Chapter 966

When the ginseng soup was just scooped out of the casserole, it was very hot.

In order to avoid scalding the princess, the maid stirred the ginseng soup with a spoon and fanned the ginseng soup with a fan to speed up the cooling of the ginseng soup.

When the heat of the ginseng soup decreased and became just right for the entrance, the maid put down the spoon and fan, picked up the ginseng soup and left the kitchen.

Xiao Xi, holding a spoon, slowly stirred the chicken soup and continued to ask.

"Did you stir the ginseng soup like this?"

Maid: "the handmaid's hand is still a little lower."

Xiao Xi moved his finger down: "so?"

The maid nodded vigorously, "well, that's it!"

In order to restore the scene at that time to the greatest extent, Xiao Xixi asked someone to bring a fan.

She shook her fan as she stirred the chicken soup.

When the temperature of the chicken soup dropped and became less hot, Xiao Xi stopped stirring.

She put the spoon on the edge of the bowl, tapped it twice, and knocked down the soup hanging on the spoon.

At the same time, she did not forget to look at the maid and asked.

"Did you knock the bowl like this?"

The maid first thought about it, then nodded, "yes."

After stirring the soup, knocking on the edge of the bowl with a spoon is a small action that many people will subconsciously complete.

Everyone present didn't think there was anything wrong with this little move.

Until

The government doctor detected the toxicity from the bowl of chicken soup.

The crowd was startled.

Luo yechen asked, "is it the same poison as ginseng soup?"

The doctor nodded and said yes.

The housekeeper hurriedly explained.

"This chicken soup was stewed in the kitchen this morning to make up for the princess after she gave birth to her child.

Due to the poisoning of ginseng soup, in order to avoid the same situation again, I specially prepared two people to try the dishes in the kitchen.

After all food comes out of the pot, you have to try it first.

This bowl of chicken soup is the same. There's no problem trying it! "

Before, the government doctor also checked in front of everyone. This bowl of chicken soup was originally non-toxic.

So what the housekeeper said is credible.

Luo yechen couldn't wait to ask.

"What the hell is going on?"

Luo QingHan already knew that the problem was the spoon.

From the first inspection to the second inspection, Xi Xi only touched the bowl of chicken soup with a spoon.

indeed.

Xiao Xi shook the small and exquisite Ruby spoon.

"Because this spoon is poisonous."

The doctor hurriedly said, "but I've checked before. There's no poison on the spoon."

Xiao Cuixi: "do you have a silver needle?"

"Yes." the doctor opened the medicine box he was carrying, took out the needle bag and took out a slender silver needle.

Xiao Xi took the silver needle.

She inserted the silver needle into the hollow of the handle of the spoon, and then rubbed it slowly around the edge.

When she pulled out the silver needle, she found that the tip of the needle was stained with a little reddish substance.

She beckoned everyone to come and have a look.

The crowd immediately gathered together.

They all saw what was on the tip of the needle.

The doctor took the silver needle and examined it carefully.

"This seems to be red wax."

Xiao Xi gave a positive reply: "yes, it's honey wax."

Luo yechen was still confused: "what does this have to do with the poisoning of chicken soup?"

Luo QingHan has guessed the truth.

"Someone sealed the poison here with red wax."

As he spoke, he gently touched the handle of the spoon with his finger.

There are several hollows in the handle of the spoon.

Someone hid the poison in these hollowed out holes and sealed them with honey wax.

Xiao Xixi picked up the spoon, stirred it slowly in the chicken soup, and explained.

"When the ginseng soup was just scooped out, it was very hot, and there would be a lot of heat rising. The honey wax would melt when it was hot. After stirring, the maid knocked the spoon on the bowl..."

She put the spoon on the edge of the bowl and tapped it gently.

The glazed bowl then made a crisp clang.

"The poison hidden in the hole will fall out and fall into the ginseng soup, and the maid who completed all this did not know."

When the maid next to him heard this, her face became as white as paper.

She almost became the murderer who killed the princess!

She hurriedly knelt down and cried, "I don't know that this spoon was moved * * * I never thought of harming the princess and little husband. Please forgive me!"

Xiao Xi said, "you don't have to be too nervous. If it weren't for you, the palace might not be able to find the truth."

The maid was stunned and looked at her.

Xiao Xixi explained, "because when you take the spoon, your fingers are relatively lower, blocking a hole in the handle of the spoon, so that the poison in it can't fall out. It's also because of the residual poison that makes the experiment of our palace successful."

Probably the person who poisoned didn't expect such an accident.

Most people hold a spoon and hold the part close to the top.

But the maid is different. She habitually moves down a little, so that the spoon can be held more stably and is not easy to slip, but her posture will not be very good-looking and look a little clumsy.

Luo yechen originally wanted to severely punish the maid who almost poisoned the princess. Smelling the speech, she had to change her mind.

Forget it, she was also involved. It's not her fault.

The housekeeper said, "this spoon is a gift from a foreign businessman who specializes in jade business. He came to the palace to give gifts, first to show his kindness to the Lord, and second to advertise the jade sold by his family in Shengjing daily."

Since Shengjing daily became popular in Shengjing City, some people soon found business opportunities, one of which is advertising.

Of course, they didn't know the word advertising at first because Xiao Xixi said the word advertising. Yingwang thought it was very appropriate and used it. When others heard Yingwang mention advertising, they spread the word.

Today, Shengjing Daily has specially set up a small section for advertising.

These advertisements can not only bring popularity to businesses, but also facilitate the people in Shengjing, but also generate income for the newspaper.

shooting two birds with one stone!

It is precisely because of the good advertising effect of newspapers that more and more businesses hear the wind and hope to publish advertisements in newspapers.

Shengjing daily does not accept all advertisements. It needs to be screened to ensure that the advertising content is true and the merchant has good reputation before it can be published.

Even if the censorship is strict, there are still many businesses that publish advertisements. Now they have been ranked three months later.

In order to jump the queue and publish advertisements in advance, some businesses will come to the newspaper with gifts in private, but some brave people will go directly to Yingwang.

The jade merchant in the housekeeper's mouth is obviously the one with great courage.

When the merchant came to the palace, the king was still in Wanhai city. The princess was too lazy to deal with him, so she asked the housekeeper to receive him.

The housekeeper listened to his explanation and politely refused his request.
