In Laiwu Courtyard, Xiao Jinse looked at the three palace maids who stood up, with a slight expression.

Mo Ziheng's face sank like water, and he swept over several people, and his voice was cold: "Is the food of today's Wu nobles made in the imperial dining room or in the small kitchen of your Laiwu Courtyard?" ”

Qiu Hong said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the meals used by the nobles in the past few days have been made in the small kitchen. ”

"Who did it?" Mo Ziheng's voice was as cold as ice.

"It's a slave ......maid," a palace maid on Qiuhong's right shrank in cringe.

"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Shi's cooking skills are the best, and the food of the Wu nobles is all from Xiao Shi's hands." Qiu Hong continued: "Xiao Ling gave Xiao Shi a hand, and brought the food to the Wu nobles. The slave and maid are waiting at the side of the nobleman at any time. ”

"Everyone else goes down." Glancing at the group of minions kneeling on the ground, Mo Ziheng spoke.

Those eunuchs and palace maids were numb on their knees, and they were very worried in their hearts, for fear that one would accidentally lose his life because of the anger of the Son of Heaven. Hearing Mo Ziheng's words, he was like being amnestied, and he quickly walked out of the main hall one by one.

Mo Ziheng's eyes crossed Xiao Shi, Xiao Ling and Qiu Hong's faces one by one: "Who did it, stand up!" ”

The three little girls were all so frightened by Mo Ziheng that they knelt down in a hurry and scrambled to confess: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have wronged ......"

Mo Ziheng's sword eyebrows were sharp, and he couldn't help but habitually look at Xiao Jinse.

"It is an indisputable fact that the murderer is among the three of you. It's better to take the initiative to admit it, but it's not the same thing when the emperor finds out. Xiao Jinse spoke calmly.

The three girls all began to shout grievances again, Xiao Jinse couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, the murderer behind this is really not dead in the heart of the Yellow River.

Xiao Jinse walked in front of the three of them with light steps, and looked at Xiao Shi definitely. Xiao Shi's face turned white when he was stared at by Xiao Jinse, and he trembled and didn't dare to speak.

"Your fingers...... Injured? Xiao Jinse asked casually.

Mo Ziheng looked at Xiao Shi's hand at this time, and sure enough, he saw that Xiao Shi's left index finger was wrapped in a white cloth.

"It was accidentally cut by the slave maid when she was chopping vegetables......" Xiao Shi explained urgently.

Xiao Jinse nodded, his expression looked like he believed Xiao Shi's words: "I see, but it's ......"

Xiao Jinse's "but" made Xiao Shi just breathe a sigh of relief and raised it again, and looked at Xiao Jinse again with panicked eyes.

"I occasionally come to the house and am interested, and I will make some food...... Xiao Jinse wrote a gossip posture lightly, and said slowly: "In the kitchen, there are many sharp weapons, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will indeed hurt your hands." ”

Xiao Jinse smiled kindly at Xiao Shi, and Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and responded to Xiao Jinse with a wry smile.

"However, if your finger is injured by a kitchen knife, it should be on the first knuckle of your fingertip, how can your injury be on the third knuckle?"

Xiao Jinse's voice was not loud, and her tone was soft, but at this time, her words made Xiao Shi almost collapse on the ground without standing still.

"Say!" Mo Ziheng asked coldly.

"Back to Your Majesty, it was really injured by a kitchen knife, and the slave maid said it wrongly, it was injured when she was peeling fruit for the Wu nobles." Xiao Shi finished his words in a trembling voice.

"I'll take a look at the wound." Xiao Jinse obviously didn't want to watch this girl continue to act, so she said directly.

Xiao Shi raised his left hand, took off the white gauze on his fingers, and hung the wound in front of Xiao Jinse.

As soon as he saw the wound, Xiao Jinse sneered in his heart, the wound was not very deep, the incision was uneven, and it was still standing up along his fingers.
