Chapter 436 Roots
"Reporting to the princess, the water in the corpse seemed to be forcibly drained. In just one night, when the lowly officials went to see it again, the corpse of the Wang family looked like a mummy!"

"This is not the most puzzling thing, the most unexpected thing is that Wang's bones are broken when touched!"

"Other than that, what else did you find strange?" Ning Erlan's whole face sank after hearing these words. If it was really what they said, then she already knew that Wang's illness had changed from "illness" to cause of death.

"No other abnormalities were found."

"My concubine understands, you all step down." Ning Erlan waved her hand, making all the staff back down.

Ning Erlan stood up, went to the room she used to study medicine, and took out a small red porcelain bottle from a long row of drawers.Then he poured a pill out of it, separated some of the pills, melted them in the water, and fed them to the white mice in the house.

After Qiaoqiao was brought back to Prince Ling's Mansion, she was placed in a relatively remote small courtyard in Prince Ling's Mansion.It is quite a distance from the main courtyard.

However, it is very close to the herb garden that Ning Erlan had planted a few months ago.

Qiaoqiao stayed in Prince Ling's Mansion for three days, and food was delivered to her yard every day, so there was no need to go to her to do anything.

After lunch that day, Qiaoqiao walked out of the house.The sun is shining brightly today. Although the weather has turned cold, it is still very warm when the sun shines at noon.

Qiaoqiao walked out of the house and walked towards the herb garden.

The herb garden is actually very large, and part of it has already extended beyond the palace.At that time, in order to build this medicinal herb garden for Ning Erlan, Wei Lingxiao asked people to buy all the open space behind Prince Ling's Mansion, and then expanded the mansion.

With such care, it can be seen that King Ling's love for the concubine is not just bragging.

As soon as Qiaoqiao walked to the herb garden, she saw a slender figure standing in the garden full of herbs.He was wearing a blue long gown with wide sleeves, which made him look like a green disc flying in the air with the breeze, so elegant and elegant.

Qiaoqiao can only see his back clearly, he is lowering his head and doesn't know what he is doing, just the back view makes people feel that he is very serious.

A shy smile appeared on Qiaoqiao's lips, and she walked slowly towards that figure. "Qiaoqiao sees benefactor."

When he came to the figure, that is, standing in front of Wen Yuan in the garden, he bowed down skillfully.

She deliberately sideways her cheeks, letting her most beautiful side appear in Wen Yuan's bright eyes at the first time.Qiaoqiao has always been very confident about her appearance, so she can guarantee that Wen Yuan will be stunned.

What she didn't expect was that she didn't receive Wen Yuan's response for a long time.She sniffed and felt a faint fragrance wafting in the air, which was quite familiar to her.

That's... the taste of a little oily chicken!
Qiaoqiao raised her head in a daze, and immediately saw Wen Yuan who was seriously eating the chicken!

Wen Yuan's expression was very serious, he was holding a small chicken in his hand, as if he would not be disturbed by outsiders at all.Even if Qiaoqiao had already come in front of him, she still acted as if she didn't see him at all.

"Engong..." Qiaoqiao was a little unwilling, she didn't believe it, could it be that her appearance couldn't be compared with this little fat chicken that can only wrap its belly?If there is a mirror now, she really wants to take a picture, is it because her complexion is not good, she didn't catch Wen Yuan's eye at first sight!
In Wen Yuan's eyes, there was only the little oily chicken. After eating the last bite, he threw the remaining chicken racks into the basket, and then washed and wiped his hands with the water in the basin beside him.Finally, turn around and leave...

The movements are smooth and flowing, without any procrastination at all, and completely ignore the existence of Qiaoqiao...

"Benefactor, please stay." Qiaoqiao originally wanted Wen Yuan to discover her, but looking at the situation, if she didn't speak again, she would probably be ignored to the end.As a last resort, Wen Yuan was stopped again.

This time, Wen Yuan didn't lose his hearing, and stopped his steps, looking back at Qiaoqiao. "Hey, why are you here?" Wen Yuan blinked his big clear eyes, looked at Qiao Qiao with some doubts and asked.

The smile on Qiaoqiao's face froze instantly. "Engong, Qiaoqiao came over just now, but Engong didn't see Qiaoqiao."

"Oh, then I'll go back, you can play by yourself." Wen Yuan replied indifferently, turned around and continued to walk back.

"Engong likes to eat small oily chicken very much, and Qiaoqiao can also make it. Before, Qiaoqiao planned to make small oily chicken to thank Engong. Next time Qiaoqiao makes small oily chicken, you can take it to Engong to taste Is it?" After finishing speaking, Qiaoqiao looked at him expectantly.

"Oh, if you don't tell me about it, I'll forget about it. Since you know how to do it, then you can do it. If it's not delicious, you can just finish it yourself."

