Qu Yunchu secretly took the paper ball and looked at Liu Quan's face that suddenly became a little solemn, and he probably had a result in his heart.

After the doctor finished checking her pulse, she made an excuse and said to Lu Wenqian: "I want to rest for a while. The official will personally see Zhang Qian's affairs, and also go to see if my mother or anyone in the house is injured."

Knowing that his wife was safe, Lu Wenqian couldn't wait to find out from the living mouth the reason why Zhang Jinnian sent someone to assassinate his wife, so he led everyone out.

Seeing that only Liu Quan and his attendants were left in the room, Qu Yunchu opened the paper ball and looked at it. It was indeed what he expected.

Liu Quan had been very worried before he came. The young lady was pregnant at this time, and he should not have chosen to tell her the matter at this time.

But thinking about her current situation, I decided to tell her after careful consideration.

After all, this matter also involved Mr. Lu, so she had to take precautions in advance.

Qu Yunchu looked at his worried face and could probably guess his worries. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Eunuch Liu, tell me, there is no need to worry about me."

Liu Quanzhi left his attendants, and when he came to Qu Yunchu he said uneasily: "Our family sent people to the palace to thoroughly investigate the past events. It is true that both Dr. Shen and Dr. Qu were plotted to death by Zhang Jinnian. It's just that However, everyone in the palace has Zhang Jinnian’s eyes and ears, and even though our family is cautious, I am afraid that it still attracted his attention, so he wanted to assassinate the young lady."

Qu Yunchu felt particularly uncomfortable at this time. Although he had convinced himself to restrain himself as much as possible, he still couldn't help but clenched his fists bitterly.

"Imperial Doctor Shen and Zhang Jinnian have known each other for many years. At the time, Imperial Physician Shen saved Zhang Jinnian's life. However, Imperial Physician Shen served Emperor Changqing. Emperor Changqing was dissatisfied with Zhang Jinnian's support of the current emperor and wanted to depose him. Zhang Jinnian was very poor. A man presented the elixir to the emperor, but Doctor Shen stopped him, so Zhang Jinnian had a murderous intention and took the opportunity to get rid of Doctor Shen."

Liu Quan spoke in a deep tone. At this point, he suddenly sighed: "As for Dr. Qu, he was too straightforward. It is said that he sympathized with Dr. Shen's death as soon as he entered the palace. Changqing In the years before his death, the emperor was obsessed with elixirs to the point of becoming obsessed, and the cause of Dr. Qu's death was also related to elixirs."

After hearing this, Qu Yunchu understood everything.

It seems that Zhang Jinnian was not so bold now. He was a ruthless character as early as Emperor Changqing's reign.

I think there must be something wrong with the elixir enshrined to Emperor Changqing.

Being a royal doctor in the palace is a high-risk profession, and there is no room for instigation.

Liu Quan carefully looked at Qu Yunchu and said: "I heard that Imperial Physician Qu had asked for a pill for Emperor Changqing, but for some reason Emperor Changqing became more and more unwell after taking it, so he was attacked by Zhang Jinnian. He was framed, which led to his death."

After saying this, he handed the letter about Zhang Jinnian's conspiracy with an old imperial doctor in the palace to Qu Yunchu.

Qu Yunchu opened it and looked at it, and sure enough it was clearly written that the two of them were in cahoots and colluded with each other.

"This imperial doctor was the former envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital. He was specially promoted because he helped Zhang Jinnian eliminate Imperial Doctor Shen. When Emperor Zhao of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, he retired and returned to his hometown. However, he was assassinated on the way back. This letter is He sent someone to hide it in advance."

Liu Quan said: "I heard that Zhang Jinnian has been tracing the whereabouts of this letter in the past few years. Fortunately, the keeper of this letter was handed over to Qian Asi. Although this person belongs to the Hanyi Guards, he has always been loyal to our family. dedicated."

Qu Yunchu stared at the letter quietly for a moment. She felt like a bright mirror in her heart. If she wanted to deal with the current Zhang Jinnian, relying solely on these so-called evidences would be useless.

Even two years ago, Emperor Ming Zhao would not have dealt with him too harshly.

However, Liu Quan's concern did not lie in this. He asked with a somewhat solemn tone: "Young madam, do you need to tell Marquis Yuanyuan about this?"

Qu Yunchu shook his head with dull eyes.

It seems that Lu Wenqian already knows what happened in the palace, but he and Zhang Jinnian are like father and son. If these things are known to him again, he will definitely stop him from getting rid of Zhang Jinnian.

"There is no need to inform him first."

Qu Yunchu said calmly: "If the emperor really sends out the blood edict to leave the palace, and let the second master come to the capital to serve as king, this will be a difficult decision for both the second master and Zhang Jinnian. Let's see how he makes the decision. Make up your mind.”

Liu Quan was a little confused: "Zhang Jinnian has always been cautious. If he dares to put your majesty under house arrest, how can he give your majesty the opportunity to spread the blood edict? There may be something hidden in this." Qu Yunchu also felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Could it be that the old eunuch wanted to pave the way for Lu Wenqian at his own expense?

The price is quite high.

But then I thought about it, as long as he could successfully welcome Lu Wenqian to Beijing, Lu Wenqian would definitely not kill him.

Thinking of this, Qu Yunchu felt even more urgent. He must get rid of Zhang Jinnian before Lu Wenqian came to Beijing.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there will really be no chance in the future.

In a corner outside the courtyard, Queen Qianshan took advantage of the chaos in the house and hid her breath, clearly hearing the conversation between the two people in the room.

Knowing the grudge between the smelly Taoist nun and Zhang Jinnian, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"God help me."

Queen Qianshan left happily and looked for Lu Wenqian's location.

At this time, Lu Wenqian had just finished interrogating the captured assassins and Taoist priests, but he did not find any valuable clues.

At a loss what to do, he rushed back to Fengyage, and happened to bump into "Li Buyao" on the way.

"Looking at the sad face of the head of the house, could he be worried about the head of the house's wife?"

The corners of Queen Qianshan's enchanting lips were slightly raised, and she smiled evilly at him: "Perhaps I can untie the knot in the heart of the family master, if the family master is willing to go and sit in my Xiadan courtyard."

"Miss Buyao, do you want to be stupid again?"

Lu Wenqian sneered coldly and walked past her to leave.

"Why is the second master so hostile to me?"

Queen Qianshan stopped him and said with a sinister smile: "The second master is in a dilemma now. Whether it is in the palace or in the house, if you can save Zhang Jinnian, then the person you care about must die."

Lu Wenqian only thought that the woman was sick, so he ignored her and continued to move forward.

"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable."

Queen Qianshan shouted again, Lu Wenqian was startled and finally stopped.

He looked back at her coldly and glared at her fiercely: "What are you talking nonsense about?"

"Why can Mr. Lu, who is so smart, not see through this?"

Queen Qianshan smiled happily and reminded: "Although the wife of the family is Tang Shun's daughter, she was abandoned by the Tang family since she was a child, not to mention that there is no trace of her in the Tang family's genealogy. Why should Superintendent Zhang After forcing her so hard, you could not rob her and then assassinate her instead?"

After giving him a serious look, Queen Qianshan smiled slyly: "If it's not that Chief Inspector Zhang has something in his heart, then what is it?"

Although her words were suspected of sowing discord, they still made Lu Wenqian wary.

Indeed, Zhang Jinnian has worked his way up from an unknown little eunuch to his current position in the palace, and he probably has a lot of blood on his hands.

Among them, it is naturally not ruled out that some died in vain in his hands.
