The Nala clan also felt that this matter was quite difficult. If it were just the Qi Jia clan, the matter would have been solved long ago. However, the Niu Hulu clan came out halfway, making this matter out of her control.
Under Liu's cry, she said: "Let's do this. I will personally go to Qi Jia's residence. If I really can't find any trace of arsenic, I will believe in her innocence. As for Liu's promise, I will believe it."
She was just confused for a moment about the Sixth Brother incident, and she will never do something like that again now, so Concubine Xi should not think too much about it."
Nala was the queen after all, and Ling Ruo couldn't just go against her. Moreover, she knew very well what happened in her heart, and Qi Jia was the one who poisoned her.
Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't speak, she stood up and said: "Since we don't have any objections, let's go over there now. We can find out the truth earlier and clear our name earlier."
Under her words, Ling Ruo and Liu went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs together with Nala. Shui Xiu and others followed behind. When they were halfway along, Shui Xiu walked a few steps quickly and came to Ling Ruo's side.
Whispered, "Master, Qi Jia just said that the bag containing arsenic was still on the top of the cabinet before she could throw it away. Du Juan probably couldn't see the top of the cabinet, so she didn't notice it."
Ling Ruo nodded and whispered: "I know, I will adapt accordingly when the time comes."
After everyone entered the House of Internal Affairs, Qian Moduo quickly came out after receiving the news. After learning the purpose of Nala's visit, he smiled apologetically and said, "Empress, I will take you there."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Qian." Following Nala's words, Qian Moduo led the way and led them to the bungalow where Qi Jia lived.
The house looked very messy. It had obviously been searched. Almost every place where things could be hidden had been searched. Clothes were scattered all over the floor.
Nala signaled Xiao Ningzi to search, while she kept a close eye on Qi Jia. As long as she hid something here and was not found, she would definitely look at the place where the thing was hidden involuntarily.
Nala's guess was not wrong, but she missed one person. She could think of this, so how could Ling Ruo not think of it. Nala had just targeted Qi Jia, and Ling Ruo had already said: "Shui Xiu, you will
Qi Jia took it to a nearby room and examined it carefully.
Check to see if there is anything hidden on her body, so that the Queen will not always think that she is the poisoner." At this point, the topic changed and he said: "If the Queen is worried about Shuixiu checking it alone, she can
You can send someone to keep an eye on it."
The Nala family knew that Ling Ruo was deliberately driving away the Qi Jia family, and immediately said: "No need, if there was anything, she would have secretly thrown it away along the way, so it would not be our turn to check it."
Ling Ruo insisted: "There are so many pairs of eyes staring at her along the way. Where can she find an opportunity to throw it away? She'd better check carefully."
Nala stared at her for a while and said: "Even if you really want to check, there is no need to rush it. It will not be too late to check after the house is searched. Maybe the things are in the house."
Seeing her persistence, Ling Ruo had no choice but to give up, otherwise it would be too obvious.
Qi Jia kept trying to calm down and pretend that nothing was wrong, but when she heard Nala's words, she still couldn't help but tremble all over, and her eyes involuntarily glanced at the top of the cabinet.
Seeing her acting stupidly, Ling Ruo was secretly annoyed, but she couldn't show it in front of Nala, so she could only deliberately distract Qi Jia's attention. But in the end, Nala saw something.
Taking a clue, I walked to the large cabinet that was taller than a person. This was originally used by the palace maids who lived here to store their clothes. Now the clothes have all been rummaged through, and they are all empty at a glance. There is nothing hidden at all.
thing.
Du Juan walked to Nala's side and said, "Master, I searched carefully and Yitang checked one by one, and indeed found nothing unusual."
Nala nodded silently, but her eyes never left the cabinet, and then stepped back a few steps to observe the cabinet more comprehensively. Mrs. Liu had been following Nala, and when she saw her like this, she whispered: "
Madam, is there something strange about this cabinet?"
Nala glanced at the nervous Qi Jia, and became more sure that there was something wrong with the cabinet. After looking around, she finally focused on the top of the cabinet. She called Du Juan and said, "Have you looked at the top of the cabinet?"
Nala's words made Du Juan realize that there was a loophole in his search of the house, and he bit the bullet and said: "If I tell the master, there is none!"
Nala turned around and said, "Xiao Ningzi, go and see if there is anything wrong on the top of the cabinet."
Not to mention the Qi Jia family, even Ling Ruo became nervous. Seeing Xiao Ningzi bringing the stool over, he couldn't find a way to stop it. If Xiao Ningzi really found the bag of tips on the top of the cabinet, then
The proof is so solid that not even she can save the Qi Jia family.
Qi Jia was so panicked that she broke into a cold sweat and wanted to discuss a solution with Ling Ruo, but there were so many pairs of eyes in the room that she didn't even have a chance to speak.
Xiao Ningzi only stood for a while and then came down, holding a silver-red tip bag in her hand. As soon as she saw the tip bag, Qi Jia almost fainted, and unexpectedly...it was actually found. It's over.
It's over, she will definitely not escape death this time.
Ling Ruo's face turned ugly for a moment. This idiot Qi Jia didn't know how to destroy the evidence even after he had administered the poison. He actually left it like this on the top of the cabinet. He thought he was safe, but he didn't know that Nala had already left it.
Something was wrong in her expression, so she kept staring at the cabinet.
When Ms. Liu saw the tips bag in Xiao Ningzi's hand, her anxious expression was immediately wiped away, replaced by sneers and sarcasm. She stared at the ashen-faced Ms. Qi Jia and said, "Didn't you just say categorically about yourself?"
Wasn’t it poisoned? Then what’s the deal with this tip bag?”
"I...I..." Mrs. Qi Jia was so nervous that she couldn't speak. She regretted not destroying this kit in time, but there was no regret medicine in this world.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the sarcasm in Liu's eyes deepened, "What, you have nothing to say? It's true that you poisoned my meal, you are the murderer!"
Xiao Ningzi opened the brocade bag, which contained some white powder, which must be arsenic. After seeing the powder, Nala said to the gloomy Ling Ruo: "The noble concubine just said that Qi Jia is not a vicious person.
, would not do such a thing. At the moment, it seems that the Qi Jia family has disappointed the imperial concubine. The poison was definitely caused by the Qi Jia family. If Liu had not promised good luck and good fortune, and escaped the disaster, he would now be
Lost his life."
Hearing Nala's words, Mrs. Liu also remembered what Ling Ruo said before, and said coldly: "Yes, fortunately, the empress has been defending Qi Jia just now, and even poisoned herself because of her accusation of being a concubine, thus
Putting the blame on Qi Jia's family, you were deceived by her."
