The emperor broke the contract again today

Chapter 19 Mysterious Fingerprints
Although Shi Xia was frightened just now, after all, she has changed a lot after being with Yun Xiyan these days, and she calmed down after a while.Hearing the young lady's order, he faintly felt that this matter was not trivial, and he couldn't be careless, so he walked quickly, went to the medical center outside the mansion, found a doctor pretending to be a servant, and disguised the medical bag as a carry-on bag, and quietly brought it back from the side door Prince's Mansion.

The doctor had already collected a lot of money, and seeing that he had entered the Prince's Mansion directly, he didn't dare to show any airs. After seeing the stunning woman in the hall, he knew that this was the rightful owner, and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects.

Yun Xiyan waved her hand to avoid those etiquettes, and directly pointed to the several teacups on the table and said to the doctor, "Go and check if there is any problem with the tea in those cups."

The doctor was shocked when he heard her words. He thought he had guessed something, but he didn't dare to say anything. He took the silver needle out of the medicine bag, stepped forward, and tested the remaining tea in several cups one by one.After some inspection, he found nothing special, so he turned around and bent down to report to Yun Xiyan, "Ma'am, the tea is normal."

Yun Xiyan frowned, this is impossible, if the tea is normal, it is impossible for the pot of Clivia to turn into dead branches after Shi Xia pours the tea.Since Shixia went out, she has stayed in the room without leaving half a step, and it is even more impossible for someone to change the tea in the cup. She mused, "If you change the method, check again."

Lancheng was originally at the foot of the emperor, and there were many dignitaries in the city. The doctor is also a man who can read words and expressions. Looking at Yun Xiyan's expression, he knew that there must be something wrong with this matter. In addition, before coming here, Shixia also implicitly expressed that it was related to poisoning. He is also well prepared.After hearing Yun Xiyan's order, she took out a few things from the bag again, tried them in the cup one by one, but still found nothing, but she also knew that Yun Xiyan would not let it go, so nervous and anxious, she took a risk. A fine sweat broke out.

Yun Xiyan carefully watched every step of the doctor, and when she saw that she still hadn't found it, she couldn't help but frown. What is the problem?
His eyes were fixed on the white and delicate porcelain cup, and when he saw a tea stain on the outer cup wall due to Shi Xia pouring tea, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he said to the doctor, "Go and check again. Don't let go of any corner of those teacups."

The doctor thought for a while, then took out a packet of white powder and a small brush from the medicine bag again, stirred it evenly in the container, and then gently brushed it on the wall of the cup with the brush.

Yun Xiyan held her breath and stared at the brushed teacups without blinking, one by two, Yun Xiyan's brows became tighter and tighter, could it be that her previous guess was wrong?Didn't Clivia wither because the tea is poisonous?
Just when she thought it was because she was too caring and was about to give up, a change finally appeared on the wall outside the fourth teacup, and several blue oval spots appeared on the rim of the cup.

Shi Xia gasped when she saw it, "Miss, this..."

Yun Xiyan pursed her lips and looked up at the doctor.

"This powder is specially made by me. It will change color when it is poisoned. Normally poisons are black, but this poison is dark blue, which means that the toxicity is severe. If ordinary people take a little bit of it, they will die instantly." The doctor explained hurriedly.

Yun Xiyan took the teacup from the doctor's hand, looked carefully, and could vaguely see circles of fine lines in the blue marks, which turned out to be fingerprints.

The person who poisoned him was really clever, he actually used this method, just took the teacup from Shi Xia's hand and handed it to her, and the poison was already poisoned.If she drank tea, no matter which direction she drank from, the tea would pass through the poison before entering her mouth.If she is really dead, the tea is also in her own room, and no one will pay attention to the teacup.

This person must be a person with a delicate mind, and she is the only one who has touched this teacup, Shi Xia and the four concubines who came to pay her respects in the morning. She absolutely believes in Shi Xia's loyalty, so the person who poisoned it can only be those four concubines. one of the women.

Yun Xiyan pondered for a while, looked at the doctor in front of her and asked, "Does the doctor know what kind of poison this is?"

"The villain is incompetent, I don't know." The doctor raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his brow, and replied cautiously.

"Do you know what to do after going back to today's matter?" Yun Xiyan asked in a deep voice.

"Nothing happened today, and the villain has never been here before." The doctor knelt down on the ground with a thud, and replied tremblingly. He saw that Shixia was going alone, as if he was an ordinary big family. How could he think of it? It will involve the royal affairs.Maybe it can't be done well, not only will he lose his life, but the whole family will also be implicated. At this time, I just wish I had never been here before, how dare I have other ideas.

"Well, it's good to know, Shi Xia, you send him out, be careful, don't be seen by others." Yun Xiyan told Shi Xia, she had no intention of embarrassing the doctor, just to be on the safe side, she said between words Scared him a little.

The doctor was already sweating profusely from fright, and when he heard that he could leave, he seemed to be amnesty. After saluting to Yun Xiyan, he hurriedly followed Shi Xia and left through the side door.

After the doctor left, Yun Xiyan fell into deep thought. The order of the teacups had long been disturbed, and it was impossible for her to judge who made the cup based on the order in which the tea was served.

The appearances of those women flashed in front of my eyes one by one. The four of them were obviously headed by Zixuan, and Zixuan's character was just like the brightly colored dress on her body, flamboyant and aggressive. This kind of person is actually the simplest, no matter what you like Or if she doesn't like it, she will directly show it on her face. She should not have such a delicate mind to poison.The second and third ones, Mrs. Zhang and Liu, have a much calmer personality than Liu, but they are not much better than Zixuan, while the fourth woman named Shiqi is timid and cowardly. Being embarrassed, but showing panic, it is obvious that he is often bullied by the other three people on weekdays. This kind of person will not have the intention of actively harming others.

Did they hide it too well, or was it someone else who poisoned them?Yun Xiyan didn't have the slightest idea, she looked at the mysterious fingerprints on the cup and felt indignant in her heart, this damn ancient times with backward technology, if it was in modern times, these few fingerprints alone could easily catch the real culprit, so why would she need to use it? What do you think.

Shi Xia sent the doctor to the door, asked him for some powder that can be used for drug testing, and gave him a lot of money. After threatening again, he turned and went back to the house.

Back in the hall, seeing that Yun Xiyan was still frowning, she thought for a while and said, "Miss, I just saw that the fourth prince has returned to the court, should we tell the fourth prince about the poisoning?"

When Yun Xiyan heard it, she seemed to think of something suddenly, and a smile appeared on her face, "Go and tell those concubines, just say that I want to get closer to everyone, and everyone will be with the fourth prince at noon. Dining in the hall."

Although Shi Xia didn't understand Yun Xiyan's reaction, she still notified the concubines one by one according to her instructions.
