"Leave for a while," Zhou Song said, "Xia Yuchu, who used to work with the minions, came to find the minions, he borrowed some silver from the minions before, and specially came to return them, and the minions left for a while." ”

"However, the Xia Imperial Chef originally agreed with the minions to return it after three months, but now it is only half a month, so he scraped together the silver to ......"

At this point, Zhou Song did not continue to speak.

Although it was not explained, Su Xi already knew that things were very strange.

She said to the ears of wheat, "Go and bring me the needles." ”

"Slave and maid, go now!" Mai Sui also reacted to something, turned around and left in a hurry.

Soon, ears of wheat came with silver needles.

This silver needle was specially prepared by the master when she first entered the palace for fear that someone would poison her food.

At that time, the master took it with him wherever he went, so that he could test drugs at any time.

The concubines also knew that the master was very guarded, so they didn't dare to openly poison him.

Now I have my mind directly aimed at the small kitchen of Qingle Palace, so insidious!

Su Xi took the silver needle and plunged it into a piece of meat, and after a while, she pulled the needle out.

At a glance, the silver needle did not change.

However, if you look closely, you will notice that the part that has not entered the meat has changed color slightly.

It's just not too obvious, and if you don't distinguish it carefully, it's really hard to tell the difference.

"Niangniang, how is it, is the meat poisonous?"

Mai Sui's brow furrowed.

"Yes, yes, but it shouldn't be a deadly poison...."Su Xi put away the silver needle.

"It's not fatal, it's harmful, right?!" The cold sweat of the wheat ears came out, but fortunately Zhou Song found something unusual, otherwise this venison would have been eaten!

"The guards in Qingle Palace are very strict, and the small kitchen is even more strictly guarded, except for the grain and the Zhou imperial kitchen, as well as the slaves and maids, no one can enter."

Su Xi said to Mai Sui: "Today, the concubines of the harem came over early in the morning to make trouble, you and Gu Li went to the dormitory to deal with it, and Zhou Yuchu was also called out.....

She hooked her lips and smiled: "How can it be such a coincidence?" ”

"Niangniang, why don't you call everyone in Qingle Palace and ask them if they have seen anyone who has been to the kitchen?"

Mai Sui looked solemn.

It is absolutely necessary to find out who that person is, and you can't let it go easily!

Su Xi nodded in response.

Mai Sui was very efficient, and she soon called everyone in the palace to the courtyard.

But after some cross-examination, everything was asked.

"Mother, I didn't see anyone coming here."

Ears of wheat hung their heads in frustration.

"I invited people from the palace to come and go to perform their duties, and they are not here on errands, so it's normal if you don't see it." Su Xi said softly.

"Then you can't find out who did it?!" Mai Sui was very worried, and if she couldn't find the person, the danger would always be there.

"That's not necessarily," Su Xi turned to look at Zhou Song, "That Xia Imperial Chef, if you don't come early or late, you will come today, what do you think?" ”

"The deadline for the slave to borrow his silver is March, and it has only been half a month, and the slave also feels strange....." Zhou Song arched his hand.

"I want to see him," Su Xi straightened up, "Mai Sui, go to the imperial dining room and invite Imperial Chef Xia over, just say that Imperial Chef Zhou has something to look for him, but he can't get out of the way, please invite him to Qingle Palace." ”

If she wanted to see him, he would be suspicious and wouldn't come.

But Zhou Song had a friendship with him, saying that Zhou Song wanted to see him, and he would definitely come to visit.

Mai Sui didn't dare to slack off, and then went to the imperial dining room.
