Seeing Mu Hanchi open his arms with a smile on his face, Zhao Youling's feet paused suddenly when he was about to get closer. A voice in her head reminded her: Girls should be reserved, you didn't come here to marry and have children, the Book of Heaven will guide you......

"Ling'er," Mu Hanchi came up and grabbed Zhao Youling's strange eyes and asked, "Why are you suddenly stunned?" ”

"Brother Mu, I have something to tell you, let's go into the house and talk about it."

Zhao Youling suppressed her surging mood and said seriously.

It was the first time she had been to Mu Hanchi's study, and after entering the door, she looked around, and her eyes were immediately attracted by a short scabbard on the bookshelf.

"Is it the knife in this scabbard?"

Zhao Youling did not say it explicitly, and Mu Hanchi knew that she was referring to the knife found in Dali Temple at the scene of the murder.

Mu Hanchi nodded, he wanted to mention the case of Dali Temple after listening to Zhao Youling's affairs first.

"The scabbard is in the knife but it is gone, and sure enough, as Mrs. Shen said, the inner ghosts in the Huaiwang Mansion are more dangerous."

"There are ghosts in the house, I will find out as soon as possible. Tell me what you have to tell me. ”

Mu Han helped Zhao Youling to sit on his chair, and he stood at the desk with a serious look.

"Could it be that my aunt's poisoning is also related to the inner ghost?"

After listening to Zhao Youling's words, Mu Hanchi was taken aback. In front of Zhao Youling, he doesn't need to pretend to be calm, it is a matter of life and death for his relatives, and he can't help but pay special attention to it.

"My aunt may have swollen and sore gums caused by food poisoning, which is not necessarily someone deliberately poisoned, for example, some fish will be poisoned if they are not handled well and eat a few bites. You can ask the cooks about this, it's not good for me to ask the people in the house to ask me about it......"

Zhao Youling looked very embarrassed.

A few days after she married into the Huaiwang Mansion, Mrs. Gao had not let her participate in the affairs of the mansion. She didn't want to confront the servants in the house. Whether or not she can ask about Mrs. Gao's food poisoning incident, it will make the servants think that she wants to be in the mansion.

Mu Hanchi immediately called Murray and asked him to go to the back kitchen to find out what ingredients the cooks had processed today, whether they had made fish, and whether they had been passed by other people's hands when they were given to Mrs. Gao for dinner.

Murray soon came back to report that Mrs. Gao was infected with wind and cold and had a bad appetite, and she did not eat the rice last night, and at breakfast today, Xiangxiu specially asked the kitchen to prepare fish porridge for Mrs. Gao, and Mrs. Gao began to have a toothache soon after drinking the porridge.

"I've got all the ingredients for making minced fish, do I want to find a doctor to test it?"

Murray was holding a cloth bag, and the mouth of the cloth bag exuded a faint fishy smell.

"You don't have to go outside to find a doctor, just show me."

Zhao Youling took the cloth bag and sat at the table, took out the ingredients and sniffed them under his nose, and then moved to his eyes to look carefully.

"What else does the prince command?"

Murray clenched his fists and prepared to leave.

"You go to the Shengji Pharmacy on Donglaishun Street and take a look, go back quickly."

Mu Han raised his chin lately, Murray answered, and the person was already outside.

Zhao Youling put down a small piece of dried fish in his hand and asked Mu Hanchi strangely why he asked Murray to go to the pharmacy.

"Can't you trust my judgment?"

Zhao Youling's clear eyes stared at Mu Hanchi, and he had to ask him to give her an explanation. You can't say one thing and do another, obviously she has already said that she can judge the toxicity of ingredients, Mu Hanchi has to ask Murray to go to the pharmacy outside.

"Don't get me wrong, Ling'er, I asked Murray to go to the pharmacy for something else. I'm about to talk to you......"

