Chapter 578 Licorice

Han Changdu's heart sank, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Yao Qi was not flustered at all, but looked confident, and he smiled: "What did you do again?" ”

Yao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of the envoy." ”

Han Changdui snorted: "Sure enough, slapping horses is Yao's specialty in joining the army." ”

Yao Qi pursed his lips: "My lord's words are biased, and he will change the medicine to flour." ”

Han Changwan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed out loud, pointed at Yao Qi, shook his head with a smile, rubbed the corner of the paper, and secretly thought to himself.

According to Shi Dong's confession, she was sold into the palace of Annan County through the arrangement of the Four Holy Sects five years ago, and there were seven or eight girls who entered the mansion with her, but they were sold one after another, or died, and now she is the only one left, but she didn't know who was the same identity as her when she entered the mansion.

Han Changwei didn't think that Xie Liangmu only had Shi Dong's eyeliner in the Annan County Palace, and he didn't think that Xie Liangmu had been planning this matter since five years ago.

It is not easy to plan this matter, and it is even more difficult to find out the origin of the princess of Annan County.

At that time, even if the king of Annan was a prince who was not favored or valued, it was not easy to marry the remnants of the previous dynasty.

He must wipe the past of Princess Annan County clean and fabricate a suitable identity worthy of the prince for her again.

After all, the princess of Annan County married the king of Annan County as the daughter of the famous Gu family in Yangzhou.

It's also a coincidence, this Yangzhou Gu and the former Ming Emperor Gu are also a little close.

Therefore, for so many years, no one has doubted that the princess of Annan County has anything to do with Emperor Ming of the previous dynasty, although they are all the same "Gu", although they are related to each other, but after all, it is a very long time ago.

Xie Liangmao must have taken some effort to find out the old affairs of the princess of Annan County, he has coveted the treasure of Emperor Ming for a long time, and it is impossible to install Shi Dong alone.

Then, the Ruyu mentioned by Yao Qi has a suspicious identity, and it is very likely that Xie Liangmao inserted it.

In the vast night, the insects in the grass nest chirped intermittently, breaking the silence of the night lightly.

Han Changwan smiled and looked at Yao Qi precariously: "There was such a scene in the Annan County Palace, it is estimated that after dawn, the sage will announce my entry into the palace, and everything in the Annan County Palace will be handed over to you for the time being." ”

Yao Qi sneered: "Don't, how can such an important matter be handed over to me who can only slap horses?" It is more appropriate to Meng Zongqi. ”

Han Changwan looked at Yao Qi's smiling face, swept away the faint gloom in his heart, and said with a smile: "What, you still hold grudges." ”

Yao Qi pursed his lips: "This is a grudge, it is obviously afraid of ruining the errand of the envoy." ”

Han Changdui smiled bitterly: "Meng Sui has another errand every other time, and after I enter the palace, I have to deal with it carefully, I don't know when I can get out of the palace, only if there is no problem with the affairs of the Annan County Palace, I have no worries." ”

Yao Qi's expression was solemn: "The envoy can rest assured, the humble position must have taken a close look at the prince and the four beautiful pictures." She paused slightly, and her words changed suddenly: "But my lord, since the saint has planted more than one eyeliner in the palace of Annan County, how can the adult dare to take this risk and make such a big scene, he is not afraid," she stopped talking and looked at Han Changdu.

Han Changdui said solemnly: "It's okay, you just have to say." ”

Yao Qi sighed: "Then the humble position will be straightforward, the saint has been afraid of the military power in the hands of the Han Wangfu for a long time, and the envoy has interfered in the affairs of the Annan County Palace, so he is not afraid of arousing the suspicion of the saint and causing the disaster of the Han Wangfu?" ”

"You, are you worried about me?" Han Changdui pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, wanting to laugh, but he couldn't help it.

