Meng Xiyu looked at Gu Shuiyue with a blank look, her heart was happy, but her face was solemn and said: "Mother, concubine, the concubine suggests that you don't have to eat first, if more people eat and your stomach hurts, it won't be good for the reputation to spread by then." “

This is the old princess's fiftieth birthday banquet, and the good birthday banquet suddenly stopped, and the old princess got up happily. She sat there with a cold face, silent, just looking at Gu Shuiyue, wanting her to give an answer.

"Sister, you have something to say!" Meng Xiyu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Mrs. Chen Guo's screams became louder, sweeping away all the Yaxing of the birthday banquet, and many people couldn't eat it, so they put down their chopsticks and concentrated on enjoying this farce.

"Mother, the concubine thought that she had to find the cause of the stomachache of the three first. Gu Shuiyue said, "If the three of them have stomach aches for other reasons, they will come to see the doctor, and they will not affect your Yaxing." “

The old princess groaned for a moment, then nodded.

This is indeed the best outcome.

If so, the dinner could still go on, and what happened now was just a little farce.

If there was a problem with the meal, then there would be no way to continue the dinner, and the old princess's fiftieth birthday would end without a problem.

Meng Xiyu knew that this could not have a good result, because the problem appeared in the wine.

Meng Xiyu clutched her stomach, and the expression on her face became even more painful.

Gu Shuiyue walked in front of Ashina Yan: "Yan'er, what dishes did you just eat?"

Ashina Yan pointed to a few dishes in front of him, and Gu Shuiyue asked Meng Xiyu and Mrs. Chen Guo the same question, and Gu Shuiyue tasted all the dishes they pointed out.

After waiting for half an hour, there was no problem with her stomach.

"Yan'er, how does your stomach hurt?"

Ashina Yan covered his lower abdomen: "There is a pain here." “

asked Meng Xiyu, Meng Xiyu covered the position of her upper abdomen: "It's very swollen and uncomfortable." “

Asked Mrs. Chen Guo again, Mrs. Chen Guo also covered the position of her upper abdomen, Gu Shuiyue stretched out her hand and pressed it on Mrs. Chen Guo's upper abdomen, and Mrs. Chen Guo looked at her with a strange expression.

"If it hurts here, I press the position just now, and the person who is pressed will feel even more pain. Gu Shuiyue said.

Mrs. Chen Guo screamed in pain in hindsight.

Gu Shuiyue stood up: "Madame's stomach ache is not caused by the food, is it? “

"Sister, in addition to the meal, you also missed a place. Meng Xiyu said.

"What place?" Gu Shuiyue asked.

Meng Xiyu's gaze fell on the wine cup: "Wine." “

She felt that she needed to remind Gu Shuiyue and help her find the problem.

Gu Shuiyue walked in front of Meng Xiyu, picked up her wine cup, and poured the wine in her cup into the wine cup, which was just full.

Meng Xiyu's face was a little unsightly.

"My sister's wine is full, which means that my sister has not drunk alcohol. In that case, why did my sister conclude that her stomach hurt because she drank this wine?" asked Gu Shuiyue.

"This ...... I just think it's possible, maybe it's something else. “

"Madame's stomach ache is not caused by the food. Gu Shuiyue looked at Mrs. Chen Guo, "The real reason is the heart." “

Gu Shuiyue's eyes pierced into the depths of her heart like a sharp sword. Mrs. Chen Guo was a little weak by her, she was originally depressed, so she used the topic to play when she heard that other people had stomach aches. She was told the truth by Gu Shuiyue, so she didn't bother to pretend: "Mrs. Ben just had a stomachache, but now she is better." “

Gu Shuiyue looked at Ashina Yan: "Sister Yan'er has a pain in her lower abdomen......"

Ashina Yan thought for a while and said, "I just thought that I was coming to the menstrual period, and after drinking a little wine, my stomach hurt. “

She had always been very aggressive, and she said it directly.

"Now there is only Sister Meng left, Sister Meng's food has not touched chopsticks, and she has never drunk wine, what is the reason for the stomachache?"

At this time, Meng Xiyu had already reacted, and naturally knew that she had been tricked.

This feeling is very familiar, she dug a pit for Gu Shuiyue, but now, it has become her own pit.

"I think it's something else. Meng Xiyu said with a stiff face.

The cause of the stomachache in all three was found, and it was not caused by the food. Gu Shuiyue announced this to all the guests, and the dinner continued. The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the cool breeze entered the bamboo forest, responding to the rustling sound, which had a unique artistic conception.

The dinner party is getting better, but some things are not over.

"Mother, the concubine has something to report. Gu Shuiyue whispered in the old princess's ear.

The old princess looked at her solemn face and nodded. Gu Shuiyue also called Meng Xiyu, and the three of them entered a courtyard together. This courtyard is not far from the place where the dinner will be, and if you call it in this courtyard, the people who are attending the dinner can hear it.

Gu Shuiyue asked the old princess to sit down on the first place. Meng Xiyu stood beside the old princess, looking at the shadows of the trees, the cold wind blowing, her whole body was cold, and she also had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Shui Yue, do you have to talk about it now?" the old princess asked, obviously a little unhappy.

