Chapter 175: Poison in the Dish!
Ye Lingxi made such a large principal in order to let Yu Wenyin dispel the idea of letting her sleep in a short period of time. So, she let Yu Wenyin lift the quilt, and took the initiative to move her body so that Yu Wenyin could see the wound clearly.
Although the scald wound was not large, the surface was red and swollen, and there was a layer of blisters, which looked terrifying.
"Oh my God...... Painless......"
Yu Wenyin looked at Ye Lingxi with a distressed face, and her frowning brows didn't know if it was because she was really distressed, or because she regretted that Ye Lingxi couldn't sleep.
"Painful ......"
Ye Lingxi pursed his mouth, tears crumbling in his eyes.
"How can it be scalded like this...... The subordinates of Xingliu Palace are not doing well, who is responsible for pouring tea for you today, I will punish him heavily! ”
Yu Wenyin turned on the accountability mode again, and Ye Lingxi secretly said that it was not good.
The stars kneeling beside him are really afraid, this is really a disaster......
"Back to the emperor, yes...... Minion ......"
Yuwen Yin's eagle-like eyes shot at the stars who were kneeling on the ground with their heads down, making the stars like a mang.
Seeing that Yu Wenyin was about to open his mouth to punish, Ye Lingxi hurriedly and wisely relieved Xingchen.
"Ahh I'm so hungry! Xingchen, go and bring me something delicious! Hurry up...... No, I'm going to starve to death...... Ahh......h Yes...... No way......"
It wasn't until Xingchen finally came to his senses and ran out in a puff of smoke that Ye Lingxi stopped wailing.
……
Yu Wenyin's forehead seemed to slowly float over a crow......
"What the hell is going on?"
"Ah, husband, in fact, it's no wonder that Xingchen is here, I asked him to do something else, and then poured his own tea, so he accidentally spilled it and burned himself. It's me who was careless, no wonder others, if you want to be punished, then punish me......"
Ye Lingxi looked like he was at home, which made Yu Wenyin very helpless.
"You ghostly clever, how can I be willing to punish you...... Remember to be careful in the future, pour tea and tell your subordinates to do it. ”
This time, Ye Lingxi nodded obediently.
Yu Wenyin smiled with satisfaction.
"Husband, you go and take care of your state affairs first, I have Xingchen to take care of it here, no problem, don't worry!"
After a period of time with Yuwen Yin, Ye Lingxi felt a deep powerlessness, and she really wanted to drive Yuwen Yin away as soon as possible.
Yu Wenyin didn't hear Ye Lingxi's intention to drive away, but when Ye Lingxi was empathetic and not clingy, he left after instructing him to change the medicine and drink the medicine on time.
After Yuwenyin left, Xingchen came back with a lot of delicacies, and the two of them were almost behind the feet, obviously, Xingchen did not waste Ye Lingxi's painstaking efforts to fight for her to be exempted, and she didn't come back until Yuwenyin left.
"The slave thanked the queen mother."
"No thanks, it's not your fault in the first place. If he really punished you, I would have a troubled conscience! ”
Ye Lingxi was really a little hungry, she dragged her scalded leg to the table, intending to start eating.
Just picked up a piece of meat and was about to put it in his mouth, Ye Lingxi suddenly paused.
That's not right......
She put down the piece of meat, picked up the leaves from the same dish, and sniffed it gently.
That's right! It's The Lancet! Poisonous in the dish!
The lancet, colorless and odorless, can kill invisibly.
As the name suggests, this poison is like a knife in the shape of a willow leaf, and it will cause severe pain in the abdomen of the person who consumes this poison to death. Life and death are also a very cruel poison.
Someone actually poisoned her?! It's still such a bad poison!
Ye Lingxi shook the chopsticks, and he was no longer in the mood to eat.
"What's wrong with the Queen? These dishes are your favorite dishes, and if you are not satisfied, the minion will bring you something else. ”
Xingchen stepped forward and asked with concern, his expression not faking.
Ye Lingxi didn't dare to believe it at this time, and he didn't even dare to confirm whether this poison would be related to Xingchen. Her mind was in turmoil, and her heart was troubled.
"I was upset and suddenly I didn't want to eat! Take it all down and pour it out! ”
Xingchen didn't dare to say more, so he had to take all the dishes.
Ye Lingxi lay on the bed irritably, and the burns on her thighs ached faintly, which made her feel resentful.
What kind of life are you living now...... I can't even eat!
Running away is useless, but it's most comfortable......
Ye Lingxi's eyes closed, and he soon fell asleep.
In the dream, Xiao An'an appeared again......
"Lady, what kind of place is this?"
"This is the place to watch the beautiful woman show, let's go shopping first, buy a dress, I'll change it, and we'll come to the show in the evening!"
"Don't! I don't want to watch beautiful women perform, I only watch lady performances! ”
"Good, I want to see it, you can take a look with me, okay?"
"Don't, don't, lady, let's go home quickly! You don't want to watch the beauty show, I'll show you when I get home, how about it? ”
……
"Ahh
Ye Lingxi woke up sweating profusely, it was terrible......
