After returning from the palace, Luo qingluan thought there would be news in three or five days. After all, it would not be too difficult for the Queen Mother's power to find out some clues. But unexpectedly, no clue was found in the past seven or eight days.

On the contrary, the situation of the little prince is becoming more and more serious. It occurs not only during the day, but also for a longer time. There is no reason at all. The Empress Dowager angrily beat the people, but it was useless, which made her anxious and fell ill.

After giving the Empress Dowager a pulse, Luo qingluan comforted: "don't think more about the Empress Dowager. If you don't be calm and have a good rest, not to mention the little prince, even your empress will be ill."

This time Nangong Qing went directly to the princess of Chu to send someone to invite Luo qingluan. Although doctor Hu had treated the queen mother, he was not at ease. In addition to Nangong Hong, he went to invite Luo qingluan into the palace.

Mrs. Wang lay haggard on the bed, shook her head and said nothing.

Seeing her own son getting worse and worse, how could she not be worried? In vain, she is still a grand empress dowager and can't even protect her own children. Hong'er is still so young that he has problems without enjoying anything. If he continues like this, he is afraid to

"Qingluan, it seems that heart disease still needs heart medicine!"

Nangong Qing sighed and was helpless: "the Empress Dowager is like this. I'm afraid she won't get up if the problem of the twelve younger brothers is not solved. But now she has checked for so many days, but she doesn't have a clue at all. That's so good!"

Luo qingluan didn't speak. She was looking at the investigation manual in recent days, which recorded the people and things investigated in detail. Basically, the whole harem and the daily work of relevant personnel in recent days were recorded on it.

While watching, Luo qingluan was meditating.

This investigation record doesn't seem special. For example, the life records of a concubine of Nangong Qing, including her close maid in law, eunuchs around her, and so on, are clearly written about what to do and eat these days. Even what the concubine wore, said and bathed several times every day were recorded.

I'm afraid even if it's close surveillance, it's so close.

"It seems that we really need to take a strong dose of medicine." Luo qingluan looked at the manual and thought. Although she has no evidence to prove anything, she has a feeling that the person she is looking for is only afraid of being among these people. Otherwise, it has something to do with these people, but it has not been found yet.

As soon as his eyes lit up, Nangong Qing immediately said, "Princess Chu has a way?"

"There's no way. I have to try."

After thinking for a moment, Luo qingluan glanced at the people around him. Nangong Qing immediately understood: "go down."

The palace maids and eunuchs rushed out. When only Luo qingluan, Nangong Qing and Empress Dowager Wang were left in the bedroom, Luo qingluan whispered her way: "go and do it as soon as possible, but remember, the matter of finding a replacement for the little prince must not be leaked, but the rest should be publicized so that everyone knows. As for whether it is useful, just try."

……

The most desolate and dilapidated place in the harem is naturally the cold palace. Although the word cold palace has never been written in writing, the people in the palace know it well. Since the master who lived in the remnant Moon Palace went in, it has become synonymous with the cold palace. Even the passing palace maids and eunuchs avoided it from a distance for fear of bad luck.

The sound of wooden fish is deep in the ear, showing peace and quiet. A woman in plain Palace Dress lowered her head and eyebrows, quietly fiddling with the Buddha beads in her hand, as if everything outside had nothing to do with her.

A burst of eager footsteps broke the peace around. The woman frowned and seemed unhappy, but then she relaxed again, as if she hadn't heard anything. She still beat the wooden fish in front of her rhythmically, and the Buddha beads slipped and made a crisp snap.

"Imperial concubine, imperial concubine... No!"

The palace maid who broke in shouted, as eager as burning eyebrows. She shouted as soon as she entered the door.

After the sound of wooden fish, the woman finally looked up and looked at her blandly: "pruning, I said many times, don't make a noise in the clean and repaired place. Why can't you remember? Even if the sky collapses, what's the use of being so anxious?"

"Imperial concubine, something really happened..."

Before she finished cutting the branches, the lady's face sank, and her peaceful expression disappeared. She suddenly took on a strong anger: "shut up! If you do this again, nothing will be found before you succeed. It doesn't matter if you die. Do you want to trouble the palace?"

The gloomy words showed a strong killing opportunity, and the pruning shocked the whole body. Then it was reflected that the master in front of him was not seen in the eyes of outsiders. The princess who had been silent and never went out of the palace to worship the Buddha and repent all day. Only she knew what terrible things the master had done secretly in order to revenge

"Yes, madam, the maidservant is wrong." Pruning hurriedly knelt.

In the dead air, the pressure is like a mountain leaning, and the pressure is too oppressive to speak. Pruning shivered and her body was getting colder and colder. She knew very well that even if the princess was like a sinner in the cold palace, she would still be the master after all. If she wants to kill herself, she can't resist at all.

"Well, tell me what happened." Finally, the woman spoke and broke the silence.

