The family sending team walked for ten days, and finally arrived at the border between Rongjiang and Xidi, that is, the city of Quanzhou.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe ordered to rest for one night in the post house in the city and hit the road early tomorrow morning.

The person in charge of the post house received them well, after all, this is the princess of Rongjiang Kingdom and her relatives to Xidi Kingdom. The first time the person in charge of the post house saw the person who came to greet him in person, this shows that His Majesty of the West Di Kingdom likes the princess of their country very much, otherwise as the king of a country, why should he come to greet him in person, and he personally went to the capital to marry the princess, which has never happened since ancient times.

Ye Xi was sitting in her room and was about to have dinner, but someone outside looked at the door, and Xuanzhu, who was standing behind her, asked, "Who?" ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe outside asked, "Xiaoxi, can I come in?" I want to have dinner with you! He asked in an inquiring tone.

Xuanzhu refused, "Your Majesty, according to the customs of Rongjiang Kingdom, the princess has not yet had a big wedding ceremony with Your Majesty, so the two of them are not allowed to eat at the same table, please forgive Your Majesty, please go back!" ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe's voice was a little disappointed and said, "Okay then! You have a good rest, I'll go first! ”

Ye Xi pulled Xuanzhu, "Come, eat together." ”

Xuanzhu sat down and watched his young lady keep picking up vegetables for herself, "Enough, enough, Miss, I'll do it myself." ”

Ye Xi said, "Xuanzhu, thank you for being willing to accompany me to the West Di Kingdom. ”

Xuanzhu shook his head and said, "Miss, you don't have to be polite. However, Miss, I don't understand, why don't you let Miss Yan accompany you to the West Di Kingdom? ”

Ye Xi's hand paused and said, "She has lived in Rongjiang Country since she was a child, how can I bear to let her leave the place where she lived since she was a child for me."

I had to leave the place where I had lived since I was a child, but she was different. Her voice was tinged with emotion.

Xuanzhu thought that he had also left the place where he had lived since he was a child, Chengguo, and understood the sentimentality, "Miss, don't be sad, Xuanzhu will always accompany Miss, where is Miss going?" Where will Xuanzhu go with you? ”

Ye Xi was wearing an ordinary long dress, as for the wedding dress, she would only wear it tomorrow when she saw everyone, but it was impossible to wear a set of wedding dresses all the time for more than half a month, so her brother gave herself two more sets of red wedding dresses of the same color, plus a set of red wedding dresses given by the little emperor, she had a total of four sets of red wedding dresses, which she could change at will.

Xuanzhu was about to put down his chopsticks, and Ye Xi said, "Stop!" ”

Xuanzhu looked at her with surprise on her face, "Miss, what's wrong?" Is there a problem with the dish? ”

Ye Xi nodded, "The dish is poisonous!" ”

Xuanzhu didn't think it, he took out the silver needle and tried it, but the silver needle didn't turn black, "Miss, it's not poisonous!" ”

Ye Xi's vigilant face, "It's a little poisonous, and the silver needle can't detect it." ”

As she spoke, she went to get her medicine box, took out the poison tester, and dropped a drop on the dish he had just clipped, only to see that the dish immediately turned a light blue.

Xuanzhu was frightened, it was really poisonous.

Xuanzhu asked curiously, "Miss, how did you find out that the dish is poisonous?" This poison is colorless and tasteless. ”

Ye Xi smiled indifferently, "This dish seems to be fine, but this soft-shelled turtle soup is mixed with amaranth, which is a big problem." ”

Ye Xi explained, "When soft-shelled turtle and amaranth are boiled together, they will turn into poison, which can be comatose at least and fatal at worst. ”

Ye Xi was thinking that she was a princess who was close to her, and the people in this post house would definitely not dare to harm her easily, after all, she was related to the friendship between the two countries, so some people in the post house were either bought or persecuted.

Xuanzhu stood up angrily and said, "Presumptuous, you dare to murder the princess, the people in this post house don't want to live." ”

Ye Xi asked him to whisper, "Shhhh ”

Xuanzhu understands what she is going to do? Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, miss, you can say it!" What should I do? ”

Ye Xi's fingers moved, and he asked him to come over,......

After Ye Xi finished speaking, Xuanzhu nodded.

So Ye Xi put on a face like poisoned makeup and lay on the bed, at this time Xuanzhu shouted, "Help, help!" The princess was poisoned. She panicked and cried for help, and Zhang Huang was at a loss.

He immediately ran out of the room and said to the guards standing in the distance outside, "Quick, go quickly, please doctor, the princess is poisoned, if it is late, your entire post house will have to bury the princess!" He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, urging constantly.

