Hearing the "bad news" brought back by Mrs. Hua, Hua Manlou was really worried.On the one hand, he was afraid that his little girl would be too innocent and her identity would be exposed—it must be known that it was the place with the most power in the world. If the people there knew of the little girl's abilities, it would be a great disaster.

On the other hand, he is also afraid that the poisoner will attack the little girl in order to avoid being discovered.After all, although the healing power of Yingcao is extremely strong, its weakness is also obvious. If it is targeted by someone, it is still very dangerous.

However, he had no other choice, so he had to pray that today would pass quickly, and that he could pick up the little girl himself tomorrow.

In the palace, Concubine Wen Gui called all the high-ranking concubines in the palace to the Empress Dowager's Compassion Palace after she invited the Empress Dowager Yizhi. On the surface, she said that the Empress Dowager was grateful for the Buddha and wanted to discuss Buddhism.In fact, I want Yingcao to take this opportunity to see if there is anyone who has poisoned, or someone who has been poisoned.

As a result, all the concubines above the fourth rank were poisoned.

The Queen Mother was shocked, "This... how did this thief get poisoned?"

Concubine Wen Gui comforted the Empress Dowager and said, "Fourth rank is a threshold in this palace. The cost of food and clothing for those above rank four is different from those below rank four. It is difficult to check..."

"Amitabha." The Empress Dowager calmed down and said, "Start with the supplies, since food and drink are not together, and the possibility of poisoning at the same time is unlikely."

"Yes."

The queen mother stood up and wanted to go back to the Buddhist hall, but suddenly remembered something, and said: "Since so many concubines have been poisoned, I am afraid that Anyang will not be spared. Call that girl back quickly to avoid accidents."

Concubine Wen Gui hurriedly saluted, "Yes."

Today, although the harem is prosperous, the offspring withered, and only three children survived.The eldest son of the emperor and the eldest daughter of the emperor are both descended from the late empress, and the eldest son of the emperor has been out of the palace for many years, so it probably has nothing to do with this matter.

The eldest daughter of the emperor went to Longshan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to pray for His Majesty the emperor last month, but she has not returned yet.I heard that this Anyang princess is both civil and military, although she is a daughter, she has the talent to manage the world, and she does not give up to a man, so she is very popular with the emperor and the queen mother.

This night, the few people with the highest authority in the palace spent the night tremblingly.Poisoning is okay when you don’t know about it, but when you know about it, you always feel that everything is wrong with you.

Early the next morning, Brother Hua brought Huamanlou into the palace to pick up Yingcao.Hua Manlou was in a hurry, and the others were also in a hurry, fearing that something might happen to that lovable little girl.

The imperial palace is not a place that can be entered casually, Brother Hua goes in first to report the situation, while Hua Manlou needs to wait in the garden of the front hall.

Right now is the time when everything is sluggish. Although it hasn’t snowed yet, the weather is already very cold, and there is nothing to enjoy in the imperial garden, so there are very few people.

Hua Manlou was anxious, and subconsciously recognized the sound of footsteps coming and going around her.

Suddenly, a brisk voice sounded, "Are you Xiaoying's fiancé?"

Huamanlou heard that the voice was a little girl, so she got up and saluted, "I'm downstairs, Huamanlou, I met Princess Anle."

An Le raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly Hua Manlou guessed his identity all at once.Can this person really see?She took a closer look at Hua Manlou's eyes, and found that there was indeed no brilliance, but this person had a good style, and he could be regarded as a handsome young man.

So she stroked her chin and said, "I wanted to see how you are. If you are not good enough for Xiaoying, this princess will persuade Xiaoying to choose someone else... Now it seems that you are still good. You are barely worthy of our little girl." Firefly."

Hua Manlou had no choice but to smile wryly, not knowing why his little girl became someone else's family after sleeping in the palace... so she cupped her hands and said, "Thank you Princess for taking care of Ah Ying."

An Le waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks, Xiaoying and I hit it off right away, and we are already good sisters now... If you really want to thank you, you might as well listen to my advice."

Hua Manlou's expression changed, and he suddenly felt that the little princess came here for the purpose of saying this, so she said, "Princess, please speak."

An Le looked at him and smiled, with a deep voice that shouldn't be there at this age, "I know some of you are investigating this poisoning case... I might as well tell you that this case can be found from my sister Huang , there will be unexpected discoveries."

"Okay, you can go in, Father has announced you." An Le turned and left without waiting for Hua Manlou to answer.

A eunuch walked over from a distance, quickly saluted her, and said to Hua Manlou after she left: "Young Master Hua, please come with the miscellaneous family, Your Majesty is here to invite you."

Yingcao was very happy to see Huamanlou, and threw herself into his arms regardless.

Hua Manlou hurriedly reached out to catch it, when someone above said: "Look, I and the imperial concubine have treated her badly, right?"

Concubine Wen Gui also laughed and said: "It can be regarded as hopeful for people to come, otherwise, the Qingning Palace of the concubine will be collapsed."

Upon hearing the words, Brother Hua bowed and saluted with a serious face, and said, "Your Majesty, I beg your concubine to make amends."

