The poisoning has come to fruition.

Aunt Xu got the list of lunch materials for the day, and it turned out that the dead maid had eaten a few dog meat buns in the morning, and secretly drank a bowl of yellow eel soup before the luncheon. This dog meat and yellow eel are mutually restrictive food, and eating them together will produce highly toxic and cause death.

Presenting the evidence of food restraint recorded in the medical book, Ligu blushed, ashamed and hateful, and couldn't say anything if she twisted and pinched. The eldest princess leaned on the couch, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "It was a maid who gave away her life because she was greedy, but you wronged a good person in vain. Tell me to go down, tell Chef Lin's mother and daughter to recuperate for a few days, and make some nourishing decoction in the dining room and send it over, and make up for it. ”

Aunt Xu, who was standing on the side, nodded slightly, glanced at Aunt Li, and replied: "The words of the eldest princess are extremely true, when did such a wronged person happen in our mansion, but let the VIPs who came to the mansion bump into it that day, which damaged the face of the eldest princess and the king of Huajun. Speaking of this, Aunt Li also has to take care of it, and it is best to personally send the nourishing decoction to Lin Niang's mother and daughter. First, let people see that our house has clear rewards and punishments, and secondly, it will also wash away the injustices of Lin Niang and Zining, what does the eldest princess think?"

Aunt Xu's words were very agreeable, and the eldest princess said "um" and said: "Aunt Li, let's do it, the two ginseng sticks I got from the palace last time were taken together, and it was a waste to put them away, so that they could eat some for their mothers and mothers, so that they could grow and nourish their bodies." He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Ruochen, tell the dining room to prepare a bag of bird's nest, and you can send it with Ligu." ”

Aunt Li's face was red and white for a while, and she was silent, dissatisfied with Aunt Xu, but she didn't dare to show her face. I secretly hate Lin Niang and Zi Ning in my heart, and the inferior cooks outside the second gate give them ginseng for the royal use in the palace, and this cheap maid is also worthy!

Aunt Xu smiled on her face, nodded and agreed: "The slave will go and get it." Then he turned around and said to Ligu, who was full of embarrassment: "The medicinal soup is stewed in the dining room, Ligu will send it to Lin Niang and Zining first, and I will go over later." She knew that it was not too much to give Zining how much bird's nest she would eat. This poor girl suffered so much, but she watched it, but she was powerless to help, and she felt deeply guilty.

Ligu had no choice but to hold back her anger for the time being, saluted the eldest princess, and hurriedly retreated. The more I thought about it on the way, the more I was angry, so I went to the kitchen and picked up a food box containing medicinal soup and personally sent it outside the second door.

When they arrived at Lin Niang and Zi Ning's house, they didn't say a word, called a little maid, gave her the food box, and ordered: "This medicinal soup is rewarded by the eldest princess, you bring it in and give it to Lin Niang and Zi Ning to drink." When the little maid went, Ligu's face was gloomy, her brows were twisted together, and she hated Lin Niang's mother and daughter to the core.

When the slaves saw her ugly face, they retreated one after another, lest they would cause trouble.

Ligu raised her eyebrows, and suddenly remembered the little county lord Yuetong, the corners of her mouth hooked a sneer, seeing that it was still early, and she was idle and had nothing to do, so she just went to the Cailan Pavilion where the county lord lived, and it was also good to explore the county lord's tone.

......

The rain was pouring from the sky, and the big courtyard where Zi Ning lived was full of spring overnight, with wicker buds and stamens blooming. The slaves who lived in the courtyard outside the second gate got up early in the morning to work on errands, and they were busy serving the work in the house.

The two adobe houses at the northeast wall are in disrepair, and the black tiles on the eaves are broken in half, and the roof is pressed with green bricks so that the tiles do not fall off. Poultry droppings were scattered in the courtyard, mixed with the sour smell of sludge, and a flock of sparrows frolicked and chased, flying around an old tree in the courtyard, making a burst of noisy noise.

A pink and white-flowered apricot tree in front of the house has withered slightly after the cold rain, leaving only a few scattered clusters of flower branches hanging on the treetops. No matter how bright the flowers are, they can't escape the devastation of the cold wind and rain. Although the apricot blossoms are there now, they don't see the bright white satin silk of that day.

The thin morning mist had not yet dissipated, and Zi Ning lay silently for a long time, struggling to endure the pain all over her body. In the past few days, the injuries on my body have been reduced a lot, but my body is still extremely sore, and I can't get out of bed and walk around. I slept and woke up all day, woke up and fell asleep, and had countless strange dreams, but I couldn't remember the real and the various scenes in the dream.

