Chapter 337

"The Chief Secretary of Shen Xing once married a principal wife many years ago. They were very affectionate. Later, the principal wife was pregnant. But just before she was about to give birth, the chief secretary went into the palace to do business. A empress in the back palace made trouble for him and stopped him from leaving the palace. When the chief secretary came back from the palace, the principal wife had difficulty giving birth and died. He didn't even have the last face of his wife and children See, since then, his character has become very strange.

Later, there was another case in the palace. As long as he handled it, he must be selfless and never say anything. Moreover, if the people in the back palace accidentally fell into his hands, they could not leave the punishment division alive. But his majesty attached great importance to him, so for a period of time, people in the back palace were in danger and no one dared to offend him. "

When ye Xiyue heard the speech, her eyebrows gathered deeper and deeper.

"Why did the empress of the back palace make trouble for him and stop him from leaving the palace?"

Duke Liu shook his head. At that time, he was still a little eunuch and couldn't touch those noble people at all.

These words are also hearsay, so he doesn't know what happened. He only knows a general idea, but he doesn't even know the true or false.

That's more appetizing than not!

Ye Xiyue looked at Grandpa Liu with a helpless face.

"Forget it, since he is selfless, let him check first to see what he can find out."

Since she can be the leader of the punishment department, she must have two brushes. Some things are inconvenient for her to check. Maybe the leader can find more and dig deeper!

"Madam, shall we go back to the Palace first?"

"Go back."

Ye Xiyue waved her hand. In fact, the palace is very boring. She lives in imperial concubines. She is not interested in dealing with them. The best way is to stay in her own side hall.

She happened to study acupuncture and moxibustion. Later, she injected needles for the emperor. There are many traditional Chinese medicines in the palace. She can also make more useful pills by the way.

The two men said and went to the side hall. Guard Jin always followed them with a sword. There was no more words, but it was very reliable!

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the side hall. As soon as they entered, they saw the third prince sitting in the yard waiting.

"Madam, you're back. I've been waiting for you for a while."

The third prince looked much better than a few days ago, and the irritable color between his eyebrows and eyes had slowly dispersed. He looked no different from ordinary people.

Ye Xiyue glanced at him and didn't speak, but the expression seemed to say, why are you here again.

In this regard, the third prince was not angry, but stretched out his hand and pointed to a paper bag on the stone table in front of him.

"It's a matter of being entrusted to be loyal to others. Someone asked me to bring it into the palace and give it to my wife."

Ye Xiyue stepped forward and sat down directly opposite the third prince. She stretched out her hand to take the paper bag in front of her and untied the hemp rope tied on it.

There are some preserved fruits, Elaeagnus angustifolia and small snacks in the paper bag. They smell a faint sweet smell and look delicious.

Without thinking, she picked up an Elaeagnus angustifolia and stuffed it into her mouth.

Seeing this, the third prince was also slightly surprised and said, "madam, did you eat without looking? Do you believe in the palace too much, or..."

Ye Xiyue slowly bit the really sweet and delicious Elaeagnus angustifolia and looked up at the third prince. The expression was very indifferent.

"Madam, you don't have to look at the palace like this. It's a fool of the palace! Madam's medical skills are so clever, and her detoxification is even more powerful. If these things are poisoned, how can they hide from her eyes? It's a joke of the palace!"

"Your Highness doesn't have to say that. I just guessed who sent it. It's impossible for him to poison me when he sent me something."

The third prince picked up his eyebrows when he heard the speech, "Madam guessed?"

"Well, your highness is very close to him? How has he been? He looks good. He seems to be taller and more stable than before."

When she saw Ye Wei last night, ye Xiyue recognized him at a glance, but she didn't point out his identity on the spot.

She thought Ye Wei would say something to her since he came to the palace to find her. Unexpectedly, he left.

From his performance last night, he was really mature and grew up a lot. It is estimated that the prime minister's house is not peaceful during this time!

"I really don't know how he used to be. I didn't know him as early as my wife. But now he really looks like a master. Even in front of Prime Minister Ye, his momentum doesn't drop at all! I don't know if my wife knows that he is a master in prime minister Ye's house nearby!"

Ye Xiyue shook her head directly.

Although she had heard some before, ye Wei was in charge of the family, which she had never thought of before.

For one thing, ye Zhiyuan is a crafty man. Even if ye ChuChu and Chu Yun are exposed, it is impossible to hit him so hard that he should not even be at home.

Second, ye Wei has no foundation at all in the prime minister's house. He is too young. It's impossible to take charge of the whole prime minister's house at once!

