April's words made Hua Qingmo fall into an unspeakable contemplation, she looked at the teapot on the table, and then said: "If there is a problem with the water, this tea should be able to turn red, how can it be possible to take porridge and tea at the same time?" ”

"Miss, the water we use to make tea is the lotus leaf dew I collected, not the water in the well in the north courtyard." Acacia heard Hua Qingmo's words, so he said out loud.

She explained everything clearly, the water in the north courtyard and the tea leaves of Hua Qingmo were why she was so popular.

"To be sure, Acacia, you make a pot of tea with the well water in the North Courtyard."

After Acacia made tea again, Hua Xu fed the last cat that didn't eat anything. Soon after it drank it, it became drowsy, exactly the same as Hua Qingmo's condition. This scene has been completely determined what they just said, the water in the north courtyard and the tea leaves of Hua Qingmo are the origin of the red face.

"Acacia, the tea I usually use, is it from the house, or did you go out to buy it?" Hua Qingmo looked at Acacia and asked out loud.

"Miss Qiyu, this tea is distributed in the house, and every young master and young lady is like this." Acacia replied aloud.

Hearing this, Hua Qingmo was silent for a moment and said, "Pour all my tea leaves, and then go get some to see if it is poisonous in the first place, or is it poisonous that was scared when you arrived in the North Courtyard?" ”

"Yes."

"Acacia, let's see if you can eliminate the poison in the north courtyard well? It's not a way to go on like this. Hua Qingmo spoke again, her eyes slightly downcast. She is really in crisis from time to time, and she can't be idle for a moment.

After Acacia took the tea back, even after making a cup of tea and feeding the cat to drink, the cat did not have anything unusual, which means that the tea was poisoned in the North Courtyard. In addition to her and the four Acacia in the north courtyard, there is also a maidservant named Yaoqin, two guards, and an old mother who cooks.

Hua Qingmo asked April and the others to stare at these people, first of all, to find out who she was eating in the north courtyard.

At night, when Hua Qingmo was asking Acacia about medical books, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the two were startled, and they saw April grabbing Yaoqin's hair and walking in, and then threw her to the ground.

April took a purple glass bottle with a green space where Hua Qingmo put tea leaves, stepped forward and said, "Miss, just now in the kitchen, this woman put things in your tea leaves." ”

"No, Miss Seven, the minion doesn't." As soon as April's words fell, Yaoqin spoke out to distinguish herself. Her gaze was a little evasive, and then she pointed to April and said, "Miss Seven, I saw that she put something in your tea leaves, but she sued the wicked person first, please Miss Seven to investigate." ”

Hearing such a distinction, Hua Qingmo couldn't help laughing, she looked at Yaoqin quietly, and then said loudly: "Yaoqin, you mean that you are loyal to me, right?" ”

"Miss Seven, a slave can do anything for Miss Seven." Yaoqin knelt on the ground, straightening her back, and her tone sounded really unwavering.

Hua Qingmo glanced her up and down, then hooked her hand towards Acacia and said something in her ear. After finishing speaking, Acacia nodded slightly and said respectfully: "Yes, the slave will go and prepare." ”

After Acacia left, Hua Qingmo didn't say anything, just sat quietly at the table, flipped through the book in her hand and looked at it carefully. Soon, Acacia walked in with a tray and placed it on the table with three wine glasses on the tray.

"Miss, this is a poison prepared by a minion, and the throat is sealed with blood."

Acacia handed a white and blue porcelain bottle to Hua Qingmo, she took it, and then slowly opened it and poured some poison powder into two of the wine glasses.

"Whoever of you is loyal to me, drink this poisonous wine, of course I won't say anything if you don't drink it, and you know that I'm a good person." Hua Qingmo's gaze lingered on April and Yaoqin's faces, her gaze was gentle and calm, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her lips.

April glanced at the glass, then stepped forward to take a glass of wine and drank it directly. Soon, a trace of black blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth, and the wine glass in her hand fell suddenly, and she quickly fell to the ground, struggling in extreme pain for a while before stopping her movements.

Seeing this scene, Hua Qingmo looked at Yaoqin and said with a smile: "Go and see if April is dead?" ”

"Yes...... Yes......" Yaoqin's face was obviously a little wrong, she knelt on the ground, slowly crawled to April's side, and then stretched out her hand tremblingly, tremblingly put her hand under April's snort.

Suddenly, she sat in place with a pale face, her eyes a little glazed.

At this time, Hua Qingmo picked up another glass of wine with poisonous powder, stood up, and then put it in front of Yaoqin: "April has already shown her innocence with death, and now it's you." ”

The gentle words were as soft as the breeze, but at this time in Yaoqin sounded like the death knell of death, weird and panicked, she knocked off the poisonous wine, and then knelt in front of Hua Qingmo, and kept kowtowing: "Miss forgiveness, it is like Mrs. asked the slave to do this, and the slave was also forced." ”

"Forced?" Hua Qingmo smiled slightly, staring at Yaoqin, and then she leaned over slightly to pick up Yaoqin's clothes, and took out a red gold and white jade inlaid coral jade pendant from under her clothes, the coral inside was polished to almost the same size, and it was a rare genuine product at a glance.

