Chapter 240 Abandoned

"So that's it. No wonder no one can find out what the problem is." Mo Ziyao stared at the rhizome of the fragrant flower given to her by Yuzhi in her hand, thinking about it.

Yuzhi told her everything she knew truthfully. Although it was not exactly the same as what she guessed, it was not far from the same.

Interestingly, Meng Xiuyuan is actually a person who studies flowers and spices. In addition, she has a special preference for gems and strange stones, and likes to collect all kinds of precious and rare strange stones for viewing and research.

Before Xing Mengjie entered the palace, her status in the Xing family was not high, which can be said to be low. Her mother, Shang Shi, comes from a poor background and is just a long-term worker in Xing's house responsible for gardening. However, he is quite talented and can develop a variety of spices with different fragrances and effects. For this reason, he is deeply loved by those husbands in the house.

I don't know how she made Master Xing notice that she was not an outstanding-groom worker, and later had a one-night affair with her, and finally married her as a concubine. A year later, another daughter was born, and this woman is now Xing Mengjie.

Although their mothers are not comfortable in the house, there are not many people who dare to provoke them. Because although their status is not high, their means are very unusual.

It is said that Master Xing had 12 concubines before. Later, people died of inexplicable illness every year. Everyone's cause of death was different, and the cause of death could not be found. In the end, there were only five left, and even the official Mrs. Xing died of illness three years ago.

And as he gets older and older, and he can't stand the death of his concubines, his health has been worse than a year. Since Shang, he has never accepted a concubine. Now Shang is already the new wife of Master Xing because of Xing Mengjie.

Xing Mengjie is better than her mother Shang, not only inheriting her talent and mind, but also her achievements in spices. More importantly, she is more ideal and ambitious than her mother.

Before entering the palace, she opened more than a dozen spice shops in different towns with the assets of the Xing family, and specially supplied them to those officials and nobles. Therefore, at a young age, she has accumulated more wealth than ordinary rich households.

These are all learned by Yuzhi through the maidservant beside Meng Xiuyuan. Mier is her dowry girl, but her relationship with Meng Xiuyuan does not seem to be too close, and it seems that there is something against her everywhere.

And Yuzhi also met Meng Xiuyuan through her first.

According to Yuzhi, she did not meet Meng Xiuyuan directly, and everything was handed over to Mier. After she saw Yuzhi's ambition and learned that she was Mo Ziyao's maidservant, the two immediately got along and directed the scene.

No matter what the result is, once it starts, someone must be unlucky. On the contrary, they will be at peace and enjoy the fruits.

The pigeon blood was originally no problem, but in the interlayer of the box, it was smoked with the roots of the fragrant flower, and it smelled.

Later, when it was embedded in the glazed necklace, Yuzhi asked Mier to come over for 'processing' and dripped the essence condensed into the mosaic. The whole necklace was smoked by the roots of the fragrant flowers for a few days, allowing its taste to enter those slightly invisible cracks. Finally, wipe it with a potion made of soft grass to neutralize the smell left by the fragrant flowers.

In fact, the smell of fragrant flowers is not harmful to the body. On the contrary, it also has a refreshing effect, but it can't meet pure sandalwood and the blooming orchids.

If the three meet, over time, it will weaken people's muscles and veins, shortness of breath, and poor blood. Ordinary people don't have anything. If they are pregnant, it is very easy to cause slippery fetuses.

Moreover, no one can see where the problem comes from. As Dr. Lin said, Mrs. Ya has become weak due to climate change. At first glance, there is indeed no problem, but Mrs. Ya's body is not as good as before, and she is so weak that the imperial descendants are in security. Who would have thought that this seemingly normal scene was actually just man-made.

"Mother." When Wanqiu saw that Mo Ziyao had been looking at the root of the fragrant flower in her hand, she had not spoken for a long time. She couldn't help but look worried and asked, "Are you all right?"

Mo Ziyao looked back, looked at Wanqiu and Yuzhi, who bowed his head and was silent beside him. She smiled and said, "I'm fine. I want to come to Yuyao Palace this time, nothing happened." Then he turned his eyes and stared at Yuzhi and frowned slightly and said, "What will you do? I don't know. It depends on what the emperor and the Liu family say."

Now that the results of the examination of the imperial hospital have not come out, and they must not find a reason for a moment. They need three spices to be mixed together to produce toxic substances. What's the use of staring at the fragrant flowers on the glazed necklace?

This is also the reason why no one came to Yuyao Palace even though they knew the problem was on the necklace.

What's more, even Ruan Lingzheng doesn't know if there is really something wrong with the glazed necklace. He's just guessing.

However, some people may really recognize that the residual substance on the necklace is Hexianghua, and even know that its encounter with pure sandalwood and flowering orchids will make people weak, shortness of breath, and blood stagnation. Even, it makes pregnant people very easy to slip.

If so, then I really can't argue. After all, this necklace is given to Mrs. Ya by myself, which is obvious to all! However, the pigeon bloodstone has passed through the hands of too many people. This line is so long and complicated that it may involve more people later.

