The loss of Zhang Yan, the prospective daughter-in-law, has always been a pain in the heart of the Queen Mother, and she has not found out who is the ghost in it for a long time, but is there really such a coincidence in this world? The pastry last time was also, and so was the sachet this time, this Liang Rujun, what is there that she doesn't know?

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly turned cold!

Liang Rujun listened to Xuanyuan Jingxi's questioning, and his heart froze, and he quickly explained: "This sachet is made by the courtier's maid, as for why it is exactly the same as Miss Gu Er, this courtier's daughter doesn't know." ”

"You don't know?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows.

Liang Rujun was startled in his heart, but he refused to admit the origin of this purse, and immediately retorted: "It may be that Miss Gu Er knew that the courtiers had this sachet, so she ...... it."

"May I ask Miss Liang, when did you make this sachet? It looks pretty new. Xuanyuan Jingxi sneered, slowly walked to the table, stretched out his head to look at the sachet, and turned around and said: "But Miss Gu's one is a bit old, but it has been used for more than a year, you just said that sentence, don't you feel ashamed?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately raised her eyes and looked at the sachet of Gu Ruoxi on the table that had been cut into pieces, although the color was bright, but the edge part was worn out, this was indeed a sachet that had been used for more than a year, otherwise it would not be like this. She turned her head again to look at the sachet of Liang Rujun that Imperial Physician Liang was holding in her hand, but she could see at a glance that it was a new purse.

In the end, who is true and who is false, you can see through it at a glance.

After the Queen Mother saw these clearly, she turned cold: "Miss Liang, how do you explain this matter?" ”

Liang Rujun secretly regretted it, she never thought that Xuanyuan Jingxi's observation would be so subtle! I even noticed this! This purse was made by her in a hurry, of course, it is not as old as Gu Ruoxi's, originally she thought that no one would notice this, but it was broken by Xuanyuan Jingxi's words, and now the Queen Mother questioned again, how did she answer?

There is no time to give her superfluous considerations, Liang Rujun is a person who is calculating, she knows that the more time she has to think about it, the heavier the Queen Mother's suspicions, so, almost at the moment when the Queen Mother's voice fell, she suddenly lowered her head and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtier didn't look carefully at Miss Gu Er's purse just now, she just felt that she was very similar to the courtier's purse, so the courtier's purse will have this idea, I don't want to misunderstand Miss Gu Er, the courtier's purse, I bought the embroidery sample from an embroidery shop in Kyoto, so I guess Miss Koji also bought the embroidery sample from there, right? What a coincidence. ”

But this time, Gu Ruoxi refused to cooperate with her, she smiled lightly, and said: "Miss Liang, you are wrong, the pattern of this purse was drawn by myself, and the purse was also made by myself

What is it? It's exactly the same as what I came up with, it's really teachable! ”

When Liang Rujun heard this, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, but she could only pretend to be calm and said: "That's really a coincidence, I bought the tricks from the Splendid Villa." I spent a tael of silver that day! ”

"This is simple, as long as you immediately send someone to the Splendid Villa to bring up the account book now, you can know that Miss Liang bought the pattern in the embroidery Zhuangzi that day." When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he laughed, he glanced sideways at Liang Rujun and said, "I just don't know that Miss Liang bought the pattern on that day?" It's easy to check if you say it. ”

Liang Rujun calmed down when he heard this, and immediately replied crisply: "The slave maid is the purse that was bought by the personal maid Cuiyun to the Splendid Villa three months ago, and His Royal Highness can go to check it." ”

Gu Ruoxi said with a smile: "Then His Royal Highness also sent someone to the slave's house to get the pattern that the slave and maid drew a year ago." It is dated and noted. ”

The two of them all swore an oath, and the Queen Mother looked at it, and she was confused, she didn't know which one was true! Which is fake!

