Pregnant concubine divorces her husband: Concubine Ai withdraws the divorce letter

Chapter 61

"Dong Lan, I beg you, give me another five minutes. Just five... minutes." Chu Li snored softly after speaking.

Dong Lan originally wanted to ask, what is 5 minutes, seeing her appearance... forget it.

The sickness of the servants is getting worse and worse, with diarrhea and vomiting, and there are a few high fever comatose, only a few masters who got up late and the prince who went to the early court did not get sick, so no one did the work of the servants, and they had to In turn, there are people serving these sick servants, and the situation becomes serious.

Recruiting people now, but they can't get started for a while. Besides, the palace recruits people, and the review cannot be completed in a day or two. The identity must be checked clearly, and some people can't take the opportunity to sneak in, especially here. At the very moment, if there is more chaos, the situation will be difficult to control.

Finally the doctor's diagnosis came out, saying it was poisoning.The poison in the rice seems to be begonia powder, and there is also an ingredient of deadly grass in it.

Because of the prompt diagnosis and treatment, and people who know it well, someone induced vomiting in advance. The doctor said that there should be no fatalities, but the toxin must be completely excreted. Wait for a few days. During these days, the patient cannot move and can only stay Rest in bed.

As soon as they heard that it was poisoning, everyone began to recall and look for clues.

There was such a big commotion last night that everyone thought of Chuli. She came to the kitchen last night and heard that she ate something disgusting.

The cook was very sure that, except for the princess, no one had approached the important area of ​​the kitchen last night.

It was found that the poisonous powder was dropped in the water.

Fortunately, in the morning, the cook was disturbed by the raccoon, got up late, and cooked rice instead of porridge, which was one of the reasons why everyone was able to survive.

The cook was terribly frightened last night, so when the princess was mentioned, she got a little excited.Then he said that the princess was fine after having a big meal in the kitchen last night, so it could only be her, knowing that the water is poisonous, it could not be someone else.

As soon as they discussed it, they directly convicted Chu Li.

And Chu Li, who was still lying in bed, didn't know anything at all. It wasn't until Dong Lan woke her up again and told her that those people were poisoned, that she felt that something was not good.

Jumped out of bed all of a sudden.

Whenever poison is mentioned, Chu Li is sensitive, because diarrhea cannot kill people, but if it is poison, it can kill people, and if there are dead people, there will be murderers.

How could she sleep at the thought that she might be in the same courtyard as the murderer?
Busily got up and followed Dong Lan to the servant's room.

Once inside, it smelled bad.

The maids were lying on the bed humming, the doctor gave one pulse and another, and kept writing something on the paper, as if adjusting the prescription.

There are only two little maids left busy, one is from Fei Ningxiang's room, the other is Donglan, she came with Chuli, when she saw the situation, she went to her immediately without even thinking about it. Helped before.

The two of them were spared because their master got up late and didn't dare to leave.

Chu Li saw Fei Ningxiang in the corner. She was boiling medicine, holding a fan, sitting on a small wooden pier, wiping sweat while fanning the fire.

Seeing Chuli come in, the chattering maids looked at her a little strangely.

Chu Li inquired about the doctor, and then heaved a sigh of relief, no one would be killed, that's good.Begonia powder, she knows, what is that deadly weed?
She thought as she checked the ward.

"I'll help you." Seeing a little maid struggling to drink water, Chu Li hurried forward to help her hold the bowl, but she didn't want the maid to hide, and said politely: "Princess, I dare not trouble you."

Chu Li smiled: "I don't usually have such a status, let alone you are sick, so don't be polite."

"Your servant is not polite, I really dare not bother the princess." Although the maid spoke politely, her eyes were cold.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Li couldn't believe it.

Chuli found that other people were the same, were they blaming themselves?

"Well, last night I was tired and went to bed late, so I didn't get up. Dong Lan told me that I thought it was just a bad stomach, but I didn't expect someone to poison me." Chu Li explained: "So now I come Help, don't blame me."

She thought people were blaming her for not coming sooner.

"Princess, we were just talking about it. The palace is heavily guarded, and the kitchen is a hidden place. If no one guides you, you can't find it. Therefore, we suspect that it is not a foreign thief. So when you think of the thief who harmed us, whose I'm not in a good mood, if you offend the concubine, you have to be generous." The cook lay on the bed and said weakly.

"You're welcome. To me, the word offend is not used. It's just that you mentioned the poisoner and said he came from the mansion. I think it makes sense." Chu Li was thoughtful.

"We were just discussing, who is suspected, but we can't analyze anything." Another maid said.

Chu Li suddenly said: "When I went to the kitchen last night, a man in black came out. Could it be her poison?"

"Sister, have you seen that person's appearance clearly?" Fei Ningxiang came to Chuli's side at some point, with a little gray marks on her face and dirty hands. She was wearing plain clothes and looked like a competent woman. housewife.

All the maids were stunned when they heard this question.

Chu Li shook his head: "I'm looking at the back."

"That means you didn't see clearly, sister?" Fei Ningxiang continued to ask.

Chu Li nodded: "But I can be sure that it is a woman."

There was no expression on the faces of the people, as if they knew it was a woman, Chu Li felt very strange, at this time Fei Ningxiang was uncharacteristically, instead of confronting her, she turned around and went back to the corner to look at the medicine pot.

Like a very dedicated volunteer.

Chu Li felt depressed: "You all gave an expression, it seemed like you didn't listen after listening. Has anyone else seen the man in black after that?"

"Princess, we don't want to hear the story now. We just want to know who that person is. Otherwise, we have to be worried all the time. If we didn't kill us this time, will it happen again? Hey, we servants don't know what to do." What is wrong, but our lives are lost in a daze, isn't our life worthless at all?" said a little girl.

"Everyone is equal, everyone has one life, why do you say that your life is worthless, but did you think I was making up a story for you just now? I saw it with my own eyes. In the middle of the night last night, I just As soon as I jumped into the window, that person jumped out from another window. If I knew she was playing tricks at that time, I wouldn't have looked for something to eat, and just followed her." Chu Li felt a little regretful.

Who is that woman and why is she doing this?If he knew that she would harm so many people, he would arrest her no matter what he said.

Her target will definitely not be these servants.

Is it the prince?Or someone else?
The atmosphere in the room was dull.

"Didn't the princess have any doubts about the man in black at that time?" the cook asked.

"I thought it was some starving ghost who came to the kitchen to look for food." Chu Li smiled: "Besides, I was starving at the time, so I didn't think so much."

"But everyone in the mansion knows that after dinner, there is no food in the kitchen, only in the storeroom." Someone retorted: "Don't the princess know this?"

Chu Li snorted: "No wonder I didn't find it yesterday. I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't go there to find food."

As soon as she said this, everyone was silent and looked at her, but the message revealed in their eyes was: [-] utter disbelief.

A mistress who has been married to the palace for several years doesn't even know the rules of her family, who would believe it.

This just showed another thing, she was making excuses to go to the kitchen.
