Chapter 102: Chen Meiren didn't drink tea
Zhou Guiren and Chen Meiren were poisoned because they ate something they shouldn't eat!
Although there had been speculations for a long time, but when they really heard the confirmation of the imperial doctor, everyone's faces still couldn't stop changing. Especially Qing Concubine and Lin Jieyu, who were eating at the same table with the two, felt a little panicked.
"This poison... How long does it take to get from the entrance to the seizure? Is it that everyone seems to be falling so fast? Qing Concubine couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Don't worry, once this poison is taken, it will attack within a moment. If the person present has not eaten in the last quarter of an hour, there is no possibility of poisoning. Imperial Physician Yang hurriedly explained.
I believe that after the two of them fell, there should no longer be anyone present who dared to eat indiscriminately.
Therefore, the imperial doctors are still very relieved of other nobles.
The nobles led by Qing Concubine and Lin Jieyu listened to the assurances of the imperial doctor, and the tight strings in their hearts couldn't help but loosen a little.
No one doesn't care about themselves, and it's really reassuring to be sure you're safe and sound.
It's just that this food is a little...
If you are fine, everyone will naturally put their minds on the person who poisoned them.
"After the accident of the two younger sisters, we haven't touched the food and tea on the table, I don't know, can Imperial Doctor Yang find something like that that poisoned them from the leftover food?" After relaxing a little, Lin Jieyu was the first to put forward her opinion.
Qing Concubine also nodded again and again: "Yes, I bother you to see, what is it that hurt them, after it is confirmed, we can pursue the real culprit!" ”
"Commandment." Such requirements are not difficult for the physicians.
In just a moment, Imperial Physician Yang put a few things in front of everyone.
A plate of sweet and sour tenderloin, a plate of osmanthus sugar lotus, and two teas.
Imperial Physician Yang respectfully reported: "According to the minister's investigation, these three things and the tableware used by the two ladies have traces of poisonous substances. However, the poison in these two dishes is very small, and it has never covered the whole plate... It's more like it's stained when you pick up vegetables. ”
"What about the tea?" Chi Xinian asked.
"Tea itself is poisonous, and it is not weak." Imperial Physician Yang replied with his head bowed.
"That tea is something that has been poisoned..."Chi Xinian glanced at the tea cup of the two, and immediately, a little question arose, "Zhou Guiren is right to drink tea, but Chen Meiren's tea cup has not been touched, why is she also poisoned?" Are you sure there's nothing else poisonous? ”
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Yang was also stunned.
If both of them drank tea, left poison in their mouths, and ate some food, this situation now makes sense - it is nothing more than that the poison has been infected on the dishes and dishes through their mouths.
But Chen Meiren didn't drink tea!
Imperial Physician Yang did not answer immediately, but took the people under his command to carefully examine it again, and then said with a frown: "Indeed, as the minister said, there are only these few things that have problems. ”
But after thinking about it, he added: "But the situation of this osmanthus sugar root is different from the sweet and sour loin, and there is a place on the edge of this osmanthus sugar root dish that is contaminated with poison." ”
"The edge of the saucer?" Chi Xinian muttered, and subconsciously rubbed his chin with his fingertips.
According to what the imperial doctor said and the situation at the scene, Zhou Guiren was unlucky and poisoned, naturally because he drank poisonous tea. But Chen Meiren is not, someone poisoned her tea, but she didn't drink it, so the dish of osmanthus sugar lotus...
Could it be that the extra traces on the edge of the dish were caused by someone poisoning it a second time?