"Yes, Qiaoqiao will definitely not disappoint my benefactor." With Wenyuan's consent, Qiaoqiao is happy to go back to be a little fried chicken.

"Uncle, why are you here? I sent someone to look for you just now." Wen Yuan came out of the herb garden just now, and met Ning Erlan who was walking towards him.

Wang's autopsy results have come out, and she is now waiting for the results of her experiment.So taking advantage of this time, she wanted to visit her well-kept herb garden.

"You have a lot of treasures here, I'll get some back." Wen Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with him going in to pick herbs without Ning Erlan's permission.Anyway, he had been doing this before Ning Erlan came back.

"What kind of medicine does uncle want? Or what kind of poison do you want to make?" Wen Yuan's field of expertise is different from hers. It is undeniable that she still has a lot to learn from Wen Yuan when it comes to poison Gu.

"Raise a baby!" Wen Yuan's spirits perked up when he mentioned his second-best field.

"Uncle, you have to take care of those treasures, don't accidentally get them out and harm others." Ning Erlan gave Wen Yuan a sideways look.She heard that Wen Yuan accidentally let the poisonous Gu worm crawl out.Fortunately, he sprinkled medicinal powder around the room where the Gu was raised, and the insects would be scared when they smelled it, and they all shrank back, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It was an accident. I won't tell you any more, I'm going to find Zhirou, really, she's not gentle at all." He even talked about his embarrassment on the spot!
It was night, Ning Erlan came to her research room.It was found that the mice in the cage had lost more than a circle of weight as if they had been drained suddenly.

It looked listless, completely different from the previous vigor and vitality.

She took a small mouse out of the cage, and with a pair of tweezers, she tapped lightly on the mouse's ribs.

Only a faint sound of "squeak" was heard.She reached out and touched it.Her light touch just now broke at least three of its ribs.

Although the bones of mice are not as hard as those of humans, it is unlikely that they will break with a light touch.

She looked at the mouse again, and it was dead.

She put the mouse's body on the dissecting table, and cut open the mouse's stomach...

By the time I came out of the house, it was almost ten o'clock.

Stretching her stiff limbs, Ning Erlan returned to the dormitory.

"Why are you still there so late? I was just about to send Xinyue to find you." Wei Lingxiao came back from the study, but he didn't see Ning Erlan's figure. After asking, he found out that she went to the room where she was doing research.

She was still busy at such a late hour, which made him feel distressed.

"It's okay, I'm not going to do anything, just watch the time pass."

"Don't do this again in the future." Wei Lingxiao helped her remove the hairpin from her head, and someone brought hot water for her to take a bath.

"You didn't take a bath either, did you?" Ning Erlan saw that Wei Lingxiao's clothes hadn't changed, so he knew that he must not have been back for long.

"Lan'er's words, I can understand that Lan'er wants to take a bath with me?" Wei Lingxiao smiled wickedly, and hugged Ning Erlan from behind.

"Don't mess around, it's getting late, go wash up and sleep." Ning Erlan glared at him angrily.Quickly turned around and got out of his arms, and when he came back to his senses, he had already walked to the bathroom.

noon the next day.

"Did she die of poisoning?" In the study, Wei Lingxiao frowned as he looked at the porcelain bottle Ning Erlan showed him.

Ning Erlan nodded. "That's right, I had some doubts after Wu's autopsy, but I can confirm it after personally verifying it on white mice."

"This poison can't be found out?" He believed in Ning Erlan's medical skills, but Ning Erlan didn't see that Wang was poisoned at the beginning.In other words, Mrs. Wang didn't show any signs of poisoning at all.

"Remember when we were on that unnamed island?"

Wei Lingxiao nodded, no one can forget that experience.

"There are a lot of strange plants on that island. I picked some and brought them back because I was curious. Who knows, after researching, I found that each of the plants brought back was full of poison. Later, I used Those extracted toxins are made into the poison in your hands." In fact, she made several kinds, but the one in this porcelain bottle is the most powerful one.

"We are not sure how many people know about Unnamed Island, but there are not many people in this world who can make this poison."

"No one has touched this bottle of poison?" After the two children were brought back, the guards in the entire Prince Ling's Mansion became more stringent, and it was impossible for ordinary people to easily enter and leave the Palace of King Ling.

"I didn't make a detailed count after I made it, so I'm not sure if someone touched it." This is also what she's not sure about. If someone really took the poison she made to harm someone, then that person must He has a very good understanding of the situation of Prince Ling's Mansion.Otherwise, how would they know which bottle is the deadly poison?
"Is it rumored among the common people that I, the concubine, has cured someone to death? And arranged a hit-and-miss person next to the common people to harm the common people?"
