Seeing that she was speaking seriously, Cuizhu didn't dare to ask any more questions. She quickly went to get the medicine bowl, and then poured the medicine into the bowl. While she was doing this, Xianghan quietly threw the things in her hands out, and the things fell to the ground.
The sound attracted the attention of several people, and they subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. When they saw clearly the yellow object that rolled several times, they all exclaimed, "Gold ingot?"
Hearing these two words, almost everyone looked over, even Su Qiu was no exception. She couldn't figure it out, how could there be a gold ingot weighing almost twelve pounds in the imperial kitchen?
Almost... does not mean all of them. There is one person who has never seen that gold ingot that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime. There is only a stove between Su Qiu and Cuizhu, which allows her to
Quickly switch the two bowls of medicine without being noticed.
"Strange, why is there an ingot of gold here? Who dropped it?" As soon as Cuizhu finished speaking, there were voices one after another saying that the gold was dropped by them, and everyone stared at the ingot of gold with gleaming eyes.
Xianghan changed the medicine and accomplished the purpose of coming here. He then said to Cuizhu: "You don't care what other people do, as long as the gold ingot is not yours, go quickly, the master is still waiting."
Cuizhu thought about it, and took the medicine and went out with Xianghan. After her, Su Qiu also shook his head and left. As soon as he stepped out of the imperial pharmacy, he heard Cuizhu exclaim in shock: "Hey, this medicine is wrong!"
Hearing her sudden words, Xiang Han was almost frightened to death, especially when Su Qiu was just a few steps away from the two of them. If Su Qiu noticed the problem, all the previous efforts would be in vain. Thinking of this,
She quickly said: "What's wrong? Isn't this medicine good?"
Cuizhu insisted: "No, Sister Xianghan, I remember one time when I was taking a medicine bowl, I accidentally knocked the corner, so there were a little cracks on the edge of the bowl, but look at this one, there are no cracks at all, it's not
Isn’t it right? Do you think it could be..."
Seeing Su Qiu looking over, Xianghan quickly interrupted: "Maybe I took the wrong medicine bowl. It's not a big deal. You'd better go back quickly and don't keep the master waiting for too long."
"But..." Seeing that Cuizhu wanted to say something else, Xianghan didn't care whether it would arouse Su Qiu's suspicion and forcefully pulled Cuizhu away.
After they left, Su Qiu felt more and more strange as she thought about it. She carefully looked at the medicine bowl placed on the vermilion tray. This medicine bowl was exactly the same as the green bamboo one, except that there was a little crack on the edge of the bowl. In other words,
This one was Cuizhu's medicine bowl. She and Cuizhu took the wrong bowls, but they didn't notice because the patterns and colors were the same.
But... she remembered very clearly that her bowl had always been placed in the right corner, and she had taken it correctly just now. How could the two be exchanged? It really didn't make sense.
Su Qiu was thinking as she walked. When she was about to reach Yihuaju, a sudden inspiration flashed in her mind, and she remembered the gold ingot of unknown origin.
Things never appear for no reason, let alone such precious gold ingots. Obviously someone dropped them, but the people in the imperial kitchen are ordinary palace maids and eunuchs. Who would have such valuable things, even if they did,
They wouldn't carry it with them unless someone dropped it out on purpose to attract attention.
Yes, she remembered. When she found the gold ingot, she looked at it for a while, but did not pay attention to the medicine that had just been poured. If Cuizhu had changed the medicine bowl at that time, then everything would make sense.
This thought was already denied by her before she could finish it, because if Cuizhu had been replaced, she wouldn't have said such words just now. There should be someone else, and even Cuizhu was kept in the dark.
Xianghan - this name jumped out in Suqiu's mind. Everything happened after Xianghan came in. And she had been stopping Cuizhu from talking just now, and in the end she forcibly pulled Cuizhu away; that's right.
, it must be her, she secretly changed the medicine bowl; no, to be precise, she should have changed the medicine.
"Su Qiu? Su Qiu?" A voice sounded in Su Qiu's ears, waking her up from her meditation. When Ding Qing took a look, she saw the little eunuch in charge of sweeping at Changchun Palace looking at her with strange eyes, and asked quickly:
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, but shouldn't you be delivering the medicine to Guiren Xia? Why are you here?" After hearing the little eunuch's words, Su Qiu realized that he had arrived at the backyard without knowing it, and hurriedly said:
"Yes, why did you come here? You must have just lost your mind. I will send it to you right now."
Su Qiu came to Yihuaju in a hurry. Xia Qing was talking to the palace people. When he saw her coming in, he motioned for the palace people to go down. He said with a complicated expression: "After drinking this bowl, I don't think I need to drink it again in the future."
Got it." As she said that, she motioned to Su Qiu to bring the medicine over, but instead of handing it over, Su Qiu took a step back, her lips moving, not knowing what she was saying.
She looked like this, which made Xia Qing feel strange. She frowned and said, "Su Qiu, what's wrong?"
Su Qiu gritted his teeth and said: "Master, I suspect that this bowl of medicine has been mixed by Xiang Han, who is always around Wei, and I can't drink it."
Xia Qing looked solemn and said: "How did you get transferred? What happened?"
Su Qiu explained the matter in the imperial dining room in detail, then pointed to the edge of the bowl and said: "Master, look, there is a thin crack here, which is consistent with the description of Cuizhu. Coupled with Xianghan's unusual behavior, the servant is suspicious.
, when she used the gold ingot to attract the slave's attention, she secretly changed the medicine. This bowl is no longer an anti-fetal medicine, but..."
"Abortion pill!" Xia Qing spat out these three words coldly, and then sneered: "Wei Jingxuan, she really can't hold back and takes action."
"Then slave girl, please go to Dr. Jiangzhuang now for examination. If this bowl of medicine is indeed an abortion medicine, we will have enough evidence to prove that Wei Chang is here."
"Mr. Zhuang?" Xia Qing sneered, "Have you forgotten who he belongs to? If you call him here, he will definitely not tell the truth, and he might even take the opportunity to destroy this bowl of medicine."
When she said this, Su Qiu also thought about it, secretly blaming himself for being confused, and immediately said: "Then I'll go ask Imperial Doctor Zhou to come over. He is the most fair man, and he has always been valued by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, so there should be no problem.
"
"No need." Xia Qing stopped her and said: "Even if it is confirmed that this bowl of medicine is an abortion pill, how can you prove that it is a cold-flavored package? Has anyone seen it? Or is it written 'Wei Jingxuan' on this medicine bowl?
Three words."
Su Qiu was speechless by her question, and after a while she said: "Although no one saw it, the appearance of that ingot of gold was very strange, and there are green bamboos that can prove it. This medicine bowl belongs to Wei Changzai, that is,
It can indirectly prove that Xianghan adjusted the package."
