Chapter 1235 The Steward Of The Imperial Library


    Being disturbed by Luo Qingyan, Yun Shang didn''t wake up until the second morning.


    When she opened her eyes, it was already dawn and there was no one beside her.


    Yun Shang sat up, rubbed her sore waist, scolded Luo Qingyan in secret, and called someone in.


    After washing, brushing and having breakfast, Yun Shang thought about how many things she had to


    do.


    She was interrupted by Luo Qingyan when she woke up yesterday, so she did nothing.


    She had received the news at the frontier that Chengye fell off the horse. She was wondering whether


    the one behind it had been found out after such a long time.


    She also heard that her former majesty was in aa. She didn''t know what was going on now.


    And she also needed to take time to interrogate Ming Hong.


    Yun Shang sighed and raised her hand to rub her forehead. There was a lot of things that could only be


    done one by one.


    Yun Shang stood up and asked Pei Lan and Hua Er to follow her to the Taihe Pce.


    "I''ve heard at the frontier that the empress was poisoned and unconscious. How is it going now?"


    Pei Lan hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Her former majesty has already been detoxified and


    waked up, but because of the poison, her body is still a little damaged. During this period of time, she


    has been staying in the Taihe Pce for recuperation. His former majesty has been watching closely,


    and he doesn''t allow her to deal with the imperial household affairs. Except the emperor and the crown


    prince, no one else is allowed to visit her."


    Yun Shang nodded and asked, "The secret guard only told me that she was poisoned. Now tell me how


    her majesty was poisoned. Has the poisoner been found out? "


    "I just heard that after her former majesty dealt with the pamphlets sent to her by every pce the


    other day, she had lunch and had a rest. But she didn''t wake up until dinner time. At first, His Former


    Majesty thought that she was tired, so he let her sleep a little longer. Then he went to wake her up for


    dinner, but she didn''t wake up at all. So he hurriedly called the imperial physician. The imperial


    physician went there and said her former majesty was poisoned. "


    "Both His Former Majesty and his majesty were furious. They ordered the imperial physicians to try


    their best to save her, and immediately blocked the pce and carefully examined where the empress


    was poisoned."


    "The first suspect was the lunch and the pamphlets dealt with by Her Former Majesty that morning.


    However, the poison was found toote. The lunch had been removed, and even the cups, bowls and


    dishes had been washed clean. The pamphlets have already been distributed. It would be difficult to


    investigate. "


    "Later, His Former Majesty said that every time before Her Former Majesty had her meal, the servants


    would carefully test poison, and the cups, bowls and dishes used were iid with silver, and the


    chopsticks were also pure silver. It was really not easy to poison the food, so the key suspect was the


    pamphlets."


    "His Majesty ordered all the pces to hand the pamphlets that Her Former Majesty approved that


    morning..."


    Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn''t help saying, "The pamphlets had been distributed for more than half a


    day. Even if they handed them back, nothing could be found."


    "Yes." Pei Lan nodded, "but it would be good if we could find some clues. So the guards get back all


    the pamphlets, and indeed found something."


    "What is it?"


    "The poisoner should be careful and cautious. He applied the poison evenly on the paper. In this way,


    he could not only guarantee that the person who sent the pamohlet would not be in danger, but also


    ensure that Her Former Majesty would be poisoned. After the pamphlet was distributed, the poisoner


    must have wanted to destroy the traces and carefully wiped the poison on the page. "


    "But because of this, there are some traces left." Pei Lan nced at Yun Shang and continued, "The


    poison should be very small powder. She was afraid that it couldn''t be wiped clean with just a dry


    handkerchief, so she wiped it with a wet handkerchief again."


    Yun Shang suddenly understood, "After all, there were words on it. Even if she had wrung the wet


    handkerchief out, it would still leave some traces."


    "Right." Pei Lan nodded, "The words on the pamphlet are a little blurry. Although it is not obvious, it is


    still easy to distinguish them from the other handwriting on the pamphlet."


    Yun Shang nodded and asked, "Where was the pamphlet from?"


    "The Imperial Library." Pei Lan replied in a low voice.


    "The Imperial Library?" Yun Shang was more surprised. "I guess the Imperial Library rarely hands


    pamphlets, right? There were few affairs in the Imperial Library. By the way, who was the steward of the


    Imperial Library? I don''t even remember who is in charge of the Imperial Library. "


    "There are two stewards in the Imperial Library. One is a maid whose surname is Wang, and the other


    is a eunuch whose surname is Zhou. The pamphlet was sent by Steward Wang."


    Yun Shang nodded and searched for the memory of the steward of the Imperial Library in her mind,


    which really reminded her of something.


    When Luo Qingyan pretended to be poisoned, in order to find out who was paying attention to Weiyang


    Pce, she asked the secret guards to search every ce in the pce where could overlook the


    Weiyang Pce.


    Yun Shang remembered that the secret guards had found two people that night.


    One was from the Shangqin Bureau, and the other was a cleaning servant from the Imperial Library.

    What did the servant say at that time?


    She said that she liked reading, and sometimes she secretly read the books in the Imperial Library


    when there was no one else there. That day, she was reading an interesting book in the Imperial


    Library. But she hadn''t finished it when the light was turned off. She couldn''t help but want to read it. So


    she took the book and quietly climbed up to the Moon Tower next to the Imperial Library with lights on.


    The servant also said that she had done such a thing before, and the steward in the Imperial Library


    also knew it and had scolded her. Later on, the steward''s reprimand was useless. Seeing that she


    didn''t make any trouble, the steward just ignored it.


    Later, she seemed to have sent someone to ask the steward of the Imperial Library. The steward did


    say that the servant was obsessed with books and often did such things...


    Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and wondered who the steward was.


    But judging from this matter, it must be the maid whose surname was Wang.


    Yun Shang ran her fingers through her hair at her temples. She was wondering if Steward Wang was


    targeting at Hua Ling. If not, why did she send the pamphlet when Hua Ling took charge of the Imperial


    Household affairs after she left?


    Thinking of this, Yun Shang stopped.


    That was not necessarily the case. Steward Wang might have poisoned her before...
