Stealing something given by the emperor is a capital crime, and murdering the master is a crime for the entire family.
Brother Jiu really couldn't think of any reason for Nanny Liu to be so rebellious.
Shu Shu smiled: "I made a bet with you. If I torture the people in the kitchen, there will only be one conclusion. That is, someone is not angry with me for being mean and will take revenge on Aunt Zhao's behalf... Then my new daughter-in-law will become famous in this palace.
The first master who was mean to his servants suffered retribution. The servants in this palace are gossiping behind their backs, and they must feel relieved!" When he said this, he also became angry: "Do you really not believe it, or do you not want to believe it? Or do you?
I think it doesn’t matter whether I have a little brother or not, and it doesn’t matter whether I have a bad reputation or not?!”
Brother Ninth also became irritable and spoke indiscriminately: "You don't even ask, you don't even try, and you just convict Grandma Liu. What do you mean? You have to rule out all dissidents in the second institute, right?"
At this moment, he suddenly became clear-headed. He looked at the golden bowl, then at Shu Shu, and became furious: "You did it all on purpose! You wanted to see this on purpose, and you also threw the bowl in front of me on purpose!"
The scene in the study room flashed through his mind.
Whether it was this golden bowl or that golden Bagua plate, she held them in her hands and looked at them carefully.
She had realized something was wrong a long time ago, but she didn't point it out directly. Does this mean she didn't believe he would believe her?
Shu Shu lowered her eyes, feeling tired and not wanting to argue.
Brother Jiu became more and more angry and said: "What a fool you are?! You can hide it if you want, and you can manipulate me whenever you want. You can't even look down on me!" By the end of the sentence, he was extremely angry.
Aunt Zhou was beside her, trembling with fear, and kept using her eyes to express comfort.
Shu Shu, however, sat still.
Aunt Qi was also worried and wanted to turn around and leave. She hesitated for a moment and then stopped.
At this time, He Yuzhu hurried back with several imperial doctors, accompanied by the tenth prince who had just finished school.
The tenth elder brother was worried about whether his brother or sister-in-law was ill, so he asked He Yuzhu on the way.
He Yuzhu was also confused and couldn't explain clearly. The tenth prince was worried and followed him.
The three imperial doctors respectfully presented themselves to the prince, Prince Fu Jin.
One of them, with a somewhat familiar face, should be Dr. Liu, who was less reserved: "Master Jiu, do you want to ask for Ping An's pulse, or..."
Brother Jiu pointed to the dining table and was about to give instructions when he was interrupted by Shu Shu.
Shu Shu looked at the other two imperial doctors: "Excuse me, please check this meal to see if there is anything obstructing it..."
The two of them stepped forward in response. Shu Shu seemed to be looking at the dining table, but out of the corner of her eye, she was paying attention to Doctor Liu.
Sure enough, when he heard "meal", his face became stiff and his head drooped, as if he was showing respect, but in fact it was more like covering up something strange.
The two imperial doctors were both gynecologists, so they would not be fooled by such superficial means.
They tasted every dish with chopsticks. In addition to the two dishes of stewed chicken and roasted pork ribs that Shu Shu pointed out, they also pointed to the fungus and celery: "This fungus has grown three times and has moldy spots. I'm afraid it will cause
Diarrhea..." Then he pointed out the golden cake: "This one has hawthorn seed powder added to it. Hawthorn is inherently cold, especially hawthorn seeds..."
As for the efficacy and purpose of the fungus...
Several dishes are made from cold food. The stomach and intestines can't stand it, and there is no doubt that it will cause diarrhea. When the time comes, the imperial doctor will definitely investigate the cause carefully. This moldy fungus is the "scapegoat"!
Who could be a novice if he planned his diet to harm people so carefully?
No criminal record or experience?
Shu Shu looked at the thin Brother Jiu, and his doubts grew in his heart.
The 10th elder brother was there, and he was already dumbfounded by this.
Brother Ninth's face also turned from black to white, then to red. He was full of fear and rage: "Go and call the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I want to see who dares to murder the master!"
"Wait a minute!"
Shu Shu opened her mouth to stop him.
Brother Jiu turned to her and angrily said: "You are going to be harmed by others, why are you thinking about fame and not being famous?"
Shu Shu was very calm: "The physical evidence is here, and the people in the dining room are also restrained. It's okay to delay for a while..." After saying that, he turned to He Yuzhu: "Go to the imperial hospital, invite all the doctors on duty from Dafangmai, and give it to me.
Consultation! Among all the experts like me, who can guarantee that it will only be done this time..."
Doctor Liu's face turned pale with shock and he could no longer stand still.
Brother Jiu's face turned red: "What are you talking about! I ask for Ping An's pulse every ten days, and everything is fine. Why do you need so much effort?" After saying that, he turned to Dr. Liu and said, "Tell me, am I fine?"
Doctor Liu bowed and said: "Yes, Master Jiu is in good health, there is nothing wrong with him..."
Shu Shu stared at Dr. Liu and said: "It has been ten days since the last time I had a safe pulse. Now Dr. Liu is not familiar with it. Just by looking at the diagnosis, I can conclude that I am in good health. His medical skills are really extraordinary..."
Doctor Liu hesitated and did not dare to answer the question.
Shu Shu looked at He Yuzhu: "What? This Fujin can't control you? You have to find someone else..."
He Yuzhu looked at Brother Jiu with hesitation.
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "My slaves will naturally obey me!"
Shu Shu frowned and looked at Sun Jin who was standing at the door. Just when he was about to give instructions, the tenth elder brother had already kicked He Yuzhu: "Go quickly! Listen to Sister Ninth, nothing is as important as Brother Ninth's body..."
