Qi Zheng: "For so many years, you have been lurking around that seed, is he suspicious?" ”

Bai Xue, who was lying on the ground, replied respectfully: "Not yet." ”

"The day before yesterday, you did a great job." Qi Zheng's tone was cold, not angry, "However, you don't have to help him suppress me in the future." ”

"Master?" Bai Xue looked up at Qi Zheng.

"I've endured it for ten years!" Qi Zheng suppressed his dissatisfaction, "What did this wretch do?!" What did he do besides being sympathetic and sentimental?!! He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said steadily, "Why is Lan Xue poisoned?" Isn't it because of his woman's kindness that the dissident who should have been eliminated a long time ago is living well?! Separate the inner and outer courtyards and take care of some eyeliner! They should have been killed a long time ago!! Qi Zheng's eyes burst out with a cold killing intent!

Bai Xue: "Master! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he... It's a bitter one... If His Majesty discovers the existence of the master, people are afraid that they will lock up the master..."

Qi Zheng restrained his killing intent, squatted down to help Bai Xue's upper body, and said, "I only have you and Lan Xue, you two must not have an accident!" After a while, he will torture that father-in-law, if he is willing to accuse Concubine Yu to frame the prince, this Lan Xue's poisoning will be a great achievement! ”

Bai Xue: "People understand! ”

Qi Zheng: "It's hard for me to come out once, I'll go out and take a look around, get familiar with the environment and personnel, you tell me everything that has happened recently, there is always one, I will replace that seed!" Oh no! It's the main palace, and it will replace the wreck! ”

"The hosts... Can I wait for my sister to wake up before accompanying my master out to inspect? Bai Xue asked respectfully.

Qi Zheng glanced at Lan Xue and thought, "Wait until you blast out all the idle heat, what has happened to you and Bengong recently." ”

Bai Xue: "Yes. ”

Qi Zheng's ears twitched slightly, and he noticed that someone came out from the depths of the hall, so he stopped talking, stood up, and motioned Bai Xue to get up with his hand.

Ji Shenwen hurriedly came and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please heal that father-in-law, his tongue injury is not optimistic." ”

"Bai Xue, you go." Qi Zheng said lazily.

Bai Xue bypassed the screen in front of the bed, found the wound medicine in the cupboard, and went to the secret room.

Ji Shenwen was about to follow, and his father-in-law's loud voice came from outside the hall.

"King Yi'an, Princess Yi'an's visit-"

Qi Zheng wanted to refuse to see him, but when he realized that Ji Shenwen had stopped, and with a little curiosity, he said angrily outside the hall: "Xuan! ”

Qi Ming led Yan Mo into the inner hall by stepping on the shadow of the tree.

Qi Zheng's eyes were Ling, and he looked at it, through the tulle screen, he saw a slightly familiar figure, in the sea of consciousness of Qijin, the woman in red who often appeared, blended with the comers, the rain was marked, the bright flowers were stacked, and the old things were chasing the cold wave. The chest is blocked, the mourning disease is urged, and the dream is cut off from the mountain rain.

Thump! Thump!! With an interrupted gasp, Qi Zheng covered his chest, and suddenly fell to the ground!

"Your Highness!" Ji Shenwen hurriedly supported the prince!

Qi Ming and Yan Mo heard Ji Gongzi's shout and hurriedly strode up! I saw the prince behind the screen lying on the side of the bed, his eyebrows soft and slightly frowned...

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Brother Huang!"

The prince frowned deeply, opened his gentle eyes, and suddenly sat up alertly: "Lan Xue! He looked around and saw Lan Xue of incense moxibustion on the bed, he was stunned for a while, and put a finger against his eyebrows to ease his mind...

Ji Shenwen looked at the prince tentatively and said, "Your Highness, rest assured!" Lan Xue is fine..."

"Lan Xue..."The prince breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the edge of the bed, and said indifferently to Qi Ming and Yan, "There is nothing to do in this palace... It's just too tired..."

