When everyone was at a loss, the hero who provided or created clues to Song Yan and others, who had no clue, was not an outsider, but a small maid waiting in the main courtyard.

This little maid's name is Bai Lan, and she is a first-class maid in the main courtyard, and she has just been promoted. She is one of the newcomers who came over at the beginning of the year, because she is diligent and doesn't talk much, she is considered top-notch among the newcomers, and soon became the focus of Bai Lu's training. Today, Beiyan accompanied the princess into the palace, and Bai Lu also wanted to be a director, dealing with the mother-in-law and others who bought it, and the responsibility of staying in the main courtyard to take care of the house was handed over to Bai Lan.

It's just that this little girl is so young that she hasn't gone through a major event, and she was almost frightened when she saw Gonggong Song searching like this. finally coped with the past, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that Song Gonggong and the others had killed again, and the degree of scrutiny this time was more than double that of Fang Cai.

So, the little girl was even more panicked, and when she accidentally shook her hand, she knocked over the tea that was going to be given to Imperial Doctor Xu and Gonggong Song, and it was precisely when these two people were flipping a local book in Xinuan Pavilion, that is, Princess Pei's small study.

The tea was still hot, and the droplets that splashed from the ground inevitably fell a few drops onto the nearest page, wetting a few corners.

Before Song Yan could get angry, Imperial Doctor Xu next to him jumped up in surprise, grabbed the panicked Bai Lan and asked urgently, "Where did you get this tea?" What kind of tea is used? ”

Seeing this, Song Yan was a little suspicious: "Didn't Fang Cai check the tea?" ”

Bai Lan knew that something was wrong, but she was sitting up straight, and although she was panicked, she reluctantly answered, which could be regarded as solving Song Yan's doubts.

"Tea is the usual Biluochun, although it is a tribute, but the princess thinks it is turbid, usually I don't like it, it is used to entertain guests. Or sometimes when you want to refresh yourself while reading a book, you will also use this tea. Before, the tea you always checked over there was used by the princess this morning, that is cloud tea, mellow and sweet, and the princess loves to use it the most. ”

As he spoke, he also called someone to take a whole jar of Biluochun and hand it over to Imperial Doctor Xu for identification.

Imperial Doctor Xu held the wet book in one hand, pinched the tea leaves in the other, twitched his nose, sniffed his left hand carefully, and then sniffed his right hand, and then carefully licked a small sip of the tea leaves and the pages, and then immediately spit it out.

"Sure enough, there are ghosts! No wonder I couldn't find it before, so it was! ”

Song Yan and Bai Lan, who were looking strange on the side, suddenly had the same thought in their hearts, the medicine maniac in the hospital was really terrifying.

Song Yan couldn't care less about emotion, and hurriedly asked: "What does Imperial Doctor Xu mean, what is this called Youtan's poison in the tea?" I don't know if it was mixed with medicinal powder, or it was soaked in medicinal solution or smoked with medicinal herbs? ”

Imperial Doctor Xu shook his head, "Definitely." There is indeed a poison in this tea, but it is not Yutan. After pondering for a while, he added: "It can be said that it is a semi-finished product of Youtan." Moreover, it's not just the tea that is the problem~"

"Is this book also ......?"

Imperial Doctor Xu bowed his head solemnly: "Exactly." The person who poisoned the poison was very clever, and even separated the different ingredients in a few places, mixed the tea with strychnine and other things, and most of the pages of this book were smeared with colorless and odorless serpentine juice, but the whereabouts of the seven-star flower ......"

Song Yan recalled the description of Imperial Doctor Xu and rubbed his hands: "You said that the Seven Star Flower has the strongest taste, I don't know what this smell is?" Is it fragrant, or does it stink? Or is it fishy, sweet, or spicy? ”

"It's probably a little sweet, but it's also very light. If you don't have a sensitive nose, you can think of it as almost nothing. Imperial Doctor Xu's nose twitched again, and he pointed at Bai Lan and said, "It's somewhat similar to the fragrance on this lady's body." ”

These words frightened Bai Lan a lot, and when she was about to plop down and kneel down to shout grievances, Imperial Doctor Xu added slowly: "But it's not like this, Gonggong Song can follow this direction to help find it." ”

Song Yan, whose eyes had suddenly become sharper, withdrew his gaze, but occasionally swept over Bai Lan with a strong sense of caution and doubt.

