Moreover, this grassy smell is difficult to detect unless you are very familiar with the smell of motherwort.
"Maybe you can find out what's on me that's contaminated with motherwort?" There was a hint of chill in her voice.
"I suggest that Concubine change out of her palace attire."
Li Jing's eyes revealed concern. There were so many calculations in the palace. She would experience more calculations in the future. This was only in the East Palace.
Miaoxia was shocked, because she was responsible for her master's clothes. Her face turned pale instantly and she hurried forward.
"Master, I will help you to enter the bedroom. Please change out of your palace dress quickly. Fortunately, you just put it on."
There was a hint of anxiety in her voice.
If the master wears this palace dress to attend His Highness' birthday banquet, the royal heir will definitely be injured in a few hours!
Su Jingyao nodded slightly and walked into the bedroom without saying a word.
Su Jingyao went into the bedroom and changed into her usual dress.
Miaoxia went to the Imperial Household Department to get this palace dress a few days ago. She was pregnant and could not wear any of her previous palace dresses.
After Su Jingyao changed her clothes and went out, Li Jing walked around her and sniffed again, "Concubine, there is indeed no smell of motherwort now."
"Miaoxia, take the palace dress to Doctor Jin for a look." Su Jingyao ordered.
Miaoxia pushed the palace dress hanging on the hanger out of the bedroom, and Li Jing walked forward to take a closer look.
His brows furrowed slightly and his expression became very serious.
"Concubine, this palace dress does smell like motherwort, and it seems to be caused by needlework?"
Li Jing said slowly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Su Jingyao slowly paced around the palace dress, her eyes carefully examining every detail of the dress, not missing any suspicious spots.
On the surface, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this palace dress.
If it was a problem with the needle and thread, then when the Imperial Household Department presented it, the silk thread used to sew this palace dress had been soaked in motherwort juice?
Su Jingyao pondered secretly, with a thoughtful look on her face.
Miaoxia also stepped forward, got close to the palace dress, and carefully examined the intricate and delicate embroidery patterns on it.
Her eyes were fixed on the embroidery pattern without blinking, for fear of missing any details.
Suddenly, her brows frowned and an expression of surprise appeared on her face.
"Master, these stitches seem different." There was a hint of doubt in Miaoxia's voice.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingyao walked forward, raised her hand and gently stroked the lines, with a solemn expression on her face.
It looked as if someone had re-embroidered it with new thread over the original stitches.
If that is the case, then there is a traitor in her Xiyan Palace!
A hint of coldness flashed across Su Jingyao's eyes for a moment, but her face remained calm.
He sat back on the couch, placed the soft pillow under his waist, half lying down, his body leaning back slightly, looking a little lazy.
"Miaoxia, call in the palace maids who are good at embroidery. I want to know who can do such a thing under my nose."
Her eyes were sharp when she spoke, making people afraid to approach her easily.
Miaoxia thought about it and realized that the only ones who were good at embroidery in Xiyan Palace were Ru'er and Meng'er.
She brought them both in.
"This servant pays respects to the concubine."
Ru'er and Meng'er saluted, their voices filled with respect and nervousness.
"Get up. I asked you to come in because Miaoxia said that you are good at embroidery. I want to embroider a purse for His Highness myself, but it's a pity that I'm pregnant and it's not convenient. Today I want to see your embroidery skills."
Su Jingyao's voice was calm and gentle as she continued, "Whoever of you embroiders best will embroider a purse for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Miaoxia, take two embroidered handkerchiefs and let them embroider clouds. Let's see their skills."
After Su Jingyao gave the order, her gaze fell on Ru'er and Meng'er, her eyes full of kind expectations.
When Ru'er and Meng'er heard this, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
This is a purse embroidered for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness likes it, there will be a lot of rewards, and I can even show my face in front of His Royal Highness!
The two of them were secretly delighted and looked forward to this rare opportunity.
The two took the embroidery pattern prepared by Miaoxia, and with trembling hands, they began to sew carefully stitch by stitch.
They were fully focused, their fingers dancing flexibly, as if they were weaving a beautiful dream.
A quarter of an hour later, Miaoxia took over the embroidery patterns from the two people, carefully examined their stitches, and then looked at the final knotting method.
"Ru'er, your embroidery pattern is great, please keep it. Meng'er still needs to practice her needlework skills, so please go out." Miaoxia said with a hint of majesty in her voice.
Meng'er pursed her lips, a hint of loss and unwillingness flashed in her eyes, and she bit her lips lightly.
She sighed in her heart that her embroidery skills were inferior to Ru'er's, and such a good opportunity was lost.
She bowed slowly and then quietly left the hall.
Ruer's mouth corners slightly raised, a smile appeared on her face, and her heart was filled with pride and pride.
She could actually embroider a purse for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her!
This would greatly enhance her status among the maids in the Eastern Palace.
When Su Jingyao saw Miaoxia leaving Ru'er behind, she understood everything.
The palace maid named Ru'er must have tied the knots in the same way as the embroidery on the palace costumes. Although the embroidery patterns of the palace costumes were copied from the original embroidery patterns, each person's knotting method might be different.
It just so happened that Ru'er and Meng'er, Ru'er's knotting method matched the one on the palace dress.
While Ru'er was immersed in happiness, Su Jingyao's indifferent eyes suddenly became sharp and swept towards her like a sword.
"Did you embroider the newly added embroidery on this palace dress?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the palace dress beside him.
Ru'er shuddered and her body instantly stiffened, as if she had been cast under a spell.
But she quickly suppressed her nervousness and knelt on her knees, "Master, I don't know what you are talking about?"
She lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.
Su Jingyao only needed her body's reaction in that instant to confirm her guess.
Obviously, the mouse was caught correctly.
