Chapter 256: Suspicion Eliminated
Dong Rong originally wanted to stop Chenxi, after all, this poison was brought by Mei Xiang, and it was not clear if she knew about it.
But it was too late.
When Mei Xiang heard Chenxi's words, she was a little dazed, "What bug?" The silkworm you're talking about? ”
At this moment in a coma, she had forgotten the moment she was bitten just now.
"That's not actually a silkworm, it's a ......"
Chenxi had a very good impression of Mei Xiang, so she was completely defenseless when she spoke, but for the sake of safety, Dong Rong didn't want Mei Xiang to know so many things.
"Mei Xiang."
She stepped forward and interrupted what Dawn had just said.
"It's not an ordinary silkworm, but it's just a small bug. It doesn't matter, we specially asked Dr. Liu to diagnose you, you have been too busy recently, so you are tired? ”
While Dong Rong spoke, she gently shook Chenxi's hand and signaled her not to say too much.
After all, everything is not clear now.
Imperial Physician Liu, who has been silent, also thinks this way.
After Dong Rong finished speaking, he nodded and said, "Judging from your pulse, your body has been a little weak recently, maybe the weather is too cold and you have been frightened, so you occasionally feel dizzy." ”
After listening to everyone's words, Mei Xiang lowered her head and thought for a while, and then said, "Yes, I have been sleeping late at night lately." Doctor, how do you say I should make up for it? ”
"You must come at the right time, eat some light meals on weekdays, and you have no problem."
Doctor Liu took Mei Xiang's pulse again very seriously, and then chatted briefly.
Just as Mei Xiang was about to thank her, Dong Rong suddenly spoke, "Mei Xiang, I see that the shawl you gave to Chenxi is very special, whether it is in terms of embroidery style, or in terms of material and pearl equipment, it is not something that ordinary people can do." Have you studied since you were a child? ”
An ordinary palace maid, with such ingenuity, that cloak is a first-class product from the perspective of embroidery alone.
This plum fragrance should not be mortal.
"I've loved these since I was a kid."
Mei Xiang was very happy when she heard Dong Rong's praise.
He felt that it was not good for everyone to surround her like this, so he said, "Why don't I go and take the cloak and show it to the princess and the county lord?" I didn't have time just now. ”
After Mei Xiang said this, she got off the bed.
It is miraculous to have the presence of the imperial doctor, not only is this head not dizzy at all, but it is also very powerful to walk.
Mei Xiang thought to herself.
Several people did not refuse, and they also went to the atrium together.
Ohachi was holding the cloak, and Mei Xiang was talking seriously beside him.
"I have loved embroidery since I was a child, and it has something to do with the customs of our hometown. I am from Jiangnan, although my parents are only petty officials in the county, but they know things very well, and they know that I like these gadgets, so I found a master to let me learn. To tell the truth, the princess and the slave maid were selected to the palace, and it has something to do with the craftsmanship of this embroidery. ”
Talking about her hobbies and hometown, Mei Xiang's tone became relaxed.
Dong Rong looked at this delicate girl and intuitively felt that she should not be the same as Linglong.
But this person actually gave her daughter Gu worms, she still had to ask clearly.
"Are you and Linglong from the same place?"
Dong Rong nodded in acquiescence, and suddenly asked with a smile.
Hearing Linglong's name, the look in the corners of Mei Xiang's eyes dimmed.
"It's not from the same place, but it's the same batch of people who entered the palace."
Speaking of this, Mei Xiang paused, "I thought she would be able to live happily after becoming a nobleman." But I didn't expect it to ...... so soon."
"She was just beaten into the cold palace, and when the emperor is not angry one day, she will come out."
Dong Rong comforted.
Hearing this, Mei Xiang looked up at Dong Rong in surprise, tears rolling in her eyes, "Princess! Don't you know? Wang Guiren, Linglong her, is gone. ”
After speaking, Mei Xiang choked up.
But Dong Rong's heart began to be vigilant, the news of Linglong's death was closed, how did she, a little girl in the deep palace, know about this?
Seeing Dong Rong's expression suddenly become serious, Mei Xiang suddenly realized a problem, Xiao Linzi told her at that time, don't tell anyone.
"How could it be gone? I don't know yet? Who told you that? ”
Dong Rong's expression was still kind, but her tone had become less friendly.
"Yes, yes......"
Mei Xiang felt that the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and she looked at Imperial Doctor Liu with some hesitation.
When Imperial Physician Liu saw this look, he immediately understood, "It's Xiaolinzi again." ”
"Who is Xiao Linzi?"
Chenxi, who had been silent, asked.
"Let Mei Xiang tell you."
How could Imperial Physician Liu not know his only intention, that Xiao Linzi was desperate for Mei Xiang.
Mei Xiang's face turned red in an instant.
