Chapter 415: Mandarin Duck Vine

Mandarin duck vine, also known as honeysuckle, is white at first, then turns yellow. It is also known as honeysuckle among folks.
The mandarin duck vine blooms in spring and the flowering period is extremely long, and you can still see the flowers bloom until early autumn.
Although this flower is common among the folks, it is rare in the palace where every plant is precious and rare.
How does the little honeysuckle compare with the beautiful peony and the bright and colorful peony?
Jiang Si asked this strangely, and the concubines couldn't help but look at each other.
Princess Yan specifically asked where the mandarin duck vine is planted in the palace. What does this mean?
"Seventh daughter-in-law, you asked about Mandarin Duck and Vine, is it related to today's matter?" Emperor Jingming asked slowly.
Jiang Si was calm: "My daughter-in-law is not sure, just ask first."
Maybe it was Jiang Si who healed Princess Fuqing’s eyes, and the previous method of making the flower buds bloom revealed too much magic. Although Emperor Jingming could not think of how the humble Mandarin Duck Vine could be related to the death of the fifteen princesses, he showed Full of patience: "Have you heard the question about Princess Yan?"
What Jiang Si asked in the palace was what the people like Princess Rongyang, who lived outside the palace, didn't realize. The concubines and the princesses who had not left the pavilion suddenly became a little nervous, and they became more and more confused about Jiang Si's meaning.
"You all think about it. If you can't think of it now, I will send someone to find out who has mandarin ducks and vines in the palace--" Emperor Jingming didn't say anything afterwards, but the warning was full.
It was to celebrate the return of his daughter to the light, but the other daughter was killed. If it hadn't been for her excellent self-cultivation, Emperor Jingming would have long been furious.
After a suffocating silence, suddenly a maidservant knelt down and said timidly: "Return to the emperor, maidservant... the maidservant once saw a piece of mandarin duck vine by chance..."
"where?"
When Emperor Jingming questioned, the people who recognized the maidservant turned their eyes to the concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian could hardly maintain a calm look, and asked sharply, "Pomegranate, do you know what you are talking about?"
It turned out that the maidservant named Lime was the maid of Yuquan Palace, who accompanied the concubine to the banquet today.
"Concubine Ai, why don't you listen to what she said." Jingming Emperor Liang Liang glanced at Concubine Xian, his tone was not very good.
The concubine Xian did not expect to be troubled, so she came up, enduring the writhing anger and asked the maidservant: "Then tell me, where did you see the mandarin duck vine?"
The maidservant secretly handed the concubine Xian a helpless look, bowed her head and said: "The maidservant once saw Mandarin Duck Vine at Chen Meiren's place..."
Chen Meiren?
Emperor Jingming was a little at a loss.
The queen reminded me very thoughtfully: "Chen Meiren is the biological mother of the fourteenth princess and lives in the side hall of Yuquan Palace."
The residence regulations of the concubines in the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty are exquisite. Only when they reach a certain level can they be eligible to own an independent palace. Like Jieyu and Meiren, they can only live by relying on high-level concubines.
Hearing that she had seen Mandarin Duck Vine from Meiren Chen, Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief while secretly unsuccessful.
These low-ranking concubines depend on the high-ranking concubines and live scattered. Which palace they live in is assigned according to the rule. It is not that she sees which concubine is pleasing to her eyes before letting her live in her own Yuquan Palace.
Although Princess Yan asked what the mandarin duck vine meant, but it was obviously not a good thing. It happened that the people who were found lived in Yuquan Palace. This was really a disaster.
"Can Beauty Chen be here?" Jingming asked with a frown after finding out the identity of Beauty Chen.
This palace banquet was originally organized by the queen, and he knew this naturally, and immediately said: "Chen Meiren has taken leave."
"Take a leave?"
"The fourteenth princess fell ill two days ago. Chen Meiren took leave and said that she would take care of the fourteenth princess."
The princess no longer lived with her mother and concubine at the age of twelve. The fourteenth princess was as old as Princess Fuqing and had already moved away from Yuquan Palace.
Of course, although the princesses grew up and lived separately from their mother and concubine, because they were all in the harem, it was very convenient for the concubines to visit, and there was no need to report to the queen.
"In other words, neither Meiren Chen nor Fourteen are in the temple?" Emperor Jingming frowned, his mood a little heavy.
The queen nodded: "Exactly."
Emperor Jingming looked at Jiang Si, "Seventh wife, now I know where there are Mandarin ducks and vines. What does this mean?"
"Daughter-in-law also has to go and see in person."
Seeing that Jiang Si said more and more puzzling, Emperor Jingming couldn't help but glanced at Yu Jin.
What does the old seventh wife mean?
"Father, the daughter-in-law is not selling off the child, but this matter is of great importance. The daughter-in-law dare not influence anyone indiscriminately. Only by seeing it in person can we be sure."
Emperor Jingming sighed, "Well, let Pan Hai take you to Yuquan Palace."
Jiang Si bends her knees slightly again: "Please also ask the hospital envoy to follow."
They have already allowed Jiang Si to go to Yuquan Palace. Naturally, Emperor Jingming will not be embarrassed by this, so he nodded without hesitation.
Yu Jin wanted to ask Jiang Si to go with him, but received the look in Jiang Si's eyes and dispelled the idea.
The most uncomfortable person at this time is Concubine Xian.
Princess Yan actually wants to go to Yuquan Palace in person. What is it selling?
Could it be that Chen Meiren is related to the death of the fifteen princesses? How can this be!
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out, and the Concubine Xian had come up with Gong again.
But at this time, none of the people present could leave, and it would be a shame to tell the emperor to show respect.
There is no choice but to endure.
While waiting, Emperor Jingming closed his eyes and said nothing, and everyone couldn't help talking in low voices.
"Why does Princess Yan look at Mandarin Duck Vine?"
"Who knows? Is it possible that mandarin duck vine can poison people?"
This makes fun of it.
And the few imperial physicians who remained in the hall exchanged their eyes, vaguely having some terrible guess.
Of course, before Princess Yan came back, they were afraid to say a word.
Princess Rongyang waited impatiently, and sneered at Princess Ningluo next to her: "I think Princess Yan is playing mystery."
Princess Ningluo is the mother of Chen Huifu. At the plum banquet, her daughter was ugly. After careful questioning, she intuitively felt that she was inseparable from Jiang Si, so she did not agree with Princess Rongyang's words and whispered: "It's hard to say , Don’t look at Princess Yan’s youth, but she has the means...:
After a long wait, Jiang Si finally returned, holding a folded veil in his hand.
"Seventh daughter-in-law, can you make it clear now?" Emperor Jing Ming opened his eyes and asked, and the left light swept towards Pan Hai.
As the great that Emperor Jingming trusted most, Pan Hai turned pale at the moment without knowing how many winds and waves he had seen. Obviously, something extremely shocking had happened to him.
"Father, my daughter-in-law probably found the source of the poison."
When this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
"Where?" Emperor Jing Ming couldn't wait to ask.
Jiang Si calmly said, "It's in the mandarin duck vine!"
"Impossible, Mandarin Duck Vine is not only non-toxic, but also a good medicine!" Many people blurted out.
The poison that can kill the fifteen princesses in a short time is the Mandarin Duck Vine? It's ridiculous!
Jiang Si didn't change his face and blessed Emperor Jingming: "Father, let's ask the envoy Zhang to speak."
