Chapter 285: Strange Poisoning (2)
"Sister Mingzhu," Ruyi's voice was trembling, and she was about to cry, "You should think of a way, sister looks so dangerous, in case she has something to do, the master blames it, you and I ......"
"Don't panic first," Mingzhu said, "I have already sealed a few of her acupoints, and I won't worry about my life for the time being." ”
Ruyi is a little relieved.
"Sister Mingzhu, it's really weird, I can't figure it out, how did the poisoner get it?"
Mingzhu pondered for a moment and said, "What ingredients are used for dinner tonight?"
Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Mingzhu, my sister's meal is cooked separately, you know this." Lunch was a three-course meal of pigeon, eggplant, peanuts and, by the way, a flatfish caught from the river......"
"Flatfish? What kind of fish is that? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
"Sister Mingzhu, as the name suggests, is a fish shaped like a flat fish, the color is reddish, it is a very rare kind of fish, it is usually hard to find, and it may not be able to eat it if you have silver. Three years ago, I went to Suizhou by boat with my master, and when the boat reached the center of the river, my master caught a flat fish on a whim. I was lucky enough to try it, it was really delicious. ”
It seems that there is no problem with this fish. Mingzhu stared for a moment and muttered, "That's weird, where does the poison come from?"
Ruyi suddenly said again: "By the way, Sister Mingzhu, I remembered one thing, I caught a total of two flat fish, and my sister only ate one."
Mingzhu was stunned: "What about the other one?"
The other one was taken away by the girl next to Mrs. Qiao, and the second sister likes to eat fish the most. After thinking about it, my sister couldn't finish the two anyway, so she took it away. ”
"Was it cooked in a pot?"
"Yes."
Mingzhu frowned and said nothing, looking strange. Flatfish Flatfish For some reason, she always thought there was something strange about this fish. But since Ruyi has eaten this fish with his master, it is clear that this fish is not poisonous. Her mind suddenly moved, since Ye Rong also ate this kind of fish, why didn't she go and see her? If she's okay, isn't there anything wrong with this fish at all?
She made a quick decision. "Ruyi, you look at my sister, I'll go to the front cabin to have a look."
Ruyi thought for a while, immediately understood what she meant, and nodded.
As soon as Mingzhu stepped out of the hatch, he heard a wail from the front cabin.
"Rong'er, what's wrong with you? Rong'er? ”
Mingzhu was taken aback, and thought, could it be that Ye Rong had an accident? With a frown, he flew over and grabbed it.
I saw that the door of the front cabin was closed, and the door was crowded with people, and the maids were probing their brains and talking quietly. Jofrao's cry was terrible, and it came through the hatch.
"Rong'er, my good daughter, don't scare your mother...... Rong'er! ”
Mingzhu hurriedly grabbed a girl who was watching the excitement and asked, "What's wrong with the second sister?"
The girl turned her head and saw that it was her, a little scared, and said in a low voice: "Second sister, she suddenly had a bad ......"
"What kind of disease?"
"No...... I don't know, listen to it...... Spit...... Vomited blood......"
"Spit ...... Blood? Mingzhu's face sank. Okay, how can you vomit blood? ”
"I ...... I don't know ...... either."
Mingzhu nodded and said, "Okay, I know." After turning around, he walked slowly.
When she came to the left side of the boat, she glanced left and right to make sure that there was no one, jumped out of the side of the boat, landed lightly on the top of the boat, used light skills, and galloped to the other side, and then an upside-down golden bell was close to the window. She stretched out her index finger and poked holes in the two windows, from which she could clearly see the inside of the cabin.
I saw Ye Rong lying on the couch with her eyes closed, motionless, her face was as white as paper, and her lips were bloodshot.
Mrs. Qiao knelt in front of the couch and hugged her daughter and cried heartbreakingly.
Mingzhu was secretly frightened, looking at Ye Rong's appearance, could it be that she was also poisoned by her sister? Usually, Ye Rong's meals are separate from her sister, and the recipes are different each time. The only time the two of them ate the same dish, that was the two flat fish.
Just now, she suspected that Mrs. Qiao's mother and daughter had poisoned her, but now that she saw Ye Rong's appearance, she suddenly became suspicious, could it be that she guessed wrong? Ye Rong is innocent at all?
She couldn't figure out the link, and she was about to leave quietly, but she saw the door of the cabin suddenly open, and an old woman walked in, bowed down and said, "Madam!"
It's no wonder that Qiao Furao's crying stopped abruptly, she wiped her tears, turned to the two girls behind her and said, "Go out!"
"Yes!"
After the girl withdrew, Mrs. Qiao whispered, "How?"
Their expressions alerted Mingzhu, who listened intently.
The old lady didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Mrs. Qiao said again, "Are you sure?" The voice was already a little shaky.
"Of course," said the old lady in a low voice, "the slave and maid hid in the back compartment by sweeping the floor, and faintly heard the crying in the cabin...... Madame, do you think, if something bad doesn't happen, who will cry in vain? How unlucky. ”
Mrs. Qiao was so happy that her eyebrows fluttered, and she rubbed her hands and said, "Great! Now the time for the slut to die has arrived. He turned his head to look at his daughter, and said with some worry, "When will I give my sister pills?" Sister vomited like this, it hurt too much. Your method is good, but Rong'er is pitiful. ”
"Madame, don't worry, my sister will be fine." The old lady comforted. "The pills have been prepared, but it is not advisable to eat them early, the slave maid thinks that it is best to take them tonight."
"Okay!"
"Madam, did the slave go down and prepare the pills?"
"Go ahead," Jofru nodded.
The old lady retreated, and Mrs. Qiao hugged her daughter again and began to cry and cry.
The pearl hanging from the window was only ear-splitting. It turned out that it was the mother and daughter who framed the sister! She was furious, and immediately prepared to go through the window and solve one with a knife. However, she thought about it, by the way, could the pill they made be the antidote?
She frowned, shrunk her body, and fell into the cabin lightly. When I looked up, the door of the cabin in front of me opened, and sure enough, the old woman walked out just now.
She dodged and hid behind the pillar.
I saw the old lady coming over slowly, looking left and right at no one, pushing open a door and walking in.
Mingzhu quietly followed, but fortunately there was a window next to her, and she slowly peeked in.
There were a lot of miscellaneous items for the ship piled up in the house, and the old lady took out a box from a blue cloth bag, and the box contained seven or eight black balls.
Mingzhu felt a pang in her heart, could that be the antidote?
The old lady took out the pill and looked at it, then put it back in its place with trepidation, then put the bag away, and turned around and went out.
Mingzhu hurriedly hid to the side.
The old lady stood in the doorway for a moment, then turned and walked away.
Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and after watching the old grandmother's back disappear, she gently pushed open the door and dodged into the room.
