Chapter 103: Exposed
The doctors were busy in and out of the main hall preparing the antidote, and Tian Yinqi waited for the report of the guards with a frosty face.
After a short time, the guard replied, "The king of Huiyu is indeed a strychnine." ”
Tian Yinqi pondered for a moment, looked at the little bun and said, "What do you say?"
Xiao Baozi immediately said, "Back to the king's words, I didn't know that the prescription was oil-boiled strychnine." If I knew, I wouldn't talk nonsense, I'm also worried about the princess's body. ”
Qin Yue suddenly said on the side, "You don't know that it's oil-burned strychnine, so how do you know the effect of oil-burned strychnine, and how do you know that oil-burned strychnine is not poisonous?"
Xiao Baozi was speechless for a while, "I'm ...... I don't know, isn't that what you guys say?"
Tian Yinqi didn't have the heart to listen to their arguments for a while, he was more concerned about when Ruyi's poison would be cured. Tian Yinqi ordered the guards to detain both of them first, and wait for their fate.
It wasn't until Ruyi drank the antidote in the evening that he slowly woke up.
The sky was dark, there was no light in the room, Ruyi vaguely looked at the curtain and seemed to be lying on his stomach, Ruyi picked up the veil and saw Xia He half-lying on her couch guarding her. As soon as Ruyi moved, Xia He immediately woke up, opened his misty eyes and said, "Miss, you're awake." Then he was about to get up immediately, but he couldn't get up, and sat back on his pedal with a "snap".
"What's wrong?" Ruyi asked with concern.
"My leg is numb." Xia He grinned and smirked, and then changed his face and looked like he was about to cry, "Miss, you scared me to death this time." ”
Nie Zheng had been sitting outside all the time, and when he heard the movement, he hurried in. At this time, he was standing behind Xia He, looking at Ruyi with a dark expression.
Ruyi looked up at Nie Zheng and pulled the corners of his mouth to smile at him with a soothing smile.
"Don't laugh, you're so ugly." Nie Zheng suddenly spoke, and after speaking, he turned his back and didn't look at Ruyi.
Ruyi scolded in her heart, this dead child dared to say that she was ugly.
As everyone knows, Nie Zhengzheng turned his back and wiped the two lines of tears left from the corners of his eyes.
Nie Zheng adjusted his mood before turning around and saying fiercely, "The day before, I said that I wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but I sent myself to the snake cave today." ”
"It was really an accident, and I didn't expect it to be so serious." Ruyi is a little embarrassed
Sidi said.
Ruyi looked at these two people who were worried about him, his heart warmed, and said, "Okay, I'm not doing well." As he spoke, he patted Xia He's shoulder and continued, "Let's try if my legs are numb, hurry up and report a letter to Brother Wang." ”
When Xia He heard this, he wiped his tears and stood up and went out.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ruyi seized the time to ask Nie Zhengdao, "What is the current situation?" ”
"You are poisoned by raw strychnine, Xiao Baozi said that he saw that there was strychnine in Qin Yue's decoction yesterday, but Qin Yue said that he used oil to burn strychnine, which is not poisonous. Qi Hou was furious and locked up both of them, waiting for them to fall. Nie Zheng said to Ruyi.
"This little bun knows a lot and is as careful as a hair." Ruyi said thoughtfully.
"yes, both of them have a lot of suspicions." Nie Zheng said.
"Nux has a bitter taste, a cold nature, and is easy to identify, but there was a bitter dish at dinner yesterday, saying that it is a seasonal dish of the moment, you go and ask the kitchen, who went to the kitchen yesterday, and why did you make bitter vegetables." Ruyi commanded.
Nie Zheng immediately turned around and left, just as Tian Yinqi hurried over.
"Brother Wang is worried." Ruyi looked at Tian Yinqi, who was worried, and said.
"You can frighten Brother Wang, leave the poisoning matter to Brother Wang. If you can't find it, you will kill them all, but you can't gamble with your life anymore. "After all, Tian Yinqi is the king of a country, a king who kills and kills, so he can talk about indiscriminate killing of innocents without any burden.
But she came from the modern era more than 2,000 years later, where there are sound and perfect laws, and no one has the right to deprive others of their lives for their own selfishness. A good young man who grew up under the red flag, Comrade Ruyi can't get over this cut in his heart.
"Brother Wang, don't worry about this matter, I'll handle it myself, I already have eyebrows, this time it's really just an accident." Ruyi shook Brother Wang's arm and said coquettishly.
Tian Yinqi looked at Ruyi, who was pale, and felt distressed in his heart, so he had to compromise and said, "You should recover quickly, if you are reluctant to kill, you will check when you are well." ”
"Brother Xie." Ruyi said happily.
Tian Yinqi sat for a while, then urged Ruyi to rest quickly, and after telling the doctor and the maid, he went back.
Ruyi was lying on the couch, and a pair of autumn water cut pupils reflected the layers of veils on the roof, like a cloud of mist.
Not long after, Nie Zheng came back and reported, "I have inquired, and the person in the kitchen said that Xu Sheng came in the evening." As for why there are bitter dishes, it is because the princess said that she wants to eat some seasonal dishes, which happens to be the seasonal dishes of the moment. ”
"Then what did Xu Sheng do in the kitchen?" Xia He helped Ruyi to sit up slowly, leaning on the brocade cushion.
