At the beginning of the banquet, Xiang Junjun looked around curiously, but because Xiang Zejiang said before coming that she couldn't show too drastic actions, she didn't look at the turmoil.

Zhong Xiaoshu picked up the water and wine on the table and raised it in the direction of Xiang Zejiang and Xiang Junjun, "The ambassador and the princess have come from afar, they are my distinguished guests in Xichuan, I hope you have a good time in Xichuan." ”

Xiang Zejiang raised the wine glass and thanked him, Xiang Junjun also hurriedly raised the wine glass and smiled, she took a sip of the wine in the glass and hurriedly put it down.

"Your Majesty has some things to deal with recently, so there is no way to entertain you personally, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive me."

"The queen is too worried, and I am very satisfied."

Everyone talked happily and the atmosphere was happy.

At this time, Xiao Cheng was sitting in the room, she looked out the window, the place where the banquet was held was not far from here, and if you listened carefully, she could even hear the musician playing the piano.

She pinched her palms, and a cold color crossed her eyes.

In the banquet hall, everyone was enjoying the performance, and suddenly, Xiang Junjun cried out with a pale face holding his stomach, and then vomited on the ground.

The sudden change startled people, Zhong Xiaoshu stood up, "Go and ask the imperial doctor to send the princess to the side hall." ”

Xiang Zejiang was still holding the wine glass in his hand, and as soon as he wanted to speak, there was a cramping pain in his stomach, and then he vomited all over the ground.

One person is a coincidence, and it is strange for two people to have the same symptoms, Zhong Xiaoshu's face was ugly, she turned her head and whispered to Qing'er.

"Let Jinyiwei seal off this place, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and then go and find the Tai Doctor who is good at drug testing in the Tai Hospital."

Qing'er was ordered to withdraw from the main hall, and then Jinyiwei surrounded the banquet hall, looking at the panicked crowd, Zhong Xiaoshu was unhurried to appease.

"Don't worry, the Jinyi Guard is only used to protect your safety, you can go to the West Hall to rest first, and then the palace will send someone to escort you home."

Looking at the brocade guard with the knife on his waist, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this matter was not simple today, how could Xiang Guolai suddenly have abdominal pain and vomit, could it be that someone deliberately poisoned it.

Xiang Junjun and Xiang Zejiang were sent to the East Side Palace, and when Zhong Xiaoshu arrived, the imperial doctor was already diagnosing and treating, and the food and wine they had just eaten were sent over, and the imperial doctor was testing the poison with a silver needle.

Before the silver needle turned black, the imperial physician pondered for a moment, then took out a small medicine bottle from the medicine box, and poured some powder on it.

After a while, the powder turned into water, and the imperial doctor's face changed, and he immediately took a step back.

Zhong Xiaoshu frowned and didn't speak, and after waiting for a while, the imperial doctor who treated him also came out, and they went outside to report the situation to Zhong Xiaoshu.

"Abdominal pain and vomiting, tongue coating is white, this disease is poisoning, and the two nobles have been poisoned."

The old lady doctor had a gray beard and spoke in a crepe, Zhong Xiaoshu's eyes became complicated, "Have you ever found out what kind of poison?" ”

The imperial doctor who tested the poison took a step forward and lowered his head slightly.

"It is a small foreign poison, it will not be fatal, but it will damage the five internal organs."

Zhong Xiaoshu frowned, completely unaware that a person was hiding in the corner and eavesdropping on them, and only when they all left did the person come out of the darkness.

Under the moonlight, the man's face was revealed, it was Beibei, the maid beside Xiang Junjun, she showed a strange smile, and then walked into the main hall with her head down.

In the house, Xiang Zejiang had already woken up, and Xiang Junjun was still asleep because of his weak physique.

Zhong Xiaoshu sat on the stool with a smile on his face.

"The imperial doctor has just seen it, and said that the princess and Lord Xiang are a little unaccustomed to the soil and water, and they will be able to raise it for two days after taking medicine.

It may be that some dishes are too strong tonight, and it is the negligence of Hongu, and Hongu is sorry. ”

Most of the symptoms of soil and water adaptation are vomiting and fever, which is also right, Xiang Zejiang nodded and thanked him.

"It's not to blame Niangniang, it can only be said that it is unfortunate, and it has failed Niangniang's hospitality."

Zhong Xiaoshu said this again, and asked his subordinates to send them back to their residence, and on the way back to Kunning Palace, Zhong Xiaoshu frowned.

"This banquet was prepared several days ago, if you want to be poisoned, everyone should be poisoned, how can Xiang Guo come to poison, this matter is strange."

"Let Zheng Cong go and check carefully, don't alarm others, and hide it from Xiang Guo's group of people."

The weather was not very good tonight, the moon was tightly covered by dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain.

After Zhong Xiaoshu returned to Kunning Palace, he read the book again before going to sleep.

In the second half of the night, sure enough, it rained lightly, and the raindrops rustled on the window, waking up Xia Zhitao, today is her vigil for Zhong Xiaoshu.

She got up with her clothes on, walked lightly to the door, opened the door and walked out.

There was a cool breeze blowing, which made her goosebumps, the carved palace lamp hanging on the corridor swayed slightly, and Xia Zhitao was stunned for a while before returning to the house.

Zhong Xiaoshu didn't wake up, she climbed on the low couch lightly.

The princess and the ambassador of Xiang Guolai suddenly had abdominal pain and vomiting at yesterday's banquet, and the queen mother asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it, saying that it was not suitable for water and soil, and the vegetable color and oil and salt were too heavy, so it would be like this.

When Xiao Cheng heard this, she smiled, so that she could perfunctory the past, it was really a little difficult.

When she arrived at the imperial dining room, she suddenly saw a little palace maid standing in the courtyard, and when she was puzzled, the eunuch who was working on the side spoke.

"That's a newly transferred cook, just three months into the palace, saying that he has been bullied by the same batch of people who entered the palace, and there is no way to do housekeeping, so he can only be transferred."

Xiao Cheng sighed, arranged something for her casually and entered the house.

Xiang Junjun didn't wake up until this morning, and when she woke up, she felt that she had no strength and was very hungry, she screamed, and after a while, Bei Bei pushed the door in with a bowl of white porridge.

"Princess, you can be regarded as awake, if you don't wake up, Lord Xiang doesn't know what to be deceived by the queen mother of Xichuan."

Bei Bei waited for Xiang Junjun to drink porridge, and then said more, Xiang Junjun swallowed the porridge in his mouth, a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not yesterday, you and Lord Xiang vomited and diarrhea, and the imperial doctor secretly told the queen that it was poisoning, but she turned her head and said to Lord Xiang that you are not accustomed to water and soil."

"She is obviously afraid that this matter will spread to Xiang Guo, and now that Emperor Xichuan is not here, she is a queen who dares to perfunctory us like this, it is really too deceitful."

Bei Bei looked resentful, she paid attention to Xiang Junjun's expression, and added another fire from time to time.

Zhong Xiaoshu instructed Zheng Cong to secretly investigate the poisoning of the banquet last night, and Zheng Cong first started to investigate from the imperial dining room where the ingredients were purchased and the dishes were prepared.

He arranged for a little palace maid to sneak in, and in the afternoon, the little palace maid sent a message saying that there was nothing abnormal, and everyone had an alibi.