On the way to Huai Wang's Mansion, Shen Zhao found that there were people from the Pingjin Hou Mansion in the Shengji Pharmacy on Donglaishun Street, and those people were suspicious, and Shen Zhao was worried that the people from the Pingjin Hou Mansion were going to commit demons again. Let Murray take a look for peace of mind, Shen Zhao's goal is too big to go alone.

"No wonder when Shen Zhao and I came over, he looked at a shop on the street and looked curious, it turned out that he was worried that the people from the Pingjin Marquis Mansion would do bad things. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Pingjin Marquis Mansion, Shen Zhao also disguised himself as a coachman, which was really difficult for him.

The people of the Pingjin Marquis Mansion are also annoying, if they are bad people, why not arrest them and deal with them? You and Shen Zhao were wrongfully murdered, and the Marquis of Pingjin was behind the scenes, and I heard him reprimand and interrogate your official master in Dali Temple that night. Why would he harm you and Shen Zhao? and you have not sinned against them. ”

Zhao Youling was indignant, put down the small dried fish in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and couldn't wait to fight with the people of the Pingjin Marquis Mansion at this time.

Mu Han couldn't cry or laugh, only to find out that his bride was a "combative and righteous woman".

"How's it going, did you find the ingredients poisonous?"

Mu Hanchi picked up the small dried fish on the table and flicked it lightly on his fingertips, with a thoughtful expression.

"None of these ingredients are poisonous. However, fresh fish should be used to make fish porridge, I don't know why the chef wants to use small dried fish to grind to make porridge, so that the taste of the porridge should be more chai and not as delicious as fresh fish paste. ”

Zhao Youling took out a piece of dried fish from the cloth bag and said "Huh".

"This dried fish is poisonous, you see that there are black lines on its belly, if this black line melts into the porridge water, if people eat it, it will be slightly poisoned, but the toxicity of this fish is not strong, healthy people will only feel numb in the mouth when poisoned, and it will automatically detoxify after an hour or two.

It is estimated that my aunt is weak with a cold, and the poison attack is much worse after drinking two more sips of porridge. But no matter how you say it, this kind of poison will not kill people, it will only make people have an unbearable toothache and can't do things normally. ”

Being able to find out the reason for Mrs. Gao's poisoning, Zhao Youling seemed very excited. Immediately, his mood calmed down, and he guessed with Mu Hanchi who the ghost in the house would be.

"Could it be Xiangxiu? She lives in Lingyun Pavilion. ”

"Xiangxiu?"

Xiangxiu did go to his Lingyun Pavilion twice, and when he returned home from the north, Xiangxiu had to wait for him in bed on the night, and he invited him out. In the second room of the newlywed, he was reading and writing in Lingyun Pavilion, and Xiangxiu came in to bring her refreshments, and he also sent them out. Could it be that Xiangxiu stole his short knife at that time?

When he returned to Beijing from the north, he was overwhelmed by the emperor's marriage, and the second marriage led to a murder, and Mu Hanchi couldn't remember when his short knife was gone. Judging from the time when Dali Temple found his short knife at the scene of the murder, he should have talked to his father in Youyuan at that time.

Mu Hanchi shook his head, he didn't want to believe that it was Xiangxiu who stole his short knife. 、

Twelve years ago, Xiangxiu followed Mrs. Gao in the Huaiwang Mansion, and she was Mrs. Gao's most trusted maid.

"She only went to the Lingyun Pavilion ear room to rest at night, and she worked in her aunt's room on weekdays. She shouldn't frame me. To say that she is not the only maid who lives in Lingyun Pavilion, the four little maids who marry with you all live in the east wing of Lingyun Pavilion. ”

"Well, if you don't think it's going to be her, it's not going to be her. However, Mrs. Shen said that if the inner ghost is not found out and eliminated, the Huaiwang Mansion will not want to be peaceful. Something even more terrible could happen in the future......"

Zhao Youling was talking, there was a cooing sound outside the window, and a white-feathered carrier pigeon entered through the window and landed on the desk with fluttering wings.
