Chapter 274: Exchange of Interests


"I just said a few words to my sister-in-law's palace servants, so I know more or less."

Miss Qin Si felt a little ashamed for her ignorance, and explained: "The time is too short, and you still have to ask me about my own affairs.

So I don’t know many details.”

Xia Xiaodong's heart was lifted again after he had just put it down.

Even the nobles in the palace knew about it.

It seemed that the queen's house arrest was already a semi-open secret, but it was only kept under an uncomfortable cover to the outside world.

"Have you seen Qiao Qiao'er?"

There is always something very uncomfortable in my heart.

Although I have not been pointed out to Ning Erliu, I have not been pointed out to the Ninth Prince.

So what did the Ninth Prince mean by what he said to Qiao Qiao'er yesterday?

Woolen cloth "She has climbed onto a high branch."

Fourth Miss Qin said flatly, "The Emperor was originally doing everything, but Concubine Liang muttered a few words and then pointed her out to the Ninth Prince.

When the Ninth Prince gets married, After that, you can carry her over to be your concubine.”

Liang Fei is the biological mother of the Ninth Prince.

"You know it quite clearly."

I didn't expect Miss Qin Si to describe it in such detail.

"She's in the same group as me."

Miss Qin Si smiled and said, "Looking at her determination to win, I'm afraid we've already hooked up." hehe.

The uneasiness in Xia Xiaodong's heart became stronger and stronger.

Qiao Qiaoer's plan can come true, but what she said can also come true.

Moreover, Qiao Qiaoer's words of Ning Erliu's admiration have been rumored for more than a day or two.

It's not that simple for this person to change his mind like that.

Xia Xiaodong was not very willing to think in this direction, and it seemed that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of anything good.

A young eunuch came up quietly and bowed to Xia Xiaodong: "Is this Miss Xia?"

"Yeah."

Xia Xiaodong nodded.

"Please follow me."

The little eunuch bowed again and acted as if he was ready to lead the way.

I don’t know anyone in the palace.

Xia Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, but Miss Qin Si next to her gave her a push: "Go quickly, no one in this palace dares to spread rumors, maybe it will be a good thing."

Yes, especially when there are so many beautiful women witnessing it, you can't just deceive yourself and sell it out.

The little eunuch walked very quickly.

In fact, he just took Xia Xiaodong to another side hall not far away, and then walked away quickly.

Xia Xiaodong narrowed his eyes.

This big guy in the side hall cannot be missed at all.

What does Taoist Xuanyuan want to do with me?

Taoist Xuanyuan waved his hand, and after watching the little eunuch walk away, he said straight to the point: "Little Silver Fish can exchange news."

It means that by using the small silver fish hanging in the doorway, you can get news from the palace.

Taoist Xuanyuan has been in and out of the palace a lot, so he must know a lot of inside information.

Damn it, this exchange of interests is too straightforward.

Thinking that the time was really tight and the location was a bit awkward, Xia Xiaodong readily agreed: "Deal."

"I'll say it first, you can talk about it later."

Taoist Xuanyuan was very bachelor: "Anyway, I'm not afraid of you going back on your word."

I have no intention of going back on my word.

Xia Xiaodong nodded: "Taoist Master, please tell me."

"Queen Lu is under house arrest."

Taoist Xuanyuan said directly without expression: "The cause is Concubine Chen Huang's Jianheng Palace."

Xia Xiaodong didn't understand.

"Jianheng Palace is second only to Kunning Palace.

In addition to the main hall, there are two east and west side halls.

The emperor sent a decree a while ago that the west side hall will be rebuilt into Jiaofang Hall."

This is really pampering.

Queen Lu wouldn't object without a long-sighted attitude.

Xia Xiaodong didn't say a word, just listened quietly.

Taoist Xuanyuan glanced at her and seemed very satisfied with her calmness.

He nodded and continued: "The so-called pepper room is to paint the walls with pepper and mud.

Only the most noble concubines are not allowed to enjoy it."

We know this.

Xia Xiaodong still didn't make a sound.

"However, just after the first layer was applied, two of the craftsmen became dizzy and fell from the elevated platform."

Taoist Master Xuanyuan said in a calm tone without any emotion: "At that time, it was only said that the craftsmen were not careful, and they fell down.

Let’s change the old master.”

"After applying the second layer, two newly arrived craftsmen suddenly became very irritable, rolling around on the ground holding their heads, saying they had unbearable headaches; there were also three young workers who had been working before and they had red spots all over their bodies.

The flesh is rotten and the lips are sore."

Taoist Xuanyuan paused for a while.

It’s really not fair to build a Jiaofang Palace.

"Later, we invited people from the Tai Hospital to come and see.

It was not until Sun Yizheng was replaced that he was confirmed to have been poisoned."

When Xuanyuan said that he was changing doctors, he raised his fingers one by one, and did not stop until he raised four fingers.

It must have been replaced by four.

The average craftsman is not in good health, so it would be good to find a doctor first.

If the doctor is not good enough, the medical officer will step in; if the doctor is not good, the medical officer will step in; how can such a conclusion as poisoning be easily drawn?

In the end, you must ask a doctor to dare to say this.

"Since it was said to be poison, no one dared to hide it, and went straight to heaven."

Xuanyuan Taoist sighed: "Later, rumors spread in the palace, saying that the queen was jealous and secretly poisoned people, intending to kill Concubine Chen Huang.

Who knows the laws of heaven?

Zhao Zhao was taken in by the craftsmen and exposed in advance."

Well, this sounds pretty smooth.

However, if it was poisoning, it would definitely not be possible to convict based on such speculation.

At best, it can only be said that there is a motive.

There must be specific means and execution between motivation and reality to form a real chain.

That is to say, how can the poison be carried out and who does it and how it is done?

It is not an easy thing to bring down a queen.

"Later, the queen ordered people to seal off the entrance to Kunning Palace and stay away to avoid suspicion.

She said that she would only need to wait until the emperor finds out the truth before she can be cleared."

Taoist Xuanyuan said, looking at Xia Xiaodong and pointing at Kunning Palace. direction.

It turns out that the so-called house arrest is actually the queen's self-imprisonment, which sounds more like a truism.

I mean, go ahead and investigate.

I have locked myself up myself.

It is impossible to erase the traces of the incident or hinder the investigation.

Anyway, I didn't do it.

I'm sorry that no matter how much you check, you won't be able to find out the problem.

When no problem could be found, the Queen took the initiative.

"However, it was quickly discovered that the pepper used to smear the Jiaofang Palace was all paid as tribute by the Lu family's uncle around the Mid-Autumn Festival last year."

Taoist Xuanyuan's face became unhappy: "Because pepper has a strong smell and is expensive, so They are all sealed in small boxes and sealed with yellow mud, and have the Lu family’s seal on them.

This has been confirmed by many people.”

Is this a crazy idea?

Could it be that the Lu family has been deliberately plotting to kill someone since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year?

At that time, there was no decree to build a Jiaofang Palace for Concubine Chen Huang.

"Is there anything left?"

Xia Xiaodong had no hope for a positive answer to this question.

If there are any leftovers, just check to see if the remaining ones are poisonous.

They must have all been used
