"It's already dark, why hasn't the prince come out yet?"

After returning from Chuxue, Tuan'er had been waiting outside Jin Juetian's dormitory for a long time. It was getting dark but there was still no movement in the room.

Your Majesty, is he tired and sleeping too deeply?

Thinking of this, Tuan'er was even more reluctant to call people.

Qing Sui didn't know the reason, but he also had something to report here. The prince asked him to investigate the things that should not be done, and he had already investigated almost everything.

"It's time for the prince to get up and have a meal. Qingsui, did the prince fall asleep as soon as he came back?"

Qingsui shook his head, "After I went to see the old princess, I locked her in the room when I came back. When I went in, she looked a little strange. I'm afraid she wasn't sleeping."

"The old princess... said something?" With their master's face, it was impossible to be like this. Hearing what Qing Sui said, Tuan'er began to worry, "Something was wrong when the prince came in. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

fool.

"You didn't even ask." Qingsui replied matter-of-factly.

"No, I'll go take a look."

"Don't go. Manager Lu has told us that if the prince doesn't ask us to come in and serve him, no one should go in. Just let the prince stay alone."

"ah!?"

Tuan'er, who had never been in such a situation before, didn't know what to do for a while. He was worried, but he didn't dare to rush in rashly.

At this moment, the door creaked open.

Qingsui and Tuan'er both looked over, "Your Majesty!"

Looking up and down, it seemed like nothing was wrong, and it looked like he had just woken up. Of course, it just looked like it.

"Well, Tuan'er is back."

Tuan'er's eyes rolled, was the prince sleepy? It was already dark and he was still not back. She was not a guest, just giving something away.

"Go back to your lord, it has been destroyed a long time ago, and the things have been delivered to Jin Yuhou."

"Well, let's go get some food and bring it in. Qingsui, come into the house and talk."

Is it getting dark yet?

Time does fly by very quickly sometimes. It seems that he hasn't been alone in such peace and quiet for a long time. It's good to do it occasionally.

"Have you checked it out?"

There was no brazier or light in the room, so Qingsui quickly lit the candlestick.

"After checking, it should indeed be a secret poison in the original Dayuan Palace. When we occupied this place, the prince once ordered people to count the things on the palace, and everything in the dark places.

They are not allowed to move and will be handed over to the Emperor when he comes, so the poison was not on the list at that time."

"It means that the emperor found the poison after he arrived in Yong'an City. There should be a list in the palace. Are there any detailed records?"

"Yes, but the medicine was recorded as eighteen pills at the time. Now when I count it, there are only sixteen pills. One pill is missing."

Therefore, the medicine came from the current palace, not the Dayuan Palace at that time. In other words, the poison used to kill Baili Yongkang came from the palace. But based on these, it is difficult to say that it was Concubine Yao. Although

It was a bit of a coincidence that Baili Yongkang happened to appear at the Li family before his death, and Concubine Yao happened to be there too, but these cannot be used as evidence.

It can be said that Concubine Yao was framed. Without evidence, everything is possible.

Unless it can be proven that Concubine Yao took the poison thrown in the palace.

"Where is the medicine stored in the palace? This kind of thing must not be left randomly, right?"

"...keep it in the secret cabinet of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"When did the defense of the secret pavilion become lax, and no one knew that something was missing? It seems that I should ask Chief Hu how he was guarding it."

The young man was silent. It was naturally impossible for Concubine Yao to go to the Secret Pavilion to steal the medicine by herself, let alone bribe someone from the Secret Pavilion to help her steal the medicine. Concubine Yao was probably not that stupid, so the origin of the medicine might be investigated again.

If you go down, it will be a crime of unfavorable control in Mi Pavilion.

The person who really knows some clues is probably not in the palace anymore.

People come in and out of the palace every year, and it has been three years since the emperor arrived in Yong'an City. When did the medicine leak out and where should we start to investigate?

"Your Majesty, is it really Concubine Yao?"

For this kind of thing, Qingsui would only dare to talk to Prince Tian in private when no one else is around.

"What happened outside just now? Has the Criminal Department closed the case?"

"The case has been closed and the list has been announced. By the way, Your Majesty, Concubine Yao has been demoted to concubine and temporarily moved to Ziluo Palace."

"Concubine?"

"Yes, it was the empress who took the initiative to ask the emperor to convict her. Although her status was reduced, the emperor still seemed to favor her very much. After she was demoted to the Ziluo Palace, she was sent a lot of things." So everyone is saying,

The emperor did this just to set an example and let the concubines restrain their families.

"He's quite smart. There's no reaction from the Li family?"

"No!"

Just as he was about to talk, Tuan'er also came in. Jin Juetian walked to the table to eat and told Qingsui: "Let people keep an eye on the Baili family. In addition, ask someone to check. In the past three years, the Baili family has not

Is there any excessive behavior in business that targets Tongda Tianxia?"

"yes."

"Well, go and get busy. Tomorrow is the Spring Examination. Let them pay attention to everything else that should be paid attention to. During the Spring Examination, no problems are allowed. This year's Spring Examination is very important to the imperial court."

"Yes, the prince will finish his meal in a while, but he still wants to go out?"

Qing Sui just asked casually. Whenever there is any important event in the court, the prince will discuss it in detail the night before. This has been the case for these years.

"Today... I won't go out. When I go out, call Lao Lu."

"yes!"

At this moment, Qing Sui really felt that something was unusual. Afterwards, he realized that the main reason was that the prince's behavior was too abnormal. This was definitely not his style. The prince actually said that he would not go out today.

Tomorrow is the spring exam, and he knows how much the prince attaches importance to this spring exam.

"Your Majesty, eat more."

Tuan'er also realized that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only do his best to serve him.

"Tuan'er, when you went to deliver the things, was she at the house?"

I thought the prince would stop asking, "I happened to meet him at the door, as if he had just come back from outside."

"Well, things...does she like them?" After asking, Jin Juetian regretted a little, but the words had already been spoken and it was hard to take them back.

"...I accepted it, I think I like it."

Tuan'er thought about it for a while and replied. It was really hard to tell whether he liked it or not. Anyway, he accepted it without being polite.

"knew."

Got it...then what?

Tuan'er waited cautiously on the side, "Wang... Your Majesty, is it... that the Princess does not agree with Jin Yuhou's entry?"

After asking, Tuan'er's whole body tensed up. Oh my god, curiosity killed the cat. Why did she have the audacity to ask? Why did she just ask? Can she take it back?

Jin Juetian glanced at Tuan'er, this girl always did some unexpected and bold things.

This is somewhat similar to her.

"What do you think?"

She...she thinks?

What does she feel? Can a slave like her feel such a thing?

This kind of thing is not something that a slave like her should ask.

"Little prince!"

It was such a heavenly voice that Tuan'er immediately turned to look at Lu Guangnian who appeared in time. Why had she never seen Manager Lu's voice so beautiful before?

"Tuan'er, you go out first." The more curious she became, the more he didn't want her to know anything.
