Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 677
There are a lot of utensils in the palace, especially the imported things. Different identities have different utensils, and they must not be mixed.

Just looking at the texture and the small quantity of the cups in front of you, you can tell that these drinking utensils are for the most distinguished people at the banquet.

The hundred-day banquet for the children in the East Palace, who else could be the most distinguished attendee, isn't it the prince.

Yun Wanqin's eyes landed in the middle, and it was the only jadeite cup engraved with a golden dragon engraved on its body.

It is a cup for the prince.

She put on the silk gloves from the medicated kitchen, picked up the cup, and stroked around the rim that needed to be in contact with her lips.

There is nothing special between rubbing fingertips, and there is no toxic reaction with silver needles.

After thinking about it, she picked up the unsealed wine jug beside her and poured the wine into it.

She shook the cup, held her breath, pinched the silver needle, and probed it down. It didn't take a moment for the tip of the needle to reach the end of the handle, and it turned black instantly.

The poison was actually wiped on the rim of the cup, and the poison would only evaporate when it was in liquid.There are so many poisons in the world, there is no shortage of all kinds of poisons, doctors and poisoners are in the same family, these days she has also read a lot of poison scriptures, and she has seen a lot of poisons, no matter how tricky the poison is, she can always name it, at least she can guess it The ingredients come out.

But the poison that Qingchan smeared on the rim of the cup is absolutely uncommon, at least not much in the Central Plains.

It will only evaporate when the liquid is toxic... Her mind flashed inexplicably, her palms were sweating, and she thought of something. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Qi Huaien's voice: "It's a slave."

Yun Wanqin put down the cup and opened the door.

Qi Huai'en glanced at the drinks in the dining room, his face tightened: "How about..."

She signaled that she was fine, Qi Huai'en breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned again: "The servant called Qingchan out alone, the empress will follow the servant to ask about that hoof."

Just right.Yun Wanqin nodded, put away the set of cups and drinks, closed the door, and went out with Qi Huai'en.

The bamboo garden not far from Ziguang Pavilion is usually quiet and deserted. Qingchan stood alone in the woods with her hands clasped together.

There was a torrential rain last night, the bamboo branches were dripping with rain and dew, they couldn't help bending, dripping down, soaking Qingchan's palace robe and boots, but she didn't notice it, and she looked restless.

Seeing Yun Wanqin and Qi Huai'en coming over, her face was pale: "Princess Qin..." When Qi Huai'en sneaked her out just now, she already knew that the princess had learned that she had gone to the East Palace to poison. I'm afraid of being suppressed.

Qi Huaien's tone was sullen, and he lowered his voice: "Thank you, Princess Qin, you can still scream. You were sent by King Qin to the palace to serve your concubine, and you actually helped He Lianyun do this kind of thing! Do you know that if the crown prince is really poisoned and dies, It was found out that the men and slaves did it in partnership with you, and your concubine and the king of Qin are also finished!"

Qingchan broke out in cold sweat, and knelt on the ground with a thud, "It's the slave who is stupid. He listened to He Lianyun's instigation and rhetoric, and begged Princess Qin to kill the slave!"

Yun Wanqin asked Qi Huai'en to go to the side to release the wind so that no one would come over, and then helped Qingchan up: "You have studied medicine with your brother in the palace since you were young, and later entered the palace to serve your concubine personally. Outsiders have never seen many of them. How can you beat He Lianyun's mind? How did he tell you?"

Seeing that she didn't blame herself at all, Qingchan didn't hide anything, poured beans out of the bamboo tube, choked up and said: "When I left the Mingguang Pavilion that day, He Lianyun secretly handed the note to the servant, asking the servant to meet with him in private afterwards, in the palace. After finding a secluded place to meet, He Lianyun handed a pack of medicine powder to the servant girl, and asked the servant girl to swallow the prince no matter what. The servant girl said that she would go back and tell the concubine first, but He Lianyun stopped her, saying that the prince The concubine is the princess of Mengnu, she will never disobey his elder brother, and hinted that your concubine is timid and will never allow the murder of the prince to happen. An Ning will never expose his elder brother, but he will kill the only servant who knows! The servant was frightened at the time, and He Lianyun said that King Qin is now in the limelight. The merits of the servant, even the brother of the servant can follow the tide, increase the rank and become a noble, and on the other hand, once the crown prince comes to power, how can the king of Qin, who is fighting for the heir, come to a good end, the elder brother of the servant... I'm afraid..." Speaking of this, Qingchan covered half of her face with her sleeves, and finally couldn't help crying, "Princess Qin, it's the servant's fault! It almost harmed the entire Palace of Prince Qin!"

Yun Wanqin took a deep breath, this old fox!Sure enough, she was eloquent, coaxing and threatening, no wonder Qingchan was so scared to poison her!Since He Lianyun paid so much attention to the movements of Helian's younger sister in Daxuan, he must also know that Qingchan's brother is a close vassal of the King of Qin, and he can only take advantage of her weakness if he and the King of Qin are both hurt.

She helped Qingchan who was crumbling from crying, and the doubts in the medicine room surfaced just now, and she stabilized her mind: "Qingchan, did He Lianyun bring you the poison from Mengnu?"

Seeing Yun Wanqin's serious expression, Qingchan suppressed her guilty sobs and nodded, "How does Princess Qin know? When He Lianyun handed the poison to the servant, in order to reassure the servant, he once said that he brought the poison from the Northland , very safe, even if you use silver needles to test it out, the medicine powder will be effective when soaked in liquid, and it will make people poisonous, and it is said that this poison is very rare in the Central Plains, even the imperial physician may not be able to find out what it is Poison, even if it is detected, it is difficult to prepare an antidote."

Sure enough... the mystery in Yun Wanqin's heart became more and more obvious, and her voice trembled: "Did He Lianyun tell you the name of this poison?"

Qingchan studied all kinds of herbal medicine since she was a child, so she naturally remembered the name clearly, and replied: "Puppet powder."

The three words are like a gust of wind, which coincides with Yun Wanqin's suspicion just now, and it really is the poison of the third master.

He was poisoned after eating breast milk when he was young.The poison is rubbed on the nurse's breasts, and the breast milk is in liquid form, and when the baby sucks it into the mouth, the poison can just be induced.

At that time, no imperial doctor really found out what kind of poison it was.According to Dr. Ying, after the third master was sent out of the palace to be raised, the Yao court sentenced this doctor to be an idiot. He was unwilling to live and die. During the continuous inspection day and night, he accidentally found out in the ancient scriptures, and it was confirmed that he was hit by the puppet powder. poison, but even if you know the name, you can't get the solution, you can only slowly grope for the antidote.

The poison in the third master was originally owned by the Mongolian slaves——this can't be a coincidence.

Before Empress Jiang died, she said that she was not the one who harmed the third master. Yun Wanqin had always been dubious. Now, the person who really poisoned the prince was approaching, but she didn't dare to think about it.

How can it be?

Yun Wanqin couldn't think of any reason, she was the one who poisoned the third master in the end, but the facts told her that she definitely had something to do with it.

He Lianyun whispered to He Lianshi the day before yesterday: "...from the time of infancy to now, you have blocked his way like this..."
