The clear moonlight poured down uncoveredly, and the hazy clouds hung like a looming veil in the night sky. The night is like a huge net, closing the entire sky, just to wait quietly and peacefully for the dawn to come.

There were bursts of grief in the delivery room, which made people's hearts frown. Jing Yu sat on the chair and drank tea over and over again, just to calm down his helpless and nervous heart, while Mu Xuefu kept pacing in front of the door, lying on the crack of the door from time to time to look inside. Although she has her sister's promise, she still can't really feel at ease.

Jing Rong saw that she had been standing in front of the door for an hour, completely ignoring that she was also injured, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so she got up and walked next to her and comforted: "Xuefu, Princess Rui will be fine, you can rest assured." You've been standing here for a few hours, can you sit down and drink some water? ”

Mu Xuefu was indeed a little tired, but because of the high level of tension, she couldn't relax, and she couldn't sit down at all. She shook her head, leaned on Jing Rong's shoulder, and there was a slight hoarseness in her voice, "I can't go in to accompany her anymore, so you let me stand here." ”

couldn't persuade her, Jing Rong was worried about her body, so he had to stand with her.

After touching a stick of incense, Wen Po's brows were already loose when she came out, and she was blessed with a little smile, "The fetal position is already correct, and this child is giving birth." Princess Rui drank the decoction prescribed by the divine doctor and gained strength. She asked the slave to come out and tell the prince and Princess Chen, so that you can rest assured. ”

Jing Yu heard Wen Po say this, and his heart was already relieved, his face eased slightly, and he said happily: "Now this king is at ease, but I don't know how long it will take?" ”

Wen Po hurriedly smiled and said: "Please rest assured, as long as the fetal position is correct, Princess Rui will definitely give birth to a healthy little son to the prince in a few hours." ”

Mu Xuefu's heart was relieved and she exhaled deeply, but her heart was still in her throat. He waved his hand and said, "You go in and serve the princess, and tell her that we are all at ease." ”

After Wen Po entered, Jing Rong said: "Since you are at ease, is it okay to sit down and wait?" ”

Mu Xuefu did feel tired, nodded, and sat down on the chair by Jing Rong to wait, but her eyes were always fixed on the door of the delivery room, as if she could see the scene inside through this door.

As if waiting for a lifetime, there was a faint cry of a baby in the delivery room, although it was not loud, but it was like a ray of sunlight breaking through the darkness of never day and night, bringing joy to the house.

Wen Po was the first to come out of the room, holding the newborn baby, and blessed her body and said: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, the princess gave birth to a little son for the prince." ”

Jing Rong took the child, his face was full of joy, and he said happily: "Okay, good, come here, give a reward to Wen Po and the imperial doctor." ”

Mu Xuefu glanced at the child, the child was less than a month, thin and small, wrinkled, and had not opened his eyes yet, but he was very well-behaved, did not cry or make trouble, and stayed quietly in Jingyu's arms to sleep peacefully. Mu Xuefu looked at him, her heart seemed to be softened, and she hurriedly asked, "How is Princess Rui?" ”

Wen Po was blessed again, and said with a smile: "It's all good, it's all good, Princess Rui has been tossing for so long, she is very tired, and now she is asleep." ”

The stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground, Mu Xuefu let out a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good, I won't go in and disturb." After a pause, he frowned for a moment, and said to Jingyu: "Even if I have fetal gas because of my business, how can I suddenly give birth prematurely?" ”

"That's because someone gave her an oxytoc." Jiang Yueyao walked out and just heard Mu Xuefu's words. She rolled up her sleeves and glanced at Jing Yu with a lazy gaze like a cat, "I checked for Princess Rui just now, and she has a residual oxytocic in her body, I'm afraid that someone has replaced the tocosphetic with an oxytocic drug." ”

"Oxytocics?" Jingyu's face was black with mountain rain coming, and his sharp eyes were directly on Wanxi, who was serving Mu Yurong on weekdays, and there was a faint anger in his voice, "You serve the princess on weekdays, how can this tocolytic pill become an oxytocic drug?" ”

Wanxi hurriedly knelt down and shook her head again and again, "It's all useless slaves, but slaves really don't know how this medicine can be replaced with oxytocic medicine." ”

"Who's been decocting the medicine all along?" Mu Xuefu rolled her eyes slightly and asked.

Wanxi Wanru They have been serving Mu Yurong since they were children, it shouldn't be them. Besides, the master and the maid are connected, if something happens to the master, they don't even have a place to live.

