I wouldn't feel that if you didn't say it.

Fu Dong suddenly mentioned it, and Nian Shilan also felt a hint of the taste.

So he took the thing and put it in front of his nose, then smelled it carefully, and there was indeed a peculiar fragrance.

It was just that there was already incense burning in her hall, and there was a faint fragrance in the air, so she didn't notice it even though she was holding it.

Thinking.

An idea suddenly came to Nian Shilan's mind.

Has someone added anything to this necklace?

"Are you not seeing things? Why do you feel it's strange?" Nian Shilan suddenly looked serious and looked at Fu Dong.

Fu Dong said quickly, "I dare not say anything. My family has been making fine gadgets since I was a child. I have been with my father for a long time, so I observe things more carefully. Your Majesty, you can see that there seem to be black particles in the fine lines, but they are covered by the prosperity of the surface and cannot be noticed for a while."

After she said that, Nian Shilan picked it up and looked at it carefully in her palm.

But she didn't see anything wrong with it.

Songzhi didn't quite believe it either, and watched with her hands in her pockets, "Fudong, are you kidding me?"

"Aunt, I really don't have any," Fudong said, pointing, "Madam, look here, shake the necklace and see if you can see the black particles in it."

After she pointed it out, Nian Shilan finally saw it.

The workmanship is so fine that you can't even notice it.

"Indeed, Zhou Ninghai." Nian Shilan raised her head and looked to the side. "Go to the Imperial Hospital and call Dr. Xie."

Doctor Xie’s real name is Xie Yun. His brother once saved his family members.

Although he saved her life, Nian Shilan didn't know about it before. She only found out about it when Nian Fu mentioned it unintentionally during a casual chat in the palace.

Later, this imperial physician was always by her side to take her pulse.

It can be said that they are absolutely our own people.

Zhou Ninghai lowered his head and said, "Yeah."

After that, Nian Shilan continued, "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and pick out a skilled and careful craftsman. I want someone to open this thing, pour out the contents, and then restore it to its original state. You must pick someone you can trust."

Zhou Ninghai bowed again, "Yes, Madam."

After giving the instructions, Nian Shilan picked up the cup at hand, took a sip, and glanced at Songzhi as if nothing had happened.

Songzhi immediately understood, took off a bracelet from her wrist, walked to Fudong and handed it to her.

"What is this, Aunt?" Fu Dong was startled and quickly waved his hands and took a few steps back.

"Fudong, you've accomplished something. This is a reward from the Queen. Keep it." Songzhi forced a smile and put the bracelet directly into her hand.

Fu Dong didn't dare to accept it, and knelt down, "I am willing to serve you, Your Majesty, and I really don't dare to accept it."

Nian Shilan put down the cup and said coldly, "This palace has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Since you have been helpful to me, I should reward you."

After hearing what the queen said, Fudong took the silver with peace of mind.

Then she immediately reacted and bowed, "Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty. From now on, I will do my best to serve you."

"This necklace today was left by Qin Nuo when she was working in Yikun Palace. You must know that Qin Nuo is dead, and this is the last thing she had."

Nian Shilan directly told the reason of the matter.

The moment Fu Dong heard Qin Nuo's name, his body trembled a little.

These young palace maids used to talk a lot about palace gossip. Qin Nuo flew from a pheasant to a tree branch and turned into a "phoenix", and then turned from a "phoenix" into a lonely ghost without a burial place.

Everybody has heard of it.

"I want to find out who caused her death. Do you understand?"

Nian Shilan raised her eyes and looked at her trembling shoulders.

Fu Dong lowered his head and stammered, "Your Majesty is kind... and loves this servant. It is really Qin Nuo's blessing..."

"No, this is not her blessing. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have died."

She said it directly and straightforwardly.

Fu Dong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"These past few days, you have been quite reliable and loyal. Serving by my side is like walking on the edge of a knife or a fire hole. If you pass it, you will be rich and glorious. If you don't, then you may have gone too far..."

Nian Shilan suddenly paused for a moment, a dangerous smile spreading across his lips.

"That's a dead end."

After saying that, she stared closely at Fudong's small figure kneeling on the ground.

After a while, the frightened Fu Dong finally spoke.

"Since I was chosen by Aunt Songzhi to work in Yikun Palace, I have not thought about anything else. I have done hard work in Xinzheku before, and also worked in the library for a while. I am grateful to Her Majesty for appreciating me and being able to work for Her Majesty."

Fu Dong's round black eyes turned left and right, and he continued speaking with gritted teeth.

"Now, if your Majesty can use me in any way, I will serve you loyally until death."

Nian Shilan smiled, slowly stood up and walked to Fu Dong's side, "What's so unlucky about saying you're willing to die? As long as you follow me loyally, I won't let you down."

After saying that, she personally helped Fu Dong up.

"Okay, follow Aunt Songzhi down to claim your reward. Also, don't forget to make that little jingle-ling gadget from yesterday."

Fu Dong was very nervous. "Yes. Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will do it right away."

Then, Songzhi took Fudong away.

Nian Shilan picked up the necklace in her hand, her eyes slightly raised.

Xie Yun came quickly and Nian Shilan showed him something.

He took the thing and looked at it carefully for a while. It was only after Nian Shilan pointed it out to him that he discovered it carefully.

Then he put it to his nose and smelled it carefully, then he suddenly realized.

Nian Shilan frowned, "Do you know?"

Xie Yun politely said, "Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, a large amount of ice flakes are placed in this thing."

"Borne flakes?" Nian Shilan was a little confused when she heard that it was not musk, "What is this?"

Xie Yun said, "Borneolum is made from borneol resin, and it has the effect of awakening the mind. However, it is important for pregnant women to use it with caution. If used for a long time, it will cause the female's nutrient qi to flow away, leading to miscarriage or even infertility..."

These words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head with what Nian Shilan had guessed in his mind.

The queen was indeed vicious. She could easily make a woman infertile without any warning.

Besides, they had never suspected that there was any trickery involved.

But I didn't expect that she would be so secretive in doing things.

And in Nian Shilan's heart, Qin Nuo's death must be related to the Queen.

Nian Shilan narrowed her eyes, "Are you sure about this?"

"I am 70% sure. Of course, if Your Majesty can pry open the lines and take out a piece, it will be further confirmed." Xie Yun said with his head down.

Nian Shilan nodded slowly, "Okay, Songzhi will bring someone to do it. You must make sure that this thing is borneol."

"Yes, Wei Chen understands."

Nian Shilan propped up her head and thought, then waved her hand, "Forget it, you can go down."

Xie Yun stood up and looked at Nian Shilan hesitantly, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

"What's the matter?" Nian Shilan frowned and looked at him.

"Your Majesty, may I check your pulse today? I see that you look tired and pale." Xie Yun bowed.

Nian Shilan thought, okay, let me take his pulse then.
