Zhao was jealous in his heart, and he had nowhere to vent, probably because he was out of intestines, and suddenly his stomach was uncomfortable, so it was convenient to leave the table. When I came back, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't wait for Ah Xiu to die tomorrow, and I walked forward with hatred, and suddenly my eyes rolled, and I turned around and went back to my room.

Zhao opened the small cabinet and found out the arsenic that he had bought a few months ago, probably because the maid had used it, and when Zhao found it, there was only a handful left.

Even if the medicine doesn't die, it's enough for you! As long as I poison you, no matter which one is the concubine, I can't fight me if I forgive them! Zhao secretly gritted his teeth, wrapped up this bit of arsenic, put it in his sleeve, and went out.

I thought of poisoning Ah Xiu when I poured wine from the beginning, but when I saw Ah Xiu's maid, I took a food box from the kitchen and sent it to the garden, Zhao followed behind, wanting to say hello, but suddenly thought that the dishes were already ready, this was probably Ah Xiu's private dishes, so I deliberately found an opportunity to poison them.

A house slave greeted the servant, and the Zhao family hid behind a pillar on the side. Listening to their conversation, the Zhao family knew that it was the prince who ordered the tonic soup to be made for Ah Xiu, and he wanted to send it over, and the Zhao family was secretly happy, so he was even more careful.

This girl walked in front, and suddenly stumbled, as if she had twisted her foot and almost threw the food box, and stood up swayingly, as if it was in great pain, and her mouth was groaning, and she put the food box on the rockery behind her, and sat on the bluestone and rubbed her feet.

Seeing this, Zhao was overjoyed: I was going to poison the empty child, but now it's just right. Thinking of this, Zhao sneered secretly, tiptoed around the rockery, gently lifted the lid, and sprinkled arsenic into it.

As soon as the arsenic was sprinkled, the servant stopped and slowly stood up. Zhao Shi was startled, quickly shrank his head, hid, his heart fluttered, and secretly prayed not to find himself.

The maid really didn't see Zhao, picked up the food box, limped forward, Zhao deliberately waited for her to go away, and then came out to change the way, and rushed to the yard.

Ah Xiu toasted Zhilan and the Hu family, sat down slightly, feeling a little dizzy, and the smell of wine seemed to be a little floating. After sitting down for a while, he whispered hello to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that he was unwell and wanted to go back to the room first.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and was about to let her go back, but saw Ah Xiu's maid carrying a food box, and remembered that he had instructed someone to stew soup earlier, so he asked Ah Xiu to drink it and go again. Ah Xiu didn't want to drink, but Zhu Yuanzhang just refused, so Ah Xiu had to sit down again.

When Zhao came in, he was shocked when he saw Ah Xiu standing up as if he was leaving. When he wanted to go forward to keep her, he saw what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Ah Xiu sat down again, Zhao secretly felt that God was helping him, and secretly sneered, waiting for Ah Xiu to drink soup and be poisoned.

At this time, Ah Xiu felt that his stomach was already a little swollen, and he sat there lazily, not wanting to raise his hand, so Zhu Yuanzhang asked the maid to open the food box and hand it to her, and let Ah Xiu drink it while it was hot. Ah Xiu took it, said to dry it, and did not drink it immediately, but put it aside.

Not long after, there were people in the army talking back and forth, Zhu Yuanzhang left the table, and before leaving, he told Ah Xiu to drink before leaving, and not to waste things. Ah Xiu couldn't, so he could only agree.

Zhao was anxious, and secretly muttered to himself, hoping that Ah Xiu would drink quickly, but when he saw Ah Xiu and Hu chatting, he was annoyed.

Hu Shi saw that Ah Xiu didn't drink the jar of things, so he asked if it was medicine or what, Ah Xiu said that it was a tonic soup, Hu Shi advised to drink it while it was hot, Ah Xiu said: "There is some flatulence in the stomach, and there is no disease, and the body bones are not worse than men, so why spend money to drink this." ”

Hu smiled: "My sister is always reckless every day, but don't let down the prince's heart." Ah Xiu smiled and said, "I really can't drink it, sister, you just got out of confinement, isn't it more suitable than me?" Just help me and drink it. ”

As he spoke, he asked the maid to take the jar to Hu, and Hu shirked again and again, so he had to hand the child to the nurse, take it with his hand, and let his maid put it in a small bowl and drink it slowly.

Zhao was taken aback, but he didn't dare to stop it rashly, so he had to comfort himself in his heart: Anyway, this Hu family is not a good person, he can't fight a tiger, or a fox. Look how proud you are!

After half a cup of tea, Hu Shi felt that his mouth and throat were dry, and his stomach was burning as if it was uncomfortable, thinking that it was the heat of the soup, so he didn't pay attention to it.

After a while, Hu Shi felt that the burning feeling was deeper, and he actually sweated in pain, his face turned pale, and he fell to the ground.

When everyone saw her fall, they stopped and gathered around to see, Ah Xiu thought she was uncomfortable at first, and asked her, but she felt like she was poisoned, and she was busy calling someone to find a doctor, but Hu Shi even vomited.

Ah Xiu saw that she was drooling a lot, and her vomiting became more urgent, and she suddenly felt that she had never seen this symptom, and when she recalled it carefully, she was scared a lot, it turned out to be arsenic!

Is this still worth it? didn't care about studying who was poisoned, Ah Xiu first let his maid and Hu's maid help Hu to return to the room, and then sent a house slave to invite Zhu Yuanzhang back, and at the same time assigned someone to guard the scene and let everyone return to their seats and sit down.

