In the Ningxin Palace, Ning Su reclined on a soft chair made of golden silk nanmu, and a few delicate candied snacks were placed on the sandalwood table next to the chair.

However, she has always liked candied fruit made of lemons, sweet and sour, and then, she is not in the mood to eat it now. A pair of big black and white eyes turned, thinking about everything just now, thinking about this puzzle.

Ugly came back and stood beside her.

She had already heard about the incident in Ci'an Palace, and she was shocked into a cold sweat.

Seeing Ah Chou coming, Ning Su came back to her senses and nodded to her.

"Little master, how did you escape the wicked man?" Ugly asked.

"Don't forget," Ning Su glanced at her, "I have a silver needle in my hand. At that time, I was also dizzy, but I pricked myself with a silver needle to control the toxin into my brain, so I was still conscious. When the man came, I thought I couldn't move and was defenseless, so I took advantage of his approach, stabbed him with a needle, paralyzed him, and tied him up. ”

Ah Chou patted his chest and sighed: "Fortunately, fortunately, otherwise, it would have been terrible!" What kind of poison are they using? ”

Ning Su stretched out two fingers and said, "There are two kinds of poisons, one is rubbed on the teacup, which can paralyze people's bodies." The other is the aroma of orchids, which makes people dizzy, and the two together are invincible. ”

Ah Ugly gasped: "What a vicious heart!" If the little master does not have superb medical skills, I am afraid that it will be...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

Ning Su was also afraid in his heart, this time there was no danger, if there was a case, he would be doomed at this time, even if the emperor loved him, he would not be able to escape the end of being trampled on.

The most poisonous woman's heart! Thinking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she said: "If I don't go through this, I still don't know that there is an inner ghost in this Ningxin Palace." ”

"Inner ghost? Who? "Ugly was shocked.

"Take Bihe over, close the palace door, this palace will interrogate her today!"

Bihe was brought in, and she seemed to have a premonition, and her hands trembled slightly when she saw Ugly close the door of the temple.

"Get on your knees!" Ugly reprimanded.

Bihe looked up at Ah Chou, with a pair of big eyes blankly, but said unconvinced: "You are also a slave, what qualifications do you have to make me kneel?" ”

Ning Su saw her revealing her true nature, and slowly asked, "Then is this palace qualified?" ”

When Bihe heard this, he knelt on the ground helplessly, gritted his teeth and said aggrievedly: "Bihe did her best to serve the little master, I don't know where the road was not done well, which annoyed the little master, and asked the little master to make it clear." ”

Ning Su looked at her intently, a delicate-looking girl, but her eyes were rolling with cunning that shouldn't be, why didn't she see it first?

"There are not many people who know that the Dao Palace is allergic to Xiang Xuelan, Bihe, you say, you also know the Dao, right?"

Bihe looked up in confusion: "Knowing the Tao is knowing the Dao, but not only the slave and maid know the Dao, doesn't Yulan also know the Dao?" ”

Ning Su smiled: "That's right, she does know the way." But that day, you went with the queen mother's maid to get the teacup, and the teacup was taken, and there was no poison on the cup, how to explain it? ”

Bihe forced his composure: "The slave and maid followed, but they just took the cup, where do you know what to say." The little master said that the cup was poisonous or not, and the slave and maid knew this. ”

"But it turned out to be poisonous, and it was poison of oleander juice. It's still the same cup, but the poison on the cup has been cleaned up. Where was the palace in the past, don't you know the way? "Ning Su was born in the Imperial Pharmacy, and she studied medicine with her father, and she is proficient in various medicinal herbs, why can't she smell the aroma of oleander?

Bihe's body trembled slightly: "The slave doesn't know, the slave doesn't know anything." ”

"So," Ning Su sat up, "someone saw you go to the Imperial Pharmacy the day before yesterday, what's going on?" ”

Bihe panicked: "That's ...... The slave and maid got the wind cold, so they ......"

"Fart!" Ah Chou said angrily: "Where did you get the wind and cold." I personally followed you that day, you went to see Yurao from the Imperial Pharmacy, and muttered something to her. ”

Bihe suddenly remembered, and her eyes widened and pointed at Ah Ugly: "You follow me?" No wonder I always felt that there was a dark shadow behind me that day, it turned out to be you! ”

"Don't be verbose, what did you say to Yurao?!" Ugly asked.

"This ...... This one...... Yurao and I are sisters of the same race, what's wrong with talking to each other? Don't wronged me. ”

"It's just, you're lying." Ning Su stood up and sighed, "It's a pity, this palace could have let you go, but I didn't expect you to lie." ”

Bihe was shocked: "Little master, the conscience of heaven and earth, where did the slave and maid lie?" ”

The corners of Ning Su's mouth hooked up a sneer: "As I said before, I said that you know the symptoms of my allergy to Xiang Xuelan, and you said that Yulan also knows the Tao." Perhaps, because you think that you and Yulan are my personal maids, it is natural for you to know that I am allergic to something. However, in fact, Xiang Xuelan has never been placed in Ning Xin Palace, how can you and Yulan know that I am allergic to Xiang Xuelan? ”

When Bihe heard this, her face suddenly turned pale. She knew that Ning Su was allergic to Xiang Xuelan, but she couldn't say how she knew Lu Dao, as soon as Ning Su said that she knew Lu Dao, she also pulled Yulan, and the two of them were personal maids, so they should know her habits.