"The things with fragrance are nothing more than rouge gouache and hair oil used by women, plus those sachets and incense, haven't we all looked for them? Besides, there are no flowers and plants in the princess's house. ”

Imperial Doctor Xu sighed, "Yes, maybe I can't cultivate at home, and my eyes don't have the viciousness of my master." If he had come, he would have been found by now. As he spoke, he ordered the medicine boy to put away the books and tea, and asked Bai Lan to lead the way, leading them to the princess's bedroom to rummage through again, and "unintentionally" asked about the specific scope and content of the princess's daily activities in the mansion.

Bai Lan was very frightened.

As a first-class maidservant in the main courtyard, she can be said to be the first person under Beiyan, and she is usually responsible for the princess's daily living things with Beiyan, but she can't even notice the abnormality, and she can't escape the blame for letting these poisons mix in. Not to mention, today's tea and fragrance were pointed out by Imperial Doctor Xu one after another, which scared her almost to the point of not giving up, and she was extremely worried that she would be involved in the end of the investigation, and even be used as a scapegoat.

Although Gonggong Song hadn't said anything yet, she clearly saw that among the people who followed Gonggong Song, the extremely important steward Fang had retired at some point, and it must have been the person who handled the tea and books of the secret investigators. From purchasing, transportation to daily cooking, there are many people involved, and Bai Lan herself is one of them.

If you want to get rid of the situation of being questioned by Gonggong Song, it is absolutely impossible to stand so stupidly, you have to think of a way!

Bai Lan felt that her brain had never turned so fast as it was today, and while she was dealing with Xu's questioning, she listened to the conversation between the two talking about the flowers and plants in the house, and she actually had a flash of inspiration, and an idea popped into her mind.

"That's right! Gonggong Song, did you ask someone to search the garden, what kind of Seven Star Flowers? ”

Song and Xu turned their heads together, and their expressions changed.

"What do you mean......"

Before he finished speaking, Imperial Doctor Xu's eyes widened: "Yes, that Seven Star Grass is indeed a flower that blooms in this season, it is really blinding...... Could it be that this thing is planted in the garden of the house? ”

Bai Lan hurriedly explained: "That's the case, although the princess doesn't usually like to go out and walk around, she doesn't like to socialize with people. But because Xiao Shizi has grown up fast recently, the princess muttered in private, saying that Xiao Shizi is too obese and needs to exercise more to lose weight, and so on. Whenever the little prince came back from school, if there was still some time before dinner, the princess would take the little prince to the garden for a walk. The slave is not proficient in flowers and plants, and she doesn't recognize the Seven Star Grass that the Imperial Doctor said......"

Before she could finish explaining, Song Yan understood, a look passed, and the two people behind her were ordered to leave.

Imperial Doctor Xu's reaction was half a beat slower, "Eh, I said those two little brothers, do they recognize what the Seven Star Grass looks like?" Then he urged the medicine boy, "Go quickly, catch up with them, and save yourself all your hard work." The medicine boy responded, but Song Yan was a little surprised: "I was too anxious, so I made Imperial Doctor Xu smile." ”

The two of them were polite to each other, and with Imperial Doctor Xu as the leader, they plunged into the pile of fragrant rouge gouache, not only used by Pei Baoer, but even every maid in the main courtyard turned it out and checked it again.

For a time, not only were people panicked in the main courtyard, but all kinds of things were also in a mess.

When Pei Baoer was sent back to the palace in a daze, she was still thinking about the poison in her heart. When she heard Qi Heng order someone to get up, she struggled to protest. Xindao, didn't she say that the poison was in her daily living place, in this case, what would she do when she went back, she simply took her son to another village to recuperate.

Qi Tan's little fat man didn't know before, and he was annoying him behind the emperor's cousin's buttocks, Pei Bao'er's dust settled, and after drinking the medicine, he was brought over by Qi Heng's order, and when he learned that his Ah Liang was suddenly sick, he couldn't help but pounce on her and cry, which made Pei Bao'er cry and laugh.

