The little eunuch sent to the kitchen to catch live chickens was very quick.
Wen Xianqing listened to the little eunuch catching the chicken and standing in the yard. He happened to also treat Songzhi's wound.
Yinzhen and Nian Shilan came out of the house and stood on the porch.
Su Peisheng directed two servants to move chairs and place them in the corridor for the two masters to sit.
After the two masters were seated firmly, the young eunuch followed Doctor Wen's instructions and drank the water mixed with white powder while holding the neck of the live chicken.
The little eunuch held a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to the chicken's foot.
He lets live chickens go.
The chicken took two steps at first, then struggled and flapped its wings to escape.
But it only flapped its wings twice and fell to the ground before even taking the third step, dead.
Foam even came out of the chicken's mouth, and the foam gradually mixed with blood.
Everyone in the courtyard changed their expressions, this powder was so powerful!
The little eunuch who had just poured medicine into the chicken looked pale. With Su Peisheng's permission, he hurriedly found water to wash his hands.
Just because when he was filling the medicine, he accidentally got two drops of water on his hand.
Nian Shilan couldn't help it and stood up all of a sudden.
Yinzhen was born in the royal family. Since childhood, he has never seen any methods or heard of any poisons.
But this time today, the poison took effect faster than any poison he had ever seen.
If you pour it into a living creature, it will die immediately.
Yinzhen also stood up. He comforted Nian Shilan and patted her back.
Nian Shilan's whole body was trembling slightly.
She had only heard from Xiao Linzi that this thing was extremely poisonous.
But I didn't expect the effect to be so powerful, even He Dinghong would have to retreat three points.
Nian Shilan didn't dare to think about what would have happened if she hadn't discovered that Pothos had added something to her tea leaves and she had been drinking the added tea for a long time.
She was shaking now, not with fear, but with anger.
Yinzhen felt Nian Shilan's trembling and thought she was frightened.
I sighed in my heart, I was scared twice in less than three days.
An ordinary woman would be crying right now.
Fortunately, it was Shilan, and fortunately she was always different from ordinary boudoir girls.
Although he had his own plans when he asked to marry Shilan, at this moment, a trace of pity arose in his heart.
Wen Xianqing stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty. I have carefully screened it just now. The black residue in the tea should be apple seeds. According to medical books, apple seeds are not harmful to the human body if they are accidentally eaten occasionally. But if they are eaten for a long time, At the least, it can cause dizziness, nausea, palpitations, convulsions, mental confusion, and death. At worst... at worst, it can kill you in a short time. The powder today should be apple seeds that have been purified in large quantities to have such a dramatic effect. The effect of poison.”
The more Yinzhen listened, the darker his face became.
Nian Shilan took a deep breath and slowly blessed Yinzhen.
"Master, these things are actually added to the tea I drink every day. This yard is not clean."
Songzhi was the first to kneel in the courtyard. She was the slave who served Nian Shilan most closely, so she was naturally the easiest to suspect.
Songzhi knelt down and spoke: "Your Majesty, I have been with Xi Fujin since I could walk and talk. I have no second thoughts. To show my innocence, I am willing to accept any method of investigation!"
When Xiao Linzi saw this, he also knelt in the courtyard.
"Although I have only been in Fujin's courtyard for a few months, I have been cared for and cared for by Fujin. I am loyal and loyal and do not dare to have second thoughts. I am also willing to accept any method of investigation!"
Jinglan Courtyard has long been surrounded by Yinzhen's guards.
The slaves in the courtyard immediately knelt down all over the courtyard.
Guyu, Xiaoman, Mangzhong, and Hanlu all knelt beside Songzhi and Xiaolinzi.
Several other third-class servants and two nuns knelt behind them.
There are also two little eunuchs who are doing rough things kneeling at the end.
Su Peisheng glanced around, but didn't see a second-class maid who Nian Shilan often used to walk around, fetching things and clothes.
He replied to Yinzhen: "Master, I just looked at it, and now there seems to be one less person."
Yinzhen has already pulled Nian Shilan back to the chair.
"Let me check it out. Find everyone in Jinglan Courtyard for me."
Nian Shilan suddenly spoke and said seriously.
"Master, what happened today in Jinglan Court must be caused by evil spirits. I beg your mercy, master, and allow me to check it out in person today."
"Okay. How you want to check it is up to me."
Yinzhen agreed without hesitation.
"I want to borrow my body from the master's people."
After saying that, Nian Shilan asked Su Peisheng to bring four guards in and asked them to carefully explore the Jinglan Courtyard.
After a while, a guard came out of the servant's room carrying a pothos.
He threw the green dill into the courtyard, and the baggage in the green dill's arms fell to the ground.
Seeing her limp like mud, the guard couldn't help but feel contempt in his eyes.
"Prince Qi. I just checked the servant's room and found this servant in a big box."
After saying this, the guard retreated.
Then another guard came over with a package in his hands. He placed the package on the ground and opened it. Inside were two pieces of women's pajamas, with a small paper bag wrapped in the pajamas.
Wen Xianqing took the small paper bag from the guard's hand, opened it, took one look at it, and said to Yinzhen.
"Your Majesty, these are the same things that are added to Fujin tea. They are roughly crushed apple seeds into particles."
Yinzhen didn't speak. His eyes swept across everyone and landed on Luluo.
