100.The Queen Mother (2)

At first glance, Luzhu saw the green ring kneeling on the ground, and his face was shocked, so he looked at the dyed blue in horror. Even if the palace people didn't say anything on the way here, she probably understood what was going on, but she didn't expect the green ring to appear here.

The Queen Mother asked Imperial Physician Chen what kind of medicine Feng Ran Gong had grabbed from him, and Imperial Doctor Chen was very ignorant, saying that Feng Ran Palace had not come to catch the medicine recently. The Queen Mother was about to reprimand angrily, but she was first asked to take the fire and set up the pot to boil water. No one knows what this is for, the poisonous soup is already on it, and the pot at the bottom has obviously been washed with evidence of "destruction", so what does it mean to put water in it and burn it at this time?

In order to make Dye Qing die, the Queen Mother approved the proposal.

Soon the stove was set up, the pot was boiling water, and when the water boiled, Dye Qingmai took a step forward and said to Imperial Doctor Chen: "Imperial Doctor Chen, please please check that the water in this pot is poisonous." ”

Imperial Physician Chen's face changed, and after looking around at everyone, he took out the silver needle from the medical bag, and took it out after inserting it into the water for a while, and the silver needle did not turn black. Yurou couldn't help but speak: "Ning Ranqing, what can this prove?" The pot left in your phoenix dye palace has naturally been washed, and the toxicity has been removed. ”

Ran Qing ignored her, only looked at Imperial Physician Chen and asked, "What else has been measured on Imperial Physician's silver needle?" ”

Imperial Doctor Chen was stunned for a moment, picked up the silver needle again, and suddenly found that the surface of the originally shiny silver needle seemed to be wrapped in something, and he couldn't help but take it to the tip of his nose and smell it.

The Queen Mother also seemed to see the clue, and couldn't help but get up from her seat and take two steps forward, and asked in a deep voice: "Imperial Doctor Chen, what is on the silver needle?" When Imperial Physician Chen heard the Queen Mother's inquiry, he immediately turned around and bowed and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the old minister's silver needle was wrapped in a layer of yellow substance on its surface after just trying the water, and the old minister smelled it and found that it smelled like lotus seeds. ”

"Lotus seeds? Isn't it the Five Poison Powder? ”

Dyed blue eyebrows raised, and looked at Yu Rou, who spoke again, "Miss Yu Rou is very good at poison, and she also knows that what is in the soup bowl is the five poisons." ”

Yurou's eyes shrank, and she was a little stunned and didn't dare to speak.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and then turned back to ask the imperial doctor: "Why does the boiled water in this washed soup pot still smell of lotus seeds on your silver needle?" Imperial Physician Chen couldn't answer, and he didn't quite understand the reasoning.

"I'll explain." Dye Qing only spoke slowly at this time, "Earlier, the emperor was busy with government affairs, hard work and hard work, and his sleep was not very good at night, so I picked lotus seeds for the emperor and grinded them into powder to make tea to drink, but he thought that the lotus seed powder tasted greasy, so I had no choice but to take out the lotus heart oil in the lotus seeds bit by bit, and then drop one or two drops in the tea he drank." I heard that the Queen Mother also had trouble sleeping at night, thinking that since the emperor felt good about it, then give the Queen Mother a try, so every day before boiling the five-flavor soup, I would drip a few drops of lotus heart oil in the pot. Everyone also saw that this pot is a casserole, it is easy to make the soup delicious, and the lotus heart oil is embedded in the pot surface, even if it is cleaned, the decoction material can be washed, but once the oil is boiled, it will still leave an aftertaste. ”

Speaking of this, Dye Qing glanced at everyone and saw that whether it was the Queen Mother or Yurou, including everyone in the hall, they were stunned. I'm afraid they never thought that such a pot would have this kind of effect, and they didn't expect that lotus seeds could also be used to make lotus seed oil.

After feeling that the time left was enough for them to reminisce and understand the truth, she said: "Then now I have to ask Imperial Doctor Chen to test the poisonous soup next to the Queen Mother that night, there is an ingredient of lotus heart oil in it." ”

If even the pot has been washed, just boiling a pot of water can coat the surface of the silver needle with a layer of oil, then the real boiled out poisonous soup should be more able to detect the ingredients of lotus seeds.

Chess has come to this point, and it is no longer possible for the Queen Mother to stop Imperial Doctor Chen from going to the drug test in front of everyone. When the silver needle went down, it turned black as expected, causing everyone present to boo and sigh. But the focus of attention immediately shifted, and they all stared intently at Imperial Physician Chen, only to see that he shook his head after sniffing, and announced the answer: "There is no smell of lotus seeds." ”

This answer couldn't be clearer, the so-called evidence has lost its value, and the facts are showing: it was a bowl of soup that had been dropped, and it was a poisonous soup, and its intention to murder the queen mother should be punished, and he even wanted to harm the imperial concubine.

