The potion prepared by Yun Xi can indeed gradually take effect on an important drug in Tridentine Bitter Poison, but it will take half an hour for it to appear.

During this period, as long as it has been exposed to poison, whether it is washed or rubbed, the effectiveness of the herbs prepared by Yun Xi will not disappear.

Yun Xi inspired everyone to "prove their innocence", and invisibly "favoured" everyone, which was actually more clever than forcing everyone to act.

But, is Miss Shen Qin, the first one to come forward, too loyal to Concubine De, or is she too wary of herself?

Due to her intuition after many cases, Yun Xi still believed that Cui Yun and Shen Qin were the most suspect.

She gently stirred the decoction on the stove, and when the time was almost up, she filtered out the decoction and brought it to Concubine De's bedside herself.

Concubine De was detoxified, and after a rare peaceful sleep, she was woken up by Yun Xi.

She opened her eyes impatiently and saw a beautiful little face. Concubine De was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know whether she was awake or dreaming.

Yun Xi said warmly: "My queen, please take the medicine first before going to sleep? This medicine can not only remove the remaining poison, but also calm the mind and nourish the body."

Before catching the real culprit, Yun Xi didn't dare to borrow the help of others during the whole process of decoction and delivery of the medicine, for fear that the culprit would take advantage of him again.

If you don’t reach out to hit someone with a smiling face, let alone a conscientious doctor?

Even though Empress Dowager De was unhappy, she drank the bitter medicine in one gulp with Yun Xi's considerate support.

After helping the empress to lie down again, Concubine De lost her sleep for a while: "How is the investigation going?"

"There are some features, we have to wait." Yun Xi nodded.

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news." As soon as Concubine De heard about Yun Xi's progress, she became more probing.

Perhaps the effects of the medicine were beginning to take effect, and Empress Dowager De Fei managed to say a few more words before falling asleep again.

Yun Xi helped Concubine De to tuck herself into bed and came to the outer hall.

"Miss Cuiyun, I am not familiar with Chu Xiu Palace. I would like you and Miss Shen Qin to assist me in asking for everyone's confessions."

Cuiyun nodded: "I will make arrangements right away."

Shen Qin's eyebrows showed a hint of excitement, and he followed Cuiyun and whispered: "It's finally time to interrogate the confession. I read this in the script: after questioning, it will be inferred that the murderer will be poisoned soon.

You can be arrested..."

"You, please read less of the book." Cuiyun said nothing to Shen Qin's words.

Yun Xi watched the two of them leave, with bursts of light filling her clear eyes.

Soon.

Just as Miss Shen Qin said, when Yun Xi asked for a confession, he intertwined everyone's actions in half a month.

She asked and recorded at the same time, and Cuiyun and Shen Qin looked at the strange symbols written down with curiosity.

After everyone had finished asking, Shen Qin pointed to the strange picture with vertical lines and dots on the table, "Miss Yun, what does this mean?"

I have no idea what these confessions mark.

"Didn't the father-in-law who was guarding the gate just now say that he was on duty at night and no one came in and out of the palace at will? Only Miss Shen Qin was ordered to go to the Imperial Hospital and came back empty-handed."

Yun Xi pointed to the small symbols on it and explained to Shen Qin what each of the symbols she drew represented.

Cuiyun also raised her neck to look at it curiously, but felt that it was quite indecent to act like this, so she retracted her head with a smile.

"I understand. Does this line mean that Fuchen just said that she never left the palace yesterday, so she drew a circle?"

Yun Xi was surprised, "Miss Shen Qin is extremely intelligent, that's what she means."

Shen Qin raised his eyebrows proudly and looked at Cuiyun as if taking credit. Then he picked up a "confession" drawn by Yun Xi, cleared his throat and read: "The day before yesterday, Ranzhu went to Zhongcui Palace to give a gift to the imperial concubine.

Soup soup, after returning home, I broke off a few peonies and presented them to the empress’ study. Is that what you meant? Then I will continue..."

Shen Qin confirmed that her retelling was correct, but she was not satisfied and recited all the confessions just now.

This move helped Yun Xi a lot. She quickly drew a map of the walking routes between Chuxiu Palace and other palaces on another piece of rice paper.

Today, Yun Xi walked from the entrance of the palace to Chuxiu Palace and spent half a stick of incense. The concubines of the palaces only walked around the harem, and it took about half a stick of incense to go from Chuxiu Palace to Zhongcui Palace where the noble concubine lived.

…

The more Shen Qin thought about it, the more complex Cuiyun's eyes became, but the faint worry in his eyes did not affect the heartless Shen Qin at all.

