Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

After hearing Lu Wanning's words, Qingzhi carefully recalled what happened before and after Xin Yanwei's foot, and then told Lu Wanning verbatim.

After listening to it, Lu Wanning didn't find that there was another problem.

From Qingzhi's description, Lu Wanning also felt that Xin Yan seemed to want to get close to the small kitchen, so she sprained her ankle on purpose.

But now there is no problem in the small kitchen, but there are snake bones in my bedroom that shouldn't appear.

Is it possible that Xin Yan did that on purpose, just to distract her?

This matter needs to be investigated carefully, especially how the snake ran into Ruichang Palace, and how the snake bone flower was placed in her bedroom.

While Lu Wanning handed over the matter to Zhou Man for investigation, she also reported the matter to the Queen Mother.

Now that the emperor is no longer in the palace, all the power in the harem is in the hands of the empress dowager, so it is a big deal for a poisonous snake to appear in the harem.

This snake can appear in Ruichang Palace today, and it can appear in other palaces tomorrow.

After the Queen Mother knew about this, she directly handed over the matter to the Inner Court Prison for them to investigate in detail, and they must find out where the poisonous snake came from.

In Biyun Palace, Princess Fengqing knew that Lu Wanning had reported this matter to the Empress Dowager, and after the Empress Dowager asked people to investigate the matter with great fanfare, she couldn't help feeling a little flustered. Sitting on the chair, he asked Xin Yan, "They probably won't find anything, right?"

Those spies were cultivated by Dongchi Kingdom with great difficulty. If Dayong found out because of herself, her mother, concubine and emperor brother might not be able to spare her.

Xin Yan looked at Princess Fengqing, thinking that if she had known today, why bother back then, if she had listened to her advice back then, she would not have such worries now, those spies are very important, how could they be used in the harem to fight for favor.

But Xin Yan couldn't say that, she could only shake her head and said, "Don't worry, Ma'am, they've done a clean job, so they shouldn't find anything."

Xin Yan was just comforting Princess Fengqing, and she didn't know if she would find out, but Princess Fengqing took Xin Yan's comfort seriously.

She nodded and said: "That's right, they have been lurking in Dayong for so many years, and they haven't been discovered. It is impossible to be found out so easily."

Xin Yan wanted to say that they were not discovered before because they hadn't done anything before.

But now that they have moved, it is uncertain whether they will be discovered or not.

Now I just hope that the people in Dayong's inner court prison will be a little foolish, and don't find any clues.

Otherwise, if they found a spy, they would very likely pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, and wipe out all the spies buried in Dayong in Dongchi.

But the methods of the people in the inner court prison are much more powerful than Xin Yan thought.

In a few days, several spies from Dongchi Kingdom were captured from the palace by the Inner Court Prison.

In fact, they were able to make such rapid progress thanks to the spy that Zhou Man picked up from Ruichang Palace.

An inconspicuous little maid in Ruichang Palace turned out to be a spy placed by Dongchi Kingdom in Dayong.

At that time, Lu Wanning thought that the person who could put the snake bone flower into her bedroom without anyone noticing it must be someone from their Ruichang Palace.

Therefore, let Zhou Man check from inside their Ruichang Palace first.

After Zhou Man heard Lu Wanning's words, he began to check the people in Ruichang Palace one by one.

Finally found the little maid.

As a spy of Dongchi Kingdom, that little palace lady was very stubborn. After being found out, she didn't say anything, and insisted that she was wronged.

Lu Wanning saw that she couldn't get anything out of her mouth, so she asked Zhou Man to hand him over to the inner court prison.

After entering the Inner Court Prison, the little court lady was stubborn at first, but after using all kinds of instruments of torture in the Inner Court Prison, the little court lady couldn't hold on any longer. In the end, she couldn't bear the punishment and said what she knew.

But she is only a little guy, she doesn't know much, she only knows who the person she is in contact with is.

I don't know how many other people are like her.

But this is enough, the Inner Court followed the vine and caught several people with the same status as the little maid.

There are these people in every palace, not only Ruichang Palace, but also the Shouan Palace of the Empress Dowager, and the Fu'an Palace of Ming Taifei.

Fortunately, these people are not important people in each palace, they mostly do sweeping or gardening flowers and plants in the yard.

But that was enough to startle people.

The empress dowager was furious after being shocked, and asked the inner court prison to thoroughly investigate the spies in the palace.

Later, the Inner Court Prison found four or five spies from the palace.

However, Dongchi Kingdom and Dayong were still allies, and the Empress Dowager had no good idea about how to deal with these spies, so she had to let the inner court prison lock up these people first, and see how to deal with them after Luo Chengjing returned to Beijing.

After the investigation was almost done, the queen mother came to Ruichang Palace and told Lu Wanning the whole story of the poisonous snake in Ruichang Palace.

The petals that lure snakes in Lu Wanning's room were given to the little maid in Lu Wanning's palace by other spies, and asked the little maid to find a chance to put them in Lu Wanning's room.

As for the two poisonous snakes, someone from outside the palace brought them into the palace and was called into the hands of the little maid, who asked the little maid to put them near Lu Wanning's bedroom while Lu Wanning was sleeping.

Since this matter involves the spies of Dongchi Kingdom, it means that it has something to do with Princess Fengqing.

But the problem is that the person who did this never mentioned Princess Fengqing from the beginning to the end.

No one admitted that Princess Fengqing ordered them to do it.

In addition, Princess Fengqing is a married princess, the Queen Mother does not want to punish Princess Fengqing at this juncture.

If he wanted to punish Princess Fengqing, he would at least wait for the emperor to come back from his conquest. At that time, without the threat of Xirong, he would not be afraid to tear up his face with Dongchi.

At this juncture, everything is still based on the harmony between the two countries.

The Queen Mother talked a lot.

After listening to what the queen mother said, Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, I understand. Although I was a little shocked by this incident, I was not injured after all. Let's forget about it for the time being."

Seeing what Lu Wanning said, the queen mother smiled with satisfaction, "You are a sensible person, don't worry, when the emperor comes back, Aijia will make the emperor compensate you."

Lu Wanning did not refuse either, and said with a smile: "Then the concubine will thank the Queen Mother first."

Afterwards, the queen mother talked to Lu Wanning for a while, and made out with the fourth princess, grandson and grandson for a while before leaving Ruichang Palace with people.

After the queen mother left, Qingzhi looked at the fading smile on Lu Wanning's face, and said a little for Lu Wanning: "Master, is this really the case?"