Wanxi replied: "It has always been the slave maid who decocted the medicine herself, for fear that someone would have the wrong idea to murder the princess, from taking the medicine to decocting the medicine to serving it to the princess to drink, she never pretended to be anyone." But the slave and maid have followed the princess for many years, not to say that they are sisters but not much different, how can the slave and maid do the murder of the princess and the little master? ”

Mu Xuefu nodded, she believed what Wanxi said. said to Jing Yu again: "I believe that if Wanxi says, she will not do anything harmful to her sister." But this medicine" hesitated and looked at Jiang Yueyao, "Do you have any other discoveries?" ”

Jiang Yueyao stared at her and said, "I just found out that she took oxytocic medicine, but if you want to confirm it further, you also need to look at the residue of the medicine she has drunk." She glanced at Wanxi lightly, "Is the medicine jar for your decoction still today?" ”

Wanxi nodded and said: "In the small kitchen, every day the slave maid will clean up the medicine jar after the princess finishes dinner, and today the princess has a seizure just after eating, so the slave maid has not had time to clean it up." ”

Jiang Yueyao nodded and said, "Show it to me." ”

Soon Wanxi brought the medicine jar, Jiang Yueyao poured out the residue in the medicine jar, gently rubbed it with her hand, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it carefully, frowned, and said, "This medicine is a tocolytic, and it has not been replaced." But I just checked the pulse of Princess Rui many times, and there are clear traces of oxytocic drugs in her body. If I'm not mistaken, she should have used it for a few days. Although the effect of the drug is mild and it will not attack immediately, it only needs to be eaten a few times, and it will inevitably be born prematurely. She raised her eyes to look at Jing Yu, then looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, sighed, and said, "The person who uses poison is cautious, and he does not use the drug with domineering oxytocic drugs." But it is even more vicious, because a single oxytocic drug may save the life of the fetus, but adults are safe. But if you use it a few times, although the dosage is small, it will accumulate in the mother's body at any time, and it will kill two corpses at any time. ”

Jing Yu's heart sank, and the hand holding the child tightened. looked at Wanxi, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Since it's not a matter of medicine, you can get up first." ”

Wanxi slowly stood up, her eyes filled with tears, and looked at Jiang Yueyao and said, "Please also ask the doctor to catch the murderer of my princess." ”

Mu Xuefu's eyes stayed on the medicine residue for a moment, frowned, and said, "Since it is not a matter of medicine, could it be that someone has done something in the meal?" Turning his head to look at Wanxi, "Is the meal that the princess used still there?" ”

"Yes, before I had time to clean up the princess, no one had the heart to clean it up, so I was still there." Said gracefully.

Jiang Yueyao bowed her head and said, "Then take me to take a look." ”

In less than a stick of incense, Jiang Yueyao returned, looked at Jing Yu and Mu Xuefu and said helplessly: "The food is not adulterated. ”

Mu Xuefu sighed softly, her mind was full of thoughts, her eyes glanced at random, and she happened to see the medicine bowl on the table that had not been drunk, her heart moved, she stepped forward and picked up the medicine bowl, smelled it carefully, and said with a snort: "You come to see this medicine bowl, I smell how there is a strange smell." ”

Jiang Yueyao's eyes flashed, she sniffed, the corners of her mouth hooked, and said, "It's really a delicate method." Looking at everyone's confused eyes, he explained: "The medicine used by Princess Rui is guarded by her cronies, so it is difficult to start. If my guess is correct, Princess Rui usually uses this medicine bowl to drink medicine, right? ”

Wanxi nodded and said, "Yes, the princess likes the pattern on it, and said that it won't be so bitter to look at this pattern and take medicine." ”

Jiang Yueyao snorted lightly, held the medicine bowl on the palm of her hand, and said ghostly: "Some people just use this bowl to take advantage of it." ”

Mu Xuefu suddenly realized, took the medicine bowl from her hand, and said, "Could it be that someone smeared the medicine on the bowl, so as long as Sister Rong drinks the medicine, the medicine on this bowl will penetrate little by little?" ”

Jiang Yueyao shook her head and said, "What you said is too simple, this person who is drugged is much more elaborate than you." It takes a lot of effort to wipe it on the wrist, and it is easy to be noticed. ”

Jing Rong watched the two of them walk so close, a trace of displeasure rose in his heart, he walked between the two and forcibly inserted it, blocking the distance between the two, "Then you can tell me how this poisoner did it." ”

Jiang Yueyao smiled lightly and said, "If my guess is correct, this bowl is not the original bowl used by Princess Rui at all, but someone made another one as it was, but this new bowl took some effort." After glancing at everyone's puzzled looks, Jiang Yueyao bypassed Jingrong and took back the bowl from Mu Xuefu's hand, smashed it at once, picked up a piece of porcelain and crushed it into powder, and then gently twisted it with his fingers, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and said: "As I expected, someone added medicine to the material when making the bowl, and it takes some time to cool the tocolytic medicine when it is poured into the bowl, and in this process, the medicine on the bowl will seep into the tocolytic." ”

When Jing Yu heard this, his chest was like a stone blocked, and it was like a raging fire burning under the stone. He looked down at the sleeping child, and hated the person who drugged it in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The person who can know Rong'er's habits must be from this courtyard, otherwise he won't know her preferences, let alone replace the medicine bowl unconsciously." Then he commanded: "Yuanyang, you search all the things of everyone in this courtyard, and carefully check to see if there is anything suspicious." ”

Jing Yu hugged the child to the nurse who had been invited a long time ago, and said in a threatening tone: "Take good care of Xiao Shizi, if there is a slight mistake, this king will never let you go." ”
