Honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle, blooms white at first and then turns yellow. It is also known as honeysuckle in the folk.

The vine blooms in spring and has a very long flowering period, and the flowers can still be seen until early autumn.

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

How can the tiny honeysuckle flower compare with the gorgeous peony and the bright and colorful peony?

Jiang Si's question was strange, and the concubines looked at each other in confusion.

The Princess of Yan specifically asked where in the palace the vines were planted. What did this mean?

"Seventh wife, you asked about the Yanyan vine. Is it related to today's incident?" Emperor Jingming asked slowly.

Jiang Si said calmly: "My daughter-in-law is not sure, I'm just asking first."

Perhaps it was because Jiang Si cured Princess Fuqing's eyes, and because the method he used to make the flower buds bloom showed too much magic, although Emperor Jingming couldn't think of how the inconspicuous vine could be related to the death of the fifteenth princess, he showed great patience: "Did everyone hear the question of the Princess of Yan?"

Jiang Si was asking about the people in the palace, including Princess Rongyang, who lived outside the palace. The concubines and princesses who had not yet left the palace suddenly felt a little uneasy, and they were increasingly unable to figure out what Jiang Si meant.

"You all have to think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out now, I will send people to find out who has the locust vine in the palace..." Emperor Jingming didn't say the rest, but it was full of warning.

He was originally celebrating his beloved daughter's recovery of sight, but his other daughter was killed. If he had not been well-educated, Emperor Jingming would have been furious.

After a suffocating silence, a maid suddenly knelt down and said timidly: "Your Majesty, I... I once saw a patch of vines by chance..."

"Where?"

When Emperor Jingming was asking questions, those who recognized the palace maid turned their eyes to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian could hardly keep her composure and asked in a sharp voice, "Pomegranate, do you know what you are saying?"

It turned out that the palace maid named Shi Liu was a maid from Yuquan Palace, and she accompanied Concubine Xian to the banquet today.

"My beloved concubine, why don't you listen to what she says?" Emperor Jingming glanced at Concubine Xian coldly with a bad tone.

Concubine Xian never expected that she would be in such trouble out of nowhere. She suppressed her anger and asked the maid, "Then tell me, where did you see the vine?"

The maid secretly gave Concubine Xian a helpless look, bowed her head and said: "I have seen the locust vine at Lady Chen's place..."

Miss Chen?

Emperor Jingming was a little confused.

The Queen thoughtfully reminded, "Concubine Chen is the biological mother of the Fourteenth Princess, and she lives in the side hall of the Yuquan Palace."

The living regulations for concubines in the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty were very strict. Only those who reached a certain rank were qualified to own an independent palace. Concubines like imperial concubines and beauties could only live with high-ranking concubines.

Upon hearing that she had seen the nightshade vine at Concubine Chen's place, Concubine Xian heaved a sigh of relief but at the same time secretly thought it was bad luck.

These low-ranking concubines lived separately from the high-ranking concubines, and which palace they lived in was allocated according to the rules. It was not that she would let a concubine live in her Yuquan Palace just because she liked her.

Although I don't know what the Princess of Yan's intention was in asking about the Yanyan vine, it is obviously not a good thing. The person she found lives in Yuquan Palace, which is really an unprovoked disaster.

"Is Concubine Chen here?" Emperor Jingming asked with a frown after finding out Concubine Chen's identity.

The palace banquet was originally hosted by the Empress, so she was naturally aware of all this. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, "Lady Chen has asked for leave."

"Take a leave?"

"The Fourteenth Princess fell ill two days ago, and Lady Chen asked for leave, saying she wanted to go and take care of the Fourteenth Princess."

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

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

"In other words, Concubine Chen and Fourteenth Emperor are not in the palace?" Emperor Jingming's brows furrowed tighter, and he felt inexplicably heavy.

The queen nodded: "That's right."

Emperor Jingming looked at Jiang Si and said, "Seventh Wife, now we know where the vines are. What do you mean by asking this?"

"My daughter-in-law has to go and see it in person."

Seeing that Jiang Si's words were becoming more and more confusing, Emperor Jingming couldn't help but glance at Yu Jin.

What does the seventh daughter-in-law mean?

"Father, I am not keeping you in suspense. It is just that this matter is of great importance and I dare not rashly affect anyone. Only by going there in person can I be sure."

Emperor Jingming sighed: "Well, ask Pan Hai to take you to Yuquan Palace."

Jiang Si knelt slightly again and said, "Please ask the Imperial Hospital Director to accompany you."

Since Jiang Si had already been allowed to go to Yuquan Palace, Emperor Jingming naturally would not make it difficult for him and nodded without hesitation.

Yu Jin originally wanted to ask Jiang Si to go with him, but the look from Jiang Si changed his mind.

The one who felt the most uncomfortable at this time was Concubine Xian.

The Princess of Yan actually wants to go to Yuquan Palace in person. What is she trying to hide?

Could it be that Lady Chen was involved in the death of the Fifteenth Princess? How is this possible!

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and Concubine Xian felt like going to the bathroom again.

But at this moment no one present could leave. Telling the emperor that they needed to go to the toilet would simply be a loss of face.

There is no other choice but to endure it.

During the waiting process, Emperor Jingming kept his eyes closed and said nothing, but people could not help but talk in low voices.

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

"Who knows? Could it be that the vine can kill people?"

This is meant to be a joke.

The few imperial doctors who stayed in the hall exchanged glances, and had some kind of terrible guess.

Of course, they dared not say a single word before Princess Yan came back.

Princess Rongyang was getting impatient waiting, and sneered at Princess Ningluo beside her: "I think the Princess of Yan is just playing tricks."

Princess Ningluo is Chen Huifu's mother. Her daughter made a big fool of herself at the plum blossom viewing banquet. After careful questioning, she felt that it was closely related to Jiang Si, so she did not agree with what Princess Rongyang said. She whispered, "It's hard to say. Although the Princess of Yan is young, she is a resourceful person..."

After a long wait, Jiang Si finally returned with a folded handkerchief in his hand.

"Seventh brother's wife, can you explain it clearly now?" Emperor Jingming asked with his eyes wide open, his remaining eyes glancing at Pan Hai.

As the most trusted eunuch of Emperor Jingming, Pan Hai had seen countless storms, but at this moment his face turned pale, obviously something had happened that shocked him extremely.

"Father, my daughter-in-law may have found the source of the poison."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"Where is it?" Emperor Jingming asked impatiently.

Jiang Siping said calmly: "It's in that patch of vines!"

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

The poison that killed the fifteenth princess in such a short time could be the locust vine? It's ridiculous!

Jiang Si bowed to Emperor Jingming without changing his expression, "Father, please let Envoy Zhang speak."
