After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chapter 106 Is Poison
The small kitchen in the yard is also relatively simple, with an earthen stove, a countertop, and some odd pots and pans. Fortunately, it is clean and comfortable to look at.

After Chen Xiuyan entered the small kitchen, she smelled it carefully. The ancient arsenic extraction could not be very pure, and it was often mixed with a small amount of sulfide. The arsenic has no taste, but the smell of sulfide is very typical. Chen Xiuyan has no sense and is sensitive. You need to smell it carefully, you can smell the smell that others can't smell.

Chen Xiuyan walked around the corners of the small kitchen, and finally locked on a tank in the corner, which contained flour and other grains. The various grains were small but opened separately, and there were many cloth bags in the tank.

Chen Xiuyan picked up one of the bags, which weighed less than a catty.

"This is white flour. I bought five catties half a month ago, but I'm almost finished." Zhi Ling explained.

Chen Xiuyan opened the cloth bag of white flour, reached out and grabbed some out, put it under her nose and smelled it carefully, "It smells like arsenic."

"How is it possible, arsenic has no smell at all." Zhi Ling retorted immediately, making Chen Xiuyan look at her more.

"What's more, Zhixiang bought this from the foot of the mountain. In addition to making cakes, we also made steamed buns. Zhixiang and I also ate it. We have nothing to do with it." Zhiling said, "How could it be possible in this flour There is arsenic, I will find Dr. Yi."

Chen Xiuyan didn't stop her, and Doctor Yi came after a while, inspected the white noodles carefully, and frowned, "Doctor Chen, I didn't find out the arsenic, did I make a mistake?"

"Doctor Yi, we believe in you, but we don't believe in this one. Not only is he young, but he is still trying to provoke the relationship between Miss and us. He is just suspicious of Zhixiang."

"Zhixiang grew up with us, how could she do something that harmed Miss."

"If this person insists on saying that, there is another way. Arsenic is poisonous, and it can be detected immediately with a silver hairpin. I will test it for you now." Zhiling put some white flour in a bowl, and then added water , After merging, take out a silver hairpin from the sleeve and insert it into the bowl, take it out after a while, the silver hairpin has not changed color at all.

Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows and looked at the hairpin in Zhiling's hand, and the corners of her lips curled up, which is not self-inflicted.

In ancient times, silver hairpins and silver needles were used to test poison. In fact, what reacted with silver was sulfide. Now that the hairpin has not turned black, it must not be made of silver.

"Zhiling, what are you doing yelling, don't disturb Miss..." A figure dressed in bamboo green walked into the courtyard, speaking in a low voice, and didn't say anything after seeing outsiders in the courtyard clearly .

"Doctor Yi." I was very excited to see Dr. Yi Zhixiang, "Go and show the young lady, the young lady had some stomach troubles two days ago, and she had a fever again yesterday, and she kept throwing up..."

Zhixiang told her daughter's illness in detail.

"vomiting and diarrhea?" Doctor Yi turned his head to look at Zhiling, not understanding what she was hiding from him before.

"Zhixiang, don't worry, Dr. Yi has already seen it for Miss, and invited this young lady who doesn't know who she is, she looks about the same age as us, but I'm uneasy and kind, I've already exposed her." Zhixiang Ling looked at Chen Xiuyan angrily and said.

"Miss Zhixiang is holding newly bought white noodles?" Chen Xiuyan looked at the cloth bag in her hand and said.

Zhixiang nodded.

"let me see."

Zhixiang didn't stop her, doctor Yi was there after all, not to mention just looking at the white noodles was not a big deal.

"Doctor Yi, come and compare. Is this flour different from the leftovers?" Chen Xiuyan said.

"It doesn't look different." Dr. Yi smelled it after seeing it. After smelling it back and forth for a long time, he said with some uncertainty, "It seems that there is a smell...how do you describe it, the smell of rotten eggs?"

"I don't know if it's because it's been in the tank for a long time." Dr. Yi muttered.

"That's the smell of arsenic." Chen Xiuyan said seriously, "The smell is very mild, but we doctors are familiar with medicinal materials, and we are already sensitive to smells. We can smell a little bit of it when we distinguish carefully."

"But the silver hairpin didn't change color just now." Doctor Yi also tended to Chen Xiuyan's wrong judgment, he didn't believe that Zhixiang would harm his young lady.

"Arsenic!" Zhixiang exclaimed, "There is arsenic in the flour? How is it possible? I bought it at the rice shop in Fucheng. How could there be arsenic in it?"

"Of course rice shops don't have it, but you can add it yourself after you buy it. The color of arsenic and white flour is exactly the same. A little bit of arsenic mixed in these white flour can't be distinguished with the naked eye." Chen Xiuyan explained.

"It's all said to be gone, and the silver hairpin hasn't changed color, can you stop stirring up the relationship between our young lady and Zhixiang?" Zhiling said indignantly.

But in the high-pitched voice, there are a few traces of guilty emotions that I know best, and there is also a trace of jealousy, resentment and secret joy hidden in the eyes.

"Hey." Chen Xiuyan entered the room and brought the bowl of melted flour water over, reached out and pulled out the silver hairpin on her head, and inserted it directly.

Zhiling turned pale with fright. She didn't expect the other party to have such a speed and reaction, which made her feel a little overwhelmed for a while, and she prayed in her heart that she would not be found out if the weight was small.

After Chen Xiuyan picked up the hairpin, the tip of the hairpin turned black slightly, and Zhixiang covered her mouth in fright, while Doctor Yi widened her eyes and walked closer to take a closer look.

"Doctor Yi can try it if he has money with him." Chen Xiuyan suggested.

Doctor Yi immediately took out the silver lock plate hanging on his body, and as expected, he also made a black mark in a small corner, "Really, there is really arsenic."

"That, that..." Doctor Yi looked at Zhi Ling and the silver hairpin in her hand.

"It shouldn't be a hairpin made of silver. If I'm right, it might be copper-nickel." Chen Xiuyan said.

"At first, I couldn't be sure which maid was the one who put the arsenic, but after she was able to take out the hairpin that couldn't change color, I was sure it was her." Chen Xiuyan looked at Zhiling and said, "I was mistaken by my cleverness."

"I didn't, I didn't, you're spitting blood." Zhiling pointed at Chen Xiuyan and said fiercely, "I grew up with Miss, how could I harm her? I bought this hairpin in Fucheng, so it must be the seller. Honestly sold me a fake one, how could such a hairpin show that I harmed Miss."

"This is your business, I don't care." Chen Xiuyan didn't care about these things, "I'm only in charge of curing diseases and detoxification."

Now that it is known to be poisoned by arsenic, it can be determined from the symptoms of the reaction that the dose is not large, as long as the stomach is cleaned, and then the spleen and stomach are adjusted with medicinal diet, there will be no major problems.

A small dose of arsenic can also be solved by Dr. Yi, but now he trusts Chen Xiuyan more. Chen Xiuyan can only go to the house to clear the stomach of the fifth lady. Stomach, repeated water injection several times to induce vomiting.
