"This servant has met Concubine Su."

The young eunuch bowed and knelt on the ground timidly, not daring to move.

I was afraid of offending the important person and being punished when I returned.

"I heard that you have been bullied in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Do you want to take revenge?"

Su Minglang glanced at the man lying on the ground. When he brought him here, the eunuchs were still humiliating him.

"I want to! What does the queen want?"

The young eunuch knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, especially for those in the harem.

If there is no value in use, there is no status at all.

"You are a smart one. Try to gain Madam Li's trust. Tell me if you have any news. I will not treat you unfairly in the future."

Very satisfied with this person.

Inform him of the money prepared in advance and the plan.

"Thank you, my lady. I understand."

The eunuch thanked him and went back.

So, after returning to Linglong Palace, the remaining silver was given to the second-class palace maid to bribe some other young palace maids to act as spies.

Unbeknownst to anyone, she already had someone in the palace.

"Master, Miss Shu has been poisoned for some reason."

Xiaoqing reported that it was clear that this matter would involve Linglong Palace again.

"Su Jieyu, please."

The eldest eunuch asked impatiently, why is Concubine Su involved in everything?

When they arrived at Lady Shu's residence, all the concubines who had been in contact with her in the past two days were invited over.

The imperial physician is treating him.

Everyone could only wait outside, some of them had their own ulterior motives, and many of them looked at Su Minglang suspiciously.

"Idiot, what is my motive for doing this, and what good will it bring to me?"

He rolled his eyes at the concubine who was looking at him, and his IQ was really worrying.

"you……"

Several people were furious, but couldn't say anything to refute.

It's a bit harsh, but it won't do her any good to do this.

After waiting for a while, I heard crying sounds from inside. I didn't know what happened inside. I only saw the beautiful lady leaning in the emperor's arms, looking very weak.

"Miss Shu was poisoned by oleander, but fortunately she was treated in time and was not seriously injured."

The poison may cause unbearable abdominal pain, diarrhea, and numbness of the limbs at the mildest, or respiratory failure and death at the worst. The dose was not large enough to cause death from the poison.

"Poisoning the concubines in the palace, investigate carefully for me."

The imperial physician checked Lady Shu's daily expenses and found nothing wrong.

That would mean someone somewhere else had deliberately poisoned the person.

The eunuch brought in all the concubines.

"Who poisoned you? Tell me the truth now and I will spare your life."

Xiao Heng swept his anger over the concubines in front of him, taking in everyone's expressions, except for Concubine Su, who remained calm and composed.

No one pleaded guilty.

Then we can only search one by one.

The poisoning of concubines is a serious matter. Everything in the palace is managed in a controlled manner and there is no way they can come into contact with poisons.

Once this happened, someone must have secretly hidden poison.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid. I have no grudges against my sisters. Who is the one who harmed me? Your Majesty, please help me!"

The beautiful Shu lay in Xiao Heng's arms with a weak look on her face, her eyes sweeping over Su Minglang.

"Don't worry, I will punish you severely!"

Xiao Heng comforted her, showing no interest in the woman in front of him.

But this is no trivial matter.

When the queen heard the news, she rushed over and saw the concubines kneeling on the ground, so she walked over to apologize.

"Your Majesty, this is my fault. Please punish me."

It's really not right for such a thing to happen in the harem.

He didn't say anything when he heard this, waiting to find out the culprit.

Xiao Ye, who was in the Imperial Hospital, was very worried when he heard the news but he couldn't leave for the time being. He could only hope in his heart that his master was okay.

Soon, the palaces of several concubines were all searched, and the eunuch brought a bag of black stuff to the imperial physician.

"I saw this thing in Linglong Palace and thought it was strange, so I brought it back. The imperial physician will see if it is poisonous."

The father-in-law handed the things to the imperial physician.

After careful inspection.

"Your Majesty, this is the poison of oleander."

After the imperial physician's examination, he gave an affirmative answer, but he was somewhat surprised as to where such a large bag of poison came from.

Only a small part of it is left in the Imperial Medical Service.

"Su Jieyu, do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Heng snorted coldly and questioned, this matter might not be that simple.

Everything seemed too logical and seemed particularly strange.

"Your Majesty, may I ask where this thing is, eunuch? Is there anyone else around to help search?"

Su Minglang responded calmly. It was such an obvious frame-up, as if she was really a vegetarian.

Even if I poison you, I won't leave anyone alive.

"Under the tree, only the servants could see it."

My father-in-law got a hint of answer and didn't think there was anything wrong during this period.

"Then it's easy. Please ask the emperor to find all the people who just searched Linglong Palace. The oleander poison will have a fragrance when it touches you. If nothing unexpected happens, someone deliberately let the eunuch see it."

Su Minglang smelled a hint of fragrance and concluded that someone had thrown it away on purpose.

This person was smart and knew to throw it into a slightly hidden place, but he forgot that the good person who poisoned it did not destroy it, but threw it away at will.

The imperial physician nodded at this statement, saying that this poison would indeed contaminate the body with fragrance when touched.

When the father-in-law heard this, he indeed noticed a faint fragrance on his hands, which smelled quite pleasant.

All those people were brought in, eight in total. The eunuch checked them carefully one by one, only to see a servant looking evasive and a little flustered.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but he immediately calmed down.

She noticed all the little actions of these people, and after thinking carefully, she knew who the servant belonged to.

It’s a pity that I calculated the wrong person.

If it were someone else, maybe it would have worked.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual about these people."

My father-in-law actually thought it was these people and didn't notice anything wrong.

"Father-in-law, please check this person's arms and clothes carefully again."

She pointed at one of the servants and said that the fragrance could be washed off, but this person had no time to change his clothes.

The servant was very panicked when he heard this, and when he saw the eunuch coming towards him, he was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder.

You are a little too timid.

The smell of urine filled the whole room. Everyone covered their mouths and noses. It was so unpleasant.

In this way, the father-in-law had no way to check, so he retreated after receiving the order.

"I am innocent! I...I am innocent."

He shouted, received a warning look, swallowed, and dared not say it out loud.

"Tell me, who instructed you to poison, and how did you get the poison?"

Xiao Heng was furious when he saw that he was still trying to get away with it.

"It was all my fault. I just made a mistake, and Lady Shu punished me. I was not satisfied, so I went home to visit my family and looked for some of these things. I didn't expect to find them, but I didn't find any. I happened to pass by Linglong Palace, so I just found a random place to throw them away."

He lowered his head and admitted all the guilt, then looked at the beautiful lady with resentment.
