Chapter 170 The Murderer Appears
Qingzhu's face froze, seeing Pei Zimo grabbing her wrist, she didn't know what to say.

Pei Zimo also felt that he was too impatient, so he hurriedly put his hands away.He warned himself time and time again, not to act too hastily, but who knows but always forgets at critical moments.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the camp seemed a little awkward again.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't feel embarrassed for a long time, and soon a personal guard came in to report, saying that the lunch had been delivered, and I don't know if it should be delivered now.

"Then you can have lunch first, I'll go back too." Seeing this, Qingzhu quickly looked at Pei Zimo and said.

Pei Zimo shook his head at Qingzhu, then looked at the guard and said, "Send it up, and get another copy for Doctor Xia."

"Back to the general, His Royal Highness has already ordered someone to prepare a meal for Doctor Xia according to His Highness's standards." The guard looked at Pei Zimo and replied.

"Then send it up together." Pei Zimo said, with some smiles on his face.

"My son has a heart, please tell Qingzhu on behalf of Qingzhu, thank you His Royal Highness." Qingzhu looked at the guard and said politely.

"Yes." The personal guard agreed, and turned around to get food.

Pei Zimo looked at Qingzhu and said with a smile: "The son is always considerate, but there is no need to thank him, and you don't have to be so polite with him."

"Yeah." Qing Zhu nodded, and responded in a low voice.

After the two of them had lunch, Qing Zhu and Pei Zimo chatted for a while, someone came to report from outside the door, saying that Princess Anle asked Doctor Xia to go back quickly, and told them something important.

"I don't know why the princess is looking for me, so I'll go back now." Qingzhu looked at Pei Zimo and said.

"Okay, then I'll see you off." Pei Zimo nodded, looked at Qingzhu and said.

"Alright, the sun is pretty good at the moment, you go out to bask in the sun, it will also help your wound." Qingzhu nodded, agreeing to Pei Zimo's request.

Walking to the gate of Daying, Qingzhu looked left and right, but couldn't see his horse, so he couldn't help but cry.It seems that after what happened yesterday, these people have learned to be good.

However, since Princess Anle invited her, she could no longer walk back slowly like yesterday, so she looked at the soldiers at the gate of the camp and whispered, "Excuse me, where is my horse? Please help to lead it." Come here, can you?"

The soldiers didn't dare to answer Qingzhu's words, but just looked at Pei Zimo, waiting for him to make the decision.

Seeing this, Pei Zimo nodded, and said, "By the way, bring my horse over."

"You don't need to lead General Pei's horse anymore." Qingzhu quickly stopped her, looked at Pei Zimo and said, "You hurt your arm. It's not that convenient to ride a horse after all. You can't tell me to go back. I still have to worry about you. Today you Just send it here, and I'll see you later."

"Okay." Pei Zimo was a little disappointed, but after hearing Qing Zhu say that he would worry about himself, he felt a little happy again, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Pei Zimo agreed, the soldiers ran to lead Qingzhu's horse.After a while, the horse that Qingzhu rode over was led by the soldiers, Pei Zimo took the reins of the horse, handed it to Qingzhu himself, and said: "Be careful, don't ride too fast."

"Well, I know." Qingzhu looked at Pei Zimo with a smile, and said: "By the way, if you have nothing else to do, just turn around outside for about half an hour to bask in the sun."

"Okay, I will." Pei Zimo nodded.

Seeing that Pei Zimo agreed, Qingzhu got on his horse and left in the dust.

"Princess, why are you looking for me?" Qingzhu went directly to Princess Anle's camp as soon as she returned to the camp of the Chinese army, opened the curtain of the inner tent, and asked before even seeing the people in the inner tent clearly. road.

"Xue Hongmei came to look for you." Princess Anle said, raised her jaw, and nodded to the side.

"Hongmei? But what's the news?" Qingzhu saw Xue Hongmei standing beside her.

