The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

"Besides Kikuhei, who else came to the kitchen today?" Caiyun said with a faint smile.

"Xiao Linzi is here to exchange firewood." Chunyue said while making plum cake.

Caiyun's eyebrows turned, she glanced at the plum cake in Chunyue's hand, and then praised it.

"Chun Yue, you are such a skilled cook. The shape of this plum blossom cake is so beautiful."

"Sister Caiyun, you are so good at making fun of me." Chunyue smiled shyly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Teach me how to do it too!"

……

You hour, Chengqian Palace.

The setting sun on the horizon left only a hint of yellow, and snow-white snowflakes slowly fell down, filling the entire palace with a different kind of emotion.

In the inner hall of Chengqian Palace, Gu Junshen stared at the child on the bed in a trance.

The one with small eyes and small nose is so cute.

After a long period of hard work, the imperial physician finally cured Princess Yong'an of the poison. However, the princess' body had become abnormally rosy due to prolonged fever, as if she was ripe.

Seeing this, Wang couldn't help but shed tears.

The concubines around also showed sad expressions, but it was unknown how much of their sincerity was there.

"Your Majesty, all the people who went to the lotus pond yesterday have been taken out of the palace." Eunuch Liu whispered to the emperor.

When Gu Junshen heard this, anger rose between his brows, making the people around him feel an irresistible majesty.

When they arrived outside the hall, the people standing outside had their faces covered with snow, looking very miserable.

"Liu Sheng asked one by one." Gu Junshen said lightly while standing in the snow.

Chen took the opportunity to hold an oil-paper umbrella for him.

"The slave obeys the order!"

"What did you do in the lotus pond yesterday? Did you see the princess?" Liu Sheng pointed at a palace maid in the first row and said.

At this time, the maid's face was full of fear, and she began to stutter. "I am... a maid who sweeps the lotus pond. I am responsible for cleaning. I did see the princess, but she disappeared in a flash."

Liu Sheng looked at her with dignity, like the judge of the underworld, using his aura to force these people to tell the truth.

The palace maid knelt on the ground as soon as she finished speaking.

"That's all I know."

Then Liu Sheng asked the second person, and he gave almost the same answer, but the answer was smoother than the first one and had more details.

The princess left her personal maid far behind and ran forward playfully.

As the interrogation continued, Gu Junshen became more and more impatient.

Because the answers of these palace maids and eunuchs were almost the same, except for the details.

No one saw how the princess was killed.

After a while, the last palace maid arrived.

This palace maid was dressed slightly differently from the other palace maids. She was wearing the light red dress that Cuiyun described.

Liu Sheng asked the same question, but he was a little exhausted at this time. He no longer expected to get anything out of the palace maid.

But as soon as the light red palace maid opened her mouth, the faces of everyone present changed.

"My Lord, when I was in the lotus pond, I saw Qingzhu, a maid from Zhongcui Palace. She looked flustered and seemed a little anxious...."

The palace maid in light red clothes spoke very decisively, and at the end added some information about the palace maid's clothing and appearance, as well as the direction she left.

"How do you know that she is the maid of Zhongcui Palace? And you even know her name?" Gu Junshen asked doubtfully.

Although he was very sad about the princess's affairs, he still had enough reason to be influenced by the gossip of the palace maids and eunuchs.

He looked at the palace maid in front of him with a cold and questioning gaze, who had a face full of certainty.

"I accidentally bumped into Miss Qingzhu before and was slapped by her. I will remember it this time, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." The light red palace maid quickly knelt down and apologized.

Gu Junshen glanced at her coldly, then said to Liu Sheng who was standing beside him, "Go and call Lady Xiang and her maid Qingzhu."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

……

Wangyueju.

Song Nanxiang blew gently on the female rule she had just copied. The gentle wind blew through the ink on the paper, causing faint ripples.

This was the last article of female rules she copied, and thus, the imperial concubine's punishment on her was completed.

She felt a lot more relaxed immediately.

After copying the rules for women for more than ten days in a row, her hands were extremely sore and she had to massage them for a long time every day before they could recover.

Then, Nanxiang picked up the teacup on the table and started drinking.

She wondered in her mind who was behind this attack on her.

After all, she has already avoided the favor so much, but there are still people keeping an eye on her.

But when she thought about the traitor in her Wangyueju, she felt a little depressed.

If she doesn't find this person, she won't be able to sleep tonight.

"My lady, we caught it! We caught it!" Caiyun shouted happily towards the inner hall.

When Song Nanxiang heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Caiyun.

In fact, if she were to investigate, she could find out, but she couldn't do anything, otherwise she would alert the enemy.

Look, the small fish was caught directly.

Nanxiang casually placed the teacup on the table and hurried out of the hall.

Then he saw the small forest that was being built on the snow by three men.

Half of his face was already on the ground, with a nose full of snow and panic in his eyes.

"Master, I didn't know what happened, so I was held down by Miss Caiyun and Miss Juping." When Xiao Linzi saw Nanxiang coming out, he looked at Nanxiang hopefully and said aggrievedly.

"Caiyun, are you sure it's him?" Nanxiang asked.

"It's most likely him. This happened today when Xiao Linzi went to the kitchen. Before this, Kikuhei and Chunyue were in charge of decocting the medicine."

"And Sister Juping happened to go to the embroidery room today to ask the master for some needles and thread, and didn't go to the kitchen. The one who could cause trouble is this little Linzi." Caiyun said with certainty, her head slightly raised, with a proud look on her face, as if she had done something extremely glorious.

Nanxiang smiled slightly when she saw this.

"As expected. People still need to go through some things to grow up."

"Xiao Linzi, do you have anything else to say?" Nan Xiang immediately changed her expression and asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Linzi immediately became speechless, the hope on his face disappeared, and he became silent and honest.

Nan Xiang glanced at the angry Xiao Benzi next to her, thought for a moment and said casually, "Xiao Benzi, can you tell me if Xiao Linzi has done anything unusual recently?"

"My lord. Xiao Linzi often sneaks out when Xiao Chunzi and I are not paying attention. I have long felt that something is wrong with him." Xiao Benzi said righteously.

"Yes. Yes." Xiao Chunzi agreed.

"If you don't tell me, I will send you to the emperor. I'm sure that by then it won't be as simple as just punishing you." Nan Xiang warned in a low voice with a slightly cold tone.

"I have nothing to say." Xiao Linzi's tone seemed to be somewhat unconvinced.

However, Nanxiang didn't want to go into details. It would be easy once the person was caught.

She has plenty of ways to get anything out of it.

Just as Nan Xiang was thinking about what method to use to force a confession from the real culprit behind the scenes, Kikuhei, who was holding Xiao Linzi, suddenly said, "My lady! When I went to the embroidery room today, I heard that Princess Yong'an didn't just have a fever, but was poisoned."

Nan Xiang became interested and asked, "Oh? What kind of poison?"

"I heard from the palace maids who passed by that it was a poisonous herb called aconite."
