Chapter Twenty-Eight: Robbery While the Fire is Burning

When he was sure that someone didn't come with him, Bai Jiuke breathed a sigh of relief, but he also admired himself, his courage was really not small at all, and he dared to show his hole cards to him directly, and he was really stupid.

But looking at his appearance, it seems that he didn't expect that he would be so direct, right?

But that's fine, in the past, it was always tacit, but this time it's clear, although it can't change anything, but I'm finally at ease in my heart.

The freshly bathed cypress wine is like a hibiscus out of the water, fresh and refined, and it has a little more taste of fireworks than usual.

When Mama Zhang and Lian'er saw her coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Niangniang, where have you been?" Can slaves and maids be easy to find? ”

Seeing that she didn't answer, Mama Zhang glanced at Lian'er and said, "Niangniang, that Qu girl said that she has something to look for you." ”

Bai Jiuke said a word, walked into the study, and saw that Qu Pei was already waiting aside, and after hearing her come in, he slowly turned around, took out a black silver needle, and said, "Can you see what kind of poison this is?" ”

From the moment she took it out, she already knew where this silver needle came from, Bai Jiuke took it and looked at it, she didn't know how to heal, she couldn't detect it.

Qu Pei looked clear and said: "You don't know, it's normal, don't really say it, this poison, even I can't detect it, let alone you?" ”

After a pause, he continued: "Well, I have a way to try it out. ”

Bai Jiuke was not angry at what she said, but was curious about her sudden interest in this matter: "Why are you ......?"

"How could you be interested in this, wouldn't you?"

"Actually, it's nothing, I'm just curious, think about it, I studied under Master Cesar, and I've seen countless kinds of poisons, but I still haven't seen this kind of poison, so I want to see what kind of poison is so powerful, besides, you should have already told your husband that you will give him an explanation, right?"

"Although I don't like you very much, but after all, you saved my life, and I will help you with this, as for whether you can find the murderer in the future, this ......... It's up to you. ”

"Now, you help me get a bowl of water."

Bai Jiuke's questioning appearance kept looking at herself, which made her panic for a moment, but soon, she had calmed down, anyway, she didn't lie about this matter, not to mention, she was confident, and she was not afraid.

Bai Jiuke stared at her for a long time, and seeing that her eyes were calm, Bai Jiuke didn't ask, but turned around and went out.

After the water was fetched, Qu Pei put the silver needle into the clear water, only to see that the moment the silver needle touched the water, the originally black needle would be the same in an instant, and the water in the bowl was getting darker and darker.

"Sure enough............"

Bai Jiuke was puzzled: "What kind of poison is this?" ”

"This is a poison extracted from poppies, of course, a small amount is not fatal, but it is addictive, and it also produces hallucinations, but if the amount is too large, it can kill people on the spot."

"Poppy? Poppy again? ”

Hallucinations? Aren't the people who used to commit suicide?

Bai Jiuke frowned, and then, looked at the girl in front of him, and suddenly, he seemed to understand why someone was chasing her, and it seemed that he already had a little direction to investigate this case.

"Now that you know what kind of poison this is, you should be able to make an antidote, right? Help me make the antidote, and start now. ”

This made Qu Pei very unhappy, and he helped her purely because he really saved himself before her, and he just wanted to see what kind of reaction she, the person behind the scenes, would have after knowing that her poison had been guessed by herself?

In addition, now, she is still in the palace, if she can be allowed to show her feet, at least she can lose the backer of King Jin.

But now it's good that she dares to order herself like this, which makes her very unhappy, and besides, isn't she the one who refines poppy poison?

Still need to ask her for an antidote?

Wasn't it just that I was afraid to research the antidote myself? Why is it doing this now? What exactly is she trying to do?

"Okay, but I want the princess to agree to my request first, and, princess, can you give me five hundred taels of silver first?"

A hint of displeasure flashed in Bai Jiuke's eyes, this girl is inevitably too greedy, isn't this a forcible robbery?

Although she is a princess, she is also a princess who is not favored, and on weekdays, she has to take out fifty taels to reward her subordinates, let alone five hundred taels, even if she is killed, there is no.

However, this little girl really has some skills, in such a short time, you can find out what kind of poison this is, looking at her confident appearance, it should not be difficult to prepare an antidote.

It's just a pity that such a capable girl is so greedy, and this opening is asking for five hundred taels, and what's more, she doesn't know what conditions she will offer.

Met her eyes with some disgust with herself, and she also felt that she was a little excessive, but now, she wanted her to show her fox tail, so naturally, she wanted her to agree to insert herself into this case, otherwise, how could she implement the plan to let her show her feet?

What's more, she is really poor now, and there are still a few sisters waiting for her at home, she caused herself to lose half of her life, so what if she wants her five hundred taels?

Either kill yourself now, or obediently agree to your own conditions, and you want to see what she will do?

Anyway, if it falls into her hands, she didn't think that she would be able to continue to live at all, so it was better to gamble on it.

Bai Jiuke also has a headache, the palace is now in charge of the silver of the concubine Yue, so many years, even the silver has never been given to himself, let alone five hundred taels, if you want to ask them, it is obviously impossible.

In addition, when he married into the palace, his parents didn't agree at all, so he didn't give himself much dowry, and over the years, he was not favored, and his things were secretly sold a lot by the subordinates of those forces.

Although she has made a lot of pomp and circumstance in recent days, it was just that her parents came, and Concubine Yue didn't want to give her a mouthful of words, maybe she would have to take it back one day.

But right now, looking at the appearance of this girl, it is obvious that it is also inevitable, if she doesn't agree, it is estimated that it will not work, she gritted her teeth, took out a bag of silver from her arms and put it on the table.

"I can promise you, but that's all I have now, don't worry, since I promised you, I will do it, and in the future, I will give you all the money I owe you."

Qu Pei picked up the money bag on the table and turned it upside down, and then pushed the money bag back without hesitation: "Hey, I said, Princess Niangniang, I said five hundred taels, but you ........ Not doubled, what, does the princess look down on me? I'm not called Hanako, so easy to deal with. ”

"Since the princess has no sincerity to cooperate, then I think there is no need to cooperate, as for the money, you can take it back."
