Jiang Yi slowly shook his head: "This palace maid named Denghua has lost her parents since she was a child. She was sold by her uncle and aunt to a wealthy family to replace their young lady and enter the palace as a slave."

This kind of thing is very common among the people.

The young ladies from the landlord's maternal family were also pampered since childhood and were reluctant to be sent to the palace to serve as slaves, so their families would buy girls from poor families to take their place.

This is against the rules.

But the young lady from the landlord's family needs someone to replace her, and the girl from the poor family can also enter the palace and have a good meal.

It's an open secret.

Denghua is just one of countless poor girls.

Jiang Ning asked: "Did Denghua's uncle and aunt find out anything?"

"No. Denghua entered the palace when she was twelve years old. After entering the palace, she served in Jinxiu Palace. She is now twenty years old. As early as three or four years ago, her uncle and aunt died due to floods, leaving only a pair of children. They are displaced and their whereabouts are unknown, making it difficult to trace them.”

"So Denghua is alone and has no social connections."

"what relationship?"

"It's just relatives and friends outside."

"Friend, after so many years in the palace, no one in her hometown recognizes her." Jiang Yi said, "Dad just found this place and got stuck. He can't continue to investigate."

"Since Denghua can't investigate, why not check the source of the poison? Even the imperial doctor may not know this kind of rare nine-breath. Where did an ordinary palace maid with no relatives get it? "Jiang Ning analyzed it carefully, "Since it wasn't given to her by someone outside, the source must be from within the palace."

Jiang Yi said with a smile: "My sister actually thought of the same thing as our father. He did check the people that Deng Hua came and went with in the palace. They were just a few ordinary palace maids, nothing special."

I checked again and again, but couldn't find anything unusual.

It's impossible for Nine Breaths to run into Denghua's hands on its own.

Jiang Ning bit her finger, thought for a moment, and said, "Then check based on the motive."

"Um?"

"There is always a reason for a person to do something. Let alone something as big as murder? Denghua has served Concubine Jin for eight years. With Concubine Jin's temperament, she will not treat those around her harshly. If there is no special reason, Denghua will not harm herself. Master. Not to mention that she also committed suicide."

"Yes, what could happen that would make a little palace maid not hesitate to harm her master and risk her own life?"

Jiang Ning said: "The reasons for harming people are nothing more than wealth and sex."

She stood up, thought for a moment, looked at her brother, and said, "Third brother, go back and tell your father to find out if this Denghua has a man she likes."

"Probably not. This Denghua only has a few palace maids. She has never been out of the palace for several years. If she likes a man, I'm afraid she can only be the emperor and a few princes." Jiang Yi paused, "Could it be that Denghua Admiring the prince? That's not right. To admire the prince, is it necessary to harm Concubine Jin? That's the emperor. However, she committed suicide herself. She harmed the concubine, but she didn't get involved with him. As for the other princes, then... …”

Jiang Ning saw him scratching his scalp and looking worried, so he smiled and said, "Third brother, can't you think more broadly?"

"how?"

"Who said the only men in the palace belong to the emperor and princes?"

"Shouldn't my sister be talking about those eunuchs? Are eunuchs considered men?"
