Chapter Seventy-Four: Interrogation

The next day, Gu Qianyan came to Yingjiao Pavilion early in the morning.

Although Chu Jiaorou's face was a little sad, compared to yesterday evening, she was completely different, and the whole person still looked full of energy on weekdays.

At this time, she happened to be returning from a walk in the morning, picked up the teapot on the table, poured tea, and prepared to drink it.

"Sister Chu!"

With a shout, Chu Jiaorou saw that it was Gu Qianyan, a smile spread slightly on her sad face, and she gently put down the teacup.

Feeling Chu Jiaorou's distress, Gu Tianyan couldn't help but secretly curse Qi Hongshan for being a harmful spirit, and returning Sister Chu to this appearance.

"Sister Chu's spirit looks much better this morning than yesterday evening." Gu Tianyan said.

Speaking of this, Chu Jiaorou sighed: "I've been like this for the past few days, I am obviously very energetic during the day, but I am too sleepy to lack it in the evening, and I have no strength at all." I don't know what to do if this continues. ”

Then, she looked at Gu Qianyan again: "What happened to Sister Gu when she went to Qi Chenghui yesterday, but she found something." ”

"Hmm."

Gu Tianyan nodded, and told Chu Jiaorou what happened yesterday word by word.

After hearing this, Chu Jiaorou's face turned blue and white for a while, her face was a little red with anger, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist.

"I haven't been in her way, why is she so bad with me?"

Gu Tianyan sighed and said, "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." My sister is favored by the prince, she is unwilling, and with her temperament, she is unscrupulous to her sister. I hope my sister can bear with her first, we don't have evidence, I'm afraid we can't take her. Wait until we find the evidence and see how she quibbles. ”

Chu Jiaorou nodded, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Gu Tianyan continued: "Since my sister said that she hadn't received any objects in the past few days, and she hadn't changed anything, she naturally didn't start with her sister's daily utensils. In addition to this, although my sister's food and drink are handled by special personnel, they will inevitably be exploited by people with hearts. I thought, let's start with the diet! “

After speaking, Chu Jiaorou, under Gu Qianyan's hint, called all the cooks and maidens here for interrogation one by one, and brought out all the food they had made.

For half an hour, Chu Jiaorou and Gu Tianyan had been asking.

However, he didn't ask anything.

Come to think of it, these people are the people of Yingjiao Pavilion, and naturally they and their masters are both prosperous and loss-oriented.

The prince can pamper Chu Jiaorou, and even the benefits they get will not be less, who would do that kind of thing that cuts off the way back.

Then, looking at Chu Jiaorou's eyes that were about to cry with some disappointment, Gu Tianyan hurriedly comforted her a few words and began to check the food.

She is the daughter of a medicinal food family, proficient in pharmacology, as long as Qi Hongshan has hands and feet in food, she will definitely not be able to escape her eyes!

The food is extremely exquisite, and you can see that the people who make it are very careful.

Gu Tianyan checked it carefully, and it took more than half an hour to check all the food.

She wiped her hands and sat down with some disappointment, a look of confusion on her face.

Could it be that she was wrong, Qi Hongshan didn't use her hands and feet in the food? But what else could she touch besides food......

"Sister Gu, how's it going?" Chu Jiaorou asked anxiously.

Gu Tianyan glanced at the food on the table and shook his head: "Sister, there is no problem with these foods. ”

"Huh? How so? Chu Jiaorou was very surprised, and sat down like a dead heart, her fingers twisting the handkerchief, not knowing what she was thinking.

For a long time, her eyes flashed with determination: "It's a big deal, I'll go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make decisions for me and question that Qi Hongshan face to face!" ”

"Sister, no!" Gu Tianyan hurriedly took Chu Jiaorou's hand and comforted: "My sister went to find the prince at this time, so she really fell in love with Qi Hongshan's way." We have no evidence, go to the prince to denounce him, and we will inevitably be bitten by her. The prince will also be angry with us for messing around, and the gains will outweigh the losses when the time comes. ”

Chu Jiaorou felt reasonable when she thought about this, and slightly suppressed the irrationality in her heart, but she had no idea at all.

She is just a little girl who has just come out of the cabinet, where has she encountered such a thing, if it weren't for Gu Qianyan, she wouldn't even know where to start.

