Chapter 868: Who Poisoned Someone
"There are blood swallows, wolfberries and some Ganoderma lucidum, all of which are good things to replenish the body, and the concubine got a recipe, saying that it is very replenishing qi and blood, and today I learned that the girl came, so I specially brought it over to the girl to taste."
Jiang Yao's peach blossom eyes bent, she leaned over, scooped up a spoonful with a small spoon, raised it and said in the direction of Concubine Mei: "Sister Concubine Mei, it must be very hard to do this, then please take a sip of Sister Concubine Mei first to show my respect." ”
Concubine Mei excused herself again and again, and said, "If the concubine dares to use such a good thing, let's drink it from the girl." ”
"Sister Meifei, do you look down on me? It seems that you can only let Brother Zhongli feed you. ”
Jiang Yao said this, she must have drunk it, Concubine Mei looked at Zhong Lixiu's cold eyes, with a sense of danger, her heart sank, how could he dare to let Zhong Lixiu feed her.
So she stepped forward, and Jiang Yao took the spoonful of porridge with an innocent smile. She watched Concubine Mei drink with her eyebrows lowered, her face was colorless, and Jiang Yao couldn't help but roll her eyebrows.
Isn't it her?
Just when Concubine Mei was about to swallow, Jiang Yao threw the spoon on the table, and said calmly with a small face: "Spit it out!" ”
Concubine Mei was shocked, this time she was allowed to eat, and the next time she made her vomit, which really made her lose face.
She frowned, the porridge was in her mouth, she had such a difficult feeling to swallow for the first time, and looked at the palace maid on the side coming over with a spittoon, still holding a handkerchief to cover her nose and spit it out.
Zhong Lixiu felt Jiang Yao's anger, thinking that she was a jealous concubine, but he was slightly happy in his heart, but he still said with concern: "What's wrong?" Not happy? Did she make you angry? ”
Concubine Mei wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief on the side, and said that she was suffering, but she was still a little sour in her heart to be treated like this. Ping'er behind her looked at Concubine Mei even more distressedly, and she had to come to deliver porridge and food kindly.
Jiang Yao leaned her body into Zhong Lixiu's arms, she stared at Concubine Mei with her eyebrows and eyes, and said in a light voice: "This porridge is poisonous." ”
Hearing Jiang Yao's words, Zhong Lixiu immediately slapped the table with his big hand and glared at Concubine Mei angrily, "Concubine Mei!" How daring! How dare you commit this sin against the Nine Clans! ”
Concubine Mei's face instantly turned pale and fell to the ground, her head was blank, and her body trembled and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare, even if they have a hundred guts, they don't dare to harm the girl." ”
Ping'er also immediately knelt down, prostrate on the ground, and said in a sincere voice: "Your Majesty, my mother really did not poison the porridge, the mother is going to save good things for a long time, stewed this porridge for the girl, and really hopes that the girl will be healthy." ”
"Then why is the porridge you sent over poisonous, you explain it to the widow!"
Concubine Mei looked at Zhong Lixiu in a daze, full of puzzlement and grievances, she bit her lower lip tightly, shook her head again and again, and said: "The concubine really didn't poison it, and the concubine suddenly wouldn't use the unbearable things in the harem for the girl." ”
Her words did not make Jiang Yao say anything, the smiling face still looked at Concubine Mei like watching a play, Concubine Mei's heart was desolate, "The concubine is really poisoned by her eyebrows, if the girl doesn't believe it, the concubine will drink the porridge clean." ”
After that, Concubine Mei picked up the porridge and was about to drink it, Jiang Yao sighed and stood up, and pushed Zhong Lixiu, Zhong Lixiu immediately got up and grabbed Concubine Mei's arm and snatched the porridge from her hand.
"You really didn't do it?"