Dreams and reality are once again intertwined, in Ye Lingxi's memory, this incident clearly happened with Yu Wenyin, but it was restored in the dream unchanged, and the person in the dream was no longer Yu Wenyin, but became the little An'an.
So, did this incident happen with Yu Wenyin, or with Xiao An'an?!
Just when Ye Lingxi was in a trance, the screams of the palace maid and eunuch suddenly came from outside the door.
"Ahh Dead man!! ”
"Ahh It's scary, it's scary! ”
Ye Lingxi hurriedly put on his coat and slowly moved to the courtyard with his scalded legs.
In the courtyard, Xingchen had already arrived in time, and she ran over to support Ye Lingxi as soon as possible.
"The queen doesn't have to care about these things, just the slave will deal with it, it's important for you to go back to the house to recuperate."
"But they said that there were dead people, and human lives were at stake, so let's go over and see what happened."
Xingchen knew that he couldn't resist Ye Lingxi, so he had to help Ye Lingxi to the source of the incident, the door of a palace maid's room.
It turned out that it was a palace maid from Xingliu Palace who suddenly died violently in the room, next to the bed, and there was an unused dish.
Ye Lingxi recognized it at a glance, it was the dish she had just found that had lancet poison!
Looking at the palace maid's state of death again, her face was distorted, and the bedding around her was messy. It can be seen what kind of painful struggle she experienced before she died.
Ye Lingxi's brows furrowed. Originally, someone wanted to poison her, but she didn't want to, but she caused this innocent palace maid to be poisoned.
However, how could that dish be eaten by this palace maid?!
"Xingchen, is that the dish I asked you to throw away? How could he be eaten by this palace maid? ”
Xingchen was already pale with fright, although she was young, she had been in this palace for some years. She can naturally understand the scene in front of her.
That dish is poisonous, if Ye Lingxi eats it just now, I'm afraid that it will be Ye Lingxi who is dead now.
"Queen Mother, the slave doesn't know! Just now, the servant threw the vegetables into the leftovers pile, and there is usually a palace maid to clean it up. The slave doesn't know, she ......"
Xingchen was so anxious that he knelt on the ground, although he was answering the question raised by Ye Lingxi, he was very afraid of another question in his heart.
The most important thing now is not why this palace maid ate the leftovers that the queen didn't want, but why this dish is poisonous!
"Back to the queen, Xiao Ren often steals leftovers that the queen doesn't want, and this time, she also offered to be responsible for cleaning up the leftovers. The slave maid guessed that she thought the queen's leftovers were more delicious before she ate them. It's just that I didn't expect ......"
Another palace maid took the initiative to step forward and tell the truth of the matter.
Ye Lingxi had already guessed about this, this palace was very extravagant, and the leftovers of the masters were more sumptuous than the meals of the people. The palace maid greedily ate her leftovers, which makes sense.
However, what attracted Ye Lingxi's attention was not the palace maid stealing leftovers, but the dead palace maid, who turned out to be called Xiao Pian!
Little mercy...... Xiaolian ......
Ye Lingxi chewed on this name repeatedly, and she clearly remembered that she once had a personal maidservant, also called Xiaolian!
Xiaolian is her exclusive stylist, who will help her design exquisite braids, make exquisite makeup for her, and practice martial arts with her......
Don't......
Ye Lingxi hurriedly sent away Xingchen's support, regardless of his leg injury, he immediately rushed to the bed of the palace maid of death, straightened her face, and observed it carefully.
Ye Lingxi searched desperately in her mind, realistic and dreamy, she didn't know whether she was searching for a dream or reality, in short, it was not the same as the distorted face in front of her.
Not her...... Luckily, it's not her......
But where did Xiaolian go......
"The queen mother is sad, and she pities her...... Fu Bo, can no longer continue to serve the mother. Minion ......"
"Xingchen, you come back to the room with me, I have something to ask you."
Ye Lingxi quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation in front of him.
The palace maid in the Xingliu Palace was poisoned to death for stealing leftovers, which at least shows that the poison is most likely not caused by people in the Xingliu Palace.
Because, if it wasn't poisoned to Ye Lingxi, the person who poisoned it would definitely find a way to destroy that dish, and would not let it be discarded casually and regenerate senseless incidents. What's more, there is such a palace maid in the Xingliu Palace who always likes to steal her leftovers.
As soon as this incident comes out, the Xingliu Palace and even the entire palace will definitely strengthen the vigilance in terms of diet, and it will be difficult for the poisoned person to take action again......
Ye Lingxi believes that Xiao Lian was poisoned, it was an accident, and it must not be what the poisoner wants to see.
Then, the suspicion of Xingchen can basically be ruled out.
As long as it is not poisoned by Xingchen, Ye Lingxi can rest assured that he will find the real murderer with Xingchen.
"Bury her well, and give her family a pension compensation."
After arranging Xiao Lian's affairs, Ye Lingxi turned around and left.
Xingchen waved her hand and signaled the palace maids and eunuchs to hurry up and do what the queen mother ordered, and then, she helped Ye Lingxi and walked towards Ye Lingxi's room.
