Chapter 649 Seeds of Doubt (4)
After a while, she let out a slight breath.

In fact, these dregs were just like her judgment.

It is true that no additional medicine was added. The medicinal materials for these decoctions were all prescribed according to her prescription.

Dongfangyu thought for a while, and looked at the pot of decocting medicine, and suddenly felt a move in his heart.

"Qiu Se, bring the medicine jar and show me."

Although Qiu Se didn't understand what she was going to do, but she knew that the Oriental language would not be indiscriminate, and she naturally had her reasons for looking at the medicine jar, so she brought the medicine jar over without hesitation.

Dongfang Yu first picked up the lid of the medicine jar, glanced left and right for a long time, then leaned closer to the tip of her nose, and sniffed for a long time. After a long while, she lowered her eyes, with suspicion in her eyes, and put the lid aside.

It started to look like a treasure hunt again, aiming and aiming at the medicine jar, looking at her appearance, wishing to put her head inside the jar, and then took a few deep breaths.

After doing these strange movements, her eyes showed a relieved expression for a moment, but this expression only flashed across her bright eyes; then there was a hint of doubt.

Qiu Se silently watched her sniffing around with the medicine jar, feeling very anxious.

The girl put the medicine pot down, sighed slightly, and said to herself suddenly: "It's strange, there is nothing wrong with the medicine dregs, and there is nothing wrong with this medicine pot. Where did that person move his hands and feet?"

She had already checked the medicine bowl containing the soup and medicine when she was in the bedroom, and there was absolutely no problem with the medicine bowl.

"Qiu Se, after you cook the medicine, do you still use some gauze to separate the scum when pouring it into the bowl?"

Qiu Se nodded and said, "Yes, Second Miss." She said, without waiting for Dongfang Yu's instructions, she turned around and took out the gauze very cleverly.

Of course, besides the piece of gauze she used when pouring the medicine, she also took out the unused gauze.

Dongfang Yu raised his eyes slightly, showing admiration to Qiu Se.

This girl is really smart and careful.

She only asked one question, and Qiuse immediately understood what she meant.

After Dongfang Yu took a look at Qiu Se, he concentrated on inspecting the gauze she brought.

After this investigation, her eyes changed slightly.

The problem really lies in the gauze.

Who would have thought that these clean and pure white gauzes contained deadly poison, and when the decoction was poured from the gauze, the poison in the gauze would then fall into the bowl, mixing with the soup without anyone knowing it drank it down.

Looking at her suddenly cold eyes, Qiu Se realized the crux of the problem for a moment.

She looked at Dongfangyu anxiously, bit her lip, and asked, "Second Miss, is there something wrong with these gauzes?"

Dongfangyu nodded, corrected his expression, and asked seriously: "Qiu Se, let me ask you, when did these gauzes come? And who is responsible?"

Qiu Se was stared at by her clear eyes, and felt a little anxious. She thought for a while, bit her lip, and said, "The gauze used every day was delivered by a special person in the morning. Of course, these gauzes are also in charge of the special person."

"Is the person in charge of these gauzes the Ming Xin you mentioned earlier?" Dongfang Yu's eyes were rarely sharp.

The sharp eyes flashed across Qiu Se's face, and she couldn't help shaking slightly.

Qiu Se held her breath, and replied, "Yes."

Dongfang Yu frowned, and his eyes were pensive, "Then does she know where you usually put the gauze?"

Qiu Se was startled, and met the girl's bright but scrutinizing eyes head-on. She frowned and answered more carefully: "No, Ming Xin probably didn't know. Usually when she brings the gauze, the servants will It was collected, and the gauze was put away after she left."

"Then on weekdays, who else will walk around this small kitchen?"

Qiu Se shook her head and said, "No, everyone knows that this small kitchen is used to decoct medicine for the Queen Mother, and no one will come here for trouble."

Dongfangyu raised his eyebrows, but he couldn't tell that the people in Luoxia Palace were quite knowledgeable, and everyone knew how to avoid suspicion.

Ming Xin is responsible for the gauze used to separate the medicinal residues from washing to drying to collecting and then sending them here.

In this way, the possibility of Ming Xin tampering with these gauze is extremely high.

Dongfang Yu rolled his eyes and looked at Qiu Se with some menace.

Although she had evidence to confirm that Qiu Se was not the one who poisoned the Queen Mother, the necessary beatings could not be missed.

As far as she knows, Qiu Se and Ming Xin have a relatively good relationship. It is hard to guarantee that Qiu Se will not hide some information in order to protect Ming Xin.

Dongfangyu nodded appreciatively after hearing what she said.

At least this Qiu Se knows how to guard against others, but she is a cautious girl.

"You call Mingxin to the main hall now, and tell her that I have something to ask her. But you don't need to mention the gauze to her, understand?" Dongfang Yu pondered for a while, put the gauze into his arms, turned and walked out .

When returning to the Queen Mother's bedroom, Dongfang Yu couldn't help being startled as soon as he stepped into the door.

Her gaze first condensed on the slanting shadow on the ground, just looking at the shadow on the ground, she felt the majesty and domineering of an emperor; when she looked up, she saw the emperor's bright yellow dragon robe, which was very eye-catching behind the curtain. exposed a corner.

She walked in Shi Shiran, bowed her head, and saluted: "My daughter bows to Your Majesty."

"Xiao Yu, how did you find out?" The emperor slightly raised his hand, signaling her not to be too polite, and fixed his eyes on her flowing eyes, and he really got to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

Dongfang Yu was startled, then turned his eyes, the corners of his eyes glanced at Aunt Shen, who nodded slightly to her.

She lowered her head, raised her eyes, met the emperor's eager gaze calmly, and replied: "Your Majesty, the root of the disaster has been found, but the source has not yet been found."

The emperor wanted to ask again.

At this time, Qiu Se walked in, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Second Miss, Mingxin has been sent, and now I'm waiting outside, you see?"

"Let her in." Dongfang Yu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a bit of coldness.

Qiu Se turned and went out; Ming Xin walked in quickly.

Dongfang Yu stood where he was, and looked at Ming Xin calmly.

Her demeanor was quite satisfactory; however, she kept lowering her eyes, and she didn't know whether it was because of guilt or timidity, and she never dared to raise her head.

Mingxin naturally had to salute the emperor, and she could only get up after the emperor signaled.

However, the emperor received hints from the oriental language and did not let Ming feel up.

Ming Xin kept kneeling on the ground, and didn't listen to anyone in the hall who spoke; she was kneeling, facing the scrutinizing gazes from above, her back was sweating unknowingly, and her face was under the oppressive gaze of deep silence, Every inch became white.
