famous concubine

Chapter 400 The source of poison is deep (2)
Dongfang Xiu hurriedly sent someone to call for a doctor, and then asked someone to report Geng Qi's accidental poisoning to Geng Yuan and his wife.

There was a rush here, which naturally alarmed everyone at the chair seat at the table where the old lady was.

It just so happened that at the birthday banquet there was a doctor who usually sees the Dongfang Mansion, so it was quickly determined whether Geng Qi's convulsion fell to the ground was an accidental illness or accidental poisoning.

Before the doctor came to a conclusion, Leng Lanruo's straight voice wafted into everyone's ears: "Oh, I heard that the second lady is not very skilled in medicine, and was praised by His Majesty, and was conferred the title of first-class medical saint." , Why does the second miss ignore this third uncle now?"

"Princess Youlan County." Dongfang Yu looked over slowly, his flowing eyes focused on Leng Lanruo's excellent face, and retorted with a slight smile: "The so-called care is chaos; third uncle is my sister's husband-in-law, as a relative, I, Naturally, he is very concerned about his situation.”

"But as a doctor, the most taboo is restlessness, because when the mind is disturbed, it is easy to misdiagnose. You know, seeing a doctor is not about eating. It doesn't matter if you eat more or less. If the diagnosis and treatment are not right, it's a big deal. It's about people's lives!"

"Furthermore, I know that at today's birthday banquet, there are still doctors with decades of experience in medicine, how can I take the risk of delaying the third son-in-law and force myself to show off!"

When she said such a witty remark, everyone present immediately looked at her differently; according to her, she refused to see Geng Qi because she cared too much about Geng Qi as a relative, so she refused to act; and her reason was even more sufficient. There are doctors with full medical experience.

Leng Lanruo was silenced by her rebuttal, and her face changed slightly. In the eyes of others, her lukewarm questioning just now turned into a deliberate denigration of Oriental language.

The eyes of everyone looking at her were immediately coated with an unbearable color for her.

Leng Lanruo still maintains her perfect and elegant smile on her face, no one knows that at this moment, her fingers hanging under her sleeves have sunk deeply into the flesh.

"Doctor, I pray how is he doing?" Mrs. Geng focused all her attention on the doctor, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the undercurrents among other people.

"Mrs. Geng." The doctor looked at her, hesitant to speak, and after a while, he said slowly, "Your son was indeed accidentally poisoned. Although the poisonous gas has begun to attack his heart, fortunately, he was rescued in time. As long as he can survive During the most difficult first two hours, you can live without any worries."

"Prayer..." Madam Geng rolled her eyes when she heard this, and then passed out.

The doctor asked Geng Qi to be moved into the room to lie down, and Geng Yuan waited anxiously beside him.

As for the birthday banquet, the guests naturally rushed to the open space in front of the house, waiting for the handling of Dongfang Mansion.

Because this birthday banquet has the Queen's order, even Jing Zhaoyin Gufeng, who is in charge of the safety of the imperial capital, was also present, and Guan Zheng, who was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, was also present.

As a third-rank official of the Ministry of Officials, Geng Yuan is naturally very familiar with them. After hearing that Geng Qi was accidentally poisoned, Geng Yuan immediately asked Gu Feng to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Prince Fengluo turned his eyes to the group of female relatives lightly, his deep eyes were full of treacherous waves, and said: "Since Master Gu is here, the matter of Geng Qi's poisoning will be left to Master Gu to deal with it."

With the crown prince's consent, Gu Feng has to handle this matter seriously, whether he wants to or not.

In view of the fact that Geng Qi was poisoned suddenly after the banquet, the first suspected poisoner that Gu Feng had to thoroughly investigate was the person who was with Geng Qi at the banquet.

Those seated with Geng Qi were: Dongfang Yu, Duan Xiling, Leng Lanruo, Dongfang Ni, Dongfang Xiu, Ji Sulian, Bai Nihong, including Geng Qi, exactly eight people.

After Gu Feng gathered the seven of them at the scene, he said with a sullen face, "I want to know for sure, did the seven of you stay at the scene after Young Master Geng was poisoned and fell to the ground, and you didn't go to other places, right? ?”

Everyone was silent for a while, because they were all in a mess at the time, and who would pay attention to whether anyone left the scene.

Leng Lanruo kept her identity, and after sweeping the crowd lightly, she said slowly: "My lord, I just sat in my seat and looked at everyone, I can tell my lord with certainty that after the poisoning of young master Geng, the seven of us really did not One person left the scene."

Dongfang Yu's brows moved slightly, showing a smile that was not a smile, looked at Leng Lanruo with a determined expression, and said leisurely: "No one at our table left; but the maid who was standing next to me at that time may not be sure, I I remember that Chunliu left because he asked a doctor; and Huaye also left the scene because he reported the matter to Lord Geng."

Hearing this, Gu Feng couldn't help frowning, and asked again: "Then, does Second Miss remember that when the two of them left the scene, did they have any close physical contact with any of you?"

The girl lowered her eyes, pondered for a while, and then smiled slightly: "Oh, at that time, although everyone was in a panic, but because the two of them stood far away, I remember that the third sister only gave them verbal instructions, and did not see the two of them talking with each other. Any of us have been in close contact."

Hearing this, Gu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good!" Without close contact, if the person who poisoned was indeed one of them, then the poison is naturally still hidden in the murderer's body, and there is no chance to bring it to him. Destroy elsewhere.

"For the sake of fairness, I need everyone's cooperation to go in and search one by one to determine whether the poison was cast by one of you."

"Body search?" Leng Lanruo was the first to stand up and strongly objected, "Master Gu, I disagree with this matter. As for suspicion, we are all suspected, but..."

She turned her eyes coldly, and then she settled on the stunning girl who was so graceful, calm and smiling all the time, "I remember the situation at that time, after the second Miss Dongfang took the plate of pearls and emeralds, Mr. He snatched the plate of hors d'oeuvres, and after that, he was poisoned and collapsed."

When Duan Xiling heard this, he clearly aimed at the oriental language. He couldn't help but frowned, and retorted: "Princess Youlan's words are wrong. There is indeed a sequence in carrying the vegetables, but who knows what the poison is? Who did it? It’s only a matter of time before the vegetables are taken. Master Gu, if you want to prove your innocence or catch the murderer, you will naturally have to search everyone.”

When Leng Lanruo saw it, her eyes drooped, and a gleam of coldness flashed across her eyes.

"Master Gu, it's better for everyone to vote on this matter. See if there are more people in favor of the body search or not?"

"Master Gu, according to me, only those with a guilty conscience would use some kind of excuse to evade the body search." As soon as Leng Lanruo finished speaking, Dongfangyu answered the sentence with a faint smile.

Gu Feng looked at the faces of the two of them, pondered for a while, and said, "For the sake of fairness, everyone must be body-searched. Princess Youlan, please cooperate."
