Lu Wanning responded, and told Qing Dai: "Go back and get my moon-white veil embroidered with orchids and that moon-white cloth."

"Yes, master." Qing Dai replied, bowed to the empress and went back to Linglong Pavilion to get things.

After Qing Dai left, the empress drank slowly with tea, not at all trying to wake Lu Wanning up.

Lu Wanning knelt on the ground, lowered her head, her nose was filled with the fragrance from the sachet on the ground, Lu Wanning carefully analyzed the spices in the sachet.

The original taste of this sachet should be the fragrance of lotus stamens, and the configuration of lotus stamens fragrance requires spices such as lotus stamens, nard pine, ageratum, sandalwood, cloves, and white plum meat.

Now there is a lot of musk mixed in, which makes the smell of this sachet far from the original lotus stamen fragrance.

This sachet should be the cause of Zheng Jieyu's miscarriage, right?

Whether it was the fabric of the sachet or the musk in it, all signs point to her as the murderer. Zheng Jieyu really took great pains to deal with her even without the child in her belly.

The queen observed Lu Wanning who was kneeling on the ground while drinking tea. Seeing that Lu Wanning was kneeling there as if she had settled down, without any intention of begging for mercy or justifying, the queen couldn't help but sighed in her heart: Beauty Lu is really so deep. Hold on.

The distance between Linglong Pavilion and Fengyi Palace is not too close, it took Qingdai more than two quarters of an hour to come back.

Qingdai who came back held the piece of cloth that was only a little used in her arms, but her face was very ugly.

Lu Wanning looked at Qingdai's expression and felt a little bit in her heart, and couldn't help but wonder if the handkerchief was missing?

She was still there when she asked Qingdai and Qingzhi to count things yesterday!
The Queen and the others naturally also noticed Qing Dai's expression, a flash of thought flashed in her eyes, she put down the teacup in her hand, and asked Qing Dai, "Did you bring the things here?"

Qing Dai raised the cloth with both hands and said: "Go back to Empress Empress, the cloth is here."

Fei Cui went over to check the cloth in Qing Dai's hand, and said to the Empress, "Niang Niang, there is a small piece missing."

The queen looked at Qing Dai: "Where is the handkerchief your master mentioned?"

When Qing Dai heard the Queen's question, her face froze.

"If..." Just when the queen thought Qing Dai couldn't get out the handkerchief, Qing Dai took out a partially burnt handkerchief from her cuff, and said, "If you go back to the empress, the handkerchief is here, but because of the palace A careless person burned a piece of it."

Liuli went over to take the veil, looked at it, handed it to the queen, and said, "Your Majesty, the veil was indeed cut from that piece of fabric."

When the queen heard Liuli's words, a flash of disappointment flashed in her heart. She took the veil and looked at it. Although a piece of the veil was burnt, fortunately the burnt area was not too big, and she could tell what kind of fabric the veil was made of.It is indeed the same fabric as the sachet, and it should have been cut from that fabric.

From this point of view, Beauty Lu can be cleared of suspicion for the time being. It is impossible to convict Beauty Lu only by the musk in the sachet. Although Beauty Lu is good at making incense, Lu Meiren is not the only one in this palace. Beauty can get musk.

After Lu Wanning proved that the fabric used for the sachet had nothing to do with her, the queen could only wave her hand to let Lu Wanning leave.

Coming out of Fengyi Palace, Lu Wanning asked Qingdai with a serious face, "What's the matter with the handkerchief?"

Qingdai said to Lu Wanning with a dark face: "Back to the master, the servant heard Qingzhi say that the master took the servant and just left with the front foot, Zifu's cheap girl stole the handkerchief and wanted to burn it, but fortunately the master asked Qingzhi to keep it before leaving. Be careful, Qingzhi caught that cheap girl just as soon as she made a move, and snatched the handkerchief from her hand."

When Qingzhi saw it, Zifu had already set the veil on fire with the torch on her body, and it was Qingzhi who snatched the scorched piece of veil from Zifu at the risk of being burned. The handkerchief was burned, and Qingzhi's hands were burned.

When Lu Wanning returned to Linglong Pavilion, there was no trace of anger on her face, but the aura on her body shocked Zhou Man and the waiters in Linglong Pavilion.

These people have been serving Lu Wanning for more than a year. Lu Wanning has always been kind to them. They have never seen Lu Wanning like this today.

Lu Wanning sat down in the main hall of Linglong Pavilion, glanced at the people in the room, and asked, "Where is Lady Zi?"

Zhou Man replied cautiously: "The villain tied him up and locked him in the side hall."

"Bring me up." Lu Wanning ordered.

Zhou Man responded, and went to bring Zifu up, Zifu was helped with both hands and feet, a rag was stuffed in her mouth by Qingzhi, and she was almost pushed into the house by Zhou Man.

Seeing Lu Wanning, Zifu moved her eyes a little guilty.

"Take the thing out of her mouth." Lu Wanning ordered.

Zhou Man stepped forward to remove the rag from Zi Fu's mouth.

Zifu thought that Lu Wanning asked Zhou Man to remove the rag from her mouth to ask her who ordered her, but Lu Wanning stared at her for a long time, then suddenly curled her lips, and said with great interest: "I'm a little curious What advantage did Zheng Jieyu give you to make you willing to take the risk to do this?"

Zifu couldn't help but stare at Lu Wanning with wide eyes when she heard Lu Wanning's words, as if she didn't expect that Lu Wanning knew who ordered her.

Lu Wanning ignored Zifu's shock, but continued: "I think you are willing to take the risk to destroy the veil. There are only two possibilities. The first is that Zheng Jieyu grabbed your handle and threatened you to do it. The second is that Zheng Jieyu promised you enough benefits."

"As far as I know, you haven't done anything wrong in the palace, so Zheng Jieyu shouldn't have anything against you, so there is only the second possibility."

After Lu Wanning finished speaking, she said to Qing Dai: "Go and search her room for me to see if I can find anything."

"Yes, master." Qingdai replied, and went to search Zifu's room.

Zifu saw Qingdai go out and move her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Lu Wanning glanced at Zi Fu, but she was not in a hurry, she picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly, waiting for Qing Dai to come back.

After Lu Wanning finished drinking a cup of tea, Qing Dai walked in empty-handed, shook her head at Lu Wanning, and said: "Master, this servant has searched all the house of this lowly maid, and found nothing except what the master rewarded. Anything else of value."

Lu Wanning was not surprised, she looked at Zifu and said, "Since this benefit is not in your hands, it should be in your family's hands."

"Zi Fu, if I remember correctly, your family seems to be from Zhang County, right?"

After hearing Lu Wanning's words, Zifu's face changed suddenly, and she looked at Lu Wanning with a bit of defense in her eyes.