However, Xuanyuan Jingxi responded in one bite, turned his head sideways, glanced at Liang Rujun and said: "Who is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Splendid Villa, His Royal Highness will also check it together, Miss Liang, it is best not to let His Highness find out, it is the property of your Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." ”

When Liang Rujun heard this, his eyes shrank!

However, the Queen Mother was a little hesitant: "Jing'er, you just send someone to investigate the matter, why do you need to investigate the boss behind the scenes?" What does this have to do with our business? ”

"Queen Mother, Miss Liang said so much, just like the truth, if the boss behind the scenes is the Marquis of Zhongyong, wouldn't this be the evidence she forged in advance?" Xuanyuan Jingxi raised his eyebrows and said.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was speechless.

At this moment, Liang Rujun suddenly knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing, you don't need to investigate, the courtiers confess." That splendid villa is indeed the property of the Marquis of Zhongyong! ”

The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, she glanced at Liang Rujun in disbelief, and asked, "Jing'er guessed right, is that your family's property?" ”

She suddenly understood, it must be this Liang Rujun who didn't know where she saw Gu Ruoxi's sachet a year ago, and when she saw the beautiful embroidery, she kept her eyes on it, and made a copy according to the pattern to sell it in her family's villa, and she also brought one such sachet with her, and it was not a strange thing for the two people to bump into each other today.

It's just that Liang Rujun's approach is really not flattering.

After the Queen Mother figured it out, she looked down on Liang Rujun even more, why did she stupidly find such a daughter-in-law for Min'er? How can she be worthy of Min'er!

It's just that she also gave up doubting Liang Rujun because of this.

"That's it! Don't worry about the origin of the purse, Imperial Doctor Liang, you have been checking for so long, is there something in Miss Liang's purse? "The Queen Mother turned

He turned his head and asked Imperial Physician Liang.

"Back to the Queen Mother, there are only some spices in this purse, and there are no poisonous powders or anything like that." Imperial Physician Liang hurriedly replied. In this short period of time, he had already opened Liang Rujun's purse and checked it.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Okay, since it's okay, then you can go and check Xiaoluo's things!" ”

But at this moment, Imperial Physician Liang frowned and said, "Miss Liang, is this veil yours?" As he spoke, he lifted up the moon-white handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers, and the cloth was of satin, which was not something that ordinary people could use.

"It's a courtier's, what's wrong?" Liang Rujun said slowly: "But this handkerchief courtier has lent it to Xiaoluo today, and she just returned it to the courtier." ”

When Imperial Physician Liang heard this, he immediately put down the handkerchief, picked up the purse that Xiao Luo had untied from her body, and examined it more carefully.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Imperial Doctor Liang, what's wrong?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, on that handkerchief, there is the fragrance of calendula and mandala flowers, one of which is poisonous."

The word poisonous suddenly entered the eyes of the Queen Mother, her eyes lit up, and she immediately ordered: "Check!" Hurry up and check it out! ”

At this moment, a trace of horror suddenly appeared on Xiao Luo's face on the side, she seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but turn her head and look at Liang Rujun in disbelief.

Gu Ruoxi has been paying attention to Xiao Luo's expression since Imperial Physician Liang said the word poison, so she watched all this scene. This reminded her of the day Liang Rujun first came.

At that time, she was leaning on the railing outside the Buddha and looking into the distance, and Liang Rujun once stood beside her and talked to her for a while. After she left, Gu Ruoxi found that the sachet on her body had been dropped.

She knew how to heal, so she immediately smelled the seeds of the mandala flower in the sachet, which was a highly poisonous thing, and as long as a person ate a little bit, he would die violently. Since then, she has known that Liang Rujun wants to calculate her.

But Gu Ruoxi did not move, and in the next two days, she found an opportunity to quietly exchange the sachet and Liang Rujun's bag for her original one.

