Chapter 68 Pull the snake out of the hole and trap the mole

The first year of entering the palace was about to pass. I didn't expect such a thing to happen again at this time. Although it was not sure who did it, Ling Xiao and Lin Xuanyu were determined to find this person out.

Lin Xuanyu himself is a little water-based, which is spared, and because his body foundation has been good since he was a child, and it will be almost better in a few days. But externally, it still looks like it is sick and about to be braided. No, not only to the outside world, except for Lingxiao, Qingwu and Zhuxiang, many people in the Xixi Hall actually don't know that Lin Xuanyu is actually well.

"A few days ago, because my sister's health had not recovered, I didn't dare to take risks easily, so I put this plan forward until now." Ling Xiao asked Qingwu to guard the door outside and said mysteriously to Lin Xuanyu, "Next, my sister still has to pretend to be very weak, but don't get better."

Lin Xuanyu thought about it. After a moment, he replied, "You mean, you want me to pretend to be sick and lead the snake out of the hole?"

"Yes, you haven't recovered before, so you can't relax your vigilance, so whether we decoct medicine or something else, we are very careful, otherwise if the recovery is delayed, it will not be worth the loss. But now, since my sister's health is still recovering and she doesn't need to take any more medicine, then give them some opportunities. It's not easy for them to listen to the whole weather. Ling Xiao nodded.

Zhu Xiang also agreed on the side: "Yes, which black-hearted person is going to hurt my young lady? If I know, I will definitely bite her meat twice."

"But how can you be sure that the man will come out?" Lin Xuanyu asked, "I'm afraid that man's real target is not me at all. What does it matter if I don't die? It's just knocking on the mountain and shocking the tiger. It's time to be careful. Will that person easily take the bait?"

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, obviously in his chest, and said, "Under normal circumstances, it's not, but if so, what if you vaguely see that person's face?"

Lin Xuanyu and Zhu Xiang were stunned and said, "We didn't see it?"

"When Xuan Guiren fell into the water, he was frightened. For a moment, he didn't remember the situation at that time in a trance, but now he has slightly improved under the treatment of the imperial doctor, and he vaguely remembered something." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

After saying this, both of them understood. They also smiled and said along the words, "I remember something a little. The murderer must be nervous, and when he is nervous, he must show something suspicious. However, it hasn't fully recovered yet, and the medicine that should be drunk is still drunk, but the people around him are not so nervous and relaxed their guard. That person can naturally think of a way to deal with it.

"That's right. Even if you can't catch the real murderer at that time, you will definitely be able to find the mole in the Xiguan."

In the next few days, it gradually spread in the palace that Xuan Guiren may have seen the murderer's appearance, but because he was frightened, his memory was still a little blurred. After a while, he may be able to find the murderer out.

After that, Zhu Xiang deliberately handed over the medicine that Lin Xuanyu wanted to drink to other little maids to arrange. Of course, these drugs were quietly poured out, and every time, Ling Xiao personally checked whether there were any differences. As for who is in hand and who has done what, they all know it in their hearts.

For several days in a row, there is no difference. The medicine is still those drugs. Ling Xiao has no problem with every check. However, they are not discouraged. This matter still needs to be added to the fire.

"Guiren Xuan, do you remember it? When you think of it, tell the emperor or queen quickly, do you still want to keep such a vicious person? On this day, many concubines came to visit, and the strange beauty asked, "What did Dr. Yu say? When will the body fully recover?"

Lin Xuanyu coughed, pulled the collar, and replied, "I know my sister cares about me, but I've been dizzy these two days. That figure is too vague. Even if... even if it's a little similar, I dare not say it easily. In case I wronged people, it's my big sin. But it's okay. The doctor said it's fast. I'm recovering well. I'll get better in a few days.

"If you know who the murderer is, you must put her to death!" Qin Xiaoyuan said with hatred.

Ling Xiao nodded, "That's natural. If it's someone else, it's better. If it's a person in this Xiguan, then it's really not a pity to eat inside and die. It's not enough to atone for his sins without torture." With that, he glanced at everyone standing in the hall, and his sharp eyes swept through everyone's face inch by inch.

Ling Wanyi said so. In order to show her sympathy for Xuan Guiren and indignation for the wicked, the concubines present naturally began to discuss how to punish the wicked one by one, which was more terrible.

"You should pay attention to it tonight." In the evening, Lin Xuanyu told Zhu Xiang and the two trusted eunuchs to let them pay attention to everyone secretly and be vigilant.

"Sister, if it doesn't come as expected, that person will not be able to stand it tonight." Ling Xiao sat aside with a cold smile on the corners of his mouth, "Unless that person is really not from the Xixi Hall, or is particularly calm. However, in my opinion, neither of these may be big.

