The imperial physician nodded immediately and sent someone to fetch the medicine jar.

After a moment, the medicine jar was presented.

Su Jinyue carefully examined the medicine jar and found that there was a faint purple mark on the inner wall. It was obvious that someone had tampered with the medicine jar!

"It is true." She said softly, but her heart was cold.

"Miss Su, is there...is there something wrong with this medicine jar?" Ruan Liuzheng asked with a frown.

Su Jinyue nodded, "Look here, this layer of purple marks should be some kind of extremely difficult to detect poison."

Ruan Liuzheng heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Such a vicious method, the person behind the scenes is so meticulous, it's outrageous!"

"If it weren't for the virtuous concubine testing the medicine for the little princess, the situation would probably be even worse now." Su Jinyue said in a low voice.

She secretly made up her mind to find out the murderer behind the scenes and bring him to justice.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall again, and a guard walked in in a panic.

"Your Majesty has sent a message. Miss Su, please go to Lingxiao Palace immediately. The Queen wants to see you about something important."

Su Jinyue's heart trembled, and her intuition told her that this matter seemed to be related to the Queen.

"Miss Su, please be careful." Ruan Liuzheng reminded.

"I know." Su Jinyue took a deep breath, then stood up and followed the guards out of the hall.

Soon, she arrived at the gate of Lingxiao Palace.

The guard bowed to her respectfully and said, "Miss Su, the Queen is waiting for you inside."

Su Jinyue nodded slightly, the palace maids on both sides pushed open the door of the hall, and she walked in.

In the hall, the queen sat on a high chair with a smile on her face, looking graceful and elegant.

"Miss Su, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" The queen's voice was gentle, as if there was no grudge between them.

Su Jinyue was alert in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine."

"I heard that you played a great role in yesterday's incident. You are worthy of being Miss Su." The Queen praised.

Su Jinyue bowed her head slightly, "I have only done my part. Now that Princess Xihe is gone, I only hope that Your Majesty and Your Majesty are safe."

The queen sighed softly, "You are good at talking. I didn't call you here today to ask you these questions."

"Empress..." Su Jinyue was about to speak but was interrupted by the Queen.

"I called you here today because I learned that you and Xiao Duo are about to get married, so I specially prepared some gifts. I hope you will live happily together." The queen smiled.

Su Jinyue was secretly shocked, but she remained calm on her face, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am very grateful."

At this moment, a strange light flashed in the queen's eyes, and she looked at Su Jinyue with a smile.

"Miss Su, I sometimes feel that we are quite similar."

Su Jinyue's heart trembled, and she lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty is as bright as the sun and the moon, how can a minister compare to you? Your Majesty really makes me embarrassed."

The queen smiled and changed the subject, "I heard that Consort Xian and the little princess were poisoned. You went to see what happened today. Was it Princess Xihe's doing?"

Su Jinyue hesitated slightly and said seriously, "I think this matter has nothing to do with Princess Xihe. There is someone else in the palace who wants to poison the little princess."

"Um."

The Queen seemed very satisfied with this answer. "Since you said so, I also want to tell you something."

Then she raised her voice and ordered, "Come, take some spices to the offering hall to drive away evil spirits and evil."

The maids beside the queen took the order and hurriedly retreated. After a while, two maids came back with two sachets in their hands.

"Miss Su, please take a look." said the Queen.

Su Jinyue checked the spices in the sachet and frowned, "My Lady, these spices are poisonous."

The queen nodded and said, "I have been going to the small Buddhist temple to burn incense these days, and I have had a constant headache since I came back. The imperial physician has found the root cause of my illness."

She raised her hand to her head, her eyes falling on Su Jinyue, "Jun'er had just gone to the border when I was poisoned. This person had a vicious mind. I wanted to suppress this matter and investigate it myself."

"But now that the little princess and the virtuous concubine have been poisoned, I feel that these two things seem to have been done by the same person."

The queen's words shocked Su Jinyue's heart. Although she seemed calm on the surface, there was a storm in her heart.

"What your Majesty means is..." Su Jinyue asked tentatively, trying to get more information from the Queen.

The queen sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her eyes, "Miss Su, you are very smart. I'm sure you have already figured out such an obvious clue."

Su Jinyue frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "If I am not mistaken, someone is dissatisfied with the royal family and wants to create chaos. It may even be that a big shot in the palace is secretly manipulating it."

The Queen nodded slightly, "Yes, the person behind the scenes is acting meticulously and ruthlessly, with the goal of creating unrest in the palace and making Your Majesty anxious and worried."

Su Jinyue nodded solemnly, "I understand. I will work with General Xiao to uncover the hidden hand behind this."

The Queen nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes, "With your and Xiao Duo's assistance, I feel more at ease. However, you must be careful and do not act rashly, so as not to alert the enemy."

Su Jinyue took a deep breath and responded, "I understand, thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty."

The Queen looked at Su Jinyue and said, "Miss Su, you have always been smart and sharp, but because of this, you are also easily targeted by some people. You must be more careful."

Su Jinyue lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will act with caution."

After leaving Lingxiao Palace, Su Jinyue found Ruan Liuzheng and asked, "How are the little princess and Concubine Xian?"

"It's fine now, but the little princess is weak and needs to rest for a few more days."

Seeing that Su Jinyue's expression was not right, Ruan Liuzheng asked with concern: "Miss Su, is it the Queen who is making things difficult for you?"

"No."

Su Jinyue looked at Ruan Liuzheng, "But I asked Miss Ruan to come here because I want your help with this matter."

Ruan Liuzheng was puzzled. "Just tell me, you and I have lived and died together so many times, I have already regarded you as my own, you don't have to be polite to me."

As she said this, Su Jinyue took off the sachet from her waist and handed it to Ruan Liuzheng, "This is what the Queen gave me."

"The Queen's small Buddhist temple was poisoned. The poison was in the spices and was discovered by the Queen."

Ruan Liuzheng was holding the sachet in shock and amazement, "Then let's report this to His Majesty!"

“No!”

Su Jinyue raised her hand and grabbed Ruan Liuzheng's wrist. After looking around to see if there was anyone around, she said to her, "But I think there is something fishy about this matter, and I can't report it to His Majesty yet!"

"Why?" Ruan Liuzheng was puzzled.

Su Jinyue said, "It's normal for something to happen every day, but today something happened to the little princess, and the queen told me that someone poisoned her little Buddhist temple."

"Miss Ruan, don't you think this is a bit too coincidental?"

"Even if it's Miss Ruan, she would feel that the Queen has been plotted against, right?"

Ruan Liuzheng looked at Su Jinyue and felt a chill in her heart. "You're not saying..."