When the guard heard that the princess was poisoned, and thought that they were going to be buried with them, they were terrified, and immediately someone went to ask for a doctor, and someone else went to invite the person in charge of the post house and Zuoqiu Xuhe.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe broke in regardless of it, and when he saw Ye Xi, whose face was pale on the bed, and his lips were glowing with dark black, he looked worried.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe was extremely angry, and asked in an angry tone, "Lin Yicheng, you are the person in charge of the post house!" The princess was poisoned after eating the food of your inn, you wait for the whole post house to be buried with you! ”

At this time, Lin Yicheng, who was standing next to him, was full of panic and fear on his face, he thought that if something happened to the princess in front of him? That is not only offending His Majesty Xidi Kingdom, but also offending His Majesty Rongjiang Kingdom!

Lin Yicheng's face was panicked and frightened, and he kept apologizing to Zuo Qiu Xuhe. Then he commanded, "Someone! The master who will make dinner for the princess is invited, and the official will judge it well. ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe stroked Ye Xi's already white and delicate little face, but at this moment her face was bloodless, and her lips were purple and black.

Zuo Qiu Xu and Leng threatened, "Lin Yicheng, I will give you one night's time, if you can't find out, the entire post house will be buried with the princess." His threatening words made Lin Yicheng sweat profusely like Ling Chi.

If this matter is not investigated, it will be difficult for him to protect himself, and if His Majesty knows, the lives of his entire family may not be guaranteed.

Lin Yicheng knelt down and kept kowtowing to admit his mistake, "The minister knows, and the minister promises to find out about this matter." ”

Then the chef who made the supper was invited, and of course the doctor was also invited.

The doctor checked Ye Xi's pulse, but he didn't find out, so he had to check the food and found that this soft-shelled turtle soup was really poisonous.

The doctor replied respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Hui Yicheng, this soup is indeed poisonous."

As for what kind of poison it is, let the people check it. ”

Xuanzhu was thinking in his heart, the princess was still smart, fortunately the princess had taken the sleeping medicine in advance, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to pretend to be so similar.

Xuanzhu looked at the people around him carefully, observing them, he thought, this Lin Yicheng would never dare to send someone to poison him, unless he and his family didn't want to live.

Then he looked at the chef who was cooking, and saw that he had heard that the princess had been poisoned, and he was already frightened, and it was absolutely impossible, after all, it was his cooking, and he came to poison it, and he was not stupid.

Zuo Qiu Xu and ordered, "Except for the doctor to stay, everyone else will go out." His breath was as cold as ice.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe came to the lobby and personally interrogated the cooking master, "What's your name?" Where do you live? ”

His face was full of sincere fear, "Hui, back to Your Majesty, the grass people, the grass people are called Wang Shun, everyone is called the grass people Wang Laohan, the grass people, live, live in Qionghuafang in the west of the city." He fell to his knees and lowered his head to the ground.

Seeing that he was so frightened, Zuo Qiu Xuhe had no choice but to persuade him, "Wang Shun, right!" Don't be afraid, I'm just asking you a few questions.

Tonight, when you cook, are there any people present? If so, who? He tempered his anger, his voice as calm as possible, and looked less frightening.

The fear in Wang Shun's heart in front of him was really less, he thought about it, "In addition to the grass people, there are also Xiao Tao who washes vegetables, Mrs. Zhang who burns the fire, and Daddy Qian, who cooks, there are only these few people in the kitchen every time they cook." ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe asked again, "Then when you cook, someone can help you." ”

He shook his head, "No, the dinner made this time was for the princess, so I was personally responsible for it, and I decided not to hand it over to others." ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe thought about it for a while, it seems that the poison can be done well.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe asked again, "Then look at what's strange in that soup." ”

So Wang Shun stood up, scooped the bowl of soft-shelled turtle soup, and found that there was amaranth in it.

Wang Laohan said in surprise, "Your Majesty, there is amaranth in this soup, and you can't put amaranth in the soft-shelled turtle soup, otherwise this dish will become highly poisonous." ”

He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people dare to swear that they will never dare to murder Her Royal Highness the Princess, even if you give the grass people a hundred heads, they will not dare to harm Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe said in a calm tone, "I believe you, if you are poisoned, how can you tell me the principle of poisoning?" ”

The unconscious Ye Xi here, Xuanzhu took the medicine that Ye Xi had prepared in advance, gave it to her, and she woke up.

