The matter of Yongning Palace is no longer a secret. The queen was killed and the harem was in an uproar.

Sui Bao'er has been restless all day, and today she heard that a medical girl died in the Medical Bureau.He couldn't help but think of the bag of silver needles he found outside Qionghua Palace that night.

It was Zhu Yong from Yongning Palace who buried the silver needle, and the one who gave him the silver needle was a strange eunuch.Although he is not sensitive to the affairs of the harem, he also knows that Qionghua Palace and Yongning Palace are at odds.He didn't know what Zhu Yong's purpose was, so he didn't touch the silver needle, but buried the silver needle as it was.

However, upon hearing the news of the Queen's murder, Sui Bao'er became a little restless.He knew it shouldn't be like this, but he couldn't help but wonder if Zhu Yong's needle burying outside Qionghua Palace was a plot by Yongning Palace against Qionghua Palace.Just like the five princes of Qionghua Palace were poisoned and the toxin was found on the Shu brocade given by the queen.

He shouldn't be involved in the battle in the harem, he would be smashed to pieces at every turn.But Zhu Yong's performance that night still made him suspicious.Although he has never met the empress, everyone in the palace praised her for her wisdom and grandeur, and the third son of Wei is also a man of clear wind and bright moon.Sui Bao'er privately felt that such insidious methods in the harem should not be done by the empress.

After struggling for a long time, Sui Bao'er still decided to tell the truth about what she knew.Not to mention that the queen was killed, it was the little inner eunuch who dropped the bamboo whistle a few days ago. He searched for many days but never found anyone, as if he evaporated out of thin air.However, these two incidents were involved in the murder case, and he didn't think he could be alone.

The emperor handed over the case of Yongning Palace to Tui Cheng Wei Zhao of Dali Temple, and Baowen Pavilion was not far from the previous dynasty, Sui Baoer planned to wait for Wei Zhao.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, Sui Baoer waited for a long time but did not see Wei Zhao.He couldn't rush forward to inquire, so he could only wait anxiously aside.Just as he was hesitating whether to go back, he caught a glimpse of Feng Yu striding towards the harem with his robe lifted.If it wasn't for the fact that running was not allowed in the palace, I'm afraid Feng Yu would be able to run and fly.

"Master Feng has always been cautious, I don't know why he is in a hurry this time." Sui Bao'er muttered, and suddenly remembered that this was the younger brother of Qionghua Palace.Could it be...

Sui Bao'er didn't delay here any longer, and hurried back to Baowen Pavilion, only to see Desheng whispering to Xiao Shunzi with a mysterious expression on his face.Seeing him coming back from the corner of his eye, he quickly waved to him and told him: "Someone dug out a pack of poisoned silver needles outside Qionghua Palace."

Sui Baoer: ...

For the first time, he felt that Desheng's inquisitiveness was so cute. After all, before entering the house, he was still racking his brains on how to learn what happened in the harem from Desheng without appearing so obtrusive.

Sui Baoer hummed coldly as usual, but this did not dampen Desheng's enthusiasm for gossip at all, on the contrary, it made Sui Baoer talk more excitedly.

"...I heard from a friend of mine."

Sui Bao'er couldn't understand a small eunuch of Baowen Pavilion who couldn't enter and leave the harem. Where did he make these "like-minded" friends.Of course, this does not prevent Sui Baoer from listening to gossip.

"Today, a little eunuch who tended flowers and plants was working in the garden, and found that there was something wrong in a small place. The soil seemed to have been dug. He believed it, so he turned over the soil , What’s the result.” Desheng slapped his thigh: “Dug out a pack of silver needles!”

Sui Bao'er unconsciously clenched her hands, pricked up her ears and continued to listen.Xiao Shunzi gave a wow in a very face-saving way.Desheng became even more energetic.

Looking around, seeing no one else, he put his head in front of the two of them, lowered his voice and said: "Gossip, it is said that the Queen's murder is related to Yinzhen."

Sui Baoer's pupils suddenly shrank.

