The small kitchen in the yard is also relatively simple, with an earthen stove, a countertop, and some fragmented pots and pans, fortunately, it is clean and comfortable.

Chen Xiuyan smelled carefully after entering the small kitchen, the ancient arsenic extraction could not be very pure, often mixed with a small amount of sulfide, arsenic has no taste, but the taste of sulfide is very typical, Chen Xiuyan has no sense of keenness, just smell carefully, can smell the smell that others can't smell.

Chen Xiuyan walked around the corners and corners of the small kitchen, and finally locked a jar in the corner of the wall, in which flour and other grains were placed.

Chen Xiuyan picked up one of the bags, which was very light and less than a catty.

"This is white noodles, I bought five catties half a month ago and came back, but I am almost finished." Zhiling explained.

Chen Xiuyan opened the white-faced cloth bag, reached out and grabbed some of them, put them under his nose and sniffed them carefully, "There is a smell of arsenic in it." ”

"How is it possible, arsenic has no taste at all." Zhiling immediately retorted, allowing Chen Xiuyan to look at her more.

"What's more, this is Zhixiang went down the mountain to buy it, in addition to making pastries, I also made steamed buns, etc., I also ate it with Zhixiang, we don't have anything to do." Zhiling said, "How can there be arsenic in this white flour, I'll find Dr. Yi." ”

Chen Xiuyan didn't stop it, and after a while, Doctor Yi came, carefully examined the white face, and frowned, "Doctor Chen, I didn't find arsenic, is it a mistake?" ”

"Doctor Yi, we believe in you, but we don't believe this, not to mention the young age, and trying to provoke the relationship between Miss and us, we are suspicious of Zhixiang when we open our mouths."

"Zhixiang grew up with us since she was a child, how could she do something harmful to Miss."

"If this person must say so, there is another way, arsenic is poisonous, and it can be detected at once with a silver hairpin, and I will test it for you now." Zhiling filled a bowl with some white noodles, then added water, and after fusing it, she took out a silver hairpin from her sleeve and inserted it into the bowl, and took it out again after a while, and the silver hairpin did not change color at all.

Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows and looked at the hairpin in Zhiling's hand, and hooked the corners of her lips.

In ancient times, silver hairpins and silver needles were used to test poison, but in fact, it was sulfide that reacted with silver, and now this hairpin has not turned black, so it must not be made of silver.

"Zhiling, what are you yelling for, don't disturb Miss......" A figure dressed in bamboo blue walked into the courtyard, speaking in a loud voice, and after seeing that there were outsiders in the courtyard, he didn't say anything more.

"Doctor Yi." Seeing Dr. Yi Zhixiang was very excited, "Go and show the young lady, the young lady was still a little upset two days ago, and yesterday she had a fever again, and she kept throwing up ......"

Zhixiang told her young lady's illness one by one.

"Spitting up and down?" Doctor Yi turned his head and glanced at Zhiling, not understanding what she was doing to hide from herself before.

"Zhixiang, don't worry, Doctor Yi has already seen it for Miss, and invited this young woman who doesn't know where it came from, she looks about the same age as us, but she is not easy to be kind, I have already debunked her." Zhiling looked at Chen Xiuyan angrily and said.

"Miss Zhixiang is holding the newly bought white noodles?" Chen Xiuyan looked at the cloth bag she was carrying in her hand and said.

Zhixiang nodded.

"Show me."

Zhixiang didn't stop it, after all, Doctor Yi was here, not to mention that just looking at the white noodles was not a big deal.

"Doctor Yi, let's compare, is this flour different from what I ate before?" Chen Xiuyan said.

"Look, it's no different." After seeing it, Dr. Yi sniffed it, sniffed it back and forth for a while, and said with some uncertainty, "This seems to have a ...... How to describe it, the smell of rotten eggs? ”

"I don't know if it's because it's been in the tank for a long time." Doctor Yi muttered.

"That's the smell of arsenic." Chen Xiuyan said seriously, "The taste is very light, but our doctor is familiar with medicinal herbs, and he is sensitive to smells, and he can smell a trace of smell if he carefully distinguishes them." ”

"But the silver hairpin didn't change color just now." Doctor Yi is also inclined to Chen Xiuyan's misjudgment, he doesn't believe that Zhixiang will harm his own young lady.

"Arsenic!" Zhixiang exclaimed, "Arsenic in flour? How is it possible, I went to the rice grain store in Fucheng to buy it, how could there be arsenic. ”

"Of course there will be no rice grain shop, but you can add it yourself after buying it, the color of arsenic and white noodles is exactly the same, a little arsenic is mixed in such white noodles, and you can't distinguish it with the naked eye." Chen Xiuyan explained.

"It's all said no, the silver hairpin hasn't changed color, can you not provoke the relationship between our young lady and Zhixiang." Zhiling said indignantly.

But there are a few traces of weak emotions in the high-pitched voice, which I know best, and there are also traces of jealousy, resentment and joy that are well hidden in the eyes.

"Hey." Chen Xiuyan entered the house and brought the bowl of boiling flour water, reached out and plucked the silver hairpin on his head, and inserted it directly.

Zhiling was so frightened that her face turned white all of a sudden, she didn't expect the other party to have such speed and reaction, which made her a little overwhelmed for a while, and she prayed in her heart that she would not be discovered.

After Chen Xiuyan picked up the hairpin, the tip of the hairpin was slightly blackened, so frightened that Zhixiang covered her mouth, and Dr. Yi widened her eyes and approached to take a closer look.

"Doctor Yi can also try if he has silver on him." Chen Xiuyan suggested.

Doctor Yi immediately took out the silver lock plate hanging on his body, and sure enough, he also made a mistake in a small corner, "Really, there is arsenic." ”

"That, that ......" Doctor Yi looked at Zhiling and the silver hairpin in her hand.

"It shouldn't be a hairpin made of silver, if I'm right, it's probably copper." Chen Xiuyan said.

"Originally, I couldn't be sure which maid was the one who put the arsenic, but after she was able to take out the hairpin that couldn't change color, I was sure it was her." Chen Xiuyan looked at Zhiling and said, "Being smart is mistaken by being smart." ”

"I didn't, I didn't, you're spewing blood." Zhiling pointed at Chen Xiuyan and said fiercely, "I grew up with Miss, how could I harm her, I bought this hairpin in Fucheng, it must be that the seller of goods did not honestly sell me a fake, can such a hairpin mean that I hurt Miss." ”

"It's your business, I don't care." Chen Xiuyan didn't care about this, "I'm only responsible for treating diseases and detoxifying." ”

Since I know that it is the poison of arsenic, it can be determined from the symptoms of the reaction that the amount is not large, as long as the stomach is cleaned, and then the spleen and stomach are conditioned with medicinal diet, there will be no major problems.

A small dose of arsenic can also be solved by Dr. Yi, but now he trusts Chen Xiuyan more, Chen Xiuyan can only go to the house to clear the stomach of the fifth lady, at this time she is already a little sober, Chen Xiuyan used the water in the space to wash her stomach, and repeatedly poured water to induce vomiting several times before stopping.
