Chapter 006: Who is the murderer

Yan Yuqing and Li Tan glanced at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Is it a plague or not? If it's the plague, you're in trouble!

Li Tan took her to a no-man's land and asked softly, "Are you new to the prince?" ”

The servant girl slowly raised her head and replied softly: "The servant is new to the prince's side. The old lady who had waited in King Yun's mansion was the daughter of Lin Yuan, the bookkeeper, with a single name. ”

In such a panic, he can also speak clearly in such an orderly manner. Yan Yuqing looked at Lin Yun, thinking that he was worthy of being trained by his ancestors.

Li Tan glanced at Yan Yuqing, stroked his chest and said, "Fortunately, it's a girl's person, so I'm relieved." Then he instructed Lin Yun: "This matter is very important, and the news of the Prince's Mansion must be blocked." I'll go find the Queen Mother first. ”

"Then I'll go see the prince first." Yan Yuqing was a little worried about Xuanyuan Jue.

Rashes are also taboo in the palace because of the risk of contagion.

When Li Tan heard that Yan Yuqing was going to visit, he didn't shy away from it, and his eyes turned red with emotion.

Yan Yuqing patted his hand and comforted: "They are all relatives, I will go to see the prince, and come back to tell my aunt when the time comes." When you talk to your aunt, be careful about her emotions. Today is her birthday, so remember not to let outsiders see it. ”

Yan Yuqing spoke eloquently, and her delicate words, like a spring breeze, soothed Li Tan's flustered heart.

In the prince's mansion, several old people in the Tai Hospital were discussing the prince's condition outside, and as soon as they saw Yan Yuqing, they said: "The prince's disease is not like the plague, but it seems to be caused by poisoning." Although the toxicity is not deep, it is related to the society of the country, and we still need to observe and observe. ”

Hearing what Lord Yang said, Yan Yuqing's hanging heart finally let go of a little, but what happened to the poisoning?

The prince's diet is served by a special person on weekdays, and he was suddenly poisoned, which is a bit strange.

Yan Yuqing called Jiang Nushi to attach a few words: "I discussed with the queen's mother, and tomorrow I invited the monks of Hongfu Temple to recite and pray for the prince." Today, they first sent someone to bring a pure heart drinking water, and gave it to the girls in the temple to drink it first, and go to get rid of bad luck. ”

"I want it too." Xuanyuan Jue hurriedly said: "The one sent by the senior monk is always good." ”

Yan Yuqing endured the corners of his mouth that were about to be torn apart, and said angrily: "Today, these are for the people below, and tomorrow you will naturally be indispensable." ”

The golden-painted red candles in the side hall reflected Yan Yuqing's blushing face, and she sat on the chair with a tortoiseshell inlaid with big red sour branches, calmly looking down at the group of maids and maids kneeling below.

"Hongfu Temple sent a pure heart drinking water today, please come and taste it, go to bad luck, and by the way, touch the fairy spirit of the old abbot." Yan Yu straightened his sitting posture, stared intently below, and continued: "The old abbot sent someone to say that the dark clouds in the Prince's Mansion are now shrouded, which is a bad omen.

"This pure heart drinking water is dissolved into a charm inside, and drinking it has the effect of driving away evil spirits and warding off disasters. It's just that Fu Shui is quite spiritual, and I heard that people with bad minds will have abdominal pain when they drink it. ”

While speaking, the maid had already come in with a wooden bucket and a bowl, Yan Yuqing waved his hand to everyone and said, "Go down and send it." I'm going to see the prince later. ”

After that, he left a group of servants and maids who were still kneeling and walked away. Jiang Nushi and Mama Li also left after explaining a few words.

For a time, in the spacious hall, only those who issued water and those who received water were left.

To drink or not to drink, it is all up to oneself.

Hongfu Temple has a high status in Beijing, because the old abbot is in retreat all the year round and does not ask about the world, these pure heart drinking water, the royal family is eager to exist. If it weren't for the fact that the foundation of the country had been framed, and even the abbot couldn't sit still, how could they, the palace people, drink it easily.

If you don't do something wrong, who wouldn't want to drink such a good thing?

In the prince's mansion, the imperial doctor had already gone back to decoct the medicine, and only a few attendants remained in the house.

