Autumn hunting is a tradition of the emperor's family. One is to show force, and the other is to imply a good harvest.

Among the personnel of autumn hunting, there are members of the royal family, children of nobles, generals and civil servants, etc., and because hunting is a sport for men, it is not recommended to bring family members.Of course, the emperor is an exception. When the emperor goes to autumn hunting, the empress will definitely accompany him, and there will be two extra places for accompanying concubines.

Except for the empress, the other concubines in the harem fought for these two places. For a while, the two father-in-laws, Dafu Dagui, who arranged candidates for the emperor, made a lot of money.But in fact, these two eunuchs are just helping the concubine to name the concubine in front of the emperor, and the emperor has the final say on who will accompany him.

Among the accompanying concubines, Dai Ruoze took one seat, and the other was Concubine Lan.

Not to mention Concubine Lan, he has a high status in the palace, and he is always making weird things. It is very scary to say that it explodes, and no one dares to provoke him.But Dai Ruoze, this little Chang Zai won the favor of the emperor, but he was also honored to go to the autumn hunt with him. This is the rhythm of wanting to monopolize the favor!

The concubines have different attitudes, some are jealous, and some want to curry favor. Therefore, when the list came out, the threshold of Dai Ruoze's remote cold palace was almost broken by an endless stream of men and women.

Dai Ruoze became a celebrity in the harem.

Those who wanted to harm Dai Ruoze restrained themselves after learning that the emperor was going to take Dai Ruoze to the autumn hunt. They did not want to kill people so unscrupulously. After all, the fact that the emperor would come showed that he wanted to protect Dai Ruoze. Yes, no one would be foolish enough to touch the Emperor's mold.Therefore, although Dai Ruoze was very busy receiving all kinds of people every day, he no longer had to worry about not being able to drink water or eat.

Concubine Yu condescendingly came to the Leng Palace, and made a lot of comments on Dai Ruoze's living environment.

The decoration here is not expensive enough, and the artificial hills there are not well-made, which makes the Leng Palace useless—of course, the Leng Palace is a cage for abandoned concubines, and there would not be much gorgeous decoration at all.

Concubine Yu said angrily: "Dai Changzai, Your Majesty regards you as the favor of a sharp-hearted son, why do you still let you live in this cold palace? I remember that the courtyard where Nanchang lives is empty. If you go to live, then It’s one person, one yard, which is about the same size as mine.”

Dai Ruoze said: "Concubine Yu is serious. Your Majesty has his reasons for letting me live in the cold palace."

Concubine Yu said: "What reason can a favored concubine live in a cold palace? Could it be that His Majesty is ready to abandon you at any time and you won't even have to move?" She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Oh, look at me Dai Changzai won't care about me if you say something unfavorable with this mouth."

Dai Ruoze said: "It's my great blessing that the concubine Yu doesn't argue with me."

Concubine Yu observed Dai Ruoze, although this person was favored by the emperor, his attitude towards her was the same as before, and he was not arrogant because of his favor, which made her feel a lot better.

Concubine Yu said: "They are all my sisters. I have nothing to argue with you. After Qiushou comes back, your status will probably have to be mentioned again. At that time, don't forget that my sister is the real one." She took a sip of tea and said, "By the way, you don't need to go to Nanny Rong anymore, she has taught you everything she can teach you, and you have learned very well."

Dai Ruoze said: "I am far inferior to Empress Yubi in learning, and Empress is absurd."

Concubine Yu smiled and wanted to praise Dai Ruoze a few more words, but she suddenly felt a pain in her chest, bleeding from the nostrils and the corners of her mouth, she fell down on the table, her firm chest hit the table fiercely—dead!

Dai Ruoze was shocked, he tested the cup of tea with a silver needle and it was not poisonous, why did Concubine Yu die? !

Dai Ruoze rubbed the lip marks on the rim of the teacup, which was left by Concubine Yu when she drank tea. He wiped off the lip marks with his fingertips, and rolled a silver needle around his fingertips. The silver needles turned black. On the wall of the cup!

[System: You were taken into custody as the first suspect in poisoning Concubine Yu, and you were proven guilty not long after. The emperor gave you a glass of poisoned wine.After your death, the emperor made a specimen of your body, put it in the palace, and slept together every day. 】The plot returns to when Concubine Yu was chatting with Concubine Dai Ruoze, Dai Ruoze dealt with Concubine Yu absent-mindedly, wondering who was responsible for the poison.

There are too many people coming and going to the Leng Palace in the past few days, so there will be more suspects, but Concubine Yu is the first visitor today besides Ruan Zihong, and Ruan Zihong cannot be the murderer, he has never approached the cup at all. , but the other concubines do not seem to be under serious suspicion.Cups and tableware are cleaned every day. Even if the cups are stained with poison, they should be washed off.

Could it be that the person who poisoned him was someone from the cold palace? !But there are not many people in the cold palace...

Concubine Yu picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, but Dai Ruoze quickly snatched the teacup away.

Concubine Yu asked: "What does Dai Changzai mean by this?"

Dai Ruoze said: "This cup was not cleaned."

Concubine Yu said, "Then you can pour me tea in another cup."

Dai Ruoze said, "The tea is cold."

Concubine Yu said, "Then boil the pot again."

Dai Ruoze said, "I don't know how to cook."

Concubine Yu said, "I remember making tea is one of your classes."

Dai Ruoze said: "I didn't learn it."

