Chapter 394 How did you know?
Unfortunately, she was locked up inside and couldn't get out. She could only glare at Jiang Xinyue through the wooden fence: "Even if you are the empress, you must have evidence for everything. You have no evidence at all, and you locked me up. Do you think you have the final say in the harem of the Emperor of Dayan?"
Jiang Xinyue looked at her like a fool: "Someone exposed that you poisoned Concubine Liang, and a palace maid saw your maid Hui Yuan and Huang Yanyu in contact. What does this have to do with me? I am just doing my job according to the rules and want to give Concubine Liang justice. Why do you push everything onto me?"
The palace maid who saw Hui Yuan and Huang Yanyu passing by was not Jiang Xinyue's person, but a servant in Concubine Liang's palace.
Huang Yanyu was a new concubine who was asked by Concubine Liang to be a maid. If she was Jiang Xinyue's, she would have been offered to the emperor long ago. Why would she be a maid?
Therefore, these people exposed her, and she had nothing to do with Jiang Xinyue.
"Empress, we found something in the side hall of Yanqing Palace."
The guards of the Mirror Department presented the paper package they found. Jiang Xinyue did not rush to take it, but said to the Mirror Department: "In order to prevent our Concubine Ru from throwing all the dirty water on me, this thing should not pass through my hands. Mirror Lin serves the emperor, so let Mirror Lin see if I have wronged you?"
"Gulp!"
Xi Que clearly heard the sound of Mirror Lin swallowing his saliva, and then the guard handed him an oil paper package.
Mirror Lin opened the paper package, dipped a little powder with his finger, sniffed it under his nose, and then looked at Concubine Ru in shock.
This idiot, why did she leave the key evidence in the room for people to check?
Or did she think that everyone in the Suspense Department was stupid and couldn't find anything on her?
Concubine Ru frowned, not understanding why Lin Zhangjing looked at her like that.
"Someone, go and report to the emperor that the person who poisoned Concubine Liang has been found. How should the emperor deal with her?"
After all, Concubine Ru is the emperor's concubine, and the Suspense Department does not have the right to deal with her privately.
But in fact, the Empress is here, and it is the Empress who has the final say on how to deal with her.
Lin Zhangjing is very smart. In order to prevent Concubine Ru from making random accusations, he asked his subordinates to ask the emperor for instructions.
Shun'an Palace -
The second princess' heart was pounding, and she held the hand of Concubine Shu: "We... we won't be discovered like this, right?"
Concubine Shu's face was serious: "Don't worry, we did it so secretly, nothing will happen."
"I was afraid that the people from the Suspense Department couldn't find it, so I put a few packages under Concubine Ru's bed and in the closet."
Concubine Shu nodded: "Well done, that bitch Concubine Ru, she actually dared to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she thought she had done it secretly, and put all the blame on Zhang Wanrong and it would be over! Humph! This time she is in the Suspense Department, the Empress will make her lose a layer of skin."
The second princess asked curiously: "But even my father didn't find out that it was Concubine Ru who caused the Crown Prince's brother to have allergies, how did my mother know?"
"We didn't know at first..."
But later, the Queen Mother said that the walnut oil for the Crown Prince was delivered to the palace from the Jiang family's shop.
After the Crown Prince turned one year old, the Queen Mother ordered the kitchen and the small kitchen to make complementary food for him. There was no walnut oil in the palace, and the ones that the Crown Prince wanted to use were sent by the Queen Mother herself to the Jiang family, who asked the trusted Jiang family to go to Jiangcheng, where walnuts are produced in abundance, to select the best quality walnuts, press them into walnut oil, and then transport them back from Jiangcheng.
Due to seasonal reasons, the Jiang family was worried that there would not be enough walnuts, so they transported two large carriages of walnut oil back to Beijing.
From picking to shelling, from pressing to canning to transportation, the Jiang family escorted the entire process, leaving no chance for others to interfere.
How long would it take for Zhang Wanrong and that eunuch to secretly replace all the walnut oil with peanut oil?
In addition, the expenditure and income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were recorded, and the warehouse was an important place of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which could not be entered without the order of the chief eunuch.
They had to bring in peanut oil from outside for replacement. In a short period of time... or in other words... it was impossible for one person to replace so much oil quietly.
Therefore, the Empress said that it was not only Zhang Wanrong who harmed the prince, but also an invisible big hand pushing everything behind the scenes.
The Emperor also said that this matter should not be made public, and it would be better to let the people behind the scenes think that she was safe first, and then start a secret investigation after she relaxed her vigilance.
Originally, the emperor wanted to start with the eunuchs who helped Zhang Wanrong succeed, but who knew that those eunuchs were all dead men, and they bit their tongues and committed suicide before they were sent to the Suspension Mirror Department.
This also further confirmed that Zhang Wanrong was just a pawn.
The emperor did not use the Suspension Mirror Department to conduct a secret investigation, but instead asked the Yulin Army, who were in charge of night patrol, to ask his most trusted guards to arrange their confidants to search the houses of those eunuchs.
Finally, on a coat that one of the eunuchs had not had time to burn, the national flower of Goguryeo, the Wuji flower, was found.
Moreover, below the Wuji flower, a person's name was embroidered in Goguryeo characters.
After finding a specialist to translate it, they found out that the characters actually read - Shen Hanping.
Jiang Xinyue guessed that it should be the real name of the eunuch who committed suicide.
The surname Shen was very rare in the Great Yan Dynasty, but very common in Goguryeo, so they suspected that the real mastermind behind the prince's allergy was Concubine Ru.
The eldest princess was at Concubine Liang's bedside, listening to their conversation. She couldn't believe that so many things had happened in less than half a month since she got married.
"Cough cough cough..."
Concubine Liang, who was half leaning on the bed, coughed a few times with difficulty, and her chest ached.
She took a few deep breaths: "This yellow smoke, hiss... it hurts me to death... her mother's legs..."
A few days ago, Concubine Liang had already woken up. It was at that time that Jiang Xinyue asked for Concubine Liang's consent and took advantage of this opportunity to catch Concubine Ru. The
eldest princess quickly got up and brought a cup of hot tea to Concubine Liang: "Mother, calm down. The Queen has gone to the Suspension Mirror Department. She will definitely give you justice." Concubine
Liang even had difficulty opening her eyes. Her throat felt like it was cut by a knife. She lowered her head and drank a sip of hot water. The eldest princess quickly wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
Noble Ye also took the tea from the eldest princess and put it on the table: "The Queen is still in the Suspension Mirror Department, and the people from the Suspension Mirror Department have also found the poison from Concubine Ru's palace. Concubine Ru can't escape, and Huang Yanyu can't escape either."
It's just that Concubine Ru's crime is not murdering the heir to the throne, but poisoning a concubine, which is a bit of a pity.
Although Concubine Liang's life is valuable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is relatively more valuable.
If Concubine Ru is found guilty of murdering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor will definitely throw Concubine Ru's body back to Goguryeo.
