On a barren mountain, Xu Junzu fiddled with a pile of black bones and said, "This deceased died of arsenic poison."

"Are you sure?" Xiao Qian naturally believed Xu Junzhu's judgment, but out of caution, he still asked more questions.

Xu Zhuo said: "Confirm."

Xiao Qianran was indeed poisoned to death.

Not only was he upset, he had already returned to the capital before Mr. Cui died, but unfortunately he completely ignored this clue at that time, otherwise the truth might have been revealed long ago.

"Full the bones well and bury them back." Xiao Qian ordered Guan Sheng.

After waiting for a while, Feng Ling came back.

The two walked away and spoke.

"I asked the little eunuch who guarded the imperial tomb and said that in the second year after General Cui's death, someone had indeed come to see General Cui, and said that he was a fellow villager of General Cui, and the little eunuch took the man to the grave. Apart from that, no one had come to see General Cui, so the incense, candles and paper money on the grave should have been left by that man." Feng Ling said.

Xiao Qian frowned. These incense, candles, paper money are new and old. It can be seen that the fellow villager of General Cui comes to pay tribute every year.

I guess the fellow villager said it was just an excuse. He should be someone whom General Manager Cui knew him, and his relationship was extraordinary, or he was an insider. Therefore, he dared to come to General Manager Cui until the matter was over.

Who would this person be? Manager Cui’s confidants were no longer in the palace and their whereabouts were unknown.

"Have you asked what that person looks like?"

"I asked, maybe not many people came to the imperial tomb all year round, so he still remembers that man, half a head shorter than me, clear and thin, with a horoscope, and a black mole on his left temple. By the way, the little eunuch said that he had a scent of medicine."

Xiao Qian's eyes stern, the smell of medicine?

Could it be someone from the Imperial Pharmacy?

This is an important clue.

"You go back immediately and pass the information to Zhen Ri'an, so that he can pay attention to whether there are people with eight-character eyebrows and black moths on the left temple in the imperial pharmacy."

"yes."

Feng Ling immediately went down the mountain and returned to the city.

Xiao Qian and Guan Sheng and others buried General Cui again, stood in front of General Cui's tomb and said, "Cui Youxing, I'm upset today. If you die unjustly, I will avenge you."

Then Xiao Qian and his men rushed back to Shuntian Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at Shuntian Prefecture, Lu Zhaonan came up and said, "I have something important to tell you."

Xiao Qian signaled him to go to the back hall to speak.

When Xiao Qian's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of water when he heard the Jing Mansion send a post to Lin Yanyan.

The third brother actually wanted to bother Lin Yanyan.

"She said she went to his Majesty to solve the problem. Xiao Qian, then wouldn't she not tell her own advice? This is the crime of deceiving the emperor..."

Xiao Qian was not so anxious when he heard this. It was indeed the most appropriate thing to ask his father to solve this problem. He said, "It's okay, the father has long known that Lin Yanyan is Zhen Ri'an, and Zhen Ri'an is Lin Yan'an. This time Lin Yanyan went to the Imperial Hospital and passed the Ming Road in his father's place."

Lu Zhaonan breathed a sigh of relief and then complained: "Xiao Qian, you are so indifferent. You don't communicate with me in advance about such an important matter, which makes me so worried that I almost entered the palace."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. My father doesn't want too many people to know about this."

Lu Zhaonan was disappointed. He understood what Xiao Qian meant, just to ask him not to ask more questions. This was the errand assigned by the emperor.

"However, I still want to thank you today, otherwise Yan Yan would definitely be caught off guard and would be troublesome when his identity is exposed."

"Okay, it's fine. Please invite me to drink tonight and suppress my shock." Lu Zhaonan.

"Late later, you are indispensable for this wine. I have to go to the palace. If I don't go to see it in person, I will always be uneasy." Xiao Qian patted Lu Zhaonan's shoulder and rushed to the palace without stopping.

In Guanghua Palace, Concubine Zhu said: "I go to Cining Palace to pay tribute every day, but I haven't seen Miss Lin. Could this be Miss Lin's shirkness!"

If so, Lin Yanyan would be too bold. He should be punished for deceiving the emperor by using the empress dowager as a guise.

Prince Jing said: "Maybe I didn't see my mother when she went there, and Miss Lin wouldn't be with the Queen Mother at all times."

In fact, King Jing also had such doubts. It can be seen that Lin Yanyan had the intention to hide from him, so he went to the palace to verify.

Concubine Zhu nodded slightly: "That's right, Han'er, the mother has considered it. Miss Lin is deeply loved by the Queen Mother and your father. I think the Queen Mother is so fond of Qingrou. If you really can take Miss Lin as your concubine, it will be of great help to you."

If she was just greedy for the reputation of Ding'an Hou, she would not consider letting Han'er take Lin Yanyan as her concubine. After all, Lin Yanyan was once the granddaughter-in-law appointed by the Zhu family, and she had a disagreement. But Lin Yanyan could like both the Queen Mother and the Emperor, which made her unable to help but be moved. After all, whether Han'er can ascend to the position of crown prince is just the emperor's thoughts, and the Queen Mother is the only person who can control the decision of the emperor.

Besides, Lin Yanyan is smart and capable, far better than Princess Jing. Princess Jing is not as good as Princess Zhao in front of the emperor.

King Jing said happily: "It was because of many considerations that my son had become so thoughtful, so I was worried that my mother would be affected. I went to Cining Palace to confirm whether Lin Yanyan was with the Queen Mother. My son could also find opportunities to contact Miss Lin more."

It’s not that he hasn’t thought about it, but Lin Yanyan is either in the Hou’s Mansion or the Tongyuan Building. The Tongyuan Building only receives female guests. It’s too difficult for him to create opportunities to get along with Lin Yanyan.

But if Lin Yanyan is in the palace, it would be easy.

Concubine Zhu smiled: "Forget it, my mother will go there for you."

In the Cining Palace, the emperor had just told the Empress Dowager that Lin Yanyan had transformed into Zhen Ri'an and entered the Imperial Hospital to investigate the case, but he heard from the palace servants that Concubine Zhu had arrived...

Concubine Zhu invited the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to Ann, and said, "Just just now, Han'er entered the palace, and he spent a lot of effort to find a ginseng that had been over 500 years. He wanted to send it to the Empress Dowager himself, but he was troubled by government affairs, so he handed it over to me and asked me to submit it to the Empress Dowager on his behalf."

The nanny beside Concubine Zhu held a box with red paint and gold scribbling.

The queen mother smiled and said, "Han'er is intent."

So someone accepted it.

Concubine Zhu said: "Han'er has always been worried about the Queen Mother's health. When he finishes his work, he says he wants to come to pay tribute to the Queen Mother every day."

"Ai's family has been much better, so he should not worry too much. Put state affairs first and share his father's worries first." The empress dowager said that no matter whether these grandsons were truly filial or purposeful filial, she did not want them to come to Cining Palace often, especially the eldest and third brothers. The two of them had been fighting for the crown prince for many years, and the fire and fire were incompatible. The establishment of the crown prince involved the foundation of the country, and the emperor had a scale in his heart, and she also believed in the emperor's vision, so she would not interfere with the emperor's decision, so these grandsons did not have to put their ideas on her.

Concubine Zhu glanced at the emperor who was drinking tea slowly beside him, her smile was a little stiff, she looked around deliberately, and said, "I heard that Yan Yan came to Cining Palace again to make medicinal food for the Empress Dowager, why didn't I see her?"