But one thing is true, she came to an unfamiliar time, a completely strange place. Whether she wants to or not, whether she accepts everything in front of her or not, from now on, she will have to try her best to adapt in order to live well.

In the palace of Huajun in the Great Jin Kingdom, the king of Huajun is the nephew of the current queen mother, married the queen mother's daughter Princess Anping as his wife, and gave birth to a daughter Yuetong, and the emperor gave him the "lord of Huayao County".

There are thousands of servants and guests in the inner and outer courtyards of this palace, and there are all horsemen, coachmen, sedan chair drivers, handymen, and rough maids and women living outside the second gate. There were six or seven hundred of these low-class slaves, all of whom were poor people who sold themselves to live in the king's house. Outside the second gate, in the large courtyard enclosed by high walls, there were small houses next to each other, and the outer gate steward of the royal palace assigned them errands, and although the slaves barely survived, they also lived happily.

Zi Ning is a little maid among the many inferior slaves, and she is busy inside and outside the dining room with Ah Niang, but she is talented and intelligent, and she has learned good cooking skills, and she is a little cook in the dining room at the age of thirteen or fourteen. A clever little woman, who is independent of cooking and soup, has figured out some new dishes, which are good in color, flavor and taste, and no one in the dining room does not appreciate them.

"Whew!" Zi Ning took a deep breath, except for these basic conditions clearly imprinted in his mind, everything else was a mess, if he didn't think about it carefully, he couldn't figure out some clues.

In the past two days, I have not eaten a drop of water, and my body has been whipped heavily, and my body has long been weakened and dehydrated, my mouth is dry, and my lips are a little chapped. The body moved slightly, and the wound pulled at the muscles and pained.

He took out a folding fan from under the pillow of the bed, and gently stroked it with his hand, and a faint smell of sandalwood lingered around his nose. Zi Ning's heart throbbed for a moment, a layer of blush appeared on her pale face, and she sighed secretly: "It's a pity that a clever and talented girl, in the poisonous hands of her tragic mother, has completed a journey separated by thousands of years. Gu Ning'er, from now on, you have to forget yourself, in the Huajun Palace, in this Great Jin Kingdom, there is only Zi Ning, the rough maid in the big dining room, and there is no such person as Gu Ning'er!"

The fan slowly unfolded in her hand, and a smile bloomed on her face, like a delicate pink flower, like a tree with a bright blue shadow. To her, the Great Jin Kingdom is still like a dream, strange and full of unknown horror. Fortunately, there is this thing that warms her heart, the folding fan is clenched in her hand, the elegant smell of sandalwood and the tough and cold touch make her embarrassed and uneasy heart feel a real steadfastness.

"Who is he? Saved a dying little maid in danger, presumably a good man with good intentions. Zi Ning's messy thoughts gradually cleared up, recalling that the sons who participated in the banquet of the county lord and Lu that day, all of them were richly dressed, and after entering the banquet, they were like a cluster of flowers, and she couldn't see them with a pair of eyes. When lunch was served, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at it more, not noticing which boy was dressed in white brocade and gold.

The gorgeous white in his mind, Zi Ning couldn't help but murmur in his mouth: "Who is the life-saving benefactor?" sighed in his heart, a little depressed.

Turning her head, the seriously injured Chef Lin was still unconscious, covered with a thin quilt with a few coarse cloth patches. There was a messy bun on his head, a long pillow of wheat bran, his eyes were closed, and his breath was a little weak. His emaciated pale cheeks were covered with faint freckles, and there was a faintly red whiplash on his forehead.

Zi Ning sighed secretly, Lin Niang hasn't woken up these days, and she doesn't know if her body can withstand it. She crossed over and didn't have much affection for Lin Niang, but when she saw her lying still covered in injuries, she felt compassion, and suddenly remembered her parents, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Holding back tears, he raised his eyes to look around the room, where a small wooden table with short legs was beside the low bed, an oil lampstand and two coarse porcelain bowls were placed on the table, and several small long-necked porcelain vases wrapped in red cloth were stacked crookedly. There was an old mirror on the wooden shelf in front of the window, the copper surface was rusted with a faint dark blue, and she couldn't see the face in the mirror when she looked out.

Although the furnishings in the house are simple, they are clean and tidy.

Suddenly, the door of the room "creaked", Zi Ning turned her head in surprise, and a figure in dark yellow clothes flashed in front of her eyes, moving lightly and quickly, as if a breeze was blowing in.

The light in the room was dim, and before she could see who was coming, she suddenly felt a numbness in the back of her neck, and her eyes were confused, and she couldn't see anything for a moment. Zi Ning was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, desperately trying to scream, but her throat couldn't make the slightest sound, and her hands and feet couldn't move at all, thinking, "Could it be that he was clicked on the acupoint————?"
