil in the court?
Isn't she afraid that things will be revealed and that it will harm herself?
Song Jinyue didn't have time to think about this, she looked at the prince, lowered her eyes, and thought about it again.

The person who can poison and assassinate the prince must be someone who the prince usually trusts most, and this person has to be by the prince's side every day.

Except for the head servant, there is probably no one else.

She remembered that His Royal Highness's personal manager was a servant named You, who was five years older than the prince and had grown up with the prince since childhood.

This Chief Manager You usually speaks very few words, but he is extremely trusted by the Crown Prince. He has managed the East Palace without any mistakes, and the Empress is quite relieved of him.

"Is Manager You poisoning?"

Song Jinyue asked suspiciously.

There was a flash of joy in the prince's eyes, and then a flash of disappointment, which turned into a flash of anger.

Song Jinyue looked at Cousin Zhi and said, "Cousin Zhi, I'll go to the palace."

Zhang Dingzhi wanted to go into the palace with his cousin.

But turning her head to see the lonely and pitiful appearance of the prince, she couldn't bear it, so she held her cousin's hand and told her, "Yue'er, be careful in everything and take care of yourself."

"Well, don't worry, Cousin Zhi."

Song Jinyue hurried out of the Zhang mansion, took Qiu Yun into the carriage of the Duke's mansion, and went straight to the palace.

She wears a badge given to her by the queen's aunt.

At the gate of the palace, Qiu Yun took the token and handed it to the guard for inspection.

Not long after, the master and servant entered the palace.

The vermilion palace wall was wet by the morning mist, and the traces of the rain curtain hanging from above seemed to be rubbed on the vermilion palace wall.

There was a chill on the bluestone ground.

Even the wind blowing head-on on the palace road was chilling to the bone.

Song Jinyue couldn't help tightening the neckline of her silver-gray fox-fur cloak, and tightening the hand stove in her hand again.

Her steps quickened, but she didn't slow down because of the cold.

Qiu Yun quickened her pace and followed her young lady closely.

From time to time, you have to observe the situation around you.

Song Jinyue just arrived outside the gate of Zhaohua Palace, and saw Xiangxiu's sister walking from the other side of the palace road.

When Xiangxiu saw her, she was slightly stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she stepped forward quickly.

When they got close, Xiangxiu saluted, and then said: "Princess Ronghua, Madam took Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang to the Empress Dowager's place to pay her respects, and she is not in the palace right now."

Song Jinyue was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Then why is sister Xiangxiu back?"

"Your Majesty ordered the maid to come back and take samples." Xiangxiu welcomed Song Jinyue into the hall while talking.

It turned out that today the queen mother learned that her grandmother and aunt had entered the palace, so she specially ordered someone to invite her grandmother and aunt to talk.

The queen's aunt was worried, so she followed her to the queen mother's bedroom.

During the chat, the Empress Dowager mentioned that the sheepskin puff pastry offered by Fanbang in the palace was extremely delicious, and the Empress specially ordered Xiangxiu to fetch it.

This goatskin crisp fruit was just offered, and nobles from all over the place got the same share, but it is gone in the Empress Dowager's palace, probably because my aunt is pregnant, so I can't smell the fishy smell of goat's milk , so the crisp fruit has never been moved.

Song Jinyue sat in the Zhaohua Hall, while Xiangxiu went to the sheepskin crispy fruit.

When he found it, Xiangxiu bid farewell to her with a black lacquer food box in his hand.

"Sister Xiangxiu, wait a minute."

Song Jinyue got up, stepped forward and pulled Xiangxiu to sit down, took the black lacquer food box from her hand, looked at Xiangxiu again, and motioned for her to dismiss the maid in the palace first.

Xiangxiu understood, got up and sent the maid from Zhaohua Palace out.

Song Jinyue raised her hand to open the food box.

I saw that the white jade plates inside were piled up like a hill, full of crispy sheepskin fruits.

Song Jinyue took a plate from the table, and took out some sheepskin crisps from the food box.

When she stopped, there were no more than eight sheepskin crisps in the white jade plate in the food box. Song Jinyue nodded with great satisfaction, and then closed the food box again.

She picked up the food box and handed it to Xiangxiu, and said: "Tell my aunt, I have eaten some of these sheepskin crisps, and now there are only these left."
