Chapter 235: A Sword of Arsenic
"I also noticed it, but unfortunately I can't tell why, probably because I miss my mother, I heard Father-in-law Su say that my mother was also wearing this dress in the past."
Nangong Mu stretched out her hand, held Ye Zhenzhen's warm and small hand, and said in a nostalgic tone.
Outside the palace gate, the carriage of the Xiaoyao Palace's palace stopped, and from a distance, I saw Shangguan leaning his neck and looking forward to it, with a thin layer of sweat soaked on his face.
"You can be regarded as coming out, has the emperor embarrassed you?"
Shangguan Yiyi trotted up to meet her, looking at Ye Zhenzhen with a worried face, and her tone was a little hurried.
"It's okay, it's basically solved."
Ye Zhenzhen showed a relieved smile and replied very calmly.
"Solved? What are you dressed today...... It's so beautiful, and it's really the strength of the great prince. ”
Shangguan Yiyi was a little confused by what Ye Zhenzhen said, but she paid special attention to her dress today, so she said to her ear with envy despite Nangong Mu still being present.
"Okay, I'll go to the palace with Yiyi first, and I'll go back later."
Today is really a Hongmen banquet, Princess Xiaoyao still doesn't know what to worry about, Ye Zhenzhen doesn't want them to worry too much, so she plans to return to the palace with Shangguan Yiyi.
Nangong Mu said a few words, and watched the carriage of the palace leave, and then left with his hands behind his back.
In the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor had just sat down, and Gonggong Gao immediately handed over a cup of tea and blew it for him intimately.
"Lao Gao, what do you think of today's events? Do you think I'm confused? ”
Looking at the unfazed father-in-law in front of him, the emperor was still interrogating with a calm and breezy look, and his eyes were full of looking.
"The emperor did this, it can be described as high! The old slave admired. ”
Gao Gonggong smiled and praised without hesitation, with a look of admiration on his face.
"Old thing, it's really your eyes that are the brightest, I have already made a decision on this matter, but today ......"
The emperor swallowed a big sip of tea, and then he stretched out his index finger with a wicked smile and said, only to see that he looked thoughtful, and stopped talking and talking.
"The county lord does have a bit of the demeanor of the Empress Xiaoyi, and the old slave almost looked away today, the eldest prince can move the first queen out, and he must be unwilling to back down."
The emperor's words were not said thoroughly, but Gonggong Gao naturally picked up.
If the emperor has any thoughts, then I'm afraid he understands this old thing.
In the past, the matter between Empress Xiaoyi and the emperor can be regarded as a good story, most of the people in the palace entered the palace later, and they only heard about the matter of Empress Xiaoyi, so they naturally didn't understand the emperor's thoughts.
"I really can't do anything, before she died, she held my hand, I hugged Mu'er and promised her that his marriage was chosen by himself, how could I do that kind of thing against my will."
The emperor gently put the tea cup on the table, frowned slightly, and his face was full of sadness, which was unavoidably moving.
"The emperor can be regarded as a man of his word, and now the eldest prince can be regarded as getting what he wants, according to the old slave, the county lord of Ning'an is also a clever man, and Gonggong Su gave her the jade pendant, which is already an irreversible fact."
Seeing that he was a little sad, Gonggong Gao hurriedly opened his mouth to be relieved, and he said that he had done his best.
Xiaoyao Palace, the lacquered red pillar in the palace is not as dazzling as Ye Zhenzhen's body today, I saw that from the beginning of her entry, she attracted the attention of the surrounding minions.
"Look, I said you look good today, even those girls look straight."
Shangguan Yiyi walked beside Ye Zhenzhen, laughing as if joking.
"You're back, it's really worrying the palace, and now I'm relieved to see you come back safely."
Ye Zhenzhen stepped forward from afar, and Princess Xiaoyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, holding her hand and saying very lovingly.
"It's really Zhenzhen's fault for worrying my stepmother."
Ye Zhenzhen saw that she was like the second Bai Clan, and her heart couldn't help but warm, and she hurriedly made amends.
"You're ...... It's something from Queen Xiaoyi, I've seen her wear it before, but it's a pity that she's ...... so young."
is not as surprised as others, Princess Xiaoyao is very familiar with Ye Zhenzhen's dress, and she also looks nostalgic for the past.
When Ye Zhenzhen heard this, she smiled slightly, and she didn't need to listen to it to know that she was lamenting the shame of Queen Xiaoyi.
Together with Shangguan Yiyi, Ye Zhenzhen told Princess Xiaoyao about today's events word for word, and went back to her house while it was not too late.
"Miss, why are you only coming back now, my uncle has been back for a long time, and he is in the house now."
Qingju was in the courtyard, and as soon as she saw Ye Zhenzhen, she hurriedly pulled her to the bedroom, looking very hurried.
"What uncle! Don't talk nonsense. ”
As soon as Ye Zhenzhen heard her words, she suddenly looked like a hedgehog, staring at her eyes and correcting that yesterday's and today's events were not all for others to see.
"Okay, let's go in, Miss."
