Jin Xilan walked briskly to the courtyard where his mother was, and happened to bump into his mother's personal grandmother coming out of the house with a change of clothes.

Seeing Jin Xilan coming, Mama Jiang was overjoyed, "Miss, you're back!" ”

Jin Xilan was eager, "Is my mother okay?" ”

"Madame is in the house, she must be happy to see you coming!"

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by the smell of decoction, and the heavy curtain covers the window from a single light, making the room look dull.

Lin Yuetang was lying on the bed, her face was as pale as paper, and she breathed in and out like a gossamer.

"Mother's ......"

Jin Xilan crouched beside Lin Yuetang's bed, looking at his haggard mother, and his heart was like a knife.

Hearing her daughter's voice, Lin Yuetang slowly opened her eyes, and her weak eyes showed a little joy, "Lan'er, why are you here......?"

"Why don't you tell me when you're sick, and if I don't come, you're going to hide from me until you don't come."

Lin Yuetang couldn't exert his strength, and the corners of his mouth could only pull out a smile.

Mama Jiang on the side sighed and replied: "Madame was infected with a cold a few days ago, and she was weak, and I heard that you were bullied in Shi's house, and you were in a hurry, and you became more sick all of a sudden, the old slave wanted to invite you to come, but Madame was afraid that you were worried so ......."

Jin Xilan listened to it and felt even more uncomfortable, although her mother was weak, she had never been so sick.

Lin Yuetang patted Jin Xilan's hand and said slowly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, but you...... Was the Shi family wronged? ……”

"Your daughter won't be wronged, it's better for your daughter to prescribe some medicine for you if your body is not good, you ......."

Without waiting for Jin Xilan to finish speaking, Aunt Zhou's delicate voice came from outside the door.

"Miss, don't worry, Master Hou has already let the doctor take a look, and you don't know medical skills, this is nonsense."

Aunt Zhou also came with Changping Hou Jin Tao.

Jin Xilan sneered in her heart, and hurriedly followed her father, because she was afraid that she would expose her pickled matter.

Jin Tao couldn't help but show joy when he saw his daughter, "You don't say a word in advance when you come back, prepare for your father's subordinates." ”

"Originally, I wanted to ask my father about something, but I didn't want my mother to be sick, so I came to see my mother first."

Looking at his wife Jin Tao, who was lying on the bed, his heart was full of melancholy, and his face was also a lot haggard.

"Your mother hasn't thought about tea and rice since she was sick, and she couldn't eat a bite when she heard your news yesterday."

Jin Xilan looked worried, "It's better to go to the palace and ask the imperial doctor to come, the medicine used in the palace is excellent after all." ”

"Please don't be a royal doctor!"

Aunt Zhou stopped again, and when Jin Xilan's suspicious gaze stared at her, she felt that she had said the wrong thing.

"I ...... I mean, Madame's illness is not a serious illness, and the house doctor also said that it was an accidental cold, so why should you invite the imperial doctor to come, and then disturb the emperor and queen. ”

What she said seemed to be thoughtful, but Jin Xilan felt very strange.

At first, he didn't let himself see his mother, and now he frequently obstructs the imperial doctor, so there must be clues in it.

Lin Yuetang also felt that Aunt Zhou was right.

"This matter will no longer alarm the palace, and I will drink the medicine sent by Aunt Zhou every day on time."

"The medicine sent by Aunt Zhou?"

Jin Xilan looked at Aunt Zhou with a suspicious gaze.

"These days when your mother was sick, Aunt Zhou took care of her."

Jin Tao is very pleased with this, the back house is peaceful, and it is the most rare and valuable not to quarrel or fight.

took care of him, but his mother was getting sicker and sicker, and Jin Xilan couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Since I don't want to alarm the imperial doctor, and I don't want to go to the house to ask for someone, then I'll check my mother's pulse."

After that, Jin Xilan ordered Ru You to take out the pulse diagnosis.