"That's all." The emperor smiled and waved at him, "I'm asking for your help. Naturally, I have to lower my figure a bit. Let's get rid of the poison first, starting with the Queen Mother. I'm relieved when I get rid of the poison. If people check slowly, people in the left and right palaces can't go out casually."

Neither Huamanlou nor Brother Hua intends to let Yingcao reveal her miraculousness, so she has already prepared a countermeasure.

Huamanlou took out the small porcelain altar that had been prepared earlier, half of which was filled with clean water, and Yingcao dripped five drops of nectar into it.Then put it in a small jade bottle and distribute it to everyone in the palace.

Although the nectar after dilution cannot be as immediate as before, it is more than enough to relieve the eight-day drunk, but the effect is a little slower.

The nectar was given to all the people in the harem in the name of the beauty lotion offered by the small border country. In this way, even if they didn't urge them, all the concubines drank it.

After the biggest concern was settled, the emperor called the commander of the Ouchi guards, and then ordered: "Take these two people around in various places in the palace, and listen to them somewhere."

The commander-in-chief named Yin Shuangcheng was only 30 years old, and he was quite puzzled when he heard this.In the most important place of the palace, people who entered the palace for the first time, let alone walking, were watched even yawning, and now they let him accompany people around?

But after all, it was the emperor himself who spoke, even if he didn't understand it, he couldn't disrespect it.I had to take the two of them everywhere.

"Uh, two, let's start with the front hall!" Yin Shuangcheng said bravely.

Yingcao shook her head, pointed to the northeast direction and said, "Go there."

"This..." Yin Shuangcheng looked at Huamanlou as if asking for help, which meant: Do you care about your wife?

Hua Manlou smiled good-naturedly, "Brother Yin, just take us there, Your Majesty will definitely not blame you."

Yin Shuangcheng had no choice but to take them to the northeast.

The three of them walked further and further away, and the buildings on both sides became more dilapidated and gloomy. Yin Shuangcheng explained: "This area was originally the cold palace of the previous dynasty. After His Majesty ascended the throne, this area of ​​the palace was designated as a forbidden area, so few people come to the palace. .”

Hua Manlou nodded, and asked softly, "Aying, is this here?"

"No." Yingcao continued to look forward, with a rare worry on her face, "Going forward."

Yin Shuangcheng had no choice but to continue walking with the two of them.

After walking for a while, Yingcao suddenly pointed to a red palace not far away and said, "There!"

"Oh, it's Qiqiao Palace!" Yin Shuangcheng immediately felt relieved, "I told you earlier, we're coming in the wrong direction. If we came from Qingning Palace, we wouldn't have to walk so far, and we wouldn't have to pass through this large cold palace."

While talking, he patted the red palace door, but the door didn't open.

He spread his hands and said: "The Qiqiao Palace is used by the ladies in the palace to worship the moon during the Qiqiao Festival. It is not usually open, but it is cleaned once a month by the ladies of the palace... If you want to go in, you have to find a The imperial concubine takes the key."

Hua ManLou understood, lowered his head and asked, "A Ying?"

Yingcao nodded and said worriedly: "It's right here...there are two sweet-scented osmanthus trees that are about to die, I want to go in and save them."

It was the first time Huamanlou heard the little girl's worried tone, and she couldn't help feeling distressed, so she said, "Brother Yin, please take us to get the key."

"Oh, come with me." Yin Shuangcheng pondered as he walked, but he didn't know about the nobleman's poisoning in the palace, and His Majesty the Emperor kept it a secret.But he always felt that something big was going to happen...

However, although he has a lively personality, after all, he has worked in the palace for many years and knows what to ask and what not to ask, so his mouth is always closed tightly.

When Concubine Wen Gui heard that Yingcao had found the location of the sex so quickly, she took out the key without saying a word, and opened the door of convenience.

Yin Shuangcheng opened the door with the key, and was about to go in, but was stopped by Huamanlou.

"Brother Yin can just wait at the door." After speaking, without waiting for anyone to answer, he walked in with Yingcao.The scorpion inside has not been processed yet, and he wears the peach petals given by the firefly grass on his body. Some ordinary scorpions are not afraid, but Yin Shuangcheng does not have a spell to protect him.With Hua Manlou's character, he would naturally be reminded.

As soon as the two entered the door, they smelled a rich fragrance. When they looked up, two huge sweet-scented osmanthus trees were entangled like an embrace. They were located in the center of the yard, and their petals the size of rice grains fell to the ground.Two sweet-scented osmanthus trees, one is golden osmanthus and the other is silver osmanthus. The powdery glutinous and sweet aroma are intertwined, and there is a unique fragrance.

Huamanlou felt it carefully, and exclaimed, "There are hot springs underground, no wonder these two sweet-scented osmanthus bloom for such a long time."

But Yingcao walked forward slowly and gently touched the rough tree trunk: "They are so old... almost 200 years old..."

Hua Manlou gently held her hand, worried: "Aying, what's wrong?"

Yingcao buried her head in his arms and said in a low voice: "Someone poured poisonous water on them, and they were poisoned...the toxin came from their fragrance, and everyone who entered this yard was poisoned. "

Hua Manlou stroked her hair and said: "But everyone's poison has been cured, you are not sad because of this, right?"

Buried in his arms, Yingcao nodded, raised her face and said, "These two trees are going to die...they are over 200 years old, but now, they are going to die..."
