Why doesn't this king's concubine compete for favor?

Chapter 21 Finding the Murderer
Jiang Xin raised the silver hairpin and looked at it carefully. In an instant, everyone present could see it clearly.

Shu Ling's eyes widened, "Huo" stood up, took a few steps back, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief in surprise.

Zhuqing's hands trembled, and the tray in her hand fell to the ground, making a series of noises.
Jiang Xin clutched the silver hairpin tightly, with a look of indignation:
"Is it true that someone is poisoning you? Playing this game with me? What a rotten meme!"

Zhuqing immediately knelt down on the ground:
"My lord, I... I don't know, I really don't know, how could there be, how could there be"

Zhuqing's fleshy little shoulders trembled like chaff.

Shu Ling was even more frightened, she kept stroking her chest, pointing at a table of dishes, her voice trembling:
"This is the Xunyang Prince's Mansion, who is so brave, dares, dares to poison?? Then the dishes on this table are all poisonous?"

Her face, which was not fair at first, was even more frightened. Fortunately, she didn't eat a bite. If she had just... I really dare not think about it.

The matter was so involved that not only the nuns in charge of Nuanyang Hall and Juhua Hall were alarmed, but also senior Nanny Li and Manager Wang rushed over.

Someone poisoned someone in the backyard of King Xunyang. This has never happened since the establishment of King Xunyang's mansion!

Everyone in the palace knew that King Xunyang had offended too many people. In order to avoid being assassinated, he made adequate preparations in all aspects of safety, and food was the most important thing.

At this time, King Xunyang has not yet returned to the mansion, and all the officials in the mansion are calm and determined, and deal with it well.

The several managers comforted Jiang Xin and other nobles in advance, and at the same time blocked the news immediately, and no one in the mansion was allowed to go out, and they had to stay where they were and wait for orders.

He ordered his servants to test the dishes one by one, and found that only this cup of chrysanthemum honey was poisonous, and the others were not poisonous.

There are three larger dining rooms in Xunyang Prince's Mansion, except Juhua Hall, and one in the east and west courtyards, and this cup of chrysanthemum honey comes from the dining room in the east courtyard.

The palace has very strict control over the meal making process, and there are dedicated people in charge of each link, so it is easy to find out who made it.

Moreover, only this cup of chrysanthemum honey was poisoned, so it is easier to investigate, but I don't know why someone is willing to take such a big risk and put Jiang Guiren to death.

In the inner hall of Nuanyang Hall, Shu Ling was by Jiang Xin's side, even though she was flustered, she couldn't stop comforting Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin, on the other hand, cocked her legs and ate melon seeds to herself.

Zhuqing came in from the outside, fell to her knees with a 'plop', her face was covered with tears, she didn't dare to get up.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Xin felt a little distressed:
"Zhuqing, get up, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, don't be afraid, the poisoner is trying to die, and we will find out soon."

Zhuqing raised her head gratefully, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably:
"The nobleman is willing to trust your servants, and the servants are grateful, but the diet in the palace is the strictest, and there are special people responsible for each level. Because this chrysanthemum honey is special, it is not a regular drink, so those who know this and can get in touch with it, No more than two people, one is the cook in charge of the drinks in the east courtyard, and the other is me, the others don't know that you drink this, the servants are afraid, the servants are afraid that the suspicion will not be cleared."

Zhu Qing cried so sadly that Shu Ling couldn't help being moved, but Jiang Xin laughed instead:
"Mother Li and the others asked you for questioning just now, right? You just told the truth, are they trying to scare you?"
