Murong Xi's eyes lit up.

Xu Yuanshou said that the water in the teapot is fine, it doesn't mean that the teapot is fine. Spices are fine, doesn't it mean that the incense burner is fine? ”

Xu Yuanshou nodded, "Xia Guan is just guessing-"

"I think it makes a lot of sense." As she spoke, Murong Xi walked to the table, poured out all the water in the teapot, and began to carefully inspect the inside of the teapot.

Xu Yuanshou was not idle, walked to the water basin, first tried the water inside, and then squatted down to observe the water basin little by little.

Murong Xi looked inside and out of the teacup, but didn't find it.

Don't be discouraged, continue to go to the chaise longue to look at the incense burner.

The incense burner in the shape of a unicorn beast is still spitting a refreshing fragrance.

The curling smoke road bent violently and scattered in all directions due to Murong Xi's approach.

A wisp of smoke as thin as a silk thread burrowed into the snort of Xu Yuanshou, who was looking at the basin of water on the side.

Xu Yuanshou took a few sharp breaths, put down the movements in his hand, and turned his head to look at Murong Xi.

Murong Xi also smelled an extremely faint trace of a strange smell in it.

Slowly turned his gaze and looked at Xu Yuanshou.

"It's—"

Xu Yuanshou's face was solemn, he got up and picked up the incense burner, approached his nose, and the faint smell disappeared again.

He opened the lid of the incense burner, sniffed the lid, and his face changed suddenly.

"Oleander!"

Murong Xi walked up to the head of Xu Yuan, grabbed the lid and put it under his nose and sniffed it.

The breath is very, very light, and it comes and goes.

These weights do not pose any harm to normal people at all.

But this incense burner has burned out, and how much it was before, Murong Xi and Xu Yuan couldn't tell the difference.

Xu Yuanshou frowned, "When the Queen Mother first fell ill, Weichen received a summons and rushed over. There was no incense burning in the room at that time. ”

He was pretty sure it was afternoon, and the only thing that was burning was the stove.

Murong Xi looked at the familiar incense burner and analyzed: "The Queen Mother has the habit of burning soothing incense before going to bed, could it be that when the Queen Mother was taking a nap, Mama Yu lit the soothing incense according to the custom." When the Queen Mother woke up, the soothing incense had already been burned, and the oleander powder in it had also been sucked up by the Queen Mother? ”

Xu Yuanshou nodded, walked to the basin with the incense burner, extinguished the little fire left in it with clean water, stirred the incense ash inside with his fingers, reached under his nose and smelled it, and licked it gently with the tip of his tongue.

"The spice is indeed oleander, although the amount is not much, but it is enough for the body of the Queen Mother."

Murong Xi was surprised.

Xu Yuanshou finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and found the source of the poison, and he should also prescribe the right medicine.

"Weichen went to call Mama Yu, there are some medicinal materials on the recipe that need to be changed."

"Wait." Murong Xi stopped the head of the Xu courtyard.

"The Queen Mother has already taken medicine tonight, and the matter of changing the prescription is not in a hurry."

Murong Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, lowered her voice and said to Xu Yuanshou: "The fact that oleander can appear in the place where the Queen Mother is close at hand shows that everyone in Cining Palace is suspicious. ”

"Please also ask the head of the courtyard not to inform others of tonight's discovery. What's more, it is not certain whether there is a problem with the spices or the incense burner, and it will be a surprise to announce it rashly. ”

Xu Yuanshou hesitated for a moment, "But, but the Queen Mother always wants to know." And Your Majesty, if Your Majesty asks the lower officials and doesn't answer, then it is the crime of bullying the king! ”

"If I don't say it, if you don't say it, no one will know the truth." Murong Xi thought for a while and said, "I will stay in Cining Palace for the past few days, focusing on observing who has touched the tranquility incense. If you don't catch the real murderer behind the scenes, the Queen Mother may be killed again at any time. ”

Xu Yuanshou was silent, he didn't want to be summoned in the middle of the night, so he came to Cining Palace in a hurry.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuan nodded at first.

