"That's a good idea. We'll follow your arrangement."
A few sensible maids in the crowd started to flatter Lin Mengya.
In fact, they stood here early in the morning to show their faces in front of Miss Helan, so that they could have a better future.
Lin Mengya knew this, and these maids knew it even better.
"Since that's the case, I'll follow this young lady. I'll teach you new morning exercises every once in a while. As long as you stick to it, you'll definitely gain something. I have something to do, so I can't accompany you any longer. "
Lin Mengya waved her hand and smiled warmly and gently. She had the bearing of a maid in charge.
Baisu, on the other hand, felt a little strange when she saw Lin Mengya's smiling face.
Lin Mengya had rarely smiled so hypocritically before.
Lin Mengya watched the group of women leave with a smile. It was not until the last one disappeared in front of her that her smile softened.
"Investigate the people from the palace gardens who just arrived today. No matter which palace garden they came from, make a detailed record of them." Ye Zichen nodded. Also, make a record of which palace garden didn't come. "
Baisu nodded. She would do everything Lin Mengya asked her to do.
She didn't expect the concubines in the palace to act so quickly.
In just a few days, the barrier had become so clear.
She had been doing morning exercises since she came to the palace, but it was not until today that there was such a scale.
Speaking of which, they all wanted to show their goodwill in front of the new queen of the harem.
But Lin Mengya knew that many of them came here to sound out Madam Ping.
She naturally had to be on guard against those who should be roped in.
After breakfast, Lin Mengya strolled around, and then returned to the side hall of Fengyu Garden.
At this time, Baisu had put the record on her table.
Lin Mengya picked it up and read it carefully. Her brows gradually knitted together.
However, after reading it, she relaxed. It seemed that the name list did not affect her too much.
"Baisu, who is this Madam Ping? Why haven't I heard of her before?"
She knocked on the name list, and it was written that Madam Ping from Jing Lanyuan had never sent anyone here.
Moreover, the servants of the madams who were on good terms with Madam Ping were all present.
This made it seem like they were deliberately isolating Madame Ping. Or perhaps, their people could bring news to Madame Ping so that she wouldn't have to send people to grind her teeth.
"I heard that she was born into the Ping Family, one of the four wives that His Majesty married after he ascended the throne. However, Madam Ping was usually very cautious and would not easily make things difficult for others. The fourth prince she gave birth to was also not an outstanding person. It was said that he had been engrossed in medicine for the past few years and didn't seem to care much about politics. Madam Ping and Madam Jingrou weren't exactly on good terms, but their relationship wasn't bad either. I've seen her a few times when I was with Young Master. She's a quiet and virtuous person. "
Neutral faction? Lin Mengya looked through the name list. Ning Qiu once said that there should be three madams in the palace besides the Queen.
When the Great King and Empress fell from power, the three of them scattered and went their separate ways.
It seemed that Madam Ping wasn't as pure as she seemed!
"Do you want me to investigate this Madam Ping?"
Baisu had personally investigated the name list in secret, and it was written according to their ranks.
However, Lin Mengya didn't ask about the three madams, nor did she mention anything about the beautiful young master.
She only asked about Madam Ping, which was very revealing.
"No need. You said that she was born into a family of witch doctors. Did she give anything to Madam or Xiaoyu before?"
The reason why Lin Mengya paid attention to Madam Ping was that the other imperial concubines who had children and were born into aristocratic families had basically sent people to look for her.
Lin Mengya was very clear about this.
It was normal for them to come and find out what was going on for their sons.
However, Madam Ping, who usually had a good relationship with Madam Ping, didn't send anyone to look for her. On the contrary, several people who were on good terms with her had all come.
Lin Mengya wouldn't believe that there was no ulterior motive behind this.
"I don't know what she gave to Madam, but when Young Master came back, this madam sent a pair of jade pendants to congratulate him. If you want to have a look, I'll go and get it now. "
Because Wan Yanyu treated Lin Mengya specially, he wanted to give all his good things to Lin Mengya. Therefore, Xiaoyu's things were placed in the side yard next to Fengyu Garden.
It didn't take long for Baisu to get the pair of jade pendants.
The material of this pair of jade pendants was excellent. One was green, and the other was milky white.
When put together, they looked natural, as if they were twins.