Yan Mo looked at Lan Xue and asked, "What happened?" ”

"It's up to you." Ji Shenwen said respectfully, "This morning I was playing chess with His Royal Highness the Prince, and Lan Xue sent breakfast, and before she had eaten, she suddenly vomited blood from her mouth!" Then Bai Xue directly pointed out a father-in-law in the outer courtyard, he had an antidote on him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince caught him and treated him..."

The prince listened carefully, and when he heard the word torture, his eyes widened slightly, and then he lowered his eyelids and looked at Lan Xue quietly...

Ji Shenwen saw that the prince didn't react much, and continued: "The name of the poison came out of the father-in-law, it is the poison of seven flowers and seven herbs, but there is no antidote on him, and then he wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but he was stopped by Zaixia, but he still fainted.... Fortunately, His Royal Highness's secret guard sent the antidote, and later Bai Xue invited the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription for Lan Xue after diagnosis, leaving incense moxibustion... Now Lan Xue is fine. ”

"You didn't touch the food, did you?" Yan Mo said indifferently.

"The prince and I don't even dare to touch the water..."Ji Shenwen suddenly remembered something, "Ah! It was the medicine that Bai Xue personally boiled, and I don't know the water source..."

At this time, Bai Xue walked out from the depths of the hall: "I have seen the prince and princess." ”

The prince learned from Ji Shenwen's words what happened during his unconscious period, he remained silent and ordered Bai Xue: "Since Princess Yi'an is here, you can assist her in investigating the source of the poison." Also, has the water source of this bowl of soup been checked? ”

Bai Xue said respectfully: "Your Highness, the decoction of medicine is used to hide the ice cubes in the cellar, the key has always been kept by the person and the sister, and there is no trace of invasion in the cellar, this medicine has also been tasted, it should be fine." ”

Prince: "You go to the dining room with the princess to investigate." ”

"Yes."

"Brother Huang." Qi Ming was a little worried about the prince.

The crown prince avoided Qi Ming's eyes and said, "The second emperor brother will also go with Bai Xue to help the princess." ”

After "......" Qi Ming made a move, he went out with Bai Xue and Yan Mo.

The prince stood up and walked to the window, turned his back to the only remaining Ji Shenwen and asked, "How is Gonggong Du?" ”

Ji Shenwen: "Du's father-in-law is seriously injured, and Bai Xue has just given him medicine, and I don't know if he has improved." ”

Prince: "Seeing the lynching of this palace, Ji Gongzi was surprised?" ”

Ji Shenwen said: "Your Highness is eager to save people's hearts, and I understand it below." ”

"The deep palace is not as good as the market." The prince said with authority, "Whether it is the matter of torture or the matter of Du's father-in-law, Ji Gongzi should forget it." ”

Ji Shenwen hesitated slightly, and said, "That... Do you still need to take care of Du's father-in-law? ”

The prince glanced back at Ji Shenwen, thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "I have someone from the palace to take care of it, why bother with Ji Gongzi, once the palace maid case is over, you will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

“... What His Highness said is extremely... It's being stupid. Ji Shenwen smiled, "Oh! I remembered it in the next! He turned around and took a porcelain vase from the cabinet outside the screen, and offered it with both hands, "Your Highness." ”

The prince took the porcelain vase and asked, "This is..."

"It's the antidote." Ji Shenwen said respectfully, "Your Highness, I really couldn't find a suitable bottle in Xia, so I had to use it to fill the antidote first." ”

Loading the antidote... The prince's thoughts swirled in his heart, glanced at Ji Shenwen who was bowing his head, looked back at the bottle and said to himself tentatively: "Seven flowers... Seven herb poisonous... Antidote. ”

Ji Shenwen: "Exactly. ”

Prince: "Thank you, Master Ji." ”

Hearing the other party's thanks, Ji Shenwen was slightly surprised, and then regained his composure and said: "Your Highness is polite, you are just acting according to your orders." ”

As instructed... The prince reacted and said: "Today's situation is full of problems, and Ji Gongzi has also been frightened a lot, you are a guest, but you let you help out, it is not too much to thank this palace." ”

Faced with the prince's watertight words, Ji Shenwen had admiration and doubts in his heart, he covered his thoughts, and said, "Your Highness is serious." ”

In the dining room of the East Palace, Yan Mo heard a crisp bird call as soon as he entered the door.

