This wipe has been dropped?

The old lady's things, who can touch them?

Or, who could take the forehead apart under her nose and add so much cinnabar to it?

The purple forehead wipe was still on the ground, and the patterns on it were dyed with the evil red of cinnabar, and under the light of the lamps and candles in the room, it showed a bit of bewitching beauty.

Guo's expression changed.

Negligence is also fault, and if she says that she has opened the forehead for inspection, it must be a trouble that cannot be explained.

Guo Shi grinded her back molars, looked at Song Qian who was making trouble for herself in disgust, did not mention the possibility of losing her forehead, and pushed everything on her, "I thought you had a request for the old lady, so you made something with your own hands to pay respect, but I didn't expect you to harm the old lady, this thing also passed through my hands, Song, you are trapping me in injustice!"

Song Qian didn't know that Guo had checked her forehead, let alone that her forehead had been replaced, her face was pale, and she wanted to defend but couldn't tell the difference.

Lin Shihu said suspiciously, "Third brother and sister, why are you sure that it is Aunt Song? She has just been punished for Aunt Wen's death, so she shouldn't use cinnabar to attract people's eyes again, maybe someone wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Guo hesitated for a moment, "What does the second sister-in-law mean by this, how can someone in our house attack the old lady?"

If Mrs. Wei has three longs and two shorts, the three brothers of the Wei family will be worried, and the Wei family, as long as they are not fools, will definitely hope that Mrs. Wei will live a long life.

Lin speculated: "Maybe it's the political enemy of the Wei family, it's not known, the third brother and sister don't hold on to Aunt Song, everyone doesn't blame you for negligence, the most important thing now is to heal the old lady."

Guo's face turned red from her choking, "I, I don't want to shirk, I just want to explain......

She was really afraid that this matter would implicate her, after all, she was taking care of Old Madam Wei all these days.

When Lin heard this, he said, "Since that's the case, it's better for the third brother and sister to explain the matter clearly."

Li Qingyi heard what the Lin family said, and said secretly: The Lin family's hunt has begun!

Guo's face was ugly, "The Song family was snubbed, and Bacheng wanted to beg the old lady to take care of her, so he asked me what the old lady liked, so she could find it to please the old lady."

Lin looked at her, "You told her?"

Guo's face was secretly hot, she helped Song Qian, but she actually wanted to secretly make harm to the Lin family. Song Qian is a good concubine, she is the biggest threat to the Lin family, if it is over like this, what is the interest?

She helped Song Qian completely with the mentality of watching the excitement, but she didn't expect this to happen.

Now I can't help but be a little ashamed to say this careful thought in front of everyone.

She said uncomfortably: "After all, she is the Song family, and the old lady intends to give her face for the sake of the Song family, so I just take advantage of the situation and tell her that the old lady likes delicate needlework, who knows that the Song family has evil intentions and actually took the opportunity to poison the old lady?"

Hearing this, Lin glared at her, and sarcastically mocked Guo as mercilessly as before: "It's rare for the three brothers and sisters to be kind, who knows that good intentions do bad things."

Guo's face turned red.

The Lin clan ignored her anymore and looked at the county lord of Yuanheng.

The county lord of Yuanheng looked at Wei Shicheng again.

Wei Shicheng's gaze swept impatiently over the women in the back house, and invited Imperial Physician Li to come over and take a look, "Imperial Physician Li, do you see if the dose of these cinnabar can poison my mother?"

Imperial Doctor Li had already ordered someone to grab the medicine, and he was waiting on the side at this time, when he heard the sound, he walked to the place where the cinnabar was sprinkled, pinched some and put it under his nose and smelled it, and after confirming that it was cinnabar, he said, "These doses are indeed very large, but the old lady should not be poisoned by this."

Everyone was stunned again when they heard this, and Imperial Physician Li continued: "It is true that cinnabar has a calming effect, but if the dosage is not appropriate, over time, the toxicity will penetrate into the skin mechanism, and it will kill people. But...... The old lady has not been exposed to these cinnabar for a long time, and judging by her symptoms, it should be a large dose of continuous ingestion in a short period of time and a sudden poison."

Song Qian cried out at the right time, "I was wronged! I have never harmed anyone! It's even more impossible to harm the old lady......

No one paid attention to her.

Wei Shicheng asked, "If it weren't for these cinnabars, how would my mother be poisoned?"

Imperial Physician Li looked at the brazier burning in the room and said, "Although cinnabar can't poison people quickly, after burning, it can poison people deeply in a short time. Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary?"

Mrs. Wei is afraid of the cold, even if it is not winter, when the autumn rain is cold, people will put charcoal pots.

Someone immediately went out to the brazier to check it, then shook his head and signaled that there was no problem.

Lord Yuanheng said, "Who would let it continue to burn when they noticed that there was cinnabar? Besides, how can there be cinnabar in the brazier, this pot of charcoal will not be lit for long before it needs to be replaced, is it possible that the people who use their hands and feet will come and sprinkle some cinnabar every time?"

Imperial Physician Li was also speechless for a while.

