As soon as these words came out, Li's face suddenly changed, especially when Yinzhen looked at her with a little doubt, and he immediately scolded: "What do you mean by this, sister? Do you think I am the one who harmed sister Ye? Seriously?"
It’s extremely ridiculous. I and Mr. Ye have always been close friends and sisters, and we were both pregnant one after another. How could we possibly have the intention to murder her?”
"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts, even sisters can turn against each other, let alone sisters who are just in love with each other. Ye was pregnant a few months earlier than her sister. She was supposed to have given birth first. If she gave birth to a boy, he would be the eldest son now, while her sister's child was only
Is it true that my sister is not unwilling to be reduced to the second son?" She smiled, but there was murderous intent in her smile.
"That's sheer nonsense." Mrs. Li angrily rebuked Mr. Nian and said coldly: "According to what you said, yes, my child may become the second son. What about you and others? They will give birth to children in the future.
The child is different, he is the second son. If you say that I have such thoughts, aren't you also talking about yourself and everyone here."
The two of them did not listen to Nala's advice at all, and continued to confront each other tit for tat, making Nala look helpless.
"Okay, stop talking!" Yinzhen interrupted them impatiently, pinched his brows, and had some concerns in his heart. He looked at the silent Rong Yuan and said, "I want to ask Dr. Xu to help check it out.
Check what you eat tonight to see if there is anything suspicious."
After Rong Yuan nodded in agreement, someone immediately brought over everything Ye Xiu used and gave him a careful inspection. He had looked at the past few snacks very quickly, and when he picked up the half-bowl of almond tea left, he dipped some in it.
After putting it in my mouth, my expression immediately changed.
Although the flavor of almond tea was extremely strong, he still tasted a hint of something that shouldn't be there. He tasted it again for fear of making a mistake, and finally confirmed that it was correct. He raised his head and said to Yinzhen, who had been waiting beside him: "This
Someone put safflower in the bowl of almond tea!"
"Safflower?!" Nala exclaimed. She knew very well what safflower was. If a woman didn't want a fetus in her belly, she would buy safflower, boil it in water and drink it. In a short time, the fetus would be aborted.
, becomes a pool of dirty blood, and ordinary pregnant women are afraid to avoid it.
Mrs. Li's face turned pale, and she subconsciously glanced at the place where she was sitting. She saw a bowl of the same almond tea sitting quietly on the small table, with unconcealable panic in her eyes.
At the same time, Ling Ruo's heart was beating wildly. Almond tea...how could it be such a coincidence? She was led to the kitchen and happened to bump into Li Zhong. Immediately afterwards, safflower was found in the almond tea, and it was a little short.
The more she thought about Ye Xiu's miscarriage, the more she felt something was wrong, as if there was an invisible black hand behind everything.
Yinzhen was so furious that he slapped the rosewood table with his palm so hard that the teacup jumped high and splashed water on his hands. He shouted angrily: "It's so brave to actually take this seriously!
Tell me, who is so crazy?"
Nian raised her eyebrows, turned her eyes slightly and said, "I remember that all the food in Qingyin Pavilion today was prepared for the direct descendant of Fujin." Whether it was the direct descendant of Fujin or the Li family, it was the same to her.
"Fu Jin..." Yinzhen looked at the frightened Nala. Although he didn't say anything, the question was very obvious. There was a narrow and cold luster in his slightly narrowed eyes, which was intimidating.
Nala hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master Beile and I have been married for many years. Master Beile knows best what kind of person I am. The food in Qingyin Pavilion today was indeed prepared by me, but I can swear to God
There are never any red flowers among them." She lowered her eyelids, and her ciliated eyelashes covered her
With a sad look, "I have lost a child, and I know that the pain of losing a child is unbearable. How can I have the heart to inflict such pain on others? What's more, when something happened to Ye, she was the first one to be killed.
The person who doubts it must be my concubine, so it would be foolish to do so and seek death."
Just as Nala said, if something happens to someone, she will be the first person to be suspected. Doing this will do her no good at all. Thinking of Nala's usual behavior, Yinzhen suddenly felt that he had just doubted her.
There is no basis for it. I heard her mention Honghui again.
