Chapter 39

Fourth Aunt was not well and was frightened again, but the old lady didn't let her rest, but asked someone to move an embroidered stool for her to sit on the side.

Satisfied with the panic on the faces of those ten people, the old lady finally opened her mouth, but she said to the old man, "Go and invite the old man here, the old man has already returned from the court, and I am not even in good health." That's great, it's better to let the old man sit in charge."

Jin Niang, who was standing behind the old lady, was overjoyed when she heard it. She tried every means to get the old man to be there, let him hear the review process with his own ears, and let the old man see the viciousness of the old lady and the possibility of the fourth aunt's promotion. It's even bigger.

The old man was startled when he heard this, but he slightly raised his head and said: "Mother, don't make trouble with the old man..."

The old lady's face darkened. This son is always like this. When it comes to the critical moment, he is a little bit off the chain. He still cares about the lady, but if he continues to be so weak, he still wants to save his son. The old lady really hates it Iron doesn't make steel, but fortunately, his son was very straightforward and decisive when he was in command of the army. If he was like a bear facing his wife in the mansion, it would be really rare to win the battle and come back.

"Just let Chang Zhong go, I'm here." The old lady glared at the master, really helpless.

The master was drunk by the old lady, but he didn't dare to say anything, the little girl on the side had already gone out to spread the word.

Among the ten people, Jinniang saw Ling'er kneeling in a corner, hiding behind a fat woman, with big eyes rolling around, looking very uneasy, and her white forehead was wet. Sweating heavily, Jinniang's heart shuddered, this girl's expression is not normal.

Mama Sun brought two bowls to the old lady, and said: "Go back to the old lady, this bowl is the porridge that Si Yiniang used in the morning, and the remaining juice, and the other bowl is the bird's nest that the kitchen specially stewed for Si Yi. It's Miss Si's filial piety, and the maidservant also prepared leftovers from the tea that Si YiNiang used to drink, so Master Liu can inspect it."

The old lady nodded. She refused to agree to the doctor Liu's leaving after prescribing the prescription. The medical skills and character of the doctor Liu are the most trusted by the old lady. Now that they met, of course he should be retained to help with the drug test.

"Give it to Imperial Physician Liu, and ask him to test it."

Mama Sun handed it to the little girl next to her.Not long after, Imperial Physician Liu came out from the back room, and said to the old lady: "There is nothing wrong with the food, but I found something strange in Si Yiniang's tea."

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "Do you know what it is?"

Imperial Physician Liu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment before saying: "This thing is not something from Dajin, it seems to be something that came from Xiliang, but it only has some anesthetic effect, not too much toxicity."

After hearing this, Jinniang thought to herself, could it be that poppies or marijuana were put in the tea?But she had never seen poppies and marijuana in her previous life, she just knew that those two were the raw materials for making drugs, even if they were, she couldn't tell them apart.

The old lady fell into deep thought when she heard this, and Madam Sun asked someone to deliver the incense from Fourth Aunt's house. After smelling it, Imperial Physician Liu said, "It's just ordinary spices, nothing special."

How did the fourth aunt get poisoned?She also ate with Dong'er and the others on weekdays. If she ate it in the dishes, Dong'er and Ling'er's two close maids would definitely be poisoned too, but it was obvious that the two of them were fine, so it could only be because of the food. Only the fourth aunt would eat it.

The room was silent for a moment, and the servants kneeling on the ground dared not even vent their anger. They hoped that the old lady would not find out anything and let them go back sooner.

Imperial Physician Liu was also frowning to seek mercy, Fourth Auntie's pulse seemed to be diagnosed by him, and it seemed to be poisoned, and the poison had accumulated in her body for at least a month, so it must not have been injected all at once, but It was soaked into Si Yiniang's body little by little every day, so what Si Yiniang showed was cough and typhoid fever symptoms, this... If the source of the poison cannot be found out, it may also be related to his doctor's name.

Jinniang stood behind the old lady, paying attention to Ling'er's expression. When Ling'er heard that there were no problems with several kinds of food and spices, Ling'er obviously let out a long breath, and her wandering eyes finally settled down. After coming down, she calmly stared at the stone slab in front of her. Even her kneeling body softened a little, and she was no longer stiff. She... must be haunted.

Jinniang finally couldn't help it, walked up to the old lady, bowed deeply, and said: "Old lady, Jinniang has a few words that I don't know whether to say or not."

The old lady looked up at her. This granddaughter has always been honest and honest, but since the visit of Prince Jane and Princess Jane, she discovered that this granddaughter is very smart, and even learned to play chess under the strictness of the eldest lady. Calligraphy and painting, what kind of perseverance is needed to do this, and where did she learn from?To this day, the old lady still doesn't believe the facts she saw with her own eyes that day. What she said earlier to persuade her for the sake of Fourth Aunt was also very logical and logical, which made her have to consider the future of Brother Xuan. Madam is right.

"If you have something to say, you can't defend yourself. Even if you make a mistake, I won't blame you." The old lady suddenly felt that this girl could find out where the poison was, and her tone was slightly expectant.

After hearing the old lady's words, Jinniang felt a little more courageous in her heart, so she turned to Imperial Physician Liu and said, "Master Doctor! Jinniang has a merciless request."

Imperial Physician Liu was thinking hard, but when he heard Jinniang's words, he was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Fourth Miss, please tell me."

Jinniang talked eloquently: "I heard you just said that Si Yiniang's tea contains some drugs that can make people sick, right?"

Imperial Physician Liu nodded, but then said: "That is only for calming the nerves, not too toxic."

After hearing this, Jinniang smiled slightly: "Yes, you are an imperial physician, so you must be very clear about the habit of this substance, but what if this substance is mixed with another spice? Will it produce a kind of toxicity that you didn't expect? come out?"

Doctor Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately took tea and the incense commonly used in Fourth Aunt's house and walked into the room, but he didn't even say hello to the old lady and the master, it could be seen that he was in a very urgent mood .

The corner of Jinniang's mouth curled up into a smile again. She was sure that there must be something wrong with the tea and spices, because she had been to Fourth Auntie's house twice today and saw that Fourth Auntie had a habit of only drinking black tea, and it was After brewing warm tea for a while, Dong'er always makes a pot of tea first and then puts it on the bedside table to cool, so that Fourth Aunt can drink it at any time. Therefore, other people in Si Aunt's room will not drink that tea. Yes, only Fourth Aunt drinks alone.
