Chapter 69 The person in the palace

When Lin Xuanyu and others went out, all the maids of honor had arrived. No one knew what had happened, and they all knelt on the ground tremblingly. The leader is Chunhua, the grand maid of honor, who is said to be the grand maid of honor, but in fact, because of Zhuxiang, she has not been reused by Lin Xuanyu. It's just about managing the miscellaneous things in the palace, and she rarely goes out with her master.

Lin Xuanyu stood in front of everyone without saying a word. He walked slowly from the side of the team and walked back step by step. His sharp eyes were like knives on the people on the ground. Ling Xiao sat aside and watched at this time. At this time, she didn't need to intervene. She just needed to add some oil and vinegar at the right time.

"Lizhu, I heard that you gave my medicine to Zhuxiang today?" Lin Xuanyu stood in front of Lizhu and asked.

At this time, when listening to her question, the others heard it. There must be something wrong with the master's medicine. This is to be held accountable. Suddenly, some people were glad, and some people lamented. Little master, yes, it's a slave. Li Zhu said tremblingly.

"What are you nervous about?" Lin Xuanyu smiled slightly, but his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. "From the time you took the medicine from the imperial doctor to the time it was cooked and sent over, did you do it?"

Just as Li Zhu was about to answer, Zhu Xiang interrupted, "You can figure it out. Maybe it's about life and death."

This could scare Li Zhu. She panicked, but she also recalled it carefully and replied, "It's true that they are all handled by maidservants, but they don't..."

"Nothing?" Lin Xuanyu stopped her words and swept her sharp eyes, "I didn't say anything?" What do you want to argue about?

Pear beads were so scared that they were about to cry, "My maidservant...servant..."

Seeing her like this, Lin Xuanyu no longer scared her. As she saw, the little girl did not have the courage and heart. This was just to scare the real murderer. However, if you want to find out, I'm afraid you still have to start with her. After all, she made this medicine, and she can't escape.

"Cunhua, everyone in the Yuxi Hall has arrived?" Lin Xuanyu suddenly thought that she was very ordinary to this big maid. Wouldn't she hold a grudge and turn to someone to harm her? So she casually asked her to see if she would show a guilty heart.

Unexpectedly, she was very calm and replied calmly, "Lord, the people in the palace in the Xixi Hall have basically arrived, only Huizhu has not arrived yet."

Huizhu? Yes, how can I forget this cheap maidservant? Since the dress theft incident, she has been demoted to be the most tiring and dirty work in the palace, but she hasn't seen her for a long time, and she almost forgot that there is such a person. That can't be her, can it? When Lin Xuanyu thought of this, she secretly rejected it in her heart. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she didn't have the opportunity and ability. Now when she heard this, she frowned and asked, "Why didn't she come?"

"Go back to the little master, Huizhu is going to clean the toilet in the Xuanxi Hall tonight. When the green fog comes to inform, she has not completed the task, and... it may not be convenient for the little master to come to teach." Chunhua said it very gently, and if it doesn't come for other reasons, it's naturally too presumptuous, but it's understandable to clean the toilet...

It seems that this big maid is quite good at doing things. It should be time to rest in the evening, but Huizhu is still cleaning the toilet. Obviously, she can see the master's disgust with her and deliberately toss her. If this matter has nothing to do with her, it's not bad to use it more in the future, and it's quite cautious.

"Go and call her over." It's still important to deal with the matter in front of you. Lin Xuanyu said, and then added, "Try her to clean it briefly."

"Miss, I think the eight achievements are made by this Huizhu." When Chun Hua went out to call people, Qingwu quietly said to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao made a silent gesture.

After a while, Huizhu followed Chunhua and came in. As soon as she walked in, a faint smell followed, and everyone couldn't help frowning.

"Little Lord." Huizhu came in and saw so many people. She obviously stiffened, and then kowtowed in front of Lin Xuanyu.

Lin Xuanyu hadn't asked yet, but he found a trace of suspicion and unnaturalness flashed on Lizhu's face, and Yu Guang secretly glanced at Huizhu. So she turned to the questioning partner and said to Li Zhu again, "Li Zhu, I'll ask you again, is it only your hand from receiving the medicine to boiling, and no one else has ever touched it in the middle."

Although the weather was cold at this time, there was obvious sweat on the head of the pear beads, and she did not dare to wipe it with her hands. Hearing the question, she hesitated, "It's really only in the hands of a slave, just when I went to get the medicine..."

"Pear beads, you can eat rice indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense." Huizhu, who was originally calm, suddenly looked up and said to Lizhu.

Lin Xuanyu threw an eye knife, and Huizhu's heart trembled and she didn't dare to say anything.

Li Zhu squeezed her lips, took a look at Huizhu, hesitated for a moment, and continued to say, "I met Huizhu when I was receiving the medicine. At that time, she was by my side, and we chatted a few words." After saying that, she hurriedly explained and said, "But she didn't come into contact with the little owner's medicine, so she shouldn't..."

"Okay, Lizhu, you talk too much." Zhu Xiang interrupted.

