Chapter 24 Miss the Governor was poisoned
"What's the matter, sister? Don't you like the taste?" Looking at her expression, Ling Xiao guess she didn't like it very much.
"Sister, if you don't like it, just spit it out. It doesn't matter." Yang Min advised.
As soon as this word came out, Ling Xiao said in his heart, a woman who doesn't know the rules! Even if you don't like it, how can you easily spit out the food you put in your mouth? What's more, it's still in public.
Sure enough, the rest of the people also frowned and looked at her. Yang Min himself may have noticed something wrong, and her face swelled purple. In this way, people can't bear to be harsh. However, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to the palace with such a nature.
"Vit's very good." This is, but Lin Xuanyu stretched his eyebrows, and his eyes were shining brightly, praising.
"Oh?"
"As Sister Ling said, this dish is very strange. When I first entered it, there was a faint smell. But if you are patient and taste it well, you will find that the fishy smell is slowly dissipating, and a trace of sweetness gradually appears under the taste buds. What's more wonderful is that after swallowing, there is still a faint fragrance in the throat.
"It seems that this dish is not something that everyone can taste. In the past, when I saw my mother like it, I also tried to use some. Immediately, I thought that I had never eaten such an unpleasant thing. Since then, I have never touched it again, but it turns out that the dishes are also exquisite. Luoshang is on the side road.
"That's natural. If Sister Lin doesn't have this kind of character, she will spit it out or swallow it urgently when she smells the disgusting smell. It's like someone else who misses a good dish." Yan Xurui also said.
"Since Sister Yan said so, why don't you have a bite?" Ling Xiao joked.
"This..." Yan Xurui smiled with embarrassment, "My sister lost her appetite in the early years. Now my son can't swallow it. Unlike Sister Lin's first taste, it's naturally different. Sister Lin, since you think it's delicious, eat more.
"Yes, miss, these are all yours. No one robs you." Zhu Xiang also laughed.
"Since my sisters don't like it, I'm not polite." Lin Xuanyu smiled and put a chopstick in his mouth.
After the dinner, there was only some red juice left on a plate of "red bowl", which was eaten by Lin Xuanyu.
"Sister Lin, I didn't expect you to eat a lot." Ling Xiao covered his mouth and smiled.
"I have always had a good appetite. In the house, I need to use two bowls of rice. My father kept saying that if I go on like this and eat a round belly, I will definitely not get married in the future. Lin Xuanyu looked at her stomach and was a little embarrassed.
"My sister's waist is slender and her figure is excellent. How can she be like what my uncle said?"
"Well, sometimes I'd rather grow worse so as not to participate in any labor draft." Lin Xuanyu sighed quietly.
"Sister, the draft is very sacred. How can it be called 'Lao Shizi'?" Ling Xiao glanced around and said carefully to Lin Xuanyu, "It's okay for our sisters to talk about it in private, but here... there are ears on the wall."
Lin Xuanyu knew that he had made a mistake and said, "My sister's words are reasonable."
Soon after arriving at the residence, the two entered the room separately.
"Miss, Miss Luo has gone too much to talk like that. Look at Miss Yang, who is delicate and timid. She has to be bullied when she goes out. What a pity for her young age. The green fog served Ling Xiao and took off his outer clothes and said.
"Just look at it. Do you think it's appropriate to talk about others easily?" Ling Xiao glanced at her indifferently.
"Yes, miss." Qingwu nodded, "I've been tired all day. Please take a rest."
"Hmm."
The green fog gently exited the door and walked to the Datong shop where the maidservant in the west slept.
As soon as Qingwu left, Ling Xiao put his hand under the pillow and took out the things in it. In fact, she just felt that it was unusual under the pillow, but she didn't know what it was. After thinking about it, it was better not to be seen by others.
Ling Xiao took out the object and looked at it. It turned out to be a necklace. A thin plain silver chain, and the pendant is a blooming flower.
Is it him? When did he put it here?
At this moment, Ling Xiao's heart was full of mixed flavors, and he was ashamed and sad. His nose was sour for a moment, and he burst into tears. The crystal tears just fell on the pendant of the chain, setting off the colorless silver flowers dazzlingly.
Ling Xiao silently put the necklace around his neck, got out of bed, took out the mirror and put it in front of him. There was a thin silver chain hanging on the slender and white neck, and the pendant hung under the collarbone, which set off the snow on the skin and white as jade. The silver flowers are flowing with shallow waves under the faint candlelight.
After only looking at it, Ling Xiao took it off and received it in the small box. I put down the mirror and was about to go back to ** to sleep, but there was a faint sound, as if it came from the next room.
I listened quietly, but it didn't seem to move. Maybe it's too tired in the daytime. It's bad to hear.
But at this time, there was another sound, as if the chair fell down. Now, Ling Xiao is uneasy. Is it something that happened to Lin Xuanyu?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly approved a dress, opened the door, and quickly walked to the door next door.
