Chapter 99
Jin Ning leaned back and sat down again.

She knew that the old lady's methods were not limited to this, she was always prepared.

If you can't disassemble the first two items, you will get a bad reputation, and you can't get along in Beijing, so you have to pack your bags and go back to Qingzhou.

But if it can be disassembled, then there must be another way, otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss for her to spend so much on today's banquet?

Dim sum is on the ground in turn, many of which are exquisite dim sum from southern China.

It's just that I eat too much snacks and I'm tired, and the weather is hot, so I can't eat much sweets.

Fortunately, Yuan Shi was well prepared and asked a few servants to serve the coconut water she had brought back from the southern kingdom.

There are very few coconuts in Beijing, and if there are, they are also old coconuts, with only coconut meat and no water.Fresh young coconuts have juice inside.

Qingying and Lihua from the Lihuayuan also came up to offer coconut water, and they put the cups in front of Jinning and the princess.

This is a rare product, even Madam Jingguo couldn't resist drinking a bowl.

"It's cold, it's really delicious." Madam Jingguo said.

Yuan said with a smile: "Isn't it? Pour out the coconut water in advance, put it in a clay pot, seal it, soak it in the well water of Lihuayuan, and soak it in the well water of Lihuayuan. It will be cold and delicious when you bring it up."

Mrs. Jiang Ninghou also drank, with a faint smile on her face, "There are so many delicacies and fruits in the southern country, no wonder the old lady is so happy to go back to Beijing."

The old lady smiled and said: "No matter how good the southern country is, it's not as solid as at home."

When Jin Ning heard that she was soaking in the well in the Ewha Garden, she kept it in mind, she didn't know about it.

She took a closer look at her own bowl and the princess's bowl, and she remembered them. There was a smear of bright red on the side, which was not conspicuous, but she could tell the difference.

Others don't have bowls.

She walked down with an excuse, pulled Qingying aside and asked, "Is the coconut water soaked in the pear garden?"

Qingying said: "Yes, as soon as you went out this morning, miss, the madam took the servants to sink the clay pots into the well in our yard. Just now the second madam took the people to the Lihuayuan to set up the pots, and ordered the servants She and Lihua also brought them here, the second lady said that the maidservant and Lihua entered the mansion not long ago, and they don't understand the rules, so they are afraid of losing guests, so they told us to only send them to the princess and you."

Seeing Jin Ning frowning deeply, Qing Ying asked, "Miss, what's the problem?"

Jin Ning shook his head, "It's okay, don't go back, just wait here, if you have anything to do later, just say it."

Qingying dared not ask when she saw so many people, but felt uneasy.

Jin Ning sat back, she was almost sure that someone else had something in their bowl.

And she and the princess should not have.

The things were delivered from the Ewha Garden, and if she dropped them, she would be the most suspicious.

She misjudged the old lady a little bit, she thought she would disdain to use such a method.

Madam Jingguo who was standing in front of her suddenly said: "By the way, the empress dowager developed a medicine for strengthening the body a few days ago and gave me a bottle. It happens that all the ladies are here. How about trying it for the empress dowager?" This medicine?"

As she spoke, she asked Princess Rui'an beside her to distribute medicine for her.

Hearing that the tonic developed by the Empress Dowager was ineffective, everyone felt extremely honored and looked forward to it.

Princess Ruian distributed them one by one, and distributed them to the wives.

The pill is red, like a layer of varnish, shiny, and smells it carefully, it has a sweet and greasy taste.

"You don't need to take it with water, just put it in your mouth and chew it." Mrs. Jingguo Hou said, and took one by herself.

The old lady took the medicine and said with a smile: "I never thought that I would be so honored, thanks to the blessing of the lady."

Everyone took the medicine one after another, and chewed it a few times like Mrs. Jingguo Hou did.

"Sweet, but also slightly bitter, no medicinal taste, good stuff!" Madam Shang Shu laughed.

Mrs. Jingguo smiled slightly, "The empress dowager said that she took snow lotus, but I don't know if it is true or not. The snow lotus has the effect of detoxification. My wife has eaten it before, and it will cause mild diarrhea and abdominal pain. After the toxins in the body are discharged, after diarrhea and abdominal pain, take the Baimi pills made by her, and cooperate with each other to restore Qi and blood, strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality. After the ladies return home, my wife will order people to send Baimi pills to the house."

Everyone thanked them one after another, and their eyebrows were very happy.

When the old lady and Yuan Shi heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

After a while, the old lady felt pain in her abdomen, she asked Yuan Shi to help her to the latrine, but Yuan Shi also had abdominal pain, so she sat on the stone bench and covered her stomach.

Jin Ning stood up and supported the old lady's arm, "Grandmother, granddaughter will help you go."

There were also wives who stood up one after another and said that they were going to the latrine. Everyone was very happy, thinking that this was to expel the toxins from the body.

The huts of the Duke's Mansion were overcrowded for a while.

Jin Ning helped the old lady go, the old lady didn't have severe abdominal pain, and she didn't drink much coconut water, so when she got out of the yard, she broke free from Jin Ning's support, with a cold expression on her face.

Jin Ning smiled, "Grandmother is good at it!"

"What do you want to say, just say it!" The old lady said coldly.

"Grandmother really took great pains to talk about food for the outside world. She even held a banquet to clarify for me. The granddaughter will always remember grandma's kindness." Jin Ning smiled sweetly, but there was ice-cracked hatred in her eyes.

The old lady stood up slowly and looked at her without saying anything, but she did not hide the hatred in her eyes.

Jin Ning said word by word: "You owe us mother and daughter, and I will get it back with interest."

After finishing speaking, Jin Ning took a step back and raised the corners of her mouth, "Grandmother is going to the latrine, so granddaughter won't accompany her."

She turned and went back.

In the gazebo, only Madam Yasukuni and Princess Ping An were left.

"This old lady still dares to poison?" The princess was wise after all, and she saw the clue.

Mrs. Yasukuni Hou said indifferently: "No poison."

The princess was taken aback, "Did you poison?"

Jin Ning smiled lightly, "Can poisoning be hidden from those wives, Mrs. Jing Guohou and the princess? She won't do that."

The princess looked at Madam Jingguo, "I thought you were dismantling the pills for Jinning."

Jin Ning explained: "After eating so many snacks and sweets, then drinking the cool high mountain tea, and then drinking the ice-cold coconut water, whose stomach can bear it? Abdominal pain is certain, but the people present don't understand the principles of medicine. , once everyone has abdominal pain, the old lady becomes suspicious and asks someone to check, of course nothing can be found, only the coconut water is taken from my pear garden, and the bowl between me and the princess is remembered , Everyone thinks that I want to disturb the old lady's banquet and deliberately lose face of the old lady, so I put medicine in the coconut water."

Madam Jingguo gave her an indifferent look, "You have a clear mind."

Jin Ning actually thought it was poisoned just now, but thinking about it, the old lady would not be so stupid, because if it really needs to be investigated, the Duke's House cannot get away with it.

But what poison can only cause abdominal pain and diarrhea?Mostly it was caused by croton diarrhea or something like that. She later remembered that when she was in Zhuangzi, she had tried to eat sweets and drink well water, and she also had abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Then even the croton is saved.