There is another problem, it is not from the palace yet! Even if you have to investigate in detail, there is nowhere to verify it.

Suddenly, he remembered that if this was the case, would he still believe in himself? My heart is slightly moved. Are you stupid, Mo Ziyao? Why do you need to make some meaningless assumptions?

Yuzhi is still a little unclear, but Wanqiu whispered, "Your mother said that no one wants to blame you in this matter. Even if there is really something wrong with the glazed item, it was only in her wife's Lingyi Palace?"

Wanqiu just wanted Yuyao Palace to get rid of the suspicion of this matter, so she said so. But her words woke up Mo Ziyao.

Since this thing has passed through the hands of so many people, which link is the problem? As long as Yuzhi does not recognize it, who can prove that this thing is the problem in the Yuyao Palace?

After such a long time, the taste on it has almost evaporated. Even the essence dripping from the assembly can only leave a trace at most. Moreover, it is just a refreshing spice, and it is not harmful to people.

This is the bright point of Meng Xiuyuan. When all the substances on the necklace are evaporated, it is really indistinguable.

However, her so eagerness to kill Yuzhi was actually her biggest mistake and fatal mistake.

Originally, according to her plan, as long as everything went smoothly, she could unconsciously let Mrs. Ya's child pass away, and then say that the fragrant flowers, pure sandalwood and orchids could make people slippery. These were all made by Mo Ziyao's maidservant Yuzhi. So, how pleasant it is to get rid of two eyes in one breath! Unfortunately, who would have thought that Yuzhi was saved?

Fortunately, Yuzhi is fine, otherwise, there is really no room for this matter to turn around.

Even if Yuzhi is involved in this matter, Mo Ziyao will not be stupid enough to push her out. Anyone with a little brain knows that without the imperial family, such a big thing cannot be solved by introducing a maidservant.

Mo Ziyao will not let Yuyao Palace fall into crisis, so she can only choose to suppress this matter.

Although there is no news from Ruan Lingzheng and the Empress Dowager now, we must think of a corresponding solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the water falls, not only Yuzhi can't be preserved, but also the whole Yuyao Palace will be in danger.

After calming down and carefully analyzing it, Mo Ziyao was surprised to find that maybe it was not only the participation of Meng Xiuyuan and Yuzhi. If Yuzhi hid the fragrant flowers in the necklace, then who will be responsible for putting Zichun sandalwood and orchid grass into Mrs. Ya's bedroom?

You should know that the incense in the incense burner in Lingyi Palace has been checked, and there is no problem. Then it is impossible for pure sandalwood to be mixed with the usual incense. Also, it is well known that Mrs. Ya doesn't like flowers and plants. There are usually no potted plants such as flowers and plants in her bedroom, and no orchids were found in her bedroom on the day of the accident.

So, how did the person responsible for tamper in Mrs. Ya's bedroom do it? There is no problem with the incense burner, and the orchid grass has never been seen, but she has always been tricked.

unable, Mo Ziyao shook her head. This matter was too complicated and strange everywhere. She vaguely felt that if the matter was really found out, she and Meng Xiuyuan were definitely not the only people involved.

Behind the scenes, there should be people who manipulated secretly, and the two of them are most likely to be the pawns of that person. At the critical moment, they will be abandoned and pushed out.

I'm a little better. After all, I don't know much, but I'm just counted, and Meng Xiuyuan is not so lucky. She knows too much. Therefore, the abandoned child who was launched must be her, not herself.

Thinking of this, Mo Ziyao relaxed a little and thought for a long time before saying, "Don't mention this anymore. Let's just take a look."

"But, Madam..." Yuzhi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wanqiu: "Since Madam said so, we should remember ourselves as slaves."

Hearing this, Yuzhi finally said nothing more.

They all went down, and Mo Ziyao sat alone at the window. The sunset has gradually fallen to the horizon, and only a few shallow glows are still in the sky. It is already early summer, and the air is no longer cold. Slowly, you can still feel a touch of warmth.

Mo Ziyao lay on the vermilion window sill alone and looked at the depths of the pomegranate grass in the palace. The faint glow passed through the cracks in the branches of the green leaves and threw a patchy fragmentation on the smooth pebbles.

There are too many things that have happened in consecutive days, and the piles are related to the passing of life. Mrs. Ya's child and Suti's maidservant Mengxi, even Yuzhi was almost unpredictable. Such a rapid and continuous death scared her, and even the air seemed to faintly smell the bloody smell, which was unspeakable depression.

It seems that this matter has nothing to do with yourself. But just thinking about how to explain to Ruan Lingzheng after the result of the glazed necklace came out, why did it have a problem with what was originally sent from his hand?

Oh, it can't be said that it's fine here. It didn't go wrong until it was hung on Mrs. Ya's neck, right? After thinking for a long time, there is no perfect excuse.

Alas, Mo Ziyao shook her head, just take it one step now.
