Jiuyu returned to her room and let out a long sigh, "I really can't be at peace for a moment. ”

Bi Xiang walked into the house, "Miss, what you asked me to investigate, I have already found out, in Mrs. Cao's room did find Anma grass, according to Red Sleeves, this is a tasteless herb, after eating it has the effect of replenishing qi and blood, but if ordinary people eat it, it is easy to damage the throat." We found this anma grass in the residue of Madame May's ginseng soup. Hearing this, Jiuyu sighed slightly, "That means the evidence is conclusive?" ”

"There are also anma herbs in other parts of the palace, but this is a very common herb for tonifying the body, but strangely it is everywhere, but there is nothing in Mrs. Mei's mansion."

"Nothing in Mrs. May's house?"

Bixiang nodded, and at this time the red sleeves walked in, "Miss, according to what I found, no one has touched Mrs. Mei's bowl, only Mrs. Cao stopped the maid who sent the ginseng soup, but according to what the maid said, Mrs. Cao did not open the food box, but just handed her a Dongzhu necklace." ”

"Didn't open the food box?"

Red Sleeves nodded, and Jiuyu smiled coldly, "I always feel that something is wrong." ”

"Miss, do you think Mrs. Cao did this?"

Jiuyu didn't speak, just leaned on the couch, looked at the snow scene outside the window, and kept thinking about the scene of the intrigue between Chen and his mother all day long, and now he ended up like this.

Just as she was reminiscing about the past, she suddenly remembered that when she was looking for the poison of the smelling grass, the effect of the medicine was slowly attacking, so what kind of flavor did this hemp grass have? "Red Sleeves, is this hemp grass chronic?"

"Actually, it can't be said whether it is chronic or acute, how to say it, a small amount of ampanda grass is a tonic when paired with other herbs, and a long amount is a medicine that damages the throat. It depends on the dosage of the drug. ”

"Who is in this palace who is mainly responsible for Mrs. Mei's daily life and food?"

"It should be her personal subordinate."

"Biography."

There were three women kneeling in the hall, and Jiuyu sat on the top of the main hall, "The three of you are in charge of Mrs. Mei's living and eating?" The three women nodded frequently. Jiuyu smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask who is responsible for the ginseng soup every day?" ”

A maid dressed in royal blue clothes slowly raised her head, "Back to the princess, the slave is in charge." ”

"But you're in charge of cooking?"

"Yes."

"You are also responsible for keeping the herbs and ginseng?"

The little maid nodded, "Yes!" They are all kept by slaves and maidservants. ”

Jiuyu looked at the three little maids in front of her who were kneeling with low eyebrows, and couldn't ask why, so she asked them to bring the medicine jars and medicinal herbs for cooking ginseng soup. She sat in the cabinet and kept looking at the medicine jar, Bixiang and Red Sleeves stood aside, and the three minifigures looked carefully, "Could it be that you have done something on this jar?" ”

"No, miss, this hemp grass will only have a medicinal effect if it is boiled, and it must be in sufficient doses." Redsleeves took the medicine jar and said, "If you had done something here, it wouldn't have such an effect." ”

Jiuyu walked out of the pavilion, and the three maids were still kneeling in the hall.

"I have found out that this medicine jar has been drugged, no matter who it is, you have not kept it well, and you have dragged this person down to death!" Jiuyu looked at the woman in front of her coldly, the maid broke free like crazy, knelt in the hall and kept kowtowing, "Niangniang Mingcha, there is absolutely no problem with this medicine jar." ”

"I've found out that this is the problem, what are you arguing about? Drag it on! ”

"! It's really not a matter of the medicine jar! ”

"Then what do you say?"

"Yes...... It's ......" The maid looked at me timidly, "Yes......"

"If you don't say it, I'll still hold on to what I just thought."

"I say! I say! This is...... It was Mrs. Mei who told me to put those things in and cook them, and then give them to the girl who delivered the medicine, and I didn't know anything else, Niangniang...... Mother spares her life. ”

Jiuyu nodded faintly, and then smiled lightly, "Since that's the case, you can go back." ”

Bi Xiang looked at Jiu Yu strangely, "How did she recruit so easily?" ”

Jiu Yu sneered, "How loyal do you think she is, I have been in Murong Mansion for so many years, and I have seen a lot of such ungrateful things, but I am tired of it, as long as it involves her own interests, she will immediately leave her master behind." ”

"So Mademoiselle has come up with such a ploy? But how did the young lady know that it was Mrs. May who did it? Do you believe in Mrs. Cao's character so much? ”

"I don't believe Mrs. Cao, I think there is anma grass everywhere in this house, but only Mrs. Mei doesn't, what does this mean? So I think there's something wrong. Jiuyu picked up the cup on the table, gently scraped off the tea leaves on it, put it to her lips and tasted it gently.

The next day, Jiuyu lifted Mrs. Cao's grounding, let Mrs. Cao sit aside, and interrogated Mrs. Mei in public, she never thought that her henchmen would betray her. But what she didn't know was that Jiuyu found the maid's home that night and controlled her mother and brother, so the maid had no choice but to tell the truth.

