"What?"

Luo Lan couldn't wait to ask,

"What's going on? Why did she die suddenly?"

The girl blushed and shook her head vigorously.

"I don't know. Last night, a few girls complained that they had stomachaches. They thought they had eaten something bad and no one took them seriously. But when they got up in the morning, they found Cuizhu dead."

Cuizhu was the girl on duty at Fengyi Palace yesterday. Why did she die suddenly?

And how many girls have stomachaches?

Combined with her own symptoms, she suddenly thought of something and waved to Ah Cai,

"Quick, go take a look."

Ah Cai hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Your Majesty, let alone the bad luck of the dead, that is the girl's room. You can't just go there. Just let the imperial doctor and the widower go and take a look."

Luo Lan felt that she was too impulsive. A Cai's words made sense. As a queen, going to the maid's room would definitely arouse criticism from others.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief to calm down her mood, and then ordered A Cai:

"Ask someone to investigate the cause of Cuizhu's death, and call the girl in charge."

"Yes, please wait a moment, I will go now."

After leaving these words, Ah Cai walked out of Fengyi Palace with a solemn expression.

At noon, the manager, Aunt Hu, followed A Cai to Luo Lan. She knelt on her knees and saluted in horror.

"My lady..."

"What happened to Cuizhu?"

Aunt Hu waved her hands in panic.

"I don't know. I only found out about Cuizhu's death this morning."

"Where are those girls? How are they?"

"They are not as serious as Cuizhu. Two girls are a little nauseous, and the rest are dizzy and weak. The old slave gave them a day off."

Nausea, dizziness, general weakness?

These symptoms were exactly the same as those of her poisoning yesterday.

She asked again with a solemn expression,

"Have they eaten anything?"

"We all ate together, and we all ate the same thing. Oh, by the way, the pastry you gave Cuizhu yesterday, she took it back and was eaten by those girls..."

"Bold..."

Ah Cai suddenly shouted loudly,

"Mother Hu, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that the queen poisoned these girls?"

A Cai's words frightened Grandma Hu and immediately shook her head as if pounding garlic.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. I just tell the truth. I definitely don't dare to doubt the Queen."

Luo Lan looked at Nanny Hu and asked again,

"Cuizhu was on duty last night. It's not an exaggeration for her to take some of the leftover pastries from that day. Do you know what the pastries she brought back were like?"

Leng Yu knew that she loved to eat cakes, so he ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a sample for her every day. Therefore, there were a lot of cakes delivered to Fengyi Palace every day, and Luo Lan couldn't finish them all, so he usually asked the girl on duty that day to take them back to everyone. Share and eat.

She didn't expect that one of her good deeds would actually kill Cuizhu.

Indirectly speaking, Cuizhu died for her, so she had to investigate this matter more clearly.

Aunt Hu hesitated and shook her head.

"Old slave, I don't know. These girls are greedy. They will keep some of the things they take back for themselves. Who knows which one of Cuizhu will die after eating it."

Luo Lan saw that he couldn't find out much from Aunt Hu, so he waved his hand to A Cai, who sent Aunt Hu directly away.

Although the murderer who wanted to kill her was not found, she was certain that the poison must have been in the cakes sent to Fengyi Palace.

Yesterday's pastries came from the Imperial Kitchen and Furong Palace, so both places made her suspicious.

It seems that she needs to be more careful in the future.

Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of something and ordered A Cai who had just come in:

"Let's go see the prince."

"Your Majesty, the prince is in class. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go now."

"No, I'm going to see him now."

When she thought that someone was going to poison her, the first thing she worried about was Lele.

Will those who want to harm her harm Lele?

No matter what, she would not allow anything to happen to Lele. She had to see it in person before she could rest assured.

At this time, Lele and Yu'er had just finished class. When they were leaving, Yu'er hesitated and said:

"Let's go to my place! There's something I don't quite understand about the class my husband taught today. Please explain it to me again."

Seeing that Yu'er wanted something from him, of course Lele readily agreed.

"Okay, uncle's business is my business, let's go!"

While talking, they walked towards Yu'er's palace together.

Luo Lan looked around Lele's palace but didn't see anyone there, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Just as she was about to tell Ah Cai to send someone to look for him, she saw the little eunuch beside Lele hurried past her.

Ah Cai quickly stepped forward and grabbed him.

"If you don't bow to the Queen when you see her, are you looking for death?"

When the little eunuch saw this, he knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I was in a hurry and didn't see you."

Luo Lan looked at the little eunuch, frowned and asked:

"What are you anxious about? Where is the prince?"

"The prince is in the young prince's palace. He said that the young prince's tea tasted bad. He asked the servant to go back and get some new tea. The servant was anxious and didn't see you. Please calm down."

Luo Lan finally felt relieved when he heard that Lele was at Yu'er's place.

She waved her hand to the little eunuch,

"Go!"

After the little eunuch saluted, he trotted away. Luo Lan took A Cai and went straight to the palace where Yu'er was.

This was her first time here since Yu'er moved here. Before she could enter, Lele and Yu'er came out after hearing the news.

"Mother, why do you have time to come to my uncle's place?"

Yu'er also asked with some guilt,

"Sister-in-law, do you want to see me if you have anything to do?"

Luo Lan shook his head and chuckled,

"It's okay, I'm passing by and drop by to take a look."

"Sister-in-law, please come inside."

After Luo Lan nodded, he lifted his feet and walked inside.

On the table was placed the tea that Yu'er had just prepared for Lele. Luo Lan thought of what the little eunuch had said and couldn't help but pick up the tea and smell it.

This move frightened Yu'er. He was afraid that Luo Lan would find something else added to the tea, so he hurried forward and said nervously:

"Sister-in-law, this tea is no longer fresh. Please wait a moment and I will ask my servant to make a new pot for you."

Luo Lan put down the tea cup.

"No, I'll sit down for a while and then leave. I just met the young scholar. He said the tea here is not fresh. This smell, it turns out it is not fresh..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something, picked up the glass of water again and smelled it, then winked at Ah Cai, who took out the silver needle from her sleeve...

Seeing this scene, Yu'er suddenly rushed over before Ah Cai could step forward. Without any explanation, he knocked over the tea in Luo Lan's hand, and then knocked over the tea on the table.

Everyone present was stunned when they heard the crackling sound of the tea cup falling to the ground.

Lele looked at him puzzledly,

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

His move made Luo Lan discover the clues.

But she didn't say anything, but looked at Yu'er in confusion,

"Yu'er, why did you break this good teacup?"
