Ye Zhen Zhen is staring in a daze while looking at a piece of mooncake.
The mooncake is a white snow skin mooncake, with shrimps inside. Ji Wu Jiu has people purposely made for Li Concubine, and because the taste does not suit the rest of the consorts and even Ji Wu Jiu, every year this type of mooncake is only made for Li Concubine.
The only mooncake with problem, is only this snow skin shrimp mooncake. Yesterday night, when Li Concubine wanted to eat the mooncake, she took some out first to feed the black cat in her arms, but who would have thought, immediately after eating, the cat died.
According to the imperial doctors, inside the mooncake, something called "Xiang Fei Zi" was added. This thing is made from some fruits from the southern side. When smelled carefully, there will be a slight sourish smell, and does not really attract the attention of people, but when eaten there is a special flavor. This "Xiang Fei Zi", can be used to cook, and also used as medicine however it cannot be mixed with shrimp to be eaten, if not one will appear to be poisoned or if not worst, death.
Ye Zhen Zhen already ordered all chefs that day to be detained and questioned, the kitchen has also been thoroughly searched, there was still no signs of the "Xiang Fei Zi". This item is made from the south and is hard to get, not to mention low production, and also the northern people also doesn't really like it, therefore it is not in the list to be purchased into the palace. Though there is some in the doctor's office, but according to the inventory list, there was no one using it or even any that has gone missing.
Therefore, the only other option is to obtain it from outside and someone were to stealthily got it in the palace, and if it were really the case then, it will be hard to solve.
Ye Zhen Zhen, also questioned the guards guarding each gate, and did not get any clues as well, all of them said they were doing everything according to the rules and did not detect any abnormality. Ye Zhen Zhen did not want to use torture to get the answer, and even if she were to get the answer that way, Ji Wu Jiu is not easy to fool. This time it seems that he purposely made her do all the work. Only afraid in the future there will be more to come.
In other words, if anything were to happen in the inner palace, she will be brought to be reprimanded one round, and after scolding she will still need to clean up the problem, if not with a "Inner palace not peaceful, empress not worthy" title will be given to her, there will be no place for her to even cry later.
This method really is cruel and evil.
Alright, even though at this moment he can't do this yet, but it will be hard to say in the future.
That's why Ye Zhen Zhen does not want to leave too many faults in the hands of Ji Wu Jiu, especially the obvious types.
Therefore, Ye Zhen Zhen continued to stare at the mooncake, trying to find for any clues at all.
Another problem with this case is that the people that could be involved are too vast. Li Concubine has been in the palace for many years, she has worked her way up to her current status, and it's already a miracle. But in this palace, even a little eunuch can be the culprit, no need to mention Xian Concubine and Xi Consort, these people that does not really have a good relationship with her. Even the emperor can't be out from being suspected, this item after eating will most probably get poisoned, not necessary will be lead to death. There is also Li Concubine herself, she did not actually sustain any injury, it could be that she acted this play herself to get pity and also to frame people that she doesn't like.
Ye Zhen Zhen is gonna lose it while thinking about this matter. Who on earth did this, if I find out I will definitely cut that person into a thousand pieces!
***
The next day during lunch time, when due to the case, Ye Zhen Zhen did not have appetite, Ji Wu Jiu was eating happily and even added a bowl of rice.
After lunch he dropped by Kun Ning Palace to kindly remind Ye Zhen Zhen, that she has one day left.
Without an expression, Ye Zhen Zhen looked at him " If I can't solve the case, what do you plan to do?:
Ji Wu Jiu replied " You are my empress, I would not punish you for sure"
Only Ghost will believe you!!
"I will only note down another fault by you, oh right, you already have 2 in my hands"
"Which was the second time?"
"Poisonous Mooncake"
"There is still time, how would you know if I wont be able to solve it?"
"What I meant, was the poisonous mooncake you made"
"…."