Desheng was still nagging: "The matter of the fifth prince of Qionghua Palace has not been resolved until now. Everyone guessed that the emperor was protecting the queen, so no one should investigate further. The silver needle came, in my opinion, the master of Qionghua Palace couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to take revenge."

Xiao Shunzi exclaimed: "Impossible, didn't you say that the Empress Dowager escaped death and nearly died twice, this is really vicious."

Desheng snorted: "You are not cruel, others will be cruel, otherwise you will just wait to be dismantled and eaten."

Xiao Shunzi couldn't help shaking.

Sui Baoer thought it was wrong.

"If it was really the work of the Qionghua Palace, since she was able to succeed under the strict protection of the Yongning Palace, how could she easily ask someone to find such important evidence. Besides, such a big thing happened not long ago. How did it spread all over the place?"

Xiao Shunzi said, "Could it be that someone deliberately framed Concubine Feng Gui?"

Naturally, Sui Baoer would not tell the two that he saw Zhu Yong bury the bag of silver needles outside Qionghua Palace that night.It's just that what he can think of, those big shots must also be able to think of it.The queen is wise, even if she wanted to frame Concubine Feng Gui, she would not use such a method.Instead, it looks like someone is fishing in troubled waters.

After all, Sui Bao'er didn't know much about the affairs of the harem. Since the Qionghua Palace silver needle incident happened, the third son of Wei must go to the palace to inquire.After much deliberation, he still had to find Mr. Wei San to explain the situation.

It's just that the rapid development of things was beyond Sui Baoer's expectation.

In the afternoon of the same day, all the eunuchs who patrolled the queen's day of childbirth were found and detained.Among them was Eunuch Luo, the internal supervisor who met Zhu Yong on the way.

Sui Bao'er remembered that they met Eunuch Luo near Haitang Garden, not far from there was Qionghua Palace.Eunuch Luo didn't realize it at the time, but thinking about it later, he would definitely feel suspicious, especially Zhu Yong's excuse was to go to Chengdemen to meet the old lady Wei. It was obvious that he was lying.

Although Eunuch Luo didn't want to offend Yongning Palace, he had no friendship with Zhu Yong, and was just a third-class servant of Yongning Palace.Therefore, Eunuch Luo confessed to Zhu Yong without any burden.

As a result, the development of things is a little subtle.

Concubine Feng Gui looked unhappy.

The First Prince stood by, his eyes downcast in thought.Feng Yu sat at the bottom of it, and Mrs. Feng sat opposite Feng Yu, also with a sad expression on her face.

"Tell me, why does it keep going all the time? Before our little five's bones were cold, something with a blunt screwdriver bumped into it. It was trying to drive my daughter to a dead end." Mrs. Feng used her handkerchief The son wiped away his tears, looked at the eldest prince, and asked softly: "Is Qi'er still investigating Xiao Wu's case? Have you found any clues?"

The eldest prince said with a look of shame on his face: "Qi'er is stupid, since Yao Zhu's death, this whole thing is like a broken thread, there is no way to investigate it."

Mrs. Feng just said in her head: "In my opinion, it must be that Yongning Palace who didn't run away..."

Feng Yu coughed lightly and said, "Mother speak carefully."

Mrs. Feng glared at him: "Just protect him, when someone sells you, you still count the money for him."

Concubine Feng Gui rubbed her forehead and said with a helpless expression: "Your brother is right, mother should not mention this again. It will be fine in my palace, if someone listens to it outside, I don't know how much trouble will be added Woolen cloth."

Mrs. Feng blushed, and muttered in a low voice: "I just said it here at your place, and I'm not stupid."

Concubine Feng Gui suddenly felt a little tired.

Feng Yu said: "It's not pleasant to say, my sister is today thanks to the emperor's pity. The emperor knows how much power we have in our hands. If the incident in Yongning Palace is said to be done by my sister, I'm afraid no one will believe it. .”