Bai Xue stepped through the door, and flicked the large bamboo birdcage fixed to the window, driving away a few sparrows that were accustomed to coming here to beg for food.

"What is this?" Yan Mo bent down and looked at the birdcage, one side of the hexahedron was empty, and the bird could land directly on the bamboo strip, facing the side of the inner room, with a simple latch on it to prevent the birds from flying into the dining room.

Bai Xue: "The ownerless birds in the palace are unattended, and His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, so let my sister and I feed some kitchen waste." ”

Yan Mo: "It's a way to test drugs." ”

Bai Xue puffed out her cheeks and said, "Your Highness is not for such a purpose!" ”

Yan Mo: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, I knew it before you!" Since there are no bird carcasses here, there is no problem with the ingredients. ”

"That's just for fruits and vegetables." Bai Xue sorted out today's breakfast, arranged them neatly on the table, and said, "All the food is here." ”

Yan Mo walked to the table and asked, "Only Lan Xue was poisoned, didn't you try it?" ”

Bai Xue: "For the sake of identification, my sister and I tried different foods, this row was my taste, and that row was tasted by my sister. ”

Qi Ming followed Yan Mo to the table and asked, "How are you going to test for drugs?" There are no chickens and ducks in the East Palace. ”

"Is there a pond?" Yan Mo asked Bai Xue.

Bai Xue: "There's a pond behind the dining room. ”

Yan Mo raised his eyebrows on one side, handed a wooden basin to Qi Ming, and jokingly said, "Lord Wang, do me a favor?" ”

Qi Ming's usual shallow smile faded a little: "There are so many people in the palace, there is no need for this king." ”

"In the inner courtyard, ordinary palace people are not allowed to enter without the permission of His Highness." Bai Xue stood beside Yan Mo and looked at Qi Mingdao.

Qi Ming had to take the wooden basin and go to the pond to catch fish, he used his internal force to hit a quasi and catch it with the wooden basin! Because the tail of the fish was swinging back and forth, Qi Ming straightened his arm in disgust and carried three or four live fish into the dining room with a wooden basin.

Yan Mo took the fish basin and grabbed it with one hand, divided the fish in the pond into different wooden basins, and asked Bai Xue, "How long did it take for Lan Xue to start tasting food from the dining room to the inner hall?" ”

Bai Xue: "About half a pillar of incense." ”

"To be on the safe side, check the row you tasted as well." Yan Mo looked at the type of breakfast, turned his head to Qi Ming and said, "I'm tired of catching a few more fish!" ”

Although he was reluctant, Qi Ming still took the wooden basin and went out again obediently.

After he came back from catching the fish, Yan Mo quickly separated the ten pond fish and began to test for poison.

Yan Mo: "A priori ice." ”

Snow puts the ice cubes in.

Yan Mo: "Let's come to the medicine residue again." ”

Under the guidance of Yan Mo, Bai Xue delivered different "food" to the pond fish.

"The next thing is to wait..."Yan Mo and Bai Xue were each in charge of five pots of fish, and the two of them leaned on the side of the table, their hands around their chests, and waited quietly.

Yan Mo: "Bai Xue, what happened to me at that time, how do you know that Gonggong Du is suspicious?" ”

Bai Xue: "Du's father-in-law is the father-in-law who guards the gate of the courtyard, His Royal Highness knows that he is the eyeliner of Concubine Xuan, in order not to make people suspicious, His Royal Highness did not deliberately avoid it, but just let him continue to guard the door." Today, when I was making breakfast with my sister, I caught a glimpse of him peeking in front of the courtyard gate, so my sister closed the door and window and continued to make breakfast. ”

Yan Mo followed Bai Xue's gaze, and through the door of the dining room, he could see the courtyard gate in the distance, and there was a distance of about thirty steps between the two.

