Chapter 62 This was planted by the little princess herself!

The little girl's eyes suddenly moved, and she ran out holding a pot of flowers beside her, and ran to the main hall where Concubine Chen was.

"Mom, I'm here! Are you there?" The little girl's voice arrived before she even showed up.

Concubine Chen put down the account book in her hand, stretched out her arms, and sure enough, a meat ball rolled into her arms.

"It's snowing and it's cold, why did you come out wearing nothing but clothes?"

Xihe's hands were icy cold, so Concubine Chen immediately took a hand warmer from the side and put it in her little daughter's hands.

"I was in a hurry and forgot. Mom, please don't blame me, okay?"

Concubine Chen looked at her little daughter tenderly, but she didn't agree. "If you do that again, I'll beat you! In front of your brothers and sisters."

The little girl is not afraid of being beaten, but she is afraid of being beaten in front of others. To put it bluntly, she is afraid of being embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, remember, I will never make the same mistake again next time!" Xihe promised repeatedly.

Concubine Chen looked at the pot of flowers in Xihe's arms. She vaguely remembered that it was the pot of flowers in the bedroom and asked curiously, "What are you bringing the flowers for?"

The little girl suddenly remembered why she came here, "Mother, Xihe had a terrible dream!"

Xihe only said that she dreamed that someone sent a sick palace maid into the palace, but the maid's disease infected many people. Suddenly, an old man with a white beard told her that this pot of flowers could help them prevent the disease and save everyone.

After hearing this, Concubine Chen was speechless for a long time.

A group of palace maids had indeed entered the palace recently, but she had never mentioned this to her youngest daughter.

This dream was most likely true. Perhaps it was God using my little daughter's hand to warn me.

Concubine Chen stroked the branches and leaves, then turned to Muhua, who was always tending to the flowers and plants, and asked, "How many flowers are there?"

Mu Hua calculated in his heart and said, "There are almost three hundred pots, all of which were sown by the little princess."

Concubine Chen paused, then gave the order, "Send it to each palace and courtyard, and tell them that I said that after winter, there will inevitably be epidemics. Every palace, maids and eunuchs, must smell this stuff. Also, let me emphasize that this was planted by the little princess herself."

Mu Hua took the order and went down to tell people to move the flowers and plants.

Concubine Chen said, "Mu Yuan, go check on the new batch of palace maids. If there are any problems, arrest them immediately. I allow you to execute them first and report them later. Also, have the Imperial Hospital get some mugwort and burn it in every palace."

Mu Yuan turned around and was about to do it, but Xihe grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong, Princess?"

Xihe climbed up, took down the pot of flowers and handed it to Mu Yuan, "Sister Mu Yuan, take this with you and you won't get sick!"

Mu Yuan felt warm in his heart and solemnly accepted the flowers and plants. "I understand. Thank you, Princess."

As expected, when the palace heard that the little princess had planted the flower, they all worshipped the pot of flowers as sacred, and would come up to smell it day and night. After all, the little princess had saved the poisoned concubine with a pot of flowers.

Everyone cherishes life.

Mu Yuan found out a lot of things from the new palace servants, and finally locked on a palace maid based on the little princess's statement.

"My Lady, this is the woman's file record. I checked it and there is nothing wrong with it."

The new palace maids are still learning the rules in the Imperial Household Department and have not been sent to serve in other palaces.

Concubine Chen flipped through two pages and said coldly, "The biggest problem is that there is no problem."

Mu Yuan lowered his head and said "yes", then continued: "Your Majesty guessed correctly, this woman is very cautious, as if she has been specially trained. I followed her several times before I discovered that she would sneak out in the middle of the night when no one was around."

Concubine Chen closed the book. The smell of mugwort wafting from the courtyard hurt her eyes. "Where has she been?"

Mu Yuan paused for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty probably didn't expect that they have people in the Fuhua Palace!"

Concubine Chen suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, "Their goal is..."

"It was the little princess." Mu Yuan himself hadn't expected that the impregnable Fuhua Palace would be infiltrated. "The one who contacted her was a fourth-rank maid who swept the floor. She secretly took the little princess's handkerchief away. Damn it! I don't know when that maid was bribed and left. She didn't even notice and almost harmed the little princess!"

Concubine Chen slammed the cup down and stood up suddenly, her words filled with anxiety, "What about those infected silk handkerchiefs? Xihe didn't touch them, right?"

Mu Yuan quickly said, "Don't worry, Madam. I have watched over it. The silk handkerchief has definitely not been sent back to the Fuhua Palace. It has been completely destroyed."

Concubine Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down, "That's good, that's good."

Then he asked, "Have you checked outside the palace? Who sent it in?"

Mu Yuan looked back, closed the palace door, and then leaned in and said, "My queen, do you still remember the old nanny who was with the one in the cold palace?"

Concubine Chen nodded and said, "I remember that she framed Xihe and was thrown into the lion and tiger garden by His Majesty."

"But Your Majesty, that man was the one who sent the sick palace maid into the palace." Mu Yuan said.

"Ah?" Concubine Chen held the handkerchief and looked at Mu Yuan in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

In the past, all those who were thrown into the lion and tiger park by Emperor Jingyuan were completely destroyed, without exception.

Mu Yuan nodded, "Beichuan personally investigated and told this to me personally."

Like Beichuan, Muyuan and Muhua, they were all prepared for Concubine Chen by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion since childhood.

Mu Yuan and Mu Hua are in charge of the internal affairs, while Beichuan is in charge of the affairs outside the palace.

"Mu Yuan, do you think the person in the cold palace knows about this?" asked Concubine Chen quietly.

"I dare not say."

Concubine Chen sneered, "I underestimated her. She was able to rescue someone from your majesty's lion and tiger enclosure and even send him out of the palace."

"But... Your Majesty, we have no evidence to prove that the woman is related to the one in the cold palace?" Mu Yuan said, "If the woman insists on being accused, then only the old maid will be implicated. At most, the person who facilitated them in the palace will be caught."

Concubine Chen tapped the table slowly, deep in thought. "I bet she must be very anxious in the cold palace right now. If word gets out that Xihe is sick, will she become desperate and do something?"

Mu Yuan asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, are you saying..."

Concubine Chen glanced at Mu Yuan indifferently and said, "Keep her in solitary confinement. You can decide how to interrogate her. Just keep her breathing and able to speak. Then... have that maid go to the cold palace and pass on a message saying, 'The little princess is ill, but I sent someone to suppress it.' You don't need to be too clear; vagueness is best."

Mu Yuan nodded, "I understand, I'll do it right away."

Xihe had no idea what Concubine Chen was planning, but the mother and daughter had the same goals.

Sure enough, within a few days, there was a commotion in the cold palace.

Sometimes Yun complained of heartaches, and sometimes she was about to faint. The Queen Mother could no longer sit still and insisted on taking her to Shoukang Palace for care.
