After a while, Ayuan brought several snacks with the mother-in-law in the kitchen. Lotus pastry, osmanthus cake, water chestnut soup, gold and silver crispbread, mung bean cake...... There are estimated seven or eight kinds of everything, all of which are packed in small plates and spread out in front of everyone.

"Back to the princess, these are all newly made in the kitchen today, and they are about to be presented to the princess." Ayuan said.

"Imperial Doctor Wang, this is the dim sum that this princess has been using these days, can you see what's wrong?" Xu Xiao'e pointed to the plates, and glanced at the cook with a sharp gaze, "If the imperial doctor finds out something, see if this princess doesn't peel your skin!" “

The cook shook her head, and hurriedly bowed her head and begged for mercy, "Princess, even if you borrow a hundred guts from slaves, you won't dare to murder you!" “

"Princess, let's let the imperial doctor take a look first." Aunt Huang said on the side, "Imperial Doctor Wang, why don't you go and see if there are any things in those dim sum hearts that clash with the princess's noble body?" “

"Yes." After saying that, Imperial Physician Wang walked over, looked at those snacks carefully, picked a few pieces with a toothpick and tasted a few bites, lowered his head and considered it, and said, "There is nothing wrong with these dim sums, but the water chestnuts in this horseshoe soup are cold and sweet, and they are suspected of hurting righteousness. “

"I just love this mouthful, the taste of this water chestnut reminds me of when I was in South Vietnam before......" Xu Xiao'e was crying, looking aggrieved.

"The princess is homesick, but it's better to take care of your health." Yun Bi on the side hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, I don't know what spices were dyed on the silk handkerchief, a faint fragrance wafted by, and almost the whole room was filled with a rich fragrance.

"This is ......" Imperial Physician Wang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask what spices the princess usually uses?" “

"It's crushed gold. Aren't all the big families in the capital using this? Xu Xiao'e was surprised, "Could it be that there is a problem with the spices?" ”

"But the aroma on this silk handkerchief seems to be stronger than the ordinary smell of broken gold." Aunt Huang also felt a little strange, took the silk handkerchief in Xu Xiao'e's hand and sniffed it, and handed it to Imperial Physician Wang, "The slave always feels that there is a smell of cinnabar." “

Imperial Physician Wang sniffed it carefully, nodded and said, "What Aunt Huang said is good, but what is mixed here is not ordinary cinnabar, but more intense red cinnabar. Although red cinnabar can enhance the smell of broken gold incense, it is also a tiger and wolf, and the princess has a weak stomach, so if you use it like this, I am afraid that it will greatly damage the body. ”

Xu Xiao'e was startled and straightened her body, "What did you say?" Greatly damaging the body? “

Imperial Physician Wang nodded and said, "That's right, the princess has used more horseshoe soup recently, which already leads to gastrointestinal insufficiency, plus this broken gold incense mixed with red cinnabar, which will lead to the symptoms of shallow sleep and irritability." If it takes a little longer, I am afraid that it will become weaker and weaker, and finally it will be terminally ill......"

Xu Xiao'e gritted her silver teeth and glared back at Ayuan, "How did you do an errand?!" Who allowed you to add red cinnabar to the broken gold incense? ”

Ayuan hurriedly knelt in front of Xu Xiao'e, "The slave is wronged!" This broken gold incense was bought by the house, and the slave maid checked it several times, and the spices sent by Wu's mother really did not have red cinnabar! The slave maid has served the princess since she was a child, and she also knows that red cinnabar is not suitable for much use, and she is very concerned about the princess's spices, and she also asks the princess to calm her anger! “

"You dare to say that you can't be more serious?!" Xu Xiao'e was angry, "You said that when the broken golden incense was just sent to my room, there was no red cinnabar?" Then according to your meaning, there is a little ghost hidden in our house, and how many pieces are secretly put in the spices of this princess? “

