Gonggong Lin came out of the imperial study and saw so many people, so he hurriedly led them in, afraid that they would wait outside for a long time.

"Queen Mother, Regent, please inside."

In the imperial study, Mu Yan was arranging according to Mrs. Han's arrangement, making opinions on the drought, seeing that Mu Yan's word was so beautiful, Rong Xi was a little ashamed, she was bored a while ago, and she also tinkered for a while, and the words written were like dogs gnawing.

Mu Guichen picked up the rice paper written by Mu Yan and bowed his head lightly, expressing his satisfaction.

"Recently, His Majesty's progress has become more and more obvious."

Touching Mu Yan's head, Rong Xi said without hesitation.

was praised by her, Mu Yan's eyes were full of happiness, but he didn't learn to show it very much, he looked at Song Qiuning behind her curiously.

Song Qiuning took a step forward and saluted, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Nodding slightly, Mu Yan didn't know Song Qiuning's identity, so he had to look at Rong Xi.

"This is the cousin of the mourning family, Song Qiuning, the mourning family wants to keep her in the palace for a few days, and she can be regarded as accompanying us."

Being able to stay in the palace, Song Qiuning was naturally happy, and he could see rare things that could not be seen outside.

Thinking of the fruit he had brought from Wenzhou, Song Qiuning turned around and brought the basket full of loquat from the handmaiden's handmaiden.

"This is the loquat that the folk girl bought when she was in Wenzhou, and it was really difficult to transport this loquat along the way, and when I arrived in the capital, there were only a few left."

Song Qiuning finished speaking, and presented the loquat.

This loquat is not easy to preserve, not to mention the bumps on the road, it is not easy to pick out such a basket of good-looking loquats.

I don't know how much the loquat that Song Qiuning said about was broken.

"I have a heart."

Rong Xi thanked Mu Yan, and Song Qiuning looked at Mu Yan, and inevitably felt strange in his heart.

When she came in, Mu Yan didn't say a word, and her nephew was a little too cold.

"By the way, since Qiu Ning has taken so many loquats, let's send some to the regent."

Rong Xi said that, and asked Lu Qi to choose some beautiful ones from the basket and give them to Mu Guichen.

After all, fainting while begging for rain was thanks to Mu Guichen who sent her back, and this favor was a little difficult to return.

Happily took her loquat, Mu Guichen took out the loquat in the basket, and was about to taste it, but saw a thin insect crawling out of the loquat in his hand from the lower end.

Mu Guichen frowned and put the loquat down.

Just as he was about to take it again, Rong Xi also took a loquat over there, intending to give Mu Yan one, but saw that a thin insect also came out from the lower end.

"Ahh

Frightened, Rong Xi hurriedly threw the loquat out, and there was not a single loquat drilled out of it!

"It's all bugs."

Rong Xi frowned and couldn't help but ask Song Qiuning.

"This! It's impossible, I ate a few of them yesterday, and there were no bugs. ”

Song Qiuning took a few steps back, looking at the loquat on the ground in horror, it seemed that he was not lying.

Taking a closer look at the insects on the ground, Rong Xi reached out and took a new loquat and broke it directly, this loquat was intact, not even a single insect.

"Dead ...... He's dead! ”

Song Qiuning stared closely at the insects on the ground, and after crawling out, he died on the ground after he couldn't take two steps.

"What?"

Rong Xi looked at the loquat in his hand, and hurriedly pulled out his hairpin, ready to test the poison.

"! What do you mean? ”

Seeing her movements, Song Qiuning looked at her aggrievedly, didn't she suspect that Song Qiuning was poisoned?

The main thing is that the insects on the ground are a little abnormal, and there is a little foam in the mouth.

If it weren't poisonous, the worm wouldn't foam!

Song Qiuning watched the silver hairpin in Rong Xi's hand turn black, she stepped back in horror, shook her head and argued: "It's not me, I didn't poison it!" ”

Mu Guichen, who was sitting on the side, saw this scene, got up suddenly, strode in front of Rong Xi, and snatched the silver hairpin.

"This loquat is poisonous."

Rong Xi's eyes turned cold, looking at the basket of loquats, everyone took a step back in fear.

This loquat was sent by Song Qiuning, and naturally, everyone's suspicions were transferred to Song Qiuning.

Mu Guichen looked at Song Qiuning coldly, and asked with a questioning look in his eyes, so frightened that Song Qiuning knelt down.

"It's not me, I didn't poison it, mother, how could I harm you? I'm your cousin! ”

A line of clear tears slipped across his cheeks, and Song Qiuning's lips were bloodless.

No matter how bold she is, it is impossible for her to poison the fruit she sent, doesn't this make it clear to everyone that this poison is her?

The suspicion fell on Song Qiuning, Rong Xi looked at Song Qiuning's face, knowing that it couldn't be her, what's more, who would be so stupid?

She hurriedly dispelled all Mu Guichen's suspicions: "It won't be hers, even if it is poisoned, why would she be so stupid to poison the fruit she presents?" Isn't this telling everyone that this poison is what she did? ”

Mu Guichen listened to her words and slowly withdrew his gaze.

Song Qiuning also looked at Rong Xi gratefully, his body weakened, and he sat on the ground. Rong Xi walked up to her side and helped her up.

Her legs were weak and she had no strength, so she still had to rely on Rong Xi to reluctantly stand up and sit aside.

"Thousand feathers!"

Mu Guichen called Qianyu coldly, and Qianyu knew what he meant, and with his instructions, he went out of the imperial study to find out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rong Xi did not stay idle.

"Qiu Ning, tell me honestly, has anyone else approached this fruit?"

looked at Song Qiuning seriously, this matter is very important, poisoning the Queen Mother and His Majesty is a big crime!

Song Qiuning bit her lip lightly and looked at her maidservant.

"Empress Dowager Qiqi, when we brought this fruit back, there were a lot of people who touched it, grooms, attendants, but a lot of people!"

The maidservant took a step forward and answered the question for Song Qiuning.

Hearing this, he knew that it was not so simple to investigate this matter, Rong Xi had a headache and rubbed his temples.

"How do you check this?"

She said with a headache, but Mu Guichen said directly: "Arrest these people, interrogate them one by one, no matter who they are, bring them back." ”

After Mu Guichen gave the order again, his guards had already taken action.

Suddenly, a guard came in and came to Mu Guichen's side, not knowing what he was saying, Mu Guichen's face suddenly became ugly.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Rong Xi vaguely felt that this matter should have something to do with this loquat.

"Bring someone in!"