Mrs. Mei was confined in her own room by Jiuyu, and although the truth was revealed, she would not be able to convict her until the prince returned. Jiuyu leaned on the couch, and Bixiang walked in with tea, "I didn't expect Miss to be an unscrupulous person." ”

Jiuyu smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that I used to be the most disgusting thing, but now I do it every day." ”

As soon as the words fell, Red Sleeves walked in, "Miss, Mrs. Cao asks to see you." ”

Jiuyu and Mrs. Cao sat in the side hall, and Mrs. Cao fell to the ground with a plop, "The princess is courteous and fair, this grace is as heavy as a mountain, from today on, if the princess wants me to die, I will not live." With tears in her eyes, Jiu Yu helped her up, "In this palace, there are very few people with pure hearts, I only hope that you and my sisters, don't have to give birth, Mrs. Mei is competitive and competitive, she should have given some lessons, not to mention that you are indeed wronged in this matter today." ”

"If the princess doesn't dislike it, I will follow me in the future, and I will have no complaints!"

Jiuyu and Mrs. Cao looked at each other for a long time, Mrs. Cao's eyes were so sincere, but at this moment, Jiuyu still couldn't fully trust her, after all, she had been in the filthy Murong Mansion for so many years, and she was used to seeing those false faces, so now she was wary of everyone.

Mrs. Cao was originally the third lady of the Cao Guo Mansion, she was pampered, and her mother was the princess of Liangguo, how noble her identity was, but in a battle two years ago, her father and her brothers were all killed on the battlefield, and her mother also committed suicide because she couldn't bear such a blow. And Mrs. Cao has also changed from being flattered by everyone to cooking rabbits and dead dogs, seeing the scene of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it, she has long been accustomed to the deception in this palace, and she has been cowering and acting cautiously in the past two years. I'm afraid I'm tired, this time I was framed by Mrs. Mei and others, which can be regarded as angering her who has been swallowing her anger all along.

It's just that I don't know when the originally simple-minded person has become so scheming, and I don't know when Murong Jiuyu has also become good at observing people's hearts.

After some investigation, Jiuyu thought that in this palace, Mrs. Mei was available, not to mention whether she was kind to her, so she could be used for many years in this palace.

Jiuyu carefully took out the book "Luo Shen Fu" from under the pillow and opened it gently, she had read this book countless times, and at this time the red sleeves walked in, "Miss, the prince has a letter from home." ”

"Bring it quickly." Jiuyu hurriedly took the letter from Red Sleeves' hand. It reads:

Yu'er:

This time outside, the contact is inconvenient, and I don't know when this letter will arrive at the mansion, and now the plum blossoms in the yard should all have fallen, and the husband will return after a few months. On the day of returning home, you and I will also chant the magic of the god of Naluo together. Everything is fine on the frontier, don't worry about it.

Husband: Zisheng

These few short sentences were enough to make Jiuyu full of joy, and gently pasted the letter paper on her chest, as if there was still Su Zisheng's temperature on it, looking at the peach blossoms blooming outside the window, she had been in spring for a long time unconsciously. It's been about two or three months since the letter was sent.

"Lord Wang...... What did you say? Red Sleeves asked with a smile on his lips and a raised eyebrow.

Jiu Yu smiled slightly, "Lord Wang...... Soon the party will return. ”

One morning three days later, Jiu Yu got up early, and practiced calligraphy in the pavilion all morning, or the song "Luo Shen Fu", written thousands of times, but he was waiting for his husband to return.

"The prince is back!"

Hearing the sound outside, the brush in his hand fell on the table with a snap, and an ink dot was heavily printed on the snow-white rice paper. Jiu Yu couldn't care about the mess in front of her, rushed out, came to the door of the main hall, and the moment she stood at the door, she saw Su Zisheng, who was haggard and dressed in military uniform, it was the husband she thought of, Jiu Yu's tears were left along her cheeks, and she hugged Su Zisheng tightly, Su Zisheng's hands were wrapped around Jiu Yu's waist, with a doting face.

After a long time, Jiuyu gently wiped away her tears, and then stroked Su Zisheng's cheek with her hand, there was still green stubble on it, and it seemed that she had rushed back to Hezhou City all the way day and night.

The little guy next to the prince hurriedly said, "The prince has been traveling day and night, and he hasn't rested for several days. Just to hurry back home and see Niangniang. ”

At this time, Jiuyu noticed that in addition to the few small servants who went out of the house together, there were two people behind him, one was Pei Qianhao and the other was ...... She's never seen it.

"This ......," Jiuyu slowly walked towards the woman behind him.

"Go back to the princess and show the red silk in the Xia Kaifeng Mansion." The woman looked so heroic, she must be a general who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round. Jiuyu returned the salute and did not speak, at this time she was thinking in her heart, why did the second lady of Kaifeng Mansion follow Su Zisheng back to the house?

Su Zisheng's expression was a little abnormal, and even Pei Qianhao behind him didn't look up at her, she felt that something was wrong. Jiuyu didn't speak, and smiled slightly, "Changsheng, the prince is tired, serve him and go back to the room to rest." ”

"Yes!"

"Pei Gongzi has been running all the way, and he must have not returned to the house to see the two ladies. Today I will not have a son. Later, I will send Pei Gongzi home. Presumably, the two ladies are as eager as I am. After saying that, Jiuyu turned to look at the second Miss Zhan.

Jiuyu smiled politely, "The second miss came from afar, red sleeves, and took the second miss into the lotus hall to rest." ”
