Chapter 596: Unfast
1. Chi Nan Hou Mansion.
Scoop out a small porcelain bowl from the milk retrieved by Han Yuqi and Ruyi and put it on the table for study, and the remaining bucket was collected by Ruyi and kept for tomorrow to go to Wangjiazhuang for Tianji's personal use.
Next to the small porcelain bowl, more than a dozen small porcelain cups were opened, and according to Gu Yuqing's instructions, Jixiang used a white porcelain spoon that had been boiled in boiling water to scoop a spoonful of milk from the small porcelain bowl and pour it into a small porcelain cup.
The liquid collides with the porcelain, which is particularly pleasant, but at this moment, the few people around the table are all dignified.
A spoonful of milk just filled the small porcelain cup, turned his hand to put down the porcelain spoon, and picked up the slender silver needle at hand.
As the needle of the silver needle was submerged into the milk, the people in the room all held their breath and concentrated, Gu Yuqing pinched the silk handkerchief in his hand, his eyes stared at the silver needle for a moment, and Han Yuqi's expression, compared to Gu Yuqing, was a little more dignified than Gu Yuqing, and even a little bit of the tragedy of the strong man's parting.
The time of only half a cup of tea seemed to him as long as hundreds of years.
Finally, just when Han Yuqi couldn't hold back his breath, Jixiang raised his hand and lifted the silver needle, there was cow's milk hanging on the needle, and the milky white liquid was dripping down drop by drop, but the color of the silver needle was not as black as Gu Yuqing expected.
Is this milk non-toxic......
Gu Yuqing shook his head in his heart, there is no way, there must be something wrong with this milk.
Miao Jiangyu tried his best to plan this game, how could he not do anything in the milk sent to the palace.
What's more, when he was in the cattle farm, Miao Er said it himself, although his words were stopped by Miao Da in time, but Gu Yuqing followed his abrupt voice, and was able to speculate that they must have added something to the milk.
Besides, the Miaojiang Wu clan is the best at making and using drugs, and their actions must be related to drugs.
Staring at the colorless silver needle placed by Ji Xiang aside, Gu Yuqing's constricted brows suddenly relaxed, and a self-deprecating smile hung on his lips.
What a stupidity!
How can you ignore this?
The reason why Miao Jiangyu chose milk among many imperial businessmen is not because there are only a few people in the palace who can use milk, the queen mother, the queen mother, Hui Guifei and the emperor, and even the prince in the palace can't be divided.
Obviously, their target is the emperor.
If they want to do something unfavorable to the dynasty, they must try to be sure of everything, and the smaller the scope, the easier it will be to succeed.
But the emperor's meal, no matter what, was only willing to use it after the imperial eunuch personally tried it.
The eunuchs who test poison in the palace generally have to test with a silver needle first, and after confirming that it is correct, they will use it orally by themselves.
If they really put the poison that the silver needle can test in the milk, wouldn't they not wait for the emperor to enjoy it, and they would not be able to pass the test just from the eunuch who tested the poison!
What's more, since they have worked hard to plan this game, they must have made extremely careful preparations.
She even ignored such a simple truth, and even made a big show to test the poison with a silver needle, not stupid, what is it.
The people of Miao Jiang are all masters of poison, how could they have ordered the kind of poison that can be tested with a silver needle.
After laughing at herself, Gu Yuqing ordered Jixiang to scoop out two more porcelain cups of milk, one in front of Han Yuqi and the other in front of Mama Huang.
Han Yuqi is the original owner of the cattle farm, and he is familiar with the taste and smell of milk, while Mama Huang, who is proficient in pharmacology, may be able to do one or two.
They each took the porcelain cup, Mama Huang and Han Yuqi sat opposite each other, and started to check, but after half an hour, they each shook their heads, their eyes were full of sadness, and they didn't even catch any clues.
Gu Yuqing's eyes were full of anticipation, and she couldn't help but feel a layer of disappointment.
Knowing that there must be something wrong with this milk, she had no clue at all, uneasy, panic and anger like a tide, surging in, making her feel powerless.
After being silent for a long time, he finally took a long breath, sighed faintly, and Gu Yuqing adjusted his depressed mentality.
Since he can't find out, he can only wait for the other party to expose his feet.
Instructed Jixiang to take the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, on the Luoyang rice paper, the Wolf Haohu pen was dipped in thick ink, and the graceful fly-headed Xiaokai swayed up, but after a while, he wrote two notes.
One has few handwriting, the other has dense handwriting, pointing to the two pieces of rice paper, Gu Yuqing instructed: "If there are few words, give Ke'er, and if there are many words, send them to Concubine Hui, you can set off immediately, and you don't need to enter the palace in person, just let Wei Qi at the gate of the palace hand it in." ”
Ji Xiang nodded in agreement.
Ruyi used fine sand to absorb the ink on the paper, folded it neatly, took it auspiciously, turned his head and left, but just raised his steps, and was called by Gu Yuqing again, "You tell Wei Qi that if he is free tonight, let him find an opportunity to come to the mansion to see me quietly." ”
auspicious promise, push the door and go.
Since he found nothing here, Gu Yuqing dismissed everyone, leaving only Ruyi to serve on one side.
Today, Miao Daneng used Miao Jiang to test her, and sent spies all the way to follow her whereabouts, and he will definitely test Wei Qi one day.
Although I don't know what kind of method Miao Da wants to use against Wei Qi, it is always good to be prepared.
Originally, I heard Xiao Yu mention that the reason why Wei Qi was sent to the palace gate to be on duty was because Wei Qi knew several Chinese, and the palace gate was a place where ordinary people could not pay attention but the news was the most concentrated.
It's just that I don't know if this Wei Qi will speak Miao Jiang.
If it will, everything will be fine, if not, I am afraid that I will have to find another way.
Gu Yuqing was rubbing his eyebrows and thinking in a deep mind, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the window, which was coming densely, he made a movement in his hand, turned his head to look out of the window, and his breath was stagnant.
Ruyi, who was fiddling with the fire of the earth dragon furnace, stood covered in sweat and hair when she heard the sound, and almost in an instant, she who was originally squatting on the ground jumped and flew to the window, and the breath exuded from her body was only four words: like facing the enemy.
The plain white paper window was quietly opened by Ruyi A very small gap, through the gap, she cat's waist was leaning, and a fine eye looked out.
In the courtyard where the north wind whimpered and roared, with the little clear light in the sky like a full moon and the big red lantern half a foot of the Hou Mansion of China, Ruyi saw it clearly, a man wearing a night coat and moving sensitively like a cheetah shuttling through the dense forest, was approaching step by step.
His steps were like the long-lost Ling Bo microstep.
Ruyi's heart suddenly sank, and cold sweat hit his forehead, and at the same time, a row of embroidered silver needles hidden in the cuffs suddenly fell into his hand, and through the gap in the window, he aimed at the approaching man accurately.
The silver needle glowed coldly under the candle flame.