"This thing is called the Cloud Pattern Wall, which is said to be a family heirloom of Madam Ping. This pair of jade pendants was cut from the same piece of jade, but one is green and the other is white, which is very rare. A few days ago, Young Master wanted to make some jewelry for you, but he didn't have time. "
Hearing Baisu's words, Lin Mengya couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This was a rare treasure. Xiao Yu, this fellow, was really wasting God's gift recklessly.
Lin Mengya played with the jade pendant in her hand. The warm touch gave her the illusion that it could breathe.
But holding it in her hand, it gave her a different feeling, which made her reluctant to let go of it.
"Eh, what is this?"
Baisu suddenly found that there was a light purple color on Lin Mengya's hand.
If she hadn't been observant, she wouldn't have noticed it.
"This is the secret of this pair of jade pendants. I see. Like I said, it's a miracle to put it in, and it's even harder to get it out. "
Lin Mengya's words made Baisu confused.
What did Lin Mengya mean?
She let go of her hand and put the jade pendant back into the box. Lin Mengya took a piece of cloth and carefully wiped the purple spot.
Since the jade pendant came in, the Shen Nung system in her mind had been warning her.
It said that there was a strong hallucinogenic poison in the jade pendant.
She held the jade pendant in her hand, which was equivalent to doing a full body check on the jade pendant.
She found that all the hallucinogenic poison in the jade pendant was concentrated around the small hole in the middle of the jade pendant.
Moreover, it was inside.
Although the surface of jade felt warm and smooth, it was actually very hard.
To put it bluntly, it was a good-looking stone.
If the poison was to be completely seeped into the jade pendant, it had to be steamed and soaked repeatedly.
Otherwise, it had to be made hollow in the jade pendant to be successful.
Both of these would destroy the jade pendant's appearance.
However, the jade pendant was very warm and had a soft color. It was definitely a top grade jade pendant.
This meant that the poison in the jade pendant was not caused by these two methods.
But even so, it was still difficult to harm someone without anyone noticing.
Jade was naturally hard, so some medicines had to be kept in a jade bottle so that they wouldn't lose their medicinal properties.
Lin Mengya put the jade pendant in front of her eyes and used the Shen Nung system's micro-scanning system to make an X-ray vision of the jade pendant.
Lin Mengya finally figured it out after magnifying it countless times.
However, the exquisiteness of the design made her gasp in astonishment.
The surface of the jade pendant was very smooth, without any flaws.
But in the jade pendant, especially near the middle layer, there were countless holes that were thinner than a strand of hair.
This kind of hole could only be seen clearly with special equipment.
Moreover, there was something added in between the holes.
With her current means, she still couldn't tell what it was.
But the strange thing was that the substance stuffed in the holes was very strange.
According to Lin Mengya's analysis and experimental results, once it came into contact with a heat source, the substance in the holes would melt and stick tightly to the inner wall of the holes.
In this way, the poison in the innermost part could quietly gush out and act directly on the human body.
However, once the temperature dropped, the substance would continue to be stuffed, and people couldn't see the magic of this jade pendant.
What a powerful and ingenious way of poisoning. Lin Mengya was amazed.
But while she was amazed, Lin Mengya was also sure that Mrs. Ping had some bad intentions towards the jade pendant.
"Go and find a basin of hot water, warm will do, but a big basin."
Although she couldn't tell what was in the jade pendant, the poison had nowhere to hide.
Although this kind of hallucinogen was very strong, it was afraid of water.
Once it came into contact with water, the hallucinogen would lose its original effect and become useless.
Baisu quickly brought what she needed, and Lin Mengya did not hesitate to soak the pair of jade pendants in the water.
Under Baisu's surprised gaze, the water gradually turned into a light purple.
It gave off a slightly pungent smell, but the jade pendant didn't change, and was still beautiful.
"Miss, what on earth is this?"
Baisu had seen this jade pendant before, but she didn't see anything purple.
Why did it become like this when it was in Miss's hands?
"This is called Purple Smoke Grass. It's native to the southernmost part of the Lieyun Empire, and has a strong hallucinogenic effect. What's more, this Purple Smoke Grass can keep people refreshed, but make them extremely irritable. Therefore, it's also called Devil Grass, and it's very rare now. "
With the music score for the green stringed instrument, Lin Mengya naturally knew everything.
But this Devil Grass was so rare, could it be given to her by Mrs. Ping's family?
She thought it was possible. After all, the Ping Family was a family of witch doctors, so it was not strange for them to have this kind of thing.
But why would Mrs. Ping put such a precious poison in a pair of jade pendants?