Concubine Mei looked at Zhong Lixiu with tears in her eyes at the moment, and shook her head again and again, "How can the concubine move the person on the tip of the king's heart." ”
Jiang Yao took a silver needle from his sleeve and probed it in, and when he stretched it out again, it had already become jet black. She took the silver needle to show everyone, and Concubine Mei suddenly gasped when she saw it.
"Is it really poisonous? How could it be...... This is the concubine's own hands......"
"This poison has two flavors, one is arsenic and the other is safflower, it is really well-intentioned, either it is fatal or it is the body."
Jiang Yao's eyes looked at Concubine Mei inquiringly, and now she already believed that it was not Concubine Mei, otherwise she would not have drunk it. Concubine Mei's face was as pale as paper after hearing this, she staggered back twice, and was supported by Ping'er behind her.
Zhong Lixiu looked at Concubine Mei, his deep eyes were full of rage, he finally brought Jiang Yao to the palace, and it was only half a day before he encountered this kind of dirty methods in the harem.
"Concubine Mei, say! Why? ”
Concubine Mei's body trembled, and she recalled: "This porridge was boiled by the concubine herself, and she didn't fake it to others, and the concubine didn't know ......."
Ping'er saw that Concubine Mei was about to take on this responsibility, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, when we passed near the queen's bedroom, we were stopped by Aunt Changxia beside the queen, and she checked the porridge. ”
Zhong Lixiu suddenly understood, and said angrily: "Go and call the queen and the slaves and maids beside her." ”
Concubine Mei covered her chest with her hands, full of panic, her eyes looked at Jiang Yao intentionally and unintentionally, Jiang Yao bent her eyebrows and kept looking at Concubine Mei, smiling without saying a word.
After a while, the queen was helped by Changxia to walk in, and the queen glanced at Jiang Yao in the hall arrogantly, and it was indeed a beautiful embryo. She leaned over to Zhong Lixiu and said, "See the king, I don't know what happened to the king's concubines?" ”
Zhong Lixiu looked at the porridge on the table and said, "Concubine Mei, this porridge is very good, the queen and your slaves and maids should taste it." ”
The queen didn't understand what she meant, but she still stepped forward to taste: "Sister Meifei, it must be that you don't know how to boil such a valuable porridge, some of it is too hot, next time you have to light the heat and cook it slowly." ”
Jiang Yao looked at the queen with a smile and said, "Queen Niangniang, take a sip." ”
The queen looked at the people in the hall, and suddenly didn't know what they meant, so she thought about Chang Xia behind her and glanced at it, and shirked it: "Chang Xia, you are the best at Heng tune, you come and taste it, and give Sister Mei some pointers." ”
When Changxia saw the situation, he immediately panicked, stepped back again and again, and said in a panic: "No! No...... Slaves don't drink! ”
Jiang Yao smiled lightly and asked, "Why don't you drink it?" It's all good stuff. ”
"No...... Can't drink it. ”
The queen realized that something was wrong and immediately turned around, looked at Chang Xia, who was the most trusted, and couldn't help but slap it down, and said: "You cheap, the king and the palace want you to drink it, but you don't drink it, what kind of rebellious thoughts are you!" ”
Suddenly, Changxia was beaten and fell to the ground, she hugged the queen's ankles with both hands, and begged in panic: "Queen, the porridge that can't be drunk is poisoned." ”
The queen was looking at everyone's color, and suddenly reacted, she leaned down and grabbed Chang Xia's wrist, and roared angrily: "You have been with this palace for almost ten years, and this palace has taken you a lot, and you actually did this!" ”
Chang Xia trembled and shook her head again and again, Jiang Yao walked over, raised her other hand, looked at the residue of red powder between her fingernails, and said to Chang Xia: "The evidence is conclusive, don't you still recognize it?" ”
At this time, Concubine Mei was stunned for a while, and then her face turned red angrily and said, "It's you...... Why do you want to frame me? ”
As soon as the queen heard Concubine Mei's words, she was going to pull her into the water, and turned to Concubine Mei and said, "You lowly fox, don't talk nonsense!" Changxia was not instigated by this palace. ”
