Xihe listened, the corners of his mouth hooked up a gorgeous sneer, his fingers turned the tea cup one by one, and said casually: "I heard that Mrs. is good at flowers and plants, I don't know if Mrs. can hear about aconite flowers?" ”

As soon as her words fell, Qin Xiang, who was waiting behind Jiang Hongxuan, accidentally touched the vase on the side.

There was a crisp bang, which was extremely harsh in the extraordinarily quiet hall.

"Slave and maid should die, slave and maid should be damned......" said him, and hurriedly squatted down to clean up the debris.

Xihe frowned, turned his head to look at Qin Xiang, and saw that her face was pale and her movements were messy. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes became a little intriguing.

Jiang Hongxuan glanced at Qin Xiang lightly: "That's it, you should step back first, it seems that you have indeed been sick for two days......

Qin Xiang paused to clean up the pieces, and hurriedly bowed her head and responded: "Yes, the slave will call Mo Xiang over." With that, she hurriedly turned and withdrew from the house.

Jiang Hongxuan looked at her back, a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes, and then said to Xihe: "What is the aconite flower that the county lord just said?" The concubine is unheard of and has never heard of it. ”

Xihe's eyes flashed with some unknown glimmer, and the corners of his mouth were raised for a while, and he smiled lightly: "Aconite flower, that thing is extremely beautiful, I heard that its flowers are blue-purple, like a small lantern, hanging among the branches and leaves." But unfortunately, the water and soil of Dajin are not suitable for it. ”

Jiang Hongxuan nodded: "Hearing what the county lord said, the concubine is even more curious, if there is a chance, she will definitely see this thing." ”

Xi He had heard from a caravan in that state that a woman had asked him to buy a pot of aconite flowers a few years ago. She came this time just to test a thing or two. But except for the slight abnormality of the Qin incense, this Jiang family does not change its color, and it does not leak.

Xihe lost patience for a while, and simply stopped dealing with her. After casually chatting with others, he casually found an excuse and got up to say goodbye.

Two more days.

The reports of the battles on the border of South Vietnam came frequently, and it was gratifying to know that they were all good news of great victories. Su Luan was still confined to the Heart Cultivation Palace, except that she couldn't move around at will, she was very satisfied with this leisurely life.

And the craftsmanship of this imperial dining room is really as her father said, when her father comes back, he will definitely ask the saint for a royal chef as a reward.

Besides, she recently discovered something very big. It's just that her book was sold to the palace, and it was still a special edition with gilded edges.

I still remember that Xiao Si handed over a letter of worship a few days ago, she was being watched closely by the Queen Mother at that time, where did she dare to act rashly, so she asked the bell to send people to Xue Zhiyi. She should have known a long time ago that this shopkeeper Xue wouldn't leave the silver and not fish, no, it was true......

It's really no business!

"Miss, an aunt came out just now, and she brought some shark fin soup, it's still hot!" The bell walked briskly from under the porch.

Su Luan raised his eyes, looked at the blue and white porcelain stew pot on the tray, and frowned slightly.

On weekdays, the bell goes to the imperial dining room to get food and drink, and the queen mother has never sent her anything. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!

Su Luan opened the lid of the stew pot, sniffed it, and asked casually, "Which aunt is it?" Golden branch or jade gargle? ”

Bell shook his head: "No, it's an eye-born." ”

"She said, this shark fin soup was given to her by the Queen Mother?" Su Luan bit the word Queen Mother very hard.

The bell froze, his eyes rolled, and he recalled the scene just now: "Which aunt ...... She said that she was in the Queen Mother's Palace, and she happened to bump into the imperial dining room and had just boiled shark fin soup, so she sent it to Miss to try it. ”

The corners of Su Luan's mouth hooked slightly, and he sneered: "I don't dare to eat this unknown thing." My grandmother told me since I was a child that I can't take things given by strangers, otherwise I will be in big trouble! ”

"Grandma?" Bell was stunned by Su Luan's words, and thought to himself, isn't the grandmother of this master the prime minister, but this prime minister's wife has been dead for many years......

Su Luan realized that he had said something terrible, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I said it casually, don't care." ”

After that, he pushed the shark fin soup in his hand, pointed to the big gray mouse in the cage and said, "Oh, take it and give a few rat masters a taste!" ”

The bell took the stew pot, put a little in the porcelain plate, and brought it to the edge of the rat cage.

The rat masters in the cage were specially asked to catch the bell from near the granary of the imperial dining room the day after Su Luan was confined here.

In the past few days, they have followed Su Luan to eat and drink spicy food, and one by one they are fat and strong, and even their gray fur has become shiny and shiny.

The bell handed the plate through the food delivery port, and several rat masters smelled the fragrance and gathered one by one, burying their heads in the fragrant spray.

The bell squatted aside, looked at it for a while, and saw that the few were still in good spirits, so he turned back to Su Luan and said, "Miss, they have eaten up, and they don't seem to be ......."

