Chapter 10: Trying the Medicine (3)
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was moved.
Only Li Jinzhong asked quietly: "So is the old sister really involved in it?" ”
Mama Xia asked rhetorically: "If the old body says no, does Master Li believe it?" ”
"I believe it." Li Jinzhong said without hesitation.
Mama Xia snorted and said, "I'm afraid some people don't believe it!" ”
Furong saw that the window paper had been pierced, and then she had to cover it up, first, it was unnecessary, and secondly, she couldn't figure out the purpose of Li Jinzhong's sudden coming for a while, if she didn't explain the words, she was afraid of changes, so she took Mama Xia's words and said: "The old lady forgives Furong for being rude, there are indeed people who see that you have dealings with the Wang family, Furong just wants to invite you into the palace to explain things to Niangniang face to face, and there is nothing else." ”
When Lai Xing'er heard this, she was secretly taken aback: it turned out that she hadn't just seen Mama Xia and Wang together. I only heard Li Jinzhong ask: "Furong Sizheng won't alarm Niangniang just by this point, right?" ”
Furong was already quite dissatisfied with Li Jinzhong, and when she heard him ask such a question, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and said with a sneer: "A person with a five-rank destiny has been hiding in the East Palace for several years, and he has been very close to the main murderer of the countercase, does Lord Li think this is not enough?" ”
Li Jinzhong was still smiling, and asked Mama Xia: "Jinzhong also wants to hear what happened to my old sister in the past few years. ”
Mama Xia closed her eyes and was silent.
Furong thought that Mama Xia had been hit by herself, so she had nothing to say, and said to Li Jinzhong with a little pride: "Master Li might as well go into the palace to meet Niangniang together, how about it?" ”
Li Jinzhong put away his smile, stared at Furong and said word by word: "This prison is the queen's mother, and at the behest of the emperor, I came to preside over the inspection of the affairs of the East Palace. ”
At this time, Lin Shu, who was standing behind him, suddenly said, "Lord Li's words are true. The lower officials thought that this matter should be explained to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before making a decision. ”
Mama Xia, who had been silent, heard someone rashly mention the prince, Huo Di opened her eyes, forced her to look at Furong and said: "The girl keeps saying that the Wang family is the main culprit, if the old body has evidence to prove that the Wang family was framed, what should I do?" ”
When she said this, even Li Jinzhong couldn't believe his ears. Fleur stretched out her hand at her and asked, "What credentials?" ”
Mama Xia reached out and took out a small earth-colored cloth bag from her arms and handed it to Li Jinzhong. Li Jinzhong took it with both hands and opened the cloth bag to take a look, and saw that there was only a little light green powder wrapped in it, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Old sister, what is this?" ”
Mama Xia smiled miserably and replied, "It has a nice name, it's called Wu Yufei." When a person consumes food or tea that is adulterated with this substance, they will hallucinate and do unexpected things. Wang's did all kinds of rebellious things after being put in the diet of people. ”
Fleur said with a smile: "The old lady is known as the 'miracle doctor', isn't it to exonerate the guilt of the substitute person, and take it out as a rhetoric?" Could this be the person who drugged and framed the Wang family to give it to the old lady? ”
Li Jinzhong also asked suspiciously: "Since the old sister said that Wang was poisoned and murdered after being drugged and insane, what is the way to verify it?" ”
Mama Xia sighed, bowed her head and was silent. Lai Xing'er on the side couldn't help but shout: "I have a way to verify whether someone has taken this medicine." ”
Furong glanced at Xing'er, and was about to say something to stop him, when Li Jinzhong asked, "Boy, what can you do?" Let's hear it. ”
Lai Xing'er didn't see Furong's eyes, and said with some excitement: "The medicine will enter the blood after being taken, just take some of that person's blood, find a small animal at random, let it drink, and you'll know if you try it." ”
Li Jinzhong said "sin", and then asked: "If that person is dead and his blood is stagnant, how can he try?" ”
Lai Xing'er smuttered, not daring to speak.
Lin Shu threw his hand at Li Jinzhong and said, "My lord, this matter is related to the honor and disgrace of the crown prince and concubine, even if it is inevitable to desecrate the body, you should give it a try." ”
Li Jinzhong understood what he meant, and bowed back: "Lord Lin said so, please don't report this matter to the prince first, and wait for the verification of the results, and then make a difference." He turned to Fleur and asked, "Does Madame agree with verifying the old sister's statement that Wang was drugged in order to prove the truth or falsehood?" ”
Fleur nodded, no objection.
Li Jinzhong sat down in the center and shouted outside the house: "Someone." ”
Luo San'er walked in in response. Li Jinzhong ordered: "You quickly send a team of soldiers to guard the surroundings of this courtyard, and no one is allowed to approach this courtyard without me." Luo San'er agreed, turned around and was about to leave, when Furong stopped him and said, "You invite General Zhang to come over by the way." ”
Li Jinzhong instructed Lai Xing'er: "You go find a dog." Fleur said, "Find two." ”
Li Jinzhong was unhappy in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "I am tired of Furong Si Zheng and Lord Lin going on a personal trip to move Wang's remains here. ”
When Furong heard him arrange this, it was clear that she couldn't trust herself, and because of Li Jinzhong's status as a messenger, she couldn't disobey it, so she had to say: "The little woman can't see the corpse the most, so it's better to invite the old lady to go with her, so she can be brave." ”
Li Jinzhong knew that his move today would definitely be blamed on Furong and the queen behind her, but the incident happened suddenly, and the development of the situation was really unexpected, so he couldn't care about it, so he could only take a step forward and look at it step by step. Seeing that Furong was making an excuse to take Mama Xia out of the East Palace, he simply sank his face and said, "Xia's identity is unknown, so it is not appropriate to move without permission, so please ask Furong to move her to his room to wait for the time being." He suddenly changed his name to Xia Shi instead of Old Sister, just to show Furong his neutral position.
Furong didn't appreciate it, and sneered: "Wouldn't it be better for Lord Li and the old lady to meet each other and talk a few words in one place?" Father-in-law Yan, a good student is waiting. So saying, he brushed his sleeves and left.
It was almost noon, Zhang Liang, Furong, Lin Shu, and Lai Xing'er returned to Huafang one after another. Luo San'er led a team of forbidden troops to surround the small courtyard, and this small courtyard located in the remote part of the East Palace suddenly became extremely strict.
Li Jinzhong saw that everything was ready to stop, so he stood up and led everyone out of the duty room, came to the courtyard, and was just about to speak. Zhang Liang, who has been sitting and napping since he came, suddenly asked: "This medicine won't cause death, right?" ”
Everyone's eyes focused on Mama Xia, Mama Xia shook her head and said: "Wu Yufei itself is not very toxic, and people will be confused in their minds after taking it, so they will behave perversely, and it will not be disabled to death." ”
Zhang Liang glanced at the two dogs in the iron cage in the courtyard, and said to Li Jinzhong: "Lord Li, the last general thinks that since his life is worry-free after taking this medicine, it is better to use people more directly than to use dogs to verify it." ”