Although Concubine Feng Gui is favored, her city is not deep.If she were to be another concubine, she would have gathered the harem early and placed manpower.But Nanny Feng has a plan in mind, there are some things that Concubine Feng can't think of, but Nanny Feng has already planned for her.Therefore, Concubine Feng Gui also has some influence in the harem, but most of them are under the control of Li Huai.After all, the Feng family's foundation is too shallow.This is also why Li Huai would rest assured of the First Prince.

Mrs. Feng hurriedly said: "That's not the reason. I heard that there is a piece of Tietong around Yongning Palace, and no news can be leaked out. It means that this time the incident has exploded."

Concubine Feng Gui was also at a loss, and asked: "Will it be like last time, someone will use Qionghua Palace and Yongning Palace as their sons?"

Feng Yu said: "Our two palaces are not fools, let others flatten and round them. Even when Xiao Wu had an accident last time, my sister could calm down and think about it. If she didn't confront the queen, could it be possible this time? They can't make up their minds. The matter of the silver needle is too much."

The eldest prince pondered for a moment, and said: "But we can't guess what other people are thinking. Although we know that this matter has nothing to do with Qionghua Palace, we can't control what others think. In their view, Qionghua Palace is too popular , although the concubine mother is not good at wielding power, after so many years of being favored by her, it is not surprising that there are forces to rely on. Besides the matter of Xiao Wu first, no matter what, Qionghua Palace is the most suspicious."

Feng Yudao: "But the empress is sensible, as long as the empress doesn't move, their deployment is also useless." He thought for a while, and then said: "I heard from Ah Zhao that whenever things are done, there is always a purpose. What seems superfluous to us may be a key step to others, so we have to judge others by ourselves and figure out their purpose in doing so.”

The eldest prince frowned: "But we don't even know who is behind it..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Er asked for instructions outside the hall.The eldest prince lifted his spirits and hurriedly called someone to come in.

He sent Xia'er out to investigate, presumably there was some new news.

Seeing that the room was full of her own family, Xia'er didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "Eunuch Li from the Inner Court Secretary took Zhu Yong from Yongning Palace. The slaves went to inquire and found out that Zhu Yong had appeared near the Begonia Garden on the night of the queen's accident. He was bumped into by Eunuch Luo."

Feng Yu and the First Prince looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Wei Zhao, who also received the news, was even more surprised.

Gui Momo's expression was a little bit bad: "It's the old slave who neglected to watch, and I ask the empress to come down."

Wei Shuning was teasing Pei'er in her arms softly with her eyes, and said with a nonchalant smile: "How can you blame Nanny Gui. There are so many people in Yongning Palace all relying on Nanny Gui to dispatch them, it's so inconspicuous It is very difficult for a slave to be discovered if he does not commit crimes."

Wei Zhao rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's so easy to be caught by the tail, I don't think Zhu Yong and the elder sister's murder may have much to do with each other."

Wei Shuhua said: "But why is it such a coincidence, Ah Zhaocai said that the elder sister's murder might be due to the poisoned silver needles, so he found the poisoned silver needles in Qionghua Palace. And when Zhu Yong left Yongning Palace, the imperial physician Chen did not Just decided to use the oxytocin injection, if Zhu Yong hadn't learned about the crime tool in advance, how could he have buried the needle in Qionghua Palace by such a coincidence."

Wei Zhao leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, it's just my guess. Doctor Chen's needle pack is still with old doctor Lin. Whether the medicine has been quenched by now It has not been completely confirmed yet. Besides, Yongning Palace is so strictly inspected when entering and exiting, even when Xiao Mozi went to Chengde Gate to meet his grandmother and me, he had to be carefully interrogated before he was released. How is Zhu Yong a mere third-class slave? To escape the interrogation of Yongning Palace?"

Wei Shuhua's eyes widened: "Doesn't that mean that the power behind it is extremely deep, there must be something wrong with the silver needle, and Zhu Yong must have known about it in advance. Follow Zhu Yong down to find out the mastermind behind it. "

Wei Zhao didn't deny it either, so he decided to go to the trial himself.But before he could go, the Inner Court sent a statement.Things went so smoothly that Wei Zhao almost thought the confession was false.
