After a whole night of interrogation, the reason why Wen Qingmei was poisoned finally became clear.
Xiao Xing knelt on the ground, her forehead bleeding from the bruise.
Aunt Yue has calmed down now, but Wen Shuquan's face is cold.
In Wen Qingmei's bedroom, the charcoal fire stopped, and the cup covered with a thin quilt was replaced.
It's just the beginning of spring and the temperature is still very low.
After Wen Qingzhu finished acupuncture, he felt that this matter was extremely difficult.
After telling Xiao Tao to take good care of her, she walked outside.
Aunt Yue saw her coming out and stood up quickly: "Miss Qi, Mei'er..."
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "If it's poison, I might be able to cure it, but if it's poison, I'm a little helpless."
When Aunt Yue heard this, tears suddenly flowed out: "Then, what should Mei'er do?"
"Master, Mei'er is your own flesh and blood, you must save her!" Aunt Yue turned around and knelt in front of Wen Shuquan, tugging at the hem of his clothes, crying heartbreakingly.
Wen Shuquan did not speak.
No matter how Aunt Yue cried for help, he remained indifferent.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Aunt Yue and felt a little unbearable.
In her previous life, she had almost no memory of Aunt Yue.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Wen Qingmei is her heartthrob and the motivation to try her best to survive.
It's just that Uncle Wen has his own considerations.
Things like Gu were taboo in the days when the late emperor was about to die.
The late emperor once had a concubine who was a beauty who paid tribute from Miao territory.
In just three months, several concubines and princes died violently in the harem.
But the cause of death was never found until a cousin of Concubine Cheng entered the palace.
It was pointed out that this was a poison poisoned by a beauty from the Miao border, and she deliberately murdered the princes and concubines.
At the same time, the poisonous poison in the late emperor's body was secretly derived, and the evidence was conclusive.
When the Miao beauty was arrested, it was found that she had hanged herself.
Less than five years later, the late emperor passed away.
The current Shunde Emperor survived that disaster.
After registering, he immediately sent people to attack Miao territory, and at the same time, he strictly controlled the occurrence of various witchcraft and Gu in the capital.
Once it appears, kill it immediately.
Thirty years have passed, but witchcraft is still a taboo in the capital.
At this moment, witchcraft appeared in their Yanyuan, and Wen Shuquan just wanted to sacrifice Wen Qingmei.
This is not possible!
Once Wen Qingmei dies, Aunt Yue will be useless.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu said: "Father, this matter must be found out."
Uncle Wen looked up, his eyes filled with ice-cold chill: "Oh? What should I say?"
Wen Qingzhu said calmly: "Sister Qingmei was affected by the poison a few days ago, and my daughter was also affected by the poison in the next few days. Maybe in a few days, my father will also-"
"Presumptuous!" Uncle Wen suddenly shouted and interrupted her.
Miao witchcraft is mysterious and full of danger.
Wen Shuquan had not directly ordered Wen Qingmei to be dealt with just now because he was considering the person who had planted the poison.
"Father, my daughter is just expressing her worries. If the illness is caused by poison, her daughter can help solve one or two problems. But there is really nothing the daughter can do about things like witchcraft. Father can not consider his daughter's safety, but you must care about your safety. Consider it." Wen Qingzhu said solemnly.
"Do you have any idea?" Wen Shuquan had already guessed that it was most likely Aunt Wu's fault.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and turned around when Uncle Wen didn't object.
"Xiao Xing, please tell me more about what happened that day."
Xiao Xing is very smart and knows that her opportunity has come to make a difference.
He quickly explained in detail about Wen Qingmei's dish-playing incident.
It was noon that day.
Wen Qingmei was sleepy for several days while listening to Qinxuan, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
While Aunt Yue went out to deal with Yan Yuan's affairs, she quietly ran out with Xiao Xing.
During the Chinese New Year, the Wen family has many guests.
She was a concubine, so she didn't dare to go out of Yanyuan, so she just wandered in the garden.
