Shangguan Beitang looked at Yuzhu, who was heartbroken and had fainted, picked her up, and walked to the bedroom.

Mu Nanfeng and Xiao Ru followed behind, and Mu Nanfeng asked, "Miss Xiao Ru, think about it carefully, have you eaten anything special in the past two days?" ”

Xiao Ru held her handkerchief and thought as she walked, and said: "Niangniang hasn't eaten anything else, two days ago, Niangniang wanted to eat cold, but the slave didn't let her eat, yesterday's birthday of the prince, and the food was all noodles." Isn't it that there are too many things in the house in the past two days, and you are tired? ”

"If you are tired, that is, the fetal image is unstable, the fetal heart will not die so soon, it must be something that is extremely effective." Mu Nanfeng said again.

The two thought about it and analyzed, and then arrived at the door of the bedroom, and Xiaoru hurriedly ran forward to open the curtain.

Shangguan Beitang carried the person to the bed, and Xiaoru stepped forward to pull the quilt away and cover Yuzhu.

As soon as Mu Nanfeng entered the house, he smelled a faint strange fragrance. It's just that before he had time to think about it, Shangguan Beitang grabbed his arm and pulled him to the Yuzhu bed.

Panting and said: "Brother Nanfeng, I have never begged others in my life, today I beg you to save Yuzhu and save the child in her womb!" ”

"Lord Wang, the villain must do his best." Mu Nanfeng said and took Yuzhu's pulse again. Still the same as before, he sighed, shook his head and said: "Now, the villain can only prescribe a prescription to let the stillborn in this womb slip out, otherwise after a long time, I am afraid that the side princess will also lose her life." ”

"So, is there no other way?" Shangguan Beitang's tears were about to overflow.

"There's no other way." Mu Nanfeng lowered his head and said.

Xiaoru's tears also flowed, she wiped her tears while taking off the hairpin ornament on Yuzhu's head, afraid that she would make Yuzhu uncomfortable if she fell asleep like this.

She casually put a pair of silver hairpins on the table, but caught a glimpse of a plate of pastries on the table.

In an instant, she was excited, as if she had thought of something.

She stepped forward and picked up the plate of pastries and looked at it.

Mu Nanfeng saw her strange appearance and asked, "Miss Xiaoru, didn't you think of something?" ”

Xiao Ru looked at Shangguan Beitang a little timidly and did not speak.

Shangguan Beitang asked a little anxiously, "What did you think of?" Say it quickly. Watch me do what? ”

Xiaoru was so frightened that she cried out and said: "Yesterday, when Niangniang was talking to the officials, the prince sent someone to bring a plate of matcha cake, and Niangniang loved it very much, so she ate two more pieces. ”

"Yes! This king sent someone to send a plate of matcha cakes, but is there anything wrong? Shangguan Beitang said puzzledly.

Xiaoru pounced on her knees and said with a crying voice: "Niangniang has been very careful about her diet since she was pregnant. In addition to the food cooked in the kitchen, I don't eat anything next to it every day, that is, I ate some matcha cakes yesterday. ”

"Don't you suspect that there is something wrong with this pastry, but this pastry was made and served by the kitchen, and I asked Yulan from my yard to send it to Yuzhu in person." Shangguan Beitang was not angry when he heard this, and analyzed it little by little.

"The slave didn't dare, the slave just thought of these things and said it, and asked the prince to forgive him." Xiao Ru hurriedly kowtowed and said.

"What are you crying about? The king doesn't blame you. Shangguan Beitang looked at her a little impatiently. The foolishness of the woman only knows how to cry when she encounters something, and there is no power to solve it.

He flicked his sleeves and shouted outside the house, "Uncle Qin, pass Yulan over." Call all the cooks in the kitchen. ”

Xiao Ru was not angry when she saw that the lord of the family was not angry, so she felt that her body was not shaking so much.

Mu Nanfeng answered: "Is there a problem with the pastry, you will know if you check it, but there are still leftovers to eat?" ”

"Yes, there are two pieces left, and the slave maid thought that the mother liked to eat them, so she deliberately set them aside and put them together with this plate of hibiscus cakes, oh, these are these two pieces." Xiao Ru got up, flicked the pastries on the plate, and picked up two pale green matcha cakes from below.

Mu Nanfeng took the pastry, took out a silver needle, pierced it on the pastry, and then took it out and looked at it, but the silver needle was not blackened.

He took the pastry to his nose again and sniffed it, but did not speak. Then he broke a small piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then said, "What a scheming person who poisoned him!"

Shangguan Beitang was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Nanfeng, is this matcha cake really poisonous?" ”

Mu Nanfeng nodded, and then said: "This poison is nameless, colorless and tasteless, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect. It is extremely damaging to the fetus and can inhibit the growth of the fetus. ”

"Since it's poison, the county lord of Wenxiang also ate some, how can she be fine." Xiao Ru thought about it and said.

Shangguan Beitang also looked at Mu Nanfeng with puzzled eyes.

Mu Nanfeng said: "The prince doesn't know, although the effect of this poison is powerful, it is not a big problem for ordinary people. The fetus is already young and weak in the womb of a pregnant woman, and it will never touch this. ”

Shangguan Beitang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard this, he clenched his fists, and said in a trembling voice: "Who is so insidious and vicious, not even letting go of a young fetus. ”

"I'm afraid that this person's evil intentions don't stop there." Mu Nanfeng looked at Yuzhu with some distress and said.

