After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 388 Finding the Poisoner

Chu Shu didn't want Ren Yuhuan to be criticized, so he quickly said, "My senior brother and I have analyzed a lot of things and want to know the reason, but we really can't figure it out."

"Have you found any clues on the assassin? I heard he committed suicide by taking poison. Have you found any clues on his body?"

In order to prevent Doctor Xie from interrupting her, Ren Yuhuan deliberately revealed that she already knew the general situation.

Chu Shu was a little hesitant, because Shen Yanzhi had instructed him not to tell anyone about this matter.

Doctor Xie did not take Shen Yanzhi's order seriously and immediately said, "There are two doubts now and we are verifying them."

"Which two?"

"Those assassins had tattoos on their bodies. Jia Bin recognized that they were the patterns of the assassin organizations in the capital. I think they were the patterns of Da'an's secret agents. Your Majesty is verifying this."

How could the spies in Da'an and the assassination organization in the capital use the same set of patterns, unless they were originally a gang?
But is this possible?

Ren Yuhuan thought about it and suddenly thought of something, but he didn't say it out loud. He just nodded and said, "If you find out the results of the investigation, you must tell me."

"Good!"

When Ren Yuhuan was about to leave, Doctor Xie jumped up and said to Ren Yuhuan with a smile: "I have found the person who poisoned the little prince last time!" When Doctor Xie came back after sending Ren Yuhuan away, Chu Shu blamed Doctor Xie a little: "Brother, didn't His Majesty forbid us to talk about it?"

Doctor Xie curled his lips and said, "I can't hide it. She has spies in the palace. It's better to tell her directly to save her trouble."

Ren Yuhuan got on the sedan chair and told Zijuan, "Go to Chuxiu Palace."

Kong Cairen was canonized as a noble lady this morning and was proudly moving things outside the Chuxiu Palace.

When Ren Yuhuan arrived early in the morning, he saw her leaning on the doorstep, giving orders in a confident manner.

All the talented people around her avoided her and did not come to see her off, which shows how popular she was.

Seeing Ren Yuhuan coming, Concubine Kong immediately smiled, twisted her waist and came over, bowing to Ren Yuhuan.

"I heard that my sister was transferred to Huayue Pavilion this time, so I came here specially to congratulate her."

When Concubine Kong heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, sister. I will definitely invite you first after I move in."

Ren Yuhuan smiled and nodded, then walked into Chuxiu Pavilion and looked around.

She seldom came to Chuxiu Pavilion. The reason she came there originally was to see Chu Shu. Now Chu Shu's face had turned red due to the wind and sand in the Western Regions, and he looked much more weathered.

Things have changed and people have changed. Time flies so fast.

Concubine Kong looked at Ren Yuhuan and said with a smile, "I heard from His Majesty that Huayue Pavilion has been empty all the time and was cleaned up for me. Have you been there, sister? Why don't you come with me to take a look?"

Zijuan could tell that she clearly just wanted to show off.

However, Ren Yuhuan actually agreed, got on the sedan chair, and went to Huayue Pavilion together.

Huayue Pavilion was originally the palace of another favorite concubine of His Majesty, Wu Qianqian. After her death, Huayue Pavilion was haunted, so it was sealed off by the Queen Mother.

Now it seems that since Wu Qianqian didn't die, the haunted thing must have been caused by them.

Huayue Pavilion is not an auspicious place after all, and Concubine Kong probably doesn’t know it.

Because Wu Qianqian was the most beautiful courtesan and the best dancer in the capital, the late emperor specially built Huayue Pavilion to look like a pavilion in order to please Wu Qianqian.

From a distance it looks like a pavilion, but up close you'll find the four-story building is exceptionally spacious.

There are no room partitions on each floor, all of which are designed with sliding paper doors. When all the paper doors are folded up, it becomes a huge hall.

When Ren Yuhuan saw the Huayue Pavilion, it was as if he saw the former emperor in the past, immersed in singing and dancing, and holding banquets every night.

When Concubine Kong saw how gorgeous this place was, her joy and excitement were all written all over her face.

"My lady, this place is so beautiful!"

Ren Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "It is very beautiful." Concubine Kong had very few things, and the three boxes that she moved in looked particularly petty when placed in front of the door.

Fortunately, His Majesty sent some more things later, so I managed to dress up.

As the two were walking inside, they heard the palace servants outside report: "Empress Qi is here!"

Concubine Kong and Ren Yu welcomed her out, and Concubine Qi came in with a big smile on her face. As she walked in, she sighed, "Isn't this Huayue Pavilion too tall and too gorgeous?"

Concubine Kong was very proud and did not try to hide her pride at all.

Who knew that Concubine Qi would add, "It's almost as good as the lobby of the largest Fan Building in the capital!"

Ren Yuhuan pursed her lips and smiled. Isn't this a satire on the fact that Concubine Kong lives in a place of entertainment?
It seems that Concubine Qi knows the history of Huayue Pavilion.

Seeing that Concubine Kong couldn't react, Concubine Qi smiled and said, "Sister is here too, what do you think of this place?"

Ren Yuhuan naturally praised her with words.

Concubine Qi nodded, but immediately shook her head: "If you let me live here, I don't want to."

Concubine Kong immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty will naturally live in a better palace. How can we compare with you, Your Majesty?"

When Concubine Qi heard this, she knew that Concubine Kong was trying to undermine Chanyue Palace.

Yes, the palace of Chanyue Palace is not big, but it can be said to be relatively small. It just has a garden, so it looks quite big overall.

Not only can it not be compared with Yikun Palace, but now it seems that it is not as good as Huayue Pavilion.

Concubine Qi laughed and said, "This place is so big, and I feel scared living here alone!"

When Concubine Kong heard this, she immediately hit back, "Your Majesty is the supreme ruler. With him to suppress it, what strange creatures dare to invade? Don't worry, sister. I'm not afraid."

Ren Yuhuan watched them bickering but did not join in.

She came here just for Concubine Kong.

Imperial Physician Xie investigated the last incident of the little prince being poisoned after he returned from the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

The only people who had visited his Imperial Medical Office that day were the palace maids sent by Concubine Kong.

Originally, when concubines were sick, the imperial physician would personally diagnose and prescribe medicine, and then send it to the empress after it was prepared.

However, Concubine Kong lied that she was not feeling well and sent someone to get medicine herself.

At that time, all the imperial doctors were very busy. She knew that Imperial Doctor Xie was not there, so she deliberately went to find Imperial Doctor Xie to prescribe medicine.

When the other imperial physicians heard about this, they were reluctant to pay any attention, since Concubine Kong was not favored at the time anyway.

This gave Concubine Kong a chance to rummage through Doctor Xie's cabinet.

Doctor Xie really has a unique way of preventing theft. He deliberately wrote the word "poison" on the expensive medicine.

The palace servant who was looking for medicine saw the word "poison" and took it away.

On the second day, Concubine Kong asked other concubines to come to visit. During the visit, Concubine Kong pretended to have a stomachache, and then went to the little prince alone to poison him.

This is how the whole thing should go.

But Ren Yuhuan couldn't understand why she did this.

If they wanted to help Concubine Qi, the two of them wouldn't be confronting each other like this at this moment.

Concubine Qi was pretending to smile, but she stopped in the end and stood up and said, "Sister, please pack up slowly. I have to leave soon. The Queen Mother has something else to tell me!"

After saying that, Concubine Qi stood up and glanced at Ren Yuhuan, but Ren Yuhuan pretended not to see it and did not leave with Concubine Qi.