Xu Sheng felt that he couldn't stand the princess in the daytime fight, and he was good at cooking some food, so he planned to make a meal to make amends for the princess. But seeing that dinner had already been prepared in the kitchen, he planned to make it again today, but today the princess had an accident. Nie Zheng listened to Ruyi according to Xu Sheng's explanation.
"It's getting more and more interesting." Ruyi hooked her lips and sneered.
"Go and call the man from the kitchen, and I'll ask you in detail." Ruyi said coldly.
At the hour of half burnt incense, Nie Zheng took a fat and thin cook into the Ruyi hall.
"Princess, people have brought it." Nie Zheng said majestically.
Nie Zheng rarely called her by name, and rarely called her a princess, every time he said it directly, and when he suddenly shouted, Ruyi was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Ruyi coughed before asking, "Kuding is not a common dish in the palace, let's talk about its origin, how did you think that Kuding is a seasonal dish at the moment." ”
The two knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads and tremble, and the thin man took the first step and said, "Princess, I really don't know, I heard what the fat man said." ”
When the fat man heard this, he immediately kowtowed and said, "It's really not me, I also listened to them." ”
"Don't worry, you speak slowly, who will you listen to?" Ruyi asked.
"That day, I overheard Xiao Baozi and Xu Sheng saying that they eat bitter vegetables at this time of year every year, which can be regarded as eating in accordance with the solar terms. The day before yesterday, the princess said that she wanted to eat some seasonal dishes, and I suddenly remembered what they said. ”
"Think about it again if I said it first or if they said it first."
The fat man was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, kept wiping the sweat with his hands, and then recalled seriously, "It should be ...... It should be the princess who said it first. ”
"Nie Zheng, you call Xu Sheng again."
After a while, Nie Zheng walked in with Xu Sheng, although Xu Sheng was a martial arts master, but he was indeed a scholar, a little wooden, he liked to study Confucian classics every day, with some pedantic atmosphere.
"Xu Sheng has seen the princess." Xu Sheng bowed.
"Xu Sheng, why did you remember to make me something to eat yesterday?" Ruyi asked calmly.
Xu Sheng thought for a while and said, "I usually like to cook something to eat, two days ago I made a jar of meat for everyone to eat, and everyone said it was delicious." The little bun said to me, why don't you make a taste for the princess. At that time, I thought that it was not a New Year's Day, and I would think that I was giving food to the princess. When I have the right opportunity, I will make it for the princess to taste. As a result, there was a fight yesterday. ”
"Then why did you and Goyama fight?"
"It's just a few words, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Okay, you can go back first." Ruyi looked at Xu Sheng and said.
"Princess, I ......" Xu Sheng hesitated to say something more.
Ruyi nodded and said, "I understand." Xu Sheng lowered his head and went out.
Ruyi asked Xia He to go down with the two cooks first. Then he looked at Nie Zheng and asked, "Do you have any side knowledge about the fight between Xu Sheng and Goushan." ”
"I have understood, Xu Sheng and Xiao Baozi are fellow villagers, and they often talk together, and that day somehow they talked about Goushan's hometown, and it happened that Goushan passed by, and when I heard that Xu Sheng was commenting on his hometown, it was a little pertinent, and Goushan turned his face on the spot." Nie Zheng recounted.
This time, Ruyi really laughed, "It's really a wonderful show." ”
Nie Zheng looked at Ruyi with some confusion, "Why do you say that?" ”
"In every of these things, there is a person running through it, who do you think it is?" Ruyi smiled at Nie Zheng and said.
Nie Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's a little bun." ”
"Yes, it's him, it seems that everything has nothing to do with him directly, but everything has something to do with him. Could there be such a coincidence? Ruyi said coldly.
"Didn't you doubt Qin Yue from beginning to end?" Nie Zheng asked.
"It's not that I didn't suspect it at all, but when Xiao Baozi started misleading me about Qin Yue, I became even more suspicious of Xiao Baozi." Ruyi thought for a while and said.
"Why would Xiao Baozi want to mislead you into Qin Yue?"
"Because when he was in the dense forest, Qin Yue smelled the smell of mixed medicine in the dense forest, it is estimated that Xiao Baozi was afraid that Qin Yue would find him at that time, so he wanted to push it on Qin Yue to get rid of him, which just happened to relieve my suspicion of him. It's a pity that the more deliberate he is, the more I doubt him. Ruyi said.
Ruyi had a good night's sleep that night.
Next, the interrogation of Xiao Baozi was handed over to Nie Zheng, and when one by one was placed in front of Xiao Baozi, he didn't want to admit it when he opened Xiao Baozi, and when all the evidence pointed to him, he had to admit it. But when he asked him to explain the person behind him, Xiao Baozi stopped talking.
Xu Sheng really stewed a bowl of refreshing white fungus pear soup and sent it to Ruyi, "Other foods are not suitable for the princess to eat now, I have consulted Brother Qin Yue, this white fungus pear soup is suitable for the princess to eat now, and it also helps to detoxify." ”
When Xu Sheng said this, Qin Yue stood at the door and looked at Ruyi, "The princess really didn't doubt me at all?" ”
"Suspicion is like a poisonous snake, it will only entangle you tighter and tighter, and in the end you can't even breathe yourself, so I only believe in the evidence." Ruyi looked at Qin Yue and said seriously.
