This is strange, there is no shortage of arsenic, where did Qi Jia's arsenic come from, is it really her? As soon as this idea appeared, Nala denied it. In the palace, she would use such extreme methods to deal with the Liu family, except for Qi Jia's family, she really couldn't think of a second person. Niu Hulu's may be possible, but Niu Hulu, who has been fighting with her for more than 20 years, will never use such a direct and extreme method, if she is really so impulsive, she will not still sit firmly in the position of the concubine until now.

Liu stared at Nala nervously and said, "Niangniang, is there less arsenic?" ”

Nala ignored her and stared at Zhao Fangdao: "Are the discrepancies and discrepancies of the medicinal materials recorded in the book accurate, without a trace of error?" ”

Zhao Fang bowed his head and said: "If you go back to Niangniang, the slave has been in charge of the imperial pharmacy for many years, but any entry or exit of medicinal materials must be recorded, unless someone steals it." However, when Sun Gonggong ordered someone to weigh the arsenic before, the slave had already checked the records, and the two sides were added together, exactly seven catties, and there was no discrepancy. ”

After Zhao Fang went back, after thinking about it several times, he finally did not use his hands and feet on the account, but ordered someone to weigh all the arsenic, and then subtract the normal use on the account, and the missing ones were filled with flour, and the arsenic and flour were the same, not to mention ordinary people, even if they were people who were deeply versed in pharmacology, they could not easily distinguish it. It's just that this will affect the medicinal effect of arsenic, but fortunately, there is not much flour mixed with it, so it doesn't affect much.

Liu was stunned, and hurriedly said to the Nala clan: "Niangniang, is this really the case?" ”

Nala finally closed the booklet and said, "Yes, the two sides add up, it is indeed seven catties, and no one should have stolen arsenic." If Liu promises not to believe it, you can also take a look. ”

Liu was full of doubts, took the booklet and looked at it carefully, and was afraid that the mental arithmetic was wrong, and asked Nala to come to the pen and paper to record the numbers he saw one by one, and then add them up, but no matter how she added, the final number was one catty, eight taels and seven dollars, without any discrepancies, as for the name on the book, she could not find a trace of the association with Qi Jia's, and the most important thing was that the last time arsenic was taken was in November of the fifth year of Yongzheng, and it was used for medicine in the Tai Hospital.

Ling Ruo put Biluochun, who had drunk half of it, on the small table, and chuckled: "It seems that there is no shortage of arsenic in the imperial pharmacy, and it is impossible for Qi Jia's family to leave the palace, and the poison in the diet promised by Liu should have nothing to do with her." ”

The Nala clan summoned Sun Mo to his side, and after confirming it again, he said, "If the cuckoo didn't find arsenic in Qi Jia's residence, then it shouldn't be related." ”

Liu didn't speak, but looking at her appearance, she obviously didn't think that Qi Jia's had nothing to do with this matter, and after waiting for a while, Du Juan came back, but the news she brought back made Nala and Liu even more disappointed, because she didn't find arsenic in Qi Jia's residence.

"How so, impossible?!" Liu, who had been forcibly controlling his emotions, finally couldn't help but say at this moment: "There must be something wrong with this, Qi Jiashi is the one who poisoned him, and there will be absolutely no mistake." ”

Ling Ruojiang's lips hooked slightly, revealing a dazzling smile, "There is something very strange in this palace, can Liu promise to answer it for this palace?" ”

"Niangniang, please say, as long as the concubine knows the way, she must tell everything."

Facing Liu's words, Ling Ruo said: "From the moment I stepped into this palace, I heard that Liu promised to always insist that Qi Jia's family was the one who poisoned him, why are you so sure, is it just because of your holiday with Qi Jia's family?" ”

"Those who harm others must have a motive, and the concubine thinks that the festival between Qi Jia's family and the concubine is the best motive." As soon as Liu's words fell, Ling Ruo said: "Then Liu promised to be sure that from the time you entered the palace in the second year of Yongzheng to the present, for nearly four years, you have only had a holiday with Qi Jia's family?" ”

Liu's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "The concubine is stupid and doesn't understand what Niangniang means." ”

Ling Ruozhan stretched out his sleeves and said casually: "Before, you used the sixth elder brother to frame the Qi Jia clan, but later the true image was found out by the palace, so that you were demoted to promise not to say anything, and you were separated from the sixth elder brother's mother and son. Speaking of which, Bengong and Liu promised to have a little holiday, isn't it? ”

Liu didn't expect Ling Ruo to say this, and was stunned for a while Fang said: "That incident is indeed the concubine's fault, the concubine is obsessed, and even she can't forgive herself, Niangniang found out the truth and prevented the concubine from making mistakes again and again, for Niangniang, the concubine is only grateful, and never has the slightest resentment, so Niangniang's so-called festival does not exist in the eyes of the concubine." ”

Ling Ruo stared at Liu, and only after she finished speaking did she purse her lips and smile: "Is this the case, it seems that this palace really spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." But how does Liu's promise sound hypocritical? Is this palace thinking too much, or is it really hypocritical? ”

Liu's eyes shrank slightly, and he said in a condensed voice: "It seems that the concubine will not believe anything she says, but the concubine can be sure that this matter must have something to do with the Qi Jia family." ”

Ling Ruo nodded noncommittally and said, "Then Liu promised to hear what this palace thinks at this time." ”

Liu Shi bowed and said: "Niangniang, please speak, the concubine listens." ”

Ling Ruo stroked the multicolored teacup and said slowly: "This palace feels that this matter is just like the incident of the sixth elder brother before, everything is a scene directed and acted by you. ”

Mo said that the Liu family, even the Nala family was also changed when he heard this, and leaned forward and said solemnly: "Concubine Xi, this matter is a big matter, everything must be based on real evidence, and you can't talk nonsense." ”

Liu Shi said with red eyes: "The concubine was almost killed, but now the mother says that everything is done by the concubine herself, you ...... Even if you want to help Qi Jia's family, you can't defile the concubines like this. ”

"Qi Jia's family is innocent, why do you need the palace help, but Liu promised to react so much, but it was because the palace was right?"

The Liu clan was angry and angry, but he didn't dare to attack Ling Ruo, so he could only cry to the Nala clan: "Niangniang, the words of the noble concubine Niangniang are really wronged to kill the concubine, and the concubine has never done anything." ”

"Bengong Zhilu said, Liu promised and don't be sad first." After appeasing the Liu family, the Nala clan looked at Ling Ruo again, this time his voice was more serious than just now, "Concubine Xi, you claim that all this is a play that Liu promised to act, is there any evidence?" ”

"First, there is no shortage of arsenic; Second, there is no arsenic in Qi Jia's room; Thirdly, Qi Jia's family once humiliated Liu Gong, although she said that she didn't mind it, but the concubine didn't think so, after all, Liu Gonggong was a human being and not a saint; Therefore, the concubine thought that Liu promised to have nothing to do with this matter. ”

This time, Liu really went home wronged, obviously she was the victim, but she was beaten upside down, and she said that she was acting in a play and that she wanted to harm people.

Liu glanced at Ling Ruo hatefully, knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine has never done anything, the concubine has really been harmed, you must make the decision for the concubine." ”
