627 The Poisoner
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
In the house, Lu Ruoqing was lying quietly, naturally not asleep.
When the imperial doctor talked about medication just now, Mrs. Liyang's eyes were not good, most of them were going to do something, but she didn't know who to find to do it or what to do.
But no matter what, the medicine or food in question had to be brought to her.
Lu Ruoqing smiled, then wait.
Anyway, there were Lou Yunting, Hong's mother and others outside, so she closed her eyes, recuperated with peace of mind, and waited to cheer up to deal with it.
After a while, a little girl said outside the door: "Lord Wang, the kitchen brought brown sugar ginger soup, saying that the eldest princess fell into the water and suffered from the cold, and drinking some ginger soup will ease up." β
Lou Yunting asked, "The medicine hasn't been fried yet?" β
The little girl replied: "Soon, when the fry is ready, I will be sent immediately." β
Lou Yunting took the brown sugar ginger soup in, glanced at Lu Ruoqing, and said, "You didn't fall asleep?" It just so happened that the girl sent brown sugar ginger soup, so drink it while it's hot. β
Lu Ruoqing smiled and nodded, "Okay." β
Lou Yunting put the bowl aside first, helped her up, and brought her a soft pillow to lean on, and said, "Although the weather is not cold now, there is cold in the pond, so it's better for you to go to the cold." β
Lu Ruoqing responded: "Yes, I feel cold in my bones." β
Lou Yunting handed her the brown sugar ginger soup.
Lu Ruoqing picked up the bowl, pinched the spoon, gently scooped a spoonful, and slowly brought it to her mouth.
The little girl stood nervously at the door, staring all the time.
An unknown smile flashed in Lu Ruoqing's eyes.
Lou Yunting saw her stop, and asked again, "Why don't you drink it?" Drink. β
Lu Ruoqing suddenly threw the spoon, "clang" crisply, frowned, and said: "I don't like ginger since I was a child, this ginger soup is a strong ginger flavor, and I am afraid that it will be more uncomfortable to drink in my mouth." β
Lou Yunting couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, "You, why did you suddenly become like a child." β
"I don't care." Lu Ruoqing deliberately said in a coquettish tone, and handed the bowl to him, "You taste it, see if this ginger soup is delicious?" If it's too bad, I won't drink it. β
How could Lou Yunting ever do such a thing to coax women?
However, thinking that the woman in front of her is not only her cousin, but also her fiancΓ©e, she naturally cannot be compared with ordinary people.
He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll taste it for you." β
Lou Yunting picked up the ginger soup and was about to drink it, but as soon as he brought it to his mouth, he saw the little girl rush up suddenly, and with a "snap" palm, she knocked over the ginger soup bowl!
"Whoa!" , Jiang Tang suddenly sprinkled Lou Yunting's body, and even the bed and bedding were sprinkled with a large wet mark.
Lou Yunting couldn't help but be annoyed: "What is this for?" Bastard thing! β
The little girl trembled with fright, knelt on the ground, but bowed her head and did not dare to speak.
Lou Yunting said angrily: "Speak! You ran up for no reason and knocked over the good ginger soup, are you crazy? If you don't speak, drag it out and fight! β
The little girl was so frightened that she was about to cry, and stammered: "The soup ......, the soup is specially given to the eldest princess to drink, and others can't drink it." β
Lou Yunting hadn't reacted yet.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be even more angry and annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I didn't really drink it, I just tasted it, and of course I still have to give it to the eldest princess later......"
At this point, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Lu Ruoqing pointed it out directly, and said in horror: "That soup ......, most of it is poisonous!" β
Lou Yunting immediately scolded, "Someone! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! β
Lu Ruoqing said: "No! You can't find out the truth like that. β
"And what are you going to do?" Lou Yunting asked angrily.
Of course, this anger was not directed at Lu Ruoqing, but at the person who drugged it.
Lu Ruoqing glanced at the little girl on the ground and said, "Let her go back and tell the people in the kitchen that the ginger soup was knocked over and I didn't drink it." β
"Huh?"
"After that, the person who poisoned him will definitely not be able to hold it back, and he will do it again." Lu Ruoqing hooked the corners of her mouth and sneered: "Cousin, as long as you keep an eye on the people in the kitchen and the people who boiled medicine for me, you will have clues." β
Lou Yunting's eyes flickered, and finally responded: "Okay." β
At this moment, he had already understood that his cousin had already discovered that something was wrong with the brown sugar ginger soup, and deliberately tricked him into drinking it, so that the little girl was confused and exposed flaws.
However, he also wanted to know who was behind the scenes.
Lou Yunting said coldly: "Do what the eldest princess just told me, and you won't die, otherwise your whole family will be buried together!" β
"Ahh The little girl was so frightened that she sat on the ground with weak legs.
Lou Yunting slowed down from the other party for a moment, then stepped forward and picked it up, dragged it outside, found a confidant and gave a few close orders, and then let the little girl leave with the tray.
The little girl was soon back in the kitchen.
