"That's what happened. Princess Shangyang thinks this method of dip-dying clothes is very novel, and she wants her clothing store to learn from it."

She paused briefly and laughed dryly: "How could I know this? Last time I just saw the elder girl operating it, how can I have the shame to be a teacher to those people!"

Aunt Hai was a little nervous, fearing that Lin Zhiyu wouldn't agree.

She was greedy for merit and told Princess Shangyang that it was her idea, thinking that she would just ask for a reward and that would be it. Unexpectedly, Princess Shangyang actually asked her to teach this method to the embroiderers in the princess's house.

She was unsure, but if she told the truth, Princess Shangyang would never let her off lightly.

In desperation, I can only find an excuse to excuse myself.

Lin Xiaolian stood silent, but in her heart she spat at what Aunt Hai had done.

It’s so shameless!

Lin Zhiyu was deliberately confused: "This is not something that can be explained in a day or two, let alone... Oh, Aunt Hai, you also know it."

This weaving and dyeing craft is an intangible cultural heritage in modern times. Princess Shangyang wants to make a fortune in the capital because of the novelty of the patterns and the gimmick that each piece is unique.

Seeing what Lin Zhiyu said, Aunt Hai knew that there was hope, and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "I sincerely want to learn from you, and it was with the help of the princess that I came to show off to the older girl with my shameless face."

"Aunt Hai, it's not like you don't know. Last time, I almost lost my life because of the court uniform. Now, I'm still very scared."

Lin Zhiyu frowned slightly, raised his hand to rub his temples, and gave Aunt Hai a pointed look.

Aunt Hai broke out in cold sweat on her forehead and looked away guiltily.

"The weather is hot, and Chengen Temple is on a mountain, so snakes and insects are common." Aunt Hai stood up with a sad look on her face.

"This is because the palace servants are ignorant. It would have been fine just to wash it. If you are lazy, why bother putting incense on it? The eldest girl was frightened, and everyone who handled that court dress was punished."

She touched her lower back with lingering fear. If it weren't for her strong bones, she would still be lying on the bed unable to move.

"This can't be easily uncovered by just touching a board!" Lin Xiaolian said at the right moment, "Auntie, there is probably someone with ulterior motives in this clothing bureau who wants to kill my young lady for those two taels of silver. Woolen cloth!"

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Hai's heart beat like thunder, her knees softened, and she knelt down towards Lin Zhiyu.

"Miss Xiaolian, don't say this nonsense!"

The assassination of the eldest girl, if this spread to the emperor, no, not to mention the emperor, even if it comes into the ears of King Jin, her life will not be saved!

Although she is still a young lady who has not yet left the prime minister's palace, she can still be regarded as someone who has half a foot in the royal family. She intends to murder the emperor's relatives, which is a serious crime that can punish the nine clans!

"That incense was specially told by Empress Zhaoyi, saying that the eldest girl should not be treated harshly. This, nothing happened, so how can you spit on someone so violently!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Hai was shocked to realize that she had let something slip.

"How come you are spitting blood! Empress Xu Xiuyuan of Youchunyuan died because of this!" Lin Xiaolian scolded.

Aunt Hai felt like her soul was about to be scared out of her mind. According to Xiaolian, she had indirectly harmed Xu Xiuyuan?

My dear mother.

If I had known earlier, I would not have accepted that jade bracelet!

Seeing that Aunt Hai's psychological defense had collapsed, Lin Zhiyu put down the tea cup in his hand, his eyes darkened, and he reprimanded: "Xiaolian, don't talk too much!"

Then, with a serious look on his face, he said to Aunt Hai on the ground: "Auntie, you might as well think about it carefully. Is there any misunderstanding in this? For example, where did that fragrance come from?"

His tone was soft, not like he was angry with Aunt Hai for what he had done, but there was no intention in his words to ask Aunt Hai to stand up.

Aunt Hai said with a mournful face: "This fragrance comes from the Clothing Department. When I took it out that day, I felt something was wrong with the smell. I thought it was damp, so I didn't think much about it."

It seems that someone has packaged the fragrance.

"Is there any incense left from that day?"

Aunt Hai didn't answer immediately.

Hearing what Lin Zhiyu meant, he probably wanted to see the incense. If there was really something fishy in the incense, wouldn't he be charged with negligence?

Thinking of this, Aunt Hai shook her head: "It has been used up a long time ago."

Lin Zhiyu sighed leisurely: "Let me tell my aunt the truth. Xu Xiuyuan and I have a good relationship. If nothing happened, I wouldn't take it to heart, but Xu Xiuyuan died because of this incident. Then I We have to pay attention to it.”

"The emperor's intention is that if we conduct a vigorous investigation, if nothing is found, it will make people think that I am suspicious. So, aunt, you have also seen it. I am not looking for evidence."

"My aunt also said that this fragrance smells wrong. I originally thought that if there was still some fragrance left, it would be clear whether Xu Xiuyuan was unlucky or someone was harboring evil intentions."

Aunt Hai's eyes were panicked, her head lowered, and she was wringing her clothes.

Lin Zhiyu took his time and prolonged his tone: "But the clue was broken again. Aunt Hai, what do you think is a coincidence? I feel uneasy. I will have to ask the emperor to come forward to see what is going on here. What a trick."

This means re-examining the matter.

If we really pursue the investigation carefully, the first person to be attacked is the Shangyi Bureau, and as a member of the Consul Palace, Aunt Hai cannot escape punishment.

"My aunt has helped me so much. I thought that if something really happened, I could help my aunt, so I went to the Clothing Bureau to find my aunt in person that day. I didn't expect that I came at the wrong time."

"But if this matter gets too big, I really can't guarantee that my aunt will be safe."

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhiyu had some time to relax and watched Aunt Hai's reaction.

Investigations in this palace are always very aggressive. Regardless of whether you are wrong or not, you will be sent to the Criminal Punishment Department first, where you will be given various punishments one by one. No matter how tough-talking you are, you will basically be unable to bear it and tell the truth.

After Aunt Hai weighed and compared the two sides, her heart suddenly changed and she said, "Miss, I just suddenly remembered that the fire was not completely finished that day."

"Someone came to check a few days ago. I was afraid something would happen, so I hid the remaining piece in the crack of the closet."

After saying that, Aunt Hai kowtowed several times: "That's all I know. Miss, I do things according to others' wishes. I have absolutely no intention of harming the girl! Please save my life, Miss!" "

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, aunt is also a victim, isn't she? This incense was replaced by someone else, and aunt didn't know about it." Lin Zhiyu stood up with a smile and helped Aunt Hai up from the ground, "Those who don't know are not guilty, and aunt doesn't have to blame herself. .”

"I asked Xiaolian to follow you and get the incense back. From now on, this matter will have nothing to do with my aunt."