"Mother, if there was no farce just now, the concubine wanted to expose it, but the concubine endured it again and again, but now there is no way back, and she has to explain this matter to the concubine. Leisure, let people bring people up. “

Soon, a person was brought up and forced to kneel in front of the old princess. This person is none other than the old woman who served in front of Meng Xiyu before.

Meng Xiyu's mind was in chaos, she vaguely knew what Gu Shuiyue wanted to do, she took a deep breath and forcibly calmed herself down.

"This old woman drugged ten jars of wine, and she intended to ruin her mother's birthday feast. Gu Shuiyue said.

The old woman hurriedly said: "Old lady, the old slave has served you for so many years, and has always been loyal, how could he do such a thing?

The old woman is actually not flustered, because she is clearly ruthless, there are four women here, she is Meng Niangniang's person, Meng Niangniang is the old lady's person, the three of them are one, and Gu Shuiyue is alone. Whatever the truth, the old lady will be on their side.

A jar of wine was sent to the old princess.

"This wine is drugged, and people will have diarrhea after eating it. If it weren't for the concubine who temporarily changed all the wine, then the guests would be poisoned at this time, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Gu Shuiyue said.

"Does my sister want to ask for a reward from my mother? But that's my sister's job. Meng Xiyu said.

"This is indeed the concubine's job, but the concubine is upset that there are people in the palace who deliberately ruin the reputation of the palace. As long as the inside of the palace is solid as a rock, the outside cannot be broken, but if it rots from the inside, the consequences will be unimaginable. “

The old woman and Meng Xiyu were stunned, they didn't expect this matter to rise to the level of the palace.

With such a big hat buttoned down, the old woman was a little panicked: "Old lady, the old slave has been serving by the side concubine's side, and she has never done such a thing." “

The old lady looked at Gu Shuiyue.

Gu Shuiyue said: "Mother, there is evidence for the concubine. “

The evidence was a drug from the old woman's room, and the witness was the servant who guarded the wine store and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

Under the human and material evidence, it was confirmed that it was this old woman who was doing things in the wine.

The old woman was stunned.

The old lady stroked the jade wrench on her thumb and fell into deep thought.

"Lianxiang, you have been by the old man's side for more than ten years, and you have done such a thing that damages the palace. When the old lady spoke again, she had already made a decision.

She chose to lose her pawn again.

The old woman couldn't react at this time and planted it herself.

Meng Xiyu's cronies, from Cai Qing to Ru Xiu, to her old woman, all ended up like this. She was twice as old as those two girls, and she actually fell into Gu Shuiyue's hands.

When she looked at Gu Shuiyue again, her eyes were no longer just frightened.

After all, she lived for decades more, did not argue or quarrel, knelt there, and silently confessed to the crime.

Seeing the old woman confess her guilt without arguing like this, Meng Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

is the same as Cai Qingru Xiu, this time it is the same result. However, Gu Shuiyue didn't want to endure it any longer.

"Mother, the concubine feels that this matter is more than that. Gu Shuiyue said, "As the mother concubine said, this old woman has been serving the mother for more than ten years, and the mother is discerning, and if she is willing to stay by her side, she trusts her." The result of her drug was twofold, first, to disturb the birthday of the concubine, and second, to destroy the reputation of the palace. The concubine couldn't figure out why this old woman would do such a thankless job. “

Gu Shuiyue paused for a moment and continued: "Moreover, when Sister Xiyu mentioned that there was a problem with wine, but her sister did not drink, can the concubine assume that Sister Xiyu knew that the wine was drugged?"

The concubine thought about it, and finally came up with a third reason. This medicine is aimed at the concubine. Because this dinner was arranged by the concubine, if the guests have a good one, it is naturally the responsibility of the concubine, and the concubine is not worthy of being in charge of this family. It's just that the concubine didn't expect that in order to frame the concubine and seize the power of the concubine, the other party would ignore the reputation of the old lady and the palace. “

After Gu Shuiyue finished speaking, she looked straight at Meng Xiyu, the meaning was very obvious, the person behind the old woman was Meng Xiyu, and the purpose was to seize her power!

Meng Xiyu had long felt a little uneasy, and finally found the source of the uneasiness at this time, because this time, Gu Shuiyue was going to deal with her! Gu Shuiyue endured for a long time, and then she was going to hit with one blow, so that she could not turn over.

Thinking of this, Meng Xiyu's cold sweat fell.

After Gu Shuiyue finished speaking, she only looked at the old lady. She said so thoroughly, and the old lady was so intelligent, she should have understood at this time.

Meng Xiyu is her niece, but she did such a thing at her birthday banquet, even if the old lady is tolerant, she should be angry at this time.

The old lady sat there, as if in deep thought.

"Shuiyue, today's affairs will be done, and if the affairs of the inner courtyard of the palace are spread out and called the jokes of the people, it will not be good. That's all for today, and there's no point in digging any deeper, just act as if nothing happened. “

Gu Shuiyue's eyes widened, she never thought that the old lady would shield Meng Xiyu to the point of opening her eyes and telling nonsense!