At this time, Xuanzhu invited the doctor outside, Xuanzhu closed the door, and the doctor saw that the princess was fine, not like poisoned at all, he was at a loss. No wonder he couldn't find out what was wrong with the princess just now, but the soup really found poison, and he thought that his medical skills had regressed, and it turned out that the princess was not poisoned at all.

Ye Xi whispered to the doctor, "Doctor, I didn't mean to lie to you, the soup is indeed poisonous, and someone does harm me, I want to catch the person who harmed me, and ask the doctor to play a play with me, okay?" ”

Of course, the doctor agreed, but the princess in front of her was for the sake of Rongjiang Country and Xidi Country, how could this kind of good princess who serves the country and the people be harmed?

At this moment, Zuo Qiu Xuhe asked, "Wang Shun, can you leave the stove halfway?" His grim countenance, with a cold coldness, was slightly gentle.

Wang Shun was slightly surprised, "Your Majesty, how do you know?" The grass people went to the thatched house halfway! ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe asked, "It seems that when you left halfway, someone secretly put inconspicuous amaranth in the soft-shelled turtle soup." ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe looked at Lin Yicheng, "Lin Yicheng, now you know what to do?" ”

Lin Yicheng nodded, "Someone!" Arrest all the people in the kitchen tonight. ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe reminded, "Lin Yicheng, remember, only by interrogating separately can you ask what you want." Lin Yicheng understood.

Wang Laohan, who was kneeling there, was full of confusion, and he really didn't understand the conversation between the two big men.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe recovered his elegant posture, "Wang Shun, you go down first!" When this case is decided, I will come to you to testify! ”

Wang Laohan replied, "Yes, the grass people are retired!" ”

Lin Yicheng separated several other people in the kitchen and interrogated them together, and sure enough, he found that something was wrong.

Daddy Qian and Grandma Zhang said inconsistently, and Grandma Zhang said that Daddy Qian was close to the stove when he was cooking. Daddy Qian said that when Mrs. Zhang was burning the fire, she approached the stove. The two of them said to each other that the other had been close to the stove, which meant that one of them had lied.

So Lin Yicheng asked Xiao Tao who was washing vegetables, and Xiao Tao said that when she was washing vegetables next to her, when Wang Laohan, who was stir-frying, went to the thatched house, Father Qian saw that the soup in the pot was boiling, so he lifted the lid.

When Lin Yicheng heard it, it was Daddy Qian, and he must have deliberately put the amaranth into the soup when he opened the lid.

After Lin Yicheng gave the matter to Zuo Qiu Xuhe and returned, Zuo Qiu Xuhe personally interrogated Father Qian.

"Say, why did you murder the princess? If there is half a lie, I will let your whole family bury you! ”

At this time, Xuanzhu told Ye Xi about it, and Xuanzhu personally went to inquire about those people.

Xuanzhu said all the questions asked, Ye Xi thought, this matter is not so simple, the amaranth seems to have been put in by Daddy Qian, but Grandma Zhang is burning the fire under the stove, how can she insist that Daddy Qian has approached the stove, is it she who saw it with her own eyes, or she deliberately led the dirty water to Daddy Qian's body. Besides, Daddy Qian said that Mrs. Zhang was also close to the stove, so it doesn't matter if it's true or not, but you have to find out first.

Ye Xi quietly sent Xuanzhu a task to check their family members and their money.

Zuo Qiu Xu here interrogated Father Qian, but he didn't find anything useful, and the board was also used, but he was stunned and said that he was not poisoned. At this moment, Daddy Qian couldn't stand the torture and fainted.

Xuanzhu returned to Ye Xi what he had found, and Ye Xi said, "You said that Zhang Po's granddaughter is seriously ill, and she recently got a sum of money to buy expensive medicine for her granddaughter, right?" ”

Ye Xi hooked his lips and smiled, "It seems that Daddy Qian is not lying!" Mrs. Zhang approached the stove, and she was the one who put the amaranth in the soup. ”

Ye Xi's confident little face was shining, "Okay, the coma game is over, it's time for me to wake up." ”

At this time, Zhang Po was flustered, uneasy and fearful enveloped her, she was packing her things, but she didn't want the door to be kicked open all of a sudden.

Ye Xi walked in first, only to see that she was wearing a red wedding dress, with a tassel veil on her face, and smiled kindly, "Po Zhang, what are you doing here?" Ready to pack your bags and run away? She asked playfully.

The moment Zhang Po saw Ye Xi, she was extremely surprised, and then she pretended to be calm, "Princess, it's funny, the folk woman just wants to pack up her things and go home to see the granddaughter of the grass people." ”

Ye Xi sneered, "Ho, is it? Tell me, what do you think of your idea if I put your granddaughter in prison and lock her up? Her words, as if asking for her opinion, were implicit in a threat.

