Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 374 Gu Poison (4)

Zhuo Yuan shook his head and replied, "Last night I went to search the Linshui Pavilion, Xia Yuanxi was very cooperative, and even generously let the guards go in and search the bedroom."

"You didn't go in?" Ning Yuyao asked with a frown.

"No!" Zhuo Yuan answered honestly, although Xia Yuanxi did not please the prince, but after all he was the prince's concubine in name.

At this time, Jiang Shaode put down Xia Yuanxi's hand with a solemn expression, "What poison did she eat?"

"Bird's nest!" Wan Cui replied immediately, "She didn't eat anything when she got up in the morning, and went straight to the kitchen to make bird's nest for the side princess. After finishing, she only tasted the bird's nest, and didn't eat anything else!"

"Where is that bowl of bird's nest?" Jiang Shaode's eyes lit up.

"It's still in the kitchen, servant girl will take it here." Wan Cui got up and ran to the kitchen.

Seeing Jiang Shaode's bright eyes, Ning Yuyao asked slightly surprised, "Why is Imperial Physician Jiang so happy? Could it be that the king's favorite concubine was poisoned, or is it something that makes Imperial Physician Jiang happy?"

Jiang Shaode realized his gaffe for a moment, but he still retorted sarcastically, "A concubine? If she was the concubine of the prince, would she have to get up in the middle of the night to cook for the concubine? If she was the concubine of the prince, Why does the guard beside you and the maid just now look so disdainful when talking about her? And why does the prince's brow reveal his boredom towards her?"

"The imperial physician has good eyesight, but even though he has good eyesight, he has misjudged his eyes. Now, can I bother the imperial physician with one more thing?"

Although Ning Yuyao secretly admired Doctor Jiang's excellent medical skills in his heart, and was full of gratitude to him for saving Pei Yuzhe, he was very dissatisfied with his agreement.

When Wan Cui brought the eye sockets, the bird's nest was already cold, Jiang Shaode immediately stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the cup, the moment everyone cast their eyes on the bird's nest, everyone was shocked!
The bowl of bird's nest, which was originally crystal clear and flawless, has turned into a light purple at this moment, and that color is the same purple as the color on Xia Yuanxi's face!
Seeing the purple bird's nest in her hand, Wan Cui was in a daze, as if there were thousands of insects crawling in it, she slipped her hand in fright, and a cup of bird's nest fell to the ground, shattered.

The crisp sound of porcelain shattering immediately brought back Wan Cui's consciousness. She was startled and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, this slave is guilty!"

Ning Yuyao showed a hint of displeasure on his face, and shouted, "Wan Cui, what are you doing?"

Wan Cui thought about it for a moment before saying, "Just now when the servant girl was holding this cup of bird's nest, for a moment she saw that the purple bird's nest inside seemed to be crawling with thousands of bugs, the servant girl was startled, and then broke the soup cup , please punish the servants!"

Hearing what Wan Cui said, Jiang Shaode stepped forward and asked, "Did you really see the purple bug?"

Wan Cui glanced at Ning Yuyao, saw that he was only frowning and silent, and replied hesitantly, "Perhaps it's not necessarily because the slaves are dazzled for a while."

Jiang Shaode squatted on the ground and carefully inspected the bird's nest scattered on the ground. The excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed. He was even a little excited, "You read that right, this poison is indeed caused by Gu insects!"

"Gu?" Ning Yuyao frowned even deeper. As far as he knew, witchcraft was prevalent only in Miaojiang, which is next to Nanman. How could there be Gu suddenly appearing in his house?

"This kind of Gu was not introduced to the Central Plains from Miaojiang. This Gu is called Ziyi Gu, and it is only found in the extremely cold regions of the Western Regions!"

Jiang Shaode used his hands to flip through a piece of bird's nest that had turned dark purple. He gently squeezed the thin piece of bird's nest and placed it under the rising sun.
