As if he didn't know how much shock his words would cause, Zhong Liji continued: "I have lived for a long time, experienced a lot of things, and come into contact with many people, so I know that a method of poisoning is to use honey and other substances to mix the dissolved arsenic/frost powder into a transparent paste, smear it on tableware such as a porcelain spoon, and dry it with fire, so that the tableware looks the same, but when it is hot, the poison will be peeled off the tableware. ”

Zhong Liji in the eyes of the prince is tantamount to an immortal, and of course he trusts what the immortal says.

"In other words, the medicinal diet was originally non-toxic, and the poison fell on the tableware, so the suspicion of Qin Sanniang and her maidservant was completely gone."

Of course, the prince could see Zhong Liji's "appreciation" of Fang Qi.

"Girl, I've helped the three of you in total, can you cook me three meals?" Zhong Liji put forward his conditions.

Fang Qi almost didn't nod his head, not to mention three meals, thirty meals are not a problem, what a good miracle doctor, but much more merciful and generous than Yan Bingdao.

The prince was stunned again - did it turn out that the gods were so easy to please?

No, no, this should still be based on Yan Chi's feelings, Xiangdi Sanniang really has a different weight in Yan Chi's mind, but why didn't Yan Chi simply marry Ren Mingmei?

"Your Highness, if Zhong Ligong's conclusion is good, if the poison is thrown on the tableware, then there is no suspicion of ordering cherry blossoms." Fang Qi focused his attention on the "case": "When the medicinal food is delivered in March, it is often sent directly from the blister kitchen with soup spoons and saucers, and in the shelving box. She is the one who handles it, and she can directly drop the arsenic/cream powder on the medicinal diet. ”

The prince felt that Fang Qi was really much smarter than Qin Erniang and Gao's daughter, and there was nothing wrong with Yan's unprovoked vision.

"It is true that if you go to great lengths to poison the tableware, you should not be able to directly poison the medicinal diet, and the person who poisons it is not the person who has cooked and served the medicinal diet."

"Is that leaking out of the blister's kitchen?" Qin Xun felt that the problem was quite serious.

If there are people with ill intentions, it is impossible to prevent it, and the victims are not limited to the eldest grandson, so wouldn't everyone in the Xiangdi be shrouded in the shadow of death?

In fact, Xiangdi has a special tableware department, which belongs to the Inner Treasury Bureau, but the Tableware Department is only responsible for storage and cloth banquets, and the meals required for three meals a day are limited, and if they are sent and received by the Inner Treasury Bureau, the procedures are too cumbersome, so the blister kitchen has set up a meal washing group, which is responsible for the hot washing and collection of tableware for three meals a day, and this group also has twenty or thirty people, and it is not easy to inspect them one by one.

"Weng Weng, I am cooking medicinal meals for my eldest brother in Aunt Wen's private kitchen, and I naturally won't make a special trip to the meal washing team to find other tableware in March." Fang Qi very intimately calmed Qin Xun's nervousness when he suddenly felt that the grass and trees were all soldiers.

But Qin Xun only relaxed a little in one breath and then tensed up again: "Three girls, are you suspicious of Aunt Wen?" ”

Fang Qi felt that her family's Weng Weng was a little lacking in his brain today......

But when you think about it, you can figure it out, her family Weng Weng is not a person who always cooks like her.

"Mrs. Wen's private kitchen, a drawer of porcelain spoons, a drawer of soup cups, porcelain plates, and bowls are classified into different categories, and Mrs. Wen cannot expect me and March to take which one from a drawer, it is impossible to poison, and Mrs. Wen's private kitchen will be locked, the key is only for me and Mrs. Wen, if you poison the tableware, it can only be a soup cup or soup spoon containing medicinal food, the soup cup is taken by my own hands, I dare to guarantee that it is non-toxic, because I scalded the soup cup with boiling water before use, and the water that scalded the soup cup, and also fed the raccoon cat after it was cold."

Qin Xun couldn't help but glance at Fang Qi.

Fang Period: Weng Weng don't look at me, I have become a thorn in the side of the eldest lady, and I cook my brother's medicinal food, I am not so careful how to do it.

But she didn't expect poison to be put on the spoon.

"The slave also took out a ...... from a soup spoon drawer in the private kitchen," March said busily.

"The soup spoon used by Dalang today was not delivered in March!" Dian Sakura finally suddenly realized: "The slave took the box from March's hand, and walked all the way in, suddenly her ankle was sore, and she stumbled, and the slave almost fell and threw the lid of the box out...... There was a green worm that fell from a tree, and it happened to land on the top floor of the open suitcase, climbing from the white porcelain plate to the porcelain spoon. ”

Medicinal food is not like the daily meal, it needs seven dishes and eight bowls to be packed in a huge box, only a small cup, so the box is also very small, generally divided into two layers, the bottom layer of space is deeper, the bottom can also put a small charcoal block, the porcelain cup can be kept warm at the bottom, so as not to let the medicinal food cool on the way to be delivered, the upper layer is shallow, specially used to put tableware, so the lid of the box fell off, and the insects on the tree fell down, which can only "pollute" the soup spoon and not pollute the "soup cup".

"When the slave saw that the soup spoon was unclean, she didn't dare to hide it, so she reported it to Yuan Ji." Point Sakura Road.

Yuan Ji is peach leaf, she hurriedly said: "The concubine is a soup spoon that Zi Ran took away." ”

If she had left it in the past, she would not have supported other maids to run errands because of a trivial matter, but now that she is pregnant and has difficulty moving, Da Lang will not agree to her going to the inner hall to fetch the tableware in person, and Zi Dye is on duty tonight, and she is waiting in the house, so she sent Zi Dye.