This frightened Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale, and she knelt down and kowtowed in fear to admit her mistake, "Please forgive the princess!" Please forgive the princess, the woman didn't mean it, the woman just wanted to save the granddaughter of the woman, and asked the princess to forgive her sins! She kept kowtowing and admitting her mistakes.

Ye Xi saw her admit it, and her tone softened, "Very good, you admit it, say it!" Who instructed you to do this? Does this princess believe that you would dare to do such a thing? ”

Zhang Po knelt on the ground, "Hui, back to the princess, yes, it was the master of the secretary who told the women to move."

A few days ago, the secretary found the woman and said that when the princess arrived at the inn, she would poison the food, and the woman was reluctant at first, but the granddaughter of the woman was seriously ill and needed a large amount of money for treatment, so in desperation, the woman had to agree. ”

Ye Xi glanced at Lin Yicheng, Lin Yicheng understood, and he immediately ordered the secretary to be brought to the lobby for interrogation.

So the crowd came to the lobby.

Zuo Qiu Xu and Ye Xi sat at the front, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhang Po pointed to the secretary who was kneeling next to her, "Princess, it's him, it's him who instructed the women to poison the princess." ”

The secretary of the book showed a little calmness on his face, "The shameless woman dares to frame the court officials, Weichen has never done this, and I ask the princess to be aware and not to listen to the words of a foolish woman." ”

Ye Xi smiled coldly, "Oh! Do you mean that this princess will become a fool in your mouth after listening to Mrs. Zhang's words? ”

She paused, stood up, and scolded loudly, "Bold, Lord Si Shu is so bold that he dares to say that this princess is a fool."

Someone! Teach this princess a good lesson and teach him a lesson, and beat until this princess is satisfied! Ye Xi played the majesty of the princess, so that everyone did not dare to make a sound.

Zuo Qiu Xu and watched her play energetically, and he didn't stop her, anyway, with him by her side, they couldn't make much trouble.

The guards came in and grabbed the secretary outside, put him on the bench, and when he was about to fight, a certain woman smiled, "The secretary, if you tell the people behind the scenes now, this princess may be in a better mood, so I will spare you this board, otherwise, this princess will beat you with a hundred boards, I don't know if you can stand it?" She asked amusedly.

The secretary finally begged for mercy, "Princess, princess spare life, princess spare life, Weichen, Weichen is just a fan of money, after listening to Lord Feng's words, please have a lot of princesses, spare a cheap life of Weichen!" ”

Ye Xi's face turned cold when he heard Lord Feng's words, "Say, how did he frame me, there is a half-lie, this princess let you die without a place to be buried." ”

Si Shu knelt on the ground and said in a panic, "Hui, back to the princess, a few days ago, Lord Feng from the capital sent someone to Quanzhou City, secretly found Weichen, and ordered Weichen to drug the princess." So Weichen found Zhang Po, coerced and lured her, and made her poison. ”

Ye Xi was cold, and scolded angrily, "You bastard, this princess killed you and said, how much benefit did you receive?" She grabbed him by the collar.

He replied, "Hui, Hui Princess, Wei, Weichen, received a thousand taels of gold, as well as a house in the south of the city, and the person who came also promised for Lord Feng that after a few months, he would let Weichen go to the yamen in the capital to be a secretary." ”

Ye Xi sneered, "Okay, very good, Feng Yin, I kindly let you go once, is this your own death?" Her face turned red with rage, and her face burned with rage.

Ye Xi pointed to the secretary's book, "Your account will be calculated later, Lord Lin, this princess will write a letter immediately, and immediately report it to the emperor in the form of five hundred miles of urgency, I will make the Feng family pay the price!" ”

After Ye Xi finished writing, she was about to hand over the letter to Lin Yicheng, she paused, "Wait a minute, Feng Yin will definitely send someone to intercept this letter, no, it can't be sent to the capital like this." ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe suggested, "Xiao Xi, it's better to do this, I sent someone with strong martial arts around me to deliver this letter, hurry to the capital, and hand it over to Emperor Rongjiang." Ye Xi nodded and handed the letter to him.

At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and Ye Xi instructed Lin Yicheng, "Lin Yicheng, put the fifty major boards of the secretary book in prison, and lock up this princess for the rest of his life, let him wake up in prison!" ”

According to the laws of Rongjiang, murdering the royal family, complicity in the crime, can punish the nine clans, and the princess's sentence is too light.

Lin Yicheng replied, "Yes, the minister obeys!" ”

After dawn, Ye Xi ate a little breakfast and went back on his way.