Lin Xuanyu smiled and said nothing, combing her hair calmly, but the slight trembling of the comb exposed her inner tension.

The next step is to wait.

Half an hour later, the medicine came. Ling Xiao took out the silver needle and inserted it into the thick black soup. After a long time, he took it out. The silver light was still the same, and there was no change.

But it doesn't matter. Silver needle poison testing is just an ordinary test method, but anyone with a little brain will not use the stupid method of poisoning, so Ling Xiao and others did not put too much hope on it.

Ling Xiao put away the silver needle, picked up the medicine bowl and put it at the end of his nose, closed his eyes, smelled the breath of the medicine, and tried his best to distinguish the drug components. Everyone also looked at her face nervously, trying to see a clue in advance.

After a while, Ling Xiao opened his eyes, but didn't say anything. He picked up the spoon and scooped a little black and sticky juice to send it to his mouth. Stopped by Lin Xuanyu, she said with a serious look, "Xiaoer, if you can't distinguish it by smell alone, forget it. I'm already very grateful that you can help me like this. I can't burden you anymore. If there is something poisonous in this medicine that hurts you, won't I feel guilty for life?"

"Little Lord Lin, don't worry, my lady's medical skills are very good. When you were poisoned, even the imperial doctor was helpless, but my young lady knew what to do at a glance." Qingwu was persuading.

Of course, Zhu Xiang hopes that his young lady is good, but after all, it is a matter of letting others take risks. How can she say so much as a maidservant? Now Qingwu said it, so he also said, "Yes, you fainted at that time, but the maidservant was in my eyes. If it weren't for Ling Xiaozhu, you, you might be gone." On the one thing, these words reassured Lin Xuanyu, and on the other, he praised Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao just smiled indifferently when she heard it. Although she was not as powerful as Qingwu said in medical skills, she was still quite confident in her ability to distinguish drugs. Sister, it's okay. Since the silver needle has not changed color, even if there is a problem with this medicine, it just uses the mutual restraint effect of some drugs, or adds unfavorable ingredients for your physical condition. There will be no real poison. What's more, I just take a small sip. It will be fine.

That calmness alone can reassure Lin Xuanyu. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ling Xiao put the spoon in his mouth. The taste is no different from what I imagined. According to the prescription of the imperial doctor, it is completely no problem, but I always feel that things will not be so simple.

Looking at Ling Xiao's frown, Lin Xuanyu hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with this medicine?"

Ling Xiao shook his head slightly and said to Qing Wu, "Bring over the candlestick over there."

Although the blue fog was unknown, it still did so. When she brought the candlestick over, Ling Xiao wrapped the edge of the bowl of medicine with a handkerchief and carefully placed the bottom above the candlelight.

Others don't know what she is going to do, but anyway, they don't know, so they don't ask much. Just look. After a while, the original faint smell of medicine began to thicken, and the juice became thicker and thicker.

Taking off the bowl and putting it on the table, Ling Xiao scraped a little ointment from the edge with a spoon again - at this time, the soup had almost become a paste, put it on white paper, and crush it with the raised side of the spoon. Look at the candlelight again--

Sure enough! Sure enough, there is a problem. It was seen that when the black paste looked at the candlelight, there was a faint layer of turquoise on the surface. In this way, Ling Xiao basically knew it in her heart. When she took a little and put it in her mouth to distinguish it carefully, she already knew it.

This medicine is completely based on the prescription, which is no problem, but as I guessed at the beginning, someone reversed the amount of the two drugs, which should be less, more should be less. If there is no poison, of course, the silver needle can't be detected, and the poison is too easy to be found. And with this method, it can almost be said to be foolproof. Even if someone notices it, they can't find out why. If Liu Bo hadn't taught her many ways to distinguish drugs, she would have been helpless.

"This medicine is non-toxic and harmless." Ling Xiao sneered, "But my sister is in disorder and has a cold constitution. If she takes it for a long time, it will definitely make my sister's body weaker and weaker."

Lin Xuanyu was shocked. The so-called monthly disorder was originally intended to avoid spoiled nonsense, but others didn't know it, so they used this to design murder!

"Who got this medicine today? Who boiled it? How many hands did it take in total?" Lin Xuanyu slapped the table and said to Zhu Xiang, with a rare cold expression, " Hand over everyone in the Yuxi Hall to the front hall. I'm going to have a good trial!"

Zhu Xiang was also resentful at this time. She really dared to hurt people under her eyes. She hurried out to inform all the palace people to gather in the front hall.
