Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 196
On a barren hill, Xu Yuzuo was fiddling with a pile of blackened bones and said, "The deceased died of arsenic poisoning."

"Are you sure?" Xiao Qian naturally believed in Xu Yu's judgment, but out of caution, he still asked one more question.

Xu Wu said: "Definitely."

Xiao Qian remained silent, as expected he was poisoned to death.

Not only was he annoyed, he had already returned to the capital before Director Cui died, but unfortunately he completely ignored this clue at that time, otherwise the truth might have come to light long ago.

"Prepare the corpse and bury it back." Xiao Qian ordered Guan Sheng.

After waiting for a while, Feng Ling came back.

The two walked away to talk.

"I asked the little eunuch who guarded the imperial mausoleum, and said that in the second year after Director Cui's death, someone did come to Director Cui, and said that he was from the same village as Director Cui, and the little eunuch brought him to the hospital. In front of the grave. Other than that, no one has come to look for Director Cui, so the incense sticks and paper money on the grave should be left by that person." Feng Ling said.

Xiao Qian frowned.These joss sticks and paper money are old and new, so it can be seen that Mr. Cui's fellow villagers come to pay homage every year.

It is estimated that what the fellow said was just an excuse. It should be someone that Manager Cui knows, and the relationship is unusual, or he is an insider.

Who could this person be?All of Director Cui's cronies back then are no longer in the palace, and their whereabouts are unknown.

"Did you ask him what he looked like?"

"I asked, maybe not many people came to the imperial mausoleum throughout the year, so he still remembers the appearance of that man. He is half a head shorter than me, thin, with eight-character eyebrows, and there is a mole on the left temple. By the way, the little eunuch said. , He smells like medicine."

Xiao Qian's eyes froze, the smell of medicine?

Could it be someone from the imperial pharmacy?

This is an important clue.

"You go back immediately and pass the information to Zhen Ri'an, asking him to pay attention to whether there are people with eight-character eyebrows and black moles on the left temple in the imperial pharmacy."

"Yes."

Feng Ling immediately went down the mountain and returned to the city.

Xiao Qian waited for Guan Sheng and the others to rebury Director Cui, stood in front of Director Cui's grave and said, "Cui Youxing, I'm bothering you today. If you die unjustly, I will avenge you."

Then Xiao Qian rushed back to Shuntian Mansion with his men.

As soon as he arrived at Shuntian Mansion, Lu Zhaonan greeted him: "I have something important to tell you."

Xiao Qian motioned him to speak in the back hall.

Hearing the post from Prince Jing's mansion to Lin Yanyan, Xiao Qian's face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

The third brother actually wanted to pester Lin Yanyan.

"She said she was going to find His Majesty to solve it, Xiao Qian, so she didn't tell herself? This crime of deceiving the king..."

Hearing this, Xiao Qian was not so anxious. It is true that the only way to solve this matter is to ask the emperor to solve it, and said: "It's okay, the emperor has long known that Lin Yanyan is Zhen Ri'an, and Zhen Ri'an is Lin Yanyan. This time, Lin Yanyan entered the imperial hospital. , I passed the bright road with my father."

Lu Zhaonan breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained: "Xiao Qian, you are so mean, you didn't tell me about such an important matter, you made me feel anxious and almost went to the palace."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. Father doesn't want too many people to know about it."

Lu Zhaonan resented, he understood Xiao Qian's meaning, that is to tell him not to ask too many questions, this is an errand assigned by the emperor.

"However, I still want to thank you today, otherwise Yanyan will definitely be caught off guard, and it will be troublesome when her identity is exposed."

"Okay, as long as it's okay, buy me a drink tonight and calm me down." Lu Zhaonan said.

"Later, you will be indispensable for this drink. I have to go to the palace. If I don't go to see it myself, I will always feel uneasy." Xiao Qian patted Lu Zhaonan on the shoulder and rushed to the palace without stopping.

In the Guanghua Palace, Concubine Zhu Gui said: "I go to the Compassionate Ning Palace every day to pay my respects, but I haven't seen Miss Lin, so this must be Miss Lin's excuse!"

If it is true, Lin Yanyan is too bold. Using the Queen Mother as a cover should be punished as the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Prince Jing said: "Perhaps the concubine did not see her when she left, and Miss Lin will not be by the queen mother's side all the time."

In fact, Prince Jing also had such doubts. It was obvious that Lin Yanyan wanted to hide from him, so he went to the palace to seek proof.

Concubine Zhu nodded slightly: "That's right, Han'er, the mother concubine has thought about it, Miss Lin is deeply loved by the queen mother and your father, I think the queen mother loves Qingrou only so much, if you can really accept Miss Lin as the side concubine , will help you a lot.”

If she was just greedy for Marquis Ding'an's prestige, she would not consider letting Han'er Nalin Yanyan be her side concubine. After all, Lin Yanyan was once the granddaughter-in-law of Zhu's family, and they broke up after a quarrel.But Lin Yanyan was pleasing in front of both the queen mother and the emperor, so she couldn't help but be tempted. After all, whether Han'er could ascend to the position of crown prince was at the emperor's whim, and the queen mother was the only one who could influence the emperor's decision.

Besides, Lin Yanyan is shrewd and capable, far stronger than Princess Jing, and Princess Jing is not as honorable as Princess Zhao in front of the emperor.

Prince Jing happily said: "My son was also thinking about it out of many considerations, so I troubled my mother and concubine, and went to the Palace of Compassion to make sure that Lin Yanyan was with the queen mother. Miss contact contact."

It's not that he hasn't used his brain, but Lin Yanyan is either in the Hou Mansion or the Tongyuan Building, and the Tongyuan Building only accepts female guests. It is too difficult for him to create opportunities to get along with Lin Yanyan.

But if Lin Yanyan is in the palace, it will be easy.

Concubine Zhu Gui smiled: "Forget it, Mother Concubine will take a trip for you."

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, the Emperor had just finished telling the Queen Mother about Lin Yanyan's incarnation of Zhen Ri'an and entering the Imperial Hospital to investigate the case, when the palace staff reported that Concubine Zhu Gui had arrived...

Concubine Zhu greeted the queen mother and the emperor, and said calmly: "Just now when Han'er entered the palace, he spent a lot of effort to find a 500-year-old ginseng. Handed over to the concubine, let the concubine forward it to the queen mother on his behalf."

The nurse next to Concubine Zhu held a red lacquer and gold box.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Han'er has a heart."

Let people accept it.

Concubine Zhu said: "Han'er has always been thinking about the Queen Mother's well-being, and when he finished his work, he said that he would come every day to pay her respects to the Queen Mother."

"Aijia's health is much better. Let him not worry about it too much. All the state affairs are the most important thing, and the most important thing is to share his father's worries." The Queen Mother said, no matter whether these emperors and grandchildren are true filial piety or purposeful filial piety, she is not willing. They often come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, especially the eldest and the third child. The two have been fighting for storage for many years, and they can't stand each other.The establishment of the crown involves the country, and the emperor has a steelyard in his heart, and she also believes in the emperor's vision, so she will not interfere with the emperor's decision, so these emperor's grandsons don't have to make their minds on her.

Concubine Zhu glanced at the emperor who was drinking tea slowly, her smile was a little stiff, she looked around intentionally, and said: "I heard that Yan Yan came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to make medicinal food for the Empress Dowager again, why didn't I see her?"