Shangguan Beitang was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Nanfeng, why did you say this?" ”

Mu Nanfeng replied: "If it is just this non-vacuuming medicinal effect, as a pregnant woman, how can Niangniang not notice that the fetus in her womb is abnormal? Presumably, this person also used some means to not make the side princess feel uncomfortable, but also to kill people invisibly. Moreover, this matcha cake was sent by the prince, and it can also be blamed on the prince. ”

Mu Nanfeng asked Xiao Ru again: "The princess slept very deeply last night?"

"Yes."

"And who's keeping vigil in the outhouses?"

"It's also a slave."

"Did you hear or see anything unusual last night?"

The slave didn't feel anything unusual, but for some reason? Slave and maid, slave and maid also slept deeply. Xiao Ru replied cautiously.

"That's weird, if the princess alone is asleep, you are the same." Mu Nanfeng said.

Xiao Ru lowered her head as if thinking about something, and after a long time she said: "The slave maid slept groggily last night, as if she smelled a very fragrant smell, but she didn't know what it was, it was as fragrant as the wind and clouds in the fairy palace. ”

After this reminder, Mu Nanfeng suddenly remembered that when he came into the house in the morning, there was indeed a very peculiar smell in the house.

So he went to the window, and looked back and forth at the windows in the house.

Sure enough, on the window on the west side, there was a small hole in the papier-mâché window. Looking down further, there was still a little incense ash on the window.

Mu Nanfeng twisted a little with his fingers, approached his nose and sniffed. He muttered, "I see, I see." ”

Shangguan Beitang stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Brother Nanfeng, what have you discovered? ”

"Lord Wang, this person's scheming is terrifying!"

"How?"

Mu Nanfeng stuck a little more incense ash, let Shangguan Beitang look at it, and said: "This incense is Jiumu agarwood, and those who smell this incense are like walking in a fairyland, comfortable and free." It can be quite deep and difficult to wake up. It seems that this person knows a lot about spices, and he is also very careful about the dosage. ”

"If you use it less, I'm afraid that the princess on the other side won't work, if it is too much, and the princess on the side will sleep for a long time, we will definitely be suspicious. And he just let the princess sleep lazily. Mu Nanfeng said again.

"It's really a vicious mind, my Beixuan Mansion has always been kind to people, who wants to harm people. I don't want to think about it, I grew up with Yuzhu since I was a child, and now she is my side princess, the fetus in the womb is naturally my child, the tiger poison does not eat the child, how can this king harm him? Shangguan Beitang paced back and forth twice, and analyzed.

Mu Nanfeng looked at the people on both sides, and reminded him in his words

Said: "This person is extremely smart, I'm afraid he knows something." ”

Shangguan Beitang was silent for a moment and said no more.

Mu Nanfeng looked at Xiaoru and said, "Go get pen and ink, I'll write a recipe for Niangniang." ”

Xiao Ru agreed to take the pen and ink, and then walked to the bed and applied a hot towel to Yuzhu's forehead.

At this time, she suddenly saw two crystal tears rolling down the corners of Yuzhu's eyes.

She cautiously whispered, "Niangniang, you're awake." ”

When Shangguan Beitang heard this, he also hurriedly stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Yuzhu's hand, and said, "Yuzhu, you woke up." ”

Yuzhu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were puzzled, and he looked at Shangguan Beitang with teary eyes. With all the strength of his body, he withdrew his hand from Shangguan Beitang's hand. Struggling to turn his back.

She was in a daze and heard that the matcha cake sent by the prince was poisonous, so she naturally thought that Shangguan Beitang was trying to harm her. Later, although Mu Nanfeng analyzed that the murderer had someone else. But she only cared about her own sadness, and she didn't hear it clearly.

Naturally, as soon as she opened her eyes, all her grievances were vented on Shangguan Beitang.

Shangguan Beitang felt her alienation and misunderstanding, and understood that she had naturally heard what they were saying.

Inexplicably, he felt a burst of sadness, and a wave of warmth welled up in his eyes. He hurriedly wiped the corner of his eyes with the placket of his clothes and said, "You all stand down, I will talk to the princess for a while." ”

Xiao Yiqing also wrote the prescription and went to grab the medicine. Xiao Ru stepped back and closed the door.

Shangguan Beitang looked at Yuzhu and said, "Sister Yuzhu, you also suspect that it's me, right?" ”

Yuzhu sobbed and replied in a low voice, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"You and I have grown up together since childhood, don't you still understand what my temperament is? Now even you doubt me. Shangguan Beitang muttered.

Yuzhu turned around violently, looked at him with cold and hateful eyes, and said, "Shangguan Beitang, do you know that your face is very hateful, and my whole life has been ruined by you." For you, I gave up my marriage, I let go of the person I love the most. ”

"For you, I was deceived by the Queen Mother and raped, and now, you refuse to let go of my children. Do you know that is my last hope? Yuzhu's words turned into crying at the end.

Shangguan Beitang listened, feeling guilty and uneasy, he understood that Yuzhu had paid too much for him. He said in a low voice but firmly: "Sister Yuzhu, I know that I am sorry for you in this life, and no compensation can relieve the pain in your heart. But don't worry, I will find the real culprit and give justice to the son in your womb. ”