Ning Su continued: "In this palace, there is only one person who is allergic to Xiang Xuelan in this palace, and that is Yurao. And you, Tongyurao, are sisters in the clan. She has a grudge against the palace, and you are bought by the queen mother's people, so you go and ask her, and she tells you about the weakness of the palace, and you tell the queen mother. You went to check the cup that day, and you wiped the oleander juice off the cup yourself. Yes and no? ”

Oleander is a poison that can paralyze the body, but it is only slightly toxic and difficult to detect.

"Little Master ......"

"The concentrated juice of oleander is fragrant, and the natural nose of this palace is extremely sensitive, don't you think that this palace can't smell the breath on your body?"

Bihe's eyes widened in astonishment, she was not very old, and when she heard Ning Su say it so clearly, her bloodless lips trembled, and she didn't know how to answer.

Ah Chou hated and scolded: "Eat things inside and outside, the little master is so good to you, is this how you repay the little master?!" ”

"Little master......" Bi He was like mourning, "Little master spare your life, spare your life!" It's the slave and the maid who are greedy, and the slave and the maid will return the thing. ”

With that, she took out a pearl of the night from her bosom, and her whole body was crystal clear, the size of a pigeon's egg. Such treasures can only be taken out of the Queen Mother's palace.

Ning Su frowned and looked at this treasure, it was really priceless. Really, money can make ghosts grind, and the Queen Mother really spent money to deal with her.

Ah Ugly looked at Ning Su: "What to do with her?" And that Yurao? The little lord let go of Yurao, but I didn't expect her to bite back again, it's really hateful! ”

Ning Su glanced at Bihe and ordered: "Ah Chou, you put Bihe in the Shen Criminal Division, let her write a confession and detain her first, and I will be useful later." As for Yurao, leave it to Xiao Guizi to do it! "She didn't intend to tolerate her now.

After doing all this, Ning Su quietly went to the orchid garden behind the imperial pharmacy alone, walking in the place where he used to walk often.

In the summer, the orchids are not in full bloom, only a few small yellow flowers bloom.

She remembered the days when she first arrived at the Imperial Pharmacy a few months ago.

Every day, after eating, she took Yurao with her, and the two of them watched orchids and picked fruits together, and occasionally picked a few bouquets of wildflowers and put them in a vase in the room. I remember one day, a different orchid called Xiangxuelan was transplanted in the orchid garden, and she was dizzy because of allergies, so Yurao specially transplanted the orchid elsewhere.

In those days, I was carefree, because of Yurao's company, there was less worry and loneliness in the palace.

She sighed in her heart, slowly walked to the door of the orchid garden, looked up, but saw a figure.

"Let's go! What to see! This is not the place for you, where to go! A eunuch scolded Yurao.

Yurao was wearing a blue cloth dress and holding a burden, and was pushed and pushed out of the palace by the eunuchs. And her legs seem to be inconvenient to walk because of the cane punishment, and it seems that Xiao Guizi ordered someone to punish her severely. The complexion is also pale and pale, compared with the delicate beauty at the beginning, it is so haggard that it seems to be a different person.

"Father-in-law, you should be lighter, this staff has just been beaten." This time, she lost her pride, and her face was as depressed as a defeated rooster. She was expelled from the palace after this heavy sentence, and she was afraid that she would not have much face to face when she went out, and her family would probably not treat her, so she would inevitably end the rest of her life with a peddler and pawn soon.

In front of her eyes, there is no more magnificent future and hope. Thinking of this, her heart was like ashes.

Yurao turned her head and saw Ning Su, and her eyes showed stubbornness.

"Father-in-law, I want to say a few words to Concubine Ning." Yurao begged.

"Ning Concubine is your name? What is your status to dare to make such a request? The eunuch scolded without hesitation.

"Wait." Ning Su came over slowly, waved his hand, and the eunuch hurriedly got out of the way.

"Say it." Ning Su couldn't bear to look at her desolate appearance.

Yurao looked at her for a long time, suddenly like a dream, the young girl who had just entered the palace was still in front of her, but now she was high up and untouchable. And she? A clown who jumped off the beam, but he wanted to plan a future for himself, but he fell into the abyss in a daze, and when he thought about it, he felt ridiculous.

She actually smiled, but she laughed a little sadly, a little desperate: "Now, I'm appointing!" It's just you, huh...... Ningsu ...... You wait, I'm gone, but I don't know how many Yurao and how many ghosts are still standing behind you! They are greedy, they are lustful, they are the things that drive people into demons! One day you are in this cave, one day you are in this high position, and there are people who keep beating you up and trying to pull you down! One day, believe it or not, you will be like me, and you will be defeated! I'm waiting! I'll wait until that day! Ha Lu Ha ...... "She laughed loudly, said that, did not look back, and limped with the eunuch to the outside of the palace.

Watching her figure fade away, her words were like a curse, like a needle piercing Ning Su's heart. The cool breeze hit, and I felt a little chilly in this midsummer. The court, changed all the people in it, and herself.

At this moment, a pair of strong and warm arms grabbed him from behind, and the familiar masculine breath entered the end of his nose, and he lowered his head to her hair and asked, his deep voice sounding in his ears: "What do you think?" ”

She didn't look back, rested her head on his chest, rubbed it gently, and whispered, "It's nothing." ”

Ning Suzhi said that she was different from Yurao, she stayed not for vanity and greed, but to protect him who she loved deeply. His favor gave her the strength to live in this cold court.
