Chapter 554: Perception
Chu Qingli glanced at it, but found that the handmaid's hand that put down the teapot was trembling slightly, if it weren't for the careful look at it, it wouldn't be obvious at all, Chu Qingli practiced martial arts, and his eyes were naturally much better than ordinary people, Chu Qingli couldn't help but look at the maid.
The maid felt Chu Qingli's inquiring gaze, and a panicked look flashed on her face, and then she was immediately pressed down by her, burying her head lower and retreating.
Liu Ningxi saw that Chu Qingli had been staring at the servant girl, and a trace of doubt surfaced in his heart, until the servant girl went out, Liu Ningxi asked, "What's wrong with Qingli?" Why do you keep staring at the servant girl? ”
Chu Qingli retracted his gaze and showed an okay smile at Liu Ningxi: "It's just that the servant girl looks familiar." ”
Liu Ningxi poured a cup of tea for Chu Qingli and replied with a smile: "That maid is an old man in the Second Prince's Mansion, and you haven't come to the Second Prince's Mansion once or twice, so it's not surprising that you've seen it." ”
Chu Qingli shook his head: "Something must have happened, if it was just encountered in the house, it would definitely not leave an impression on me." After speaking, Chu Qingli fell into deep thought, and kept thinking about where he had seen that person.
Liu Ningxi saw that Chu Qingli was still entangled, and couldn't help but persuade him: "It's not a big deal to think about it, Qingli don't waste your brain, come and eat some pastries, this pastry is a cook specially invited by the second prince from Jiangnan, and the craftsmanship is not ordinarily good." ”
Chu Qingli's brows still did not loosen when he thought about it, and he always felt that it was a big deal, so he still secretly thought, and picked up a piece of pastry while thinking, but when the pastry was handed to his mouth, Chu Qingli smelled a familiar smell from the tip of his nose, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly looked at Liu Ningxi, only to see that Liu Ningxi was already about to put the pastry in his mouth, Chu Qingli shouted: "Don't eat it!" ”
The sudden shouting startled Liu Ningxi, she still maintained the posture of sending the pastry to her mouth, her eyes were round, and she looked at Chu Qingli inexplicably, not knowing what was going on.
Chu Qingli snatched the pastry from Liu Ningxi's hand, and looked unkind: "Ningxi, it's poisonous." ”
Hearing this, Liu Ningxi was even more shocked, and the whole person stood up from the chair and looked at Chu Qingli in disbelief: "Qingli, what's going on......
Chu Qingli is a leader in both medicine and poison, as soon as the pastry was handed to her mouth, she smelled a taste of poison in it, although the fragrance was very similar to the spices used to make pastries, there was no difference at all, but Chu Qingli was different, she smelled it as soon as she smelled it.
This pastry is for ordinary doctors, and they can't notice it, but fortunately, Chu Qing left today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Ningxi, it seems that Concubine Miao has already put her hand into the Second Prince's Mansion, this pastry is the best proof, if you eat this pastry, I'm afraid it will be ......" Chu Qingli said with a solemn face.
Liu Ningxi's face changed, a little pale, and he looked at Chu Qingli with fear for a while: "Fortunately, you came." ”
Chu Qingli showed a reassuring smile at Liu Ningxi: "It's okay, Ningxi will catch the poisoner first, just now I saw that the servant girl was very uncomfortable, not surprisingly, this poison was given by the servant girl, you first order someone to arrest her." ”
Liu Ningxi nodded, her face showing a hint of authority, she stood up and walked to the door, and commanded the guards in a cold voice, "Find Fluttershy and take Fluttershy to the hall to watch." ”
After Liu Ningxi finished speaking, he turned to Chu Qingli and said, "Qing, let's go to the hall, I want to see what Fluttershy is going to do." ”
That Fluttershy was the maid just now, Chu Qingli nodded, looking at Liu Ningxi with some relief, and was very happy to see that Liu Ningxi could also show a strong side.
This Chu Qingli could directly ask Du Qinghe to catch Xiao Fluttershy, but this idea was wiped out by Chu Qingli himself, and now in the Second Prince's Mansion, Liu Ningxi is here again, so naturally it is not her turn to be the princess of Mu to call the shots, and this time let Liu Ningxi deal with Xiao Fluttershy herself, it is a good opportunity for Liu Ningxi to stand up, and this is not the case with killing chickens and monkeys.
Fluttershy felt that she had been seen through by Chu Qingli, she never expected Chu Qingli to come suddenly today, but when she thought of the nobleman's orders, Chu Qingli and Liu Ningxi were both her to deal with anyway, so why not kill two birds with one stone, so Fluttershy didn't stop poisoning, and even sprinkled some more.
When she came out of the main courtyard, Fluttershy always felt that Chu Qingli's sharp eyes were pressing on her heart like a big mountain, and she always felt that Chu Qingli had seen through it, so as soon as Fluttershy returned to her yard, she hurriedly packed up her baggage and planned to escape, but when Fluttershy walked to the door with her baggage on her back, a group of guards had already arrived in a menacing manner.
Fluttershy panics and turns around to run, but she is a palace maid who doesn't know martial arts, let alone light skills, but in a moment she is caught by the guards and tied up in the hall.
In the hall, Chu Qingli and Liu Ningxi were already sitting upright, looking at Fluttershy who was pressed in by the guards, and seeing Fluttershy's face again, Chu Qingli's mind flashed, and finally remembered where Fluttershy had seen her.
Fluttershy is the maidservant who Chu Qingli and Xiao Pan pick out to detoxify the second prince after they get the acacia incense that night, but Yue Junren brings Liu Ningxi later, so Fluttershy doesn't come in handy.
Chu Qing sank into her heart, and she seemed to be able to guess why Fluttershy had done this.
Liu Ningxi didn't know Chu Qingli's mental activity yet, her usually gentle face was cold at the moment, and her soft eyes were also sharp at the moment, shooting at Fluttershy like cold light.
"Get on your knees!" Liu Ningxi scolded coldly.
Fluttershy had never seen Liu Ningxi like this, and with a shake of her body, she knelt down with a "plop", looked at Liu Ningxi uneasily, and asked in fear, "Second Imperial Princess, the slave doesn't know what wrong she has done, you want to do this to me." ”
Liu Ningxi saw that this servant girl still wanted to quibble, but she didn't know how to refute it for a while, and subconsciously glanced at Chu Qingli, only to see Chu Qingli nodding at her, her eyes full of affirmation.
After receiving Chu Qingli's support, Liu Ningxi suddenly felt confident in her heart, and her voice became more majestic: "Xiaodie, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, come and bring the pastry!" ”
Fluttershy was holding on to the last trace of luck, until Liu Ningxi said this, she was completely unconfident, and hurriedly looked at Liu Ningxi and begged for mercy: "Second Imperial Princess, spare your life!" The slave is wrong! The slave doesn't dare anymore! ”
Liu Ningxi snorted coldly, unmoved, if she was afraid that she would have softened before, now that she has a different identity, she can't be soft-hearted anymore, and Chu Qingli is still watching her from the side.
The pastries are brought up, and as Fluttershy cries, Liu Ningxi coldly looks at Fluttershy's crying appearance.
