famous eldest daughter

Chapter 597 Unhurried

Chinanhou Mansion.

Scoop out a small porcelain bowl from the milk that Han Yuqi and Ruyi retrieved and put it on the table for study, and order Ruyi to put the rest of the bucket away, and save it for going to Wangjiazhuang tomorrow to propose marriage to Tianji.

Next to the small porcelain bowl, a dozen small porcelain cups were placed in a row. Following Gu Yuqing's instructions, Jixiang used a white porcelain spoon that had been boiled in boiling water to scoop a spoonful of milk from the small porcelain bowl and pour it into a small porcelain cup. inside.

The sound of the liquid colliding with the porcelain was very pleasant to the ear, but at this moment, the faces of the people surrounded by the table were all solemn.

A spoonful of milk filled the small porcelain cup just enough. He put down the porcelain spoon and picked up the slender silver needle at hand.

As the needle of the silver needle sank into the milk, everyone in the seat held their breath and concentrated. Gu Yuqing squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly, her eyes staring at the silver needle for a moment, while Han Yuqi's expression was even more intense than that of Gu Yuqing. The words conveyed a bit of solemnity as dark clouds rolled over the city, and even a bit of solemnity in the farewell of a strong man.

It was obviously only half a cup of tea, but to him, it seemed as long as hundreds of years.

Finally, just when Han Yuqi could no longer hold his breath, Ji Xiang raised his hand and lifted the silver needle. Milk was hanging from the needle, and milky white liquid was dripping down drop by drop. However, the color of the silver needle was not as bright as Gu's. As Yuqing expected, she turned black and black.

Is this milk non-toxic?

Gu Yuqing shook her head inwardly, it was absolutely impossible, there must be something wrong with this milk.

The remaining members of the Miao Jiang Party tried their best to plan this situation, how could they not play tricks on the milk that was sent to the palace.

What's more, when they were at the cow farm, Miao Er said it himself. Although his words were promptly stopped by Miao Da, Gu Yuqing could deduce from the sudden stop in his voice that they must add milk to the milk. something.

Besides, the Miao witch tribe is the best at making and using poison, so their actions must be related to poison.

Staring at the colorless silver needle placed aside by Jixiang, Gu Yuqing's frown suddenly loosened, and a self-deprecating smile hangs on his mouth.

How stupid!
Why did you ignore this?

The reason why the Miao Jiang remnant party chose cow's milk among the many imperial merchants was not because there were only a few people in the palace who could use cow's milk. The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, Concubine Hui, the Emperor, and even the princes in the palace could not tell the difference. arrive.

Obviously, their target is the emperor.

If they want to do something detrimental to this dynasty, they must be very sure of it. The smaller the scope, the easier it is to succeed.

But no matter what the emperor eats, he will only eat it after the eunuch has personally tasted it.

The eunuchs who tested poisons in the palace usually used silver needles to test the poison first. After confirming that it was correct, they would take it orally and test it themselves.

If they really put poison in the milk that could be detected by a silver needle, wouldn't it mean that they wouldn't be able to pass the test just by the poison eunuch before the emperor could enjoy it?

What's more, since they had planned this situation so painstakingly, they must have made extremely careful preparations.

She ignored such a simple truth, and went on to conduct a silver needle drug test with great fanfare. She is not stupid, but what is it.

The people in Miaojiang are all masters of poison. How could they have administered poison that can be tested with just a silver needle?

After laughing at herself, Gu Yuqing ordered Jixiang to scoop out two more porcelain cups of milk, and brought one cup to Han Yuqi and the other to Huang Nanny.

Han Yuqi is the original owner of the cattle farm, so he is familiar with the taste and smell of milk, and Huang Mama, who is proficient in pharmacology, may be able to match it.

After each receiving the porcelain cup, Nanny Huang and Han Yuqi sat across from each other and started to check. However, half an hour later, they shook their heads with sad faces and found nothing. They didn't even catch any clues.

Gu Yuqing's eyes full of expectation could not help but be filled with a layer of disappointment.

She knew that there must be something wrong with the milk, but she had no clue. Uneasiness, fear, and anger were like a tidal wave, coming over her, making her feel weak.

After a long silence, he finally took a long breath and sighed quietly. Gu Yuqing adjusted her depressed mentality.

Since he can't find it himself, he can only wait for the other party to reveal his flaws.

He ordered Jixiang to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. On the Luoyang rice paper, the thick ink of the Langhao Lake pen was soaked full, and the beautiful young regular script was swayed on it. In just a moment, he wrote two notes.

One paper had very few handwritings, and the other had dense handwriting. Pointing to the two pieces of rice paper, Gu Yuqing ordered: "The one with few words will be given to Ke'er, and the one with many words will be sent to Concubine Hui. You can set off immediately. No need." To enter the palace in person, just let Wei Qi pass in at the palace gate."

Jixiang nodded and accepted the order.

Ruyi used fine sand to absorb the ink on the paper, folded it neatly, took it over Jixiang, turned around and left, but just as he took a step forward, he was stopped by Gu Yuqing again, "Tell Wei Qi, if he is free tonight, let him find an opportunity to quietly Come and see me at my house once."

Ji Xiang accepted the promise and pushed the door open.

Since he found nothing here, Gu Yuqing dismissed everyone, leaving only Ruyi serving on one side.

Today, Miao Daneng tested her in Miaojiang language and sent spies to follow her whereabouts. He will definitely test Wei Qi in the future.

Although I don't know what kind of method Miao Da will use against Wei Qi, it is always good to be prepared.

Originally, I heard Xiao Yu mention that the reason why Wei Qi was sent on duty at the palace gate was because Wei Qi knew several languages, and the palace gate was a place where most information gathered that ordinary people could not notice.

I just don't know if Wei Qi can speak Miaojiang dialect.

If it does, everything will be fine. If it doesn't, I'm afraid I'll have to find another way.

Gu Yuqing was rubbing her brows in deep thought when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the window, which was coming densely. She immediately moved her hands, turned her head and looked out the window, and her breath froze.

Ruyi, who was fiddling with the earth dragon fire, suddenly stood up with hair all over her body when she heard the sound. Almost instantly, she who was originally squatting on the ground jumped up and flew to the window. The aura exuding from her whole body was only four words: as if facing a formidable enemy. .

The plain white paper window was opened by Ruyi silently to create a tiny gap. Through the gap, she leaned forward and looked out with one bright eye.

In the courtyard where the north wind was whining and roaring, Ruyi could see clearly through the clear light of the full moon in the sky and the half-foot-long red lantern in Chinanhou Mansion. He was wearing night clothes and his movements were as agile as a shuttle. The man who was watching the cheetah in the dense forest was approaching step by step.

His steps were very much like the long-lost Lingbo Weibu.

Ruyi suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and cold sweat hit his forehead. At the same time, a row of embroidered silver needle hidden weapons hidden in the cuffs suddenly fell into his hands. Through the gap in the window, he accurately moved towards the approaching man. aim.

The silver needle glowed coldly under the candlelight.