Originally, she wanted Liang Rujun to eat the consequences, but when Imperial Doctor Liang said that the purse was non-toxic, Gu Ruoxi immediately reacted, Liang Rujun was too cunning! She exchanged that purse with Xiao Luo again!

That's why Xiao Luo showed such a frightened expression, because she also guessed all this!

Liang Rujun stood there with a calm face, she didn't seem to be afraid that Xiao Luo would bite her back at all!

Gu Ruoxi saw her expression, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, this girl is talented! It's really a good skill to be so in danger!

Imperial Doctor Liang turned all the contents of the little lotus purse out, and found that there was actually a sachet in it that was exactly the same as Liang Rujun's body! whereas

And, like Gu Ruoxi, a few pieces of pastry were loaded.

Imperial Physician Liang picked up the purse and sniffed it carefully, and said with great certainty: "The Queen Mother!" The murderer has been found! It's inside this sachet! It contains the seeds of a mandala flower, which is highly poisonous! ”

However, the Queen Mother's focus was not on this, but on the sachet itself, and it took a long time for her to murmur: "Can any of you explain to the mourning family, why the three of you have exactly the same purse?" ”

Gu Ruoxi was the calmest, Liang Rujun was second, and Xiao Luo was already trembling all over.

Gu Ruoxi glanced at Liang Rujun sideways, but found that she was so calm, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart.

Is she really not afraid that Xiao Luo will bite back at all?

Gu Ruoxi soon got the answer. Shangguang Holy Waste.

"Little Luo! You said! Why did you kill Pear? Also, this purse on you. Why is it exactly the same as Miss Gu Er? The Queen Mother asked sharply.

Xuanyuan Jingxi added on the side: "Queen Mother, and Miss Liang, her purse is the same. ”

The Queen Mother gave him a blank look, stared at Xiao Luo with sharp eyes, and asked, "The mourning family will give you another chance, and you will answer honestly!" If there is a word to hide, the mourning family will let you die without a place to be buried! ”

When Xiao Luo heard this, her whole body trembled even more, she glanced at the Queen Mother, and said timidly: "Back to the Queen Mother, slave maid, slave maid is to see the beautiful purse that Miss Liang is wearing." So I secretly made a ...... by myself according to the trick."

"You are so similar to Miss Liang! It's all about seeing that other people's purses are beautiful, so they secretly make one themselves! The temperament is really similar! Xuanyuan Jingxi mocked infinitely: "But have you asked the original owner to agree?" ”

"Jing'er, don't ask these things that have nothing to do with the case!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she frowned fiercely and said, "It's important to find out the murderer first." ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi touched his nose and stood there silent.

In this matter, Gu Ruoxi's suspicion was the lowest, and she stood there. The complexion was very calm.

However, Liang Rujun on the side couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, this Xiaoluo is really not a smart person! If it was Cuiyun, the personal maid beside her, she would definitely bite back at this moment, saying that the purse was given to her by Miss Gu Er! Then the Queen Mother will definitely suspect Miss Gu Er, maybe the situation will be reversed, can't this dead girl be smarter?

After the queen mother reprimanded her son, she immediately turned her eyes to Xiaoluo on the side, and said in a fierce voice: "Okay! Treat this purse as yours, but why do you put the seeds of the mandala flower in it? Why did you kill Pear? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, slave. The slave maid ...... "Xiao Luo is speechless, she didn't kill people at all, let her say anything at this time?"

Aunt Jingyue on the side suddenly spoke: "Queen Mother, you don't know, this Xiaoluo and Xiaoli are not very good on weekdays

Deal with it, and the two always quarrel to the death. In addition, the Queen Mother, you trust Xiaoli more, and it is possible that this Xiaoluo has a grudge. It's just that she chose to assassinate Xiaoli when the two young ladies entered the palace to copy the scriptures for the late Prince Min, wanting others to bear the charge. It's really damned! ”

"However, just because of a few quarrels, you have to kill the other party, it's unlikely, right?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she was immediately surprised.

