"Oh?" Qin Cao said in a slightly questioning tone, "Tell me how to detoxify?" ”

"This poison is called eight intestine grass, and my daughter-in-law needs to check the poisoned person to know which eight herbs it is." Cheng Ge said seriously, "But the most important thing now is to find out who brought this poison into the villa, and what is the purpose?" ”

Qin Cao nodded thoughtfully, and said after a moment, "This matter will be handled by you and Lu Yuanzheng, and I and the other adults will entrust your lives to you." ”

This was said extremely seriously, and Cheng Ge suddenly felt pressured. Before she could speak, Lu Changting knelt on the ground and said, "The little minister will definitely live up to the emperor's trust." Helpless, Cheng Ge could only agree.

When he left the study, Lu Changting also came out together. Seeing Cheng Ge frowning, he couldn't help but comfort, "Even if the princess doesn't want to take it, this matter has to be yours, didn't you see that the prince didn't raise any objections?" ”

Cheng Ge thought about it for a moment and figured it out, this kind of thing is not something that can be done in a small courtyard. As a meritorious Chengge in Chengzhou, she is a relative of the emperor after all, even if there is really any transgression, ordinary people dare not squeak.

But where should this matter begin?

"Why don't we go see the patient first." Cheng Ge suggested that perhaps from their mouths, they could look for some commonalities and find some clues.

Lu Changting naturally agreed, so the two went to the first patient who fell ill. The first patient to develop the disease was Zhang Ziling, who had been friends with Cheng Ge before, and she was completely different from the daytime at this time, lying on the bed sickly, with almost no blood on her face.

"Ziling?" Cheng Ge was surprised, she didn't expect that Zhang Ziling, who was physically strong, was the first to be recruited.

"Princess?" Zhang Ziling didn't expect to see her here, but her body was uncomfortable, and she had almost no strength to support her body, "I really can't get up, what's wrong with me?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Cheng Ge patted the back of her hand and comforted, "You'll be fine soon, don't worry." ”

After saying that, he took her pulse, and it didn't seem serious. After Cheng Ge carefully inquired about the separation, what she ate and touched, she had some judgments in her heart.

After comforting them, Cheng Ge and Lu Changting continued to treat the patients, they seemed to have passed through a certain place, but now they are not sure if it is because of this place.

Cheng Ge and Lu Changting analyzed it, and finally reached an agreement on the medicinal materials, in order to avoid suspicion, Cheng Ge did not directly take out the antidote pill, but asked the palace maids in the villa to boil the medicine together and distribute it to the poisoned people, while the two of them went to find the source of the poison.

All the poisoned people passed through the villa's garden on their way back to the lodge, but the terrain there was difficult to pinpoint where they were poisoned. However, since the emperor had given the task to the two of them, they could only go to the garden of the villa to take a closer look.

The two took advantage of the fact that it was still early and hurried to the garden.

Xu is because there are many people who have been poisoned, and there are almost no people in the garden, only the palace maids and eunuchs occasionally pass by. When he came to the garden, Cheng Ge suddenly remembered the conversation he had overheard before, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with it.

"Does the princess have any ideas?" Lu Changting looked at Cheng Ge's thinking and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Cheng Ge shook her head, how could she tell the situation at that time, "Let's hurry around and see if there is anything wrong." With that, Cheng Ge began a carpet search. Seeing this, Lu Changting also followed her example and began to look around.

However, the garden of the villa was huge, and it was impossible to search it for a while, and the two of them checked it for a long time, but they did not find anything unusual.

"You can't keep it like this, can you?" Cheng Ge muttered, this efficiency is too low, and the murderer has already escaped before he finds anything unusual, "Let's let the palace maids and eunuchs help us find it, they don't dare to deceive them." ”

Just do it, Cheng Ge called Qu Ji and asked him to gather all the palace maids and eunuchs who were in charge of the garden on weekdays, and supervise each other in pairs.

Cheng Ge and Lu Changting sat in the pavilion drinking tea, discussing what to do next. Just as the two of them were talking, one of the palace maids of one group ran over and hurriedly saluted.

"Princess Qiyu, the slaves just discovered this, I don't know what it is." One of the palace maids handed over a medicine bag, and Cheng Ge hurriedly opened it to check, it was indeed an eight-intestine grass.

"Where did you find it?" Cheng Ge hurriedly asked, and stood up eagerly.

"The slave will show you the way." The palace maid said respectfully, seeing Cheng Ge nodding, she hurriedly turned around and walked with Cheng Ge to the location where she had just found the medicine bag.

This location is a rather hidden corner of the rockery, and it is absolutely impossible to find unless you look closely. And this location is a dead end, it seems that someone who is very familiar with the mountain villa. In this way, the scope has been narrowed down to a large extent.

These people are not deeply poisoned, and it seems that they have not eaten much.

Cheng Ge looked carefully around the area, and suddenly saw a silk thread hanging from his clothes on a protruding stone. Looking at the material of the clothes, it must not be an ordinary palace maid or eunuch.

At this moment, a little eunuch ran over, his face was covered with beads of sweat, and it seemed that he had run a long distance. ran in front of Cheng Ge and saluted respectfully, "Princess, the murderer has been found." ”

What the? Cheng Ge and Lu Changting looked at each other, the two of them had just found the medicine bag, and they had already found the murderer?

"Princess, Lu Yuanzheng, the emperor is invited." After speaking, the little eunuch ignored the looks of the two of them, turned around and was about to leave. Cheng Ge suddenly found that the little eunuch's sleeve seemed to be threaded. Cheng Ge's eyes widened, and he looked at the silk thread on his hand again, which seemed to be of the same material.

Cheng Ge gave Lu Changting a look, and Lu Changting nodded in understanding. The two followed behind the little eunuch, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, kicked him down, and the guards next to him grabbed him.

But before the two could speak, the little eunuch crushed his back molars, a stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground and died.

Cheng Ge was frightened by the scene in front of him and retreated again and again. Although I had seen life and death before, I was still frightened when I saw someone die in front of me for the first time. It seems that he is just instructed by someone, and if he wants to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, it will still take a lot of effort.

"Don't be afraid, princess." Lu Changting suddenly stood in front of Cheng Ge and blocked the scene, "It's just a little eunuch, the princess doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Cheng Ge sighed, she is from a socialist country, it is impossible to despise the life of the eunuch and palace maid like them, "I'm fine, this is the person behind him, I'm afraid I'm already alert, if I want to catch it again, I'm afraid it's not easy to catch it." ”

Lu Changting naturally understood, but there was no clue at present, so he could only return to the emperor first.
