Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 209

"You and Wang Zimo are the only ones who have been in contact with medicinal materials. If it wasn't for you, could it be Miss Wang next to you?" Gu Zixing asked Zhao Min lightly, as if watching an animal trapped in a cage make its final struggle .

"His Royal Highness." Zhao Min said lightly, "Besides me and Miss Wang, there is probably one other person who has been in contact with medicinal materials. Have you forgotten?"

"Oh, who is it?" Gu Zixing showed his full patience, he wanted to see how Zhao Min could justify himself in this situation.

Gu Lingqing saw that there was no panic on Zhao Min's face, and she thought she was confident in her heart, so she didn't say much, and left it to Zhao Min to handle it.

Not only that, but because of Gu Lingqing's current status, she couldn't say anything for Zhao Min. If she said too many mistakes, it would easily arouse some people's suspicion.

Thinking of this, Gu Lingqing felt a wave of self-blame in her heart. Now she doesn't have enough power to protect her.

Zhao Min was not in a hurry to speak up to defend himself. During the whole process of buying medicine just now, he was holding the medicinal materials, and only handed them to the boy after arriving at the venue.

That is to say, the boy secretly poured medicine into the medicinal materials during the time when he was sitting on the table under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Because the reason for the competition was that the servants serving in the arena were not allowed to come in and out at will, so from the time when Zhao Min came back to the time when the Crown Princess fell ill, the servants never left the sight of everyone.

Then... Zhao Min glanced at the boy's hands, he must have had no time to deal with the medicine on his hands.

After Zhao Min took a calm look at Gu Zixing, he walked up to the boy.

The servant who was kneeling on the ground looked at Zhao Min with a firm expression on his face, felt a little guilty, and lowered his head slightly.

"His Royal Highness, did he forget that this boy is going to buy medicine with the girls, and he has plenty of time to talk about poisoning."

After hearing Zhao Min's accusation, the boy's expression changed drastically, he kowtowed and begged for mercy, and defended himself: "His Royal Highness, the slave has never met this woman before, so why would he deliberately slander her? The servant is really wronged."

"Let's talk about poisoning again." The young man's expression calmed down a bit, and he looked at Zhao Min naked, "How dare a slave do such a rebellious thing as poisoning the crown princess?"

The boy was chattering on and on to excuse himself, which made Zhao Min feel very bored, and didn't want to hear more from him, so he immediately stopped him from making noise.

"Dare or not, you can't judge just by your rhetoric!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Min walked directly to Jia Mingyun's side, clasped his hands together and said, "Physician Jia, can you tell me what you just said so that the little girl can explain it to everyone here?"

Jia Mingyun didn't know what Zhao Min said, but after listening to her question, he was just stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Of course."

After Zhao Min gave him a grateful look, he went straight to the high platform.

Everyone's eyes followed her movements, and even Gu Zixing didn't stop her, so he wanted to see how Zhao Min wanted to excuse himself!
I saw Zhao Min took a cup of tea from the table, walked to stand in front of the servant, everyone didn't know what Zhao Min was going to do next, they just looked at her with bated breath.

And Zhao Min looked at the boy who was still kneeling on the ground, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and directly poured the tea in the teapot onto his right hand.

Although the tea was not hot and had already cooled down, but when someone poured water on it, the boy still yelled "Ah".

Seeing that the boy's right hand remained unchanged, Zhao Mei froze for a moment, a scene flashed in her mind, it seemed that just now, when the boy handed the paper with the materials Wang Zimo needed to the nine princesses, he used It's the left hand.

Thinking of this, Zhao Min must have looked at the boy's left hand for a while, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, but he didn't expect that the boy's habitual hand was his left hand.

"His Royal Highness, please be the master of this slave. I don't know what is the meaning of this girl's behavior?" The servant really seized any opportunity to call for grievances for himself.

Gu Zixing looked at Zhao Min with a flash of disdain, thinking that she would have some clever method, but she didn't expect that she just exposed her attributes as a country woman and poured tea all over him to vent her personal anger.

Country Bride, but that's all!I really don't know what Gu Lingqing and Gu Qi are looking for in her.

"Don't make excuses, delay time! Someone, hurry up and detain this vicious woman to me!"

As soon as Gu Zixing finished speaking, officers and soldiers came towards Zhao Min. Zhao Min didn't show any panic on his face, and directly poured all the remaining tea in the teapot onto the boy's left hand.

Just when Zhao Min finished splashing, officers and soldiers stepped forward and restrained her.

"Gu Zixing!" Seeing the officers and soldiers walking towards Zhao Min, Gu Qi hurriedly called out Gu Zixing's name.

Standing by the side, Wang Zimo, who had never spoken aloud, made a fuss and yelled, "Ah!"

After she shouted, everyone's eyes focused on her, Wang Zimo pointed to the boy's left hand, and his tone was full of disbelief: "What's wrong with his left hand?"

After hearing her words, everyone looked at the boy's left hand, and found that his whole hand showed signs of turning red, the fingers being the worst. "

Seeing this, Zhao Min shook his shoulders, and freed the hands of the officers and soldiers from his arms: "Sure enough, it's not what Imperial Physician Jia expected, so I ask Imperial Physician Jia to check it out."

Zhao Min attributed all the credit to Jia Mingyun. After all, she didn't want to expose her good medical skills in front of so many people. As the saying goes, the less people know about it, the better.

Although Jia Mingyun didn't understand why his and Zhao Min's fingers turned red just now, but looking at the expectation in Zhao Min's eyes at this time, he also understood what she meant, and immediately stepped forward, took the boy's hand , after pretending to look at it, turned around and came to Gu Zixing's body.

"Go back to His Royal Highness, this boy is probably the one who poisoned you."

After hearing these words, Gu Zixing's face became very gloomy: "Doctor Jia, do you know what you were talking about just now?"

Facing Gu Zixing's explicit and secret threats, Jia Mingyun's expression did not change at all.

Instead, he passed Gu Zixing, walked to the table where Wang Zimo was mixing incense just now, put the medicinal material stained with khaki powder on the tray, and walked back: "His Royal Highness, please have a look."

Gu Zixing looked at the khaki powder stained on the medicinal material, his eyes darkened, he naturally knew what it was, and he personally ordered someone to hand it over to the boy.

"How unusual is this?" Gu Zixing pretended not to understand, "It's just dusty."

Jia Mingyun dipped some powder, then walked to the guard next to Gu Zixing, and saw that he was still holding the tea that he had just received from Gu Zixing.

Jia Mingyun directly brought over the tea from the guard and poured it on his hand.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jia Mingyun's fingers slowly turned red, and everyone around him exclaimed: "What's going on? How could this happen?"