At this moment, Gu Ruoxi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Queen Mother, the courtiers have something to say." ”

"What do you have to say?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Gu Ruoxi and said, "Don't say anything more about things that have nothing to do with the case." ”

"Yes, sissy." Gu Ruoxi cleared her throat and said, "Just now, Niangniang and all the imperial doctors were discussing why Xiao Luo killed people, but everyone ignored one point, that is, the seeds of the mandala flower, where did Xiao Luo come from?" There is no such flower in the palace, she is a little palace maid, where did she come from? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "You go on!" At this time, she no longer said that Gu Ruoxi was messing around.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Gu Ruoxi smiled lightly and said: "There is no such mandala flower in the palace, the courtiers think that if they want to find out about this case, the most important thing is to find out where the seeds of the mandala flower come from, not in the palace, that is, outside the palace, as long as you find out who grows this kind of flower in the capital, isn't it clear at a glance?" ”

"You're right!" The Queen Mother nodded immediately, but her brows suddenly wrinkled tightly: "The capital is so big, where can I check it out at this moment?" ”

Gu Ruoxi immediately said: "Back to Niangniang's words, this mandala flower is very toxic, whether it is flowers, paths, leaves, seeds, the whole body contains highly poisonous, more than ten years ago, the first emperor had made a decree, our entire Great Yuan Dynasty is not this kind of flower, basically extinct." Nowadays, many people have forgotten what happened back then, and some people secretly planted some at home. ”

The Queen Mother said curiously: "How did you know all this?" ”

Gu Ruoxi hurriedly said: "Back to the mother's words, the courtiers have nothing to do, and sometimes they read some books in their father's study, and they have read these on the mansion copy, so they remember it." ”

"You're smart!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately praised it.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi on the side suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Queen Mother!" Erchen remembered! There is one person who must have this kind of mandala flower in his home! ”

"Who is it?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she asked with a happy face.

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he immediately said: "Some time ago, Erchen met Liang Ziye, the son of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, in the Yuchun Building, and invited him to live in the Erchen Mansion for a few days, I don't know if the queen mother still remembers?" ”

As soon as the queen mother heard this person, her face sank, because of this Liang Ziye, her

Her son was once suspected by the people of the capital of having a habit of breaking his sleeves, and it was strange that she heard that this person could be happy!

"What's the matter with him?" The Queen Mother said displeased.

Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly and said, "This Liang Ziye once told his son that he has this kind of mandala flower planted in his house!" As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at Liang Rujun and smiled lightly, and said, "Miss Liang, what your eldest brother said in person, I don't think it should be fake, right?" ”

Liang Rujun's face had already turned pale at this time, and when she heard this, she pretended to be calm and said, "Has my brother said this?" Your Highness must have misremembered, right? ”

"It's okay to be wrong!" Xuanyuan Jingxi clapped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness sent someone to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to investigate!" If not, then Ben Wang will apologize to Miss Liang. ”

Liang Rujun raised his neck and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to apologize!" Since my eldest brother said that we have a mandala flower at home, did he ever say what this flower is for? ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi blinked and said, "This king forgot." ”

Liang Rujun turned his head sideways, looked at Imperial Physician Liang, and said, "As an imperial physician, you should know that although this mandala flower is poison, it can actually be used in medicine, yes or no?" ”

"What Miss Liang said is very true!" When Imperial Physician Liang heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, although this mandala flower is poison, a small amount of flowers and leaves can treat rheumatism and bone pain, and it can be regarded as a rare medicinal material." ”

When Liang Rujun heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "The courtier's seventy-year-old grandmother suffers from rheumatism, and my eldest brother has been secretly hiding this mandala flower from others in order to relieve some of the pain in her old man, and it has been several years. Could it be that because of this, His Royal Highness should suspect that the courtiers poisoned Xiaoli? ”

On her face, there was a sense of humiliation that she had been wronged.
