Bai Song hesitated a little, thinking that this extremely intelligent lady did have sharper insights than himself sometimes.
Maybe you can actually find something.
So Bai Song explained some details of the case one by one. When Princess Mingzhu heard that the livers of all the corpses were broken after a day, and Zhu You guessed that it was related to ricin, Princess Mingzhu secretly glanced around her. little maid.
The little maid frowned. She was originally a little loli and looked cute, but because of this frown, she became a little weird.
Bai Song lay leisurely and didn't care at all. He just reminded her seriously after seeing the little Loli: "You are young, but you have a sad face. Doesn't your master treat you well? "
When the little maid heard this, she immediately calmed down her expression and said nothing.
Princess Mingzhu saw this and said with a smile: "My husband is telling lies. If I treat anyone wrong, I would not treat the maid who has been dependent on me since childhood wrong."
"What's her name?" Zhu You asked when he saw that this little loli was cute and fair.
"Master, I'm asking you something, what's your name?"
The little maid was stunned for a moment, and then said: "To tell the master, my name is Xiaoqing."
"Xiao Qing...could it be possible that there is a sister named Bai Suzhen?"
Bai Song complained casually, but the two people in front of him didn't understand.
Then Bai Song stretched out his hand and said, "Come here and let me touch it."
Xiao Qing frowned again, reluctantly moved closer, stretched out a small hand and placed it on Bai Song's outstretched palm.
Zhu You squeezed his little hand, which was tender and boneless. This was probably how the little loli felt.
Bai Song often bullied the little maids in the house, and the ladies were not surprised. Fortunately, Bai Song always took advantage of her and touched her casually, but never made any excessive moves.
Princess Mingzhu watched from the side and didn't care. Instead, she asked: "Husband, why don't you let Xiao Qing massage your body? Xiao Qing's massage techniques are very good."
"Such a weak little girl, will her hands be weak?"
"Xiaoqing is so energetic, I'm afraid my husband won't be able to bear it."
Princess Mingzhu smiled slyly, stepped aside, and asked Xiaoqing to come to Bai Song's pillow.
Xiaoqing moved his hands and feet, and then squeezed his little fists. The joints of his originally weak and boneless hands made a clicking sound.
Bai Song felt that something was not right when he heard the sound, but the other party had already taken advantage of it, and within a moment, screams like a pig being killed were heard in the hut.
The little girl's photo shows her acupuncture points very accurately, and her hands are really strong, but it also shows that her technique is good.
After the pain was over, only comfort remained. I don't know how long it took, but Bai Song fell into a deep sleep.
…
"How's it going? Do you feel a little panicked?"
After leaving the room, Princess Mingzhu immediately asked Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing was wearing a lolita face, but her frown was gloomy. She walked behind Princess Mingzhu and said in a deep voice: "I really can't think of how he thought of castor beans. If the whole city searches for castor beans, It is indeed possible that he can trace some clues about his sales."
"I have told you a long time ago that you must not take any chances with your husband. I know what you are thinking. When your husband killed hundreds of people from your Holy Lotus Sect, you wanted to retaliate for what happened back then. The explanation is just to prove that you are better at using poison than your husband. But you don’t need to do anything extra. You mixed castor beans in the poison, which became the main reason for revealing your secret. Tell me about you, and you still claim to be an old man. Jianghu, no wonder I was defeated by my husband before."
Xiaoqing was a little unconvinced, but the fact was that she couldn't refute it.
Princess Mingzhu continued: "Fortunately, we knew the news in advance and filled in the omissions ourselves."
"Yes!" Xiao Qing nodded, half-kneeling on the ground humbly, and then asked after getting up, "Your Highness, we agreed before that as long as there is a chance, you will let me get close to Bai Song, and now is a good time. "
"I said that I can share my husband with you, but when will it be my final say? You didn't do well today and you still want me to reward you? Isn't it a bit inappropriate? Besides, don't think that I don't know why you are close to your husband. , I just want to borrow your husband's true energy to help you practice, but my husband is not your tool. Only when one day I can feel your true feelings for your husband will I fulfill my promise."
Xiaoqing frowned again. Do you want her to really like Bai Song?
is it possible?
"Don't look sad all day long." Princess Mingzhu reminded, "With your husband's temperament, you won't like such a girl. You said you wanted to start over, so try to forget your past identity. Senior Qingyi said, with your current For internal injuries, you must have the true energy of Yang or Yin in the world to suppress the poison in your body, and the only person in this world who can have such skill is my husband. Take advantage of the time when your poison does not attack to get a husband. Otherwise, when the poison takes hold, your husband will not be willing to save you, even if I beg you, it will have no effect."
Xiao Qing subconsciously held down her right arm and opened her sleeve. You could clearly see a piece of cyan scales embedded in the skin on Xiao Qing's arm, which looked very strange.
The two said nothing more, and Xiaoqing silently left the palace from the backyard.
…
There has been no progress in the bloody incident in Yingxiongzhuang. The Ministry of Punishment and the Secret Intelligence Division secretly investigated and encountered another case. Some pharmacy owners in Chang'an City disappeared mysteriously, and some drug stores suddenly closed and there was no news.
There are also some pharmacies where sales of castor beans suddenly surged. This rarely used drug seems to have become a new regular in various pharmacies.
Overall, there has been no progress in investigating the source of ricin.
The news reached the palace, which made Li Shimin faintly dissatisfied. There was only one reason for this situation, that is, someone had been paying attention to the court's movements. Before the court's investigation began, someone had secretly arranged it.
During the early morning court, Wei Zheng suddenly advised: "There may be a mysterious force in Chang'an City that is unknown to the imperial court, otherwise it would be impossible for the other party to know every move of the imperial court. If you want to investigate the affairs of Yingxiongzhuang clearly, I think it is necessary Priority should be given to uncovering the mysterious force hiding in Chang’an City.”
"Master Wei, don't make alarmist statements without any evidence. Is there any mysterious force under the emperor's feet?" Zhang Liang said.
In fact, everyone knows that there are no mysterious forces in Chang'an at all, but there are forces, and each family has its own forces, which are intertwined and the relationship is very complicated.
But among all the forces, the one that can pose a threat to Mi Zhaosi is probably the one belonging to the Beiding Palace.
This is not a secret, Li Shimin has known it for a long time.
But so far, no one knows the full picture of the force belonging to the Beiding Palace.
What everyone sees is the tip of the iceberg. As the emperor trusts Beiding Palace more and more, this force makes all the civil and military officials in the dynasty feel uneasy and threatened.
Taking this opportunity, Wei Zheng brought the matter to light, hoping to use the emperor's power to bring this force to the surface, so that the civil and military officials in the dynasty could clearly see how big a threat it was.
