Being made such a fuss by Luo Qingyan, Yunshang fell asleep again until the next morning before waking up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, and there was no one beside him.

Yun Chang sat up, rubbed her somewhat sore waist, secretly scolded Luo a few words, and then raised her voice to call someone in.

After getting up, washing and dressing, and having breakfast, Yun Shang secretly calculated how much she had to do.

When I woke up yesterday, I was interrupted by Luo Qingyan, but nothing was done.

Earlier at the border, I received news that Chengye was shocked, but I don't know if such a long time has passed, who did it and what happened.

He also said that the queen mother was unconscious and did not know how the situation is now.

And that Young Master Ming Hong, I have to find some time to meet him.

Yun Chang sighed, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, things piled up into a mountain, and she could only do one by one.

Yun Shang stood up and called Pei Lan and Hua'er to follow to the Empress Dowager's palace.

"I received news at the border before that the empress dowager was poisoned and unconscious. How is the situation now?"

Pei Lan hurriedly lowered her voice and said: "The empress dowager has already recovered from the poison, but because of the poisoning, I'm afraid it will still cause some damage to her body. She has been staying in the palace to recuperate during this period. The empress dowager is not allowed to handle the general affairs of the harem, and other concubines and concubines are not allowed to visit except your majesty and his highness the crown prince."

Yun Shang hummed, and asked again: "The dark guard was very vague when he reported it. He only said that he was poisoned, but he didn't say whether it was the poison from the heat load. Tell me what's going on? Have you found the person who poisoned you?"

"The maidservant only heard about it. I heard that the booklets were sent to the Empress Dowager's Palace that day. The Empress Dowager took a nap in the palace after lunch, but she didn't wake up until dinner. At first, the Empress Dowager thought it was The Empress Dowager was tired, so she slept for a while, and then went to wake the Empress Dowager to eat, but she couldn't wake up, so she hurriedly passed the news to the imperial physician, who came and said that she had been poisoned."

"The Empress Dowager and His Majesty were furious, ordered the imperial physician to do their best to treat them, and immediately sealed off the Empress Dowager's Palace, carefully checking where the Empress Dowager was poisoned."

"The first thing I suspected was the lunch I had at noon and the books that the Empress Dowager disposed of in the morning. It's just that the poisoning was discovered too late, the lunch had already been removed, and even the cups, dishes and dishes had been washed clean. The booklets that have been disposed of have already been distributed, so it is very difficult to check."

"Later, the Supreme Emperor said that every time the Empress Dowager eats a meal, the palace people in the palace will carefully test for poisons, and the cups, dishes and plates used are all inlaid with silver ornaments, and the chopsticks are also made of pure silver. It's really not easy to poison inside, so I focused on the suspects on the books that were disposed of in the morning."

"Your Majesty ordered all the palaces to put away all the booklets written by the Empress Dowager this morning..."

When Yun Shang heard this, she couldn't help but uttered: "The booklets have been distributed for half a day, even if they are put away, what can we find?"

"Yes." Pei Lan nodded, "It's just that it would be good if some clues can be found, so the guards put away all the books again, and they really found something."

"Um?"

"The person who poisoned the book should be cautious and careful, and spread the poison evenly on the paper inside the booklet. , and ensured that the Empress Dowager was poisoned. After the booklet was distributed, the man must have wanted to destroy the traces, and carefully wiped the poison on the pages of the book."

"It's just because of this that some traces are left." Pei Lan glanced at Yun Shang, and continued: "The poison should be a very fine powder. Wipe the wet handkerchief again."

Yun Chang suddenly understood: "After all, there are words on it, even if the handkerchief is wrung dry, it is a wet handkerchief after all, and some traces will be left after all."

"Yes." Perrin nodded, "The words on the booklet are a little smudged. Although it's not obvious, it's still easy to distinguish when compared with the handwriting on other books."

Yun Chang responded, and then asked again: "Where are you from?"

"It's the library." Perrin replied in a low voice.

"The library?" Yun Chang became more and more surprised: "There should be very few booklets delivered over there, right? There are very few things. By the way, who is in charge of the library? Maybe it is very rare The people who run the library, I don’t even remember who their manager is.”

"There are two stewards in the library, one is a court lady surnamed Wang, and the other is a servant surnamed Zhou. This booklet was sent by the steward Wang."

Yun Chang nodded, and carefully searched for the memory of the library steward in her mind, but it really reminded her of something.

When Luo Qingyan pretended to be poisoned before, in order to see who was watching Weiyang Palace, she asked the hidden guard to take the opportunity to search all places in the palace that could overlook Weiyang Palace at night.

That night, Yunshang remembered that the dark guards found two people.

One is from the dormitory bureau, and the other is the palace cleaner in the library.

What did the palace man say at that time

Said that he usually likes to read books, and occasionally he will secretly look at the books in the library when there is no one in the library. I saw a book during the day, it was so beautiful, I couldn’t stop it, I just saw the key point during the curfew, I really couldn’t bear to give it up, so I took the book and quietly went to the Mingyue Tower next to the library where the lanterns were lit. superior.

The palace man also said that he had done this kind of thing before, and the steward in the library also knew it, and the steward even reprimanded him. Later, the steward reprimanded him too many times, and seeing that he didn't cause any trouble, Then let him go.

Later, she seemed to have sent someone to inquire about the steward of the library, and the steward indeed said that the man was obsessed with books and would often do such things...

Yun Shang squinted her eyes, but she didn't know who the steward was that the palace servants sent to inquire that day.

But judging from today's events, I'm afraid most of them are the palace maid surnamed Wang.

Yun Chang slightly brushed her hair at the sideburns, but the steward Wang was targeting Hua Ling, otherwise, she would not have sent the brochure sooner or later, why did she send it when she left and Hua Ling handled political affairs on her behalf? , and also poisoned

Yun Chang thought, but her footsteps stopped.

That's not necessarily the case, the steward Wang may not have poisoned her...