Qi Heng brought him over mainly to diagnose the pulse, although this little fat man followed him in the palace for half of the day, and he may have been contaminated with the poison. Adults can be poisoned for a few years, but children are weak, and they are afraid that the effect will be earlier.

Fortunately, several old ladies touched them one by one, especially Imperial Doctor Zhang touched them for the longest time, and finally came to the conclusion that Xiao Shizi was very lucky and had no signs of poisoning.

As for Qi Heng himself, he has already checked it, and there is nothing wrong with it.

When the eunuchs went to inspect the sachets of the female dependents, the Zhou court judgment proposed to ask for the pulse of the prince, after all, it is a precious body, and the health of the prince is related to the stability of the country, just in case, Yunyun.

While relieved, Qi Heng's heart was full of suspicion.

When she returned to the palace, the medicine that Pei Bao'er drank seemed to have some effect, and her body was not as cold and hard as before, and a faint warm current began to spread from her stomach to all directions, until her limbs and bones were enveloped.

Still, she struggled to open her eyes, blinking reluctantly, only to find that the dark tent above her head was unfamiliar and not her room at all.

She opened her mouth to shout, but her vocal cords were a little disobedient, as if she had been thrown into ice water for half a moon, hard and blunt, no matter how hard she tried, she only made some hissing sounds.

After a while, someone noticed her movements and shouted in surprise: "The princess is awake!" "It's the northern goose,

Pei Bao'er breathed a sigh of relief, and was thinking about how to communicate with Beiyan with lip language, and asked her to change her heavy clothes first. As a result, a shadow hung over her head, and it was a different person who came in front of her.

At a cursory glance, Qi Heng's appearance is similar to when he went out in the morning, wearing a complicated and expensive dress, coupled with that restrained expression that is not angry and arrogant, he looks like an emperor who came out of a painting. However, Pei Baoer didn't know if he was in a daze or his old eyes were dizzy, but at this time, he saw a little tenderness in his eyes, as well as two bright lights that disappeared quickly.

"You're awake."

A plain sentence, no emotions such as joy or sadness, as if she had not experienced this thrill, but just woke up from an ordinary dream.

If it was usual, Pei Baoer would have stabbed a few words back to her mouth, but when she heard his next sentence "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well", the idea of ridicule in my heart was gone, but another strange emotion slowly grew.

Resentment, grievance, and disappointment.

If it weren't for his arbitrariness and domineering, where would she have to go back to Beijing to suffer this crime!

Pei Bao'er glared at him viciously, then looked away, refusing to look at him.

Qi Heng stretched out his hand, but he stagnated in mid-air, and then, he just straightened Pei Bao'er's messy hair on his forehead, and did not make any other moves.

The slightly cool fingertips swept across her temples and forehead, and with the movement of broken hair, Pei Baoer only felt that his hands were itchy everywhere he went, and his heart was mixed.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter. You just take care of your life and recuperate, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Hearing this, she raised her eyes to look at him, with a hint of distrust in her eyes.

I saw that his eyes drooped slightly, hiding most of the emotions in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were tight, and he looked a little more cold and hard. Is that really what it is?

Pei Baoer snorted twice with all her strength to express her dissatisfaction and doubts.

Qi Heng didn't hear it, and asked her again: "Is there no strength in your body now?" Shall I help you up? ”

Although Pei Baoer was not very happy to be helped by him, it was better to sit up than to lie down, at least it was not so much like a zombie, so she blinked reluctantly.

It was only at this time that Qi Heng reacted in hindsight, Pei Baoer hadn't spoken since she woke up, she hadn't even moved much, and the way she communicated with herself was basically only a pair of eyes.

"You ......"

Pei Baoer rolled her eyes. Well, you're just now realizing it's wrong, right?

Now that she is aware of it, she quickly called the imperial doctor or the doctor to come in and show her what was wrong, would she be paralyzed by the poison?

Wait a minute, is this guy brainless, don't call people even if he doesn't call people, what do you still hold yourself and don't let go, and you still keep muttering in your mouth! Pei Baoer said that now she really doesn't want to listen to him confess her heart, she just wants to be cured!