Aunt Zhou smiled lightly, "The eldest lady will talk about prescribing medicine for a while, and talking about diagnosing the pulse for a while, when will you pass these." ”

"In the past, I didn't, but later I was enlightened by a master, and I was idle in Shifu, so I thought about it."

Aunt Zhou's expression stiffened slightly, could it be that she really has the ability?

Aunt Zhou stood behind Jin Tao, looking calm, but in fact, her eyes flickered uneasily, and she glanced at Jin Xilan vigorously.

Jin Xilan's fingertips carefully probed the pulse, and there seemed to be no other abnormalities except that the pulse was floating like a gossamer, weak and weak.

But Aunt Zhou is abnormal everywhere, and Jin Xilan concluded that this matter is not simple.

"Ruyou, bring me my needle bag."

If the pulse cannot be diagnosed, then the needle is administered.

In acupuncture at key acupuncture points, if there are toxins in the body, silver needles will inevitably react.

Jin Xilan pierced the three silver needles in turn in Taichong Acupoint, Shangqiu Acupoint, and Hegu Acupoint.

Within half a moment, the shiny silver needle gradually turned jet black from the tip of the needle.

Sure enough, someone poisoned his mother!

Jin Xilan pulled out the silver needle and turned his eyes to look at Jin Tao, "Father, if this needle turns black, someone poisoned it!" ”

Jin Tao was furious, "What a boldness! Who the hell doesn't want to do poisoning with a head! ”

Mama Jiang looked surprised, "It's impossible, we will check Madame's diet every day, and there has never been a problem, not to mention that Madame doesn't think about tea and dinner these days, and only drinks decoction and medicine every day." ”

Decoction?

Jin Xilan frowned, "Where is the medicine, let me see." ”

"The medicine is sent by Aunt Zhou herself every day, and Mrs. just drank the medicine before the eldest lady came, and there is still half of it in the medicine cup, you see."

Mama Jiang handed the medicine cup forward.

Aunt Zhou on the side couldn't sit still, and hurriedly spoke: "Does the eldest lady suspect me?" This medicine is prescribed by the government doctor, I am only responsible for cooking the medicine, if you don't understand, you can't talk nonsense, this is not a child's play. ”

Hearing this, Jin Xilan looked at her with a fierce gaze, a cold expression, and said indifferently: "Aunt Zhou thinks I will laugh with you with my mother's life?" ”

Jin Xilan sniffed the decoction, and there was nothing unusual in the decoction, but after she checked it carefully, she found clues.

The color of the bottle and lid of the cup does not appear to be consistent.

The bottle is dull in color with a light yellowish brown tint, while the lid is a clear milky white.

Jin Xilan had a flash of inspiration.

"Come on, go get a basin of hot water."

Then, Jin Xilan soaked the wiped medicine cup in boiling hot water and soaked it, and after a while, the medicine cup began to spread a faint tan color, and the silver needle was stained in the water, and the tip of the needle became black.

Jin Xilan frowned tightly, and sure enough, the problem was in this medicine cup.

"It's come to this, what else does Aunt Zhou have to say."

Aunt Zhou's face was extremely ugly, "I don't know...... It's not something I did! ……”

"Smack!"

Jin Tao was furious and slapped Aunt Zhou, "Every day, you personally cook the medicine and deliver the medicine yourself, this pair of jade cups is your dowry, how can you quibble!" ”

Aunt Zhou covered her face with her hands and looked at Jin Tao with a stunned expression, "Master Hou, I ......"

"Shut up! You said that Bai Yu boiled medicine to nourish people, Ben Hou thought you were kind, but who knew that you were trying to harm people! ”

"Master Hou, listen to me! I ......"

"Drag her down, confine Zhou Yuan, and don't allow her to go out for half a step!"

"Master Hou! The concubine is wrong! You forgive me! ……”

Aunt Zhou had never seen Hou Ye so angry, but no matter how she cried, Jin Tao didn't look at her.