Qingju stretched out her tongue mischievously, and gently pushed behind Ye Zhenzhen, and Ye Zhenzhen entered the house.
I saw red candles everywhere, the curtains and curtains were drawn, the room was dark and unknown, and the red candle flame was shaking slightly, lining this place was very mysterious.
"What is this?"
Ye Zhenzhen walked around the room, but she didn't see Nangong Mu herself, and suddenly had a little temper, only to see her say to the air in an unkind tone.
"I should also make up for the candle night in the cave room."
At this moment, Nangong Mu came out of nowhere, holding a handful of flowers in his hand, and replied in a very soft tone.
With such an atmosphere, Ye Zhenzhen was unconsciously in a trance, looking at Nangong Mu in front of her who was dignified and full of love, she didn't know what to say to alleviate it.
"Are you hungry, I asked Qingju to prepare something to eat, use it first, these are all dishes of Fanxing Restaurant, it should suit your taste."
Ye Zhenzhen lowered her head and didn't speak, the golden hairpin on her head emitted a dim light, and Nangong Mu hurriedly changed the topic to make her feel better.
Ye Zhenzhen sighed, and then remembered that she hadn't eaten anything for a day, and she was already hungry.
Moving to the table and gathering the candles together, she picked up her chopsticks without hesitation and started to move towards the steaming eggplant.
"Why don't you use some in the Pleasure Palace?"
Nangong Mu saw that she was so hungry that she didn't even want to speak, so she chuckled out angrily, and asked very gently.
"It's too late, the princess and Yiyi asked vigorously, and they didn't care."
When Ye Zhenzhen heard this, she sighed silently, how could she have a mouth to eat!
As soon as the fried eggplant was handed to her mouth, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly froze, this is not the taste of cooking wine, the roasted eggplant in Fanxing Restaurant is a secret recipe prepared by her personally, and there should be a faint sour smell when it smells, why can't you smell this at all.
"Don't eat it!"
Ye Zhenzhen threw down the chopsticks without thinking about it, and snatched a pair of chopsticks from Nangong Mu's hand.
Because her identity is not very noble, she uses wooden chopsticks in her house, and she doesn't use silver chopsticks at all, so she can't see anything.
"What's going on?"
Ye Zhenzhen just looked hungry and couldn't lift her spirits, so she snatched the chopsticks coldly, and Nangong Mu frowned at that time, and asked with some doubts.
"It doesn't taste right."
Ye Zhenzhen is not making a big fuss, but she is too familiar with the taste of these foods that she is used to, although there is no problem with the method, but there is a problem.
"Han Wei! Take it down and check it out! ”
Nangong Mu immediately shouted towards the door, Han Wei rushed in without saying a word, and took the dishes in front of the two of them, and checked them one by one in private.
Not surprisingly, all the silver needles changed color, and looking at the rows of silver needles on the table, Nangong Mu's face also darkened.
"Your Highness, arsenic."
Han Wei glanced at the faces of the two of them, and then answered.
Her stomach grunted, but Ye Zhenzhen was in no mood to eat, only to see that she was even colder than Nangong Mu, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
"These are all things that I asked Gao Wei to go to Fanxing to get back, and they have just been made for a quarter of an hour or more, and they are all in the house during this time, when did they let people do it."
Nangong Mu is like a child who has done something wrong at the moment, he only thinks about taking care of Ye Zhenzhen, but he doesn't even know when he was trapped, and he almost caused a big disaster.
"On the house, on the road, the people who come into contact with the stars, and the people in the kitchen, it is possible."
Ye Zhenzhen had a dangerous glint in her eyes, but she didn't care much about who did it, and she didn't care about this arsenic.
As soon as she thought that there might be an inner ghost, her mood fell to the bottom.
In ancient times, there was nothing to be afraid of, but the human heart was the most difficult to grasp, and now it is the most important thing to find out who poisoned people.
In case it is a person from Fanxing Restaurant, then the next person to be poisoned may be someone else in the court, some officials or ordinary people died of poisoning in Fanxing, and her painstaking design and management are all in vain.
"Check, if you have touched it, you are not allowed to let go of any of them, these plates, as well as food boxes, all take them to check."
Nangong Mu stared at the dishes on the table with great displeasure, and his tone was full of gunpowder.
The mood of the two is even more indescribable at the moment, I thought that today would be very romantic, but I didn't know that I almost killed someone.
"Investigate secretly, don't be so blatant, we offended a lot of people today, Guifei, Nangong Lei, Princess Yunmeng and his party, as well as Jiang Rouer and Nangong Hui, don't startle the snake."
Han Wei was about to leave, but Ye Zhenzhen opened her mouth at the right time, her tone was very cold, and she couldn't hear any emotion, but she said the truth.
She wants to arrest people, but she can't do it without evidence, in case she startles the snake, it will be unfavorable to the current situation, so she can only work hard behind her back.
"Yes."
Han Wei got Nangong Mu's signal, so he took the things on the table, and ordered Qingju to start the small kitchen, prepare some simple food for the two of them, and ushered in the night.
The autumn wind gusted, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard rustled, but the thoughts of both of them seemed to be swept away by the wind.