By the time Shen Qin finished reciting all of it, Yun Xi had a complete idea of ​​everyone's behavior before and after half a month.

"Now, can you please recall what you did from today to more than half a month ago?" Cuiyun and Shen Qin were the only ones who did not record their confessions.

It's finally here.

Cuiyun had known that she and Shen Qin would not be able to escape.

In fact, she knew better than anyone else that she and Shen Qin were the most suspicious.

The strange thing is that Yun Xi must have doubted the two of them, but Ke Zhi did not show any trace of suspicion, and even asked her and Shen Qin to participate in helping solve the case... What exactly was Yun Xi thinking?

"Let me tell you first." Cuiyun pondered for a moment, then recalled it carefully and spoke eloquently.

Yun Xi didn't feel anything strange during this period. She just nodded to show that she understood, and then let Shen Qin continue talking.

Shen Qin had a calm and generous demeanor and spoke crisply. He even explained why he didn't get the medicine from the Tai Hospital that day.

The two eldest maids are less suspicious than the others.

Yun Xi got up and took the confession back to the inner hall, leaving the two palace maids and the monk Zhanger confused in the outer hall.

"Miss Yun is so strange," Shen Qin was confused. Why was this confession completely different from what was stated in the script: "You won't explain it to us either?"

The confession was made and the poison was known, so why didn’t the suspect even tell the truth?

Cuiyun said helplessly: "I told you to read less of the book. So what if you have a suspect in your mind? The key to solving crimes is to 'take both the person and the stolen goods', so you have to catch him in action, right?"

The poison on the empress has been cured, and it is unpredictable whether the criminal will act again.

If Cuiyun was a murderer, he would definitely not take risks at this time.

There was a bit of panic in Shen Qin's eyes, "Sister Cuiyun, don't scare me. The criminal won't attack again, right?"

Cuiyun patted Shen Qin's hand and said something comforting. Suddenly a little palace maid came in from the door and said that Ranzhu was injured and asked Shen Qin to go and have a look.

Cuiyun wanted to go together, but was stopped by Yunxi before leaving.

Until Shen Qin left, Cuiyun's face darkened, and she looked at Yunxi a little more defensively: "What do you mean, girl?!"

Don't think that she doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Yun Xi's gourd. She just clearly wanted to put away Shen Qin on purpose.

Yun Xi was surprised when she heard this, then she raised her eyebrows and said, "The civilian girl was just ordered to capture the murderer, she has no other intentions."

"You doubt me?" Cuiyun's face darkened: "Then I'm afraid I need Miss Yun to come up with some evidence to be convincing!"

Yun Xi sighed: "Yes, you still need evidence of guilt."

She whispered a few words in a voice that only she and Cuiyun could hear, and Cuiyun's face suddenly changed.

After a while, Yun Xi said a few more words, Cui Yun's eyes heated up, and she finally nodded in agreement.

While the two were talking, Concubine De's call came from the inner hall. Yun Xi and Cuiyun quickly entered the hall and helped Concubine De to get up.

After dressing up again, Empress De was less morbidly haggard and more noble as she commanded the fourth concubine. She slightly raised her hand to hold Yun Xi's wrist and said in a deep voice: "Yun Xi, are you really sure?

"

"Yes." Yun Xi raised her clear eyes and looked directly at the aloof Concubine De, "The time has come."

Concubine De sighed softly and said to Cuiyun: "Help me go and have a look."

"Yes." Cuiyun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and helped his master stand up.

The medicine Yun Xi gave to Empress De Fei not only refreshed her mind, but also allowed her to get up after half an hour.

Now the criminal must have been trapped, and he just needs to be caught.

In the side room of Chuxiu Palace, Shen Qin was washing her hands by the basin, as if she was playing hard-earned money for no money, and her wrists were all red.

She looked half panicked and half amazed, and she murmured, "What the hell is this? Why can't it be scrubbed off at all?"

"Of course it can't be rubbed off, it needs an antidote."

Yun Xi didn't know when she stood behind Shen Qin, her clear eyes filled with scrutiny and compassion.

"Miss Yun, you scared me!" Shen Qin said sheepishly: "I didn't know what I bumped into before, and my hands were all black and black. But will the empress wake up and call me? Just wait a moment, I will come after washing my hands.

.”

Until this moment, Shen Qin had no consciousness of being exposed by her actions.

Yun Xi had already expected that Shen Qin would not bow down and plead guilty, so she couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Shen Qin, I just said that the poison on your hands needs an antidote to wash it away."
