Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and said, "It's the grass on the shooting range."
"Grass on the shooting range?" Yun Shang frowned with confusion in her eyes.
"Yes." Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, "I've arranged everything, but I only missed this. Although Chengye's horse was already fed and full in the stable, the horse would still eat some grass on the training ground while Chengye was doing preparation. Someone calculated this and put purgatives on the grass there. "
Luo Qingyan sighed, "Actually it's my fault."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and said, "Why should it be your fault? If someone wants to poison, he has always thousands of ways to do it. No matter how careful you are, it is inevitable that you are not careful enough. "
Luo Qingyan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Fortunately, someone has been protecting Chengye all the time. He was just a little shocked but not hurt. After I got the news, the first thing I did was to ask someone to carefully check the horse, and then ask someone to kill the horse directly. From inside of it, we took out the grass that was not fully digested, and found out the reason.
At first I thought the maids were bribed, but later the steward of the stable came and told that the grass used to feed the horse was not the grass from the stable. After careful examination, the servants found that it was the grass on the shooting range.
The shooting range in the palace is usually not used by many people. Only some servants are taking care of it. Soon, the murderer was found. He was a servant in charge of cleaning the shooting range. However, when we went for him, the servant had already taken poison and committed suicide. Thus the clue was lost. I have sent my secret guards to interrogate the people who were close to that servant, and also investigated the source of the poison that he took, but we found nothing. "
Yun Shang nodded. She did not feel surprised about it at all.
Since they dared to take action, they had well prepared.
"It's good that Chengye is fine."
Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "It seems that the palace can never be cleaned up completely and we can never rest assured."
Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand tightly and said, "Thank you."
Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan and smiled, "I'm used to all these. After all, I grew up in the palace. I've seen too many schemes in the palace. If you ask me to be an ordinary person and have nothing to do all day long, maybe I won't get used to it now. "
Luo Qingyan couldn't help but exclaim, "Aren't you used to it? I was thinking about cleaning up the court. And when Chengye grows up, I will hand over this state to him. Then we can find a beautiful place to live in seclusion. If you like to take a walk around, I can accompany you. But since you are not used to it, I'll have to give up this idea. "
Yun Shang coughed lightly and said, "Actually, it's not that I can't get used to it at all. After all, it's easy to get used to the quiet and peaceful life. I can get used to it as long as you are there. "
Luo Qingyan lowered his eyes and chuckled, "I like what you said very much. I'll give you a reward later."
"What is it?" Yun Shang asked with great interest, "What reward?"
"I can't tell you now. I'll tell you tonight."
Hearing Luo Qingyan mention the night, Yun Shang knew it would not be anything good. She waved her hand and said, "Just forget it then. Forget it. I don't want your reward. There's no need to give me that reward."
"Why not?" Luo Qingyan smiled, "The reward and punishment are clear. It's the rule of the emperor."
Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan without saying anything.
A eunuch's voice came from outside, telling that an official was asking to see his majesty.