Yao Qi's face was as usual, and he seemed to be smiling: "I'm more worried that if the saint attacks you, will he be angry with us little pawns." ”

Han Changwan wanted to raise his hand to rub the top of Yao Qi's hair, but his hand was raised in the air, but he finally took it back, and smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, since I dare to do this, I naturally have the means to deal with it, and it won't affect you." ”

Yao Ji lifted his eyelids and looked at Han Changdui suspiciously.

Don't worry, she won't rest assured, there is no fire at the city gate, but there are still fewer things that have affected the pond fish?

Han Changwan pursed his lips and was silent.

Just when the two looked at each other and questioned each other, a servant girl hurriedly ran in, smashed to the ground with hot sweat on her head, and looked panicked: "Oh no, Shizi, Shizi can't do it!" Something happened to the son! ”

Han Changwan and Yao Qi stood up in unison and looked at each other in astonishment.

Could it be that the worst outcome finally happened?

Han Changdui said with a cold face: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

The servant girl was so frightened that she trembled, and she couldn't even speak, and replied tremblingly: "Shizi, Shizi, after Shizi used the antidote, his breath had stabilized, but, but after a while, Shizi vomited blood, and even his breath was weak, just, the house doctor saw it, said yes, said that Shizi is not good!" ”

Han Changwan and Yao Qi glanced at each other quickly: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

The Annan County Mansion in the middle of the night was supposed to be the quietest, the air was filled with fresh and humid moisture, and the scent of grass was more soothing than the fragrance of flowers, making people sleep peacefully and deeply.

But tonight's Annan County Mansion is no longer quiet, people are panicked, and no one can sleep. Something so big happened, and the prince's injury suddenly worsened again, and people up and down the house were worried about their future, and even life and death.

Han Changdui braved the heavy night dew and rushed to the front hall, and before he could walk in, he heard heart-rending cries and shouts.

"Son, son, son."

"My son, you, what's wrong with you, my son!"

Han Changdui and Yao Qi glanced at each other, and a sense of foreboding arose in their hearts.

Yao Ji chuckled in her heart, in order to test Ruyu, the reason why she dared to change the antidote to flour was that she was sure that Ruyu and those people behind Ruyu only dared to threaten the princess of Annan County with the life and death of the prince of Annan County, but they did not dare to really kill the prince of Annan County, otherwise she would not have given this kind of chronic poison that would only make people vomit blood and weaken, like a blunt knife cutting meat.

If you really want the life of the son, wouldn't it be easier and more troublesome to directly use the strong poison that seals the throat with blood, once and for all.

But now, listening to the princess of Annan County crying like her own father is dead, could it be that she made a mistake in judgment, these people are ruthless and reckless, and really killed the prince?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but panic, crossed Han Changdui, walked a few steps, and squeezed into the front hall first.

The front hall smashed a broken porcelain piece on the ground, and bypassing the partition door, the floor of the bedroom was even more in a mess, dark brown medicinal juice mixed with bright red blood, dripping all over the floor.

I don't know how many people have been in and out of this dormitory, and their messy footsteps are bloodstained everywhere, and it makes people's hearts palpitate.

Yao Qi's heart was pounding, how much blood had to be vomited to make the ground look like this.

She walked over nervously, and saw the princess of Annan County lying on the prince crying uncontrollably, deep and shallow tears leaked on the brocade quilt, and the brocade quilt in front of her was wet.

Her heart was about to jump out of her cavity, and she moved to the kang step by step, and looked at Shizi's face.

The face was as white as paper, the blood stains on the corners of his lips had not had time to wipe it off, it was already half-dry, and the blood stains on the placket and the brocade quilt were completely dry, and it looked hard.

His breathing was a little weak, but not so short that he would die in a short period of time.

Yao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and when she heard footsteps behind her, she turned her head and said, "My lord." ”

Han Changdui saw that Yao Qi's still calm expression and nodded slightly: "I'll take a look." ”

When the princess of Annan County heard the movement, she turned her head and saw Han Changdui, it was like seeing a god and Buddha, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Han Changdu's sleeve and begged bitterly: "Han Shizi, Han Shizi, save the world, please save the world." ”

"I will." Han Changdui pulled out his sleeves, comforted him, sat on the edge of the kang, stretched out his hand and put it on the wrist of the prince, his face was cloudy, and he was silent for a long time.

