The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

The mandarin duck vine, also known as honeysuckle, is white at first, and then turns yellow. It is also known as honeysuckle among the people.

The mandarin duck vine blooms in the spring, and the flowering period is extremely long, and the flowers can still be seen until the early autumn.

Although this flower is common among the people, it is rarely seen in the palace where every plant and tree is precious and rare.

How does the little honeysuckle flower compare with the beautiful peony and the colorful peony?

Jiang Si's question was strange, and the concubines couldn't help but look at each other.

Princess Yan specifically asked where the mandarin duck vines were planted in the palace. What does this mean?

"Old seventh daughter-in-law, you asked about the mandarin duck vine, can it be related to today's affairs?" Emperor Jing Ming asked slowly.

Jiang Si's attitude is calm: "Daughter-in-law is not sure, just ask first."

Perhaps it was Jiang Si who cured Princess Fuqing's eyes, and the previous method of making the flower buds bloom showed too much magic. Although Emperor Jing Ming couldn't think of any connection between the humble mandarin duck vine and the death of the fifteenth princess, he showed that Full of patience: "Have you heard Princess Yan's question?"

What Jiang Si asked was about the palace, Princess Rongyang and the people who lived outside the palace didn't know what to do.

"You all think about it, if you can't think of it now, I will send someone to find out who has a mandarin duck vine in the palace--" Emperor Jing Ming didn't say anything later, but the warning was full.

This was to celebrate his beloved daughter's sight, but another daughter was killed. If it wasn't for her excellent self-preservation, Emperor Jing Ming would have long been furious.

After a suffocating silence, a palace maid suddenly knelt down and said timidly: "Report to the emperor, slave maid... slave maid once saw a piece of mandarin duck vine in a place..."

"where?"

When Emperor Jing Ming was questioning, those who recognized the maid all turned their attention to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian could hardly maintain her calm expression, and asked sharply: "Pomegranate, do you know what you are talking about?"

It turned out that the maid named Shiliu was the maid of Yuquan Palace, and she accompanied Concubine Xian to the banquet today.

"Concubine Ai, why don't you listen to what she has to say." Emperor Jing Ming glanced coldly at Concubine Xian, and his tone was not very good.

Concubine Xian never expected the trouble to come to her, so she endured her anger and asked the maid, "Then tell me, where did you see the mandarin duck vine?"

The palace maid secretly gave Concubine Xian a helpless look, bowed her head and said, "This servant has seen Mandarin Duck Vine at Chen Meiren's place..."

Chen Meiren?

Emperor Jing Ming was a little bewildered.

The queen reminded very considerately: "Chen Meiren is the biological mother of the Fourteenth Princess and lives in the side hall of Yuquan Palace."

The living regulations of concubines and concubines in the Dazhou Harem are all very particular. Only when they reach a certain level are they eligible to have independent palaces. People like Jieyu and Meiren can only live with high-level concubines.

Hearing that she had seen Mandarin Duck Vine at Chen Meiren's place, Concubine Xian was slightly relieved and at the same time secretly said that she was unlucky.

These low-level concubines lived in a scattered manner depending on the high-level concubines, and which palace they lived in was assigned according to the rules.

Although I don't know what Princess Yan asked about the intention of Yuanyang Teng, it is obviously not a good thing, but the people who are found live in Yuquan Palace, which is really a disaster.

"Is Chen Meiren here?" Emperor Jing Ming asked with a frown after clarifying Chen Meiren's identity.

This palace banquet was originally organized by the queen, so she was naturally aware of this, so she immediately said, "Chen Meiren has taken a leave of absence."

"A leave of absence?"

"The fourteenth princess fell ill two days ago. Chen Meiren took leave and said she was going to take care of the fourteenth princess."

When the princess turned twelve, she no longer lived with her mother and concubine. The fourteenth princess was as old as the Fuqing princess and had already moved out of Yuquan Palace.

Of course, although the princesses lived separately from their mothers and concubines when they grew up, because they were all in the harem, it was very convenient for the concubines to visit, and there was no need to report to the queen.

"In other words, Chen Meiren and Shi Shi are not in the hall?" Emperor Jing Ming's brows became tighter and his mood was inexplicably heavy.

The queen nodded: "Exactly."

Emperor Jing Ming looked at Jiang Si: "Old seventh daughter-in-law,

Now I know where there are mandarin duck vines, what do you mean by this? "

"My daughter-in-law has to go and see for herself."

Seeing that Jiang Si's words became more and more puzzling, Emperor Jing Ming couldn't help but glance at Yu Jin.

What does the seventh daughter-in-law mean?

"Father, the daughter-in-law is not selling off the child. It's just that this matter is very important. The daughter-in-law does not dare to influence anyone indiscriminately. Only by going to see it in person can you be sure."

Emperor Jing Ming sighed: "Alright then, ask Pan Hai to take you to Yuquan Palace."

Jiang Si slightly bent his knees again: "I also ask the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital to accompany you."

Jiang Si had already been allowed to go to Yuquan Palace, so Emperor Jing Ming would not be embarrassed by this, and nodded without hesitation.

Yu Jin originally wanted to ask to go with Jiang Si, but the look in Jiang Si's hand dismissed the idea.

At this time, the most uncomfortable thing was Concubine Xian.

Princess Yan actually had to go to Yuquan Palace in person, what was she selling?

Could it be that Chen Meiren has something to do with the death of the fifteenth princess? how can that be!

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out, so that Concubine Xian thought of Gong again.

But at this time, none of the people present could leave, and it would be a shame to tell the emperor that he was going to go out.

There is no way but to endure.

During the waiting process, Emperor Jing Ming closed his eyes and said nothing, and everyone couldn't help but whisper.

"What is Princess Yan doing looking at the mandarin duck vine?"

"Who knows? Is it possible that mandarin duck vines can poison people?"

This is meant to be a joke.

The few imperial doctors who stayed in the hall exchanged glances, and there was some kind of terrifying guess.

Of course, before Princess Yan came back, they didn't dare to say a word.

Princess Rongyang waited impatiently, and sneered at Ningluo County Lord beside her: "I think Princess Yan is just pretending to be mysterious."

Ningluo County Master is the mother of Chen Huifu, and her daughter was very ugly at the Meimei Banquet. After careful cross-examination, her intuition was inseparable from Jiang Xi, so she did not agree with what Princess Rongyang said, and said in a low voice: "It's hard to say. , Don't look at Princess Yan's youth, but she has the means...:

After a long wait, Jiang Shi finally returned, holding a folded handkerchief in his hand.

"Seventh daughter-in-law, can you clarify now?" Emperor Jing Ming opened his eyes and asked, and out of the corner of his eye glanced at Pan Hai.

As Emperor Jing Ming's most trusted eunuch, Pan Hai had seen many storms, but at the moment his face was pale, obviously something extremely shocking had happened to him.

"Father, the daughter-in-law has probably found the source of the poison."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Where?" Emperor Jing Ming couldn't wait to ask.

Jiang Si calmly said: "It's in that patch of mandarin duck vines!"

"Impossible, mandarin duck vine is not only non-toxic, but also a good medicine!" Many people blurted out.

The poison that can kill the fifteenth princess in a short period of time will be mandarin duck vine? Simply ridiculous!

Jiang Si did not change his expression and blessed Emperor Jing Ming: "Father, please ask Zhang Yuan to speak."
