The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

284 Mist
"Han'er!"

Yuechan yelled: "Take these dishes down, and find a cat or a dog..."

Huan'er's expression changed, and she brought out the dishes with trepidation.

Gao Zixuan also looked suspicious: "Why, there is something wrong with these dishes."

While speaking, he pulled Yuechan to his side and observed carefully: "You just took a bite, did you feel okay?"

"Lvyi, go and invite an imperial physician." Gao Zixuan called out.

Yuechan quickly stretched out her hand to comfort him: "It's okay, I just touched my lips a little, and I felt that there was no taste in my mouth, so I didn't swallow it at all, don't worry."

Gao Zixuan heaved a sigh of relief, but still had an angry expression on his face: "Who is on duty in the kitchen today, who made the dishes, and who is responsible for the purchase, I will find out everything for this king, and no one will be let off."

He's obviously doing a thorough investigation here, and Yuechan doesn't object.

Obviously, someone poisoned them, so they can't let it go. You have to find out who poisoned them, so as to ensure safety.

If they can't be found out, who would have any desire to eat? The management of the kitchen of the Nine Princes' Mansion is extremely strict, and people can be poisoned in just like this. In the mansion, I am afraid that I will not be able to live in peace.

Just ordered to go down for a thorough investigation, Huan'er came in with a pale complexion, and knelt on the ground with a plop as soon as he entered the room: "My lord, my concubine, just now we went out and fed all those vegetables to the chickens and ducks in the mansion, and found that three of them were poisonous. , are all the vegetables that the princess loves to eat on weekdays..."

These words startled Gao Zixuan even more, obviously, someone came for Yuechan.

Yuechan also took a step back, she wasn't afraid of what would happen to her, the point was that she was pregnant with a child now, and the conspicuous child was getting bigger and bigger, and this kind of thing happened, and she didn't know which wicked person couldn't see it, Dare to poison her and the child.

Could it be the aunt in the mansion?
Yuechan was a little skeptical, although she said that the rest of the aunts were honest, but people should not be fooled by appearances, who knows which one is hiding a traitor, and besides, knowing people knows the face but not the heart, and those who have a kind heart and an evil heart will do evil things Come on, it's even more terrifying than the vicious one on the surface.

She quietly took a look at Gao Zixuan, and Gao Zixuan seemed to have thought of this, and slapped the table: "Come here, order me to detain those concubines in the mansion, search their houses one by one, and give me a severe punishment." check."

Someone had already responded and ordered, Gao Zixuan said again: "The cooks in the kitchen and the handymen, as well as those who are doing the shopping, are all detained by this king, let them all kneel in the sun on the porch, and they can only get up after they have confessed clearly. , there is one who does not confess, let everyone kneel with him."

Heshun was also alarmed at this moment, and ran over in a cold sweat, and happened to hear Gao Zixuan ordering to check the staff in the kitchen, so he took the order and asked a few confidant eunuchs to check.

After a bad meal, both Gao Zixuan and Yuechan were furious, Huan'er approached cautiously: "My lord, do you want to serve some more food?"

"What's the matter with the show, isn't the student suspected of being poisoned to death!"

Yuechan was in a bad mood when she ate poison when eating at her own home, and her tone was also bad.

Gao Zixuan shook Yuechan's hand, and said to Huan'er: "Ask someone to make it again, Huan'er will watch the dishes made this time, let them taste it before bringing it over."

Huan'er bowed her head and retreated respectfully.

Gao Zixuan turned his head to look at Yuechan: "Now that you are eating for two, you have to eat, so you can eat some. When the new melons and fruits from the south arrive in the afternoon, you can eat more."

Yuechan couldn't bear to disappoint Gao Zixuan's kindness, so she nodded in agreement.

The food there is not ready yet, and here, some aunts in several side rooms have already cried out their grievances, crying earth-shatteringly, even Yuechan heard some voices.

"My lord..." Yuechan looked at Gao Zixuan, she really didn't know how to deal with those aunts.

Logically speaking, from her standpoint, no matter how honest these aunts are, they still occupy the titles of aunts in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Is there only one woman?

But if you think about it for Gao Zixuan, these aunts are necessary. Gao Zixuan is the prince. If there is really only one woman, he doesn't think much of it. Even Emperor Tianchen wouldn't allow him to leave the house.

These aunts seem to be quite An Sheng, if someone is really the murderer, according to Gao Zixuan's temper, I'm afraid they will be punished severely, if that's the case, it means that a newcomer enters the house, Yuechan thinks about it, she still feels a little uncomfortable Relieved.

Gao Zixuan thought for a while: "I've silenced the king, captured all their servants, interrogated them one by one, and also searched their rooms thoroughly, and searched for anything suspicious. come out."

Several young eunuchs responded and went to search.

The aunts just made a fuss, and the people in the kitchen began to confess, and Liu San, who was in charge of purchasing, spoke first.

He shouted from the corridor at the second door: "My lord, it's not the fault of the little ones, the little ones just remembered that the poisoned dishes seem to be sent by the Meng family..."

One stone caused a thousand waves.

Yuechan just took a mouthful of porridge, but before she swallowed it, she choked on this sentence, the porridge stuck in her throat and couldn't get up or down, her face turned red even after holding back.

Gao Zixuan quickly brought water for Yuechan to drink, and gently patted her back, and when Yuechan felt better, he said angrily, "Let Liu San come in."