"Yes, Doctor Xia." Xue Hongmei nodded, looked at Qingzhu and said, "A lot of sisters have been injured recently, so we have more records of taking mandala leaves and seeds, but there is one The record caught my attention. Because that person took the mandala seeds more than ten days ago. At that time, we were still in Qingzhou. At that time, no sisters were injured, so there was no need to use mandala seeds to suppress pain."

"Still in Qingzhou?" Qingzhu frowned, and said: "It's been so long, maybe I made a mistake, don't wrong a good person."

"Just ask." Princess Anle interjected.

"Well, what the princess said is true." Qing Zhu nodded.

"Come on, bring it up!" Seeing that Qingzhu nodded, Princess Anle's complexion sank, and she looked outside the tent and shouted loudly.

"Let me go, let me go!" After a while, a voice familiar to Qingzhu came in, followed by a man with his hands tied behind him, who was not under the tent of Princess Anle Who is Lan Zhi, one of the four chief guards?

"Lan Zhi, why is it you?" Qing Zhu was startled, speaking of it, she and Lan Zhi are also very familiar, and they got along very well during the days in the Red Makeup Camp, and I don't know why she was the one who was brought up.

Lan Zhi didn't look at Qingzhu, but looked at Princess Anle, and asked with a puzzled look: "Princess, what did Lan Zhi do wrong? You want someone to arrest me?"

"What mistake did you make?" Princess Anle sneered, looked at Lan Zhi and asked, "Let me ask you, on August [-]th, did you take thirty Datura seeds from the medical account? "

August twelfth?Listening to Princess Anle's words, Qingzhu thought to herself that the twelfth day of the eighth month was just the day before the red makeup battalion went to Yongzhou with King Ning's army. Somewhat strange.

"Yes." Lan Zhi didn't deny it, and just nodded in agreement.

"Well, let me ask you, you are healthy and painless, what are you doing with the poisonous mandala seeds?" Princess Anle looked at Lan Zhi and asked again.

"Back to the Princess, I saw Dr. Xia took mandala seeds before, and I was curious, so I asked her what the seeds are for. Doctor Xia said that the seeds can relieve pain and anesthesia, and can also make people confused. I had hallucinations, after I heard it, I became even more curious, so I wanted to try to see if it was real." Lan Zhi glanced at Qingzhu and replied.

"Qingzhu, did she really ask you?" Princess Anle turned her head, looked at Qingzhu and asked.

"Hmm... I seem to have a little impression." Qingzhu nodded, and said: "I also reminded her that this thing is very poisonous, so don't use it indiscriminately."

"Okay." Princess Anle nodded after seeing what Qing Zhu said, then turned to look at Lan Zhi, and said, "Then let me ask you, what did you use the mandala seeds you brought?"

"This..." Lan Zhi's face flickered, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "I lost it."

"Lost it?" The sneer on Princess Anle's face became more obvious, she stared at Lan Zhi and said, "Then where did you lose it?"

"I... I don't know." Lan Zhi panicked and shook her head quickly.

"I don't know?" Princess Anle said sarcastically, and then shouted: "At this moment, do you still want to deceive the princess?"

"Princess Mingjian, Lan Zhi dare not lie to the princess." As she said, Lan Zhi knelt down with a plop, walked a few steps on her knees, reached the end of Princess Anle's bed, and said, "Lan Zhi has been with you since childhood, what is Lan Zhi?" If you think about such a person, the Princess knows that Lan Zhi really can't do anything to murder Doctor Xia."

"When did the princess say that you murdered Doctor Xia?" Princess Anle smiled strangely, and then an angry look flashed on her face, and said, "The princess just asked you, what are you doing with the mandala seeds? How do you know, the main investigation in this county is who murdered Doctor Xia?"

Saying that, Princess Anle glared at Lan Zhi and yelled angrily, "It's not true!"

"Princess, Lan Zhi is really wronged..." Lan Zhi looked at Princess Anle, and said anxiously: "It's Zhao Ruolan, it was Zhao Ruolan who told Lan Zhi that the princess is looking for who poisoned Doctor Xia with mandala seeds matter."

