Chapter 174: Poisoning

I heard Shen Rulan tell everyone mysteriously: "This cousin of the Du family has been summoned by the emperor today." ”

"Huh?"

Everyone opened their mouths wide, and if they could be seen by the emperor in person, it can be seen that the other party's family must be very profound and prominent!

When facing Wanyi, some timid people didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

At this moment, a maid came in and invited everyone to have lunch in the Lixin Hall.

When Shen Rulan heard this, she hurriedly beckoned everyone to lunch.

When everyone heard that they were going to eat, they all became busy.

Looking for a handkerchief, looking for a handkerchief, calling people to add charcoal to the hand stove, and letting people help straighten the hairpin. ……!

Taking advantage of everyone's scramble, Shen Rulan pulled Wanyi and left, leaving everyone behind.

Seeing that Shen Rulan was gone, everyone hurriedly followed.

Because of this interruption, no one asked Wanyi's origin for the time being.

The Lixin Hall is a hall specially used for banquets, which is spacious and bright, and the environment is quiet.

The words on the plaque above the hall are taken from the poem of the poet Li Shen of the previous dynasty, "Every grain is hard". It means that I hope everyone can cherish the hard-won food.

When Wanyi and the others arrived, they found that the crown prince and the crown princess had also come:

The prince's purple golden light, graceful and noble; The crown princess is beautiful and beautiful, bright as the autumn moon, and scorching!

The two stood together, and really responded to the sentence: Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world!

Wanyi couldn't help but sigh secretly, until a girl next to her pulled her shirt and signaled her not to collide with the two nobles, that she withdrew her gaze.

The Grain Xin Hall has been divided into two halves with a screen, and there is an earth dragon in it, and there is a charcoal stove burning around it, but it is not too cold or stuffy.

The crown princess said a few polite words to everyone, and then sat on the women's seat with her daughters.

Seeing Shen Rulan coming, the crown princess beckoned her over.

At the same table were Shen Rulan's grandmother and mother, as well as several aunts.

It's just because Shen Rulan, whether in the General's Mansion or in front of the emperor, is the most favored one among the grandchildren of the eldest princess of Jinyang.

In addition to the crown princess, there is only one junior at this table, Shen Rulan.

Facing the elders at the table, Shen Rulan was a little uncomfortable. Seeing a few princesses sitting at the next table, they hurriedly sat down.

She was about to beckon Wanyi to come and sit down, but she saw Wanyi pulling the two girls and sitting on the table in the corner.

After all, if you sit too conspicuously, if others ask again, it will be troublesome to wear goofs.

Seeing this, Shen Rulan had no choice but to go with her.

Who knows, halfway through the meal, in the men's guest seat where the prince was sitting, some people were unwell one after another. Soon after, several people, including the crown prince, fell.

"Not good! Someone poisoned! ”

With this shout, "Hula-la-!" In the blink of an eye, a team of Yulin troops rushed in and surrounded the lobby. No one, male or female, is allowed to move around at will, and the murderer is also prevented from mixing in and taking advantage of the opportunity to escape.

There are timid girls, who can't help but cry in fright in the face of such a scene.

The young princess, ignoring the princess's anxiety and panic, shouted at her vigorously: "Imperial sister-in-law! I'm going homeβ€”β€”! ”

Shen Rulan resisted the urge to slap her, and pressed her to prevent her from moving.

As for coaxing, that's no.

Although the crown princess was in a hurry, she still maintained her dignified appearance, and calmly cooperated with Madam Lan, who was in charge of the Shen Mansion, to deal with the affairs of the banquet together.

Fortunately, because there are guests coming these days, just in case, in addition to the special doctor in the house, General Shen also invited a doctor to sit in the house.

Soon, the imperial doctor surnamed Liu rushed over.

As soon as he came, he went straight to the prince.

He first checked the prince's pulse and induced vomiting.

Because he didn't know what kind of poison was in the prince, he didn't dare to use it indiscriminately.

Shen Rulan's father, Shen Chengzhong, who is currently the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, was also poisoned.

But compared to the crown prince, his situation is obviously much lighter.

Just because he is the master, he doesn't dare to drink too much wine, for fear that he will be negligent for a while and something will go wrong.

Whoever is afraid of something, will come.

He asked the doctor in the house, after being the first to induce vomiting for himself, regardless of his physical weakness, he insisted on supporting himself and his wife, and ordered people to thoroughly inspect the dishes, wine, and food at the banquet. He also ordered people to go to the hospital to move rescue soldiers and investigate the suspects in the house.

Although the screen in the hall has not been removed, anyone can feel the oppression in the air.

Xie Zhaolin was at the men's table, and for some reason, there were only slight signs of poisoning.

He was very worried about Wanyi, afraid that she would panic and be afraid. However, their side is strictly supervised, and except for those who are deeply poisoned, no one else can leave the table and move around.

Although he was worried about Wanyi, he had no choice but to prick up his ears and listen to the movement here.

Compared to that side, the discipline here is not so strict.

As long as you don't go out of the house, don't make loud noises, and move around as much as you want.

Shen Rulan was afraid that Wanyi would be frightened, so she handed over the little princess to her nurse to take care of.

came over to comfort Wanyi: "It's okay Du Er, our family is innocent, I believe that my father will find out the murderer soon." ”

Although she was smiling, Wanyi could see that she was squeezing out a smile.

She held her iron-like hand in her hand and warmed it, and comforted her in turn: "I believe in the character of the Shen family, don't worry, the matter will pass soon." ”

"Hmm." Shen Rulan's eyes finally turned red.

She hurriedly withdrew her hand, wiped her eyes quickly, and then turned her head to her grandmother.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wanyi entered the space.

Immediately went to the prince's table in the men's seat, took some wine and food, and asked Doctor Fang to help see what went wrong?

Doctor Fang examined them one by one, and then pointed to the wine glass and said: "There is floating grass added to it, and the floating herb is not toxic, but when it is added to the wine, it is poisonous." It is because the poisoned person will feel abdominal cramps, dizziness and brain distension. ”

Floating grass is a kind of grass that grows in dead pools, like aquatic grass, and it is generally difficult to find its traces.

"Then why is the prince's situation so much more serious than theirs?"

Most people can still survive, but only the prince is alone, and he has fallen into a coma.

Doctor Fang guessed: "The prince must have used blood bird's nest today, and that thing is also in conflict with the floating grass." In addition, the prince is used to being pampered, and he must have drunk a lot today. It's not uncommon for this poison to kill him. ”

Wanyi looked out of the space and heard someone saying that the prince had just vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and after vomiting, he fainted again.

Wanyi hurried out of the space. Because she is an idle person, she can't get close.

She followed Shen Rulan and leaned over to Dr. Shen, who was inspecting the items on the table.

She grabbed a wine glass, put it under her nose and sniffed it, and then shouted, "I know what was poisoned?" It's wine! Someone poisoned this wine! ”