Yan Yuqing walked to Xuanyuan Jue's bedside, saw his eyelashes that were still trembling slightly with his eyes closed, and said dissatisfiedly: "How long do you have to do it." ”

Xuanyuan Jue slowly opened his eyes and breathed a deep sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one around. Somewhat embarrassed, he pulled Yan Yuqing's wide sleeves and said, "Good cousin, how do you know?" ”

Yan Yuqing sighed, and couldn't help but reproach: "If you hadn't deliberately relaxed your diet, how could the person who poisoned him be able to successfully administer poison under the supervision of your secret guard." ”

"You dare to drink poison, do you want your body anymore."

Xuanyuan Jue listened to Yan Yuqing's words of reproach with concern, and his heart warmed. He pondered for a long time, and a haze swept through his eyes: "It's not that Ning Guohou yet, I have to do some concubine selection ceremony." said that the seventh miss of the Zheng family, Xiao Biluo of the Xiao family, and Ning Qiyue of his own family should be included in the shortlist. I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet, so I'll have to put it off for a while. ”

Before dinner, the prince's palace was already lively. Except for the maids and maids arranged by the Cui family of King Yun's Mansion and the queen's maid to enter the palace safely and soundly, many people had abdominal pain and frequently ran to the toilet.

There were, of course, two or three exceptions, who were now safe and sound, sitting in the ear room, waiting for questioning.

After Jiang Nushi took a lot of effort to interrogate, Yan Yuqing smiled disapprerovingly: "The road to succession is dangerous and unpredictable, it's better to be a rich idler." ”

"What the hell did you give them a drink?" In the prince's mansion, Xuanyuan Jue supported his somewhat weak body and asked curiously.

Yan Yuqing blinked his eyes and said incomprehensibly: "Croton." ”

"Poof" Xuanyuan Jue squirted out a mouthful of decoction, and looked at Yan Yuqing in surprise: "You are pulling the banner of Hongfu Temple and doing the trick of abduction, are you not afraid that the Buddha will blame?" ”

Yan Yuqing's phoenix eyes flickered, and he immediately showed a Buddhist smile, and said crisply: "I am punishing the evil and eliminating the evil, and the Buddha will know it." ”

After that, he looked at Qingzhu who came in a hurry and said: "I have already started to congratulate the gift, Li Tan asked the county lord to go over quickly, so as not to make the queen suspicious." ”

Yan Yuqing left in response to the sound and walked through a long road before arriving at Chengxiang Palace.

Orchestral silk bamboo, light singing and dancing, Chengxiang Hall is very lively.

The queen was smiling and looking at the people who congratulated her on her birthday one by one. When it was Yan Yuqing's turn, she held the congratulatory gift prepared in advance and stepped forward to say auspicious words of congratulations.

Wang Yanqing wore a small sunflower pleated skirt with a golden folded branch, the skirt was spread flat on the ground, and from a distance, it looked like a delicate pink flower.

The hairpin of the blood coral branch in her hand was as long as her hands, and the smooth surface shone with a moist glow, which was perfect for a happy day like today.

I heard someone on the side ask curiously, "What kind of jewelry is this?" It's like I've never seen it before. ”

"It's a bit similar to my coral bonsai, but it's not as red and big as the branches of this hairpin."

Seeing the surprised and envious expressions of the women present, the queen asked happily, "What is this, so good-looking?" ”

Yan Yuqing didn't take credit either, but said respectfully: "It was found on the other side of the sea by dragging people, there are not many of them, this is the most popular and largest branch." The rest has been handed over to the Liu's Golden House for inlay. ”

The queen praised with a smile in her eyebrows: "I have a heart", and asked Yan Yuqing to step forward and help her put it on herself.

With so many congratulatory gifts, this one is close to the queen's body, and it can be regarded as enough face for Yan Yuqing.

The red coral hairpin is particularly dazzling among the golden hair accessories, and the queen's complexion is also a little ruddy. All the women in the hall exchanged their heads and ears, and they were all talking about going to the Liu's Golden Mansion to have a look.

Yan Yuqing was very happy, it seemed that her remaining coral branches could be sold for a good price.

The queen deliberately arranged the girls in one place this time, hoping that they could play at will and not be detained.

After Yan Yuqing sat down, Xiao Biluo walked over, she handed over a box with a smile and said, "Sister Qing'er, open it and see if it's beautiful?" ”

Yan Yuqing opened the box curiously, and there was a pure gold bracelet inlaid with emeralds, rubies, and sapphires inside.

Xiao Biluo saw Yan Yuqing's face with joy, and continued to smile and said, "Brother said, this is for Sister Qing'er. ”

One sentence fell, shocking the four.