"If I remember correctly, this jade pendant is a dowry gift used by the Song Guogong Mansion to hire the third sister, and now it is on you, is it you who picked it up?" Hua Qingmo stroked the jade pendant with her thumb, looked at Yaoqin with a quiet gaze, and asked.

Yaoqin's face turned a little pale, her gaze couldn't dodge, and she stammered: "Yes...... Be...... It was picked up by a minion. ”

As soon as she heard this, Hua Qingmo couldn't help but be cold, and then she pulled hard, tearing the jade pendant off Yaoqin's neck, and her eyes became indifferent: "People have to know their own position, this thing is not something you can have." ”

After speaking, Hua Qingmo sat back at the table, glanced at Acacia, and said, "I don't like dishonest people, since I can't say what I should say, then let her shut up forever." ”

"Yes, I see, miss." Acacia took the porcelain bottle with the poison powder, and then poured some into the remaining glass of wine. She walked over to Yaoqin with her glass in hand, then grabbed her chin and brought it close to her lips.

Yaoqin kept struggling, looked at the wine glass that was getting closer and closer to her, and then cried: "Miss, I know it's wrong, it's Mrs. Ru who gave me the jade pendant and asked me to put medicine in Miss's tea and well water, I just did it for a while, Miss, spare my life!" ”

Hearing this, Acacia let go of Yaoqin, and then took the wine and drank it, she kicked April and said, "I haven't gotten up yet, when will I pretend to?" ”

As soon as the words fell, April opened her eyes and stood up from the ground. Then he wiped the blood from his mouth and kicked Yaoqin, kicking her to the ground.

"It's really a layman, it's really easy to buy you with a jade pendant."

Yaoqin looked at the suddenly woke up April, stunned for a moment, and then thought of something, she knelt on the ground, slowly crawled to Hua Qingmo's side, and kept kowtowing: "Miss, it's me who is greedy for money, it's me who is wrong, Miss spare your life, Miss spare your life." ”

"I'm not going to kill you." Hua Qingmo looked at Yaoqin and smiled faintly, then she stood up and said clearly: "Follow me to see grandma, I won't just forget this matter." ”

"Miss......" Yaoqin was a little reluctant, she knew that she must be more than lucky when she saw the princess of the old county.

"Don't talk nonsense, Miss tells you to go, you have to go." April grabbed Yaoqin by the hair and pulled her off the ground.

Hua Qingmo glanced at her lightly, and then walked towards the princess of the old county. When he got there, Su Zhe was massaging the princess of the old county, Hua Qingmo gestured to Su Zhe, and then stood behind the princess of the old county and helped her massage.

The princess of the old county instantly noticed that the person had changed, glanced back at Hua Qingmo, then reached out to her hand, and said gently: "Mo'er, what's the matter with coming here?" ”

"Grandma, let Mo'er help you press it first, the matter is not urgent." Hua Qingmo smiled gently, and then helped the princess of the old county massage very seriously.

After about half an hour, the princess of the old county patted Hua Qingmo's hand and said kindly: "Okay, just say something, grandma will help you." ”

Hearing this, Hua Qingmo glanced at April, who threw Yaoqin to the ground. She didn't have time to feel the pain, so she bowed her head and fell to her knees.

The princess of the old county glanced at Yaoqin, then looked at Hua Qingmo, and asked out loud, "Mo'er, what is this?" ”

"Grandma, this is the jade pendant that Aunt Sun gave to Yaoqin, so that she poisoned the well in the north courtyard, as well as Mo'er's tea." Hua Qingmo spread out her palm, and there was the jade pendant she had torn off Yaoqin's neck just now.

The princess of the old county glanced at the jade pendant, then looked at Yaoqin and asked, "Is that so?" ”

"The princess of the old county spares her life, the slave is only greedy for a while, so she will help Mrs. Ru do this kind of thing, the slave is guilty, and the princess of the old county spares her life." Yaoqin kept beginning, and there was unspeakable fear and fear in her voice.

She has been in the mansion for many years, so she naturally knows the temper of the princess of the old county, and she also knows that she is unlucky this time, but she still wants to live!

"Drag it out." Looking at Yaoqin, who kept kowtowing, a trace of disgust flashed on the face of the princess of the old county. Hearing this, Su Zhe on the side immediately grabbed Yaoqin's hair and dragged her out. The room was much quieter than Yaoqin's voice.

At this time, the princess of the old county took Hua Qingmo's hand, let her sit on the edge of the couch, stared at her, and said: "Mo'er, if you are ruthless, you will be ruthless, and if you kill, you will be killed, Sun Rumeng does not have three children now, it is easy to think about it." ”