"Ha, in fact, I didn't expect it at the beginning, but his ability is obvious to all. Even Prime Minister Ye praised him."

The third prince said, probably seeing that ye Xiyue had been eating Elaeagnus angustifolia, his hand subconsciously stretched out to the paper bag.

But before he met the Elaeagnus angustifolia, he was knocked on the back of his hand by Ye Xiyue.

"Your Highness is taking medicine and avoiding sugar!"

"Madam, I've never heard of taking medicine to avoid these? If some medicine is bitter, can't you take a preserved fruit pad?"

Ye Xiyue bit on the date, looked at him and snorted, "am I a doctor, or is your highness a doctor? If your highness really wants to eat so much, I won't stop it. Anyway, it's your highness who suffers behind!"

I can't tell the truth of this. The third prince can only have a bitter face. Looking at the sweet and delicious Elaeagnus angustifolia, he doesn't dare to eat it.

"By the way, madam, I heard that you made a hot pot last night. It's delicious. I ate lunch here. How about we eat hot pot?"

Ye Xiyue didn't expect to have a hot pot last night. Even the third prince knew it so soon.

But the three princes in front of him are really a eater. He knows he wants to eat!

"Don't be spicy during taking medicine. The hot pot is spicy. Your highness, you'd better bear it again."

A word directly broke the way for the third prince to eat. His whole face collapsed in an instant. Looking at Ye Xiyue, "madam, this is really not aimed at this palace?"

This sentence, ye Xiyue simply didn't bother to reply to him.

Seeing that she didn't respond, the third prince suddenly stretched out his hand, took out a sachet from his arms and put it on the stone table.

"Madam, can you take a look at this sachet for the palace?"

As soon as the sachet was taken out, ye Xiyue looked at it with low eyes.

There was a faint smell of flowers at the tip of her nose. Although it was different from the smell of flowers in the little maid's room and the palm Secretary of yuzhenfang, ye Xiyue felt that these smells might come from the same place or the same person.

She reached out and picked up the sachet, put it under her nose, got close and smelled it carefully.

"Where did your highness get this sachet?"

The third prince looked at her, his eyes were very deep, but his voice was very weak.

"There is a confidant in the palace who has never used these things before, but she seems to be fascinated in recent days. This sachet smells good, but the degree of her obsession surprised the palace. She was mild in nature. Since she took this sachet, she has become hot and publicized, as if she had changed a person."

Changed a person

Hearing this, ye Xiyue smelled the smell of the sachet, "can you open it, your highness?"

"Of course. Since the sachet was brought to the palace, it was at the disposal of his wife."

As soon as the third prince's voice fell, ye Xiyue opened the sachet.

As soon as the sachet was opened, the faint smell of flowers suddenly became rich.

But what is inside is not dried flowers, but some fine, soft, powdery things that look a little like fragrant gray, but the color is dark brown.

"What is this!"

The third prince looked at the pile of dark brown dust and frowned fiercely. Obviously, he didn't expect that such a thing would be contained in the sachet.

"Fragrant powder."

Ye Xiyue replied faintly, pulled out a hairpin from her head, rolled it directly in the pile of ash and paved it completely on the table, but she didn't see anything special.

"Your Highness, where is your confidante now?"

"Zuixiang building, she is the number one there."

The third prince didn't care, as if he didn't mind saying in front of Ye Xiyue that he had spoiled a green / building woman.

However, it's normal to think about it. After all, he was poisoned before, and the attack was like that. Fortunately, everyone can understand.

"It's a pity that I can't leave the palace. Otherwise, I'd like to go with your highness to see your confidant."

The dead maid in waiting and the leader of yuzhenfang are now being investigated by the punishment department. It's inconvenient for her to intervene any more. The clue provided by the third prince is naturally the best way to trace.

And there are three princes. Even if you really check it, you won't be afraid of any accidents.

When ye Xiyue said this, she deliberately looked up at the third prince opposite.

The third prince understood, but he hesitated.

"Madam, what's wrong with this sachet?"

"Your Highness knows that concubine Chen was poisoned yesterday, and another young maid in the palace died for no reason today. On them, I smell the fragrance similar to this sachet. I think there may be something involved. Your highness should also be suspicious, so he deliberately brought this sachet to me for me to see. Since your highness is interested, it's better to help Xiyue A favor? "

The third prince frowned deeply and never spoke for a long time.

Ye Xiyue didn't urge. After all, it was still a little risky. He would hesitate. It just seemed that he had nothing to do with the people behind the scenes!
