Chapter 245: Poison

At this time, there was a dead silence in the small kitchen, and only the sound of the dishes and bowls touching lightly could be heard, Jiang Zhu was cautiously busy in it, except for the big palace maid Bi Juan, who accompanied her, there were only a few small palace ladies waiting outside, seeing that everything was fine, when Jiang Zhu was about to put on the plate, Bi Juan, who was silent on the side, finally blurted out: "Wait." ”

Jiang Zhu heard the sound of a pause in his hand, and when he raised his head, Xiao Gong'e, who was waiting outside, had already walked in, holding a set of green jade chrysanthemum covered bowls in her hand. Seeing that those little palace ladies came over and wanted to put the small snacks made by Jiang Zhu on the plate, seeing the hesitation in Jiang Zhu's eyes, Bi Xuan on the side said loudly: "The old man of the Queen Mother is particular about the utensils used, and this set of utensils is specially used to hold small soups." ”

Seeing that Jiang Zhu Mo Mo didn't speak, Bi Xuan bowed her head slightly, signaling the speed in the hands of the little palace ladies to be sharper, and when everything was in order, Bi Xuan turned to lift the food box, handed it to Jiang Zhu and said: "Since these are your credits, you will naturally give them to the Queen Mother personally." ”

Now that the words have come to this, Jiang Zhu can only take it from the good stream, although he is full of doubts, he still follows Bi Xuan to the dormitory where the Empress Dowager Guo is.

When they walked in, Empress Dowager Guo was talking to Gu Yanling under the seat, and the two seemed to be quite harmonious.

"Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Guo, who was originally talking about it, looked over when she heard the voice, and when her eyes fell on the food box in Jiang Zhu's hand, she said with a kind smile in her eyes: "Get up." ”

Under the command of Mama Yu, the table has been laid out for the Empress Dowager Guo, and then Mama Yu personally took the food box from Jiang Zhu's hand, walked back to the table, arranged the dishes and bowls the same, and waited until everything was in order, and the maid who tried the food naturally walked up.

There was silence around, the ordinary-looking maid carefully picked up the porcelain plate, first sandwiched the horseshoe cake and pretzel, handed it to the mouth in turn and ate a small bite, seeing that it was correct, under the gesture of the Empress Dowager Guo, Mama Yu smiled and sandwiched the most favorite pretzel for the Empress Dowager Guo, and the Empress Dowager Guo picked it up and tasted it gently, it was indeed crispy and fragrant.

Empress Dowager Guo tasted all the pretzels, and immediately praised happily: "The mourning family has never tasted such a taste, what is this?"

Jiang Zhu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then replied cautiously: "Back to the Queen Mother, this is a pretzel, a small point in the slave's hometown, and the slave and maid do this to wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health." ”

When Empress Dowager Guo heard this, she smiled slightly in her eyes and said, "Okay, like your girl, she can speak." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Dowager Guo looked sideways at Mama Yu beside her, but in her afterglow, she glanced at the girl under the seat, and then said, "I will give a good reward in a while." ”

Mama Yu glanced at Jiang Zhu under her eyes, and then said with a smile: "The slave remembers." ”

When Jiang Zhu heard this, he immediately knelt down cautiously and said, "Slave and maid, thank the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Guo nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Get up." ”

When Jiang Zhu got up, the maid had already tried the four plates of snacks on the case, Gu Yanling sat there calmly, looking at this scene indifferently, and his right hand naturally probed to the edge of the jasper bowl with a lid, wrapped gently in his palm, and his thumb slightly rubbed the delicate texture of the brilliance.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Guo rarely ate so well, Mama Yu smiled and looked at the soup cup and asked, "What kind of soup is there?"

Jiang Zhu looked over when he heard the sound, and then said: "It's hawthorn wolfberry soup, I heard that the Queen Mother has a poor appetite recently, so she can boost her appetite." ”

Mama Yu looked at the Empress Dowager Guo inquiringly, and saw that the Empress Dowager Guo nodded, and the maid cautiously stepped forward to pick up the small bowl and scooped it gently, scooped it with a spoon and handed it to her mouth.

"Bang-"

Suddenly, the sound of the bowl bursting sounded harshly, startling the Empress Dowager Guo's hand, the bowl in her hand almost fell, and the little Gong'e holding the tray at this moment was also startled, the maid who was originally trying to eat turned around to put the small bowl she used into the tray in her hand, who knew that the hand was just halfway over, the maid let go of her hand, and watched the bowl fall.

