Ning Yujin wrote down all her findings and suspicions, asked Eunuch Gao to find Manager Li, and then handed them over to Mo Ye.
After all, it was about the queen and the young prince. As the emperor, he should take this matter seriously.
After this incident, Ning Yujin forgot about returning the golden walking stick, and quickly asked Zisu to send all her small medicine box and tools over, and sent Kunning Everywhere in the palace that might have been touched by Shen Yixuan was checked. Only when it was confirmed that there was no potential danger did they heave a sigh of relief.
After Shen Yixuan took the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep. After Ning Yujin finished all her work, Eunuch Gao also rushed back from the imperial study.
She hurriedly asked what was going on, and Eunuch Gao replied that the emperor was shocked when he saw her reply, and immediately sent someone to control the man who sent the turtle soup, and was currently interrogating him secretly.
In this case, it seems that she doesn't have to worry about finding the murderer.
It happened that Zisu had promised that the palace would have a letter from her. She was afraid that it was news about Mo Jingxiao, so as soon as she finished her work here, she hurried back to Yu'an Palace.
Unfortunately, there is still no information about Mo Jingxiao. The letter was written by Xiangyue.
The letter started with a trivial talk about Bala Bala, telling her to take care of her body, not to eat randomly, etc. Then she talked about the current situation in the house, saying that everything was going well so she could relax, etc. The last few sentences were the key point, saying that Xiangqiao and The date for the third son's marriage has been decided, it will be the eighth day of the next month, and her family has also announced a marriage. The other party is a scholar, and the parents of both parties are already in the process of contacting her.
Ning Yujin was stunned for a moment after reading these last few words, then her eyes turned sore, she tilted her head and cursed: "Damn it, I haven't been back for just a few days, these stinky girls are marrying me off one by one. Got it!"
Zi Su handed her a handkerchief: "Don't be too sad. Xiangqiao's marriage has been prepared since last year. Getting married this year will only happen sooner or later. Didn't you already know that? And Xiangyue My sister is two years older than you. If you don’t get married, are you really going to keep her as an old girl?”
"Who said I was sad?" Ning Yujin wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said sternly, "I just feel that I haven't even gotten married yet, and they are running ahead one by one. It's just that I feel unbalanced."
"..." Zisu didn't bother to comfort her anymore and just rolled his eyes.
But Ning Yujin muttered: "Don't worry about Xiangqiao, they all know the truth. If the mistress dares to bully her, I will peel his cucumber! Even Xiangyue doesn't know what the scholar's character is like. …”
Not being able to check it herself, Ning Yujin always felt a little uneasy. That night, Ning Yujin asked 108 to find someone to investigate the scholar's eight generations of ancestors.
Zi Su couldn't bear to see Ning Yujin worrying about this and that, "You should worry about yourself. If you think about this and worry about that, aren't you afraid of exhausting yourself?"
Ning Yujin's body suddenly stiffened, her eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her eyes and said softly: "I don't dare to stop my head, otherwise everything in my head will turn into that face, all the time. Keep appearing in front of my eyes..."
It seemed that she could reach out and catch it.
Zisu finally understood a little bit and never talked about this topic again from then on.
At Kunning Palace, after the turtle soup incident, Mo Ye personally issued an order: everything entering and exiting Kunning Palace must be carefully checked by the imperial physician. If there is any violation, an eighty-year ban will be slapped first!
As soon as this ban was issued, the number of flatterers suddenly decreased a lot. Even those who came to Kunning Palace to visit the queen were very few, for fear that they might accidentally make some mistake.
As for the person who delivered the soup, I heard that there seemed to be some progress. The people sent by Mo Ye were conducting in-depth investigations in the hope of getting new results.
As soon as Ning Yujin heard that she no longer needed to interfere, she quickly focused all her attention on Xiangyue's future husband.
The shadow guard was also very helpful. He didn't let her wait long before sending the scholar's information to the palace. It was a thick stack and very detailed.
So Ning Yujin quickly asked Zi Su to prepare melon and fruit snacks, and then she leaned on the soft couch and began to study the scholar's information.
The scholar's surname was Pu, and his name was Pu Daoyuan. It is said that his father took it from the meaning of "the road to study is long and the responsibilities are long and arduous", so that he could stay true to his original intention and go further on the road of learning.
It sounded quite similar, so Ning Yujin continued to look down.
Pu Daoyuan's ancestors were officials and seemed to be prefects. Because they died early, there is not much information left behind. Then the prefect's wife relied on the little family property left behind to raise her only son, marry him a daughter-in-law, and...
Two sons were born.
Among the two sons, one was a gangster who was eating and drinking one day and was beaten to the point of paralysis; the other inherited his father's bad habits and became a sour scholar who only knew how to recite poems and write correct poems all day long.
.
And the sour scholar finally married the daughter of a rice shop owner, and then they had Pu Daoyuan.
Why do you need to explain this in so much detail? Because Pu Daoyuan’s family background is a bit complicated. First of all, his grandfather is still alive and unyielding, and then his half-disabled brother-in-law has not gotten married and cannot take care of himself. He is also squatting in his house.
The saddest thing is that Pu Daoyuan's father died at a young age. It was Pu Daoyuan's mother who ran a millet shop. While serving her father-in-law and brother-in-law, she raised her son and made him a scholar.
If Xiangyue is to get married, she has to serve not only her husband-in-law, but also her mother-in-law, as well as the old man and uncle, so why shouldn't she be exhausted to death?
Ning Yujin quickly shook her head and rejected: "No, no, sister Xiangyue has been with me for so many years and has never done any heavy work. I will never agree to marry such a person!"
Aunt Zhu thought she was watching something with concentration. When Zi Su explained that she was looking after her maid, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Since ancient times, marriages have been ordered by parents to find matchmakers.
Zhiyan, how can you, a young lady, say no? Besides, you have to ask the person involved for her opinion on this matter and see what she says before you say anything."
"Xiangyue must have listened to me. She also said that she will never leave me, even if she becomes my sister-in-law, it doesn't matter."
Ning Yujin wrote the letter with confidence, symbolically asking for Xiangyue's opinion. The implication between the lines was that she should kick the scholar down quickly and find a better one for her.