Before he could say the words, he saw several rat masters fall suddenly, their limbs trembled and twitched twice, and they opened their eyes and lost their breath.

As expected, Su Luan was not surprised, but just patted the bell on the shoulder and said, "Little girl, you are still too simple." I'll tell my eldest brother when I go back, you can follow Miss me in the future. You can't become a female devil who kills people without blinking. ”

The bell bit her lip, and was afraid for a while, and said in a snort: "Miss, don't you blame me, almost, almost you were killed by the bell...... " Le

Su Luan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said: "What is there to blame for you, if I die, I can only say that I am not as good as others, even if I don't die today, I will die tomorrow." ”

Bell was shocked by her words, and felt that her master's words were very reasonable, leaving her speechless.

"Alright, stop thinking nonsense!" Su Luan looked light-hearted, pointed to the stew pot on the table and ordered, "Go and invite Aunt Jin Zhi over and let her be a witness." ”

The bell answered, and he hurriedly went to the main palace of the Heart Cultivation Hall to invite someone.

However, after a cup of tea, Aunt Jin Zhi followed the bell into the hall.

"I've seen Miss Su, the slave maid listened to the bell and said, did you have an accident?"

Su Luan nodded, led the person to the inner room, pointed to the corpse in the rat cage, and explained: "Just now an aunt sent some food, I am a very vigilant person, so I will give these little beasts something to taste......

This fact speaks louder than words, and now that she doesn't need to say much about this scene, Aunt Jin Zhi understands the whole story.

Although there are a lot of pickled things in this palace, few people have the courage to touch the queen mother's mind. However, this Miss Su family's identity is special, since this person has been mixed in, I am afraid that the mother did it intentionally......

Su Luan saw that her expression was slightly hesitant, and she understood the attitude of the Queen Mother a little in her heart. This is catching thieves and catching stolen goods, and now in her situation, the Queen Mother will not support her. This thief ...... I'm afraid she'll have to think about it herself.

"Auntie doesn't have to be embarrassed, Luan'er didn't want her aunt to do anything, but just to testify for Luan'er, if something happens in the future, my aunt can say a fair word for me." What Su Luan said was particularly moving.

Jin Zhi couldn't help but glance at her more, nodded, and said, "Miss Su, don't worry, the slave maid has one thing to say, and two things to say." ”

"The little girl thanked her aunt first." Su Luan said lightly, "Bell, send Aunt Jin Zhi back." ”

"Yes, auntie, please."

Seeing that the people went out, Su Luan took a deep breath and sat on the couch. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her hands fiddled with the ornaments on the table one by one.

"Miss, what does Aunt Jin Zhi mean by this? Could it be that the person was really sent by the Queen Mother? The bell wrinkled his eyebrows, and the little man was full of sadness.

Su Luan glanced at her and said leisurely: "If it were you, would you kill people on your own territory?" ”

Bell shook her head: "No. ”

"What you can't do, the Queen Mother naturally won't do."

After hearing this, the bell lowered his head in silence and muttered, "Who could it be?" Miss is the first time to enter the palace, and she has no grudges with those ladies in the harem in the past, and she has no hatred recently......"

Su Luan's eyes were slightly dark, and he said in a cool voice: "This person is naturally a noble person who can enter the palace at any time, and can coerce and lure the palace people. ”

After that, she said with a slight mockery: "I happened to offend such a nobleman." ”

Bell's eyes widened suddenly, and then blurted out, "Xihe County Lord?!" ”

Su Luan responded with an "um", and then sneered.

"But Miss, this palace is so big, that aunt may not be able to find anyone, we only have this stew pot, and we can't afford evidence, and the county lord will not admit it! Aren't we dumb people eating coptis?! The bell pulled the handkerchief in his hand, and said a little unwillingly.

Su Luan glanced at her and said lightly: "Miss, I eat soft and hard, but I will never suffer!" She wants me to suffer this grievance in vain, she dreams! ”

She lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, seemed to have thought of some good idea, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips: "Bell, you go to the imperial dining room now, help me investigate, can you find a person named Xiao Si, if you can find it, you will bring someone to see me!" ”

"Xiao Si? Isn't that man Madame's lackey?! Bell frowned, a little puzzled.

Su Luan chuckled lightly and mocked: "He's not my aunt's lackey, he's a lackey of silver!" ”

The bell suddenly responded, "The slave and maid will go." ”

Imperial Dining Room.

A female official with three agate beads on her head walked back and forth under the porch with a worried expression. The grandmother on the side saw it and asked casually: "Aunt Jinyu, are you sick, why is your face so ugly?" ”

Jin Yu paused, his expression was slightly stiff, and he said unnaturally after a while: "No, it's just a little tired." ”

Mama nodded, and was just about to turn around and go out, when she was called by the person in front of her: "Mama, when you came over just now, did you hear any movement in the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

Mama looked at her strangely and shook her head: "No." ”

Jinyu nodded, remembering what the man had told her, and her heart became even more uneasy.
