After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 46 Is this normal?

Jinse thought for a while, thinking that the big kitchen would be very busy right now, so he turned around and prepared to go back to Sui'an Yuan directly.

It’s okay to have a late dinner.Anyway, Chef Jiang and Little Spoon are still here, so they can't keep her fed.

Lin Shun was waiting on the way. When he saw Jinse coming, he came over in a few steps, stretched out his hand and gave her the oil paper bag in his hand.

He puffed up his cheeks and said, "This is what our Highness calls you!".

Jinse took it subconsciously: "What is this?"

Lin Shun hummed and said, "Take it back and see for yourself. Anyway, I've given you the stuff. I'm leaving!".

With that said, Lin Shun turned around and prepared to leave.

Jinse hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, wait!".

Lin Shun looked back at her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing? Is something wrong?".

Knowing that Lin Shun always looked like this to him, Jinse didn't pay attention and just asked quickly: "Um, how are you doing, Your Highness? Nothing happened today?"

Lin Shun was puzzled: "What could happen at the banquet? Our Highness is naturally fine!".

After hearing this, Jinse breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay!".

It seems that the twelfth prince himself paid more attention, so there was no accident today.

Lin Shun didn't know what Jinse was thinking, so he glanced at her sideways and asked, "Are you okay? I'll be back then!".

The two separated.

Jinse returned to the room and looked at the several well-wrapped oil paper bags in her hand.

When he opened it one by one and saw what was inside, Jinse couldn't help but laugh.

There isn't anything important in it, it's all food.

One package contained red and green fruit candies, one package contained a dozen pieces of red bean cake, and one package contained two bunches of candied haws.

Candied haws.

When this thing used to make a living outside the palace, when the season came, Jinse would often see people carrying it and selling it all over the street.

Those bunches of red candied haws make her drool every time.

But although you can buy two skewers of this thing for five copper coins outside, Jinse has never eaten it once.

Later, when she entered the palace, she no longer saw such snacks in the palace.

Therefore, Jinse is still a little obsessed with the snack of candied haws.

Now suddenly there are two strings...

Jinse was reluctant to eat it in one go. After eating one skewer happily, she carefully wrapped the other skewer.

Save a bunch to eat tomorrow. It’s winter anyway, so this won’t go bad easily.

After eating, Jinse had time to think about where the Twelve Highnesses got these.

Could it be that someone around His Highness Twelve has left the palace?
But after all, this was not an important matter. Jinse thought about it for a while and then threw it aside.

After a break, he went to the big kitchen to have some ramen and talked with Chef Jiang and Little Spoon before Jinse returned to Sui'an Yuan.

Then, wash up and rest, and then go on duty as usual the next day.

Yesterday, Laba had a day of rest, and today the emperor started to be busy again.

The matters related to supporting Linyunguan were finally finalized in the morning of that day. The materials, troops and horses were all ready, and at midnight in the morning, the army had already set off.

When everything went well, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, put down the book, turned to Jinse and told Jinse: "Make me another cup of tea, make it stronger!".

Jinse was stunned and nodded in agreement.

Not long after, Jinse brought the tea back, and after the emperor took two sips, he relaxed his brows.

There were successive banquets at noon and evening yesterday, so he drank a little more than two glasses of wine. At this moment, the emperor still felt a little stuffy in his head.

After drinking the stronger tea, the emperor felt better.

Only now did he have time to ask Jinse: "Did you have a holiday yesterday?"Jinse nodded with a smile: "Yes, the superiors have also sent out gifts."

Although there isn’t much in the Boxing Ceremony, it’s just a Laba Festival after all, so it’s just a matter of meaning.

However, Jinse is not picky, after all, she has never had this share in the past!

The emperor nodded upon hearing this.

Eunuch Yang hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty...".

The emperor glanced at him: "Why are you so flustered?".

Eunuch Yang glanced at Jinse and then said in a low voice: "The next person came to report that Luhe was found dead this morning and died in the palace prison."

Lu He is dead?

Jinse looked at Eunuch Yang in surprise, and suddenly remembered the conversation she heard while passing by the Royal Garden yesterday.

I couldn't help but shudder for a moment.

The emperor frowned and asked in a deep voice: "How did you die?".

Eunuch Yang lowered his head and replied: "The people below have tested it and said that he died of poisoning. It was snake venom!"

The emperor immediately snorted coldly and said with an unhappy expression: "When did poison become so rampant in this palace?".

The palace is no different than other places, the control is stricter, but now poisonous substances appear one after another in the palace? ".

Is this normal?

Eunuch Yang immediately knelt down and said, "It's my servant who is not doing well in guarding me. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

As soon as Eunuch Yang knelt down, other people in the imperial study also hurriedly knelt down.

Jinse came to his senses in a daze and knelt down in a hurry.

The emperor glanced at Jinse, frowned for a while and waved his hand: "Okay, let's all get up!".

Eunuch Yang hurriedly thanked the emperor and stood up, looking at Jinse calmly.

The emperor told him: "Take people and continue to investigate this matter carefully, and don't let go of any clues.".

Eunuch Yang hurriedly agreed.

Then he said: "My servant interrogated Lu He last night. According to Lu He's explanation, she didn't know much about what happened before. She only said that a young chamberlain named Yoko from the Internal Affairs Office asked her to change the candle in the palace lantern. lamp……".

As he spoke, Eunuch Yang glanced at Jinse.

"Later, Lu He was afraid that something might happen, so he asked Miss Jinse to take his place, and the palace lantern that had been replaced by a candle lantern was also given to Miss Jinse."

Jinse glanced at Eunuch Yang in surprise.

In other words, there was something wrong with the palace lantern she was carrying that day?

But before that, she had never thought of this at all.

The emperor was not surprised and only asked Eunuch Yang: "Has the chamberlain named Yoko been interrogated?"

"I went to the House of Internal Affairs early in the morning, but the steward of the House of Internal Affairs said that the man named Yoko took leave of absence earlier and left the palace, and he lost contact with her after that."

Eunuch Yang sighed. He finally found two clues, but the clues were cut off in half.

The emperor's eyes were heavy, and he said after a while: "Continue to investigate, I want to see how many people will be involved in this matter in the end!".

Eunuch Yang hurriedly agreed.

It's just that... it's not that easy to investigate. After all, those involved may have been silenced, and further investigation would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

At the same time, Marquis Yun, who had already led his troops, knew that the war at Linyun Pass was urgent.

Therefore, he did not dare to delay along the way. He traveled day and night and arrived at Linyunguan in only more than ten days.

During this period, Linyunguan battle reports were delivered every two days, and the emperor had been frowning for the past few days because of the situation at Linyunguan.
