Li Mumu's eyes brightened with joy, "That's great. It means that His Highness the Crown Prince takes you to heart. If not, how could he think of you in everything?"

Li Zhiyin smiled and nodded, then sighed, "If he wasn't the prince, it would be better over there."

"You have to try your best yourself." Li Mumu whispered, "It is not up to him to decide whether it is the prince or not. But what will happen between the two of you is up to you."

Li Zhiyin nodded and said, "You came here today not just to give me these."

"I've been busy these days, and I finally finished my work yesterday, but I always feel like I've missed something." Li Mumu said, "I couldn't sleep at night, and finally I remembered something I forgot."

"Has General Li told you about Su Zhi'er's prophecy?" Li Mumu asked.

Li Zhiyin was slightly startled, then heard Li Mumu say: "It's about predicting the saint, the prince, the eldest prince and the third prince."

Li Zhiyin nodded solemnly.

"My husband went to Turks before and was afraid that he would never come back, so he told me about this matter. If it really happened, he told me to take my family and hide as far away as possible, and not to get trapped in Beijing. The turmoil in the situation." Li Mumu said.

"You were not the Crown Princess at that time. But now that you are the Crown Princess, this matter is related to you. If it really happens, you will not be able to escape." Li Mumu said, "I also thought that in the past General Li will definitely not tell you, dragging you into this for nothing. But since you are in this status now, with General Li's love for you, he must have told you."

"I'm here to tell you, don't take Su Zhi'er's words seriously. When it comes to yourself, I'd rather believe it." Li Mumu said, "I think the saint should think so too."

Li Zhiyin nodded, "Don't worry, in fact, I have been paying attention to this matter since I learned about it."

"I dare not let the prince know that I know about this matter, otherwise my grandfather will be involved." Li Zhiyin said, "Only the saint can believe that he, the third prince and the prince know about this matter."

From the saint's point of view, even the eldest prince didn't know.

But the third prince has a good relationship with the prince, so the third prince should speak with the prince.

The saint called the prince over and told the prince about the matter.

The prince did not conceal what the third prince had already told him.

The prince didn't dare to bet, and with the saint's temperament, how could he not think of this, so he might as well say it honestly.

Otherwise, it will arouse the suspicion of the saint.

As for the eldest prince also knowing about this matter, whether the saint knew it or not is unknown.

"Since I entered the East Palace, I have often had the opportunity to go to the Queen and the Saint. I have tried it in front of the Queen, and the Saint's dragon body is healthy."

"And since the saint learned about Su Zhi'er's prophecy, he paid more attention to his health, asked the imperial doctor to check his pulse every day, and was more attentive and careful about eating than before." Li Zhiyin said, "I haven't seen the prince being more diligent than before. Go to the saint.”

If there was something wrong with the saint's health, the prince would definitely go to the saint's place more frequently.

But now the frequency of princes going to see saints is no different from before.

"It can be seen that the saint's body is fine. At most, there are some minor ailments that are normal for the elderly, but they are not enough to make the saint suddenly become seriously ill and bedridden." Li Zhiyin said, "If what Su Zhi'er said can really come true, then it will definitely It’s man-made.”

Li Zhiyin and Li Mumu thought of going together.

Seeing that Li Zhiyin had already taken this matter to heart and did not think that what Su Zhi'er said was all lies, Li Mumu breathed a sigh of relief.

If Li Zhiyin didn't take Su Zhi'er's words to heart, Li Mumu really didn't know how to convince her.

"Although the range of people who can get in close contact with the saint is limited, if we really count, there are actually many." Li Mumu said, "It is possible for everyone in the palace."

Li Zhiyin stood up and took out a notebook from a locked box.

Li Mumu took the notebook handed by Li Zhiyin and opened it to see that many names had been written in it.

"These are all the names I can think of that have access to the saints." Li Zhiyin said, "The imperial dining room is the most direct, but in terms of possibility, I didn't rank them too high."

"Because the saint's diet has always been strictly inspected, every time the saint eats, there will be a special food eunuch to test for poison, and he will take a bite first to make sure that there is no harm before giving it to the saint. Unless there is something that cannot be detected through the test poison, otherwise he wouldn’t have tampered with food so directly.”

"As for the principle of mutual reinforcement and mutual restraint in food, in terms of daily diet, there are also imperial doctors who first check the sage's menu to make sure that there is no mutually reinforcing food in it that would cause the sage to eat poorly." Li Zhiyin said, "After checking so carefully, if it can still be called People are tampering with the saint's diet, and I'm afraid we can't avoid it no matter how careful we are."

"That's why I ranked the people in the Imperial Kitchen at the lower end." Li Zhiyin said, "In addition, there is the Shangfu Bureau, because they have to make clothes and accessories for the saints. These things can be close to the saints."

"If there is something bad in it, it will easily affect the saint's body, and it is not as easy to detect as food." Li Zhiyin said, "Some poisons are difficult to identify based on their taste alone, and they are easy to be inhaled by some poisons." Covered by the scent of incense, it will be even harder to detect.”

"So what I'm most suspicious of is the Shangfu Bureau." Li Zhiyin said, "There is also the incense officer. Most of the incense burned in the palace is made by the incense officer, but there are also people who are good at mixing incense. Palace dwellers and ladies in the harem are also willing to mix some incense themselves and give it to saints. This range is also very large."

"In addition...unless...there are people in the hospital, then it will be even more difficult to guard against." Li Zhiyin said solemnly.

Li Mumu nodded, "I will go back and think about it carefully. Once the scope is determined, we will investigate it carefully. If it is poisoning, whether it is in food, clothes, or spices, the source of the poison must be found. It's right. It can't be conjured out of thin air." Li Mumu said.

"You are no more free in the palace than outside. If you want to collect the poisons, or collect the raw materials to make them yourself, you need to buy them from outside the palace. If you buy the poisons directly, it will attract too much attention, and you may be able to find out with a little investigation. . The palace gates are tightly guarded, and not everything can be brought in."

"So I prefer to buy raw materials that can be used to make poison if I want to poison. But making poison from raw materials will definitely require a large amount." Li Mumu said, "Then check the items coming in and out of the palace gate, are there any? Something that comes in small amounts many times but adds up to a lot.”

"Check Tai Hospital again to see if any medicines have leaked out." Li Mumu said, "Maybe we can find some clues from it."