Bai Xue: "It must be Concubine Yu who wants to poison His Highness!" She has been afraid of His Highness for a long time! Fortunately, Lu Qi reacted quickly and found the antidote in time! ”

Yan Mo: "Where did Lu Qi find the antidote?" ”

Bai Xue: "Concubine Yu's Joy Palace, we all know whose eyeliner Grandpa Du is." ”

Yan Mo: "How is the Joy Palace also a concubine's dormitory, how does Lu Qi know where the antidote is?" ”

Bai Xue put on a useless expression and said, "Is it only someone else's place eyeliner in the East Palace?" ”

"Ah~ It's my brain that has a short circuit." Yan Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"What is a short circuit?" Bai Xue asked, wrinkling one eyebrow.

Yan Mo: "Hehe, I just haven't turned a corner... Since it was only you and Lan Xue who were here to make breakfast, how did Gonggong Du poison him? Have you ever left the dining room during this time? ”

Bai Xue recalled: "There is a field behind the side of the dining room, and my sister planted a lot of herbs to increase Her Highness's appetite, and my sister and I left for a while while while we were cutting herbs, but I paid attention to the vicinity of the dining room, and no one approached, and to be on the safe side, we locked the doors and windows when we came out." ”

Yan Mo observed the doors and windows and asked, "Are they all locked?" ”

Bai Xue: "The doors and windows facing the courtyard gate here are locked, and the windows facing the backyard are where my sister and I are, so they are not locked." ”

Yan Mo looked out through the window and saw that the backyard of the dining room was not large and was surrounded by a wall. She sighed and said, "If Gonggong Du hadn't been in a coma, just ask him directly, why bother." ”

Bai Xue: "He has a tongue, even if he wakes up, I'm afraid he won't be able to speak so quickly." ”

Yan Mo: "It's always okay to point to something, nod and shake your head, right?" ”

Bai Xuewang said indifferently: "Anyway, when the half pillar of incense passes, the answer will be revealed." ”

Qi Ming stood still from afar, he didn't like the fishy smell of fish, he stood at the window and listened to their conversation, looking at the backyard, which was green and shining, and the summer sun illuminated them brightly.

The three of them waited like this... But! A stick of incense has passed, and ten pots of fish are still alive!

"Impossible...," Bai Xue wondered, "all the food my sister has touched is here..."

Qi Ming looked back when he heard the sound, the hand on the window edge rubbed because of his turn, he raised his hand to look, and found a colorful feather in the gap between the window edges, he pulled out the feather and came to Yan Mo with a puzzled face.

Qi Ming: "Yan'er, this king found it on the edge of the window." ”

Yan Mo: "Feathers? ”

Qi Ming: "It's a feather like a climbing bird." ”

"Pet birds?" Yan Mo looked at the sparrows in the birdcage and asked Bai Xue, "What other birds will come to beg for food besides sparrows?" ”

Bai Xue: "The precious and beautiful birds are all owner-owned, and those who will come here to beg for food are sparrows, swallows, and occasionally a few magpies and pulsatillas..."

Yan Mo: "None of their feathers are so dazzling... Can someone raise parrots in the palace? ”

Bai Xue: "I have to ask Your Highness about this." ”

Yan Mo looked around the dining room with colored feathers, she looked up and down, not letting go of any corner... Finally, another colored feather was found stuck to the wall of the stove at the bottom corner of the stove. She looked up the feathers, the spatulas were all used, touched with the food, but the food was not poisonous, and it was clear that they were innocent. The steamer was covered tightly, Yan Mo opened it and looked at it, there was the residue of flour on it, it should be the traces left by making Longjing crisp, Longjing crisp is not poisonous, the steamer is also innocent, there are a few nut crumbs on the stove outside the steamer, which is the raw material of Longjing crisp inward...

