imperial concubine

Chapter 174 Impatient

Su Wan's chariot staggered away from Zhanqing Palace, and after walking for a while, Su Wan secretly opened her eyes and saw that there was no one around, only her water drops and the eunuch carrying the chariot beside her. Take it easy.

She sat on the chariot and sat down, and asked Shuizhu softly, "When I left just now, was there no one else in Zhanqing Palace? Concubine Shu didn't see that I was pretending to be drunk, did she?"

Su Wan was sitting in the fish viewing pavilion just now, and saw clearly that Yinggui was tripped by the eunuch beside him while admiring the fish, and then fell into the lake.Su Wan was afraid that this matter would affect her, so she pretended to be drunk.

The water drop next to the walking chariot also answered softly, "Prince Concubine, when I left just now, there were only a few people who were very close to Concubine Shu, such as the nobleman. When Concubine Shu looked at Miss, there should be no See it. So we can leave smoothly."

Today in the Fish Watching Pavilion, the Empress and Concubine Shu lifted themselves out at the same time.Obviously, the two have no patience with themselves, so they joined forces on such an important occasion to teach themselves a lesson.

If Concubine Shu sees that she is not drunk in the end, she will definitely take this opportunity to let herself express her opinion. Between the queen and her, there must be a choice.But Su Wan doesn't want to do this now, so she can only pretend to be crazy by drinking to get away safely.

Thinking of this, Su Wan couldn't help shaking her head, "Concubine Shu's test is over today. But I don't know what will happen tomorrow! Presumably the second concubine and Yun Jingya will visit again tomorrow, what a headache."

Now the empress and concubine Shu are on the verge of breaking out, and the two of them will never allow anyone to stand in the middle.If Su Wan continues to be neutral, I'm afraid that when the time comes, Empress Concubine Shu will definitely deal with Su Wan first.

Just after returning to Yiliang Palace, I saw that Zhuru had been waiting at the gate of the palace, "Zhuru has met Miss." Seeing that Zhuru was very calm, but there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, Su Wan knew that something must be reported to himself.

Su Wan pretended to be drunk and kept muttering, then Shui Zhu and Zhu Ru helped her off the chariot, and then helped her back into the quiet room.Although he has already arrived at Yiliang Palace, there is no guarantee that the palace ladies and eunuchs will not have the eyeliner of the queen and concubine Shu, and they will do a full set of plays.

When the door of the quiet room was closed, Su Wan's eyes suddenly became clear, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there another news from the black clothes? But what happened to the man in the other courtyard?"

Ever since the empress purged the harem, Su Wan had ordered the black clothes not to deliver news for the time being unless it was an important matter.Today, all the concubines in the harem are in Zhanqing Palace, so Yiliang Palace will definitely be fine.Zhuru was so anxious, presumably it must be the news from Heiyi.

Zhuru shook her head and said, "Hei Yi has passed the news that he has entered the palace. But it's not about the man in the backyard. It's about the matter that Miss asked him to investigate last time, and it has already begun to take shape."

Since Su Wan ordered to protect that person last time, Hei Yi did not find a suitable opportunity to continue approaching him.What's more, the things in the palace are much more important than that person, so Hei Yi devoted most of his staff to the things in the palace.

Su Wan was relieved when she heard that it wasn't her younger brother who had the accident, "There are a lot of doubts about the incident in the East Palace. I don't know what Heiyi found out this time? Is there any useful evidence or news?"

Last time, although Hei Yi found out that the Yuan family sent the elixir to the East Palace, he had no idea who handled this matter and what the formula of the elixir was.At this time, the news came, and there must be some clues.

Zhuru nodded and said: "Miss, Hei Yi has already found out all the news about Yuan's family sending the medicine into the palace. Even the staff. These are the various people who handled the medicine after it entered the palace."

As she spoke, Zhuru handed over a three-inch piece of paper with something written on it in small letters.After Su Wan looked at it carefully, she nodded slowly.Black Clothes is still reliable in doing things. Not only did he find out who was connecting, but he also found out the time and place.

After reading the note, Su Wan asked: "Since Hei Yi has already felt this line so familiarly, I guess he also got the formula of the elixir? Did you send it to the palace together?"

Heiyi's current identity is the disciple of Yuan Yilan's sect.Since he was so familiar with the line for delivering the medicine, he must have already got the prescription.

Sure enough, Zhuru reached out and took out another large piece of paper, and handed it to Su Wan, "At this time, the prescription was brought back from the imperial pharmacy. Those pills are made from these medicines."

Su Wan took the prescription, but saw that the above list was only some very common medicinal materials, there was no poison at all, and there was no first-class poison such as arsenic, which made people frightened.

After looking at it for a long time, Su Wan was still puzzled, put the prescription on the table and asked, "Zhuru, are you sure it's this prescription? But I don't think there's anything unusual about this prescription at all. You can't make a mistake Bar?"

Although Su Wan knew that the possibility of Zhuru making mistakes was extremely small, there was really no problem with this prescription.The prescription is dead, but people are alive, so you can only ask the living and not the dead.

Zhuru shook her head and said: "I have confirmed again and again that it is this one. What's more, when the man gave it to the servant, there was only one. The servant will definitely not make a mistake!"

Hearing what the dwarf said, Su Wan nodded.He picked up the prescription again, and after carefully looking at it three or five times, he saw some ways in it. After thinking carefully, he realized that the original family was going on such a path!

