Chapter 296: What, Someone Poisoned Xiangye?
I saw her holding a fan in her hand, gently shaking the fan, her white jade fingers were slender, and the green tendons on the back of her hand were faintly visible.
The fairy flying screen standing next to it, the frieze plate is engraved with red plums, and the bamboo bonsai is placed on the flower table, and the surrounding environment is setting off the abundance and beauty of the queen's mother.
Isn't it that the fifth lady has already thrown herself into the arms of the prince?
This prodigal son, I'm afraid I can't stand the loneliness.
Yuan Zhi, the villain, played the trick of the black tiger again, killing two birds with one stone, and confiscated a chess piece in the heart of Caofu.
played smartly, did not show the mountains and water, and actually kept the palace in the dark.
The queen's willow eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter, her white hands were clenched tightly, and her round fingertips pressed against her palms, with a faint red mark.
"Is this the first time she has been modified into the palace? How did your people find out, are you secretly following the Fifth Lady? ”
Baoqin shook his head and said:
"Whether it is the first time is impossible to verify, but she entered the palace with the prince's jade pendant, and no one dared to stop the palace gate Qianniuwei, it should not be the first time, and this discovery is completely coincidental, because the fifth lady arrived at the square in front of the mansion, just heard what her personal maid said, and her carriage left."
"The little one thought that the Cao Mansion was unstable these days, and he was afraid that something would happen to the fifth lady, so he sent someone to follow him to protect her, but he didn't expect her to go straight to the imperial city, and it was a through train... Mother, how to deal with this matter. ”
The queen held her forehead with her hand and sneered:
"This is called the tree falling and scattering, they, the widows of the previous dynasty and the nobles of the dead country, have never been kind to the Cao Mansion, just don't disturb her first, monitor it closely, and then check it down."
Baoqin said again:
"I heard that Xiao Yuanbo, the chief helmsman of the Cao Gang, also arrived at the Jingshi East Wharf with the Wuya boat, and he has not been seen ashore to carry out activities.
The Cao Gang is a powerful force in the rivers and lakes, does Xiao Yuanbo suddenly come to Beijing with Xiao Yuru for other purposes?
Does this have anything to do with Xiao Yuru's sudden entry into the palace and the secret meeting of the prince?
Cao Feiyan nodded a few square points and said:
"You should attach great importance to this matter, and find out whether the Cao Gang is related to King Ning's forces? Closely monitor Xiao Yuanbo's every move. However, the crown prince is upright and arrogant, and he and King Ning are incompatible, you don't care about the movements of the East Palace, just monitor the fifth lady and Xiao Yuanbo, but don't startle the snake. ”
"I understand, but there's another thing..."
Baoqin knelt down as he spoke, kowtowed apologetically:
"The little one is busy with things outside, and he is a little negligent about the security of Xiangye's side, and today I found out that someone has done something in Xiangye's medicine."
"What?"
Cao Feiyan suddenly changed color, she stood up and said sharply:
"You... Why do you say that? ”
"Yu Niangniang, here's the thing, the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor Dr. Hua, yesterday I sent someone to the imperial pharmacy to get the medicine, and it needs to be boiled from the new replacement medicine jar, and the old medicine jar needs to be checked according to the regulations."
"As a result, in the old jar of boiling medicine, it was found that there were other ingredients in the medicine residue, this medicine is compatible with the original prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, although it does not cause death immediately, but it will make people mentally unclear and more and more comatose, this is a chronic poison, indicating that someone wants to harm Xiangye!"
Hearing this, Cao Feiyan almost didn't react, "What's the matter, it's getting more and more confused?" ”
Cao's mansion is declining, Xiangye vomited blood twice in a row, and his life is dying, how can anyone want to harm him at this time?
Who has such a big hatred with Cao Fu?
Could it be the crown prince?
He wants to destroy the Cao family, there is no need to use this kind of bad means, this is in line with his personality.
However, it is difficult to say, isn't the death of the eldest brother a bad three?
Cao Feiyan forced herself to calm down.
She pressed her brow, moved the hem of her long yellow skirt lightly, sat back in the armchair, and asked sharply:
"Who is it?"
The bright sunlight shines through the window paper, and falls on the body of the hugqin, showing dappled light and shadow.
He hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Mama Rong from the pharmacy in our house." ”
Cao Feiyan was shocked when she heard this, and the fan in her hand fell on the clean floor, making a soft sound.
There was silence in the room, and no sound could be heard.
How can it be?
Mama Rong is a medical girl, she has served the old grandmother of Cao Mansion since she was a child, and she also served Cao Feiyan's biological mother, and she is one of the respected old people in Cao Mansion.
Why would she do such a thing?
Mama Rong herself is old and in poor health, so she rarely pays attention to the things in the pharmacy.
"Where's she?"
"When the little one sent someone to inquire, she swallowed the gold and died."
Commit suicide in fear of sin!
Cao Feiyan still couldn't believe that Mama Rong would hate her father, the head of the Cao family.
There must have been someone behind the scenes.
The queen took a deep breath, clenched her slender jade fingers into a fist, and said sharply:
"In the future, you send someone to be fully responsible for the food and clothing, no matter who it is, don't startle the snake, once you notice that something is wrong, quickly send someone to watch it secretly, and then report it to the palace."
She raised her slender hand to her forehead and told herself not to panic, to be calm.
"Do not spread this matter any further, and those who know it, tell it clearly,
All leakers are severely punished by the family law, you must do your best to protect the good minister, take advantage of this dismissal, and lay off all those unreliable people and ten thousand stewards. ”
"Understood." Huqin agreed.
"Let's go down, I'll have to think about it again."
Cao Feiyan's face was condensed and painted, and her forehead was dizzy, "Don't startle the snake, there should be the rest of the accomplices." ”
Hug Qin responded, and said again, "Niangniang is still important." ”
"Hongu is fine."
The life and death of the Cao clan are only in the thought of the superiors.
But the queen mother never thought that Mama Rong in her last years would be so ruthless.
Cao Fu has never done anything to be sorry for her.
The big girl Guizhu gently pushed the door in, stepped over the carved threshold and the crane flying on the wind screen, bent down and lightly picked up the fan on the ground, and stepped forward:
"Do you want something to eat? You don't have much appetite these days, do you want to tell the kitchen to cook some soup? ”
The queen pursed her lips slightly, covered her chest with her hand and said:
"Things are too chaotic and too busy to eat, you can arrange for the kitchen to cook some medicinal soup."
Now it seemed that she had to meet the prince as soon as possible, talk about it properly, and lay all the issues out clearly.
If it's too late, I don't know how many dangers will arise.
These things must not reach the ears of the father.
Seeing that the queen had been pondering and did not understand the situation, Guizhu advised:
"Miss, no... Niangniang, listen to the slave's persuasion, you better go and rest for a while, you have been busy for most of the day, and you sleep slowly at night, don't be too tired. ”
"Okay, don't talk about it, you go out and arrange the medicine soup first, this palace knows it."
This eldest girl who has served herself before, and the children are almost fourteen or fifteen years old, and she is very loyal and sincere, but she is too nagging.
"Then good mother, the slave went out to make arrangements."
Gui Zhu left stupidly.