Everyone gasped, and Yu Ruo suddenly remembered Liu's mother's unscrupulous expression when the fire in Yufu was fired, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Mother Wu, who was standing on the side, heard Ayuan mention her name, and hurriedly knelt in front of Xu Xiao'e, "The princess is angry, the slave and maid use the head on her neck to vouch, the spices of the Yu family are the best broken gold incense in the east of the city, this has been in Beijing for nearly half a year, and the shop has not changed, please princess Mingjian!" ”

Xu Xiao'e saw Ayuan and Mother Wu kneeling in front of her, and felt very bored in her heart, "Yunbi, you go and take out my spices and incense burner for everyone to see, see what's going on?" “

Yun Bi responded in a low voice, and quickly brought Xu Xiao'e's spices and incense burner from the East Courtyard, Imperial Physician Wang pinched the incense powder and checked it, picked up the incense burner and looked at it carefully, and reached out and took out a few thumb-sized pieces of red cinnabar from the incense burner, "Princess, there is no problem with the spices themselves, it should be these red cinnabar put in the incense burner......"

"This is clearly someone deliberately trying to harm this princess!" Xu Xiao'e stomped her feet and said to Aunt Huang who was sitting on the side, "Auntie, you are the Queen Mother, you have to make decisions for me today!" “

"Don't panic, princess, maybe it's just a misunderstanding." Aunt Huang patted her hands, looked at Ayuan who was kneeling beside her, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the girl in charge of taking care of spices?" “

"Yes." Ayuan nodded.

"Then tell me, what's going on with this red cinnabar hidden in the incense burner?"

Ayuan's face was stained with tears, and her voice was almost shaking, "The slave really doesn't know, this incense burner is cleaned once a month, and the slave and maid were still good last time, how can it ...... This is obviously framed by someone, and I ask Aunt Huang and the princess to give justice to the slave and maid! “

"Why did this princess raise such a rough girl as you!" Xu Xiao'e couldn't wait to step forward and kick her, and said sharply, "You don't know that you check it once a day?" If it weren't for this coincidence, I'm afraid that this princess would be killed, and I don't know how to die! “

Ayuan knelt on the ground and cried, crying silently, "The princess is angry...... It's all slaves and maids, but this red cinnabar is really not put by slaves and maids, and please ask the princess to see it! “

Aunt Huang saw her crying pitifully, and sighed, "You just said that this incense burner is inspected once a month, and I see that these red cinnabar have also been in it for a while, have you seen anyone else touch this stove these days?" “

"These are all taken care of by the slaves and maids themselves, and they never dare to fake others." Ayuan thought for a while, and suddenly looked up at Xiu'er, "By the way, when the slave maid cleaned the incense burner last time, I met Sister Xiu'er who was also helping the young lady wash the stove, and then when the slave maid was halfway through washing, she wanted to go to Xiaojie, and asked Sister Xiu'er to help watch it." “

Everyone's eyes focused on Xiu'er and Yu Ruoxu, and Yu Ruoxu "chuckled" in her heart, it turned out that she was waiting for her here.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiu'er suddenly became anxious, and her voice was a little higher, "I want to say that I secretly put the red cinnabar in the stove?" ”

"But at that time, Sister Xiu'er was really the only one there!" Ayuan bit her lower lip and looked aggrieved.

"You!" Xiu'er felt speechless, so she stomped her feet in a hurry, turned to Yu Ruoxu and said, "Miss, the slave doesn't have it!" “

Xu Xiao'e snorted coldly, "You said that if you don't have it, there will be no more?" It's useless to beg your young lady now, I think you just have a ghost in your heart! After that, he shouted to the mother-in-law behind him, "If you don't hurry up and arrest her, my father-in-law will personally ask what kind of evil heart is hidden behind this!" “

"Stop!" Yu Ruoxu stood up and said sharply to the mother-in-law who was about to step forward, "I haven't asked the words clearly, I'll see who dares to do it!" “

"You!" Xu Xiao'e saw her tough attitude, and laughed angrily, "What? Could it be that our Miss Yu is afraid that this princess will find some ulterior secret from your personal maid's mouth?! “

