When the people in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but look horrified. The Queen Mother asked in a cold voice: "Why is there such a poison in Su Xuanshi's house?"

Qian Yuanming held a jade Ruyi in both hands and lowered his head and said, "It should be this jade Ruyi that attracted the black widow."

Zhang Huan's eyes narrowed, and he saw that Yu Ruyi was white and creamy, delicate and crystal clear, with goose yellow ears falling on the tail. He felt a little familiar. He looked at Lu Qiao secretly, but saw that her face was solemn and nodded slightly invisible.

The Empress Dowager frowned and stared at Yu Ruyi, and asked in a deep voice: "How strange is this jade Ruyi?"

"The problem lies with Yu Ruyi's ears." Qian Yuanming lowered his head and replied respectfully, "This ear is soaked with special medicine juice. When the black widow smells it, it will crawl over."

Zhang Huan's heart skipped a beat. When Su Xuanshi diagnosed her with a happy pulse, he rewarded her with some treasures according to the customs in the palace, including this jade Ruyi. All the treasures were selected by Lu Qiao personally and presented to her for a look before being sent to Mingluanxuan. Lu Qiao was cautious and calm in her work and was loyal to others. It was absolutely impossible for her to do things.

The empress dowager changed her color and looked at Bai Ling, the close maid of Su Xuanshi, and asked, "Where does this jade Ruyi come from?"

Bai Ling stuttered: "It's... it's a reward for the Crown Princess."

The Empress Dowager's face turned ashen, stared at Zhang Huan with sharp eyes, and asked coldly: "Crown Princess, did you really give this jade Ruyi to Su Xuanshi?"

Zhang Huan honestly replied: "Yes."

Su Xuan's servant ran out of the bedroom and knelt straight in front of her, crying in a daze: "Crown Princess, if you have any offense to you, please spare me for the sake of the baby in my womb, and let me give birth to him safely." After that, he kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhang Huan lowered his face and said coldly: "The matter has not been found out yet, what are you doing when you kneel down to this palace?"

Su Xuanshi cried unyieldingly: "Last time, you wrongly accused the concubine of the concubine, and your highness was convinced, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill the concubine. Fortunately, the imperial physician diagnosed the concubine with pregnancy, and the emperor pardoned the concubine. I knew that you hated the concubine in your heart and took away the concubine's favor, and I always wanted to get rid of the concubine." She protected her still flat abdomen with both hands, tears streaming down, "Crown Princess, please give up your hands and forgive me. The concubine swears to heaven that she will leave her Highness immediately after giving birth to the baby, and will never see her Highness again."

Zhang Huan was furious, but his face remained calm, and he said lightly: "There is a god three feet above his head. Do you know whether you kicked me off the cliff? You know. The matter of Black Widow has nothing to do with me."

Su Xuanshi still knelt on the ground and cried non-stop.

The empress dowager looked at her left and right and frowned and said, "Are they all dead? Why don't you help Su Xuanshi up?"

The two palace maids immediately stepped forward and carefully helped Su Xuanshi up.

The Empress Dowager said unhappily to Su Xuanshi: "You are pregnant now, how can you kneel down at any time?"

Su Xuanshi used a silk squid to wipe the tears from his face and choked up, "Empress Dowager, someone wants to kill the concubine, you have to make the decision for the concubine!"

"You cry like this will affect the health of the fetus in your belly." The Queen Mother showed some concern in her eyebrows and comforted her, "You relax, the Ai family will definitely find out the truth about this."

Su Xuanshi sobbed and said, "Thank you Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager said again: "Put a chair for Su Xuanshi."

The little eunuch hurriedly moved the yellow rosewood chair next to Su Xuanshi. Su Xuanshi was flattered and thanked him, and sat down slowly, with a look of pride in his eyes.

The Empress Dowager stared at Zhang Huan and asked in a deep voice: "Crown Princess, what are your explanations?"

Zhang Huan's eyes were clear and bright, and there was no panic on his face. He calmly said: "Grandmother, Yu Ruyi was indeed a reward from his granddaughter-in-law, so Lu Qiao sent it to Mingluanxuan in person. The granddaughter-in-law can guarantee that Yu Ruyi's spikes have no problem."

Lu Qiao knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, all the treasures given to Su Xuanshi are selected by slaves and checked one by one before sending them to Mingluan Xuan. I can testify, but there is no problem with Yu Ruyi."

Su Xuanshi sneered: "You are the confidant of the Crown Princess, so you will naturally help her speak. Besides, these treasures were sent to Mingluan Xuan by you. If you are afraid of your responsibility, you will certainly push them all."

Zhang Huan looked calm and said, "Grandmother, if the granddaughter-in-law really wants to harm Su Xuanshi, he will never be so stupid as to tamper with Yu Ruyi. If you pursue it, the granddaughter-in-law will be the first to escape. The granddaughter-in-law is not a fool, so how could he do such a stupid thing?"

The Empress Dowager's expression moved slightly, frowned and thought. Su Xuanshi pressed the tears at the corner of his eyes with a silk squid and said, "The Crown Princess is extremely intelligent. Maybe she wants to take risks and deliberately put herself in an unfavorable situation to separate her from the relationship."

