Chapter Seventy-Six: Something Happened
The three princes were already furious, and if it was found out that they had wronged Cuixiang afterwards, the consequences would be unimaginable. Zhou Xueruo quietly glanced at the star fruit with the usual look, her hands clenched into fists, and her heart was about to jump out.
The little guy who went to get the tea cup didn't come back for a long time, and the third prince waited a little impatiently and asked, "What's the matter?" Is it so much trouble to get a teacup? ”
An Zhifu only glanced at Zhou Xueruo, and guessed their plan, and deliberately helped delay some time: "The tea cups used to entertain distinguished guests in the mansion are all the same color, and it will indeed take some time to find the set you used that day for the third prince." ”
"Then take them all, let's test them one by one."
The corners of An Zhifu's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he told the little servant to hurry up: "I can't help but make a mistake, go and bring all the tea cups used by the three princes." ”
This time, the little guys came back quickly, and An Zhiyuan, who pretended to be sick, came with them.
The third prince glanced at An Zhifu meaningfully, but didn't say anything.
There are more than 20 sets of tea for the three princes, and the colors are also very similar.
Carambola looked at the tea set in front of her and frowned, and after saluting the three princes, she asked, "Your Highness, do you remember which tea set you used at that time?" ”
If the three princes can remember clearly, An Zhiyuan's chances of success will be smaller.
The third prince glanced at the many tea sets, his eyes stopped on the eight-petal lotus blue and white tea cups, and then shook his head and said, "I don't remember, the left and right tea cups are here, you can check them one by one." ”
Star fruit was a little disappointed, but An Zhiyuan and Zhou Xueruo's hearts were relieved.
They did their hands and feet on the tea cup, but the three princes' tea sets were almost the same, and it was really difficult to find the same set at that time after such a long time.
But if the third prince can't remember it himself, then there will be no more problems.
The star fruit was inspected one by one with the teacup, it was a matter of human life and innocence, and she didn't dare to be sloppy at all. After checking one by one, they never found the tea cup contaminated with poison.
Seeing that there were only the last three left, the heart of the star fruit jumped violently: there are only three left, don't find out.
Zhou Xueruo also became nervous, there are only three left, is An Zhiyuan reliable? She was the one who killed Cuixiang, crying and shouting that Cuixiang was a spy or her person, if it was found out that the tea set was not poisonous......
She nervously watched as star fruit picked up a blue and white lotus flower, and her breathing began to be unsmooth.
Star fruit was also so nervous that her heart was beating faster, she took a closer look, her beating heart almost jumped out, and her face became ugly in an instant: poisonous, this tea cup really has the residual poison of soul devouring, is Cuixiang really a spy who wants to harm the three princes?
Star fruit reflexively looked at Zhou Xueruo, and saw her equally nervous expression.
"How? Is it poisonous or not? ”
The stakes are very high, star fruit didn't dare to lie at all, even if she was very unwilling, she still nodded and said: "It's poisonous, it's Miao Jiang who eats souls." ”
The star fruit had a mouse caught and fed it with water from the cup. It didn't take long for the rat, which had been very clever before, to go crazy, and the appearance of scratching and biting for half a moment without stopping was terrifying.
"Just the residue on the teacup, the medicinal effect is so strong?" The third prince tried to tense up, but his eyes still revealed a little annoyance and jealousy.
He unconsciously glanced at the blue and white entwined lotus pot in the hand of star fruit, and glanced at the eight-petal blue lotus blue flower pot again, and the look in his eyes became more and more unfathomable.
The rat in front of her who hit her head and bled and didn't stop bleeding saw the star fruit with a burst of nausea, she staggered her eyes, and replied with the discomfort: "Maybe there are more drug residues, and the mice are too small to bear it." ”
"What about the man? What happens to people who eat these amounts? ”
"Maybe it's not crazy, but it will definitely damage the body, and it's hard to say to what extent."
The third prince's face sank by two points, and he asked the maid kneeling below sharply: "In addition to the Soul Devouring Scatter, what other evidence is there?" ”
The maid then took out a few more mutilated letters: "Cuixiang also noticed that she was burning these things when the slave maid led people to search her house, and the slave maid only had time to snatch them. ”
The letterhead was presented to the three princes, and from the incomplete words, it could be seen that Cuixiang was instructed to murder the three princes. It is completely unclear who instructed him or for what purpose.
The third prince silently handed the letterhead to the An Governor's Mansion: "Check!" ”
Without asking anything else, the third prince turned around and left, and when he passed by Zhou Xueruo's side, he stopped and helped her up: "It's hard for you, go back and rest." ”
Zhou Xueruo looked at the three princes flattered, and there was a very obvious joy in her eyes: "Your Royal Highness, ......"
"Let's go back and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." He patted Zhou Xueruo's shoulder meaningfully: "I lack a considerate person around me who grinds and adds tea, so when you are rested, come to me." ”
Zhou Xueruo nodded heavily, her face was delicate and red, and she was indescribably charming. The third prince looked at her and smiled lightly and strode away.
