Chapter 212: Poisoning People
"The reason I entered the palace was that the Queen Mother was ill and asked me to serve the sick, and now I am being beaten in Xinzheku, and I have to thank the emperor for his grace?"
.
The Queen Mother didn't expect Mu Jiaren to react so much, it seems that she can do anything next.
"Okay, today's incident is responsible, Mama Feng has been injured by you, the mourning family will not pursue it again, you are waiting for Beichen Ye to come back, during this time, I hope you can settle down, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Ye'er's future."
The Queen Mother moved out of Beichen Ye, intending to calm Mu Jiaren down.
After hearing this, she was indeed much calmer, and she would calculate this account in her own way regardless of being suppressed by reason.
When I went back to Xinzheku, everyone kept silent about what happened last night, and the queen mother suppressed the matter, and even the queen didn't know about it.
The next day, a new head Mama came, Mama Zhao was not in Xinzhiku before, and she didn't know what happened last night.
Her job today is very simple, cleaning the palace road.
Mu Jiaren found Xiaoluzi and gave him all the silver and bracelets in hand.
"Go buy the best medicine for Tao Ran, it's impossible for the imperial doctor to treat a palace maid, give more consultation fees, and see if you can invite someone."
"Okay, I got it."
"Tao Ran, why do you protect me like this every time?" Mu Jiaren asked a question that has always been strange, although they are close, but Tao Ran is five or six years younger than her, how could he think of giving his life for her?
Xiao Luzi pursed his lips and said, "Actually, we all know what you do. ”
"What did I do?"
"Jin Qiao inquired about his family before committing suicide, and he also asked our family by the way, saying that someone sent a lot of rice, flour, meat and oil, but Tao Ran and I didn't send so much money to our family, let alone buy anything, so you are the only one who does this."
Mu Jiaren was stunned, she did ask Xiao Luzi to send a few letters to Bao Shijie, to help take care of Tao Ran and Xiao Luzi's family, not to send money, to send things.
Although the silver is good, but the human heart is unpredictable, and if there is more money, they will become lazy and greedy, and giving them some necessities can at least improve their current life.
She thought they didn't know this, but she didn't expect Jin Qiao to guess it.
"Although I don't know who Sister Xia Zhu is, it must not be like us, Tao Ran and I are very worried about you being affected."
Mu Jiaren looked about the same height as herself, but she was much thinner, and she couldn't help but think of what Jin Qiao once said, there is too little kindness given to them in this world, so that one of her concerns will be remembered by them for a long time.
She hasn't been in contact with Mama Feng for a long time, but she has the impression that she is not such a rough person, it is true that she was angry last night, Mu Jiaren always felt that someone had done something inside, and this matter was not like a coincidence.
But now that the Queen Mother has suppressed the matter, she doesn't plan to check it anymore, but she is more vigilant in her heart, and now that she is in Xinzheku, someone should want to target her.
After sweeping the palace road, Mu Jiaren returned to her residence and looked at the food box sent by Tao Ran, she made snacks for herself yesterday, but today she is unconscious.
She opened the box, and there were small dried fish, candied fruit and some Soviet-style snacks, which could be stored here for two days and were not easy to spoil.
The dried fish is very salty, and it is best to eat it with porridge, Xin Zheku eats porridge all year round, and Tao Ran spent a lot of thought preparing it.
At dinner time in the evening, several palace maids in the same room hid outside to eat, and only five or six remained.
The few people who went out were all taught a lesson last night, and the rest were those who did not participate in all kinds of fights.
She was beaten by Mama Feng yesterday, she had bruises on her abdomen, and her appetite was not good, so she wanted to rest after eating a little.
She left only the small dried fish, and the snacks and preserves in the food box were placed in front of the others in the house: "I don't want to eat these for a day, so you can eat them." ”
Several people were stunned, and an older palace maid spoke: "You can eat, we are not used to eating these." ”
Mu Jiaren didn't explain much, but applied some medicine and lay down to rest.
Seeing that she didn't do anything, several people paused, and then you and I began to grab food one by one.
The next morning, Mama Zhao asked everyone to get up, and Mu Jiaren also got up, but there were five or six people in the house who couldn't wake up, and a palace maid pushed hard, and one of them turned from sideways to back, with blood and tears in the corners of his eyes, and his lips were black, and he was poisoned at first glance.
"Ahh Dead! ”
The other people died in the same way, and Mama Feng hurriedly brought someone over to check.
"What's going on?"
"No...... I don't know......" Everyone shook their heads.
At this time, a palace maid pointed to Mu Jiaren and said, "Xia Zhu and they had dinner in the house last night, and everyone rested after that, so ......"
"Yes, when I came in, I saw Xia Zhu giving them snacks to eat."
"Dim sum?" Mama Feng looked at Mu Jiaren, "Where did you get the dim sum?" ”
Mu Jiaren didn't speak, but stepped forward to check.
Mama Feng stepped forward to stop her, and when she was about to scold, the other mammas grabbed her.
Remind her in a whisper that this Xia Zhu is not small, don't mess with her.
Mu Jiaren went to check, they were all poisoned, probed the pulse, felt the corpse stiff, and they should have died of poison shortly after falling asleep.
Last night she was not feeling well, she slept comfortably, with her light skills, it was impossible for someone to come in and poison her.
So, as they said, it's poison in the heart.
Mu Jiaren immediately went to check the plate of dim sum, and put away the small dried fish and food box.
Mama Feng was enraged by her unseen behavior, and shouted: "No matter how powerful you are, you can't be bigger than the queen mother!" Go, if you poisoned it, the queen will find out! ”
"It should be poisoned on the snack or food box, but it wasn't me."
"You gave this thing to them to eat, how could it not be you?"
"I have no grievances with them, what are you trying to kill them?"
"Explain to the queen mother!"
As he spoke, he took Mu Jiaren to the queen.
A few days ago, there was a case of corpse mutilation, and this time five people died of poisoning, and the queen was also very angry and asked people to investigate the cause of death.
After a while, the imperial doctor found out that it was indeed a white powdered poison in the dim sum, snow sleep powder.
This powder will make people drowsy, and it is okay for people to wake up, but once they fall asleep, the toxicity will run to the internal organs, and people will be poisoned to death while sleeping.
There was no snow sleeping powder in the dried fish, and the preserves and snacks were put in.
The queen slapped the table hard and glared at Mu Jiaren.
"Say, why do you kill! Who gave you the guts! ”
Mu Jiaren said indifferently: "The dim sum was given to them by the slave maid, but the slave maid didn't know that it had been poisoned, and this poison was not to kill them, but to kill the slave maid." ”