He also sent someone to call the head of the guards in the mansion and asked him to assist in controlling the scene, and assigned people to go to the kitchen to guard the subordinates who were cooking, and for a while, the family and the guards in the mansion began to carry out their assigned tasks, and there were people everywhere.

Zhao naturally knew it, but at this time, he pretended to be panicked like everyone else, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but when he saw that Ah Xiu had assigned someone to guard him, he had to return to his seat and sit down.

After the assignment was completed, Ah Xiu specially instructed that everyone was not allowed to go away until it was investigated, otherwise they would be tied up on the spot for poisoning and sent to the yamen for imprisonment. Seeing that it was arranged, Ah Xiu hurriedly walked to Hu's room.

At this time, Hu's vomiting was even more violent, and the state of vomiting was also like a jet, Ah Xiu hurriedly asked people to get a large amount of cold boiled water, put a little salt, and poured Hu into it to induce vomiting.

The doctor hadn't come yet, and the more Ah Xiu thought about it, the more anxious he became, so he asked someone to go to the kitchen to find some steamed buns, roast them into charcoal, crush them and bring them, and asked them to go to the kitchen to find out if there was any sauce, and if not, boil some mung bean water.

Salivation, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain, Ah Xiu counted the symptoms, and even determined that it was arsenic poisoning, remembering that Hu had not eaten anything else, and the dishes on each table during the banquet were the same, he couldn't help frowning.

Suddenly, remembering the tonic soup, Ah Xiu calculated the time, and his heart sank: it was exactly half an hour before the symptoms appeared, and it could only be that the soup was poisonous! The girl who brought the soup was the girl who grew up by herself, there should be no problem, so who is it?

Who can be the one who harms me? I've never been an enemy of anyone, so did I make a decision on the spur of the moment, or was it premeditated?

Thinking of this, Ah Xiu called the servant, and when the maid heard that it was arsenic, she was already as frightened as the other maids, and now Ah Xiu asked about her soup, and she was even more frightened and cried, thinking that Ah Xiu suspected that she was poisoned.

"Princess Mingjian! Xiaohong has followed the princess since she was a child, and she is definitely poisoned by me! The princess spares her life! Little Red is wronged! As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

The people around him saw that Xiaohong said that it was poisoned, and heard arsenic or something, and knew that it was highly poisonous, and it was very fatal, and they were even more frightened, so they lowered their heads and turned their heads to each other.

Ah Xiu was about to ask, but the kitchen sent steamed bread charcoal, and Ah Xiu hurriedly asked people to mix the charcoal powder in the water and feed it to Hu Shi first.

Ah Xiu let the kneeling Xiaohong get up: "I'm not suspicious of you, I'm just asking if you see a suspicious person." Don't cry, say slowly, I believe you. ”

Xiaohong stood up tremblingly, and said while crying: "The soup is stewed by Ying'er and Xiaosi's mother, that is, Mother Sun and Mother Qian, I served it, and I didn't see anyone!" ”

Ah Xiu thought about it, and called two mothers, these two old mothers are the mothers of Lian'er and her personal girl, since she poisoned herself and injured the Hu family, Ah Xiu wanted to dig out the murderer even more to give the Hu family an explanation.

When the two mothers came, their faces turned pale with fright, and they kept saying that they were wronged, they didn't have any motive in Ah Xiu's heart, they asked, searched, and never saw poison.

If there is no clue, how can it be poisonous? Ah Xiu fell into thought again. After thinking about it again and again, Ah Xiu asked someone to bring the jar and food box and examine it carefully.

At a glance, Ah Xiu found something suspicious, there were a few yellow-white salt grains at the mouth of the jar, which was impure arsenic, Ah Xiu put down the jar and picked up the food box again, and sure enough, there was powder and a few larger particles at the bottom of the food box near the middle.

It seems that it was indeed poisoned after being put in a food box, Ah Xiu thought. called Xiaohong again to ask, but saw Xiaohong limping and lame, and suddenly his heart lit up, thinking that if he twisted his foot, he might fall something, or leave his hand, Ah Xiu asked: "Xiaohong, did you twist your foot just now?" ”

Xiaohong was stunned for a moment and replied, "Back to the princess, yes." "When did you twist?" Ah Xiu asked. "When the soup is delivered, it's at the cross-courtyard rockery." Xiaohong replied honestly and suspiciously.

Yes! Ah Xiu is more sure in his heart, I'm afraid it's this time, "The food box was taken out of the kitchen, is it the only time to leave your hand?" Has anyone else taken it? ”

Xiaohong shook her head and said, "No one else took it, I just twisted my foot, put the food box on the rockery, rubbed my foot, and was afraid that the soup would be cold, so I brought it." ”

It's not wrong, it's someone who poisoned it at this time, but who is it?

"Why hasn't the doctor come yet? Did you go and ask the prince to come back? Ah Xiu asked the people outside in a loud voice, and the next person came in and replied.

Since it is a poison at this time, I am afraid that it is a temporary intention, a temporary intention, how can there be arsenic at hand? Ah Xiu was puzzled again.

At this time, Hu's vomiting had gradually been suppressed, and it did not deteriorate, but it did not get better, but Hu still held his stomach, and it still seemed to be in pain.

Ah Xiu gradually relieved his heart, the poisoned arsenic was yellowish-white, which proved that the arsenic was impure, and the antidote of earthwork was used, although there was no modern medicine, but since it did not deteriorate, I am afraid there was no worry about life.

Hu Shi began to have diarrhea, Ah Xiu drove everyone outside, asked a few careful old women to serve Hu Shi, and came out to ask questions outside.