"Xiao Linzi is a friend of the slave maid. It was when he passed by Xianfu Palace just now that he told the slave king and the nobleman about it. He also told me that the murderer was from the palace and asked me to pay attention to safety. ”
Although Mei Xiang didn't quite understand what mistake she had made, now standing in the middle of everyone, she knew that the problem was definitely not as simple as explaining how to make the shawl.
"He is right, Wang Guiren did die at the hands of the people in the palace."
Doctor Liu said again affirmatively.
"Who could that be? Usually Linglong rarely interacts with people in the palace! ”
"How much do you know about her? By the way, Mei Xiang, I have been wanting to ask just now, where did you get so many pearls? ”
At this point in the topic, Mei Xiang finally realized the crux of the problem, it must be that the things she took were too valuable, not like a palace maid could take them out. That's why it arouses the suspicion of the princess.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, she Mei Xiang is doing right, and she is not afraid of anything.
"These pearls are all made by ordinary nobles. The pearl was given to me by a small basket. She said that she was rewarded by Concubine Bo before. She was depressed right now and didn't want it, so she gave it to me. I was worried that my tiny pearls would fall off, so I brought them all! ”
Mei Xiang felt that there was no ghost in her heart, so she listed all the things one by one.
Dong Rong also understood at this point, this matter should have nothing to do with this little girl, but the small basket she mentioned may be the breakthrough point of the problem.
"I love this cape!"
Seeing that her mother seemed to be busy with her business, Chenxi stepped forward, put the cloak directly on herself, and smiled at Mei Xiang.
"I'm glad that the county lord can like it!"
Mei Xiang was a little displeased, but it made sense when she thought about it carefully, so she responded with a smile.
Dong Rong didn't speak, but she knew that if she figured things out one day, who was the one who killed Wang Guiren, she would personally explain today's events to Mei Xiang.
Next, it's time for the grand apprenticeship ceremony.
This is not in the category that Dong Rong likes, any ritual in history has too many practical meanings, as long as the heart is sincere.
But Chenxi read all the books of Miao Jiang and found that the customs of that place were very respectful of the ceremony, so she thought of being more grand.
What made Dong Rong curious was that Imperial Physician Liu seemed to be very useful, and the entire palace was running around for his apprenticeship ceremony.
Well, she doesn't understand Miao Jiang's affairs.
She went back to her room and began to think about the afternoon.
Since the small basket is a breakthrough, it is not too late, and we have to quickly find someone to go back and spread the news.
Here, Imperial Physician Liu seems to be very keen on accepting apprentices, and he seems to have started an attitude of not caring about himself about the affairs in the palace again.
She didn't force it.
This Imperial Physician Liu was originally a person outside the gods, and he never played his cards according to common sense.
So she called for Jia Yi.
"Little basket, from the palace of Concubine Bo, took a big pearl."
She simply condensed Mei Xiang's words into this sentence and asked Jia Yi to pass it on to the Queen Mother.
Outside, there are chickens and drums beating, which is very lively.
In this lively scene, Koichi rode on a horse galloping towards the palace.
The winter weather is still cold.
But when she walked out of the door and saw that the people in that courtyard were happy, Dong Rong suddenly felt that life might not be so difficult. Maybe Daqi will not really encounter hardships, and his husband and children will not encounter any difficulties.
The bloody rooster was tied to the desk, and the white hot steamed buns, the pig's head that had just been killed, and some grains, and the Imperial Doctor Liu, who didn't know where to change his clothes at this time, turned out to be completely red!
If it weren't for her own daughter kneeling below, Dong Rong felt that this appearance was like a sacrifice!
It's just a sacrifice in red!
In order to see what was going on, she took a few steps ahead.
Now, I can see clearly that the red robe worn by Imperial Physician Liu is actually the red cloth that has been stored in his cabinet for a long time!
I'm really drunk.
Looking at all the people who arranged the ceremony, they were all excited as if they were celebrating the New Year, Dong Rong shook her head, she really didn't understand the world of these people.
At the same time, the person who was as happy as Chenxi was preparing to worship her teacher, as well as her little brother, Brother Ming'er.
Having said that these days of travel, Brother Ming'er has changed from a handsome guy with slightly white skin and beautiful eyebrows and bright eyes to a man with black skin and a rough voice.
The steps on his side were slower, and he hadn't yet reached the step of killing the chicken.
Unlike in the ceremony of the Middle Palace, the excitement of the individual is different.
All the people who participated in the ceremony here had solemn expressions.
You must know that the real Master Miaojiang needs to go through many steps if he wants to claim an apprentice.
The mentor that Brother Ming'er met has not yet appeared, but from the outfits of these people who handle the ceremony, it can be seen that he is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Isn't this young man from out of town? How can Master Miao's apprentice? ”
In addition to the people who arranged the ceremony, there was also a group of spectators.
The people of Miao Jiang, each with unique skills, stood on the periphery, watching this ceremony, but the expressions on their faces were envious.
"I heard that this young man is very powerful! He's a newbie, just starting out, but he's amazingly talented! ”