"Sister Lin, what's wrong with you? What's the matter?" Ling Xiao wanted to call her loudly, but he was afraid of shocking others, so he had to stick to the door and ask eagerly and softly.
"Sister...come in quickly, I..." Lin Xuanyu's weak voice came out, mixed with pain.
This time, Ling Xiao knew that something must have happened. I didn't expect that such a thing had happened before entering the palace. Are some people so impatient?
She immediately wanted to push the door in, but the door was locked and said urgently, "Sister Lin, come and open the door quickly. I can't get in."
Just as Ling Xiao was about to turn around and call someone, the door opened, and Lin Xuanyu covered his stomach in pain and leaned against the door.
Ling Xiao quickly came forward to hold her, closed the door, and helped her sit down in **. However, when she stepped into the room, she smelled a strange and familiar smell, and she couldn't help frowning.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know. It hasn't been long since I lay down... I started to have abdominal pain, but I don't want to be convenient... It's like someone pouring in my stomach." Lin Xuanyu said with difficulty.
"I'm going to tell Lord Huo to find a fellow imperial doctor." After saying that, Ling Xiao ran out.
After a moment, Huo Yurui came over with the imperial doctor. The situation is critical, and there is no need to take care of men and women's defense.
After passing the pulse, sweat clearly oozed from the doctor's forehead, "Huo, Lord Huo, this lady's disease..."
"What's wrong?" Huo Yurui and Ling Xiao spoke at the same time.
"Old minister, I really can't find out the reason." The imperial doctor wiped the cold sweat on his head again. If something happened to the girl, he could not afford it.
"Isn't it just abdominal pain? Isn't it a difficult and miscellaneous disease? I can't find out this. What's the use of you?" Huo Yurui scolded.
"Lord Huo, now is not the time to hold the responsibility. The imperial doctor is not careful." Ling Xiao persuaded. Just now, when the imperial doctor took her pulse, she seemed to think of something.
After she carefully distinguishing the odor in this room, she finally thought of what it was - this is the favorite kind of incense used by Phoenix girls, Poi Yin. It's just that when she came in, the smell had faded, and it was mixed with other spices, so she didn't smell it for a while.
She went to the table and looked carefully at the door. She didn't find any residue of this kind of spice. She was also puzzled. Did she think it wrong?
Seeing that she seemed to be looking for something in the room, Huo Yurui couldn't help asking, "Miss Ling, who are you?"
Ling Xiao frowned at this time and didn't want to explain. He still stared at the ground with all his heart.
Just as she was about to give up, she found a pinch of black powder in a small corner under the door. She couldn't help shouting, "I found it."
"What did you find?" Huo Yurui also found something wrong. He quickly stepped forward, took a look, and quickly turned to the doctor and said, "Come and see what this is."
The imperial doctor quickly walked over, carefully picked up the powder on the ground with Xiao Niezi, put it on the table, smelled it carefully, and then twisted it with his hand. Then, he poured a glass of boiled water from the pot, put the powder into the water, and watched for a moment. The water turned dark blue, and it seemed to be mixed with a little scarlet, which was very strange.
Ling Xiao saw that there was a calculation in his heart, and it was not true.
"Lord Hui Huo, this powder is a kind of remnant after the burning of spices. It is called Poi Yi. It is a specialty in Phoenix. Many women like to use it to smoke clothes." Seeing this, the imperial doctor's face also changed, but he still said respectfully to Huo Yurui.
"It's not only spices, but how can it make Miss Lin have such an uncomfortable disease?" Huo Yurui asked.
"It was originally non-toxic, but after checking, these powders are mixed with another kind of thing."
"What?"
"Zhuwan." Ling Xiao took the lead.
Huo Yurui looked at her and said, "How does Miss Lin know?"
How could she not know that when Yue Chan turned into that ghost, Zhu Wan had made a "great contribution". It's just that the ingredients are slightly different, and the components are different, and the symptoms are also different.
To talk about it, Yue Chan fell ill and was forced to go to the Beijing draft. She really suffered by herself. In order to destroy her marriage with Luo Liang, she used Poi Yin, Zhu Bowl and other drugs to make incense with a slight psychedelic effect, which attracted Ling Guan and successfully let him see the scene of Luo Liang's evil intentions.
However, what she didn't expect was that Yue Chan would come to her room before the medicine dissipated. It didn't matter. She absorbed a lot by herself, but the problem is... It's just that it's useless to think about it.
"Someone in my house had such a similar disease in the past, but now I just remembered it after listening to the imperial doctor." Ling Xiao said quietly, "The originally non-toxic incense has changed because of the addition of the red bowl. People who smell it will have abdominal pain and other discomforts, and those who are serious may even die.
"How to treat it?" Huo Yurui looked at the imperial doctor and said, "Is the medicinal materials still complete? If not, I will send someone out to buy them immediately."
"I only know the key, but I want to say how to treat it... I don't know this. Elsewhere, these two things are rare, so I have never encountered such a thing..."