Seeing the young lady laughing, Zhuru quickly asked: "Miss, have you seen the secret in this prescription?" After reading this prescription, Zhuru didn't understand the meaning of it at all.Now the lady must have guessed it, so she laughed.

At that time, because of this prescription, I even trained the little eunuch in the imperial pharmacy.Looking at it now, I am afraid that I have wrongly blamed the little eunuch.Find an opportunity to apologize to others in the future.

Su Wan nodded and said: "Of course. This is not a prescription at all. No, it is a prescription, but it is not as obvious as we usually write. So, as long as you read it a few times, you can see the clues."

Just now I took a cursory look at it, and was almost deceived.If it wasn't that there was no other way, I wouldn't pick up this prescription and look at it carefully, and naturally I wouldn't discover the mystery in it.

Zhuru took the prescription, looked carefully at it, and handed it to Shuizhu. Shuizhu looked at it for a while, then shook his head at Zhuru.Seeing this, Zhuru quickly asked: "Miss, what's going on?"

Zhuru was the dowry maid brought by Su Wan when she entered the palace, so she naturally had an unusual relationship with Su Wan.Therefore, such words can only be said by Zhuru.If the water drops were changed, Su Wan would have already suspected that she was the work of someone else.

Looking at Zhuru's appearance, Su Wan said with a smile: "You can't read this prescription vertically, you have to read it horizontally. Only by reading it horizontally can we see what message the black clothes want to convey to us!"

Hearing Su Wan's words, Zhuru read it again half-believingly, only then realized that the black clothes had written the letter horizontally, so it was so obvious, but she couldn't see it!
Seeing Zhuru's dejected expression, Su Wan said with a smile: "It's okay, in the future you will practice more, and this kind of little trick will naturally be hard for you. How many pills have the Yuan family sent to the palace now?"

Su Wan has already read the prescription.Although the elixir used was extremely common, it turned into an extremely powerful chronic poison with the help of the emperor and ministers.The Yuan family didn't know where to find such a powerful prescription.

Zhuru carefully put away the prescription, and then said to Su Wan: "Miss Hui, according to the news from the black clothes, the East Palace has already received 31 pills. However, in the past few days, the Yuan family has not prepared any more pills." This elixir."

Before that, the Yuan family divided the pills into the palace three times, the first time was eleven pills, and the remaining two times were ten pills respectively.But seeing that it was almost time to deliver the elixir, the Yuan family didn't move at all.

Hearing Zhuru's words, Su Wan frowned tightly, and there was a light of thought in her eyes.After a long time, Su Wan just slapped the table and said, "Oops!"

Zhuru and Shuizhu who were standing next to each other didn't dare to show their breath at first, but suddenly Su Wan made such a loud noise, which startled them both, and their hearts couldn't stop beating wildly.

After calming down, Shui Zhu frowned and asked, "Prince Concubine, what's the matter? Did something serious happen? Or is there something wrong with what we did in Guanyu Pavilion today?"

In Guanyu Pavilion today, things developed as Su Wan expected.It's just that the concubines in the harem are all scheming people, and it's impossible to guarantee that any one of them will see through the prince's concubine's scheme.

Su Wan shook her head and said, "That's not true. It's just that I just thought of the reason why the Yuan family didn't send the pills, so I got carried away." Su Wan smiled wryly, "The Yuan family has such poor patience!"

Hearing that the lady had come up with the reason, Zhuru on the side quickly asked: "Miss, what is the reason? According to common sense, isn't the more you take this kind of slow poison, the faster the poison will develop?"

If it is highly toxic such as arsenic, although the effect is extremely fast, it is also easy to be detected. More importantly, no matter what, this kind of highly toxic will definitely have clues, and it is very easy to expose the lies.

But if it is a chronic poison, although the effect is slow, it is much safer.If a person took the chronic poison for a year, who would know where the chronic poison was sent in the first place?
More importantly, with this kind of slow poison, there is enough time to hide the tell. Even if the victim dies in the end, others want to investigate, but they can only find that all the clues have been cut off.

Thinking of this, Su Wan said to Zhuru: "May the family must think that these 31 pills are enough, so they will start to cut off all possible places to be found. And the most important thing is that they can no longer Concoct this poison."

Only by erasing all traces in this way can no one find any clues.In this way, it is the best strategy to do a shocking event without affecting oneself.

Standing aside, Zhu Ru nodded and said, "So that's the case. Doesn't that mean that His Highness the Crown Prince has already..." At this point, Zhu Ru didn't dare to continue, and could only look at Su Wan in a daze.

Since the Yuan family did not send the elixir, it proved that His Highness the Crown Prince was about to be poisoned.And according to Su Wan's previous speculation about the plan of the second princess, Su Wan's current situation is getting more and more dangerous!
Thinking of this, Su Wan immediately said to Zhu Ru: "Zhu Ru, have you found out about the black clothes? Who is the mastermind behind that?" Lan, I'm afraid, she is behind this matter!

For the current plan, if Su Wan does not want to become the scapegoat of the second princess for no reason, then the only way to find out the person behind the scenes is to find out the person behind it first. Only in this way can Su Wan be able to wash away his grievances.

Zhuru looked at Su Wan timidly.Did not speak.Su Wan looked at Zhuru's appearance, feeling a little strange in her heart, then shook her head and said, "Say what you have! No matter what kind of person is behind the scenes, I won't be surprised."

Hearing the young lady's words, Zhuru said in a very low voice: "According to Hei Yi's news, the person behind the scenes is exactly you, young lady!"

Su Wan was stunned for a moment.