Shocked the Queen Mother, this is a big crime!

When the little palace was frightened, the Empress Dowager Guo frowned hesitantly when she saw this, and Mama Yu on the side looked at it, and immediately scolded: "Bastard thing, are those hands all white?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Gong'e was scared and was about to kneel, but when she accidentally saw the person opposite, her face turned pale, and she immediately screamed in fright.

Mama Yu heard the almost angry scolding, who knew that the next moment the maid who was still standing beside her suddenly went straight down like a broken window paper, only to hear the dull sound of the body smashing on the ground, and almost at the same time, "boom-" sound, Xiao Gong'e, who was holding the maid's dishes and bowls, was so shocked that she collapsed on the ground, the plate in her hand was shattered, and her body moved back helplessly and panickedly, as if she saw a ghost.

Mama Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she turned to step forward, but she was shocked to find that the maid who tried the food was already blue and purple, her body was tense, there was no trace of human breath, and there was red and terrible blood in the corners of her eyes and mouth.

Mama Yu was so shocked that she took a few steps back, and even her face became extremely ugly, Empress Dowager Guo heard the sound and looked over, and the next moment she heard Mama Yu raise her voice sharply: "Someone!"

As soon as the words fell, when several chamberlains walked in, almost without waiting for anyone to react, Mama Yu's eyes shot towards Jiang Zhu like sharp blades, and her voice was so sharp that it almost became distorted.

"A lowly servant, dare to poison the Queen Mother and take people down!"

As soon as the words fell, the waiter who entered the house immediately received the order, and under the pull, Jiang Zhu was frightened and at a loss, but he still trembled and said: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't-"

Almost at the same time, Gu Yanling's hand that was originally stroking the teacup paused slightly, and then calmly moved his little finger to the edge of the teacup, lightly clicked, and squeezed the teacup tightly in his hand.

"The Queen Mother must be forced to work hard like this. ”

The girl's unhurried voice suddenly sounded in the noisy hall, in such a scene, the silence was a little abrupt, and people couldn't help but be stunned, but the girl obviously didn't raise her voice, but with a touch of momentum, it was obviously a question, but she said it so calmly.

A sneer unconsciously appeared in Empress Dowager Guo's originally angry eyes, and she immediately heard Mama Yu scolding her.

"How dare the little slave poison the Queen Mother, she must be the master-"

Before she finished speaking, Mama Yu stopped abruptly, as if she had been strangled by someone's neck, which made the Empress Dowager Guo frown slightly, and looked at Mama Yu's frightened gaze, and the Empress Dowager Guo couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

I saw that the girl who had always been quiet and dignified turned her head slightly, but her eyes were like a cold blade, which seemed ordinary, but it made people sweat coldly.

Where is that kind of gaze for a fourteen-year-old girl?

It's like, a scheming, intimidating old woman.

"Queen Mother, do you have to work hard?"

Seeing that the girl's eyes were calmly facing herself again, and she asked this sentence again, Empress Dowager Guo's eyes sneered, and she knocked the rosary on her wrist and said, "Your maid poisoned the mourning family, do you think that now you are still qualified to talk to the mourning family?"

Empress Dowager Guo's words were firm and confident, but in exchange for a chuckle from the girl, Empress Dowager Guo's hands tightened, and almost at the same time as she frowned, she heard the anxious voice of the palace people outside.

"Your Highness, Eldest Sun, you haven't reported yetβ€”"

Empress Dowager Guo almost sneered at the indifferent girl under the seat and said, "Originally, you think that you can clear your guilt by finding the East Palace?"

It's naΓ―ve and ridiculous.

Gu Yanling also heard the shouting outside the hall, but he didn't move his eyebrows, just stood up unhurriedly, raised his head slightly, and overflowed a word dignified and freely.

"Nope. ”

The next moment, the girl handed the cup in her hand to her mouth and took a sip, and when she put down her hand, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up at a cold angle.

"Even if I am alone, I will turn the tide. ”

The moment the words were finished, the Empress Dowager Guo still sneered, but the girl let go of her hand, only to hear the sound of "clang-", the teacup shattered, and the fragments collided on the ground and bounced and cut the girl's fine dress.

Almost at the same time, the voice seemed to wake up the Empress Dowager Guo abruptly, and even more frightened Xiao Yi, who was hurrying outside the hall.
