Chapter 648 Seeds of Doubt (3)
Aunt Shen immediately went out and ordered others to pass Qiu Se to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

After a while, Qiu Se appeared in front of Aunt Shen again.

Dongfang Yu calmly looked at the court lady Qiuse again. She looked very honest and honest on the outside, with her head bowed and her eyes bowed in a respectful manner. Her eyes didn't keep moving, or she showed a hint of guilt.

According to her understanding, Qiuse is diligent in hands and feet, strict in mouth, and clever; she knows that Aunt Shen has entrusted Qiuse with all the decoction, so naturally she can trust Qiuse.

Silence, like a thick and compelling wave, pushed towards Qiu Se layer by layer. Although her expression remained respectful, Dongfang Yu knew from her slightly flustered breathing that she must be feeling uneasy at the moment.

"Qiu Se, I heard that you have been solely responsible for the Queen Mother's medicine from decoction to boiling, and finally bringing it to the bedroom, right?" Dongfang Yu spoke leisurely, his tone as flat as talking to Qiu Se Let's talk about the weather today.

Although the tone of the Oriental language is casual, the attitude is gentle.But Qiu Se didn't dare to go beyond the rules. She lowered her head and said very humbly: "Second Miss, the Queen Mother's medicine is indeed in charge of the servants."

"Then did you ever leave the small kitchen when you were decocting the medicine today?" Dongfang Yu continued to ask. When she asked, there was still a slight smile on her brows and eyes, and her pleasant voice definitely did not make Qiuse feel any uneasiness. .

When Qiu Se heard this, her eyes showed a little panic, and her shoulders trembled almost invisibly.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

"Qiu Se, let me tell you the truth. I have already inspected the medicine you brought just now, and someone added a medicine to it. Because of this extra medicine, the medicine I prescribed for the Queen Mother finally became In other words, the bowl of medicine on the lower table is not good for the Empress Dowager's body, but a bowl of poison for urging death, do you understand the seriousness of the matter?"

"Poison...poison?"

Qiu Se was almost stunned when she heard the words. She trembled with an expression of disbelief. Looking at the calm and stunning girl, she trembled her lips for a long time before uttering these words.

"That's right, it's poison. If it wasn't for my coincidence, Aunt Shen would have fed the whole bowl of medicine to the Queen Mother. If that was the case, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only would you be severely punished and lose your life, but so many people in this hall would also Not much better."

The oriental voice is faint, and the eyes flow leisurely like water.

This Rushui eyes flashed a bit cunningly.

Aunt Shen was stunned; she remembered that Dongfang Yu hadn't answered her in that way just now; she raised her head and glanced at Dongfang Yu quietly, and then seemed to understand something, after the glance, she lowered her head again, and then looked at Dongfang Yu intently. Qiu Se.

Qiu Se's face turned pale and scary for a moment. She looked at Dongfang Yu, her knees became weak for no reason, and she knelt down towards Dongfang Yu with a "plop".

"Second miss, please find a way to save the queen mother."

Qiu Se's voice was anxious and tinged with fear, and her eyes were slightly frantic.

"Save, of course I want to save." Dongfang Yu stood in front of her leisurely, with his light white palm slightly stretched out in front of Qiu Se's eyes. "But while saving the queen mother, I must find out who secretly added this medicine."

If the hidden danger is not eliminated, it can kill people at any time.

Qiu Se stared at the white jade palm, thought for a while, put her own palm on it, and then slowly stood up.

"Second Miss, please believe that this medicine was definitely not added by the servant; the loyalty of the servant to the Queen Mother is a lesson to the heavens."

Qiu Se still bowed her head, but her voice was no longer trembling, and her tone even had a hint of firm hatred.

"I didn't say you added the medicine." The girl smiled slightly, her smile was plain and warm, her eyes were as clear as water, flowing around, making one feel that all the secrets and dirt in the heart had been washed away by her clear eyes.

"I just want to know, did you stay in front of the fire while decocting the medicine?"

Qiu Se looked up and met the girl's clear eyes, and her heart was shocked.

She quickly lowered her head, and then said respectfully: "Second Miss, this servant has been guarding the fire to decoct the medicine with trepidation in the past, but today... Today, the servant felt sick to her stomach while decocting the medicine, and she went to the toilet on the way, but the time was very short. The slaves never dare to be ambiguous about the Queen Mother's medicine."

Dongfangyu frowned very quickly when she heard the words, but there was no surprise on her face, and then she smiled and asked very casually: "Oh, what did you do then? You called someone else to do it for you. Are you guarding? Or closed the door? Well, did you meet anyone on the way?"

Qiu Se lowered her head, staring at her toes, not daring to move away.

"Slave... Slave..." Qiu Se also knew the seriousness of the matter, hesitated for a while, and said it was not good.

Dongfangyu looked at her quietly, not intending to put pressure on her.

Qiu Se raised her head again and took a quick look at the radiant girl, gritted her teeth, and said in a desperate gesture: "The servant closed the door and went out. When I came back, the door was still well closed."

Qiu se said so, even if she didn't close the door, she didn't ask someone to guard it for her.

Dongfang Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes turned cold for a moment.

"Well, I remember meeting Ming Xin after I went out, but I looked back at her and saw her walking in the opposite direction."

Dongfangyu nodded noncommittally, but Qiuse was cautious.

Qiu Se said this to let her understand that the maid named Ming Xin was not suspected of committing the crime.

"Qiu Se, you haven't poured out those medicine residues yet, have you?"

Qiu Se was startled, and then understood the meaning of the oriental language, "Second Miss, the maidservant hasn't dealt with those medicine residues yet."

"I'll go to the small kitchen." Said Dongfangyu, without waiting for Qiu Se's reaction, he walked directly to the small kitchen specially used for decocting medicine.

Qiu Se quickly followed her.

The small kitchen is not far away, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to get there.

When Qiu Se was away, the kitchen door was also locked.

Qiu se didn't wait for Dongfang Yu's order, opened the door, and brought out the medicine jar.

"Pour out the dregs."

Qiu Se immediately complied and poured out the medicine dregs in a rush.

The dregs of the medicine were poured out, and all kinds of medicinal materials were spread out in the sun, and the smell of medicine wafted everywhere with the wind.

Dongfang Yu looked at these steamed medicine residues, and was slightly taken aback, but his eyes became darker in an instant.

She didn't need to look at the dregs of the medicine, just by smelling the smell of the medicine that was blown away by the wind, she knew that there was nothing wrong with the dregs of the medicine.

Because from these medicines, she didn't smell the faint sour smell at all.

But for the sake of prudence, she spread out the dregs of the medicine very carefully and checked them bit by bit.