Zhang Huan's eyes drooped slightly, covering the disgust in his eyes, and said lightly: "When the emperor's grandmother and granddaughter-in-law rewarded Su Xuan Shi Yu Ruyi, she didn't know that she would put Yu Ruyi next to her pillow. If she chose to lock Yu Ruyi into the warehouse, wouldn't the granddaughter-in-law be wasted?" After pausing, he said, "The granddaughter-in-law thinks that all the palace servants in Su Xuan Shi Palace who have the opportunity to contact Yu Ruyi are suspected, and they should be questioned."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "You have a reason. The Ai family will hand them over to Gong Zhengsi for interrogation." Her sharp eyes coldly swept around the palace people kneeling on the ground, and their voices suddenly increased. "Ming Zhengsi is best at torture, but the Ai family doesn't believe it and cannot find this person."

The people in the palace all lowered their heads, with different expressions, either panic, scared, or panic.

A hint of hatred flashed in Su Xuanshi's eyes, and he cursed in his heart, "You Zhang Hun, you actually left yourself clean in a few words." I want to stay out of the matter so easily, but I won't let you do it!"

She picked up the silk squid and covered her face and sobbed and cried: "The Queen Mother, this time the concubine is a great life and has not been bitten by the black widow. I don't know what they will deal with the concubine next time. After all, it is the fetus in the concubine's belly that has hindered their eyes." While saying, she looked at Zhang Hua timidly and continued, "The concubine is cowardly and incompetent, and has a low position. How can she fight them? She also asked the Queen Mother to pity the concubine and save the fetus in the concubine's belly."

The empress dowager moved her eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and looked at Zhang Huan and said, "Crown Princess, no matter what, Yu Ruyi was given to Su Xuanshi. You are indeed suspicious. Before you find out the real culprit, you stay in Jiyue Palace and don't come out and walk around."

Zhang Huan's heart sank, and the implication was to confine her. He took a secret breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "The grandson-in-law obeys the order."

Su Xuanshi curled a smug sneer on his lips, lowered his head, and continued to sob in a low voice.

Zhou Jin suddenly walked into the hall, bowed to the Empress Dowager and said respectfully: "I am hereby order from Your Highness to ask Su Xuanshi for the army of Ping'an."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "She was just a little scared, you can see."

Zhou Jin agreed and walked straight towards Su Xuanshi. The little palace maid stepped forward and covered her wrist with a silk vein. Zhou Jin bowed and focused his mind to put his pulse. After a moment, he said, "The pulse of Xuanshi is stable and powerful, and the fetus is very healthy."

Su Xuanshi said softly: "I am working hard on Doctor Zhou."

Zhou Jin bowed to the Empress Dowager again and said, "I will leave first."

The queen mother nodded. After Zhou Jin saluted, she slowly stepped back and suddenly caught a glimpse of the black widow on the ground. She couldn't help but say "Huh" and said strangely: "Why are there black widows in the palace?"

Qian Yuanming, who had been silent all the time, hurriedly told him what had just happened.

Zhou Jin frowned and thought for a while, suddenly smelled a strange smell, and then sniffed carefully, bowing to the Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, I may have a way to find out the real person behind the scenes."

Zhang Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, and was excited. He looked at Zhou Jin with bright eyes, and he simply regarded him as Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.

The Queen Mother was also happy and asked, "What's the solution?"

Zhou Jin lowered his head and said, "These two black widows are extremely poisonous. It is obvious that someone specializes in feeding them with poisonous spiders. As long as they bite them, they can cause death. Black widow is most afraid of garlic. People who raise it will definitely coat their bodies with garlic to avoid being bitten by it. The Queen Mother just check if anyone in the hall smells garlic, she is the owner of Black widow."

The Queen Mother praised, "Good idea!" and looked at Shizhu again: "Check."

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Huan, Du Qianyu, Xu Qingru, and Feng Shunnu also asked Shizhu to check the smell on her body. The four of them all exuded a faint fragrance, and there was no smell of garlic.

Shizhu walked to the palace people again and sniffed them carefully one by one. In the end, only the two eunuchs had a strong smell of garlic.

The two eunuchs knelt on the ground with a look of earth and rushed to shout: "I am wronged! I am wronged!"

"Shut up." The Queen Mother slapped the table suddenly and asked in a cold voice: "The evidence is as strong as a mountain, and she dares to shout for justice? Are you two dog slaves united to serve the black widow?"

A black and thin eunuch kowtowed like pounding garlic and said in a trembling voice: "Empress Dowager, I am wronged. I have loved eating garlic since I was a child. If you don't believe me, you can ask others."

As soon as he finished speaking, a little palace maid with a round face said timidly: "Empress Dowager, I can testify that Xiao Anzi cannot do without garlic for three meals a day, so he has a garlic smell on his body all year round. Because of this unpleasant smell on his body, it is not his turn to do good jobs around him. Many people in the palace know about this."

The Queen Mother looked at the other palace servants and asked, "Are you serious about this?"

The palace people nodded and said, "Yes."
