Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Xia Dongchun and others gathered at Shen Meizhuang's residence to listen to the news she had received the day before yesterday.

Wei Lin was the apprentice of Imperial Physician Wen, so naturally such strange things could not be hidden from Shen Meizhuang's ears.

Several people were silent and pondered quietly. Although this matter seemed flawless on the surface, there was something fishy about it upon closer consideration.

"Wei Lin said that when Zhang Chang heard that he had been poisoned, his first reaction was to ask Wei Lin to keep it a secret, saying that he had believed the charlatan's words, but she was in the Old Summer Palace, where could she contact the charlatan? I will investigate. After that, in the past half month, none of the maids around Zhang Chang had left the palace, nor any of the concubines, and there was no record of them taking medicine at the Tai Hospital. This was strange. They had never left the garden, and they had not left the palace. I haven't taken any medicine from the Imperial Hospital, so where did I get the poison from?" Shen Meizhuang frowned.

Xia Dongchun remained silent and meditated silently. She also couldn't figure out the key. She and several people agreed that there must be a monster when things go wrong.

Concubine Jing also frowned and said, "In recent days, only Yu Xin from Concubine Chang's sister's palace has been out of the garden, but she went home to visit relatives. The rest is Ling'er from Concubine Yun's palace, and the reason is also to go home to visit relatives. , the warrant was approved by this palace. It was just a routine inspection when leaving the garden. The eunuch reported back that Ling'er brought several packets of medicine when he left the garden. He said that it was the anti-fetal medicine used by his master. He originally brought it from outside. There was no prescription, and the medicinal materials had gone bad, so I had to leave the palace to find the doctor who wrote the prescription and grab some more. I went there for two days, and I did bring a few packets of medicine when I came back."

"However, Jin Bin and Yun Bin have never had any friendship, and I have never heard of any contact between them. Sister Ji Bin, do you have any other news?" Xia Dongchun pondered, and turned around to see the old god Ji Bin drinking. Sipping tea, he seemed to have a plan in mind.

Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing Hui also turned to look at Concubine Ji. Concubine Ji put down the tea cup and smiled, "I really can't escape Sister Chang Concubine's wise eyes."

When several people heard what she said, they knew there was something going on.

"Sisters, don't forget, there are people from us beside Jinbin. Late at night the day before yesterday, Jinbin went out alone, and came back within half an hour. When she came back, it seemed that she had taken What is it? The next day, Concubine Jin ordered someone to boil the medicine. A few days ago, around the time of Concubine Yun’s canonization ceremony, Concubine Yun was indeed seen visiting Concubine Jin. The two of them withdrew and talked in the inner room. It will take a long time." Ji Bin said with a full smile.

"Zhang Changzai is attached to Jinbin, and Yunbin has contact with Jinbin for no reason. Does this mean that Zhang Changzai was poisoned, and he went out of the garden with Yunbin's maid and brought the medicine back. There is a connection. ?" Concubine Jing said thoughtfully.

"But why did Yun Bin do these things for Jin Bin? In other words, why did Jin Bin let Zhang Changzai drink the poisonous medicine? Wei Lin said that the medicinal properties of the medicine are so overbearing that if the amount is enough, it will cause invisible effects. It consumes the internal organs until he dies from exhaustion of energy and blood. Wei Lin has only seen records of this medicine in ancient books. Logically speaking, Jinbin and Zhang Changzai do not have such a big grudge, and such a method is not clever. , It’s not like Ling Rong’s style." Shen Meizhuang said doubtfully.

"What if Yun Bin had something in Jin's hands and was blackmailed by her, so she had to do these things for her? But Yun Bin didn't want to be blackmailed by her, so she started to poison the medicine. Who knew the medicine But it was Jin Bin who wanted to give Zhang Changzai a drink." Ji Bin also thought about it.

"Although there is some truth in your speculation, it's just that Concubine Yun has just been promoted, is pregnant with the fetus of a dragon, and has a high family background. She is very proud of herself. How can she have any leverage in Ling Rong's hands?" Shen Meizhuang frowned in confusion.

"What if this handle can ruin Yun Bin's reputation and lose everything she has now?" Ji Bin said suddenly and winked at Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang's heart was shocked, and he was a little frightened, but he said nothing.

Concubine Jing did not notice anything unusual about Shen Meizhuang, so she continued, "Could it be that..." Then she realized something was wrong and did not dare to continue. She smiled and joked, "Sister Ji, you have been in the palace for several years, and you are still the same." Such a dare to think and speak, these are just our speculations. Without evidence, we dare not talk nonsense." Ji Bin covered her mouth and chuckled, and also joked, "Sisters, don't take it seriously, my sister is talking nonsense. I I just think this matter is really interesting. Let's go back and think of a way to see if we can put one of our people in Yun Bin's place. After waiting for a while, we might be able to find some clues. There must be something wrong with Yun Bin. A secret to tell."

Xia Dongchun and Concubine Jing nodded in agreement, but Shen Meizhuang remained silent and thoughtful.

"By the way, there is one more thing," Concubine Ji suddenly said, "Didn't I say before that Concubine Jin is a little weird? Every time after going to bed, Bao Que will carry a package to a deserted place and secretly dispose of it. Recently, we The people finally discovered some clues. Inside the package was an incense burner. Inside the incense burner was the incense that the concubine would burn every time she went to bed. After waiting for a long time, Bao Que finally failed to deal with it cleanly and was caught by our people. When I got the chance, I went to the imperial doctor to have a look in private. It was the incense made by Jin Concubine. It can make men fall into lust, consume sperm and blood, and cause a lot of harm but no benefit. In recent years, the emperor's dragon body has declined so fast. This incense can make men unable to extricate themselves from lust. The incense has done a lot of good." Ji Bin said angrily.

The more Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang heard, the more frightened they became, and their expressions became more solemn.

Concubine Jing said angrily, "This concubine is so courageous. Damaging the dragon's body is a major crime against the nine tribes, but she is so reckless!"

Shen Meizhuang showed no anger and said calmly, "If this happens, no matter how favored An Lingrong is, he will not be able to stand up. Sister Ji, please arrange it privately and find some evidence on this matter. I will probably expose this matter to the emperor and the imperial concubine."

"Just don't alert the enemy." Xia Dongchun said suddenly.

"Sisters, don't worry, I've already started collecting evidence." Ji Bin said.

After coming out of Concubine Hui's place, Xia Dongchun had a vague premonition that this incident would cause a bloody storm in the harem.

Feeling depressed, I thought about wandering around at will. The spring scenery in the garden was already in full bloom. It was the time when it was neither cold nor hot. There were only a few good months in a year.

It was also a busy time for the servants in the garden. Xia Dongchun didn't want to disturb their work, so they deliberately avoided people and took some secluded paths.

After walking to a rockery, Xia Dongchun was tired from walking, so he found a stone to sit down and rest. Suddenly he heard someone talking behind the rockery, and he hurriedly raised his index finger to signal that Ginkgo and Mo Shuang were silent.

"Haitang, tell me, is there something I didn't do well? Why did Concubine Jin want to harm me?" It was Zhang Changzai's voice, with sadness in his words.

"My lord, don't be sad. You've been through a lot these past few days. You've just drank two doses of medicine to induce vomiting. Your body is weak. Let's go back and rest." The palace maid consoled her.
