A Cai looked at Luo Lan with puzzled eyes and asked in a low voice:
"Princess, who could this person be?"
"I don't know, so I have to investigate this matter carefully."
After saying that, she said to A Cai:
"Call the two women in the kitchen."
A Cai didn't dare to neglect and ran quickly to the kitchen.
After a while, the two women came to Luo Lan.
Luo Lan looked at the two of them and asked sharply,
"Who cooked the porridge in Dazhi's room this morning?"
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly replied:
"Yes...it was me who endured it."
"What's in it?"
"Let it go...put in the millet and water, and a little rock sugar according to the princess's instructions, and nothing else."
Luo Lan tightened his expression and asked again:
"After the porridge was cooked, who gave it to you?"
"Leave it to Xiao Ma. He delivers porridge to Dazhi every day."
pony?
Those who deliver porridge and pick up porridge bowls are all ponies.
It seems that this pony is the most suspicious.
Although these two cooking women are old people left behind by Prince Yu's Mansion, they have done nothing extraordinary during this period of time. Although Luo Lan is suspicious of them, looking at them, they don't look like Someone who did something wrong.
So, she waved her hand and said, "Get back!"
The biggest suspicion now is Xiao Ma. She said to A Gang again:
"Call Pony here alone."
After Ah Gang responded, he hurried to call Xiao Ma.
Dazhi was poisoned in Prince Yu's Mansion. This matter should not be taken lightly. If we don't find out, who will be poisoned next time may be unknown.
Therefore, even if Huichun Hall is closed for three days, she still has to find out about this matter.
After a while, Xiao Ma came to Luo Lan and she bowed.
"Princess, call the servant, what are your orders?"
Luo Lan stood up, walked slowly, and circled around him. Xiao Ma swallowed nervously.
Luo Lan walked around to him and said to him solemnly:
"Keep your head up."
Her voice carries a majesty that no one dares to look down upon.
Xiao Ma timidly raised his head and looked at her nervously.
Luo Lan looked directly into his eyes and asked word by word:
"How long have you been in the house?"
"A month."
"Do I have enough salary for you?"
Xiao Ma shook his head hurriedly, "No, Butler Agang told me when he came to see me that the salary in Prince Yu's Mansion is higher than other families, but I have to be diligent in my work."
"very good."
Luo Lan looked at him with half-squinted eyes. Although Xiao Ma's expression was a little nervous, he was not panicked. If he had done something wrong, he would not dare to look at her under her gaze, and his expression would definitely not be like this.
So, she raised her hand to support her chin and pondered for a while, then asked again,
"Did anything unusual happen when you went to the kitchen to fetch and deliver porridge this morning?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ma hurriedly knelt down and said, "Princess, no, nothing happened. Xiao Ma has been working diligently since he entered the palace and did not dare to show any neglect."
Condescendingly, Luo Lan looked at the pony kneeling on the ground and said word by word:
"Did you know that the bowl of porridge you sent to Dazhi's room was poisonous?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ma suddenly opened his mouth in shock, and sweat trickled down his forehead.
He raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead and replied timidly:
"Princess, I was wronged. I didn't dare to poison. I don't have the courage. I still have an old mother at home who needs to be taken care of. How could I dare to do such an evil thing?"
Luo Lan knelt down and asked sternly in front of him:
"I didn't say you poisoned me, but this matter can't be investigated clearly, and you can't escape the involvement. So you'd better tell the truth. Was there anything unusual when you went from the kitchen to Dazhi's room?"
Pony's lips trembled, he pursed his lips and whispered:
"Yes, I just took the porridge in the morning. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a stomachache. At this time, Xiao Feng came over. I was anxious to go to the latrine, so I asked him to help me deliver the porridge to Xiao Feng who was waiting outside Dazhi's room. In Liu’s hands.”
Hearing this, Luo Lan's eyes tightened, she stood up straight and shouted sharply:
"Why didn't you say it just now?"
Xiao Ma hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm afraid that the princess will say that I am not doing things well and kick me out of the palace, so... I dare not say anything."
Luo Lan's mouth twitched and asked coldly:
"Am I such an unreasonable person in the eyes of you servants?"
"Slave doesn't dare."
Xiao Ma kowtowed hurriedly, "Xiao Feng came to me in a hurry after Dazhi's condition worsened. He said that I couldn't tell the princess about this, otherwise the princess would definitely suspect that I was not doing things well and could not even deliver a bowl of porridge. If not, I will be kicked out of the palace."
Hearing this, Luo Lan shouted angrily at A Gang and A Hou:
"Find Xiao Feng."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ah Gang hurriedly went to find someone.
After a while, he came back alone, "Princess, Xiao Feng is missing. The servant who lives with him said that he left just now."
Hearing this, Luo Lan was even more convinced that there must be something wrong with this Xiao Feng.
So, she raised her eyebrows lightly and said to Ah Hou and Zhang Yuan:
"You go and chase him. No matter where you chase him, bring him back to me."
He dared to come to Prince Yu's palace and poison him, how could she let him go?
Zhang Yuan and Empress A didn't dare to neglect, and quickly left the house to chase Xiao Feng.
Luo Lan was sitting in the Rejuvenation Hall, staring at the door with a pair of crystal eyes.
Who wants to harm Dazhi? Who did Dazhi offend? Why did someone try to kill him over and over again?
However, Zhang Yuan and Ah Hou searched for the entire afternoon, but could not find Xiao Feng. When they went to look for him at his home, they found that there was only a blind father in his home, and they did not know where he had gone.
When Zhang Yuan and the two reported the news to Luo Lan, Luo Lan's eyes tightened even more.
She said to Zhang Yuan:
"Bring a few more people with you. Within three days, even if you dig three feet into the capital, you will find this Xiao Feng for me."
Now not only are some people trying to harm Leng Yu, there are also people who are trying to harm Dazhi.
Her palace, Prince Yu, gave her a feeling of danger.
At dusk, she asked A Gang to gather all the servants in the mansion in the front yard.
Now there are more and more servants in the palace, and among these people there are several new faces.
Luo Lan looked at these servants and said to A Gang:
"Starting from tomorrow, if you do well, your salary will be increased by one hundred silver dollars every month. If you do not do well, you will settle your accounts and leave in time. I, Prince Yu, do not raise idlers, nor do I raise lazy people who do nothing."
Hearing what she said, everyone bowed their heads and dared not speak.
She added:
"All of you must remember that Prince Yu's Palace is different from other palaces. People outside have many opinions about Prince Yu's Palace, and there are many people who want to do anything to Prince Yu's Palace. Therefore, I advise you not to do it for petty gains. , Xiao Feng made a mistake by doing something harmful to Prince Yu’s Mansion. You all must know about his escape from the Prince’s Mansion, but I can guarantee that he will not be able to escape far. Within three days, I will find him and deliver him to the right place. The Heavenly Mansion calls for punishment."
After saying this, she glanced at everyone and said:
"From today on, those who want to stay in the palace to work are not allowed to say anything about the palace to people outside, not a single word. If anyone doesn't listen, and I find out, it will be easy to kick him out of the palace. I will Let him know that I, Shui Luolan, am not someone to be trifled with."
