Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 207 Investigating the scene
Jia Mingyun looked at Gu Zixing anxiously, and shook his head gently: "Miscarriage."

"What?" Gu Zixing yelled, pushed Jia Mingyun aside vigorously, and ran into the house.

As soon as Gu Zixing arrived inside, she saw the princess lying weakly on the bed, weeping silently.

Gu Zixing hurriedly stepped forward and sat down by the bed, held the hand of the princess, and called softly: "Linglong..." Gu Zixing's voice was really soft, not at all as angry as before, as if she was afraid of scaring her To the princess lying on the bed.

After hearing Gu Zixing's voice, the concubine's dull eyes began to focus, her face showed infinite sadness, and she looked at Gu Zixing with pain and helplessness in her eyes: "Husband... child... my Children, our children."

Gu Zixing let go of the Crown Princess' hand, stood up, and helped her tuck the quilt: "Don't worry, Linglong, I will definitely seek justice for our child."

After finishing speaking, Gu Zixing put her hands behind her back and walked out of the room with a gloomy face.

When walking out of the room, he glanced casually at Zhao Min who was standing behind the Ninth Princess, and then asked, "Where are the people participating in this competition?"

"I was put under centralized supervision by my elder brother." After all, it was the concubine's miscarriage, and Gu Qi didn't want to argue with Gu Zixing at this time, so he kindly told him.

Gu Zixing snorted coldly, and walked to the front field.

Gu Lingqing was standing in the center of the field with a serious face. In front of him were the three contestants who participated in the finals just now, and the servant who had handled the medicinal materials.

"Tell me! Who is it? How dare you intend to murder the descendants of the royal family! It's really daring!" Gu Zixing did not say anything to mock Gu Lingqing this time. Looking at the people in front of him, he looked a little annoyed, and the anger in his voice was obvious, frightening. Everyone immediately knelt on the ground.

After all, Jia Mingyun was the only person on the scene who knew medical skills, at least in Gu Zixing's opinion.

Gu Zixing looked at the people kneeling in front of him with a gloomy expression, and saw Jia Mingyun walk to the table where the three of them used for the competition just now, and discern the materials of the three of them.

Zhao Min also participated in Jia Mingyun's action while he wasn't paying attention, but she didn't check other people's medicinal materials, but went straight to Wang Zimo's table. came by myself.

Most of the medicinal materials did not have any other problems, but Zhao Min and Jia Mingyun discovered the problem at the same time with one of them.

Looking carefully at the surface of the medicine, it was in the form of a khaki powder. If you didn’t look closely, you might think it was accidentally covered with dust. Zhao Min wanted to stretch out his hand to smell it, but was stopped by Jia Mingyun next to him.

Zhao Min shook his head lightly, and after signaling to him that it was okay, he took some powder and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

This powder has no smell, for a moment Zhao Min couldn't tell what it was?
After reading the things here, Zhao Min went to the table where the princess had been sitting just now, and saw a few plates of fruit and tea on the table. Of course, the tea was just a decoration, and the princess would not drink.

The Ninth Princess followed Zhao Min to the table, and asked very worriedly: "How is it? Have you found any clues?"

The expression on Zhao Min's face was not very good-looking, she always felt that there was a big hole waiting for her, so she shook her head in disappointment.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, the ninth princess was also thirsty, and she picked up the teacup on the table and was about to take it to her mouth.

Seeing this, Zhao Min snatched the teacup from her hand and scolded angrily: "I haven't found out how the accident happened to the Crown Princess, you dare to drink this tea indiscriminately!"

When Princess Nine heard this, she was also afraid in her heart. She was so anxious just now that she forgot about it!
"Zhao Min, your hand is hurt!"

Hearing the exclamation of the nine princesses, Zhao Min looked at his hands, only to see that his thumb and index finger turned slightly red.

Seeing some red marks on his hands, Zhao Min's head flashed with pain, and after he raised his left hand and pressed his temple, somehow, a thought flashed in his mind: phenolphthalein will turn red when it meets alkali.

Zhao Min felt very strange in her heart, but she didn't make a fuss. After all, she was a little used to it now, and some knowledge and words that she didn't understand very well would pop up in her mind from time to time.

Just now Zhao Min snatched the tea from Ninth Princess's hand in desperation, accidentally spilled some, and spilled it on her hand.

Tea is a strong alkaline thing, and the powder must contain phenolphthalein, which is why there is such a reaction.

Just when Zhao Min was in a daze, Jia Mingyun stepped forward, looked at the incense that Wang Zimo and Wang Zheyuan had mixed just now, picked it up and sniffed it under his nose for a long time, his face was horrified.

"What's the matter?" Princess Ninth asked anxiously seeing Jia Mingyun's expression was wrong.

Jia Mingyun pointed to Wang Zimo's box: "Cousin, this fragrance..."

Princess Jiu is also impatient. Seeing that he was slow to say what was going on, she immediately grabbed his sleeve and pulled it hard: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"

"This incense is poisonous." The expression on Jia Mingyun's face was not much better. In this way, his cousin was listed as a key suspect.

If you don't smell the usual miscarriage medicine, you will have miscarriage syndrome. It must be mixed with poison, which is why the princess has such an attack so quickly. Besides, the medicinal materials on the table just now, I and Zhao Min have already died. After careful inspection, there is no drug that has the effect of slipping tires.

"How could this be..." Ninth Princess murmured, her eyes full of disbelief.

At this time, Zhao Min had already figured it out, and without saying a word, he took Jia Mingyun's hand and put it into the teacup, and saw that Jia Mingyun's two fingers also turned red, as he had touched the powder just now.

"What's going on here?" Jia Mingyun was also shocked by the strange phenomenon in front of him.

After Zhao Min picked up the cloth on the table and wiped the fingers of the two of them clean, there was an unclear smile on the corner of his mouth: "Just wait and see the good show."

As soon as Zhao Min finished speaking, a soldier next to him ran forward, and after saluting the Ninth Princess and Jia Mingyun, he looked at Zhao Min next to him with unfriendly eyes: "The prince said that the girl is also suspected, please move .”

"This..." Ninth Princess showed concern.

Zhao Min just said lightly: "Okay." Then he followed the soldiers to the crowd briskly.

When the prince saw Zhao Min walking to Wang Zimo's side and standing still, there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

"If someone finds that the person around him is abnormal and reports it, the prince will spare his dog's life."

As soon as the crown prince finished speaking, a servant raised his hand tremblingly, pointing to a person next to him: "I...I saw her throwing things into the materials."

That boy was clearly the one who went out to buy medicinal materials with Zhao Min, his voice was trembling, and even the finger he stretched out was shaking violently, as if he was very frightened, and the person he was pointing at was Zhao Min!