Yao Qi was also worried, and leaned closer, lowered his voice and asked, "My lord, how is it, should it really be finished?" ”

Han Changwan frowned tightly and shook his head slightly.

Yao Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shizi is fine, it's just that there are some problems with the antidote." Han Changwan withdrew his hand and looked at the princess of Annan County with burning eyes.

"Antidote, problem?" Princess Annan sobbed: "How can there be a problem with the antidote, wasn't the antidote found from that little hoof?" ”

He glanced up at Yao Qi and said slowly: "To be exact, it's not that there is a problem with the antidote, it's that the person with the chemical medicine has a problem." ”

"The man of the medicine." Princess Annan was at a loss for a moment, then understood in an instant, and said coldly: "Ruyu, go, call Ruyu over!" Hurry up! ”

The people outside didn't know what was going on, but they felt that the tone of the princess of Annan County was serious, so they hurriedly looked for someone.

Yao Ji approached, broke open the mouth of the prince of Annan County, took a clean handkerchief and wiped it on his tongue and teeth, and the handkerchief was stained with dots of brown marks.

She sniffed it gently, and there was a faint sweetness on the veil, which was very familiar to her.

She only smelled it once, and then she felt disgusting, covering her mouth and vomiting.

Han Changdui heard the movement and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yao Qi took a few deep breaths before suppressing the feeling of vomiting, and put the handkerchief under the tip of Han Changdu's nose: "Smell it, adult." ”

Han Changwan frowned slightly: "What kind of flavor is this, a little sweet?" ”

"It's licorice." Yao Qi couldn't even mention the word "licorice", and when he mentioned it, he felt that the bird's nest porridge he had just eaten didn't want to stay in his belly safely.

"Licorice, can you be sure?" The taste was too light, and many medicinal herbs had a faint sweetness, Han Changwan couldn't tell it accurately, and he was also very skeptical about Yao Ji's accuracy.

Yao Qi nodded his head: "The lowly function is determined, the lowly position is sensitive to licorice, and it will be nauseous when it smells it." ”

She thought that before she crossed into this world, when she was in college, there was a classmate in the dormitory who had a cough, and the doctor prescribed licorice tablets and put them in the dormitory.

Yao Qi is finished now, and when he returns to the dormitory, he can smell the rich smell of licorice that no one else can smell, and he can vomit out the disgusting overnight meal.

In the end, in desperation, Yao Ji made do with other dormitories for a few days, and she didn't dare to move back until the classmate's cough healed, disposed of the bottle of licorice tablets, and the smell in the dormitory dissipated.

Licorice is to her like arsenic.

Hearing Yao Qi's words, Han Changwan was particularly surprised, and looked Yao Qi up and down with interest: "It's rare to be sensitive to licorice, what can't you smell yet?" ”

Yao Qi squinted his eyes, and his eyes showed a fierce light: "It's disgusting when you see an errand, okay?" ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows: "That's lazy." ”

When the princess of Annan County heard the word "licorice", she frowned and shook her head: "Licorice, it's impossible, how could licorice make the prince suddenly seriously injured and vomit blood!" Licorice is not poisonous! ”

Han Changdui said lightly: "Licorice itself is not poisonous, but the medicinal materials are compatible with eighteen antis, licorice anti-euphorbia, coriander, gansui, seaweed, that is to say, the medicine used by the prince has licorice and another medicine in the eighteen antis." These two flavors are non-toxic when taken out, but when put together, they will aggravate Shizi's injuries and make the poison faster. ”

The princess of Annan County also knew about these eighteen antis, and asked with tears in her eyes: "Then, that, the son, is the son still saved?" ”

Han Changwan nodded: "Fortunately, the amount of medicine is very small, and the prince uses even less, so it's no big deal." ”

The princess of Annan County had stopped crying, and the tears on her face were still there, but her expression became resolute and vicious, looking at the faint breath of the prince, she gritted her teeth and asked Han Changdu: "The antidote is gone, then, is there any other way for the envoy?" ”

Naturally, there is an antidote, but now I can't tell you directly, Han Changwan nodded confidently: "Naturally, there are just some things, and this official wants to ask Ruyu." ”

But after a while, Ruyu walked into the bedroom covered with night dew, and when she saw that Han Changdui and Yao Qi were also there, she chuckled in her heart, maintained a normal look on her face, and saluted: "Niangniang." ”

The princess of Annan County pursed her lips and was silent, only glancing at Han Changdu.