He Yuzhu turned around and ran away.
The ninth elder brother was not happy and scolded the tenth elder brother: "Why are you getting involved? I am in good health. I don't know what's wrong with it!"
Brother Ten did not answer, but said to Shu Shu: "Sister-in-law Ninth, it concerns Brother Ninth's health, so it's not good to hide it from Ama Tongyi's mother..."
There was such a big commotion in the backyard that Cui Nanshan didn't bother to count the tributes and went back to the main room.
After hearing what Brother Ten said, he immediately answered: "I will go to Qianqing Palace to report to the Emperor..."
Shu Shu nodded: "Excuse me, I know how to deal with it. I and I are both young and have little experience. We must ask the emperor and the empress to make the decision..."
The ninth elder brother wanted to speak, but the tenth elder brother covered his mouth.
Cui Nanshan left in a hurry.
Shu Shu looked at Aunt Qi again, who immediately said: "I will go to Yikun Palace to report to the empress..." With that, she pulled Xiaotang and hurried away.
Only then did Brother Ten let go of Brother Nine's mouth.
Brother Jiu was very annoyed: "This is all nonsense, why do you have to alarm Khan Ama and the empress..."
The tenth brother said seriously: "Someone is poisoning and trying to kill the master. Isn't it a big deal? If you want to hide it, can you keep it secret?"
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Ten and felt very grateful.
The tenth elder brother obviously saw her difficulties and knew that she had just arrived. He wanted to find out whether his elder brother would offend the Ministry of Internal Affairs again, so he followed her words and connected today's "poisoning" with the ninth elder brother's health.
, attracted the attention of the imperial concubine.
In this way, Shu Shu does not need to do anything to offend others.
The ninth elder brother could not understand the intention of the tenth elder brother, and still complained: "Then there is no need to be so hasty, just wait until the trial is clear before reporting, it is clueless, but it will make Khan Ama and the empress worry..."
The elder brother's place was very close to Yikun Palace. Nanny Qi and Xiaotang trotted again, and they arrived in less than half a cup of tea.
The two people came over panting, something was wrong, and no one dared to stop them. They immediately reported in: "Master, my brother has come to ask for a meeting with the queen, and something seems wrong..."
Concubine Yi couldn't sit still, so she immediately came out, looked at Nanny Qi and said, "What's wrong?"
Wouldn't it be nice for this young couple to go out in the morning?
Why was there so much trouble on this day?
Aunt Qi immediately knelt down and said, "My dear, someone was tampering with the food. We in Fujin were afraid that my elder brother would be in trouble, so we asked someone to invite the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital for consultation... We didn't dare to hide it from your Majesty, so we sent an old slave to report it.
Empress…”
Concubine Yi swayed, stabilized her mind, and walked out in a hurry without asking any further questions.
Xianglan saw it and quickly brought a palace maid to follow.

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Cui Nanshan also knelt down and complained: "Fu Jin discovered that there was something wrong with the food, and the imperial doctor took a look at it and ordered something that would hinder the heirs... Before that, Fujin and Jiu Ye checked Jiu Ye's private treasury and found that the things given by the emperor had been replaced by fake ones...
…”
It can only be said that "people become better with age". Cui Nanshan could not have thought of the origin of the big drama that my brother created today. Cui Nanshan had thought about the same thing all the way.
When I made the report, I was selfish and told the story of the missing property.
He is the general manager of my elder brother, and these things happened under his nose, and he must bear the crime of "oversight".
After being together for more than ten years, it would be a lie to say that he had no idea that Nanny Liu's hands and feet were unclean, but she was just trying to make a little fuss. I didn't expect that she would be so bold, even daring to exchange the things given by the emperor.
Now if I don't tear it apart and make it clear, he, the manager, won't be able to explain it clearly.
Where does the arm twist over the thigh?
Aunt Liu is confused. When a slave wants to control his master, what else is it than lard that has deceived his mind?
Kangxi's face was ashen, is his slave so arrogant now?
Just because the master wants to collect the books and audit the accounts, do you want to harm the master?
hinder the heirs...
How vicious...
Hands and feet move in the meal...
Where does the medicine come from...
"It's really a wealth of experience. I want to see what kind of slave can dominate my brother's job!"
Kangxi suppressed his anger and left the Qianqing Palace. He didn't even pass the chariot, and took a shortcut to his elder brother's house with his attendant Xiliugong.

At this time, He Yuzhu had returned from duty at Taiyuan Hospital again.
Dafangmai is a major department of the Imperial Hospital, and six imperial physicians, old and middle-aged, are on duty. Except for Imperial Physician Liu, who came first, the remaining five were all brought here.
The ninth elder brother had a dark face and refused to cooperate. It was the tenth elder brother who took action and took his arm, asking all the imperial doctors to come forward one after another to check his pulse.
Shu Shu stood beside Concubine Yi, her attention still focused on Imperial Physician Liu.
Doctor Liu's forehead was covered with sweat, and the blood on his face had faded.
Shu Shu felt relieved.
She felt that she was really cold-hearted. At this moment, what she was thinking about was not Brother Jiu's body, but the follow-up.
She had made such a big fuss, and if the speculation was just speculation, then even if Kangxi and Concubine Yi could understand her "concern leads to chaos", she would become a joke in the palace.
As the old doctor's expression became more solemn, Concubine Yi bit her lips, her breathing quickened, and she tightened her hand on the veil.
The old doctor did not speak immediately, but gave way to the next person.
The next imperial physician solemnly took the pulse, frowned, and looked carefully at Brother Jiu's expression...
