Xiao Cui cried with a sad face, and when she heard her ask, she hurriedly recalled: "Slave... Guarding the small stove, after boiling the medicine, he filled the jar and came back... Didn't you meet anyone along the way, didn't you make any mistakes? ”

Ji Que said alertly: "Sister Xiaocui... Since this medicine is in a can... So has the jar ever been cleaned before filling? ”

Xiao Cui nodded with great certainty: "I have carefully cleaned the jar before boiling the medicine, because Sister Qianshan explained, the female monarch is not in good health, and she must carefully look at these utensils, do not incorporate impurities, so she has cleaned it very carefully." ”

Jiang Chengjia followed Ji Que's inquiry and continued to ask, "Have you ever left this jar?" ”

Xiao Cui's face became sad, she lowered her eyes and thought about it, suddenly raised her head, smashed her right hand into a fist between her left palm, and exclaimed, "I remember!" This jar... Xiao Qi in the courtyard touched it when he was in the east kitchen...."

"I was cleaning the stove at the time, and Xiao Qi went into the east kitchen, saying that he was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it here alone, so I came to take a look. The slave didn't pay much attention to it, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiao Qi taking the jar and washing it in clean water again. It's just that... Xiao Qi really cleaned the jar carefully, and didn't do anything to it.... When the slave saw her, she was scooping up the jar from the water. ”

Xiao Cui said a little confused and a little uncertain.

"Little Seven... Like you, since I entered the Hou Mansion, I have been serving the people around me, although she usually does some rough work in the outer courtyard, but people are loyal, Qianshan used to pick up the household registration of the maids in Luoyang before leaving... I still think this little seven foundations are clean... People are also simple and good. Jiang Chengjia rubbed his chin with his fingertips, lowered his head and guessed while thinking: "Perhaps, Xiao Qi is not the key to this matter, but I can't guarantee that she is a good person, if the Li family really gave her some irresistible temptation... I'm afraid I'm nothing here in her eyes. But these days, she has served me inside and out, and I look like a faithful one..."

She was suspicious for a long time and self-denial, so she unconsciously put her fingers in front of her knees and tapped them, and after thinking about it in her mind, she decided: "Xiao Cui, you go and call Xiao Qi to the courtyard." She was young, she was ambushed outside Junhou Mountain before, she was so frightened that her face was blue and she fainted for several hours, she was careless... We waited for Dr. Sun to come and make a show.... Tempt her, and you will know what you have or what you don't have. ”

Xiao Cui nodded and replied, "Oh." ”

Ji Que watched her retreat, raised her innocent little face, looked at Jiang Chengjia with watery eyes, and asked, "Female monarch... If that little seventh sister is not the culprit... So how do we catch the mastermind behind this? ”

Jiang Chengjia fixed his eyes and said with a light smile: "Do you want to see how the female monarch captures the thief?" ”

Ji Que nodded, his little face full of curiosity.

Jiang Chengjia rubbed her head again and smiled: "Does the finch know that the poisonous snake has entered the bushes, how can I force him out?" ”

Ji Que's face was full of doubts, and he scratched his head and asked, "It is extremely difficult to find poisonous snakes in the bushes... This bush is like a snake's home, how can it be forced? ”

"When Nujun was a child, with Nujun's brother picking Ganoderma lucidum in the mountain forest, the mountain forest is the most dense place where weeds grow. There are also a lot of poisonous snakes and beasts. And Ganoderma lucidum happens to like to grow on cliffs or places where fierce beasts gather. Once, when the female monarch wanted to go to the grass nest where the poisonous snake was circling to pick Ganoderma lucidum, she prepared chickens, ducks and poultry in advance and placed them in front of the snake hole. At this time, the bow and arrow are aimed at the poisonous snake seven inches, and if you hit it, you can completely subdue the poisonous snake. ”

Jiang Chengjia patiently talked to Ji Que, but she was a little apprehensive in her heart, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad for her to talk to the same child at this time.

She pondered it carefully, and thought that the finch was no better than others, although she was very lively and playful, and had the naughtiness that she should have at such an age, but her mind was very exquisite, and she was the daughter of Ji Xianzhi and Biyun, she must have been able to observe words and emotions since she was a child, but this world is sinister, and the finch has rarely seen it. Children still need to be taught from a young age to know how to guard against danger.

The little boy's brows furrowed deeply at first, and after a while, he smiled and said, "I understand what the female monarch means!" But the lady wants to say... This man who is doing his hands and feet in the medicine jar... Is it the poisonous snake, if you want to catch her, you have to use some lure to succeed? ”

Jiang Chengjia saw that Ji Que quickly understood what she meant, and immediately said with a shallow smile on his face: "What Que Que said is very right. ”

Soon, Qianshan came to the North Courtyard with Sun Yiling.

When Sun Qi was invited into the female monarch's bedroom, he kept his head down and didn't dare to look more, let alone ask more, and when he entered the door, he knelt on the ground: "What is the important matter for the female monarch to call the lower officials to come?" ”

Jiang Chengjia smiled, raised his hand, and motioned to the black tea serving on the side to hand the medicine jar to Sun Qi.

