Feng Yunmo cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Please allow me to check again. I hope I can find the reason."

"Okay, thank you, doctor." The queen now believed Feng Yunmo's words without a doubt.

Feng Yunmo stroked his beard and returned to the small Buddhist temple in the side hall, looking around in the small temple.

The Empress was worried, so she had a chaise longue brought in and placed outside the side hall door. She carried herself over and lay down on the chaise longue.

This side hall was her secret place. Normally, no one except two personal palace maids could enter.

How could she feel at ease letting an outsider enter and investigate a place like this?

What if the secret is discovered?

But she couldn't stop the investigation. If someone really poisoned her little Buddhist temple on purpose, she wouldn't know how she died in the future...

Seeing Feng Yunmo standing in front of the Buddha statue and staring at it carefully, the queen became very nervous.

"Miracles doctor, there can't be anything wrong with that Buddha statue..." she couldn't help but say.

Feng Yunmo nodded, sniffed around the hall again, then walked out of the hall and came to the courtyard outside.

After looking around the courtyard, he returned to the side hall door and replied, "Your Majesty, I have roughly understood what is going on."

"Oh, what's going on?" asked the queen in surprise.

She didn't see anything.

"My Lady, this is just a coincidence from beginning to end! I have smelled it carefully, and the incense and candles in the small Buddhist temple are made by secret recipes. In addition to the main ingredient of high-quality agarwood, they also contain several rare flower scents, including a purple clematis flower. Originally, burning it as incense and candles would not cause any harm, but..."

Before he could finish, the Queen interrupted him with a raised eyebrow, "Are you saying that the person who made the incense and candles wanted to harm me? Someone -"

Feng Yunmo waved his hands hurriedly, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood! This incense and candle was not poisonous originally. It just happened that there were pine and cypress trees and a few poinsettias planted outside this side hall. In recent days, there was a south wind, which happened to carry the scent of pine, cypress and poinsettia into the hall. The mixture of the three scents turned into a rare poison..."

After finishing his words, Feng Yun let out a sigh of relief.

It's really hard to justify myself!

Fortunately, we found these things. When mixed together, their smell can indeed produce similar toxicity...

He has discovered the Queen's secret, but if he reveals it now, not only will he be unable to escape, but it will also alert the enemy and give the Queen a chance to erase the evidence of her guilt.

The queen also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Feng Yunmo's words.

Come to think of it, those incense and candles were not only available in her palace.

There are also some in the Queen Mother's Palace and in the other concubines' palaces...

But the queen was obviously suspicious. In order to verify Feng Yunmo's words, she called several imperial doctors over, asked them carefully, and asked people to confirm the materials used to make incense and candles before she finally believed it.

Then he ordered people to change other incense and candles.

He also ordered the palace servants to immediately remove the poinsettias in the courtyard.

Soon, after the queen drank the medicine soup prepared by Feng Yunmo, she continued to eat and nothing was wrong.

"Your Majesty, I will prescribe another prescription. Take it twice a day for three days and you will be fully recovered." Feng Yunmo said.

The queen nodded and admired Feng Yunmo's medical skills very much.

After writing the prescription, Feng Yunmo left the address of the inn where he lived in the capital, took the 100 taels of gold rewarded by the Queen, and left the palace.

General's Mansion.

When Xiao Chunran and several secret guards returned, it was already the end of the Xu hour.

"Brother, have you found out anything?" Shen Qingyin asked.

Xiao Chunran raised his head and drank the tea handed to him by Fan'er. He let out a long sigh and then told Shen Qingyin and Mu Beiyan the news he had found out.

He went to Taoyuan County and arrived at the hometown of the postman, but did not find him.

After some inquiries, we found out that the postman had moved away from the area with his family more than ten years ago, and no one knew where he had gone.

"So, the clue is broken again." Shen Qingyin's heart sank.

This postman is their greatest hope at the moment.

"No." Xiao Chunran shook his head, "We found it!"

"Oh, how did you find it?" Shen Qingyin was surprised.

"It happened that I met a thief near the postman's house. He tried to steal my purse, but after I caught him, he begged for mercy. I asked him a few more questions, and he actually knew the whereabouts of the postman. He said that he had been out stealing that night and had seen the postman and his family leave Taoyuan County. He followed them and stole some of their valuables."

"Later, the thief took us to the countryside of Lin County, and we found him. The postman looked at me carefully and understood my purpose. Then he told me everything."

From Xiao Chunran's next words, Shen Qingyin learned another shocking truth.

It turned out that Jin Yunyan disguised herself as a maid and as soon as the delegation entered the capital, she was noticed by the Crown Prince who was in charge of receiving the delegation at that time, now the Emperor.

Despite Jin Yunyan's repeated refusals, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted on his own way and frequently went to the inn to find Jin Yunyan.

In order to show his sincerity, he even had to depose the then Crown Princess, who is now the Queen.

Later, when the Queen at that time, who is now the Queen Mother, learned about it, she tried her best to stop it.

Although the matter was stopped, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not give up. Every now and then, he would find various excuses to go to the inn to see Jin Yunyan...

After hearing this, Shen Qingyin suddenly understood.

The lady had mentioned before that when Your Majesty was still the Crown Prince, he fell in love with a woman at first sight, and because of this, he had a grudge against the Queen Mother and the Empress.

It turns out that the woman is Jin Yunyan...

Shen Qingyin also told Xiao Chunran what he knew.

Xiao Chunran nodded, "Everything is right, it seems that what the postman said is true."

"Did the postman know about the fire in the post house that year?" Shen Qingyin asked again.

"According to him, he did take leave when the post house caught fire that year, but he rushed to work early the next morning. He happened to be cleaning up the fire scene, and several jailers who had survived were also there. When he went to ask, a postman he had a good relationship with told him that the fire was set by someone from the palace... He also advised him to leave quickly and not to get into trouble. He knew that things were not going well, so he left in a hurry. Later, he resigned from the post house on the grounds of being unwell..."

"Later, he learned that the emperor had sent people to investigate and said that the fire was caused by the jailers' careless use of fire, and all the jailers were executed. He was terrified and moved away from his original residence with his family..."

"It really is God's will. If it weren't for this jailer, there are many things we wouldn't know." Shen Qingyin sighed.

"Sister, I have another good news to tell you, you will never imagine it!" Xiao Chunran wiped away the gloom on his face and suddenly became excited.
