The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 73 Drug Testing (1)

When Wang Dawei saw Shuizhi, he was slightly taken aback. Although he had a close relationship with Jingyang Palace, the maid Li Guiren sent to talk to him before was the maid Bai Yuan. Although he also knew that this Shuizhi was Li Guiren's personal maid, But there was no serious conversation.

But this Shuizhi is young and beautiful, she can be regarded as the most outstanding among the court ladies.So Wang Dawei didn't hesitate too much, he told the group of young eunuchs around him to stop, and walked up to Shuizhi alone.

"What's the matter?" Wang Dawei looked up and down Shuizhi with a straight face, his eyes somewhat malicious.

Although the little girl Shuizhi was not very old, she was very clever. She ignored Wang Dawei's eyes, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, that slender pink hand directly grabbed Wang Dawei's arm, and held onto Wang Dawei's arm. He pulled to a dark corner.

Wang Dawei stared straight at Shuizhi's actions.Shuizhi always had a charming smile on her lips, she pretended to be shy, looked up at Wang Dawei, and said softly: "Wang Gonggong, what happened last time, our master said you did a good job, this time I would like to trouble you to do me a little favor."

Although Wang Dawei was just an eunuch delivering meals to the various palaces, he was also in a very well-informed position. Naturally, he also heard that Li Changzai had been demoted by the emperor in public, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows strangely: "It's still the next time!" poison?"

Shui Zhi smiled even brighter, and said like honey had been wiped on her mouth: "The prince is really smart."

Saying that, Shui Zhi got closer to Wang Dawei again, and whispered: "You also know, our master was temporarily out of favor by the people in Concubine Yi's palace, why didn't our master avenge such a big hatred?"

In the next second, Shuizhi stuffed the pack of medicine powder in Wang Dawei's hand directly, and slowly closed his fingers with an innocent face, pretending to be pitiful, and said: "I hope that Wang Gonggong can help the master with this." Busy, everyone in Jingyang Palace will be grateful to you."

Looking at Shuizhi's shy little face, Wang Dawei lost his mind for a moment, but he still said seriously: "I'm very busy on weekdays, so it's not like I can help with everything when I have nothing to do."

They are all people who know how to deal with affairs in the palace. Shuizhi pursed her lips and smiled, and soon understood what Wang Dawei meant. She took out a cloth bag from her arms, and first put it in her hand and turned it upside down. Let the princes do things for free, and the rewards are all here, and there will be no less."

Wang Dawei originally thought it was weird for Li Guiren to let Shui Zhi come to make a deal with him, but when he saw the bulging money bag, his eyes widened instantly, the longing in his eyes overflowed directly, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up. There was a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

"Elder-in-law, don't worry, it will be ready for lunch now, it's extremely poisonous, Eunuch only needs to add a little." Shui Zhi handed the money bag to Wang Dawei's hands, holding her hands in front of her belly, smiling very brightly .

"Okay." Wang Dawei is a person who takes money to do things, let alone Jingyang Palace, Wang Dawei quickly put down the money bag, and left with the food delivery queue not long after.

At the same time, Fu Lu was always watching the group of people at the corner of the corridor. After Wang Dawei left, Shuizhi nodded at him, then turned around and returned to Jingyang Palace as if nothing had happened.

Today's lunch seemed to come a bit late. Concubine Yi is soft-tempered, and Bai He couldn't help scolding the eunuchs when she was picking up the food box in front of the palace gate: "Why are you so negligent? The meals were delivered nearly half an hour later than the previous two days."

Regarding this, several young eunuchs lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, but Wang Dawei had full confidence. He raised his eyebrows at Bai He, without any panic in his words: "There is always a way to deliver meals in the imperial dining room, Concubine Yi If your empress can't wait, let the emperor open a small kitchen for Chengqian Palace and invite some chefs from outside the palace to come."

Hearing this, Bai He's eyes widened, her brows were tightly frowned, and she was about to scold: "Why are you doing this! This is your job, isn't it? How can you still talk about my mother?"

Wang Dawei knew that the food was poisonous, thinking that something would happen to Chengqian Palace in a short time anyway, he didn't care about Bai He's words at all, he put Chengqian Palace's food box on the ground, turned his head and left, and went to the next palace.

Even when Jiao Rong saw Bai He coming back, she still looked distraught.Jiao Rong glanced at Bai He, helped her spread the dishes on the table, and asked softly, "What's wrong? You have such an ugly expression."

Bai He let out a huff angrily, and followed Jiaorong to spread the dishes on the table, "That Wang Dawei is really too much, I don't know who is behind him, and he doesn't care about Concubine Yi at all." inside."

Who knew that as soon as Bai He finished speaking, Yizhu helped Concubine Yi and walked out of the inner hall, Concubine Yi's expression was very calm, and she said in a gentle voice, "Who has offended you by looking at me again?"

Hearing this, Bai He was startled, turned around to look at Concubine Yi, and quickly stepped aside, "Niang Niang, it's nothing."

Concubine Yi sighed, as if she had gotten used to it: "Everyone in this palace is like this, I don't care about it, why do you bother?"

Jiaorong also took a look at Concubine Yi, and silently brought out the last dish, which was the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root that had been "carefully decorated" by them.To be honest, looking at this plate of sweet lotus root, which is beautiful and fragrant, but contains toxins, even a bold person like Jiaorong couldn't help but tremble a little with his eyelashes.

"Jiaorong?" Concubine Yi seemed to have noticed something wrong with Jiaorong, and called her worriedly.

Jiao Rong hastily put the plate of candied lotus root on the table neatly, raised her head, restored her natural smile, and said softly, "Don't worry, my lady, this servant will test the poison for you first, and you can use it after the test. "

Hearing this, Concubine Yi felt a little puzzled, "Are you here to test the poison?"

Since the food in Chengqian Palace poisoned a court lady to death, now the poison testers have been replaced by the lowest eunuchs in the palace. Let the maids with the best relationships around her take this risk.

Jiaorong gave a soft "hmm" and explained calmly: "Originally, the palace people took turns to replace the poison test, but now they are all replaced by low-level palace people. The eunuchs and maids are a little reluctant. As a palace maid, she should serve herself for a few days to appease the servants in the palace."

Hearing Jiaorong's words, Concubine Yi pursed her lips, and nodded slightly after thinking for a moment, "It's my negligence."

Jiaorong first picked up the silver needle and tested it in various dishes. The silver needle cannot detect all kinds of toxins, and the poison given by Dr. Sun in the candied lotus root cannot be detected.