This is something that everyone present already understands, and the Queen Mother swept her angry eyes to the green ring that was still kneeling in the hall. As soon as Yurou saw this situation, she immediately saw the wind and shouted angrily: "Damn demon maid, dare to frame the noble concubine!" I think this five-flavor soup must also be made by you, not only want to frame the mother, but also want to poison the queen mother, and his heart can be punished. ”

Green Ring was horrified, shook his head desperately, and could only say, "No, no." But where is there anyone to listen to her, the Queen Mother shouted: "Drag it out and kill with a cane." "Immediately, someone from the palace came up to drag people.

Ran Qing's heart was shocked when she heard the word cane, although she knew that the black cauldron of this matter would eventually have to find someone to carry it, and she also expected that the end of the green ring would not be good, but she still couldn't face this bloody reality calmly. The queen mother in that hall was majestic, and she didn't care about human life at all, and Yurou was even more for the tiger.

The green ring broke free from the palace and climbed to the feet of Dye Qing to drag her, and begged: "Niangniang, save the slave and maid, it is the slave and the maid who are wrong, please ask the maid to save the slave and maid in the face of the green bead." ”

Green beads? Dye Qing's heart sank, looking at the prostrate woman in front of her, these days they often talk and laugh in the Fengran Palace, like a family, where would they have thought that it would become like this overnight. Hanyu was also a little unbearable to look at from the side, but this green ring did frame Niangniang in front, if it weren't for Niangniang's wit, it was Niangniang who was now a prisoner and was executed, so she looked at it indifferently and didn't persuade Niangniang. Besides, in such a situation, the Queen Mother's orders from top to bottom can't be saved even if the mother has a heart.

But in the next moment, she saw Niangniang take a step forward, Ying Ying knelt on one knee, and her head that refused to bow just now was lowered at this time, "This maid is from the Fengran Palace, and I implore the Queen Mother to hand over this matter to the concubine." ”

With a cold snort from the Queen Mother, Yurou raised her voice and said: "Niangniang, although she is a person from your Fengran Palace, she is also the murderer who wants to poison the Queen Mother, so vicious and enchanting maid is not quickly executed?" ”

Dye Qing raised her head, ignored Yu Rou, and went to meet the Queen Mother's fierce gaze, and she read a lot of meaning from those eyes. Perhaps in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it is already her luck that she can flip over and protect herself today, and at this time, she still comes to care about the life and death of a servant girl, which is really beyond her strength.

But Dye Qing still asked word by word: "What if I can prove that she is not the murderer who poisoned the Queen Mother?" ”

There was silence on the field for an instant, no one thought that Dye Qing would say this, and after a pause, the Queen Mother spoke: "How do you prove it?" Yurou was shocked: "The Queen Mother's ......" was stopped by the Queen Mother raising her hand, "The mourning family wants to see how Qing Guifei can turn her hand over for Yun and be a maidservant girl to prove her innocence." ”

Dye Qing got up from the ground, "Is it true that the concubine proves that the queen mother can hand her over to the concubine?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the green ring on the ground, and said lightly: "Since she is a person from your Phoenix Dye Palace, she will naturally be punished by you, the master of the Phoenix Dye Palace." As soon as these words came out, they were relieved, but no one seemed to believe that Dye Qing could find out the murderer who really sent the poisoned soup.

Dye Qinghuan glanced at everyone, fixed his gaze on the bowl containing the poisonous soup, and asked, "Are the utensils in each palace the same color?" The palace people stood up and replied: "Hui Niangniang, in order to distinguish the utensils of each palace is different, just like the accessories of the head of your palace are all deliberately patterned with cyan pear blossoms and engraved with the word 'green' at the bottom of the bowl." The Queen Mother's side is carved with the purple phoenix and the inscription 'De', and the rest of the palaces are like King Rui is engraved with the word 'Rui', the princess is engraved with the word 'Moon', and some palaces are not carved in advance because they have not yet settled in the master. ”

Obviously, this is a kind of distinction and classification of the palace utensils in the palace, Yurou came out on behalf of the Queen Mother and asked: "This bowl is carved with a cyan pear pattern, you don't want to pour out the poisonous soup to see if there is any engraving underneath." ”

Dye Qing shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, this palace only needs to confirm this." Now at this time, I might as well tell you that this palace has had a habit of cleanliness since childhood, so it pays special attention to cleanliness for this bowl. Therefore, the commonly used dishes will be soaked and disinfected with a detergent called Wugui and then put aside, which will produce a pungent smell when heated, so the dishes will be washed again every day before serving the five-flavor soup for the Queen Mother to ensure that there will be no residual detergent on it. ”

Everyone present looked at each other, obviously no one had heard of Wu Gui's name, even Imperial Physician Chen looked confused, and wanted to open his mouth to ask and look at the situation on the field and retracted his words.

Dye Qing paused for a moment and then said, "So if this person comes to the Feng Dye Palace of the main palace and steals the bowl, then her hands must be stained with this kind of detergent." Just call the palace people who served the Queen Mother this morning, smoke their hands with fire, and see whose hands will emit a pungent smell and who is the one who stole the blue and white bowl from the Fengzhan Palace of the main palace and put the poisonous soup. ”

This time, the entire Ningde Palace became quiet, and everyone was looking left and right at the people beside them, presumably the palace people who served the Queen Mother early this morning were here. Some people are even quietly looking at the hands of others, as if there will be some signs on them.
