It was heartless, but when she got on the bus, she found that there were a lot of cakes and tea prepared in the carriage.

"Eat! If it's not enough, ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some when we get to the palace."

He said calmly.

"Uh-huh."

After Hua Jianli sat down, he grabbed a piece of cake and started eating it in a completely ungraceful manner, looking no different from a starving ghost.

His cheeks are puffy, like a frog.

Qin Changge poured a glass of water, his face full of disgust, "It's all yours, slow down!"

"Yeah." She took the water and drank it in one gulp. After she swallowed it, she said again, "Brother, you are a good person!"

She was in a dramatic mood, and her eyes were full of gratitude towards him.

"When I become rich in the future, I will definitely repay my brother for his kindness today!"

Qin Changge turned her head and reached out to slap the middle-aged man's face to the side, "Don't let me see you vomiting."

In broad daylight, a man looked at him with burning eyes, but he did not punch him, which was a special favor to her.

Hua Jianli: Tsk! If you don’t want to watch it, then don’t watch it. Who cares…

Along the way, there was no sound except the sound of Hua Jianli eating. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Qin Changge coughed lightly and said, "You said I was poisoned by a Gu. Do you know how the poison entered my body?"

This was also what puzzled him.

Hua Jianli took a bite of the cake and said, "There are many ways to plant poison. Maybe you use something that someone else has used, such as a stool that someone just sat on, or something that someone has touched, or you inhale the smell that the other person releases..."

"Can one be poisoned in this way?" It was the first time he heard of it.

"Well, as far as I know, this kind of poison usually comes from the southern barbarian territory. I believe you must have been to these places recently and met some southern barbarian women...about half a month ago!"

When she said "woman", she winked at him fiercely.

"The women there are the best at raising Gu. Perhaps you are so beautiful that a woman took a fancy to you and poisoned you with Gu in order to threaten you into submission..."

Qin Changge supported his forehead with his hand and said nothing.

Indeed! Half a month ago, he passed through Nanman and met a group of foreigners. He also met a Nanman woman, but he couldn't find out when the poison was given.

"You are lucky to have met me. Once the problems in the palace are resolved, I will be able to treat you. Don't worry, there will be no sequelae..."

Thinking that he was worried about his health, Hua Jianli advised him in a friendly manner and handed him the pastry in his hand.

Qin Changge looked at it for a long while before slowly taking it and saying, "I trust you this time."

……

It was July and there was not a breath of breeze in the air.

The fireball-like sun melted the clouds and shone directly onto the ground, which was scorched to the point of cracking. If you poured some oil on it and added a handful of green vegetables and fried them for a while, Lao Wang next door would cry with envy. The usually gorgeous roses also seemed to have been drained of moisture and drooped their heads. Two local dogs lay quietly under the eaves of the street, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive...

From a distance, this is a vivid and still picture. The wind doesn't move, the trees don't move, the flowers don't move, and the dogs don't move...

The only thing moving should be a horse-drawn carriage that had just driven into the street. Following the sound of horse hooves, looking over there, one could see the unique logo of the Dali Temple engraved on the body of the carriage, and it was heading towards the imperial palace.

The palace gate was as quiet as usual, and the guards performed their duties with dignity and solemnity.

The carriage drove straight in through the gate without anyone trying to stop it. The guards standing at the gates on both sides were sweating profusely, but they remained as still as a mountain. They were afraid that they would die of dehydration if they didn't change shifts.

The stone bench next to it was shiny from the sun, and no one dared to sit on it, for fear that their butt would be hurt.

……

After entering the palace gate, Qingfeng drove the car, while Qinglin stayed at the palace gate and stood next to the guard.

"Brothers, Lord Qin is here to arrest a suspect today. Please cooperate with us later. Lord Qin said that after the task is completed, please have a drink of wine..." As soon as the words fell, a silver ingot fell into the hands of the leader.

The man quickly put his hands in his pockets, with a flattering face, "Master Qinglin, it's too formal for you to say that. We are all brothers. As long as you ask, the brothers will definitely do their best. Besides, if we catch the suspect, it will also be a credit to us!"

Qinglin appears to be a guard beside Qin Changge, but in reality he also has a rank, being the sixth-rank chief of the Dali Temple.

But he never put on airs, was always generous, and treated the guards like brothers. Now that he needed help, they would do their best to help him.

"That's right, Lord Qinglin, just say what you want to say!" someone echoed.

Qinglin just bowed his hands in thanks. The words sound nice, but why don’t you try without giving him money?

"I wonder who the suspect Lord Qinglin is going to arrest today? Brothers should be on guard."

"Come..." Qinglin waved to everyone and the guards gathered.

"..."

Following Qin Changge into the Qin Imperial Palace, Hua Jianli saw the emperor's luxury and grandeur, with golden bricks and red tiles, pavilions and towers...

The palace was full of people coming and going in an orderly manner. Apart from the chirping of cicadas and birds in the trees, there was only the sound of hurried footsteps...

Along the way, ginkgo trees are lined up on both sides of the road, like towering guards. It will be so thrilling when the golden leaves fall in autumn.

Under the tree, various flowers compete for beauty, accompanied by vines and green grass as a backdrop...

It's really a scene at a glance, a rhythm at a scene, and a style at a rhythm...

This was her second time entering the palace, and her mood was different from the last time.

There is no novelty or anxiety, only determination and hatred.

Xuanyuan Jin, Concubine Lan, sister is back again, are you ready?

……

Qingfeng was sent by Qin Changge to perform an autopsy. Although they already knew that the body was not that of the imperial concubine, the emperor did not know it yet. He had to find a reason to convince the emperor.

He took Hua Jian away from the crime scene, and with them went a group of guards assigned to him by the emperor.

When Hua Jianli heard that the murder had occurred in Fuxi Palace, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

As soon as they entered the crime scene, an indescribable stench attacked everyone's nose. There were two young women lying on the ground, about twenty years old, with a lot of dirty and bloody vomit around them. The stench came from the women. It was hot in the summer and the bodies were rotting quickly.

Hua Jianli went forward to check. She was familiar with these two women. Last time in the secret room, they carried her and wanted to throw her into the dry well. Unexpectedly, when they met again, she was still alive. The two had already gone to the northwest.

He squatted down, took a closer look, and concluded, "It's arsenic!"

An overdose of arsenic can cause the poisoned person to experience nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, dizziness and numbness, and limb cramps. In severe cases, the victim may die from organ failure.

There was still fear on the woman's face, her eyes were wide open, and there were signs of kicking and struggling at her feet. It seemed that she was in great pain before she died.

Qin Changge had a gloomy face and took people to search Fuxi Palace, but no clues left by the murderer were found in the room.

Due to several heavy rains yesterday, it was difficult to find footprints on the ground.
