Chapter 17: The Suspicious Maid
The maid was silent and stopped talking, Chi Yingchu raised her feet and wanted to leave, but found that she seemed to have stepped on something under her feet, and when she squatted down, she saw the black jar under the bed.
She took out the jar and opened it, there was half a jar of black stuff inside, as if it was medicine residue or something else, and the maid sat up in shock: "What do you want to do?"
"I'll just take it out and take a look. Chi Yingchu took advantage of her inattention, quietly hid some medicine residue in her sleeve, and the maid took the jar from her.
"This is the residue of my body before, and I have been delayed because I haven't had time to deal with it, so if you're okay, go back." ”
"Hmm. Chi Yingchu didn't stay any longer, grabbed the medicine residue and walked out quickly.
She had a strange feeling in her heart, this medicine residue must not be simple, and she had to check it out.
Not long after Chi Yingchu left, Zhao Lique led the doctor over again, and the doctor he found was over half a hundred years old, and he had been practicing medicine and selling medicine for many years, so it was needless to say that his medical skills were naturally not to mention.
But the maid was reluctant at first, and she couldn't stand the intimidation, so the doctor diagnosed and treated her, and found no problems, but the symptoms on her body were really terrifying.
The maid was so frightened that her face was panicked, and she wanted to kowtow to Zhao Lique again: "Please forgive the maid the fifth aunt, the maid is still ...... to survive."
"Shut up!" Zhao Lique glared at her impatiently, if it weren't for the fear of getting into trouble for herself, she wouldn't have asked her subordinates for a doctor.
"You and Chu Tongfang are calculating me together, I can't resist, I just want not to affect my family. ”
Zhao Lique stood outside the curtain as if he hadn't heard it, urging in a disgusted tone: "It's midsummer, this smell is really unbearable, the doctor should be faster." ”
The doctor diagnosed and treated him several times, confirmed that his judgment was correct, and then walked out, and said to Zhao Lique: "The old man's medical skills are not perfect, and he has not diagnosed such a strange disease for the time being." ”
"Even you can't see it?" Zhao Lique couldn't help but raise his voice, realizing that he had overreacted, and eased his attitude, "I don't blame you. ”
"There is still something to deal with in the pharmacy, please ask the fifth aunt to order someone to send me back. "The doctor has seen so many diseases, and this is the first time I have encountered such a strange case.
"Don't worry, I'm feeling a little unwell and I need your attention. Zhao Lique took him back to his yard, and then asked someone to report to Chi Yingchu.
"When I was at Zhao's house, I was looking for him when I saw a doctor, and if you gave him something, he should be able to test it. Zhao Lique saw her coming over and hurriedly explained.
Chi Yingchu walked into the room, not in a hurry to get the medicine residue, her eyes fell on Chunzhi behind her, pursed her lips and said, "You let her go out first." ”
Zhao Lique frowned in displeasure: "Are you still prejudiced against her?"
It's not that she's biased, it's that she doesn't believe Chunzhi at all, but she didn't say it.
Zhao Lique's eyes were full of anger, but in order to find out the murderer, he had to compromise: "I understand, you go out first." ”
Chunzhi exited and closed the door.
"That's what I just found. Chi Yingchu took out the medicine residue wrapped in a cloth ball, and the two nervously waited for the doctor's diagnosis.
"There are several flavors of medicine that are non-toxic, but when put together, the medicinal properties will clash with each other, and then fuse into the body to become highly toxic. ”
Chi Yingchu chuckled, and his face became more and more solemn: "Are you sure there is no possibility of admitting your mistake?"
The doctor's fingers lightly twisted the medicine residue, and then came closer and sniffed: "Although the old man doesn't know the symptoms, he is still somewhat sure of the medicine." ”
But she said at the time that it was a medicine to nourish the body. ”
She pursed her lips and frowned, remembering the maid's panicked appearance at that time, she felt suspicious at the time, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
It's just that why did the maid poison herself and choose to cover it up?
Zhao Lique vaguely understood, and slapped the table angrily: "I'm going to tell the prince that someone is framing him!"
Chi Yingchu's headache rubbed his eyebrows, if Lu Yuanbai listened to it, he wouldn't have to see the result the day after tomorrow.
She didn't open her mouth to stop her, Zhao Lique took two steps out and turned back, looking at her arrogantly: "You also have a part in this matter, you go with me." ”
"You find someone to send the doctor back. She put away the medicine residue and walked out despite Zhao Lique's complaints.
Zhao Lique felt that he was being despised and shouted at her back: "It's really giving you face!"
In the end, it was Chunzhi who sent the doctor away, and Chi Yingchu sat in his room, his fingers digging through the dregs, thinking that if he was the maid......
The look in her eyes was much brighter, if she was that girl, if something like this happened today, she would definitely dispose of the medicine residue as soon as possible.
Tonight is an opportunity, and it would be great if we could squat down on some good news.
Even if there is none, the maid's reaction today is abnormal, as long as there is a move, there will definitely be traces to follow!
Zhao Lique was afraid that she would be completely offended, so he sent people to come several times, but they were all perfunctory by Chi Yingchu, and when it was quiet at night, he quietly turned into the courtyard of the next person's house.
The cicadas chirped in the grass, and after waiting for a while, she saw that the maid, who was still weak during the day, was now able to walk on the ground.
The maid looked around, found that there was no one, and hurried out with a black jar, her steps along the way were extremely fast, obviously purposeful.
Chi Yingchu also followed quickly, bypassing the rockery stone road, and when she got close to the maid, she smelled a strange smell that was not as strong as during the day, the maid looked back, and she subconsciously hid behind the rockery.
The maid opened the jar and poured the medicine residue into the pool, Chi Yingchu wanted to go out to stop it, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and she looked up and saw a pair of bright eyes.
The other party is a man, but she doesn't look like a little maid in the house, she opened her mouth to shout that she was covered with her mouth: "Shhh ”
She couldn't remember where he said they met, and besides, Lu Yuanbai and her that night, could they be considered married?
"You see, if nothing happens, there will be people coming later, and when the time comes, the most powerful evidence is that people will be stolen, and you will go out early!"
Chi Yingchu's eyes were staring at the maid's movements, and he had to guard against him from time to time, and when the maid finished disposing of the dregs, she was about to leave, and she didn't see anyone coming.
She suddenly broke free of his hand and chased after the maid in three or two steps: "Stop!"
The maid was so frightened that she threw the jar in her hand into the pool, and turned her head to run, but Chi Yingchu chased after her and pressed her to the ground in a few steps.
In another part of the bamboo forest, the figure turned around and left when he saw this scene, and the man behind the rockery wanted to chase after him.
"I can be regarded as catching you, what is in your jar, I will explain everything to me, it's better to explain it clearly!"
Chi Yingchu sat on the maid's body, tied her arms behind her back skillfully with both hands, and the man raised his feet and stepped forward, and saw the torch moving not far away and quietly retreated.
The maid struggled to push her, her center of gravity was unstable and she almost fell, and her shoulder was suddenly held down by a strong big hand, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Lu Yuanbai.
The faces of the two were very close, and they could see themselves in each other's eyes clearly, Lu Yuanbai chuckled and said: "The third lady is really capable!"
Chi Yingchu didn't have any embarrassment on her face, and when she got up from her, the maid wanted to run but was stopped by the guards.
"Actually, her illness is fake!"
