The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Besides, Chu Jian was taken to Baohua Palace by the nanny, and she was cleaning up the mess she had made last night bit by bit. Thinking of Jing Muyang being beaten, her hands and feet unconsciously moved much faster.

The things on the ground were easy to clean up, and the window paper was also replaced. The only thing left was the ashes in the incense burner that needed to be sifted out and refilled.

The big incense burner was not small. Chu Jian used an ash rake and a small shovel to scoop out the incense ashes and sift them through a fine mesh. The debris needed to be wrapped with red paper. The sifted incense ashes had to be filled back in at the end, and it had to be filled to 80% full.

Chu Jian didn't understand, so the nanny taught her all these. She was anxious to go to Yonghe Palace to see Jing Muyang. She heard that he had been carried away and was badly beaten.

However, just as she was sifting the incense ash, something unexpected happened.

In the sifted residue, she found some small red particles, about the same size as white sugar crystals and dark red in color.

Why did it look familiar? She pinched it in her hand and twisted it. It was rough and not faded. She put it under her nose and smelled it. It had a faint fishy smell. Suddenly, a name popped into her mind: Wuxingsan!

After burning, Wuxing Powder turns into red crystals with a fishy smell. The smell is correct, but the color is brighter than this one.

When he first saw it, he was nervous, as he couldn't find any clues in the entire palace before. He didn't expect to hit the jackpot today.

But what to do? At this critical moment, there is no one around her. The emperor is afraid that she will not do it herself, so he specifically does not allow anyone to come in to help. He cannot send someone inside to report the news. What if it is the people in Baohua Palace who want to harm the emperor? Then she will leak the news and destroy the evidence. Maybe she will alert the enemy and lose her life!

There was not much ash left in the incense burner, and the altar was a little high. Chu Jian was holding the ash rake with a lot of thoughts in her mind, and she didn't pay attention, and the incense burner tipped over and fell to the ground with a thud. Fortunately, it didn't hit her feet, and fortunately it didn't break, otherwise she would have been scolded again.

Chu Jian bent down and wanted to put the incense burner back on the table, but the nanny outside who heard the noise came in and was stunned when she saw it.

"Princess Zhan, did you knock over the incense burner?"

"I didn't do it on purpose. I just picked it up and put it away. What's the big deal?"

She rolled her eyes at him when she first saw him. It was this nanny who didn't respond to her no matter how she called her yesterday, and even said a lot of nasty things.

"I'm so sorry, please have mercy on me, Buddha, please forgive me!" The nanny knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Buddha several times. There were even a few nannies outside who heard the noise and came in, also kneeling on the ground and praying devoutly to the Buddha not to blame them.

"Princess Zhan, knocking over the incense burner will alarm the gods and make the Buddha angry. You will be punished by the gods!"

The old nanny was a Buddhist and was afraid that Princess Zhan would get into trouble again, so she immediately sent someone to inform the emperor and the empress. To her, this would disturb the Buddha's light in the royal family, and she could not afford it.

I haven't recovered from my shock yet. What did the old lady say? Is this blasphemy? Is the Buddha so stingy?

But this should be able to lure the emperor over, so that's good.

Chu Jian looked at the golden Buddha seriously. She didn't know whether knocking over the incense burner was a blasphemy to the gods, but it seemed that the Buddha helped her a lot.

*

The emperor and Dean He had just come out of Yonghe Palace when they learned that Chu Jian had knocked over the incense burner in the Buddhist temple. He was so angry that he had a headache again. Why is this girl so troublesome? I'm afraid she really needs to be punished.

When the emperor arrived at the Baohua Hall, he was first seen sitting on the ground, drawing circles and playing with incense ash!

Several maids knelt by the side trembling with fear. They must have been reminded before but Princess Zhan didn't listen.

"First meeting!" the emperor shouted angrily.

"Father!" Chu Jian's eyes lit up. Fortunately, the emperor arrived first, and Dean He was also there. It was great. It seemed that the Buddha was really helping her.

"Father, I just happened to have something very important to discuss with you!" Chu Jian said to the maids, "All of you get out."

The maids naturally ran fast, but Chu Jian didn't forget to follow and close the door, "Eunuch Liu, don't let anyone in."

Eunuch Liu stood beside the emperor, smiling and not moving.

"Chu Jian, you are getting more and more daring. You even dare to order my people around! Do you think you can get away with it by just driving the maids out and closing the door?" the emperor was annoyed.

"Father, I didn't mean that. I did knock over the incense burner. Although it was not intentional, I am not denying it." Chu Jian glanced at the door and lowered his voice, "But now I have a more important discovery, Father. I found the Five Forms Powder in the palace."

"What?" The emperor looked at her in disbelief. Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu immediately went to the door to prevent anyone from approaching.

Currently, only a few of them and the Crown Prince know that the Emperor and the War King have been poisoned, and no clues have been found so far.

“Father, Dean He, come and have a look.” Chu Jian was picking up the incense ash again. Some dark red crystals appeared where she had just drawn a circle. “I covered it up on purpose, fearing that the maids would know that I had discovered this.”

"What is this?" asked the emperor.

Dean He also twisted it and smelled it just like he did before they first met.

"Your Majesty, this is the mark left after the burning of the Five Form Powder. After the burning of the Five Form Powder, it left behind tiny bright red, fishy-smelling crystals, which gradually darkened over time. Judging from this color, it should be the residue left when the emperor was poisoned half a year ago."

"Master He, are you serious?" The emperor was recalling the situation at that time, and a figure popped up in his mind, but he was unwilling to believe it.

"Really?" Dean He knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, I am over sixty years old. I have been in the Imperial Hospital for decades. I watched you grow up. The late emperor asked me to take good care of your health. How dare I say anything nonsense? How could I say anything nonsense?"

"Please stand up, Dean He. I trust you." The emperor believed in Dean He. He just didn't believe that the figure in his head would do such a thing. It shouldn't be possible.

"Father, who are you thinking of?" Chu Jian looked at the emperor's sad expression.

"You haven't told me how you found out?" The emperor would also be suspicious of her. She had the Five Form Powder on her. What if the person behind her deliberately set up a plan to frame her? That would be an easy task.

"I was just sifting out the incense ash and I found it. I also accidentally knocked over the incense burner when I went to check what was inside." Chu Jian muttered softly.

The emperor glared at her, then came to his senses. He first met her half a year ago because of a burial, and this time he was temporarily summoned to the palace because of him, so she would be fine.

Not to mention that what happened in the Buddhist temple half a year ago was indeed profound...

"Your Majesty, the Queen should be here soon." Eunuch Liu reminded in a low voice.

"Well, open the door." The emperor turned back and stared at Chu Jian again, "Hurry up and clean up this place. Pretend you know nothing and keep it to yourself!"

"Why?" Chu Jian Yuanmu was puzzled for a moment, then he immediately covered his mouth as if he suddenly realized something, then lowered his head and knelt on the ground to clean up.