Soon Liu San was brought in, knelt on the ground without daring to lift his head, trembling with fear under Gao Zixuan's power: "Little one, my little one greets the prince and the princess..."

"What's the matter? The princess was almost scared to death by your voice." Gao Zixuan slammed the table and angrily shouted at Liu San: "You are also an old man in the house, haven't you learned the rules yet, dare to yell in front of the master?" Call, you are impatient."

Liu San was so frightened that his entire body fell on the ground, unable to speak: "Little, little... my lord, please forgive me..."

Yuechan pulled Gao Zixuan, lowered her voice and said to Liu San: "Don't be afraid, tell me carefully, why are those dishes sent by the Meng family?"

Liu San nodded his head and stabilized his voice: "Returning to the princess, since the princess has a bad appetite, the Meng family is also very nervous, often sending some fresh melons, fruits and vegetables to our house, saying that it is for the princess to try something new. Yes, and the Eldest Young Master also often sends some things, these are all known by the princess."

There is such a thing, Yuechan nodded: "I know this, but today's dish..."

Liu San nodded again: "Not only the little ones, but also other people in the kitchen can testify that this dish was indeed sent by the Meng family. The servant of the Meng Mansion who got up early brought it here and said it was the Zhuangzi of the Meng Mansion. The newly produced ones are not sold in the market yet, so let the princess try them out, and I also said that I have asked the imperial doctor, pregnant women can eat this dish without any problem."

Gao Zixuan frowned: "You accept the Meng family as soon as it is delivered. Didn't you check it out carefully, just in case someone pretends to be the Meng family's name!"

Now is an extraordinary period, according to the way the Meng family delivers food every three days, many people may be aware of it, if there is really someone who hates Yuechan and pretends to be the name of the Meng family to send some poisoned vegetables, there will be no surprises in the kitchen. Check, maybe...

The more Gao Zixuan thought about it, the more terrified he became: "He Shun, just make a note, from now on, everything for the princess to eat and use will be thoroughly inspected, and the food must be tasted first before being delivered, and the clothes must be properly worn. There is a special person in charge, if something goes wrong, I just need to find that person."

He Shun quickly responded.

"My lord, why don't you guys dare to check? You guys have been in the palace for many years, so you naturally understand the rules of the palace. Even the things sent by the heavenly king and Lao Tzu must be checked thoroughly before they can be used by the masters." Liu San at this moment He spoke a lot more smoothly, and answered with a bowed head.

"The little one remembers clearly. At that time, the servants who delivered the vegetables in the Meng family also knew each other. Although they often came and went, they were the sons of the Meng family. When the vegetables were delivered, the young ones looked at them fresh. The color is also neat, verdant and verdant, so I took a handful and ate it raw, I thought it tasted good, so I made it for the princess."

Yuechan listened and nodded: "You mean to say that there is no problem with the dishes sent by the Meng family. The problem should be in the middle of cooking by the cooks, or the maids tampered with the dishes. That's right. no?"

Liu San hurriedly responded: "That's what the little ones think. Thanks to the kindness of the prince and concubine, the young ones are able to have a place to live in the palace. Naturally, they must be loyal to the prince and concubine. Don't say anything else. When the little ones go out to buy , it’s extremely fine, you have to taste everything, you only buy it when you see it’s fresh, and you never dare to shoddy it.”

This Liu Sanyuechan knew about it. Although she was eloquent, she was not the one who cheated and played tricks. She was also safe in doing things, so she probably wouldn't...

Furthermore, after Yuechan entered the house, she began to rectify the palace. All those who only took money and did not work, and who kept talking to others all day long, sent them out, and now they can stay in the mansion and be reused. It's good, how come...

"Heshun, go out and ask, who have seen the people who delivered the food from the Meng family, and who have eaten those dishes?"

Gao Zixuan thought for a while, and asked Heshun to investigate again.

After a while, He Shun came in and bowed to salute: "My lord, my concubine, the slaves have asked, not only Liu San who is doing the shopping, but also the boys who are in charge of transporting vegetables, and the cooks who are in charge of washing and cutting vegetables. Mother saw those dishes, and several people ate them, so they dared to make them for the princess to eat after they were safe."

Gao Zixuan nodded: "Interrogate the cooks and the girl who passed the dishes. If you can't find out, let them kneel down. If you can't ask again, you will bring disaster to the family. Let them all come and accompany them." Kneeling, don't say anything for an hour, kneel for an hour, don't say anything for a day, let me kneel honestly for a day."

Gao Zixuan's face was gloomy, his expression was very bad, and his words were decisive, revealing such a sense of iron and blood, Yuechan was a little frightened when he heard it, let alone Liu San who was kneeling on the ground.

He was smart, and was covered in cold sweat, so he didn't care to wipe it off, so he smacked his head on the ground: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

Two young eunuchs came over and pulled Liu San out, Yuechan looked at Gao Zixuan and wanted to say something, but seeing his expression, she swallowed it back.

Today's incident reminded Yuechan, she thought she had taken charge of the entire Ninth Prince's Mansion, but she never expected that there would be someone framing her under her nose, if it wasn't for her sudden suspicion today, or her appetite ,So……

Yuechan couldn't imagine what would happen if she ate those dishes, and what if Gao Zixuan ate them?
Just thinking about it makes her cheeks sweat, Yuechan's palms are wet with sweat as she holds the veil, and the silk veil is covered with sweat: "My lord, what if they don't talk about it, or the poison is not theirs." What's next?"
