"My sister made her own sachets?" Xi Guifei's face was incredible.

"yes, what's wrong?" Qin Kexin didn't know why Concubine Xi reacted so much.

When Concubine Xi heard this, she immediately realized that her reaction was too strong, and immediately adjusted her state, "It's not much, it's just that this camphor lotus sachet is extremely cumbersome to make, but I didn't expect my sister to make it herself." ”

It turned out that because of this, Qin Kexin explained that she had learned from Mama Qiao from below.

Concubine Xi didn't ask anymore, and then answered Qin Kexin's question just now, "There is a home remedy in the concubine's hometown, which says that adding a medicinal herb called bitter Jiao to the sachet of camphor lotus is beneficial to the wearer of the sachet, so the concubine specially added some to it, this bitter taste is indeed pungent, maybe this thing smells different." ”

"I see." Qin Kexin suddenly realized.

Xi Guifei continued: "Although this bitter Jiao has a pungent taste, it is extremely subtle, and it is almost impossible to smell it because of the fragrance of camphor lotus, I didn't expect my sister's nose to be so sensitive, I can smell it." ”

"My sister doesn't know, this palace is sensitive to the fragrance of this camphor lotus, naturally others can't smell it, this palace can smell it, and I don't blame my sister, my sister is also kind." Qin Kexin explained.

"Why don't my sister return this sachet to the concubine, and the concubine will make a normal one for my sister?" As she spoke, Concubine Xi stepped forward to untie the sachet on Qin Kexin's body.

But Qin Kexin took two steps back, blocked Concubine Xi's hand and said, "No need, I'm used to smelling this smell in this palace for so long, and it's not good to smell anything else, and this is good for the body and commemorative significance, so this palace won't return it to you." ”

"Good, good." Concubine Xi smiled: "My sister likes to stay." ”

Solving the doubts in his heart, Qin Kexin didn't want to stay for a long time, so he came up with Xining Garden and walked towards Soft Fragrance Garden.

But as soon as Qin Kexin turned around, she was stopped by Concubine Xi, "Sister, you forgot to take the pastry." ”

Qin Kexin paused, and looked back at Xi Guifei holding the pastry.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Kexin ordered Yu'er to step forward and take the pastry.

"Sister don't say it, Bengong almost forgot, I have to let Yu'er come again! Needless to say, Hongu went back to eat pastries. Qin Kexin said with a smile.

"Okay, congratulations to my sister." The West Concubine saluted.

But on the way back, Qin Kexin kept frowning and didn't say a word, even Yu'er didn't know what was wrong.

"Won't you eat it?" Back at Soft Fragrance Garden, Yu'er was very puzzled when she saw that Qin Kexin was not in such a hurry to eat pastries as before.

Although Qin Kexin was very itchy at this time and wanted to eat it very much, she tried her best to hold back and shake her head, Qin Kexin only realized at this time that her feelings about this pastry were - addicted!

"Take it down quickly, don't throw it away, and put it in a place where the palace can't see it." Qin Kexin pointed to the box of pastries and ordered Yu'er.

Although Yu'er didn't know what was going on, she saw Qin Kexin's eager appearance and hurriedly did so.

Qin Kexin couldn't help but think about the pastry.

"Niangniang, if you don't eat it, do you also have suspicions about Concubine Xi." Yu'er asked tentatively, she had long suspected that there was something wrong with the pastry before, but Qin Kexin had been eating it correctly.

Although Qin Kexin was very reluctant to admit it, she still nodded, and then instructed Yu'er: "Don't make a noise about this matter." ”

"Okay." Yu'er didn't know Qin Kexin's plan, but she knew that if she did it, it would definitely not go wrong

Qin Kexin didn't eat pastries in the morning, and in the afternoon she began to feel dizzy and weak in her limbs, which was similar to the symptoms of the previous times.

"Niangniang, do you want the slave to go to the imperial doctor.

"Don't." Qin Kexin hurriedly stopped.

Concubine Xi must have stared at the soft incense garden's every move, and at this time, she blatantly asked the imperial doctor for fear of startling the snake.

"But it's not a matter for my mother to go on like this." Yu'er was already sweating profusely.

Qin Kexin thought about it carefully, the last time she was in this situation, she just ate pastries.

At the time, I thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that it is not true.

In order to further confirm, Qin Kexin instructed: "Go and bring the morning pastries, and try it in this palace." ”

Because Yu'er had suspected it before, he immediately understood what Qin Kexin meant, and hurried to get the leftover pastries in the morning.

Waiting for Yu'er to bring it, Qin Kexin hurriedly ate a few pieces, and then waited quietly to see if he would get better.

There were still a few pieces of pastry left, and Yu'er was curious, so she also took half of it and put it in her mouth.

But as soon as the pastry reached her mouth, Yu'er immediately spit it out.

"What's wrong?" Qin Kexin asked eagerly.

Yu'er hurriedly ran to take a sip of water, and then said eagerly: "This pastry tastes so salty, didn't the queen mother eat it?" ”

Qin Kexin shook his head when he heard this, he didn't know if what Yu'er said was true or not, if it was true, it was really scary.

