Although I kept myself awake all night, I finally slept until the third day of the day, lifted the curtain, and slowly got out of bed, and my body did not feel relaxed because of sleeping more, but more tired. Ju Xiang brought the medicine up, and when I saw her annoyed look, I knew that I must have missed any clues.

Ju Xiang said: "The slave maid has been guarding outside early this morning, and the medicine is Ning Xiang has been watching the frying, and no one else is approaching, let alone putting medicine into the medicine jar." ”

I couldn't help frowning, although Ning Xiang was not the person who served in the room, but she was also an old man who followed me, I knew her character very well, and she would never do such a vicious thing to me, and her heart suddenly became suspicious, staring at Ju Xiang intently, Ju Xiang hurriedly said: "The slave is very careful, at that time, the slave and the maid were taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard, just like in the past, and did not show half of the traces." ”

I thought about it for a while and said: "I know Ning Xiang's temperament, she has followed me for so long, and she is diligent in her actions, it can never be her." ”

Ju Xiang said: "The slave maid also thinks so, although Ning Xiang is not serving in the room, but she has always chatted with the slave and maid, and she is a very good person." ”

I said: "That's why I don't want her in the room, because there needs to be someone like her outside to check for me," I looked at Juxiang, "You and Ning Xiang, one is in the house, and the other is outside, so I can be completely at ease." ”

Ju Xiang said: "Do you want the second lady to tell Ning Xiang about this matter and tell her to pay attention?" ”

I waved my hand and said: "No, the less people know about this matter, the better, otherwise it is really easy to startle the snake, no matter how unintentional you pretend, in fact, in the eyes of that person, you will feel deliberate, because she is in the dark, we are in the light, she is a little more suspicious of what people see." ”

I picked up the medicine bowl and looked at it carefully, the color was still not right, I guess I didn't need to taste it, I was annoyed for a while, and I rested for a long time before I suppressed my voice and said: "What a cunning guy, she still asked her to be drugged, and there was no leakage of any flaws." ”

Ju Xiang knelt on the ground and said, "Second Miss," and said with a raised eyebrow, "It must be the slave who is negligent." ”

As I called her up, I said, "I can't blame you entirely, for there must be something strange here to do things under your nose without being discovered." ”

Ju Xiang said: "What about this medicine?" ”

I pointed to the spring flowers outside and said, "Take it and water the flowers." ”

Ju Xiang looked out the window and replied with a smile: "Yes." She hurried to the meeting, and when she came back I asked, "Haven't you been seen?" ”

Ju Xiang shook her head and said, "Naturally, no." ”

I held my forehead, thought for a while, and suddenly said to Ju Xiang: "You go and bring the medicine jar to me to see." ”

Juxiang nodded and went out.

I stared at the Lichun flowers outside the window in a daze, one by one beautiful and light, the posture is beautiful, curling and graceful, the petals are thin like silk, smooth like silk, the corolla is light and bright like a brocade, because of the wind flying, like a colorful butterfly spreading its wings, quite inspiring reverie.

Ju Xiang came back soon, holding the purple sand medicine jar for me decoction in her hand, handed it over and said, "What does the second lady want this for?" ”

I took it and flipped it left and right a few times, and said: "You are also one of the most clever maids in the Yunnan Palace, you should be right, but if someone didn't take the medicine himself, then he could only do something on these Laoshzi." ”

Ju Xiang asked, "How did the second young lady come up with this?" ”

I smiled and said, "When I was in the Taifu Mansion before, I saw the housewife in the mansion use this kind of trick, "Ju Xiang" ah", I looked at her, "But she just doesn't want to see me, so she will put some sweat medicine on her head there from time to time, but it's not so vicious." ”

The purple sand medicine jar produced in Yixing is immortal, a thousand-year-old immortal thing, compatible with water and fire, not afraid of corrosion, suitable for both cold and warm, and not picked. The rounded shape between the square inches is yellow and purple, and a few sentences are clearly engraved in regular script on the crown: after the embryo is quenched, the handle is magnificent. It looks like mud is bone, and the sound of gold and jade is knocked.

I flipped the lid and looked carefully at the daylight, and didn't find anything wrong, I put the medicine jar on the table, frowning and thinking that Xu was using my brain in the wrong place, but it happened that I was sleepy again, and I was very angry for a while, and I suddenly raised my hand and accidentally knocked over the lid that was covered on the medicine jar, and it fell on the rice paper, and it bounced on the ground with the force, and it was broken all over the ground with a "bang" sound.

As soon as I wanted to speak, I saw that the rice paper was smashed everywhere on the ground with jet-black medicinal powder, I immediately picked up the rice paper and examined it carefully, and a strong smell of herbs came to my nose, which was disgusting.

I asked Ju Xiang, "Do you see the reason?" ”

Ju Xiang replied while cleaning up the fragments of the lid of the medicine jar: "If you still can't understand this, then the slave maid has really stayed in the Yunnan palace for so many years. ”

After Ju Xiang cleaned up, she gently took a piece of debris on the tray, looked at it, and said, "The mechanism in this lid is really exquisite," smiled, and said to me, "As long as the second lady's medicinal soup boils, it will melt the herbs hidden in it, and make small holes like needles on the lid, and the medicine will be mixed in the second lady's original decoction without anyone knowing, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find the mystery in it." ”

I sneered: "I have a lot of knowledge now, such a delicate effort, no wonder we can't find the person who drugged it, and we can't find clues, it turns out that it has been prepared a long time ago." ”

I thought about it for a moment and asked Ju Xiang, "This medicine jar is the one you bought recently?" ”

Ju Xiang bowed her head and said: "Yes, the one that the slave maid originally bought was damaged by Wang Ren'er, so she asked the little maid to help me buy this one again." ”

I said "um" and asked Juxiang, "Do you remember the appearance of that little guy?" ”

Ju Xiang frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I can roughly remember." ”

I nodded and said, "You put the medicine jar back in its place, temporarily cage the old lid on it for the time being, and then go to Ming Shizi, tell him about it, and ask him to help me inquire about the origin of that little guy." ”

Ju Xiang hurriedly responded and quickly withdrew.

About three or four hours later, Ju Xiang came back and reported: "That little guy is called Yanzhu, and he was originally doing chores outside the king of Yunnan, and then he was assigned to stay everywhere for a while, and none of them could stay long. also followed the Fuzhong team for a period of time, and was kicked out because of stealing, but fortunately, the ancestors in his family were loyal to the king of Yunnan, so they only sent him to see the mansion, so as not to be driven out of the mansion and have nothing to do. In fact, there is no one in the house who has crossed paths with him who does not hate him. ”

I said, "In that case, why didn't anyone teach him a lesson?" ”

Ju Xiang said: "Everyone is thinking, do your own thing, more is better than less." ”

I nodded, and said, "Go and borrow a few people from Ming Shizi and drag that pillar of smoke over to me," said in a cold tone, "Let me be the first to give him some color and see." ”

Ju Xiang bowed her head and hurried down.