Zi Ran never expected the prince to ask about the case, but the result was that he was suspected, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and was about to cry out for injustice.

"Don't worry, I'll ask you to answer." Fang Qi wanted to return the peace of Xuan Chun Garden as soon as possible, and his brother was still unconscious: "I know that the food and drink sent by the Housing Department, although they will distribute the tableware together, but occasionally there will be a situation of defacing the tableware during the meal, so it will not go to the Housing Department to spend it again, so the Xuan Chun Garden should be the same as the Autumn Cool Restaurant, and usually have some tableware for emergencies." ”

"Yes, there are four sets of dishes, spoons, and chopsticks in the garden, all of which are stored in the small hall cupboard." Purple Dye said calmly.

"Spare soup spoons should not be used much, like my Qiuliang Pavilion, in order to prevent dust, they are all packed in small spoon boxes, I don't know if Xuanchun Garden is the same?"

"Yes, also in a small spoon box."

"How did you get it today?"

"For the sake of convenience, the slave maid took the top spoon box, and the slave didn't even take out the soup spoon, but only opened the spoon box when she brought it."

"So the spoon box is not laid flat, but stacked?"

"The cabinet in the small hall is deep, but the bottom is narrow, so the spoon box is stacked in four."

Fang Qi bowed his head: "It's not that you want to be convenient, it's that everyone will make a convenient appearance, who will make a special trip to get the box pressed underneath?" She thought about it and asked, "How many people in Xuanchun Garden can touch the tableware?" ”

"Except for the servants and maids who are not serving in the house, anyone who can enter the house can touch the tableware, it is Sakura and others...... The small hall is unlocked, and it can be accessed at night when no one is around. ”

This means that the servants and maids in Xuanchun Garden can't get rid of suspicion except for cherry blossoms.

"Lately? Can you notice who often stays in the small hall? Fang Qi asked again.

"There is no abnormality in Xuanchun Garden, it's just ...... Recently, Erniang often came to visit Dalang, and when she came back, she hugged ......."

The prince remembered the "pomp" when Qin Erniang appeared just now, and felt that the testimony of the maidservant was very credible.

"Erniang is not used to drinking the soup in the soup room, she has to drink Qingyu's own hand-blended, the soup dessert is brought from Qionghualou, but she does not carry cups and tableware, so Amber and other maids have touched the cupboard in the small hall. It's just that...... In the past two days, Erniang has not come to Xuanchun Garden again, because the Winter Solstice Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye, there are more affairs in the Xiangdi, and Da Lang is often not in Xuan Chun Garden. ”

Seeing that Fang Qi wanted to speak again, Qin Xun opened his mouth at this time: "Your Highness should have a judgment in your heart." ”

The crown prince bowed: "It seems that this poisoner is either in the courtyard of Lingsun or in the courtyard of Linggranddaughter." ”

Qin Xun: "Wechen also asks His Highness to move and listen to Wechen's thoughts." ”

The prince was naturally obedient.

"Weng Weng, today I want to stay in Xuanchun Garden and wait for my eldest brother to wake up." Fang Qi was busy.

Qin Xun nodded in approval.

Zhong Liji saw that the crown prince and Qin Xun were both looking at him, and hurriedly waved his hand: "When Ling Sun's body has not completely improved, I think Sanniang has no patience to cook dishes, I am impatient, I can afford to wait, His Royal Highness and Xianggong still have business, I won't stay longer." ”

When the prince heard Zhong Liji's words, he seemed to have to stay in Lin'an for a while, so he only said "visit another day".

Xuan Chunyuan finally regained its tranquility, but it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate and be sad and uneasy, such as Zi Dye is actually an official slave, she was transferred into the house to serve after Yue Dan's resignation, how did she think that it would not take long to have such a disaster, she did not poison, but the poisoned soup spoon was clearly handed to Da Lang's hand through her hand, she knew that the suspicion on her body would not be so easily cleared, and this case had already alarmed the prince, and most of them had to be tortured and questioned.

Fang Qi first comforted her: "Weng Weng asked His Highness to move to a deeper discussion, you should have no intention of sending you all to the prison for strict interrogation, fortunately, my brother has escaped from danger after Zhong Ligong's treatment, and my brother is kind, knowing that you and other innocent people will naturally protect you, and rest assured, it is important to take care of your brother's recovery." ”

and comforted Tao Ye: "I'm worried about being scared, and I'm still pregnant, and your body is also precious at this time, there can be no more mistakes, don't worry, I'm guarding this place, big brother, to ensure that there will be no more mistakes, you settle first, and I'll let people inform you when the big brother wakes up." ”

"Although Da Lang and Er Niang are the same mother's compatriots, the concubine has long eyes, knowing that Sanniang really cares about Da Lang, Da Lang can turn the crisis into safety today, and it is also up to Sanniang to invite Zhong Ligong to rescue in time, Sanniang is as kind to the concubine and the child in the concubine's womb as deep as the sea, and the concubine is difficult to repay Sanniang's kindness in this life, and it should be repaid in the next life." Momoba sobbed and wanted to thank you.

Fang Qi hurriedly helped her up, and asked Sakura to send Peach Leaf back to the bedroom, serving Peach Leaf to rest.

and explained to March: "You were also frightened today, go back to the Autumn Cool Pavilion first, it's enough for me to have Changying by my side, talk to them in August, so they don't have to worry." ”

It was only at this time that Fang Qi had time to visit his eldest brother who had experienced a life-and-death disaster, and the eldest brother slept very quietly, and there was not much pain in his eyebrows, and his breath was also very slow, which was really not like the highly poisonous situation in his body.

Fang Qi was completely relieved, and felt that he was really hurting everywhere in his body.