Not daring to delay, Qin Kexin hurriedly found a few maidservants to also taste the pastries and see how they felt.

Sure enough, the reaction of several palace maids after tasting it was the same as Yu'er's touch, they all spit it out as soon as they ate it, and said in unison, "This is too salty!" ”

Qin Kexin's face changed in an instant!

What the hell is going on, why can't I eat it myself?

". Do you want to arrest Xi Guifei? "Yu'er had already found out that there was something wrong with that Xi Guifei.

"Don't be impatient, we haven't figured out what this matter is going on, let's pretend that nothing happened, and this palace has its own plans." Qin Kexin's mind was spinning rapidly, what to do.

Yu'er nodded and agreed.

Qin Kexin's mind flashed a lot of previous pictures about Xi Guifei, and now that she thinks about it, she is really scary.

Before he knew the truth of the matter, Qin Kexin didn't even tell Xiao Shujun.

Thinking that looking for the imperial doctor in the palace would be suspicious of Concubine Xi, Qin Kexin ordered Yu'er to find a reliable doctor outside the palace to find out the secrets of camphor lotus and pastries.

"Doctor, what is the matter with the smell of this camphor lotus and the fact that this pastry is so fishy?" Qin Kexin couldn't wait to know the answer, because this answer could mean an earth-shattering conspiracy. "Some people say that the sachet of this camphor lotus is added with bitter herbs that are beneficial to the body, so it has a slightly pungent taste, doctor, do you think it is true?"

When the doctor heard this, he began to carefully inspect the lotus sachets and pastries, and did things for the queen.

He didn't dare to take it lightly, after a few tea inspections, the doctor seemed to have completed the inspection, and then turned to Qin Kexin and said: "Queen Qiyu, this chapter of lotus sachets is indeed added to the bitter grass, so there is some pungent taste, and this bitter grass is indeed good for the body,"

"Really?" Qin Kexin was happy at this time, if this was the case, it would mean that Concubine Xi was fine, and her confidant had been saved.

"But......" the doctor immediately turned his words, and all eyes were fixed on him, and he continued, "although this bitter herb is good for the body, if it is taken and worn with this salty pastry with apricot grass, it is a different world. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Kexin continued to be worried, she had suspected that Zhang Lotus and pastries were harmful to her body when they were added together, but she didn't expect this doctor's words to be said over there.

The doctor, after a moment's hesitation, continued: "If these two are worn and taken together, they will produce a deadly poison, which first grows quietly in the human body, and is a chronic poison, but it is old and deep. Those who are poisoned will die violently. “

"What?" Please Kexin and Yu'er screamed almost at the same time, how could this be?

The doctor knew that there was chaos in the palace, and someone must have been poisoned, seeing Qin Kexin's pale face, he boldly guessed: "May I ask if the queen mother has been poisoned?" The strangest thing about this poison is that it will rely on the pastry with apricot grass, but the saltiness of the pastry cannot be found by the poisoning person, because of the bitter grass. ”

After the doctor finished speaking, Qin Kexin was already stunned in place. Is Xi Guifei going to kill herself? And why did she do it? Many questions exploded in Qin Kexin's mind.

Yu'er naturally had the same doubt, but she knew that the top priority now was to save the queen's mother, and everything else could be put aside for the time being, so she hurriedly chased the doctor and said, "Is there a way to solve this poison?" ”

The doctor said after a moment of thought; "The solution is the solution, but the development of this antidote is time-consuming and laborious, and it has been a few years since it was developed, and the poisoned person has already died violently, so it is best to find the person who poisoned the drug for the antidote."

Yu'er and Qin Kexin fell into a desperate situation, wouldn't it be more difficult to control the poisoner to have an antidote than to ascend to the sky"

"Alright, you go down first." Now that it has been determined that the sachets and pastries are poisonous, the doctor's task is complete.

When the doctor heard this, he withdrew first/

"Niangniang, I'm going to go to Concubine Xi to ask for an antidote." Yu'er was excited, she didn't want Qin Kexin to have any three strengths and two shortcomings.

But Qin Kexin stopped Yu'er again, "We can't act recklessly, Concubine Xi wants to frame this palace, we have to find out her purpose, we can't startle the snake before this." ”

Qin Kexin couldn't help but analyze the purpose of Xi Guifei, the person she trusted the most was the one who thought about only her own death, Qin Kexin didn't mention how sad she was. Thinking that Concubine Xi definitely didn't harm herself for the sake of favor, she never showed her liking for His Majesty, but what was it for?

Qin Kexin was confused for a while, but Yu'er suddenly exclaimed: "Wouldn't Xi Guifei be Liangchuan's spy?" When the king of Xiqi said that Xi Guifei came to the Central Plains to be a concubine voluntarily, not forced by him, Yu'er began to doubt Xi Guifei's true identity and purpose, and doubted the truth of what she said about her tragic life experience.
