Chapter 140: How to Explain This
"After the palace leaves the palace, you must not do these vain and cumbersome etiquette with the palace, you are still the benefactor of the palace, and the palace has not paid a good salute to you."
The Queen Mother is merciful, and the grace of dripping water springs to reciprocate.
Although Song Mingyue was rewarded, those were all things outside the body, and they were not valuable.
Song Mingyue was embarrassed and stood up, "The Queen Mother has tormented me, the doctor is benevolent, I am honored to have the ability to save you." ”
Just kidding, the emperor's mother in front of her is the emperor's mother, and she is brave and dead.
The Queen Mother saw her frightened appearance, as if she guessed her worries, and a touch of helplessness flashed in her eyes, this is the harem, even if there is true feelings, you have to hide it.
"Don't panic, these people are all from the palace, and they won't be listened to by others."
Song Mingyue nodded lightly, wrote the medicine list for the next few days to the Queen Mother, and then chatted with the Queen Mother a few times and walked back.
When she walked into the room, her expression was a little bored and panicked, and all the suppressed emotions came to her heart for a while.
Especially when she thought of smelling the woman's perfume on Mu Chen's body last night, her beautiful face instantly turned pale.
Seeing this, Zhan Yu said worriedly: "County Lord, is there something uncomfortable?" ”
She has been serving Song Mingyue for the past few days, and it is the first time she has seen Song Mingyue showing a depressed mood.
Song Mingyue shook her head helplessly after hearing this, and said indifferently: "I'm a doctor, what can I do." ”
She would rather have a cold and fever, take medicine and be fine, but if she has emotional problems, what can she take?
Zhan Yu looked at the emaciated person in front of him and was stunned, Song Mingyue was too petite and her delicate face did not eat the fireworks of the world, it was easy for people to forget that she was still a doctor.
"It's good that the county lord is healthy, and the slaves and maids are worried."
Song Mingyue ignored her, remembering the medicine in the meals in the past few days, a touch of fierceness flashed in her eyes, "Have you seen the palace maid who served the county lord at the beginning these days?" ”
She wanted to open the net before, but Su Wanjun didn't change it, so don't blame her for pulling this matter out of the water!
Zhan Yu thought carefully for a while, and said loudly: "Yes, it's just that the slave rarely sees her. ”
"Oh?" Song Mingyue lightly raised her delicate brows, Su Wanjun made up her mind in order to kill her. "She's still in the palace?"
Although she heard her ask a lot, she asked, "Yes, did the county lord call her over?" ”
Song Mingyue came back to her senses, calmly glanced at the place that led her to the miscellaneous room, Ruyu's finger pointed to the iron cage not far away.
When she saw the dead rat in the cage, she instantly held her breath and looked at her with a panicked expression, "County Lord, what's going on?" ”
Song Mingyue didn't answer her directly, "You're taking a serious look." ”
Zhan Yu nodded her head, leaned in to take a closer look, and gasped when she saw the familiar millet porridge and side dishes.
"County Lord, how can this be?"
The food she has eaten in the past few days is all made by herself, and she rarely goes to the imperial dining room to get it, but these meals are poisonous?
She is a new palace maid, and she is careful to protect herself everywhere in the harem, but now she can't tell if she jumps into the Yellow River.
Song Mingyue didn't let go of any expression on her face, and seeing that she wasn't pretending, she had completely ruled out the possibility of drugged her.
Now it seems that the problem does appear in the palace maid who disappeared on the first day of serving her, and she has not been idle in the past few days, and found out that the palace maid was Su Wanjun before.
"The county lord knows that it was not your poison, but the county lord can't protect you after investigating the problem, unless the person who really drugged is found out."
Her words reassured Yu Yu as she nodded in agreement with her words.
If something happened to Song Mingyue, she would definitely be the first to be pushed out as a pot, and she adjusted her breathing to calm herself down.
"Is there a way for the county lord?"
Song Mingyue snorted lightly, nodded and said, "You come here, do as I say, you ....... first"
"Did you hear it all?"
Zhan Yu nodded his head and looked at her gratefully, "Okay, the slave will go down and do it." ”
Song Mingyue turned around and went back to the room, but when she saw the room that was still empty, her emotions fell to the bottom again, and she let the cold wind blow on her body like a knife.
Where did the man go when he disappeared for a day?
While pondering, the door was suddenly pushed open, Song Mingyue subconsciously thought it was a remark, and blurted out: "Why is it so fast?" ”
However, when she saw the person who appeared, her heart instantly throbbed, and her expression became cold.
Mu Chen's face was much haggard than yesterday, and after seeing her expression, his mood became extremely uncomfortable, and he opened his mouth to explain what happened yesterday.
But as if it was stuck in the throat, the words changed after they came out of their mouths, "What did you say? ”
Song Mingyue had been waiting for him to explain or where he had gone last night and today, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little more disappointed on his face.
"It's nothing, I just asked Zhan Yu to prepare lunch, thinking she was back."