Yu Ruoxu smiled faintly, "The princess said that she laughed, what secrets can I have?" Xiu'er is my personal girl, if there is anything wrong with her, I, the master, will not be able to escape the fault of negligence, so I can't convict Xiu'er with Ayuan's words. Aunt Huang happened to be present today, so let's make it clear in front of everyone, so as not to mislead people and think that our Yu family's back house is not peaceful. ”

Her words were not leaky, and Xu Xiao'e couldn't find any reason to refute it, and Aunt Huang on the side said, "What Miss Yu said makes sense, then make it clear here, and the slave maid should go back to tell the Queen Mother the truth." ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, did you really clean the incense burner with Ayuan at that time?" Xu Xiao'e asked in a deep voice, her eyes flashing with devouring anger.

"The slave admitted that the slave was also about to clean the incense burner for the young lady at that time, but she ran into Ayuan." Xiu'er's face was full of remorse, "Ayuan was almost finished washing at that time, and suddenly told the slave maid that she wanted to go to Xiaojie, and asked the slave maid to help her watch the stoves." The slave saw that she was a little anxious, so she agreed without much thought. During this period, the slaves and maids were busy with themselves, and they didn't even look at those incense burners, let alone add red cinnabar to them! ”

"Was there anyone else watching at the time, why should Princess Ben believe that you didn't do anything on the stove?" Xu Xiao'e looked suspicious.

"If the princess is suspicious, just call someone to search this girl's house." Aunt Huang said, "Especially the big and small corners of the house, as well as the surrounding flowers and trees, you have to dig them out and take a look." This red cinnabar is more intense than ordinary cinnabar, and when it runs out, you must find a hidden place to hide it. “

"Aunt Huang said this, as if she was sure that Xiu'er was the black hand behind it." Yu Ruoxu chuckled in a low voice.

Aunt Huang deserved to be the person who followed the Queen Mother, and said without changing her face, "Miss, don't get me wrong, the slave maid doesn't mean this, I want to check carefully, and it's good to show my innocence." “

"What Aunt Huang said makes sense." Xu Xiao'e immediately instructed, "Housekeeper, you take some maids and wives to search in Xiu'er's room, just according to what Aunt Huang said, no flowers or anything in the corners are allowed to fall!" “

The housekeeper glanced at Yu Ruoxu, and saw that she nodded lightly at herself, so she had no choice but to respond, "The little one obeys." ”

"Wait a minute." Yu Ruoxu remembered something and said, "Since you want to search, shouldn't the girl next to the princess also search?" ”

"What did you say?" Xu Xiao'e didn't expect her to come to this trick, and she was a little stunned for a while, "Why do you want to search my personal girl?" “

"Ayuan also kept saying that she didn't do it herself, but who can be sure that she is innocent?" Yu Ruoxu spread her hands and said, "Spices have always been accessible to personal maids, since we want to be guilty now, Yunbi and Ayuan beside the princess can't escape." “

At this time, Yun Bi, who had been silent since handing out the silk handkerchief, suddenly raised her head and looked at her directly.

"You're using strong words!" Xu Xiao'e walked up to her in one step, as if she wanted to force her to comply, "I see that you are clearly weak-hearted!" “

The corners of Yu Ruoxu's mouth hooked up a smile, and she took a step back slightly, "I didn't say that I wouldn't let the princess search Xiu'er's room, I just said that if I wanted to search, I would search together, so it would be fair." Why, is it possible that the princess has something unspeakable? “

Xu Xiao'e raised her hand and saw that a slap was about to fall, "I think you have the intention to get along with this princess!" “

"Princess!" Seeing this, Aunt Huang hurriedly stopped her, but it was too late, only to see Yu Ruoxu raise her hand and hold Xu Xiao'e's wrist tightly with a "cluck", Xu Xiao'e's hand was held in the air by her before she could hit her face, unable to move, "...... are you?"

"Butler, why don't you send more people to search?!" Yu Ruoxu let go of her, looked over Xu Xiao'e's face distorted by extreme anger, and instructed the housekeeper and Mother Wu, "Xiu'er's room, Yunbi and Ayuan's room, whether it's a corner or a flower, search it for me!" “