Sighing, Chu Jiaorou picked up the teacup that had been cooled long ago, ready to drink it all. Suddenly, hearing Gu Qianyan's shout, she hurriedly put it down.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

Gu Tianyan looked at the teacup at this time, quickly took it and sniffed it, and took a sip of tea.

When I thought about it, I knew it in an instant.

"When I came to look for my sister in the morning, she came back from a walk?" Gu Tianyan asked.

Chu Jiaorou felt that Gu Qianyan seemed to know something, and her attitude became serious: "It's true that I just came back from a walk, and my sister has a habit of coming out and walking around every morning." ”

"When my sister comes back from a walk every day, will she drink the water in this teapot?" Gu Tianyan picked up the teapot and asked.

Chu Jiaorou said suspiciously: "Drink it every day, but my sister has found something wrong?" ”

"The tea leaves of this teapot are mixed with a potion - mountain eggplant flowers. The general dose can be used as medicine, which is used for sedation and insomnia. However, too much of the dose can cause people to fall asleep and fall unconscious. If you eat a large dose for a long time, you will go mad until you die. Gu Tianyan frowned: "Fortunately, my sister hasn't been in contact for a long time, but she just falls asleep at night." After stopping, my sister will return to normal. ”

Chu Jiaorou was shocked, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead. If only they hadn't found it today. In the long run, wouldn't she ......

Chu Jiaorou ordered the teapot to be put away as it was and replaced with other teas.

In the evening, she really didn't fall asleep as usual.

Early the next morning, Chu Jiaorou and Gu Tianyan came to Qi Hongshan and questioned her: "Qi Hongshan, Eggplant Flower, you put it to poison me!" ”

"I didn't think you could be so vicious. I, Chu Jiaorou, dare to say that I never owe you anything, and I usually avoid you everywhere, but I don't want to hurt the harmony. I didn't expect you to want my life, I can't be bullied by Chu Jiaorou! ”

Gu Tianyan silently looked at Qi Hongshan, whose face had changed greatly, and thought that this was indeed the case.

Hearing the words 'mountain eggplant flower', Qi Hongshan was stunned, and she was already panicked. Could it be that Gu Tianyan really can't find out?

Although her heart was already flying with thoughts at this moment, Qi Hongshan still pretended to be calm on her face.

As long as she doesn't admit it, can she still be forced to comply.

"Concubine Chu came to me early in the morning and said something nonsense, so she wanted to tarnish my reputation in vain. Although Concubine Chu has a high position, I, Qi Hongshan, am not the master who can be killed by you. ”

Qi Hongshan's tone was domineering, and she couldn't see that she had done something wrong, which made others seem to others as if Chu Jiaorou was really talking nonsense.

"Plain tarnished your reputation? Do you Qi Hongshan also know the word 'reputation'? Chu Jiaorou's face turned red with anger: "If you care about reputation, why bother scheming to poison me." You're just a femme fatale now, let alone fame. ”

"Chu Jiaorou, say that I am a femme fatale, then you can show evidence."

Seeing Chu Jiaorou insulting her like this, Qi Hongshan couldn't help it, and her usual arrogance and domineering were instantly displayed: "I heard that Concubine Chu was sick a few days ago, and I really can't see a doctor today!" And this disease is not drowsiness, I think it is madness! Chu Jiaorou, if you can't come up with evidence to prove that I harmed you, I will definitely find the noble concubine to call the shots and punish you crazy woman! ”

"You...... You ......"

Chu Jiaorou's face turned pale with anger, and the fingers pointing at Qi Hongshan also trembled slightly due to anger.

The concubine is not easy to mess with, but her father in the general's mansion has a heavy army, and it is not something that can be easily shaken casually.

Qi Hongshan really thought that she had the backer of the concubine Niangniang, so she could do whatever she wanted, she was really stupid!

Although Chu Jiaorou is a little jealous of the concubine, she is not a person who is afraid of things when people get to her. What's more, her side is full of evidence, no matter who she is in front of, she is also reasonable. Even if he is in a high position, he can't reverse black and white, and he can't reverse yin and yang.

"If you want proof, I'll give it to you!"

Chu Jiaorou gestured to the maid behind her, and the maid handed her the teapot mixed with an excessive amount of mountain eggplant flowers.