Lin Xuanyu took a thoughtful look at Huizhu. Seeing that her head was very low, she couldn't see clearly and asked, "What were you doing in the Tai Hospital at that time?"

"I'm a maidservant, I got a cold, so I took some cow yellow in the hospital, and it's hot." Huizhu answered cautiously.

The people in the palace of the past dynasties are not qualified to let the imperial doctor see a doctor when they are sick, but this dynasty is different. In those years, the Taizu emperor set a rule saying that they should not regard the palace people as grass mustard, but also have appropriate compassion. Therefore, even if the palace people can't treat the imperial doctor for special diagnosis and treatment, they can make a simple treatment when the imperial doctor is free. It's okay to take some medicine for each pulse.

Although Ling Xiao didn't say a word, she had been carefully observing everyone's expressions and words. She had already suspected this Huizhu, and she felt even more strange when she heard it. You should know that Niuhuang, which is cool in nature, is used for relieving fever, detoxification and relieving shock. It is one of the flavors in the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, and it is also the extra flavor in the bowl of medicine in question!

Lin Xuanyu didn't know the reason very well, but he still asked, "What about the cow yellow retrieved?"

"The maidservant has taken it." Huizhu raised her head slightly, and now she is more and more calm.

"You're lying!" Ling Xiao finally stood up from his seat and came over and said coldly to Huizhu.

Everyone was shocked, especially Huizhu, who panicked for a moment. Although she covered it well, she still couldn't escape Ling Xiao's eyes. She asked unwillingly, "How does Ling Xiaozhu think that the maidservant is lying? The maidservant has the wind and cold and needs Niuhuang. Several imperial doctors in the imperial hospital can testify, even Zhuxiang, who also saw the imperial doctor talking to me with his own eyes.

Ling Xiao disdained a "hum" and said, "Although you look haggard because of your work, you pretend to cough once or twice, and the general imperial doctor will definitely not do his best for the palace people. It's not strange to believe you at a glance. However, people with cold have strong brain pain in the back. They are afraid of the cold and wind. They usually wear a lot of clothes and have a stuffy nose or runny nose. And these symptoms... You don't seem to have it? Isn't it that you have done a lot of rough work, and you are particularly strong. On a winter night, a sick person wears less than a healthy person. But if so, how do you explain that you have a cold?

When asked, Huizhu showed an obviously panicked expression. Even if she wanted to suppress it, it was difficult to adjust it for a while. It's difficult to disguise it now. It doesn't mean how stupid she is. Since she has to disguise, she naturally has to think about it in advance. The key is that she was sent by Chunhua to clean the toilet before coming here. It was already smelly inside, and it was even more uncomfortable to sweat. Naturally, she wore much less. After that, he was called over in a hurry and had no time to prepare.

As for other symptoms, such as runny nose can't be installed at all. If you have a headache and cough, you can't see it externally. Otherwise, how can you hide the imperial doctor? But it's still because you just came out of the toilet. It's disgusting and resentful. I didn't expect this layer at once. What's more, she didn't expect that Lin Xuanyu would attack, not to mention that it was so fast that she finally had a chance to do it, and she was caught for the first time.

"I don't know what to say? Then let me speak for you." Ling Xiao sat down on the pear wood carved chair on the side, took the tea handed over by the green fog, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said, "You don't have a cold at all. Since you don't have a cold, then of course, you didn't eat those cow yellow. So, where did they go?"

"Master Ling! Don't talk nonsense!" Huizhu suddenly raised her head, stared at Ling Xiao and said, "Even if I didn't get sick, I felt uncomfortable and thought I had a cold. What's wrong with going to the hospital to ask for some medicine to prevent it? Is it impossible for Ling Xiaozhu to wrong the slaves today, or do you think that the lives of our people are not lives, just like grass mustard that are not worth paying attention to.

Huizhu's words can't be said to be vicious. Whether it is intentional injustice or contempt for human life, it is a great loss of the queen's virtue. She deliberately said this to make Ling Xiao confused and speechless.

Ling Xiao heard this, but he smiled and was extremely disdainful. He asked a sentence that seemed to be unable to hit the eight poles, "Cunhua, how much is the monthly money of the lower-class maidservant in the Yaoxi Hall?"

Chunhua is still the look of flattered and humiliating. She replied respectfully, "Go back to the little master, the monthly money of the middle and lower maidservant in the Xuanxi Hall is half of the ordinary palace people's monthly money, and two taels of silver per month."

"So, what's the cheapest cow yellow price?" Ling Xiao nodded and turned around and asked Huizhu with a smile.

Hearing this, Huizhu's face changed, and she was still arrogant. She replied, "You can buy about five taels of silver."

"Well, the price of cow yellow is comparable to gold, and even the most common quality is nearly ten taels of silver for one or two!" Ling Xiao looked at her contemptuously and said, "Even if you really have a cold, there is no need to use such a good medicine, right? What's more, you just suspect that you have a cold. Ask here, who believes that your maidservant, who spends two taels a month, is willing to splurge so much?

The green fog spat at Huizhu and sarcastically said, "You bitch! Don't you have any knowledge about my little master? Do you dare to show your ugly little tricks?!"