Lin glanced at Guo and said, "Except when the old lady sleeps at night, there are always people around her, since the old lady has been poisoned, why are the people around her okay?"

The girl next to the old lady looked at each other, and Guo was even more stunned.

Yingchun replied to everyone, "The old lady sleeps lightly, and the slightest movement will wake us up, so we are all keeping vigil in the warm pavilion outside, so except when we sleep at night, we do follow the old lady every step of the way."

"When you go to bed at night...... "The old lady has always had a habit of leaving a candle when she sleeps at night!"

Candle!

The people in the room looked at Guo Shi in unison.

Guo's heart was cold.

The charcoal fire up and down the Li Mansion, and the candle flame purchase, are all in charge of her!

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Guo.

Li Qingyi put all his attention on the Lin family, it was really a good strategy, not only could he damage Mrs. Wei's body again, but also stepped on Song Qian's foot by the way, and then involved the Guo family, it was really a good strategy to kill three birds with one stone! new

Lord Yuanheng stopped everyone's whispering and said, "The stakes are very high, don't jump to conclusions, but the third brother and sister stay in the courtyard these days and don't go out, and the others don't come close!"

Guo felt aggrieved, but did not refute it.

Wei Shicheng signaled, and immediately a mother-in-law stepped forward to take down two candles from the candlestick.

Imperial Physician Li cut off a small piece, put it in a porcelain dish and put it on the charcoal fire to dissolve, and after a while, his face changed, only to see that after the wax block on the disk dissolved, there were a few traces of bright red in the transparent wax oil.

"As expected...... After the cinnabar is burned by fire, it will turn into mercury, and the mercury permeates the air, colorless and odorless, which is difficult to detect, and the old lady is older, and her body is not as good as that of the young man. There are so many doses of such a small candle......

Nong Peony took the candles that had not been used in the old lady's room, cut off a small piece one after another, and melted the candles according to the method of Imperial Doctor Li, and sure enough, there were almost all of them in this batch!

Everyone looked at the candles in the room.

Ever since the old lady had an eye disease, she hated the darkness very much, and even though her eyes had recovered a little after healing, and she could barely see something, she was still very afraid of the dark, and she had to light candles to sleep every night.

Everyone's hearts suddenly fluttered, looking at the more than ten red candles inserted in the candlestick in the room, and they couldn't help but shiver!

If so, it's a bit too vicious!

The county lord of Yuanheng hurriedly ordered people to replace these candles, and said, "Keep these candles containing cinnabar well!"

The third lady, Guo's face turned pale, and she muttered, "How can this be? These candles were purchased at the time of the New Year's Festival......

Yingchun came in from outside with a medicine bowl and walked forward quickly, Nong Shao hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady, and under the attention of everyone, fed the old lady the medicine.

Imperial Doctor Li said, "The old lady needs to take advantage of the heat of the medicine to administer needles, please avoid it. Just leave a few people to take care of it."

Wei Shicheng's expression was cold, and he said, "Let's all go back first."

The aunts and ladies of each room and the miscellaneous people retreated

, the county lord of Yuanheng and the Lin family, the Guo family and others naturally want to stay.

Imperial Physician Li slowly twisted the silver needles on the old lady's forehead, neck and other acupuncture points, and after half an hour, the old lady finally took a long breath and woke up from the coma.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward, and Imperial Physician Li was sweating profusely and was invited to the side to drink tea and rest.

"How are you, old lady?"

The old lady's eyes were cloudy, and when she turned around, she seemed to see several vague figures in front of her, and her throat rolled without speaking.

Lin said, "Everyone step back and let the old lady take a breath."

Guo Shi was unhappy: "Second sister-in-law, are you the only one who cares about the safety of the old lady, and we are all idle people?"

Lin frowned and turned her head, with "Why are you so ignorant" written all over her face, she said, "I think the third brother and sister really don't care about the safety of the old lady!"

Guo Shi was trembling and speechless.

The county lord of Yuanheng said: "At this time, don't say something about what you don't have, it's better to hold on to the old lady's body first, it's useless for everyone to gather here, first retreat to the side, let the old lady slow down."

Guo's face stiffened, and he glared at Lin fiercely.

Lin Shi only thought that she did not exist, looked at the old lady and asked softly, "Old lady, is there any pain or discomfort on your body?"

The old lady shook her head, and closed her eyes again, as if she had exhausted her strength.

Imperial Physician Li sighed and said on the side: "Mercury poisoning, the body will be a little burning, the old lady is weak, although she has woken up, she needs someone to take care of her at all times......

Wei Shicheng nodded and politely sent Imperial Doctor Li away.

Guo wanted to step forward to talk to the old lady, but Lin seemed to be deliberately angry with her, and said, "Third brother and sister, please forgive me for offending my sister-in-law, now that the cause of the old lady's poisoning has not been ascertained, it is better for you to avoid it for the time being......

Guo Shiqi's lips trembled, flicked his sleeves, walked out of Heyan Hall, and went back to the third room.

Li Qingyi looked at the strange excited look in Lin's eyes, and his temples jumped suddenly, this Lin's must have an arrangement!
