The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 327 Empress Dowager Zhang Became Chu Jin's Alibi

Chu Jin and Concubine Zhang worked together to find many well-connected people in Zhaodu with high-priced silver. These people took the silver for only one purpose, that is, to find the businessman who sold 'Sazhide'.

I thought I would hear back in a day or two, but I didn't expect that five days had passed and there was still no clue.

At noon on the seventh day, someone delivered a letter to the palace, saying that they had found a drug seller, and that the poison was extremely expensive, 500 taels of snowflake silver was only as small as a fingernail.

Because things are rare and few people know about them, he clearly remembers the life of the person who bought medicine from him last time.

Under their persecution, the man described according to his memory that someone wrote a painting and sent it to the palace as a painting.

On the portrait is a man with a very handsome face, because the incident has passed for more than ten days, the man can't remember the man's appearance clearly.

He only remembered the man's obvious facial features.

For example, the eyelids are single and double, and there is a mole in the middle of the chin.

Concubine Zhang looked at the painting for a long time but couldn't see any signs of it, "The people in this painting are unfamiliar, I'm afraid she hired someone from the palace to handle this matter on her behalf. There are so many common people in Dazhao, and they can't openly offer rewards and post notices." , if you want to find this person, I am afraid it will be difficult."

Chu Jin shook his head, and asked back: "We want to find out the people behind the scenes, so we will find people from the palace to do things for us. If today we don't want to investigate the truth behind the scenes, but buy poison to kill people, sister, you will Do you feel free to leave this matter to outsiders?"

"Of course not." Concubine Zhang rejected Chu Jin's words without even thinking about it. Shaguo asked to investigate this matter to the end. Layers of clues were peeled off, Dazhao was full of this person's Danqing portraits, and he must have escaped. He was arrested. If he is given a chance to live, can he not confess who instigated it? ?”

"Then if I want my sister to do this, who will my sister choose to buy the poison?"

Concubine Zhang rolled her eyes and said with a smirk: "Of course I asked Guan Yu to go. She is the most caring to me, and she will not confess me even if the Dong Chuang incident happens in the future. But such a thing, I will do it even if I am killed." not come out."

"Sister can't do it, someone else can do it." Chu Jin ordered Linglong to prepare a brush and ink, and drew the brush again on top of the painting, adding black silk like a waterfall to the man, and slightly modified the outline of the facial features to make it softened.

Concubine Zhang saw that she changed the man into a woman's appearance one by one, and wondered: "What is this for?"

Chu Jin calmly covered the nose of the man in Danqing's portrait with his thumb, "Who does my sister look like?"

This.
This single pair of eyes, the mole on the chin, but the outline of the expression is quite similar to the colorful star who served Concubine Xiao Shen.

"It's her?" Concubine Zhang was surprised, "You have solved all the doubts with just a few strokes. It actually made you think that it was Cai Xing who disguised herself as a man to do this shameless thing for Concubine Xiao Shen."

Chu Jin said calmly: "Faces come from the heart. There are not many maidservants who look as ugly as her, and it's hard not to recognize them."

"Now that I know it's her, I'm going to tell my aunt about it."

Concubine Zhang was impatient, she got up and went out of the hall before finishing her sentence.Chu Jin hurriedly caught up with her and stopped her, "Sister, what are you going to say? Said she wanted to harm Yu'er? But Yu'er is fine after all, the one who died was just a nurse. When the baby in Concubine Ru's womb was lost, the queen mother said She is pregnant with imperial descendants and has never been punished. Does my sister think that the Empress Dowager will punish Concubine Xiao Shen for the death of a wet nurse? After all, what we hold in our hands is not actual evidence, these are just our speculations. When things start to go wrong, Concubine Xiao Shen is completely It can be argued that we colluded with the doctor who sold the medicine to tell a big lie, and instead put us in the army."

"I can't just watch the bastard continue to enjoy herself!" Concubine Zhang said angrily.

"Beautiful?" Chu Jin sneered and said, "Her glorious days are gone."

It was night, Chu Jin entered Xianshou Palace after dinner, greeted Empress Dowager Zhang, and then went to the side hall to visit Luan Yu. At Haishi (nine o'clock), the nuns waited for Luan Yu to wash and go to sleep, and Chu Jin returned The main hall said goodbye to Empress Dowager Zhang.

Before leaving, Guan Yu came in with a basket of chess pieces, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Zhang's mother's father got a new pair of cold and warm jade chess pieces, which are rare and rare. The tentacles are warm, the sunspots are warm and the white ones are cold. Concubine Zhang As soon as the empress received it, she hurriedly ordered her slaves to bring it to you."

She offered the cold and warm jade chess pieces to the front, and the Empress Dowager Zhang laughed happily after playing with them for a while: "Let's put it down, Concubine Zhang has a heart." After saying that, she raised her hand and ordered Guan Yu to retreat.

Chu Jinwei gave a blessing and planned to retire together, Empress Dowager Zhang said again: "Concubine Chu is also idle when she returns to the palace. Today I got a new game of chess, let's play two games with Ai's family."

"The queen mother is very interested, and my concubine is very happy." Chu Jin walked to the warm seat with a smile, and started playing chess with the queen mother.

On the table are a copper leak (used to keep time) and a red sandalwood smoker.

In the incense burner, there is light blue smoke rising and spreading like silk and wisps. It is the newly burned Ningxi incense, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the breath.

When playing chess with Empress Dowager Zhang before, Chu Jin would deliberately let her play a few games every time. Even if he could win, it would be a difficult situation.

As a daughter-in-law, if she wins over her mother-in-law, she won't be rewarded or praised, and she will have a reputation of being ignorant, so she might as well seek to lose, and make her old man happy.

Today is different.

After only one game, Chu Jin won the eighteen sons of Empress Dowager Zhang, which aroused Empress Dowager Zhang's desire to win, and said repeatedly: "It's the Ai family's carelessness, come again!"

Qingzhu added two more candles for the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed earlier?"

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and shook her head, "I have to win this girl's Aijia before I can go to bed with peace of mind. You go to the manufacturing office today to finalize the embroidery pattern of Aijia's autumn clothes for a day, and you are so sleepy that your eyelids are fighting. Go down and rest."

Qingzhu resisted and yawned, tears welled up from her tear glands, "The servant will retire first."

After she left, Chu Jin intentionally hit his white stones hard when he made a move, and accidentally knocked the black stones on the edge of Empress Dowager Zhang's chessboard onto the warm seat.

Taking advantage of the time when Queen Mother Zhang lowered her head to pick it up, she added a small piece of pale white solid to the smoker at a very fast speed.

After putting the thing into the smoker and burning about half a cup of tea, Empress Dowager Zhang felt dizzy and fell asleep lying on the table.

"Queen? Queen?"

Chu Jin called her twice and saw that she didn't respond, then took out the two pieces of white cotton stuffed into his nasal cavity.

At this time, most of the palace people in Xianshou Palace had already fallen asleep, and it was time for the guards to change jobs.

Chu Jin took advantage of the vacancy and sneaked out of Xianshou Palace without anyone noticing.