Then Yan Mo found a pair of clever glazed plates, she pointed to the plates and asked, "What is this?" ”

Bai Xue leaned closer and said, "It's a tasting plate, one each for me and my sister." ”

Yan Mo picked up the column clamp on the side and put the two tasting plates into the adjacent fish basins...

But in a quarter of an hour, Yan Mo and Bai Xue, who were squatting around the fish basin, found that there was a pond fish with a white belly...

Yan Mo: "Hmm! The source of the poison is on the tasting plate! ”

Bai Xue twisted her eyebrows: "Sister's tasting plate is an old thing... How did you get poisoned all the time? ”

"With a parrot!" Yan Mo held up his feathers and said, "Parrots are very intelligent birds, and they can do a lot of things after training!" ”

"Parrot... Session of the kind of parrot? Bai Xue asked.

Yan Mo: "The next thing is just my conjecture, you and Lan Xue went to the backyard to pick herbs, and only left for a while, and the doors and windows facing the courtyard door were locked, and no one approached." In fact, just because people can't approach doesn't mean that other things can't get close. At this time, a parrot should have flown in, and through the bamboo birdcage, it opened the latch with its beak, and when it flew out, it kicked the door and closed it! Then it flew up to the stove and saw these peanut pieces, so it stopped there, pecked at the peanuts, and then used its body to dip the venom into the tasting dish... For example, use your claws to dye the venom and press on the tasting plate to complete the task! Another example is to use their thick feathers to dipped in venom, stop next to the tasting plate, and tilt their heads on their stomachs! Rub the venom into the saucer! Quests can also be completed! ”

Bai Xue recalled: "Listen to you, when my sister and I were in the backyard, we did hear some bird calls, and they were very melodious, probably... There are three different pitch shifts! ”

Yan Mo pondered: "Sparrows often visit here, you and Lan Xue are numb to bird calls, trained parrots not only know human words, but also learn the calls of other birds..."

Qi Ming: "There is also a possibility that the bird's call was made by a human and used to command the parrot. ”

Yan Mo glanced at Qi Ming with approving: "It's very possible!" Gonggong Du was wandering outside the courtyard gate before, maybe he was spying on the opportunity, and then used this method to command the parrot to poison! ”

Bai Xue: "But we were in the backyard and we didn't see any birds flying out of the window..."

Yan Mo: "Hmm... The front door is locked, it will take time for you to unlock it, and if it is alert, it will fly out of the window at this point! That's why they left feathers on that window! Of course, all this is just speculation, and we have to wait for Du's father-in-law to wake up and confirm with him. ”

Bai Xue finally showed a little joy: "Now that the source of the poison has been found, the bowl of soup can be eaten with confidence." ”

"Let's go!" Yan Mo led the way to the main hall.

In the Palace of Joy, Concubine Yu feeds a blue and yellow macaw, because today it has accomplished a great thing, and the full nuts in the food bowl of the perched stand are its reward!

Mama Leng hurriedly came, knelt on her knees and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, there is news from the East Palace, what is poisoned... It's the maid Lan Xue! ”

"What?!" Concubine Yu threw the nut box in her hand and said, "It was Lan Xue who was poisoned?!! It's not so poisonous that the prince counts his fate! Is even Ji Gongzi safe and sound?! ”

Mama Leng: "Mother is angry!" The most important thing now is to transfer Du's father-in-law out of the East Palace to prevent the East Window incident from affecting the Joy Palace. ”

"Go and explore! What's going on in the East Palace! Concubine Yu said angrily, "You know what to do if necessary!" ”

"Yes." Mama Leng took the order and went out.

"Humph!" Concubine Yu looked at the macaw eating nuts happily and said, "If they can't find you, you're still useful, if they know, this is your last meal!" ”

"I'm not a stupid bird! I'm not a stupid bird! The macaw replied!
