Aunt Xu nodded to express her understanding, and then turned around and walked towards Zhao Yuening and Lian'er: "Two masters, Mrs. Zhao, I'm afraid this rat problem won't be eradicated for a while. I have prepared another sleeping quarters for you, why don't you go first? Have some tea to calm your nerves?"

"Just follow what you say! It's really ridiculous that something like this would happen in the harem!" She frowned tightly, turned to Liu Yu'er and said impatiently, "Come on, let's go and relax first!"

Liu Yuer obviously also noticed Shen Yingxia. I saw her smiling meaningfully at Shen Yingxia.

Although there were still many palace people coming and going in panic between the two of them, it seemed that they could only see each other.

At this moment, Shen Yingxia was convinced: Liu Yuer must have disposed of the medicine.

She would not be stupid enough to stop Liu Yu'er and then check the small package on her waist. Keeping things to yourself is something only a fool would do.

Lian'er asked reluctantly: "Have you not found it yet?"

"We found a lot of rats. Just go and rest in peace, little master. We will handle it here."

"It's impossible..." She squeezed the handkerchief tightly and relaxed it, then squeezed it tightly again, and finally left with one step and three turns.

Shen Yingxia approached Aunt Xu and said in a low voice: "Is there a pond or a river nearby?"

"Why did the young lady suddenly ask this? Could it be..." Aunt Xu suddenly woke up with a solemn expression, "Next door is Tingzhu Garden, with a small river running through it. When the craftsmen built it, they connected it with the moat. one place."

"That's it...if it's water, I'm afraid there won't be anything left now. However, I'd still like to trouble my aunt to take me to check it out. I can report back to the queen after I'm done."

"Here." Aunt Xu exchanged a few words with Dachangqiu, then took the calming basin before turning around to lead the way to Shen Yingxia.

Going around the corner, emerald green bamboos protruded from the wall. Shen Yingxia discovered that this was the place where he and Jiang Niannian listened to Zhao Yuening and Liu Yuer's corner last time. Different from last time, there is still some white snow on the bamboo leaves that has not yet melted.

No wonder the two of them disposed of the medicine so quickly. They are very familiar with this place!

After passing through the corridor door, there is a truly unique place inside. A small bridge spans the small river that divides the courtyard into two.

Thin ice has formed on the surface of the small river, and the river water under the ice flows slowly according to the height of the natural terrain. Shen Yingxia knelt down to take a closer look.

But Aunt Xu quickly stopped her: "Young lady, be careful, it's dangerous!"

Shen Yingxia responded:

"The incense is made just so that the person can inhale it unknowingly. During daily storage, it must still be in the form of medicinal powder. If it is not so careful when throwing it, it will definitely be sprinkled on ice, but it will be preserved."

"But this is not Empress Zhao's palace. Even if she is found, he cannot be convicted."

Shen Yingxia smiled slyly: "But people can be guilty! Plus, that person has a suspicious temper!"

Aunt Xu didn't seem to understand, so she just accompanied her to search. After a while, I heard Aunt Xu exclaim: "Here it is! Young Master!"

Shen Yingxia took a closer look and found a small hole on the edge close to the river bank. There was some brown powder sprinkled on the broken ice above.

At first glance, it looks like a lot of food! If it were later and the ice melted, maybe these would be washed away.

Is that why they just left with such peace of mind to rest?