Han Changdui said coldly: "The medicine that the prince just used was melted and sent in by you?" ”

The people in the stove room saw this matter, and Ruyu couldn't hide it even if she wanted to, so she said as usual: "Yes, it's a servant." ”

Han Changdui asked again: "Where is the medicine bowl?" ”

Ruyu said: "After the maid finished feeding the medicine, she took it down and washed it." ”

Han Changdu raised his eyebrows: "It's very thoughtful." ”

Ruyu said unhurriedly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Han Changwan glanced at Yao Qi and raised his chin.

Yao Qi understood, hurriedly walked over, pinched Ruyu's hand, and sniffed lightly twice.

After Ruyu did these things, she carefully washed her hands with fragrant pancreas, and she was not worried about being seen through anything, without any resistance, and looked at Yao Qi's movements indifferently. There is still the smell of fragrant pancreas on her fingertips, and she uses magnolia fragrant pancreas, which is not heavy, and it is better than elegance.

Under the cover of the elegant fragrance, the faint sweetness loomed, and Yao Qi was suddenly disgusted.

She retreated to Han Changdui's side and whispered, "It's licorice." ”

Han Changdui nodded, it was Ruyu who turned the medicine with her own hands, and it was also Ruyu with the smell of licorice on her hands, of course, if this bit of evidence was placed in the court of Jingzhao Mansion, she would never be convicted.

However, this is not the public court of Jingzhao Mansion, and the person who tried the case was not the governor of Jingzhao Mansion.

The Department of Internal Health has never handled cases with the aim of condemning the crime to death, but to dig out all the people and things that have not seen the light.

The suspicions on Ruyu's body now are enough for her to die eight hundred times, and the reason why she is still alive now is only because she is still useful.

It doesn't matter if she is guilty or not, the important thing is that Han Changwei has determined who she is, and what the Internal Guard Division is best at is prying her mouth open.

Whether she is guilty or not, whether she is dead or alive in the end, depends on how many secrets she confides.

Han Changdui said lightly: "You changed the antidote to the prince, added a licorice into it, and made it into eighteen antis, which aggravated the injury of the prince, what you plan is clear to the official, and the means of the official are also clear to you, the official will not go around in circles with you, you will explain everything you know clearly, and the official will protect your life." ”

A trace of panic flashed between Ruyu's eyebrows, and it was fleeting, and she smiled calmly: "What the envoy is saying, the maid doesn't understand it." ”

As soon as she heard this, the princess of Annan County exploded all of a sudden, jumped up, and slapped Ruyu heavily.

"Slap", the slap was crisp and loud, Ruyu fell to the ground, couldn't get up for a long time, bright red blood oozed from the corners of her lips, and half of her face was red and swollen in an instant.

The face of the princess of Annan County was distorted, and she was so disgusted that she gritted her teeth, and while punching and kicking Ruyu, she scolded angrily: "This concubine treats you well every day, the four girls who accompany you, this concubine trusts you the most, you, you, you are a wolf with ambition, you are a wolf with a dog heart, you!" ”

She gasped angrily, her face flushed, a pair of delicate apricot eyes soaked in tears, and her eyes were soaked red.

Ruyu lay on the ground, clenched her teeth tightly, the beaten clothes were wide open, her hair was scattered, and she was miserable and ugly, but she couldn't bear to make a sound, and only let the big drops of tears fall on the ground, some seeped into the brick cracks, and some spilled water marks on the green bricks.