"Princess, be careful."

-

The next day, the snow that had been piling up in the palace for many days gradually melted.

There was a hint of spring in the air.

Murong Xi got up early and accompanied the Queen Mother to dine together.

The Queen Mother asked if she had found out that Murong Xi hung her head and ate it, hiding the matter of An Shenxiang.

"I found that it is not there for the time being, but the Queen Mother, you can rest assured, with your sister-in-law, this kind of thing will never happen again. In addition, the things used by the Queen Mother are all checked by Mama Yu? ”

Mama Yu didn't hear Murong Xi's suspicions about herself, so she just took it as a normal inquiry and nodded, "The food is all tried by the old slave for the Queen Mother, as for the use, such as the pen, ink, paper, inkstone used by the Queen Mother to copy Buddhist scriptures, as well as the incense burner, etc., they have all been examined by the Imperial Doctor." ”

"Xu Yuanshou has checked?" Murong Xi's heart skipped half a beat, wondering if she had missed something.

Mama Yu shook her head, "That day, the first rest of the Xu Courtyard was seen by Imperial Doctor Zhang." ”

"Imperial Doctor Zhang?" Murong Xi secretly said that it was okay, almost thinking that the murderer was around.

Mama Yu: "Yes, although Imperial Doctor Zhang has never asked for peace for the Queen Mother, he is also an old man in the hospital, so he should not be mistaken." ”

The Queen Mother put down her chopsticks and followed Mama Yu's words and asked Murong Xi, "Does Xi'er suspect that there is something wrong with Imperial Doctor Zhang?" ”

"Everything is still good for Xu Yuanshou to check again."

Before he could determine how oleander was mixed with soothing incense, Murong Xi didn't dare to make a conclusion.

The Queen Mother was so shrewd, she could see at a glance what Murong Xi was hiding.

With a straight face, he said to Mama Yu: "Yurong, how could you make such a low-level mistake? ”

"The old slave is guilty." Mama Yu felt ashamed, she was with the Queen Mother almost all day long, but the Queen Mother was poisoned alone, Mama Yu served the Queen Mother for decades, this kind of mistake really made her lose face, and immediately knelt down to admit her mistake.

Murong Xi got up and helped Mama Yu up, and looked at her with relief, "Mama Yu doesn't have to blame herself, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the dark, Imperial Doctor Zhang is not a problem, but it is better to be cautious in everything." ”

"The princess is right, the old slave will go to the head of the Xu courtyard."

Mama Yu was ashamed of herself and immediately went to the Tai Hospital to find the head of Xu.

Murong Xi saw that the Queen Mother couldn't eat, so she didn't persuade her more, and asked the Queen Mother with concern, "Does the Queen Mother want to sleep for a while?" ”

"Nope." The Queen Mother looked at the budding spring outside, "It's rare that it's a good weather, why don't you go out for a walk with the mourning family?" ”

"It's okay, I'll go get a cloak for the Queen Mother." Murong Xi was about to get up after speaking, but her wrist was tight, and she was firmly grabbed by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother gestured to the cloak hanging on the back of the chair with her chin, and smiled kindly: "Just wear the one from Xi'er?" ”

"The Queen Mother likes it, so I will give it to the Queen Mother." It's just a cloak, Murong Xi didn't pay attention to it.

The same style and different colors, there are in the palace.

She hadn't even paid much attention to it.

The Queen Mother's smile became deeper and deeper, "The mourning family is not wanted, if the mourning family is not mistaken, this silver silk Shu brocade is last year's material." It is said that there are not many, only three horses. was moved back to the palace by Lao Jiu, who likes white. ”

The corners of Murong Xi's lips twitched, this cloak belongs to Jiang Huaiyin? Or was Jiang Huaiyin tailor-made for her?
