Chapter 224 Poison Green Orange
In autumn, various places in the south begin to pay tribute to bergamot, green tangerines and other items.
In the Queen's Palace, these are the favorites to use for making offerings, especially green oranges, which the Queen loves the most.
Wen Mingqian arrived at the Queen's Palace that day and saw a large plate of green oranges on the table in front of the Queen, and the whole room was filled with the unique fragrance of green oranges.
"I have been sleeping peacefully these days with the incense you made. Besides, autumn is my favorite season," the queen said. "You must remember the good times of the year, the most beautiful ones are orange and orange."

"Your Majesty's spirit is really good now," Wen Mingqian said, "just like the weather outside."
"Yes, the autumn air is crisp and refreshing, and I feel refreshed." The queen was very happy, "It would be great if it could stay like this for a long time."
"Your Majesty is blessed with profound blessings, and every day will be good in the future." Wen Mingqian said.
"I'll share some of these green oranges with you. You can keep them in the room." The queen played with a green orange in her hand, putting it to her nose and sniffing from time to time. "I really think this smell is the best in the world." Smell.”
Wen Mingqian thanked the queen and chatted a few more words with the queen before retreating.
The little palace maid took the plate of green oranges that the queen had rewarded and put it into Wen Mingqian's room, and said repeatedly: "Ms. Wen, you are so honorable. The queen of green oranges will not give it to others easily."

Wen Mingqian just smiled and said nothing. She didn't like the smell of green oranges, but she couldn't show it in front of others.
Just like she actually hates the queen, but doesn't show any trace of it.
In fact, this green orange was originally an ordinary thing, but just because the queen liked it, its value doubled and became a rarity in the palace.
Wen Mingqian reached out and picked up a green orange, slowly playing with it in his hand.
While thinking about her thoughts, she gradually became fascinated.
When she came to her senses again and put the green orange down, her hands were already covered with the smell of oranges.
Wen Mingqian twirled his hands and couldn't help but frown slightly.
This taste...
She hesitated and smelled it carefully again.
Something's wrong!
Wen Mingqian is a master of fragrance making and is particularly sensitive to fragrance.
Can clearly distinguish different types of fragrances, even the same type of fragrance, can also distinguish the difference between old and new intensity.
Of course, you can also smell whether the fragrance is pure or impure.
She faintly smelled that the aroma of green oranges was mixed with another smell. This smell was not a common smell, it was indescribably weird, and smelling it too much would make people feel indescribably bored.
Wen Mingqian picked up another green orange and got closer to smell it, but it was still mixed with this strange smell.
The aroma of green tangerines is actually quite strong, and the strange smell is mixed in with it, seemingly there. If it weren't for a master of perfumery like Wen Mingqian, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Of course, even she had to get closer to tell.
If it hadn't been a coincidence today that the queen rewarded her with this plate of green oranges, she wouldn't have noticed it.
Wen Mingqian took the orange to the window and looked at it carefully in the sunlight. I noticed that there seemed to be a faint light brown powder among the lines of the orange peel, which was obviously someone's tampering.
Looking at her hands, you can also vaguely see traces. Someone had obviously smeared something on the green orange.
Wen Mingqian carefully brushed each orange with a brush. Finally, this plate of oranges was brushed with a thin layer of powder, which looked like a layer of dust on the plate.
Wen Mingqian sprinkled some water on it, took the silver needle and tried it, and it immediately turned black.
As she expected, this thing was poisonous.
Who is poisoning the queen?
This man is so brave!
"Mother!" While Wen Mingqian was thinking, Gong Changan walked in.
Wen Mingqian quietly hid the silver needle and asked him: "Where did you come from?"
"I was listening to Master's lecture before I left." Gong Changan sat down and started sneezing, "Why are there oranges in this room? I don't like the smell the most."
"It's a gift from the queen. If you don't like smelling it, just put it away!" Wen Mingqian said, taking a cloth bag and putting all the oranges in it.
"I miss Zhang Ma. It's been too long since I've eaten the food he cooked." Palace Chief An pursed his lips, "When can he come into the palace?"
"If you miss him again, go see him one day when you can leave the palace." Wen Mingqian said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to come in for a while."

"Mother, let's hurry up." Gong Chang'an said, "I feel like I'm just hanging around in the palace now."
"Chang'an, if you have free time on weekdays, you might as well try to go to Yunbin Palace." Wen Mingqian told him, "It's not convenient for me, I'm afraid the queen will be unhappy if she finds out. You are a child, and you can go there occasionally. It’s okay to go.”
"I haven't seen Empress Yun Bin since I entered the palace." Gong Changan said, "I heard that the queen doesn't want to see her."
"Concubine Yun has always claimed that she is ill, and the Queen has acquiesced. Just because she was close to her sister, after her sister's accident, you can imagine her situation." Wen Mingqian sighed, "Now that we enter the palace, we cannot do it due to our status. Bringing people in, I have to slowly find helpers in this palace
Zhang Ma actually told me about a few people, but after all, so many years have passed, and people's minds have changed, so they need to be tested one by one.
In my opinion, the most reliable among these people should be Yun Bin. If she had fallen into trouble like others, she would not have been so unpopular with the queen. ”
"I know mother, if there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely go." Gong Changan nodded.
"Why are you not with the two princes today?" Wen Mingqian asked him.
"The two of them had some quarrels," Gong Chang'an said, "Didn't we say before that we wanted to stir up a dispute between the two of them.
In fact, in the past few years, the two of them have been getting along relatively well, and they have basically never blushed. The reason is that the Crown Prince of Chu has always given way to the Crown Prince of Zhao.
After all, the Zhao family is more powerful, and Ying Tong has a closer relationship with the queen. The King of Chu's family is naturally self-aware, so they avoid the limelight at all times. ”
"Yes, if this continues, there won't be any trouble. The so-called storm started at the end of Qingping, and the contradictions were stirred up little by little." Wen Mingqian said, "The most important thing is to eliminate the competitiveness of the son of the King of Chu. As long as he is willing to fight, it will be fine."
Wen Mingqian and the others had already analyzed it before. The Queen's natal family had deep roots, and King Zhao and King Chu were the right-hand men of the Dong family.
We must find a way to eliminate them one by one.
The best solution is to let them kill each other, which will not involve too many innocent people, and can get twice the result with half the effort.
"I'd say it's not difficult. Ying Bai is a very arrogant person." Gong Changan said, "Wait until I find the right opportunity to stir the fire for him."
"Then you have to remember that you can't do it too obviously, it will be bad for others to catch the clues." Wen Mingqian warned him, "Don't be impatient, the road always has to be walked step by step."
