Chapter 225: Deliberately Finding Fault
The sound of the rain had stopped, and it was already a thick twilight outside the attic, and a cool after-rain came to the face, mixed with the fragrance of the earth and the fragrance of the plants and trees of the Imperial Garden.
Tang Xiao returned to Chonghua Hall with Feng Junmo.
As soon as the two of them entered the hall with their front feet, Gonggong Li came in a hurry.
Looking at his face, it must be something important that has happened.
"Your Highness, the princess!" Gonggong Li said hurriedly.
"What?" Tang Xiao frowned.
"This heavy rain caused the villagers of Yuelai Village and Jiashang Village to suffer mixed casualties due to landslides, and the people sent by the emperor were still one step late!" Gonggong Li's face was solemn, "The emperor is worried now!" ”
"It seems that natural disasters are still unavoidable, and they can only be said to be fate!" Tang Xiao lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.
"But it's not possible to cause a landslide because of the next rain!" Gonggong Li was puzzled.
"Definitely!" Tang Xiao raised his index finger and shook it, "Gonggong Li, have you forgotten how many heavy rains have it been in a row recently?" And there was a rain that fell for a few days, and the mud and rocks on the mountain were softened by the heavy rain, as long as there was another heavy rain and a strong wind, it was easy to have an accident! ”
"I see!" Feng Junmo frowned.
"I see!" Gonggong Li nodded, looked at Tang Xiao with admiration, arched his hand and said, "Princess, the old slave is just here to bring a word, the old slave will retire first!" ”
Gonggong Li bowed his head again, and then retreated.
Tang Xiaomo rubbed his chin and walked to the couch in the side hall and sat down, Feng Junmo also came over and sat next to her, and between them, there was only a kang table.
"Don't think about it, you've done your best."
"Yes."
Tang Xiao nodded and didn't speak again.
At this time, Wanwan came in, and behind her, were two palace maids.
In their hands, they carried rectangular wooden lacquered plates, each containing three dishes.
"The princess, Your Highness, it's time to eat." After shouting in the evening, he ordered the palace ladies to put the food on the table in the front hall.
Tang Xiao answered, and went to the front hall with Feng Junmo.
"Feiyu, how is he?" Tang Xiao asked.
"He's fine, the slave has already boiled ginger soup for him to drink, I'm afraid of contracting the wind and cold, so I'll let him cover his sweat!" Late and late returns.
"Well, I know, stand down!" Tang Xiao sat at the table, and after serving her and Feng Junmo dinner in the evening, she retreated.
The food in the palace is naturally better than that in the palace, there is no doubt about it, but there are too many delicious foods, Tang Xiao is afraid of long meat, so she doesn't dare to eat more, whether it is yesterday or today's lunch, she only ate half a bowl.
I was about to use my chopsticks, but I found some milky powder on the side of the white bowl facing me. If you don't look closely, you really can't see that it's stained, because the color is so close to the color of the bowl that if you don't see some tiny particles, you won't notice it!
Frowning, she reached out and touched it, and when she touched it, there was indeed some fine powder on her hand, very fine, a little similar to the gray surface.
She put it under her nose and sniffed, and when she smelled a smell of medicine, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"Don't eat yet!" Tang Xiao stretched out his hand and stopped Feng Junmo.
Feng Junmo twisted his eyebrows and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Xiao didn't speak, walked to the dressing table, opened a drawer at the bottom, took out a box in it and opened it, then took out a silver hairpin and walked to the dining table, looking at Feng Junmo.
"I suspect someone was poisoned!" Tang Xiao's eyebrows sank, and there was caution in his eyes.
"What?" Feng Junmo's gaze suddenly sharpened, "Who is so bold that they dare to poison the food?" ”
Tang Xiao didn't speak, his right thumb and index finger pinched the top of the silver hairpin, and tried one dish at a time.