Her mother greeted her and asked, "Celestia drank it?" What about bowls? Why didn't the bowl come back? β
The little girl shook her head again and again, "No! The eldest princess said that she didn't like ginger the most since she was a child, didn't drink it, and knocked over the bowl and broke it. β
The mother's face sank when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth and said, "She has a lot of bad things!" One out and one out of the other. β
The little girl lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
The mother turned around and left, stared at the little girl who was boiling the medicine, and said, "Is it done?" Come on! β
"Alright, alright." The girl who boiled the medicine quickly poured out the medicinal juice.
The mother went out with the medicine bowl, first went to the vacant small firewood room, added some ingredients to it, and then found the little girl who had just given the brown sugar ginger soup, and said, "Take it, this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, don't let the eldest princess lose her temper again and knock it over." β
The little girl looked at the medicine bowl in fear and didn't dare to pick it up.
The mother couldn't help but get angry, "Let you take it, what are you doing stupidly?" I want to be beaten. β
Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of people suddenly rush in.
Someone stepped forward and grabbed the medicine bowl and handed it to the imperial doctor, telling him to examine it carefully.
Someone tied the mother's hands and gaged her mouth to prevent her from suddenly biting her tongue and committing suicide.
All of this happened so suddenly.
The mother didn't react at all.
When she calmed down, the person was already controlled and couldn't move, and her heart was naturally cold in an instant.
Do you still need to ask? Something must have happened.
The imperial doctor had already checked the decoction and replied truthfully: "There are seven days of dispersion in it, the name sounds very ordinary, but it can make people vomit and diarrhea for seven consecutive days, basically ......, and finally die." β
The commander who was ordered to come over to arrest people immediately took his mother and the imperial doctor back, and everything returned truthfully.
Lou Yunting said coldly: "Torture!" Let the perpetrator confess the master behind it. β
That mother is just a backhouse woman, where can she afford to extort a confession by iron-blooded means of words and deeds, but after a few clicks, she poured beans into a bamboo tube is all tricks.
"It's Master Hou! It was Master Hou who asked me to do this, and the slave was also forced. β
"Take the people down first, and keep them alive!" Lou Yunting closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and ordered: "Immediately send someone to arrest Liyang Hou, and send the two witnesses to the prison of the Criminal Department for interrogation." β
"Yes." The commander of the guards was about to leave.
"Wait." Lou Yunting is a decisive character, and the moment of entanglement just now has already made a decision, "Send Liyang Hou to the prison of the Criminal Department, immediately interrogate him in words and deeds, and be sure to sign and draw the confession before the Queen Mother interrogates him." β
The commander of the guards responded, "The subordinates understand, the prince just rest assured." β
The group went out neatly.
Lu Ruoqing frowned slightly.
She originally thought that the mastermind behind the scenes would be Mrs. Liyang, but she didn't expect it to point to the Marquis of Liyang.
In other words, Mrs. Liyang is very difficult.
obviously wanted to harm her, but he refused to come forward to do it himself, and did not hesitate to push her husband out to make a knife, and he would definitely say that he didn't know about it when he turned around.
Lu Ruoqing's heart sank slightly.
It seems that this Mrs. Liyang has to take more serious precautions.
"Nian Yao, it's okay." Lou Yunting comforted her.
Lu Ruoqing sat up and said, "Wait until the arrest of Liyang Hou will definitely be a chicken, a dog will jump, and Mrs. Liyang will also cry to you, I really don't want to be caught in the middle and be embarrassed, you can send it back first." β
Sending her back is also to take Lou Yunting away and not give Mrs. Liyang a chance to intercede.
Lou Yunting weighed it and responded, "Okay, I'll send you back first." β
---- he didn't want to see his mother crying.
Sure enough, after they left, the Liyang Hou Mansion immediately jumped with chickens and dogs.
Mrs. Liyang never thought that the matter would be revealed so quickly, and her son was so ruthless that she wanted to arrest her husband, so she immediately rushed over to cry and plead, but she pounced.
The Marquis of Liyang was taken away directly by the regent's guards.
And Mrs. Liyang didn't know that the Marquis of Liyang was soon sent directly to the Criminal Department, and immediately tortured to extract a confession, confessed to the fact that he had people poisoned and murdered Princess Ningguo, and signed and detained.
At this time, Lu Ruoqing's carriage had just slowly driven to the princess's mansion.
She was extremely weak at the moment, and Lou Yunting faced his fiancΓ©e, so she naturally got out of the carriage with her arms.
Lu Ruoqing had sharp eyes, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xiao Shaoxuan standing at the door.
Her body moved unnaturally.
Lou Yunting said in a low voice: "Don't move, beware of falling." β
Lu Ruoqing said: "I'm fine, you let me down, I can walk by myself." β
"Don't make a fuss." Lou Yunting was used to being the master of others, he felt that his fiancΓ©e was very weak, so he was naturally not used to her, so he directly hugged him and entered the door.
Lu Ruoqing lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Shaoxuan's face at all.
One, I don't know how to face it.
Second, I am even more afraid that Lou Yunting will find out that something is wrong.
But......
Xiao Shaoxuan didn't make any movements strangely, and stood quietly, as if the woman walking in front of him had nothing to do with him.
No one saw it, his hand in his sleeve was pulled into a fist, and his nails were deeply embedded in his palm, and he actually pinched his palm alive and bled out.
His heart is also dripping with blood.
I can't wait to rush up and ask the woman, "Why did you let other men hold you?" It's crazy. β
