Chapter 213: Who Is It?

"Don't you wonder? It's only September, and persimmons are something that only came on the market in October, but today they are on our table."

"Princess, although the fresh persimmons ripen in September, the persimmons are on the market in October. But recently, there was a talented man in Kyoto, and the persimmons he planted could ripen a month earlier than the average person. I heard that Zhenwei Fang purchased his persimmons and made persimmons, so you can now buy fresh persimmons on the market. The old slave also heard that the big families in Kyoto did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy persimmons in order to taste fresh, "Gui's mother doesn't think there is anything suspicious about this."

"What's the matter with persimmons?" Haruka is getting more and more confused.

"Just persimmons, there won't be a problem. But I have read some medical books, although persimmon has the effect of clearing heat, moistening the lungs, invigorating and detoxifying. However, it is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, 'All persimmons should not be eaten with crabs, which makes people suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhea'. Persimmon crabs are all cold, the two eat together, the cold hurts the spleen and stomach, and those with weak constitution should especially avoid it. ”

"Does the princess mean that persimmons and crabs can't be eaten together? But with so many people present today, many people have eaten persimmons and crabs, except for Miss Five, no one else has symptoms of poisoning? ”

"Hmm. Mom said it was true. If a healthy person eats less, there will be no obvious symptoms. And, I guess, the ultimate goal of the people behind the scenes is not to target a five-year-old. If someone does do this on purpose, the target must be someone else."

"Princess, do you suspect that someone deliberately poisoned it?" Gui's mother's face also became serious.

"The old lady set up a chrysanthemum banquet today, and what entertained us was naturally the fattest crab in autumn. Crabs are cold, and although they are delicious, they should not be eaten too much. Especially for people who are weak and pregnant. Therefore, when most people eat crabs, they will be accompanied by spicy and hot things such as rice wine and ginger. Few people know that food also has a mutual support principle. Persimmon is a pastry that is not usually eaten before a meal. Can ...... today."

"No, Princess. The persimmons were bought by Aunt Su, so there shouldn't be a problem. I think Aunt Su has something to eat herself. Except for the old lady, everyone else used it. But in the entire house, only the fifth lady was poisoned" Haruka finally opened her mind and kept up with the rhythm of the others.

"That's because the old lady has thirst, she didn't eat persimmons, only ate some crabs, and took rice wine at the same time, so it was fine. The others didn't eat much persimmons themselves, and it took so long to digest them in the middle, so when they ate the crabs later, the persimmons they had eaten earlier had already been digested, so there was nothing wrong with the others."

"And Miss Five, who was originally a child, was very greedy, and I noticed that Miss Five ate several pieces of persimmons alone. The child digested slowly, and later, when eating the main meal, the adults were chatting and talking, and she took advantage of everyone's inattention to eat two more crabs. That's why I got food poisoning."

"I see. But the slave still didn't understand, who was the person behind it? Haruka continued to ask.

"It's a good time to eat crab. The old lady has a treat, so she will naturally invite everyone to eat crabs. The person behind that must be for the sake of the others, as for ......"

"Princess, this matter is not trivial. The man knew that the old lady had a treat today, and he also knew that Aunt Su had bought persimmons. Normally, normal people will be fine. But a pregnant woman like the princess is very dangerous. Mother Gui's eyes widened, as if she had guessed something, so she spoke.

"Mom mean, that person wants to harm the princess? Who will it be? Could it be Aunt Su? Chunxiang heard what Gui's mother said, and she was also anxious.

"No, it won't. Why did Aunt Su attack the princess? And so stupid to involve yourself in it. After all, she bought the persimmons. This is something that can be found with a simple lookup. Mother Gui shook her head, not believing that Aunt Su had poisoned her.

"Perhaps, she did it on purpose? When everyone doubts her, she is the least suspicious. It's not impossible that she deliberately did the opposite," Haruka said with a frown on the door.

"No, Aunt Su is now sheltered by the old lady, and she doesn't need to do these things at all. It's too late for her to raise a baby with peace of mind now, how can she have extraneous branches? Wouldn't it be impossible for the old lady to get off the stage by doing it at the old lady's banquet? Song Yi thought for a while, but still shook his head, denying Chunxiang's suspicions.

"Who could that be?" At this moment, everyone was puzzled.

"Oh, I see. It must be the second lady. The second lady has always hated Aunt Su to the core, and it was in order to frame Aunt Su that she deliberately did so" Chunxiang said excitedly, "The pastry was bought by Aunt Su, and the second lady can borrow a knife to kill." The princess just said that eating persimmon crabs together can make people 'abdominal pain and diarrhea', if Aunt Su doesn't know that persimmon crabs can't eat together, it is very likely that the diarrhea will not stop, threatening the fetus in the belly. The second lady's trick is really clever, not only can she get rid of the child in Aunt Su's womb, but she can also clear her suspicion and blame Aunt Su."

"The motive is valid. But if you want to make it, you have to know in advance that Aunt Su will buy persimmons. Song Yi said slowly.

"Is it possible that the second lady bought the girl next to Aunt Su again?" Chunxiang thought about it and still felt that the second lady Cao was the most suspicious.

"It's not that this possibility is impossible" Before the truth of the matter is investigated, Song Yi cannot rule out any possibility.

"Princess, the old slave thinks that there is a person who is more suspicious than the Wang family?" Gui's mother didn't speak just now, just because she also had a candidate in mind.

"Oh? Mom, who do you think you think? Song Yi was very curious, who was Gui's mother suspicious?

"There is another person who has been against the second lady Cao, and has a dislike for the princess, and has the means to reach out to the old lady and Aunt Su" The more Gui's mother said, the more sure she became, and then spit out a person, "Eldest lady Wang"

"Wang? Didn't she feel unwell today and didn't come? Haruka felt that Katsura's mother was too conspiracy theory, so she reminded.

"The Wang family is not sick in the morning or not sick in the evening, but he is sick today and does not come to the chrysanthemum banquet, will it be to get rid of suspicion, so he deliberately used his illness to get out? The big room has not been peaceful recently, but the second room is booming, will the eldest lady make the second lady unhappy. deliberately designed to frame the second lady and murdered the child in Aunt Su's womb. After all, last time, when Ping'er happened, if the fetus in Aunt Su's womb was really gone, everyone would suspect the second lady Cao's"

In addition, the Wang family has always believed that the princess robbed her of the right to be a housekeeper, but it cannot be ruled out that she took the opportunity to attack the princess and kill two birds with one stone. In short, she is motivated. Moreover, the Wang family has managed the palace for so many years, and they also have the means and strength to accomplish this."

"Really?" Song Yi's eyes sank, not knowing what he was thinking.