At this time, it was still very cold in spring and there was almost nothing to see.
But there are some plum trees in the south garden of Yanyuan, very close to the east courtyard.
Wen Qingmei went over there.
But he met Jasmine picking plum blossoms.
Seeing Wen Qingmei coming, she left early even though she hadn't finished picking.
After a while, a colorful butterfly flew over.
Wen Qingmei wondered why there were butterflies at this time
Xiao Xing had been scolded a lot these days, so she deliberately made Wen Qingmei happy.
It was said that the butterfly knew that Wen Qingmei was coming and came here specially.
When Wen Qingmei was happy, she insisted on catching the butterfly herself.
After catching it for a long time, Wen Qingmei finally caught it.
But as soon as it was in my hand, the butterfly died.
Wen Qingmei was unhappy, so Xiao Xing changed the subject and said that Aunt Yue would be back soon.
When I walked out of the south garden, I met someone from the west garden coming out of the kitchen.
After listening, Wen Qingzhu probably understood.
That butterfly is the middle part of the poison.
After all, there are no butterflies at all at this time.
But before Wen Qingmei went there, Jasmine was there in the first place.
Wen Qingzhu made a note of it in his mind, and then continued to ask: "Who did you meet from the West Courtyard there at that time?"
Xiao Xing recalled: "Mama You, there is also a mother-in-law, but the servant looks very unfamiliar, maybe she is new here."
"An unfamiliar woman?" Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes.
She thought of the two women behind Wen Qinglan on the day of Mrs. Liu's birthday.
That time, a woman was ordered by Wen Qinglan to pour soup on herself.
Later Fu Lie rescued her, and Jasmine taught the woman a lesson for herself.
So that's it.
Wen Qingzhu turned to Wen Shuquan and said, "Father, my daughter probably knows who it is? If my father can ask Manager Cao and Manager Tian to help me, my daughter will definitely catch the person who planted the poison."
After a moment of silence, Uncle Wen thought about it in many ways and finally agreed.
Now that Aunt Wu is helping Wen Guanbin, Uncle Wen doesn't dare to touch her easily.
But Wen Qingzhu used Yanyuan's family affairs as an excuse to touch Aunt Wu, but he was still able to capture her.
The father and daughter left Tingqinxuan and arrived at Jinsong Pavilion.
After the screen was closed, the room became silent for a moment.
Wen Qingzhu bowed his head and waited for Wen Shuquan to ask questions.
Uncle Wen looked at her quietly, organizing his words in his mind.
A lot of things happened today, and many aristocratic families were involved.
Even the Wen family is no exception.
After being silent for a long time, Wen Shuquan slowly asked: "After Mrs. Lei San left, have you been staying in the Lei family's courtyard?"
Wen Qingzhu respectfully replied: "Father, yes, my daughter has been staying in the Wen family's courtyard, and Miss Lei Liu is with me."
Wen Shuquan's eyes gradually darkened.
He couldn't understand his daughter more and more.
After a long while, Uncle Wen raised his hand: "Go back and rest first."
"Thank you, father. Please have a good rest, father." Wen Qingzhu said, and slowly backed away.
When she reached the door, she was about to turn around.
Wen Shuquan suddenly said: "The eldest lady of the Yun family fell off a cliff and died."
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu was shocked.
A puzzled expression gradually appeared on his face, and he raised his eyes to look at Wen Shuquan, looking very puzzled.
Wen Shuquan looked at her for a few breaths, then raised his hand.
Only then did Wen Qingzhu retreat.
After leaving Jinsong Pavilion, Lu Tao hurriedly walked up and whispered: "Miss, Jasmine's body has recovered. The second lady sent someone over to ask, do you want to take Jasmine away?"
"There's no hurry, the person who caused the poison hasn't been caught yet." Wen Qingzhu turned his head and looked at the west courtyard on the left.
I don’t know if the mother-in-law has left.
If she left early, she might regret it.