Concubine Yu was dissatisfied, she just wanted to have a sip of tea, and Dai Changzai just pushed back and forth, this means taking Joe after winning the favor of the emperor, right?

Concubine Yu said coldly: "Dai Changzai, could it be that I can't even drink a cup of tea in your cold palace?!"

Dai Ruoze said: "Hehe, Madam Yu is joking, the tea in my cold palace is really too bad, not worthy of the nobility of your empress, I absolutely can't use such poor tea to humiliate your empress."

Concubine Yu said, "Then give me a glass of plain water."

Dai Ruoze said, "There is no white water."

"You!" Concubine Yu shouted angrily, "Dai Ruoze, don't be complacent! You'd better pray that His Majesty can pamper you for a few more days!"

Dai Ruoze and Yupin broke up unhappy.

Concubine Yu thinks that Dai Ruoze is so dishonest that she doesn't even entertain her with a sip of tea. Is this trying to give her a bad blow? !A mere resident who dares to challenge her, she wants to see what kind of flowers Dai Ruoze can turn out!

Dai Ruoze was depressed, he understood that he had offended Concubine Yu, but he did it to save Concubine Yu's life!These days, it's really hard to be a good person!

Dai Ruoze called Cuihua and Lihua, and placed the poisonous cup between them.

Dai Ruoze said: "I will give a tael of silver to anyone who drinks the tea in this cup."

Lihua asked: "Chang Zai, what are you doing? Want to give us pocket money?"

Dai Ruoze said: "That's right, it's not good to give you pocket money for no reason, I'll find a reason."

Lihua said: "It's great to be with you, I drank it!"

Lihua said that she was going to serve tea, but Dai Ruoze held her down.

Dai Ruoze said: "Cuihua hasn't made a decision yet whether you want to drink it or not. Everyone competes fairly. You decide with rock-paper-scissors."

Lihua said: "I listen to Chang's arrangements!"

The two court ladies played rock-paper-scissors under Dai Ruoze's referee, winning two out of three games.

Cuihua won.

Lihua enviously said: "Cuihua, you are so lucky!"

Cuihua smiled far-fetchedly, and said, "I'm not thirsty, otherwise I'll give this cup of tea to Lihua."

Dai Ruoze said: "Will you bet and admit defeat, this will not be the only competition."

Lihua said: "That's right, next time I will win back this tael of silver."

Dai Ruoze handed the teacup to Cuihua himself, and urged, "Drink it, a sip of tea costs one tael of silver."

Cuihua took the tea with a slightly trembling hand, and tremblingly brought the teacup to her mouth, then suddenly dropped the teacup, and knelt down straight to Dai Ruoze.

Cuihua cried, "Changzai, please spare your servant."

Dai Ruoze pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why do you want me to spare you? You don't want to drink tea so much?" He said regretfully, "What a beautiful cup, you can smash it if you say so. This cup alone is not worth it." It’s a little silver taels.”

Cuihua said: "Chang Zai, I was wrong!"

Dai Ruoze asked: "What did you do wrong?"

Cuihua shook like a sieve, and said, "I...I poisoned Chang Zai's cup!" She kowtowed "Bang Bang Bang", "Chang Zai spared his life. I love vanity, it's me..."

Dai Ruoze said: "Cuihua, you have been with me for a few months, and I don't know what you are." It can be seen from the fact that Cuihua dedicated her body to the emperor in exchange for a position, but if Cuihua was to get poison to poison people herself, she probably would not have the guts. Someone must be instigating behind it, but who is this person? ?This is what Dai Ruoze wants to find out, he asked, "Who asked you to poison me?"

Cuihua Nuonuo dare not speak.

Dai Ruoze asked: "During the Dongshu Cinema, you were also responsible for the poison in my plate of shortbread?"

Cuihua nodded.

Dai Ruoze said: "The court lady intends to poison the concubine, she will be beheaded. If you confess who is behind the scenes, how about I spare your life?"

Cuihua said: "Chang Zai, I can't say it. If I say it, I will die even worse!"

Dai Ruoze said: "If you don't say it, you will die faster."

Seeing Dai Ruoze and Cuihua's battle, Lihua was so frightened, she knelt down with Cuihua, and pleaded for Cuihua: "Chang Zai, please spare Cuihua, she must have something difficult."

Dai Ruoze said: "I want to spare her, but I have nothing to do if she doesn't repent."

Lihua went to persuade Cuihua, and said, "Cuihua, Chang Zai is kind-hearted, please tell the truth, and Chang Zai will forgive you."

Cuihua said: "I really can't say, my family..."

Cuihua's words stopped abruptly, her eyes widened suddenly, and she fell down straight.

Lihua lost her mind and shouted, "Cuihua! Cuihua!"

Dai Ruoze checked Cuihua's breathing and pulse, and they all stopped—she was dead.

[System: You have completed one of the side quests "The Poisoner Behind the Scenes" and won the title "Detective Dai Changzai". 】Dai Ruoze took a deep breath, feeling the discomfort of seeing dead people under pressure—although he knew that this was a game, and Cuihua was an npc on the way for him to break through the plot, but he had lived in this game for a long time, and the people and things around him were all confused. With the real sense, it is difficult for Dai Ruoze to regard these real people as data with high AI.

Dai Ruoze asked: "What's the matter with this side mission?"

[System: When you eat the poisonous shortbread, you will trigger the side mission "Poison Man Behind the Scenes". Cuihua is the first link of "Poison Man Behind the Scenes". "Dou Yi Tui" will give you extra rewards. 】
