Chapter 55: Poisoning

The next day, when Mu Yan woke up, Shen Li was no longer around. Hongluan knocked on the door and came in to wait for her to get up, and when she saw her smiling face, she couldn't help but quip: "Miss, you can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon." Look, the third prince hurts you now!"

Mu Yan smiled silently, remembering what Shen Li said last night, and there was a burst of sweetness in her heart. The little maid was very interesting, and she was really happy to see her master's smoke. stopped messing around with her, put the food box he was carrying on the table, and brought out a plate of delicate pastries from it.

"What is this?"

Mu Yan raised her eyebrows puzzled, Hongluan pursed her mouth, pointed to the plate of pastries and said: "This is sent by Master Fang early in the morning, saying that it is a snack brought from someone at home, and I specially gave it to all masters to taste." ”

Mu Yan looked down, it was indeed very exquisite, and it looked delicious. So she couldn't help but reach for a piece, and was about to stuff it into her mouth, when suddenly a white shadow flashed and hit her hand, and the piece of pastry fell on the table, splashing crumbs.

The little ferret bared its teeth and glared at the pastry with a fierce look. This abnormal performance made Mu Yan, who was just about to get angry, pause, his eyes showed doubt, and he reached out and touched its little head to comfort it a little.

"It's strange, what's wrong with Xiaobai today? Isn't it quite well-behaved on weekdays. ”

Hongluan scratched his ears puzzled, since Mu Yan came back with the little guy from the Seven Princes' Mansion, he had been keeping the little guy in the house. Take it out to bask in the sun during the day, and let it play on the soft couch at night. Because I've always been well-behaved, I never shut it up. But who would have thought that it would suddenly look like this today?

Mu Yan's face was dark, and his eyes were shining. After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he looked up at Hongluan.

"Do you have a silver needle there?"

"Silver needle?" the little maid was puzzled, "what does the young lady want that thing for?"

"It's useful. ”

Mu Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, his heart was like a mirror. She has always been very popular, especially after coming here, she is surprisingly powerful. There was something she hadn't told anyone, because no one would believe her if she said it. The animals seemed to understand her thoughts, and she seemed to understand what they were saying.

Of course, she wasn't bored enough to experiment with all kinds of animals, just as a way to pass the time. So the abnormal behavior of the little ferret just now, she clearly knew that it was protecting her. The little ferret, which has always been docile, now has a fierce expression on the pastry, and there is probably only one reason.

"It's changed, it's darkened!"

Hongluan found a silver needle and handed it to Mu Yan, watching her poke the silver needle into the pastry. When I took it out after a while, it was actually black.

"Miss, what's going on?"

The little girl's face turned a little pale in surprise, Mu Yan threw the silver needle in her hand on the table, and snorted coldly: "It's nothing, it's just that someone wants to poison your young lady and me." ”

"Damn!"

Hongluan slapped the table violently, and her little eyes were red with anger. "The surname Fang is too much! On weekdays, it's just a matter of looking at people with long eyes and heads, and you can put up with your face to Miss. It's good that I dare to poison you! This, this is simply ......."

Mu Yan stretched out his hand to interrupt Hongluan's resentment, frowned lightly and fell into thought.

"You just said that she gave a copy of this snack to all the little masters?"

Hongluan suppressed the anger in her heart, nodded and said, "That's what the maid who gave me the pastry said. As for whether it was delivered or not, I don't know. ”

"Okay, Hongluan, come here. ”

Mu Yan waved his hand and motioned for Hongluan to put his ear over. The little maid didn't know what medicine was sold in her master's gourd, but when she saw her so ordered, she did so. Immediately, Mu Yan muttered in her ear that she didn't know what to say, the little girl turned her little eyes, her little face looked cunning, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Miss, I didn't realize until now that you are simply a talent! In the past, if you encountered this incident, most of you would have come to the door to teach that Fang Biling a lesson. Now that you are so calm and have come up with so many thoughts, I admire you so much. ”

Mu Yan angrily threw her a white eye. "What do you admire? Find her and teach her a lesson, and the matter will be solved? Stupid, that's the stupidest way, and people will definitely not admit it. ”

Hongluan nodded vigorously, looking deeply instructed.

"Well, but miss, I don't quite understand. Why do you suspect that this may not be the work of Master Fang? You see, this pastry was given by her, if it weren't for Xiaobai's cleverness this time, you would have been poisoned by eating the pastry. Such direct evidence is obviously that Master Fang is jealous of you when he sees that you have been very favored by the prince in recent days. ”

"Definitely. ”

Mu Yan shook his head, "Although I haven't been in the mansion for a long time, I haven't been with these concubines of the prince for a long time. But some people are so straightforward that you can see through it at a glance. And some people are quite deep in the city, so you can't guard against it. It's like Feng Ziying, I heard you tell you about her deeds at first, plus all kinds of things later, so I didn't pay attention to her, so I took precautions against her. But who would have expected that she would be framed in the end. Compared with Fang Biling, it is much simpler. Typical lip service, just playing lip service, no heart. So it's not that I underestimate her for poisoning, she really doesn't have the guts! If she has either become a scapegoat, someone must have instigated her behind it!"

"So Miss, you ......"

Mu Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth and chuckled, picked up the little ferret and touched his nose with it affectionately.

"So, we might as well plan and lead you into the urn!"

*

A sedan chair stopped at the door of King Rui's mansion, and Shen Li stepped off the sedan chair with a serious look on his face. The guards guarding the door saluted respectfully, bowed their heads and did not dare to breathe. He walked all the way to the study. As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I heard someone calling from afar.

"Lord, lord!"

Hongluan ran anxiously, and a thin sweat oozed from his forehead. Shen Li was already in a bad mood and had no intention of caring about anyone. But when she saw that it was Mu Yan's personal maid, she finally stopped patiently.

"Why are you so alarmed?"

"Little, Miss, she ......"

Because he was running too fast, he stopped at this moment, and Hongluan was already a little out of breath. The intermittent speech made Shen Li frown even more when he listened.

"What's wrong with Yan'er?"

Hongluan took a deep breath and stood up straight to look at Shen Li, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.

The young lady's heart suddenly hurt so badly that she couldn't even speak while lying on the bed. Lord, what can I do about this?"

"What?"

Shen Li exclaimed, waved his sleeves suddenly, turned around and walked towards the house where Mu Yan lived.
