The little mouse in the wooden cage became more and more manic, and after a moment it convulsed and died.

Under the not-so-bright candle flame, the little mouse's mouth was still bloody, and his small, black eyes were round and round, with a strange dead air, very terrifying.

Several grandmothers on the side were half frightened to death when they saw this, especially the one who took the vegetables and rice, who was already sitting on the ground.

Even a fool can tell that the food is poisonous.

Wei Yining was not surprised, and looked at the leading grandmother with clear eyes and said, "I want to see Manager Qu." ”

Qu Qing heard about this and hurriedly rushed over, this Wei Yining didn't wait for the interrogation to come out of this matter, it was really suspenseful.

"Miss Wei, this ......" Qu Qing looked at the dead mouse and said a little apologetically: "Don't be afraid, everything you eat and drink in the future must be carefully checked, and there will never be such a thing again." ”

"Thank you." Wei Yining had a shallow smile on his face, and Qu Qing secretly thought in his heart that this girl could really calm down.

Qu Qing left from here and took away the grandmothers, along with the eunuchs and the food delivery people, and they had to find out who poisoned Wei Yining.

Another night passed, and the emperor invited Queen Xu Guifei and others to Runzhi Palace, and called Wei Yining and others over.

Concubine Zeng Li has been begging for trivial matters, but the emperor did not agree, so she had no choice but to do so.

The queen has been unable to sleep for two days because Wei Yining has been locked up, and Wei Yining's suspicion has not been ruled out for a day, which means that the suspicion that she is the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be ruled out.

But because the emperor did not move, she had no way to stand up and explain the difference, for fear of creating a situation that wanted to cover up.

Therefore, I came today, but I didn't ask a word or look at it.

Xu Guifei had a cough in the past two days, and covered her mouth with a brocade from time to time.

She didn't know what Xu Zhixi was doing, she just wanted to watch the fire from the other side and be a person watching the show.

In addition, Chen Shufei is also there.

"I don't need to say anything more about what I called you here today," the emperor finally spoke: "To make things clear today is also to set an example." ”

Qu Qing brought Wei Yining up, the gods originally thought that she had been locked up for two days, she must be frightened and frightened, and it would be difficult to sleep and eat, but who knew that Wei Yining was still full of energy as usual, and her complexion was ruddy.

Seeing everyone's generous greetings, he looked like he had a clear conscience.

"Qu Qing, you ask." The emperor spoke: "Ask from the beginning. ”

Qu Qing hurriedly agreed, turned to Wei Yining and asked, "Miss Wei, dare to ask if you gave this magnolia purse to Concubine Li?" ”

"Yes." Wei Yining looked at the purse in the tray and nodded.

"So you put the musk in this mezzanine?" Qu Qing asked again.

"It's not." Wei Yining replied simply and firmly.

"How do you prove you didn't put it?" Qu Qing asked.

Wei Yining couldn't help but laugh, and asked rhetorically: "Does Manager Qu have conclusive evidence to prove that I put it in?" ”

Seeing her like this, the queen couldn't help but sweat twice, and said in her heart that she couldn't see when she could still laugh.

"It's not interesting for Miss Wei to say that," Qu Qing looked at her with some embarrassment, "Asking so much over and over again, when will you be able to figure things out?" ”

"Your Majesty, Queen, ladies and gentlemen, the reason why you called me the first one is because I gave me this purse," Wei Yining said with a straight face: "But I don't have the courage to put musk in my purse." Because no matter how stupid I am, I know that sooner or later this thing will break, and once it is revealed, I will die without a place to bury. ”

"That being said, it's not absolutely impossible for you to take a risk." The emperor spoke: "Maybe it's because most people think this way that you have to do the opposite." ”

"Of course what Your Majesty said is reasonable," Wei Yining did not have the slightest panic in the face of the emperor: "Yining dares to open this purse and take a look, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

"Okay, you dismantle." The emperor has nothing to disagree with.

Wei Yining took the purse and looked at it over and over again. Then he untied a purse from his body, turned it over and said: "I use a chain thread when sewing a purse, please see, the special feature of this stitch is that as long as you find the last stitch, pull up the thread and gently pull it, the whole purse will be opened, and the thread will not be broken." But if it weren't for the last needle, it wouldn't have had that effect. ”

After speaking, she used her purse as a demonstration, and sure enough, with a slight pull, the purse was all opened.

Then she picked up the one given to Concubine Zeng Li and said, "I also sewed this purse with chain threads, but someone later forcibly opened it from the middle and sewed it again." ”

In order to let everyone see more clearly, Wei Yining said to Qu Qing: "Manager Qu, please bring me some incense powder." ”

The lining of this purse is dark, and the white incense powder is evenly spread on it, and then shaken off, there will be incense powder residue at the eye of the needle, so that the stitches of the needle will be clearly visible.

"Please take a look, this is obviously a trace of two times of needlework." Wei Yining put the purse back on the tray, and Qu Qing held it up to show the masters.

As long as you look closely, you can see very clearly, most of the stitches of the lotus bud are even, obviously from the hand of one person, and when you reach the other side, there is obviously an extra stitch.

"If I were the one who put the musk, I wouldn't have sewn it up and open it again, which would not only be too much, but would also make the thread of the purse unstrong and easy to crack." Wei Yining's tone was calm, without the slightest indignation of being wronged to defend himself.

Xu Guifei looked at Wei Yining coldly, this girl is really smart at a young age, and she is calm and calm, and has the demeanor of a general, such a person is the most difficult to deal with.

"Does this purse still pass through someone else's hands?" The queen turned her head and asked Concubine Zeng Li, Wei Yining's words made her completely relieved, and she wanted to catch the real murderer even more.

"The maids are in charge of all my clothes, and I don't know much about them." Concubine Zeng Li said without any scheming.

"Then let them talk," the emperor said, "ask them one by one!" ”

"The slave maid remembers that this purse was once sent to the Huan Wash Bureau to be washed," said a second-class palace maid, "about the beginning of last month." ”

"Go to the Huanxi Bureau and ask." The emperor said: "Don't check it out!" ”

"Your Majesty, someone poisoned Miss Wei yesterday," Qu Qing stepped forward to ask for instructions: "The slave has already identified the person who poisoned her." ”

"There's still such a thing?!" The queen was surprised: "Who did this?!" ”

When Xu Guifei on the side heard this, she couldn't help but jump her eyelids, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.