Mu Chen thought she would ask, but the more she proved that she was already angry, but it was just a misunderstanding about what happened last night, and she probably wouldn't be able to listen to her explanation now.
That's it, when she calms down, he will find another time to explain seriously and tell the events of that night.
But the atmosphere in the room was dull and unusually quiet, and even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
"General Mu is here?"
Suddenly, there was the voice of Gonggong Li at the door, and there was a knock on the door.
Mu Chen's consciousness was pulled back, and the lowness in his eyes disappeared instantly when he raised his head, "I'll go out, you clean up and go home tonight." ”
Song Mingyue answered lightly, and the moment the door closed, a mist instantly rose in her eyes, and her heart felt like she was being cogled by tens of thousands of ants.
"County Lord, I've done it according to your orders, do you want to go over?"
Seeing her distracted, she knocked softly on the door.
Song Mingyue came back to her senses, and her expression flashed with coldness, "Well, you remember to do what I went out for a while, and leave the rest to me." ”
The words were far away from her, but she was also frightened by the aura she exuded.
But I don't ask what I know I shouldn't ask, so I can only hide my curiosity.
A moment later, Song Mingyue came to the roof of the celadon tiles, and her cold eyes looked directly at the small stove opposite.
Xinyu saw Xiaozao's angry fireworks, sneakily came to the door of Xiaozao to observe, and walked in when he saw that there was no one around.
As long as she finishes today, she will be able to get a heavy reward of fifty taels of silver from Su Wanjun after Song Mingyue's food and medicine.
Fifty taels of silver she got back to subsidize the family, and it was enough for a year of worry-free food and clothing.
And she can save next year's monthly salary, and when she leaves the palace, she can also save a good amount of silver, and she can find a better marriage for herself when the time comes.
Xinyu seemed to have thought about her life in the future, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
However, she was about to pour the white powder wrapped in paper in her hand into her meal when her hand was suddenly grasped tightly and she could not move.
She chuckled in her heart, cold welled up on her forehead, and struggled to hide the medicine back in her clothes.
Song Mingyue looked at her coldly and said coldly, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhan Yu followed behind her, and when she saw this scene, Rao is good temperament also flashed a flash of anger, "Xinyu, why are you hurting me?" ”
These meals are all made by her, if it weren't for Song Mingyue's keen awareness, if something really happened, it would be like yellow mud in your pants, not, but.
When Xin Yu saw the person in front of him clearly, his face instantly turned pale with fright, "County, county lord? ”
"County master, the slave maid came to see if the meal was cooked."
Song Mingyue sneered, her cold gaze fell on what she was holding in her hand, "Really?" What do you have in your hands? ”
Xinyu reacted, immediately clenched the poison in her hand, and squeezed out a pale and weak smile, "No, nothing, it's some table salt." ”
"Table salt?" I still want to lie at this point, I am worthy of Su Wanjun's person, "Then is it appropriate for you to hide a mouthful of food and salt for the county lord." ”
When Xinyu heard this, her expression became frightened, just now her hands were shaking and she had already spilled some of the poison on the food, if she ate it, she would definitely be poisoned to death.
"What? Is it the county lord's food that is difficult to swallow? ”
Xin Yu smiled and said that her brain was working hard, "The slave maid has just tried, it's salty, the slave maid should go to the imperial dining room to get one for the county lord, right?" ”
It shouldn't be anything if you don't take the medicine for a day, after all, Song Mingyue has already eaten the drugged meals before, and sooner or later she will die of poison.
But this matter must not be made big, otherwise the queen will find out, and most of her rewards will be discounted or wasted.
But before she could touch the food, Song Mingyue coldly slapped her hand aside.
It was visible to the naked eye that her hands quickly turned red, and she felt that her arms hurt when she heard the sound.
Xinyu snorted in pain, looking at the person in front of her with a dark look, it was clear that she was a slender woman, and she actually had such great strength.
I'm afraid that the laundry lady doesn't have such strength, right?
Song Mingyue ignored her gaze and inserted the silver needle into the meal, which had turned black when she took it out again.
"How do you explain that?"
When Xinyu saw the blackened silver needle, her legs seemed to be drained of strength, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
"This, the slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid hasn't touched the meal in front of her."
Song Mingyue sneered and said, "Didn't you just say that you put salt?" ”
Xinyu hurriedly wiped her sweat, her heart beating violently, as if she was about to jump out of her body at any time, "I, slave maid..... The slave maid didn't touch this meal except for putting salt, by the way, this meal was prepared by Zhanyu, and it must be that Zhanyu wanted to frame you. ”
Zhan Yu was already angry in her heart, and when she heard her put the pot on her head, her anger exploded instantly.
"She's lying, I've already put the seasoning on the meal, it's definitely not salty, and I don't have to see her sneakily near the small stove these days."
Xinyu finally caught someone and withdrew her hat, how could she let go, and pretended to be angry: "You scoundrel, this poison is clearly from you, the county lord must not believe her, she is lying." ”