Guang softened unconsciously, and his doubts melted away as quickly as ice and snow, replaced by deep guilt and pity. He looked at Nalash's slightly trembling body and said: "I understand, you are not in good health, so don't kneel down. Jade,
Help your master up."
The corners of Nian's lips twitched slightly and he sneered: "You can't catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den. If Imperial Physician Xu hadn't been here today, how would he have known that someone had secretly added safflower to the almond tea? Naturally, no one would doubt you, the direct descendant of Fujin."
.”
Faced with Nian's repeated provocations, Nala couldn't help but darken her face no matter how good her temper was. She stood up with Jade's hand and said coldly: "I also remember that the water used to make tea today came from my sister.
Bei, if you say it's suspicious, wouldn't it mean that my sister is also suspicious?"
Nian never expected that Nala would involve her, and her expression suddenly changed. She was so careless that she forgot about it. If this caused Yinzhen to become suspicious of her, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, she quickly defended herself.
He cried out to Qu Lai, "I have been wronged. I haven't touched this water since it was brought down from Yuquan Mountain. How could I put medicine in it? What's more, if it were put in the water, wouldn't all the tea have red flowers in it?"
"Whether it is, please let Dr. Xu take a look and find out." At Nala's request, Rong Yuan checked other things and found no trace of safflower in other tea and snacks, but there was safflower in every bowl of almond tea.
Yes, no matter which cup Ye Xiu drinks, the result will be the same.
Safflower is a medicine that promotes blood circulation. Although it is taboo for pregnant women, it is harmless to ordinary people. In other words, even if safflower is put in all tea, others will not notice it at all.
Nala's heart sank when she heard that all almond tea contained safflower. Ye Xiu was not the only one pregnant in the house at this time. She quickly walked to Mrs. Li and said worriedly: "Sister, are you really okay? What about the almond tea?"
…”
"Don't worry, Mr. Beile, I haven't even drank a sip of the almond tea." Mrs. Li gave him a reassuring smile, "Just now, I suddenly felt stuffy and nauseated in my chest, and couldn't eat at all. I've been keeping this almond tea since it was served.
There's not even a drop of it on the side. If Lord Beile is worried..." Mrs. Li glanced at Qingrong and said, "Go and show my bowl of almond tea to Lord Beile."
This almond tea is rich and mellow. If you drink it, you will definitely leave traces on the rim of the bowl. Qingrong picked up Li's bowl of almond tea and turned around to walk away. However, she accidentally tripped over a chair when she walked halfway.
Her center of gravity was unsteady and she fell to the ground. The tea cup in her hand was smashed to pieces. Qingrong ignored the pain on her body and quickly knelt down to apologize.
"You girl, why are you always so clumsy? You deserve to die." Mrs. Li scolded her unhappily. When she was about to say something else, Yinzhen waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's just a small matter. The most important thing is that you and the child are fine.
.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li smiled softly, put her hand on her belly that had not yet been exposed, and said, "I will definitely protect our child to the death and never let anything happen to him. As for the drug..." She paused and said, "
Forgive me for speaking frankly, but food and water are indeed the direct blessings of the Jin Dynasty.
Sister Nian was well prepared, but she had to deal with many people during the period, and the kitchen was not a confidential place. Anyone could come and go freely, so it was not difficult to administer the drug. Instead of guessing out of thin air, it was better to ask someone to ask if anyone had ever
Been in and out of the kitchen."
Yinzhen thought for a while and felt that what she said made sense. He called the dog and asked him to call Li Zhong. He brewed the almond tea. If it was suspicious, he would be the most suspicious.
Ling Ruo's heart sank more and more. She could almost predict that if Li Zhong came and asked him a little, whether he met her by chance or by necessity, he would tell her that she had appeared near the kitchen. By then, she was afraid that all doubts would disappear.
Focusing on herself, now she can only beg for the backhand she has laid out to be useful.
[Author's digression]: I'm very sorry to keep everyone waiting. My baby is sick, which has messed up my own life. It's already very late when I go back to my mother's house to see the baby every day, and then I have to wait for her to sleep before I have time to code.
The baby keeps vomiting. Fortunately, my mother is taking care of me. Otherwise, I would not be able to bear it alone.