"Lan Zhi didn't think much about it at first, but after returning to the camp last night, he suddenly remembered that he had a mandala seed in his hand. He was afraid that the princess would misunderstand, so he took it away. Yes, it was Zhao Ruolan who helped Lan Zhi lose it. Yes, Zhao Ruolan can testify that at that time Lan Zhi was afraid and didn't dare to throw it away by herself, so she asked Zhao Ruolan for help."

"Also, after Lan Zhi got the Datura seeds, she never used them. Because of Doctor Xia's warning, Lan Zhi was afraid that something would happen, and she didn't meet anyone who could test the medicine along the way. Animals, so they got [-], and when Zhao Ruolan threw them away, they also got [-]. Zhao Ruolan can testify to this."

"Zhao Ruolan?" Princess Anle frowned slightly, remembering that it was Zhao Ruolan who brought the food that day, and it was possible to hear something, so she looked at Lan Zhi and asked, "Are you serious, did you not lie?"

"Princess Mingjian, Lan Zhi dare not lie, please believe me." Lan Zhi said, knocking her head heavily on the ground.

"Alright then, go and bring Zhao Ruolan up." Princess Anle looked at Lan Zhi, nodded, and ordered to the guards at the side.

"Yes." The guard led the order to go down, and after a while, Zhao Ruolan, who was panicked like a frightened little rabbit, was brought up.

"Greetings... Greetings... princess..." After Zhao Ruolan came up, she quickly glanced at Lan Zhi who was kneeling at the end of Princess Anle's bed, the fear on her face became more and more obvious, and her frail body trembled immediately. Before Princess Anle could speak, she knelt down with a plop, and it took a long time before she even said a word of greeting to the princess.

"Zhao Ruolan, right?" Princess Anle stared at Zhao Ruolan expressionlessly and asked.

"Yes, the young one, the young one is Zhao Ruolan." Zhao Ruolan replied tremblingly.

"Let me ask you, did you hear my Princess and Doctor Xia say yesterday that she suspected that someone poisoned and murdered Doctor Xia?" Princess Anle looked at Zhao Ruolan and asked calmly.

"Yes." Zhao Ruolan replied tremblingly.

"Then, who did you tell?" Princess Anle asked again.

"Just... I told Lan... Sister Lan Zhi." Zhao Ruolan took a quick look at Lan Zhi and stammered back.

"Why do you want to tell Lan Zhi what you heard from this princess? Say it!" Princess Anle's tone was originally calm, but the last word was uttered loudly.

"Yes!" Zhao Ruolan was excited, and said quickly: "Sister Lanzhi asked me, so I said it."

"Okay." Princess Anle glanced at Lan Zhi, looked at Zhao Ruolan and asked again: "So, did Lan Zhi ask you to help her lose something at night?"

"Yes." Zhao Ruolan nodded, and still tremblingly said: "Sister Lan Zhi asked the younger one to help her throw some things. The younger one was not willing, but... But sister Lan Zhi kept asking, so the younger one agreed. .”

"Oh? Why didn't you agree at first?" Princess Anle looked at Zhao Ruolan and asked.

"Because, because... because the little one's father is the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and the little one knew some medicinal materials since he was a child, so I know that what sister Lanzhi wants the little one to throw away is the mandala seed. Dare." Zhao Ruolan stammered back.

"Then why did you dare again later?" Princess Anle continued to ask.

"Because... because sister Lan Zhi has been taking good care of me since I entered the Red Makeup Camp, so..." Zhao Ruolan said, looking at Lan Zhi gratefully.

"Well, it's someone who knows how to repay you." Princess Anle nodded, and asked again: "So, do you remember how many mandala seeds you threw away yesterday?"

"Probably...probably...about one or twenty." Zhao Ruolan replied cautiously.

"You're lying!" Lan Zhi, who had been silent by the side, suddenly looked crazy when she heard Zhao Ruolan's words, and she got up and was about to rush towards Zhao Ruolan.