An Zhifu was busy investigating the case, calling the maid and An Zhiyuan to go to the front for questioning, but the star fruit, who was used to distinguish poison, was left out in the cold: "This poison is domineering, and it must not cause chaos in Anfu." There is Dr. Lao Yang to deal with this set of tea cups, as well as mice. When you're done with that, come back and record a confession! ”
"Good!"
When they walked out of the prefect's mansion for a long time, the star fruit was still looking at the crazy mouse in a daze.
"But what's wrong?" Joan crouched down to catch the mouse, fearing that the mad rat would hurt the star fruit.
Carambola grabbed Qiao An's hand first, shook her head firmly and said, "Don't move, I'll see how long it will take to die!" ”
"What's wrong?"
Star fruit looked at the guards on the left and right, shook her head at Qiao An and said, "There's nothing wrong, it's just that I'm curious about how domineering Miao Jiang's Gu poison is." ”
As soon as Joan looked at her, she knew that she had made a discovery, and knew that now was not the time to speak, so she didn't ask.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the poisoned rat died. Carambola dissected its internal organs and examined it carefully: the internal organs were blackened and he died of poisoning.
In the name of destroying the mouse carcass, star fruit and Joan left the house, and after walking for long, they noticed that they were followed by a tail.
Joan gave star fruit a look, and the two of them turned around and struggled to finally get rid of the person who was following them.
"What the hell is going on?" Joan pulled the star fruit and hid in a secluded place, and asked with a frown after making sure it was safe to speak.
"Cuixiang died unjustly, at least she definitely didn't give the third prince a soul devouring scatter." Star fruit looked at Qiao An's face with indignation: "The medicinal properties of Soul Eater Powder are powerful, there are definitely not many that may be stained on the tea cup, and then rinse and then boil it with boiling water, it should definitely not be able to poison the rats." ”
"So, the poison on the teacup must have been added later?"
"Well, because I was in a hurry, I didn't pay much attention to the amount, and I didn't boil it in boiling water." Carambola's brows furrowed tightly, and her tone gradually changed from hesitation to affirmation: "Cuixiang's method of poisoning is also wrong, since her purpose is to poison, why did she throw herself into the arms of the third prince?" ”
"yes, that mistake was too obvious. Cuixiang didn't do this like she wanted to poison the three princes, but more like she was looking for death. ”
"If it is really a taught spy, you should honestly gain the trust of the three princes and wait for the opportunity to poison him, so that you can complete the task well."
"But Cuixiang didn't, she served a cup of 'poisonous tea' for the three princes, but instead of guiding the three princes to drink it, she took the opportunity to pounce on others. This kind of mistake will never be made by ordinary people, let alone spies! ”
"This loophole is so obvious, why didn't the third prince find it?" Carambola sighed a little discouraged: "There is also the poisoning process of catching Cuixiang, and the third prince didn't ask." Since the maid said that she caught Cuixiang burning the letter, why didn't she deal with it when she arrived, and why did she give her the opportunity to go to the third prince? It simply doesn't make sense. ”
The more star fruit talked, the more blocked her heart became, and in the end, she suddenly became dumbfounded: "Do you say that the third prince intends to protect An Zhifu and Zhou Xueruo?" If not, you wouldn't have done that. ”
Qiao An couldn't figure out the purpose of the third prince, so she had to comfort: "No, the third prince was ordered to parade to see his own family's country." Whoever harms the country is harming his family, and he will never be so indulgent in the open.
What's more, if he wanted to protect it, he wouldn't mention that Cuixiang was beaten to death with a stick. If the third prince and the An family are in the same group, there is no need for the An family to act out such a loophole drama again. ”
Star fruit was even more confused when she heard it: "Then why didn't he check it well?" was tricked and deceived like this, and the three princes could tolerate it. ”
"Maybe you want to cast a long line to catch a big fish." Qiao An thought about it, and this one reason can be slightly justified: "A maid died, just reprimand a few words." If An Zhiyuan and Zhou Xue are messing around again, they are just finding a reasonable reason to kill the maid, and the three princes will beat them up if they are angry.
The case was handed over to the Governor's Office, and the matter rose to the top of a political matter. If it is an unjust, false and wrongly decided case, not only can we see his political quality, but also his character and heart, then it will involve political achievements and the evaluation of officials. ”
"Is that really the case?" Carambola was a little undecided, and asked Qiao An cautiously: "If something like this happens, I have a chance to get close to the third prince, and I just said that I can check whether there is a soul devouring toxin in his body to check the pulse." But in this situation, do you think we can mention my master's matter? ”
didn't understand the temperament of the third prince, and Qiao An didn't dare to bet: "Otherwise, let's wait for a while, let's go to Master Qin first, and listen to what he has to say." ”
When they walked to the inn where Qin Fuzi and they were staying, they found that there were people from Anfu guarding the door.
"Master Qin, they are also being targeted."
"Let's just pretend we don't know, let's go!"
Qiao An and star fruit entered the inn, but the people who were watching did not stop them, and hurriedly hid in the dark. Seeing Master Qin, before Qiao An and Carambola could speak, Yang Chunxiao panicked: "Sister, something happened at home, it's a big deal!" ”