That Sun Qi borrowed the medicine jar, and Chaojiang Chengjia, who was a little surprised, glanced at it and said, "What does this mean, female monarch?" ”

"Lord Fulao, take a look at the decoction in this medicine jar, is there anything abnormal?" Jiang Chengjia stared at the medicine jar and said unhurriedly with a smile.

Sun Qi was stunned for a moment, his face seemed puzzled, but he still followed Jiang Chengjia's instructions, held the medicine jar, smelled it carefully, his face immediately changed greatly, and hurriedly put the medicine jar on the ground, kowtowed to Jiang Chengjia and asked for guilt: "The female monarch spares her life, the lower official is wronged, and the medicinal materials that the lower official contributes to the female monarch are all excellent medicines, and they are recorded in strict accordance with the amount, and they are all determined according to the female monarch's condition... Xiaguan... The lower officials have no intention of framing. This medicine.... It is definitely not the original prescription of the lower officials, but there is an extra safflower in it that blindly resists self-defense... This self-defense is to dispel rheumatism, relieve pain, dilute water and reduce swelling, but if it is mixed with safflower, it is taboo to dispense medicine, if there is an improper measurement of medicinal materials... Lives will be killed. "Let's read the book

"What?" Jiang Chengjia couldn't help but grab the robe covering her knees with both hands, squinted her eyes coldly, gritted her teeth and couldn't help but snort coldly, thinking in her heart: Lead the snake out of the hole, I didn't expect the snake to be a poisonous snake, and it really responded to what she said to Ji Que just now.

She smelled the decoction, only to feel that there was something strange, but she couldn't smell the saffron in it at all, if she really drank it, I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable. The safflower just happened to be the same as the cold poison in her body... If you add what Sun Qi said that there is self-defense in this medicine, and the two tastes are mutually restrictive, then she will either die or be injured tonight, even if she is a god body, but if she turns into a mortal and seals her divine power, it is difficult to resist such an assassination.

What a vicious way!

Jiang Chengjia didn't have to think about it, she could get it, who wanted to harm her in this mansion.

Except for Li Xiangjun, she can't think of anyone else.

She clenched her fists tightly, and after being silent for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said with Sun Qi: "Lord Sun, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, but if this matter is known to the prince... I'm afraid you'll also be charged with negligence, the prince has never been a tolerant person, and if something happens to me if I drink this bowl of medicine today, you will be dead. But I didn't drink it now, so I saved your life. Since I saved your life. You should also show your sincerity. ”

Sun Qi just raised his head and glanced at her, and he was so frightened by these words that he completely bowed to the ground, trembling and begging for mercy: "Please also ask the female monarch to give advice, and the lower officials will be used by the female monarch, and the liver and brain will be ruined." ”

"You don't have to say anything so heavy, you just need to play a play with me." Jiang Chengjia glanced at Qianshan.

She immediately understood Jiang Chengjia's meaning, and hurriedly rushed out, and boiled a bowl of ordinary decoction in the newly built small kitchen behind the north courtyard.

There were four people left in the house: Jiang Chengjia and Shui He, Black Tea, and Sun Qi.

She glanced coldly at Shuihe and Black Tea, and the two little girls immediately knelt down at her and said, "Slaves and maids, but according to the orders of the female monarch." ”

"I don't need you to do anything, just keep in mind what I found out in the medicine today, and don't bring it up." She instructed carefully, and then added to Sun Qi: "I also hope that Lord Sun will also do what I wish." ”

Sun Qi immediately kowtowed to her and shouted, "The lower officials are extremely obedient to the will of the female monarch. There is no disregard for the order of the female monarch. ”

Jiang Chengjia was tempted, and saw that Sun Qi really didn't know anything about this matter, and he was so sincere, so he put his mind at ease.

Sun Qi was so timid that he didn't dare to do such a thing with Li Xiangjun.

This recipe and the medicinal materials were all sent to Qianshan by Sun Qi every day by grabbing fresh medicinal materials and wrapping them in thin towels according to the amount. The medicinal materials are the same every day, but Jiang Chengjia can't guarantee that he won't use his hands and feet in the medicinal materials.

She knew Qianshan's temperament, and it had been a few days since this medicinal herb was taken from Sun Yiling's hands. This girl probably relaxed her vigilance a long time ago, and now she has handed over the decoction to Xiaocui to do, which means that Qian Shan has not checked the medicinal materials in the next few days.

But Sun Qi was slightly frightened by her, and he was already out of his mind, he was so bold, he couldn't help the Li family to do such a heartbreaking thing.

After confirming that Sun Qi was not involved in this matter, Jiang Chengjia also needed several people in the room to keep it a secret, otherwise the next scene would not be able to continue.

Jiang Chengjia glanced at Ji Que, who was sitting beside him, and said with a gentle smile: "Is it okay for Que Que to keep this matter a secret?" ”

She said very gently and beautifully, and her attitude towards Shuihe, black tea and Sun Qi was completely different.

Ji Que nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, Finch's mouth is very firm." ”

Jiang Chengjia nodded with satisfaction, and after a while, Qian Shan hurriedly entered the house with a bowl of hot decoction.

"Girl, the decoction is ready."

Jiang Chengjia glanced at her, and with a turn of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the courtyard outside the house, where Xiao Cui was walking slowly with Xiao Qi.

"Lord Sun, may I ask you something?" Jiang Chengjia whispered to Sun Qi.
