famous concubine

Chapter 423 The punishment of cutting alive (5)
When Xia Xue passed by the two of them, she stopped on purpose and asked them a few words in a low voice, then she quickened her pace and followed Dongfangyu inside.

Dongfangyu knew that all the decorations in Lvyiyuan were smashed by the young master Geng Qi, so when he entered the door and saw the messy courtyard, his expression did not fluctuate, except for a slight raised eyebrow, his eyes became brighter, and he smiled. In addition to becoming more brilliant and charming, there is no hint of surprise or distress from her stunning face.

But Rouge's ability to bear is obviously several grades worse than her master's. When she saw those valuable things all shattered into pieces all over the place, she opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth wide. The shock turned into the desire to cry but no tears in the gradual seeing.

As if she was the owner of Lvyiyuan; as if what Geng Qi messed up was her property, the distressed expression on that round face remained frozen.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yu couldn't help reaching out and pinching her cheek, and said with a soft laugh: "Rouge, don't feel bad, as the saying goes, if the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come; just wait, someone will obediently treat these things." It was paid to us, so now, give me something to do, laugh, show generosity, and smile happily!"

"Miss..." Rouge's round eyes still couldn't return to normal in an instant, and the voice of gnashing her teeth contained a deep cry. "These are all money... But now, it's worthless!"

Seeing this, Xia Xue quickly comforted her in a low voice: "Ranzhi, what do you think of the financial resources of the Geng Mansion?"

Rouge blinked, looked at the girl with a cold face in a daze, and repeated blankly: "What about the financial resources of the Geng family?"

Xia Xue shook her head and decided not to discuss this matter with her right now.

Just as their master and servant were whispering, the group led by Gu Feng had already reached the inner courtyard where Dongfang Yu lived.

Guan Zheng's purpose was to search for what they wanted from here, so when he saw all the medicinal materials that were drying in the courtyard were spilled on the ground, his eyes couldn't help but sparkle for a moment, and he couldn't wait to order the doctors with him to check those things. herbs.

And Dongfangyu just stood beside them lazily with folded arms, watching them busy searching, with some star-like lights flashing occasionally in their eyes.

"Doctor, how is it?" Although Guan Zheng didn't understand medicine, he still wanted to contribute to this matter, so he was very active in sifting through the chaos in the courtyard. Standing still, sniffing the scent with a suspicious look, he trotted over immediately and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Dongfang Yu's brows moved slightly, and she blinked her eyes and looked over, and saw that the doctor was holding a handful of crushed medicinal materials in his hand, and the types of those medicinal materials... She immediately lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slowly drew out A thought-provoking smile came.

"These... medicinal materials, if prepared in a certain proportion according to their respective medicinal properties and efficacy, can just make a seven-step poison." The doctor pondered for a while, then raised his eyes to look at the calm and calm young girl. , and then slowly tell the whole story.

As soon as the doctor's words fell, Guan Zheng's eyes immediately showed a fierce look, he couldn't wait to sneer, squinted at the girl, and said hehe: "Hehe...Second miss, please explain why there are these things that can be made in your yard. The medicinal materials for pouring poison in seven steps?"

When Gu Feng heard the doctor's words, his heart shrank suddenly. When Guan Zheng questioned the girl, he didn't make a sound, but looked at the girl calmly, he wanted to know how she would answer this matter.

"Oh, it's rare that your lord is interested in increasing your knowledge of pharmacology today, so why don't I make a fool of myself and teach you a class." The girl looked over with a smile, and her bright eyes first looked at the calm faces of his wife and Leng Lanruo It turned up and down, and then landed on Guan Zheng's face.

Slowly said: "This seven-step poison does need to use seven kinds of medicinal materials: Tianxianzi, Shengcaowu, Shengpinellia, Croton, Shengtiannanxing, Shengkansui, and Naoyanghua, but do you know that my lord? You know, they are developed separately or not at the same time with the seven kinds of medicinal materials. The effects of them are not only vastly different. If you suspect that what I said is false, the doctor is here, you can ask He, I was right."

Under Guan Zheng's skeptical gaze, the doctor immediately nodded and said, "Master Guan, what the second lady said is right, this medicinal material has one or two flavors, or if it is used in different diseases, their effects will be quite different. ;Although these seven herbs can be prepared in a certain proportion to make a seven-step poison, but this does not explain any problems."

"Besides, the Second Miss is a medical practitioner herself. From the many medicinal materials drying in her yard, it can be seen that the Second Miss must have a profound knowledge of medical science. It is not surprising that these medicinal materials appear here."

When Guan Zheng heard this, his originally smug face suddenly darkened, which seemed to be a bit different from his expectations; however, it didn't matter, as long as there were these medicinal materials, Dongfangyu could not escape the suspicion.

"Second Miss, although I can't convict you based on the medicinal materials that have not been prepared into the seven-step poison, Mrs. Ye has been protecting you, and now these medicinal materials have been found in your yard. If you still want to quibble, claiming that you and Mrs. Ye did not secretly contact and plan, and insisting that you did not instigate Mrs. Ye to poison His Highness the Sixth Highness and Princess Youlan, do you think anyone will believe it?"

"Strange, has it become popular to talk big things these days?" Dongfang Yu was still smiling and didn't feel disobedient at Guan Zheng's almost domineering attitude. She looked at the smug Guan Zheng and said with a smile: "Say No one actually believed it.”

"Second Miss, it's useless for you to pretend to divert other people's attention." Guan Zheng glanced at the corner of his eyes, and a bit of ferocity flashed in his eyes for a moment, "Now the evidence is in front of you, and you will provide the poison and plan secretly. The fact of instigating Ye Shi to poison His Highness the Sixth Highness and Princess Youlan is also in front of you, if you are sensible, you should obediently confess this crime!"

"Admit it?" Dongfang Yu sneered, his stunning face still showing his usual calmness and composure, "What did Mr. Guan tell me to admit? Firstly, Mrs. Ye did not confess that I was the mastermind of poisoning them; secondly, these medicinal materials..."

She glanced slightly at the medicinal herbs in the doctor's hand out of the corner of her eyes, and of course she was absolutely sure that there were no these seven things in her yard.

"They are not the finished seven-step poison, and there is no qualitative evidence."

Just when Dongfang Yu casually retorted Guan Zheng, suddenly a famous official rushed in, and he went straight to Gu Feng's side, whispering something urgently and quickly in Gu Feng's ear.

After a while, Gu Feng frowned, but his eyes showed forbearance, he said something in a low voice, and then waved his hand to let the tolerance back out.Guan Zheng looked at Gu Feng who was unmoved, and there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his eyes.But then he gave a low snort of contempt and indifference.