The princess of Annan County sat down in the bed, covering her face tightly, tears spilled out from between her fingers, crying breathlessly, crying in despair: "You are my most trustworthy person, you are my personal maid!" ”

Ruyu lowered her head, trembling all over, her eyes were tightly closed, and tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

Han Changdui captured the deep meaning of Princess Annan's words and glanced at Yao Qi.

Yao Qi nodded and led Ruyu out of the front hall.

After being silent for a moment, Han Changdui suddenly spoke: "Ruyu, is it from the Ming Palace?" ”

The princess of Annan County raised her head suddenly, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and she was speechless in grief: "Yes, she came out of the Ming Palace, she was only six or seven years old at the time, she fled with me all the way, accompanied me to be sold to Qiuzi, and later married into the county prince's mansion together, for me, she is not a maidservant, yes, sister." ”

Han Changdui was silent, and said after a moment: "Yao Senjun will personally send the antidote over, Ruyuna, I don't know how the princess of the county plans to do it?" ”

"Intended?" The princess of Annan was at a loss.

Han Changdu's words were simple and straightforward: "The internal security department interrogates people, no matter how they are used, and punishment is also one of them. ”

The princess of Annan County shuddered and looked frightened.

She was born noble, although she also experienced a period of sinister in the world after the country was broken, but this difficult time did not last long, and she was rescued by the king of Annan County.

It stands to reason that she has been tortured by Emperor Yong'an for so many years, she shouldn't be like this, no wonder she can't escape from the palm of someone else's hand.

Her little compassion is now a cage that traps her, and he is the wilderness where he buries him.

Han Changdui sneered lightly and shook his head: "Could it be that the princess of the county is reluctant?" ”

Princess Annan suddenly recovered from the huge blow and injury, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but spit out a sentence: "I, I don't want to see her again." ”

As soon as the final word was made, Han Changdui raised his eyebrows slightly, and slowly walked out, walking into the vast night.

The princess of Annan County suddenly collapsed in the bed, covering her face and crying.

Only this one of the servant girls who escaped with her survived, and now, there is not even this one.

In the future, who else will tell her about the old things of the palace, and who else will tell her about her father, queen and mother.

Her carefree girlhood has finally completely disappeared.

She came from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help crying.

Han Changdui walked into the ear room and saw Ruyu sitting against the wall in a mess, her face numb, and when she heard his footsteps walking in, she didn't even lift her eyelids.

Obviously, he had the intention of dying.

Han Changdui walked over slowly, squatting in front of Ruyu, word by word, his voice was as cold as the cold wind of thirty-nine days, and the hearts and livers of the people who cut them were painful: "You are the person who came out of the Ming Palace, and you are the most trusted maid around the Ming Palace Shuangshu, but you betrayed her, you have to give up the treasure of Emperor Ming to outsiders, you are the sinner of the previous dynasty." ”

"I'm not, I'm not a sinner, I didn't betray Emperor Ming, I didn't betray the previous dynasty, I didn't!" Ruyu was so stimulated that she trembled, her face turned pale, and she retorted sharply, but she didn't say anything more useful, and the rebuttal was extremely weak.

Han Changdui slowly stood up, turned his head to Yao Qi and said: "Go and turn the antidote and feed it to the prince of Annan County, Emperor Ming is also pitiful, and what he left for his daughter is a person who is in the morning and evening, and even the flesh and blood of his own master can be poisoned." ”

"I didn't, I didn't!" Ruyu hugged her head tightly, and her mind was already on the verge of collapse.

Han Changwan smiled slightly, and said coldly: "No, you leaked the whereabouts of the prince, and you gave the eighteen to the prince." He looked at Ruyu's consciousness a little unclear, and the whole person seemed to be about to fall into madness, so he increased his strength and said aggressively: "It's not easy for Shuangshu in the Ming Palace to live, it's so easy to have this bit of blood and bones, and I was almost buried by you." ”

Ruyu screamed in despair and sharpness: "No, no, he is not the son of the eldest princess at all, he is not, he is a rebel, he deserves to die!" ”
