Chapter 268

Huilan had just given birth to a child, and it was a rare time for her family of four. It was still very cold in the first month of the year, so she hung a lot of fire beads in the house to keep warm, so that there would be no smoke from the charcoal fire that would cause poisoning.

There was only a copper brazier placed in the main hall to boil some water to keep the maids warm.

Huilan has not yet given birth, but she has taken good supplements, her figure has recovered, her complexion is rosy and good-looking, and her cultivation is slowly recovering, and she only has a few days to go.

Sister Xin lay on the bedside and played happily with her brother. Li Chengze personally named him Li Qian, Qian Kun's Qian.

Huilan calls her son Gan Ge.

Ding Xiang hurriedly entered the door, her expression was not very good.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking like this?"

Huilan looked at her with a smile and asked.

Ding Xiang glanced at Sister Xin and said nothing. Huilan thought for a while and said, "Tell me, Sister Xin has grown up, so she can't understand everything."

"Poison was found in the charcoal fire. The second-class palace maid Xiuyun fell ill for several days. No one knew it was related to the charcoal fire before. She has been ill for several days and has not recovered. Just as Dr. Xu came over to check your pulse, I'm sorry I begged shamelessly and asked Xiuyun to take a look. Unexpectedly, I saw a problem. After searching for a long time, I found out that it was the charcoal fire."

Sister Xin exclaimed, "Poison? To a palace maid? No, what's the value of a palace maid? Only my godfather and I are valuable."

She frowned and muttered.

"That's right, you and Brother Gan are the ones worth poisoning. You are a girl and don't stand in the way of the princes, so no one has thought of you these years, so there is no need to take risks. But Brother Gan is different. He is the son of a noble concubine. In the future, he will be the Queen's legitimate son, so it will naturally make sense to take risks."

Huilan did not hide it from her daughter. She was getting older and she had to understand the dangers that she should know.

Sister Xin's face turned cold, "You bastard! My younger brother was born less than a month ago. He is so wicked! Mother and concubine, we cannot let these bad guys go. We have to protect my younger brother!"

The child's eyes were red with anger. It turned out that they really didn't like us siblings, and we were the thorn in their side.

This realization was a blow to Sister Xin. The peaceful harem also hid such a dark murderous intention.

Huilan raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her daughter's eyes, "Don't cry, they are not worth your tears. Help your mother think about who is most likely to attack your brother. You are old enough to know better." "

Sister Xin pursed her lips and looked at her brother's sleeping face, thinking, "Anyone is possible. According to you, the mothers and concubines of the four brothers are all suspects. But Wang and Yu Ning were born as palace maids, so it may not be so. Very capable, my father has relatively high control over the harem.

Then only the Qian family and the Zhang family are left. My father said that the Zhang family has a soft ear and has always relied on the Qian family. It was only in the past two years that she learned to stand alone, but in fact she did not have much ability and did not dare to Do risky things.

Then the only one left is the Qian family. On weekdays, my eldest brother is the most high-spirited and has a commanding tone towards his brothers, so we know that the Qian family is a decisive and willing person.

Moreover, the eldest brother is the eldest son and is highly praised by his subordinates. Before you came back, I had been playing in my father's study and learning to practice calligraphy. The eldest brother once taught me a lesson and told me to be more sensible and not to bother my father all the time.

I didn't understand at the time, so I asked Aunt Yan. She said that he was jealous of me and told me to ignore it. Putting these clues together carefully, it turns out that Qian is the person with the most courage and reason to do bad things. Get rid of his brother. Big brother’s chances will be one more point.”

Sister Xin’s serious analysis was learned through daily witnessing. She learned it from smart people like Li Chengze and Pei Liang. They would guide Sister Xin to learn to think on her own bit by bit, and would never tell her the answer.

Instead, let her find ways to find clues and explore the truth.

"Very good, the analysis is spot on. Then my mother-in-law will give you a chance. The Yongshou Palace will be managed by you and the people will be mobilized by you. You have the final say on how to investigate and deal with this matter. My request is very simple. Your sister

The younger brother is one, and the flesh should not be separated from the skin. You have to seek justice for your brother, and you cannot ignore him just because he can't speak. I, the Yongshou Palace, will not suffer this disadvantage."

Huilan glanced at her daughter.

"Okay, my daughter will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Sister Xin stood up and said, "Aunt Dingxiang, please come with me to see your father with the charcoal fire in question. You must let your father know about this matter. Then don't tell anyone outside about Xiuyun's illness. Go and find out who it is."

Where did the charcoal fire come from and who handled it. Ask Aunt Qiuyun to go with you. It is best to send a little girl to inquire about it, so as not to alert others. "

"Okay, slave, I'll do it now."

Since Huilan wants to teach her children to be independent, the people below naturally want the right to cooperate.

"I'm going to see my father now."

Sister Xin tidied her clothes, had a stern face, and brought Yu Rui with her. Yu Rui had done well last time and was promoted to a second-class palace maid. She could follow Sister Xin everywhere by her side.

Huilan showed a smile and said, "Let the children do the hard work. Let's work together for the children. You can be my children's whetstones. Won't the knives be sharpened quickly?"

Sister Xin rushed all the way into the study. She comes here every day, and Chang Ji didn't stop her at all.

"Father, father, woo woo woo!"

Sister Xin was already crying as soon as she entered the door. She suddenly threw herself into Li Chengze's arms and began to cry loudly.

"What's going on? Who bullied you? Tell Father and let you vent your anger."

Li Chengze was startled. He held his daughter and looked up and down, thinking that the child was injured.

"Father, someone wants to harm my brother, Xiuyun is sick..."

Sister Xin was crying so hard that she was out of breath and couldn't express herself clearly.

Li Chengze glanced at Yu Rui, who had followed him and was kneeling on the ground, "What's going on? Tell me."

"Back to the emperor, Xiuyun fell ill after inhaling too much charcoal smoke. The imperial doctor diagnosed her as poisoning. Xiuyun is just a palace maid, so she shouldn't be worth such a big fight. The princess said she wanted to harm her younger brother, so she came crying and complained."

Yurui was also very smart and added her own guess.

"I know, you can go down."

Li Chengze's face also turned dark. He knew the reason why the charcoal fire was not delivered to Brother Gan. Huilan was disgusted and choked. The room was full of smoke and smoke, so it was useless. They were all hung with fire beads for warmth. It was still clean. This

That's the reason why they failed.

"Father, my brother is still so young, why is he?"

Sister Xin's eyes were red from crying.

"Don't be afraid. My father is here. What will your mother and concubine say?"

Li Chengze took out the handkerchief and helped his daughter wipe away her tears.

"Concubine Qian asked me to investigate this matter and seek justice for my brother. I guess Concubine Qian did it. She has enough reasons, but I have no evidence. I just sent someone to ask, but it's not necessarily true.

If you can get the news, it may have been destroyed."

Sister Xin pursed her lips and was not very happy. Uncle Liang said that after the bad guys finish their work, they must destroy all clues and evidence as soon as possible.

"If someone dies, someone must have done it, it's not an accident."

Sister Xin thought for a long time and choked out such useless words.

"Very good. Father, I'll help you find a solution. How about you check it out? Sister Xin is very smart and sensible. She knows how to protect her younger brother and seek justice for him. Sister Xin is great!"