Wu Shan actually gave the Wu family two women who knew the art of witchcraft.
This is really interesting.
The next morning, Wen Qingzhu had a nightmare.
After sitting up instantly, in the darkness, the tears on her face had not completely dried.
"Fu'er..." Wen Qingzhu covered his heart, enduring waves of pain. His voice was almost as if it was squeezed out of his throat, stiff and hoarse.
He was stunned for a while, until Lu Tao knocked on the door and came in.
Only then did Wen Qingzhu realize that he would never see Fu'er again.
"Miss, Manager Hai is here. He asked you to come to Zimingtang!" Lu Tao's voice was a little panicked.
Wen Qingzhu opened the quilt, put on his shoes and stood up.
Lu Tao opened the curtain and his face turned red with anxiety: "Miss, Manager Tian said that the person sitting in front of me is someone from the Criminal Punishment Department."
"Change my clothes for me." Wen Qingzhu did not panic.
Wen Guanbin went out all night last night, and I was afraid that Mr. Wei would bring up Empress Zheng's case.
But what surprised her was that the person who came was not from Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment.
How could he be from the Department of Punishment
During most of the time when the incense stick was burning, Wen Qingzhu took Mother Ye to Zimingtang.
Sitting in the middle hall was a cold-faced middle-aged man.
He has a pair of triangular eyes, thick and long eyebrows, and a dark complexion.
Eyes like hawks were focused on Wen Qingzhu the moment she walked in.
Wen Guanbin and Wen Bogui stood in front of the cold-faced man with their heads bowed.
Hearing the movement at the door, the two of them looked back.
"Xiao Qi, come here and salute Mr. Hei." Wen Guanbin's face was extremely serious, and his voice was a bit cold.
Wen Qingzhu calmly stepped forward and stopped next to Wen Guanbin.
Properly salute Mr. Hei in front of you.
Hei Jiren, who was sitting in the upper position, raised his eyebrows and looked straight into Wen Qingzhu's eyes like a hungry jackal.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at her, showing a little fear, and then lowered his eyebrows.
"Haha." A sinister sneer sounded in his ears.
Wen Qingzhu was wondering, should he act calmer instead
"Miss Wen Qi is indeed not an ordinary person." Hei Jiren's voice became more and more sinister, and there was an echo in people's ears.
Wen Qingzhu subconsciously covered his forehead, secretly becoming wary.
It's over, this Hei Jiren realized that something was wrong with her.
I shouldn't be so calm!
Now she wanted to look sideways at the expressions on Wen Guanbin and Wen Bogui's faces.
But she didn't dare, because any small move could arouse Hei Jiren's suspicion.
Hei Jiren has been working as a clerk in the Department of Punishment for twenty years. He is the emperor's number one dog hawk and should not be underestimated.
Jiang Yuancheng also suffered a lot at his hands back then.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly felt that the eyes in front of him were getting sharper and sharper.
no! This can't go on like this!
Without any hesitation, Wen Qingzhu pressed the acupuncture point on his wrist and made himself faint.
"Miss!"
Before he fell to the ground, Wen Qingzhu heard Mother Ye's frightened shouts.
When he woke up again, Wen Qingzhu smelled a hint of damp and putrid smell on the tip of his nose.
This is not the Wen family!
Wen Qingzhu immediately opened his eyes and wanted to take action.
With the feeling of tightness all over his body, and the darkness in front of him.
Wen Qingzhu felt a chill in his heart.
She was actually tied up and blindfolded.
He moved his hands and feet and found that she was lying down.
But the rancid smell in my nose was really too strong.
His mind started spinning rapidly, and he tried his best to think about it. Wen Qingzhu finally thought of a place.
This is the prison of the Department of Punishment!
"Miss Wen, don't move cautiously. I already know that you are awake."
Hei Jiren's sinister and cold voice came from not far away.
Wen Qingzhu's heart became heavier and heavier, why was she still taken away.
