Xiao Qian looked at them and said coldly: "You are in charge of the official's diet, and now there is a Hehuansan in the soup, and you still say that you haven't done anything!" The crime of murdering this official deserves death, and if you murder the princess, you should be connected to the nine clans! ”

Being scolded by Xiao Qian, they were very scared, but they didn't know what was wrong.

After Xiao Qian scolded a few words, he asked again, "Lang Zhong, when do you think this medicine was released?" ”

Lang Zhong said seriously: "This medicine is quite special, it has high requirements for the mastery of time, and it is impossible to put it too early or too late." If you leave it too early, if you continue cooking, then the effect of the medicine will be lost. If you put it too late, if the food is cold, the medicinal effect is not good, not to mention that if you put it too late, it will affect the taste, and if you eat a bite of adults and princesses, you will definitely find out. ”

"So when do you think the medicine was released?"

"It should be the medicine that was put in after the meal was ready, before I got here. If you want to have someone, you either have someone to guide you, or you are a person who knows a little about medical skills. ”

Xiao Qian nodded, "Since that's the case, the scope can be narrowed." After you minions have finished the meal, is there anyone alone in the kitchen? ”

A cook hurriedly said, "Adults and villains are all together when cooking, and no one is alone with the food." ”

"The slave has always followed everyone and has not acted alone."

Everyone began to explain to themselves, Xiao Qian knew in his heart, and continued to ask: "Then after your meal is ready, before you come here, is there anyone else who has contact with the food?" ”

Hearing such a question, several people thought and fell silent. They are just slaves and slaves, how dare they say in front of the princess that Yang Liu and Yu'er touched the food!

From their silence, Xiao Qian seemed to understand something.

He said to the princess, "Princess, the minister is ashamed that such a thing happened in the Xiao Mansion. However, please believe that the princess will never dare to do such a rebellious thing. In order to prove the minister's innocence, the minister must thoroughly investigate the matter. ”

Nan Zixi was scared in her heart, but she still said calmly: "My lord is above board, of course this palace believes that such a dirty thing is definitely not done by adults." This kind of thing really should be investigated, otherwise I don't know what kind of things these people will do in the future. ”

"What the princess said is very true, and the minister will definitely find out." Xiao Qian was very satisfied with the princess's answer.

Nan Zixi said so, and he had no worries.

He glared at the people on the ground, "The murder of the princess is an unforgivable crime." You have not yet brought it to you. ”

A slave maid was very frightened, and said softly: "My lord, the slave maid and the others have been cooking together all the time, and they dare not take medicine. ”

"Please be aware of it!"

"You haven't left the meal since you cooked until you dined in the main palace?" He asked again.

A few people were silent again.

Xiao Qian said solemnly: "If you have any inside information, you can tell it directly, otherwise your life will not be saved." No matter who it is, it is unforgivable to dare to do such a thing. But if you can't provide valuable clues, then it's yours to dome. ”

Hearing such words, several people hesitated.

The cook lowered his head and said softly: "My lord, after the villain has cooked the meal, the two slaves and maids beside the princess have come, let us go out to rest first, and they will check if there is anything wrong with the meal." ”

"If you dare to frame others, the crime will be added to the first degree!"

"Adult, the villain doesn't dare, what the villain says, every word is true, and he will never dare to frame anyone. From the selection of materials to the production, it has always been completed by a few of us, but after it was done, Aunt Yang Liu, who was beside the princess, let us leave, saying that Princess Feng wanted to check whether the meals were in line with the princess's taste. Maybe we'll go out, leaving behind Yang Liu Gugu and a palace maid. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Yu'er, who was standing aside.

Hearing this, Xiao Qian looked at Nan Zixi, "Princess, this matter involves your slave maid, let's ask the princess to speak!" ”

Nan Zixi is very nervous, but at this time, he can't mess with himself, now that the matter has been revealed, he must retreat with his whole body.

She glared at Yu'er and said fiercely, "Yu'er, you are one of the slaves and maids trusted by this palace. But today's incident made this palace very shocked, you must give a reasonable explanation, otherwise this palace will not be spared. ”

Yu'er is scared, she has always seen a lot of the world in the palace, but now that her fate is involved, how can she not be in a hurry?

She did participate in this matter, but she had to exonerate herself. Of course, she knew the princess's position on this matter, so she had already thought about what she should do next.

She hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The princess forgives the sins, the princess forgives the sins." The slave knows that she is wrong and asks the princess for forgiveness. ”

Nan Zixi said fiercely: "Why are you doing this? You have been following Hongu for a long time, why do you want to do such a thing on your own initiative? You have disappointed Hongu so much, how can Hongu be relieved to stay here with a person like you? ”

"The princess forgives her sins, please don't drive away the slaves. In this matter, the slave and maid only serve Aunt Yang Liu's orders, and it is definitely not their own idea. Yu'er hurriedly said.

At this time, of course, he can only put all the responsibility on Yang Liu, so that he can avoid punishment, not to mention that this idea is indeed Yang Liu's, but he has won the consent of the princess.

Of course, you can't betray the princess in front of Xiao Qian, otherwise she will die without a place to be buried, Yu'er can understand such a stake.

Nan Zixi pretended to be very serious, "It was Yang Liu who asked you to do this." ”

Yu'er nodded, "The princess also knows how capable the slave is, and the slave doesn't know anything about these medicines." Just now, Aunt Yang Liu took the slave and maid to check the meal, and then took out a packet of medicine and poured it into the soup and vegetables. Worried that the slave maid felt very puzzled, she stopped Aunt Yang Liu. ”

"But Aunt Yang Liu said that it was a soothing brain medicine prescribed to the princess, and in the past few days, the princess has indeed not slept very well, so the slave maid has no suspicions. What's more, Aunt Yang Liu is responsible for conditioning the princess's body, which is what we all know, and the slave never thought that she would harm the princess. If the slave knew that this medicine was not a sleep conditioner, she would have stopped it and told the princess. ”

Yu'er said very seriously, and gently wiped her tears, pretending to be very innocent and loyal.

"It's the slave who is not good, it's the slave who didn't protect the princess, and I ask the princess to punish her." Yu'er continued.

The people present could hear it clearly, and Yu'er also brushed herself off, not only did she not say that Nan Zixi knew, but also said it reasonably.
