It's night, go to Chunyuan.

[If Song Qingqing is right, it proves that Shen Ruyu's poison was given to the emperor, but why did she poison the emperor? She tried so hard to climb onto the dragon's bed, wasn't it...]

Lin Baoer shuddered and slapped his head.

She is so stupid! Why else? ! Isn't it just to avenge the third prince? !

In the original plot, Shen Ruyu was loyal to the third prince Song Chu. Even if she married into the Lin Mansion, it would not prevent her from informing Shen Qiantang and Song Chu. So in this case again, even if the third prince was demoted by the emperor because of the Lin Mansion. For the sake of common people, she became a useless person with all her hands and feet broken, but she did not give up on him at all, but chose to avenge him!

As for why the emperor was poisoned...

According to Lin Baoer's experience of watching palace fighting dramas, it was either to manipulate the emperor, take power into his own hands, and then attack the Lin family and the prince; or... to put the blame on them!

No matter which one it is, it's bad news for them!

[This woman is so vicious. If she hadn't been so smart about love, she would have been a winner in life. Why would she fight here without any distinction and never see the light of day? 】

Lin Baoer sighed, feeling regretful and heartbroken.

[But everything is just speculation. We have to wait and see the news of Song Qingqing’s return. 】

In order to prevent misunderstandings, before leaving the palace, Lin Baoer specifically asked Song Qingqing to help find out whether Concubine Li and the emperor were the only ones in the palace who had this smell.

If it is, it's a sure thing. If it's not, it still needs to be investigated.

She was brainstorming here, and Lin Qiming and Shen Xuelan, who were listening to her thoughts, felt shivers down their spines.

The two looked at each other, both looking worried.

But since Lin Baoer was still beside them, they couldn't say anything. They could only keep it in their hearts for the time being and wait to talk tomorrow.

The next morning, when Lin Qiming went to court, he paid special attention to the emperor on the dragon throne. But after turning over and over, he could not see any signs of poisoning on his face. Instead, he was in extremely good spirits and his face was glowing red.

Seeing this, he could only give up.

After coming back, he called Lin Zhiyu directly to the study room, and then told everything he heard from Lin Baoer last night.

"Dad, did you hear that right?" Lin Zhiyu was shocked.

"Your mother heard it too." Lin Qiming's brows could kill a fly.

The fact that they could hear Lin Baoer's heartbeat was no longer a secret among the few, but everyone tacitly never mentioned it. This was the first time they said it so frankly.

Although they didn't know why Lin Baoer knew that Shen Ruyu had poisoned the emperor, it didn't stop them from believing everything Lin Baoer said, so this was why Lin Qiming paid so much attention to it.

Because if it is true, it proves that the emperor's life is in Shen Ruyu's hands, and they don't know what changes will happen in the future.

Since you don't know, it proves that you are unprepared.

At this moment, the things that had happened before were connected together, why the people under the prince betrayed him, why the emperor was suddenly afraid of the prince, and why the government and the public were now in turmoil. Maybe they all have the handiwork of that woman.

"I heard from Bao'er that she asked the princess to investigate the matter. After that, you can go find the princess to make excuses." Lin Qiming said.

They didn't want to go to such trouble, but Lin Baoer had some scruples and would never take the initiative to tell them about this matter in a short time for fear of exposing themselves, so just in case, they also set out to investigate first.

After the agreement was made, on the evening of the third day, Lin Zhiyu found an excuse to invite Song Qingqing out.

The third floor of Shuiqing Building.

Song Qingqing looked at Lin Zhiyu in surprise, puzzled, "Why did Master Lin come to ask about this matter? What happened?"

Naturally, Lin Zhiyu would not tell her about this matter, so he could only smile and say: "Actually, I asked Bao'er to do that thing that Bao'er asked you to do. Not long ago, a group of spice merchants came to the capital. The inspection found that several of their spices contained trace amounts of toxins. As usual, they were fine and could neutralize them. However, if those flavors with a cold nature were added to them, toxins would be produced and infiltrated into the internal organs, causing the body to suffer from toxins. Discomfort."

"What?!" Song Qingqing was surprised, "Why have I never heard of this matter? Has it been resolved?"

Lin Zhiyu nodded, "When I found out, I asked Mr. Wang to lead people to seize all the spices. Fortunately, because those merchants were busy paying taxes at that time, we recovered all the unsold ones. .”

"Because I was afraid that this incident would disturb the people and disrupt the spice market, I hid it."

"So that's it." Song Qingqing sighed.

Lin Zhiyu took a sip of tea and continued: "Perhaps it was because Bao'er was also traveling with her. She had smelled that smell before and was so keen."

"She also told me not long ago that on the day she was begging for luck, she smelled that smell unintentionally, but she couldn't find the reason, so she gave up. Later, at the private banquet hosted by the Queen two days ago ”

Lin Zhiyu pondered, "I remember that the businessman said at the time that a batch of goods was indeed sold to the palace first. Afterwards, we traced it and found that the Spice Department had already mixed that batch of spices into ordinary spices and distributed them to everyone. The concubines are there, but because there are not enough of them, only some of them are available.”

"Because the toxins can be neutralized by just adding 霐鲐 scent, which is generally a necessary ingredient in spices. We were afraid of disturbing the concubines, so we did not investigate further and just let Recover all the spices distributed that day and destroy them."

"But there is no absolute in everything." Lin Zhiyu sighed, "Since Bao'er has smelled it, there may be some remnants left in the palace, so I asked her to ask Princess Princess for your help to investigate. If it wasn't natural, it would be the best. good."

"But if so..."

Hearing this, Song Qingqing's face became serious. When she thought that the emperor might be poisoned by it, her heart was raised and she asked nervously: "Is that poison fatal?"

Lin Zhiyu shook his head, "It's not fatal. It's just that people with hidden diseases may induce the cause of the disease, causing chest tightness and shortness of breath. If it goes on for a long time, it will definitely not work."

"When Bao'er asked me before, I sent someone to check. The smell of Concubine Li is very unique, so it is very easy to check." Song Qingqing frowned and said, "I heard it was the smell of the tranquilizing incense in her palace. The folk remedy she got from nowhere is quite effective for the emperor's uncle's headache, and therefore, the emperor's uncle has always loved going to her place, visiting her almost every night."

He also neglected the queen because of this, leaving the queen unaware.
