Xie Xinlan glanced at the palace people behind him. The palace people immediately understood, turned around and went out, and closed the door of the palace.

Jin Lu was nervously at a loss: "Ask the mother to forgive her sins." ”

Xie Xinlan sat down on the chair in front of him and squinted at him: "Now, there are only you and me here, and it doesn't hurt for you to say anything the mourning family asks you." ”

Jin Lu knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and was sincerely afraid: "I am willing to listen to the instructions of the Queen Mother." ”

Xie Xinlan slowly rubbed a mutton fat white jade bracelet on his wrist: "Shicai, you said that tortoiseshell she received bribes from officials in the DPRK and China?"

Jin Lu was silent, and his face was embarrassed.

Xie Xinlan said "um" dissatisfied.

After Jin Lu considered it carefully, he replied: "The tortoiseshell girl presides over the affairs of the palace, so she will naturally offend the servants below. Some hearsay, unfounded criticism, the minions did not dare to use this to slander the tortoiseshell girl. ”

Xie Xinlan chuckled: "She suppressed you everywhere, making it difficult for you to walk in the palace, and you even spoke to her." ”

Jin Lu Zhengse said: "The slave does have a slander. However, the tortoiseshell girl and I are both people in front of the Queen Mother, and we should be one and the same, so as not to give outsiders a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Xie Xinlan nodded approvingly: "In the past, the mourning family was prejudiced against you, which can be of great use." ”

Jin Lu was instantly overjoyed: "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager, the slave will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up." ”

Ci'an Palace.

The tortoiseshell walked into Ci'an Palace with a civet cat in her arms, lowered her head, and walked straight to Xie Xinlan: "Queen Mother, the civet cat has been caught." ”

Xie Xinlan nodded and looked at Hua Qianyi on the side: "Is it really that effective?"

Hua Qianyi held a white porcelain jar in her arms, and nodded confidently: "Don't worry, this is a small means of blackmail on the rivers and lakes, and Qianyi has seen it with her own eyes." This snake is extremely venomous, and the venom enters the body and immediately paralyzes the whole body, as if it is breathless, and there is no response to needle and stabs. Just take this antidote within five hours and you will wake up. ”

Xie Xinlan frowned slightly: "Let's try it first." ”

Hua Qian did as he was told, took out a red poisonous snake from the porcelain jar, skillfully took its venom, dripped it into the fish soup, and rested on the ground.

When the tanuki smelled the meat, he immediately pounced on it and licked it with great gusto.

The three of them stared blankly. It was only a moment, and the cat screamed, and immediately convulsed, and red and white saliva flowed from the corners of his lips, and he didn't move after two flutters.

The three of them were a little scared, and Xie Xinlan even covered half of his face with a handkerchief, and pouted: "This death is really ugly." ”

Hua Qianyi smiled: "Does this look real?"

In the end, it was the tortoiseshell that was bold, stepped forward and stabbed, and immediately retreated: "It's like dead." ”

Xie Xinlan Nunu mouthed: "Pour this potion and try it." ”

The tortoiseshell took the melted potion in Hua Qianyi's hand, still bold, took the hairpin and pried open the tanuki's mouth, poured the tea down one go, and then abandoned the hairpin in disgust.

It was just a cup of tea, and I heard a "purr" in the throat of the civet cat, and its beard trembled, and then it really opened its eyes. Then he stretched out in the surprised gaze of the three and stood up.

"It's amazing! There are still such poisonous snakes in the world. Xie Xinlan couldn't help but sigh, and then turned his face to look at Hua Qianyi: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm trying to find an excuse to invite Hanachiki to drink. ”

Xie Xinlan's eyes sank, and his face was thoughtful: "Although you are the county lord of the mourning family, your life is not precious enough." ”

Hua Qianyi frowned slightly: "However, the candidate with a noble status and a deep hatred with Hua Qianshu ......"

After a pause in her words, Xie Xinlan raised her face, and a sneer appeared on her lips: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

Hua Qianyi was stunned: "What does the Queen Mother mean?"

Xie Xinlan waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this matter, just be responsible for extracting the venom and handing it over to the mourning family, and the mourning family has its own arrangements." ”

Hua Qianyi stopped talking and retreated with the porcelain jar.

Xie Xinlan casually rubbed a jade ruyi in his hand, and instructed the tortoiseshell: "Spread the night to enter the palace." ”

The tortoiseshell's eyes flashed, and she said one more sentence: "Queen Mother, what do you mean ......?"

"What's better than murdering the county lord?"

Tortoiseshell was a little surprised: "Niangniang, do you want to make the Lord of Muqing County take a risk? ”

Xie Xinlan snorted lightly: "This medicine won't really kill her, what's there to be afraid of? She has been disobeying the yang and yin in front of the mourning family all these years, and she has behaved loyally, but she actually planted someone in the palace behind her back, openly opposed the mourning family, and protected the slut of Hua Qianshu. This time, the mourning family wants to see which side she is on. ”

Then, she glanced at the tortoiseshell meaningfully: "You must know that the mourners hate those who have two boats on their feet and sway from side to side. ”

The tortoiseshell's heart sank, and her eyelids couldn't help jumping. She knew what happened to Jin Lu that day. Xie Xinlan got a secret report from Tingyin, saying that Hua Qianshu intended to win over the eunuch Jin Lu for his own use.

She was a little gloating at the time. This eunuch Jin Lu has repeatedly grabbed credit in front of Xie Xinlan, if it weren't for his secret suppression and giving him a reputation for greedy money, I am afraid that he will be equal to himself. Hua Qianshu stared at him, that is, it was equivalent to digging a grave for him, just waiting for Xie Xinlan to give an order, and there would be no Jin Lu in this palace.

So, she's happy to see it happen.

But who would have thought that the development of this thing was a bit beyond their imagination. Jin Lu not only took advantage of this, but also made a trick for himself.

If these black things were sued in person, Xie Xinlan would not believe it at all, but he smiled. can be changed to this way, to put it mildly, Xie Xinlan will take it to heart. She wanted to say that it was not a fraud. But if this speculation is spoken, I am afraid that it will be even more self-defeating, and I will fall into a small belly in front of Xie Xinlan, and the impression of jealousy and jealousy will further confirm the evidence of my guilt.

Therefore, she has been pretending not to know, but she is more cautious when serving. Could it be that his unintentional words made Xie Xinlan suspicious, thinking that he was speaking for Yemuqing?

She smiled reluctantly: "Niangniang is wise, that night is also the identity of the county lord, and there is pressure from the Wang Mansion and the Xie family, and this matter guarantees that Hua Qianshu is speechless, and no one can save her life! ”

Xie Xinlan glanced at her with a slight sneer: "The identity of the county lord?

"Nature is not comparable. The tortoiseshell opened her mouth without thinking, and turned her eyes wide: "Queen Mother, what do you mean ......?"

Xie Xinlan snorted coldly, and his face was covered with frost: "That's what you think." Since she wants to make a move, she must be put to death. After that, hum...... The mourning family will naturally push Hua Qianyi out to apologize, and she can't delay her to continue to be her Mrs. Xie at night. ”

The tortoiseshell couldn't help but shiver again, with a panicked face: "The slave maid will go down and give orders." ”

Xie Xinlan saw all her expressions in her eyes, and her face was frosty: "Do everything yourself, even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't be perfect." From today onwards, those trivial matters in this palace will be handed over to Jin Lu to do, you don't have to ask everything personally, just follow the mourning family with peace of mind. ”

The tortoiseshell's lips moved, and she swallowed again: "Slave and maid, thank the Queen Mother for her grace." ”
