Chapter Forty-Nine: Poison Testing

Yinye's hands were a little cold at this time, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

comforted the palace maid, lit the lamp, Chen Fang pushed open the door of the storage room, and at this time a palace maid was lying in the storage room, looking completely dead.

Chen Fang approached the lamp, and saw that this palace maid had a hideous face at this time, she must have been extremely painful and uncomfortable before she died, and there were traces of scratching next to her, obviously she struggled before she died, and it was probably the sound made at that time that was heard by Yinye.

Chen Fang opened the collar of one side of the palace maid's clothes, and there were several shocking blood marks on the palace maid's neck, the blood had already coagulated, and it was obviously caught by herself in the struggle.

"Poisoning, very poisonous! From poisoning to death, there is only a short cup of tea! ”

"My lord, how did she get poisoned?"

"Look at the side!"

At this time, next to the corpse, the cabinet where the maltose was originally stored had been opened, and the sealed maltose had been unsealed at this time.

"It's maltose! She eats the poison in maltose. ”

"Do you know her?"

"I seem to have seen her at Concubine Jing's place!"

"My lord, what do we do now? Silver Leaf is afraid! ”

Chen Fang patted Yinye's hand so that the palace maid would not tremble because of fear.

"My lord, if you don't tell your mother about it now, someone has poisoned the maltose."

Chen Fang looked at the silver leaf and shook his head.

If Wu Meiniang knows about this, with Wu Meiniang's temperament, I am afraid that no one in the Shangshi Bureau will be able to run.

At that time, anyone who has had contact with this jar of maltose will inevitably be tortured.

He and Yinye can clear their suspicions, but they are others, and when the time comes, even if those cooks don't die, they will be stripped off a few layers of skin.

Thinking of the scene of those cooks being whipped with leather whips, hooked collarbones, and scalded with soldering irons, Chen Fang was in a cold sweat.

Thinking of these cooks who frolicked together on weekdays, how could Chen Fang put them in danger in order to clear his suspicions.

At this time, Yinye was not stupid, what Chen Fang thought of, she also thought of, but her reaction was slower than Chen Fang's.

"What do we do now, my lord?"

"Find the poisoner before dawn!"

Chen Fang's words made Yinye's eyes widen, how could he find the person who poisoned him before dawn! The time is too short, and there is no way to find out.

"This, my lord, how can I find this?"

Chen Fang suddenly grabbed Yinye's arm with his hand at this time. The grasp was a little tight, but the palace maid was panicked at this time and didn't realize it.

"I need help!"

"I'm going to find Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Because the first thing that Silver Leaf thought of was Princess Anding, and the only one who could help them at this time was probably Princess Anding.

Chen Fang shook his head, Princess Anding did have an extraordinary status in this palace, but she was not someone who could help him.

"Who's going to need your help?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Ahh

"Okay, I'll go to His Royal Highness the Prince, and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can handle this matter at this time."

"Wait, it's late at night, and you won't be able to see the prince when you go to the East Palace!"

Yinye also thought at this time, she was an ordinary palace maid, and it was strange that the guards of the East Palace could let her see the prince at this time.

"It seems that you are still going to trouble Princess Anding, you go to the princess now, let her take you to the prince, remember not to make a noise about this matter, you can only explain it to the prince."

At this time, Yinye listened to Chen Fang's words and had already walked towards the outside of the Shang Food Bureau, while Chen Fang put the lamp next to him and looked at the jar of maltose, which was already less than half. Then he looked at the dead maid.

"Offended! I will find you the one who did you harm, and I will make amends. If there is an afterlife, don't be too greedy. ”

Chen Fang untied the corpse's clothes and examined it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

After the inspection, he put on all the palace maid's clothes and took out a silver needle, which Chen Fang must have with him, until now, unless he made his own food, Chen Fang would check it first.

Silver Needle picked out a little maltose from the maltose jar, and then Chen Fang actually put it directly into his mouth.

If you are seen by others, you will think that Chen Fang is crazy, knowing that someone in the maltose is highly poisoned, but she still dares to eat it.

Chen Fang really understands that it is only a trace amount and will not cause death.

The poison of this era is still at the level of extracting from animals and plants, plus some mineral poisons, there is really no trace of things that can kill people.

The so-called sealing of the throat with blood is just an exaggeration in the novel.

What's more, this palace maid would die so miserably after stealing a small half jar of maltose, so that Chen Fang could confirm that he would be fine if he tested the poison.

After a while, Chen Fang frowned slightly, got up and went to the storage room where the chrysanthemum wine was stored, patted open a jar of chrysanthemum wine, and poured it into his throat with his head up.

"That's a good idea!"

It seems that he is the same person who poisoned him when he first crossed over.

Chen Fang calmed down at this time and carefully recalled the whole thing. The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt.

The timing is really good, Your Majesty just went to Daming Palace today, and someone poisoned this maltose.

If it weren't for the palace maid in the Jingfei Palace who came to the Shangshi Bureau to ask for something tonight, but felt that no one in the Shangshi Bureau was stealing food, the maltose would have entered the mouths of the mother and the princess tomorrow.

I'm afraid that this person is not going to kill himself, but Wu Meiniang.

His predecessor was just a knife for Wu Meiniang, and he thought about it, when he came to this world, he was just a small official of Honglu Temple, and the other party had no need to plan to kill him.

Chen Fang came to the corpse again, and at this time looked at the hideous face of the palace maid, and the face was unconsciously changed to Wu Meiniang's.

"The person who poisoned must know Niangniang's daily eating habits, and should also know that the rock sugar gourd does not need to be tried every day."

"The other party should also know the pattern in this food bureau, and it is not easy to ensure that no one detects and poisons."

"It seems that Niangniang also has the other party's talents! And it's someone who has been with her mother for a long time. Otherwise, the other party can't grasp the eating habits of the mother. ”

"Pink?"

Chen Fang shook his head, this girl is loyal to Wu Meiniang, and there is no reason to harm Wu Meiniang. Judging from the contact between Chen Fang and Taohong, Chen Fang absolutely believes in Taohong.

"No, what's wrong, it's not necessarily the people around Wu Meiniang, the people around Li Zhi also know Niangniang's eating habits. These days, Wu Meiniang is eating with Li Zhi, who will it be? ”

"This person is only harming Wu Meiniang, not Li Zhi, is it..."

Chen Fang sat next to the body of the palace maid, and at this time, the footsteps outside had already been heard, leaving from the silver leaf, counting the distance, it should be the prince who came.

At this time, the person who came had already pushed open the door of the Shang Shi Bureau, and from the footsteps, Chen Fang heard that there were five people.
