Chapter 73 Poison 1
Just when Luo Xiyao thought that Princess Ronghui was going to continue to question her, she heard Princess Ronghui say: "That's enough, there's no need to read the Nushu, let's talk about Spring and Autumn!"

"Okay." Luo Xiyao didn't ask any further questions, she thought that they had already got the answer from each other.

Princess Ronghui told stories much better than monks chanting scriptures, but Luo Xiyao was still a little lost in thought. She didn't lie down on the desk until Princess Ronghui said to rest for a while.

Eldest Princess Ronghui laughed, "I think telling stories is still interesting."

Luo Xiyao also laughed, "The eldest princess also told a story."

No matter how interesting the story is, it is just a story. The people and things recorded in the book have been polished. Who knows what it is?
The two were talking, and the maid brought in some snacks.

The palace maid bowed and said: "I have seen the eldest princess. The slave servant was ordered by the empress dowager to present the Mingqian Longjing to the eldest princess. Princess Ning Xin heard that you like to eat rose cakes from the imperial dining room, so she also had someone make them and send them to you."

With that said, the maid stepped forward to set up the refreshments.

Princess Ronghui likes to drink bitter tea and eat desserts, "Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother still remembers."

The maid saluted and said: "The Queen Mother has been talking about the favorites of the Eldest Princess at night, and I asked the aunt in charge to arrange it early this morning! And this rose cake, because there are no roses in the imperial dining room at this time, Princess Ning Xin went to find the noble concubine Madam wants it."

When the words fell, she was about to leave.

Luo Xiyao picked up a piece of rose cake and sniffed it, smiling meaningfully, "The rose is mixed with oleander, it will be sweet and greasy with a hint of fishy smell, which imperial chef made it? Call me to let me see, this kind of Dare to eat things, the nobles in the palace have iron stomachs, right? Otherwise, if you eat a few more yuan, you won’t know how you died.”

Princess Ronghui's hand stopped, and the rose cake fell on the table. Because it was still crispy just out of the pan, the golden skin scattered all over the table, "Jiu Niang, it's hard to make jokes like this. As soon as the words are spoken, someone will pay with their lives."

"Elder Princess doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial doctor to test it."

Princess Ronghui's face darkened, and she looked at the nanny who was guarding the door, "Call the imperial doctor, and then ask the guards to surround the imperial dining room, and bring over all the people who handle rose cakes."

"Yes." Momo left in a hurry without even looking at the maid who was kneeling on the ground.

Seeing Luo Xiyao use her fingernails to cut open the rose pastry, twisting and twisting the light red rose stuffing to play with, when Princess Ronghui wanted to speak, she met her dark eyes and cold smile at the corners of her mouth, somehow, Such Luo Jiuniang actually gave her a cold shoulder.

Grandma Wu has been with Princess Ronghui for 50 years, and she has never seen such a big storm. She directly called the imperial doctor to go with her to the imperial dining room, found the imperial chef who made rose cakes, checked the ingredients for rose cakes, and asked the guards to Go to check who has passed through Rose Pastry from the imperial dining room to Shuyunxuan, even if they pass by, they have to be called for questioning.

Soon, Nanny Wu brought in two eunuchs and three court ladies along with the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor inspected the two rose cakes, "The eldest princess's rose cakes are fine, but Miss Luo Jiu's plate...but someone put steamed oleander."

When the maid heard this, she immediately collapsed to the ground, she didn't dare to hug the eldest princess' legs and cry, so she could only hold on to Madam Wu's clothes and said, "Mother Wu, this servant doesn't know, this servant doesn't know anything! "

Nanny Wu pulled out her clothes and spoke back to Princess Ronghui, "The old servant and the imperial doctor went to the imperial dining room. The imperial dining room is fine, and the guards of the imperial dining room can also testify to each other, and only Shuyunxuan has rose cakes. Send it elsewhere. The old slave asked someone to move a hound from the zoo, let the hound sniff the leftover ingredients in the kitchen, and came all the way back here. Then he asked the guards to check who bumped into the maid who delivered the rose cake at that time. People ...The old slaves have brought them here."

Several court ladies and eunuchs lowered their heads, concealing their anxiety.

Among these people, there must be some people who are related to oleander, but most of them don't know anything.

But it wasn't their first day in the palace, so they naturally knew that life or death was just a matter of the master's words when encountering such a thing.

"Come here." Luo Xiyao hooked her fingers.

Several people looked up at the same time, not knowing who Luo Xiyao was calling.

"It's just you, the one with the mole under the left eye."

Xiao Lizi raised his hand to touch the corner of his eyes, swallowed his saliva, "Slave Xiao Li, master, your name is slave?"

Luo Xiyao raised her eyebrows, but did not answer.

"What are you doing in a daze? If you are told to come forward, you come forward, which palace do you come from, so there are no rules!" Princess Ronghui didn't understand why Luo Xiyao only ordered small plums in a group of people, but she knew Luo Xiyao is by no means a random person.

The maid who gave the rose cake really didn't know, "Little plum? You hurt me?"

"No, no, it has nothing to do with the servant!" Xiao Lizi was still calm, "Mingjian, the eldest princess, the servant just met Yuefang in the corridor outside the imperial garden, but the servant said a few words to her, and didn't touch her at all." After touching the food box in her hand, how could the servant poison it?"

The imperial doctor stood aside with his neck shrunk, watching his nose, nose and heart. If the eldest princess didn't ask him, he would pretend that he didn't exist.

The fingers in Luo Xiyao's sleeves trembled, black and red tentacles appeared and disappeared between her nails, she thought to herself: calm down, calm down.The eldest princess is still here, don't make it too ugly.

Mother Wu said: "Yuefang, tell me, among these people, which of these people has touched the food box in your hand? You'd better think clearly and answer, if none of them have touched the food box, then you are the one who poisoned you!" "

Yuefang licked the corner of her lips nervously, her gaze skipped over the five people, except for Xiao Lizi, the rest avoided her gaze.

Xiao Lizi said loudly: "Yuefang, you can't frame me just because you don't know clearly! Have I ever touched a food box, tell me, tell me! If you tell a lie, you will have your intestines pierced and die. Do you dare to swear on you and your family? Do you dare?"

"I……"

Eldest Princess Ronghui frowned: "Take them all out, hit ten boards and then drag them over for questioning."

"The slave is wronged, the slave is wronged!" Xiao Lizi was carried out by the servant, his feet kept struggling on the ground, screaming heart-piercingly, as if he had really suffered innocent injustice.

"It's so noisy!" Luo Xiyao walked over, grabbed his hair and slammed it against the door frame, repeatedly, until she threw away Xiao Li, and let him lie on the ground with his face covered in blood. , she called the imperial physician, "Show him, and see if there is anything on him that can distract people... Datura and sage, etc., the imperial physician should be able to find out, right?"

Even if the imperial doctor can't, he dare not say that he can't!He dared to do this in front of the Eldest Princess, and he didn't take his life too seriously. "Can, can."