Like a drowning man who was suffocating, he finally caught a piece of wood, cut branches and almost collapsed to the ground. She quickly stabilized herself, Take a deep breath: "yes, go back to the imperial concubine. There was an accident in the Kongming hall. The maid inquired that Princess Chu came again. She came to diagnose the Empress Dowager. She didn't know what Princess Chu said. His majesty suddenly ordered that he found a trace on the little prince and asked the forbidden army to search the imperial palace. I'm afraid she will find the Wanyue hall soon."

She raised her head and looked flustered: "princess, if those things are searched, isn't it..."

With a cold look in her eyes, the woman finally became positive: "you said that Princess Chu has found out the problem of the little prince?"

"This..."

Pruning knelt and kowtowed: "I'm not sure, but it seems like this after listening to the people in the Kongming hall. If not, how could your majesty directly order the forbidden army to search the back palace? I'm afraid you've guessed something, princess, what can you do?"

She didn't want to die, but there were some things that forced her to do. Now she was about to be exposed. She was really afraid that she wouldn't live long. But what about a cold palace maid like her?

The woman was cold and overcast. She didn't speak for a long time. She kept her head down and knelt all the time. She didn't dare to make a little noise.

Suddenly, the woman opened her mouth and laughed like a ghost: "hehe... Nangong Qing, do you think you can find it by sending some forbidden troops? And Luo qingluan, it's bad for me every time. If it weren't for you, I would be here?"

"Pruning..."

Pruning was shocked: "what's the order of the imperial concubine?"

"Go ahead, burn all those things, clean them up and leave nothing."

"Yes, princess." At last, I was relieved. I cut the branches and quickly got up: "I'll do it now." It's better to burn it. Without those poisonous things, she won't be afraid to be found all day. Even if Princess Chu is smart, she can't help as long as there is no evidence.

If she doesn't say it, the imperial concubine will not say it. No one will find out what the problem of the little prince is.

Just as the pruning was about to leave, the woman spoke again: "by the way, after cleaning, you go to the front and see what clues they found. If you have any news, come back and report to me immediately."

"Yes, Princess!"

Since Beiyue was incorporated into the Western Chu Dynasty, the emperor of the Western Chu Dynasty has granted amnesty to the world and rewarded them on merit. Even the concubines in Shui'an have been granted Jin titles one by one. Once Li Baolin was promoted to a concubine, and Wu Cainv, Wen Caicai NV and sun Cainv were promoted to Xiurong. Everyone was happy except Zhuang Cainv, who died shortly after entering the palace.

But the Shuian palace was too big. Although the four people wanted to live in one palace alone for various reasons, they were rejected by the emperor of Western Chu. Even the imperial concubine is not. Naturally, she has no right to be alone in the palace. It's better to live in Shui'an palace honestly. There are many people and it's lively.

There are a lot of rewards. Li Bin and others are also dressed up beautifully. Although your majesty is lucky that they have only a few times, they are all young and take their time. Moreover, their majesty's injury is just right, and they dare not ask for more. Otherwise, let alone the empress dowager, they will come to no good end if the Empress Dowager gives a good order.

But today, people in Shuian Palace are already terrified.

Everyone has heard that someone in the harem is bold and intends to murder the twelve princes. The Empress Dowager has been seriously ill. His majesty Longyan is very angry and decides to investigate thoroughly. Once the evidence is found, it will be a capital crime!

The first one to search was Li Bin's residence and Haitang residence.

The courtyard has been surrounded by curious palace people. The forbidden army searched everywhere one by one and turned the Begonia house into a mess. Li Bin not only dared not get angry, but could only kneel at the door and wait for the search results.

"I said it would be fine if we didn't search it out. If so, it's useless for anyone to plead!" Nangong Qing's face was iron green, and he stared at Li Bin, who knelt in front of him and dared not go out: "you'd better pray that it's not you, otherwise..."

The palace people trembled with fear, and the onlookers prayed secretly. If it was really done by Li Bin, it's best to search it quickly, but don't involve yourself. All eyes were fixed on the small figure in front. I saw the nursing mother holding the twelve princes. The latter looked naive and lovely, and a pair of big black eyes looked around. It was very novel.

Luo qingluan stood aside and seriously asked the little prince, "hong'er, look at those things here. Do you like them?"

As soon as the nurse heard this, she quickly put down the little prince. Nangong Hong was held for a long time. Finally, she was able to go down to the ground. Suddenly, she staggered up. The nursing mother protected him for fear that he might fall, but she said: "little prince, look, what do you like in this palace? Take whatever you like, good..."

Looking at everything in front of me, some palace people who heard of it whispered.

"See, this is Princess Chu's way. I heard that the little prince was poisoned by someone's dark hand. But Princess Chu has found a way. As long as the little prince feels something wrong and finds something, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this thing."
