Chapter 62 This was planted by the little princess herself!
The little girl's eyes suddenly moved, and she ran out holding a pot of flowers beside her, and ran to the main hall where Concubine Chen was.

"Mom, I'm here! Are you there?" The little girl's voice arrived before she did.

Concubine Chen put down the account book in her hand, stretched out her arms, and sure enough, a meat ball rolled into her arms.

"It's snowing and it's cold, why did you come out wearing only a single layer of clothing?"

Xihe's hands were icy cold, so Concubine Chen immediately took a hand warmer from the side and put it in her little daughter's hands.

"I was in a hurry and forgot about it. Mom, please don't blame me, okay?"

Concubine Chen looked at her little daughter tenderly, but she didn't agree. "If you do that again, I will beat you! I will beat you in front of your brothers and sisters."

The little girl is not afraid of being beaten, but she is afraid of being beaten in front of others. To put it bluntly, she is afraid of being embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, remember, I will never make the same mistake again next time!" Xihe promised repeatedly.

Concubine Chen looked at the pot of flowers in Xihe's arms. She vaguely remembered that it was the pot of flowers in the bedroom, and asked curiously, "What are you bringing the flowers for?"

The little girl suddenly remembered why she came here, "Mother, Xihe had a terrible dream!"

Xihe only said that she dreamed that someone sent a sick palace maid into the palace, but the maid's disease infected many people. Suddenly, an old man with a white beard told her that this pot of flowers could help them prevent the disease and save everyone.

After hearing this, Concubine Chen was speechless for a long time.

A group of palace maids did enter the palace recently, but she had never mentioned this to her youngest daughter.

This dream was most likely true. Perhaps it was God using the little daughter's hand to warn her.

Concubine Chen stroked the branches and leaves, then turned to Muhua, who had always been tending to the flowers and plants, and asked, "How many flowers are there?"

Mu Hua calculated in his heart and said, "There are almost 300 pots, all of which are seeds sown by the little princess."

Concubine Chen paused, then gave the order, "Send someone to deliver it to each palace and courtyard, and tell them that I said that there will inevitably be epidemics after winter, and every palace, whether maids or eunuchs, must smell this thing. In addition, I must emphasize that this was planted by the little princess herself."

Mu Hua took the order and told people to move the flowers and plants.

Concubine Chen said, "Mu Yuan, go check the new palace maids. If there are any problems, arrest them immediately. I will allow you to execute them first and report later. Also, ask the Imperial Hospital to get some mugwort and burn it in each palace."

Mu Yuan turned around and was about to do it, but Xihe grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong, princess?"

Xihe climbed up, took down the pot of flowers and handed it to Mu Yuan, "Sister Mu Yuan, take this with you and you won't get sick!"

Mu Yuan felt warm in his heart and took the flowers solemnly, "I understand. Thank you, Princess."

As expected, when the palaces heard that the little princess had planted the flowers, they all worshipped the potted plants as gods and went to smell them day and night. After all, the little princess had saved the poisoned concubine with a pot of flowers.

Everyone cherishes their lives.

Mu Yuan found out a lot of things from the new palace servants, and finally locked on a palace maid based on the little princess's statement.

"My lady, this is the file record of that woman. I checked it and found nothing wrong."

The new palace maids are still learning the rules in the Imperial Household Department and have not been sent to serve in other palaces.

Concubine Chen flipped through two pages and said in a cold voice, "The biggest problem is that there is no problem." Mu Yuan bowed his head and said "Yes", and then said, "Your Majesty is right. This woman is very careful, as if she has been specially trained. I followed her several times before I found out that she would sneak out in the middle of the night when no one was around."

Concubine Chen closed the book. The smell of wormwood wafting from the courtyard hurt her eyes. "Where did she go?"

Mu Yuan paused for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty may not have expected that there are people from their faction in the Fuhua Palace!"

Concubine Chen suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes full of shock, "Their goal is..."

"It was the little princess." Mu Yuan himself had never thought that the impregnable Fuhua Palace would be infiltrated. "The one who contacted her was a fourth-rank maid who swept the floor. That maid secretly took the little princess's silk handkerchief out. Damn it, I don't know when that person was bribed and left. I didn't even notice it and almost harmed the little princess!"

Concubine Chen slammed the cup down and stood up suddenly, her words full of anxiety, "What about those silk handkerchiefs that were infected with the disease? Did Xihe not touch them?"

Mu Yuan said quickly: "Don't worry, Madam, I have seen that the silk handkerchief has definitely not been sent back to Fuhua Palace. It has been completely destroyed."

Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly, "That's good, that's good."

Then he asked, "Have you checked outside the palace? Who sent it in?"

Mu Yuan looked back, closed the palace door, and then leaned in and said, "Madam, do you still remember the old nanny next to the one in the cold palace?"

Concubine Chen nodded, "I remember, she framed Xihe and was thrown into the lion and tiger park by His Majesty."

"But Your Majesty, that man was the one who sent the sick maid into the palace." Mu Yuan said.

"Ah?" Concubine Chen held the handkerchief and looked at Mu Yuan in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

In the past, all those who were thrown into the lion and tiger park by Emperor Jingyuan were completely destroyed, without exception.

Mu Yuan nodded, "Beichuan went to investigate personally, and he told me personally."

Like Beichuan, Muyuan and Muhua, they were all prepared for Concubine Chen by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion since childhood.

Mu Yuan and Mu Hua were in charge of the internal affairs, while Beichuan was in charge of the affairs outside the palace.

"Mu Yuan, do you think the person in the cold palace knows about this?" asked Concubine Chen quietly.

"This slave dare not say anything."

Concubine Chen sneered, "I underestimated her. She was able to get someone out of your majesty's lion and tiger garden and even send him out of the palace."

"But... Madam, we don't have any evidence to prove that the woman has any relationship with the one in the cold palace?" Mu Yuan said, "If the woman bites to death, then it can only implicate the old maid, and at most, it can only catch the people in the palace who facilitated them."

Concubine Chen tapped the table slowly, thinking, "I guess she must be very anxious in the cold palace right now. If the news of Xihe's illness spreads, will she be desperate and do something desperate?"

Mu Yuan asked tentatively: "Madam, are you saying..."

Concubine Chen glanced at Mu Yuan calmly and said, "Put her in solitary custody. You can decide how to interrogate her. Just keep her breathing and able to speak. Then... have the maid go to the cold palace and tell her that "the little princess is sick, but I sent someone to suppress it." You don't need to be too clear. It's best to be vague."

Mu Yuan nodded, "I understand, I will do it right away."

Xihe had no idea of ​​Concubine Chen's plan, but the mother and daughter had the same goals.

Sure enough, within a few days, there was a commotion in the cold palace.

Yun complained of chest pains and fainted. The Queen Mother could no longer sit still and insisted on taking her to Shoukang Palace to take care of her.
