Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

At this moment, Wang Xifeng was confused as to whether she was happy or angry, and no one knew who she was directed at.

Therefore, even if Mei Ruoqin wanted to explain Nanny Duan's leave due to illness as an accident, she had to think carefully about whether she should explain for Nanny Duan or for herself.

——I have no choice but to stop explaining for now.

Mei Ruoqin lowered her head and walked out.

Seeing that she didn't even remember to say goodbye before leaving in such an occasion, An'er's anger was already evident on his face. He took half a step forward and was about to speak.

But Wang Xifeng raised her hand to stop her.

Mei Ruoqin held Mei Shu's hand and went out. Mei Ran and Ru'er, who were outside, separated and followed, trying to hold Mei Ruoqin's other hand, but Mei Ruoqin ignored them, let her hand drop, and lifted her skirt herself.

Mei Ran's hand froze there for a moment, then fell down powerlessly. She lowered her head and followed the two of them around the corner into the main hall.

Wang Xifeng stood by the door, watching coldly as the three figures of the master and servant disappeared into the wide-open palace gate.

Ruer came over quietly, lowered her voice, told Mei Ran all the news just now, and whispered:

"Mei Ran also said that Wu Jin didn't eat at their place, but when she came here to pass on the message, she smelled the aroma of chicken and fish in the house.

“I just didn’t see the bowl.”

Wang Xifeng's eyebrows twitched, and she immediately turned around and strode up to Geng Simiao, looking down at her: "Geng Ronghua, do you have anything you need to tell me?"

Geng Simiao looked up at her with tears in her eyes, sobbing:

"I don't know which ones are important to say and which ones are irrelevant..."

"Then tell me everything. I have the patience to listen." Wang Xifeng was cold and indifferent, no longer as intimate as when they held hands and whispered the day before.

Geng Simiao wiped away her tears, thought for a moment, and then said, "Wu Jin jumped in through that window, the one that was right."

She pointed to a window in the side hall that faced the alley outside, "Then he jumped directly onto my bed, sniffed and snorted for a long time, and rolled over twice.

"I was a little afraid to touch it, so I just watched from the side. Madoka accompanied me and even asked with a smile what Wu Gin was looking for."

The aura around Wang Xifeng slowly subsided, replaced by her usual calm and indifferent demeanor.

Ruer took the opportunity to walk forward and helped her sit down at the table.

Wang Xifeng took advantage of this step, sat down gently, and raised her hand towards Geng Simiao.

Ru'er hurried forward again, and together with Aunt Tian, ​​helped Geng Simiao up, and helped her to the table, where she sat opposite Wang Xifeng.

"Go on." Wang Xifeng said lightly.

Geng Simiao thought about it and said, "Later, Wu Jin sniffed around in my palace, and finally smelled me, and then my hands.

"I plucked up the courage to touch its head, and it rubbed my hand and meowed again.

"Xiao Yuan said that Wu Jin might be hungry. She also said that when she went to the main hall to deliver snacks, she heard the servants gossiping that the maid of the second lady of the Mei family kicked and beat Wu Jin.

"I think Wu Jin rarely interacts with strangers, and rarely eats food handed to him. Since he was treated coldly in the main hall, he must have been unable to beg for food.

"I asked Xiao Yuan to prepare the fish stew and chicken soup that I had prepared in the small tea stove in the morning, and mixed some mint leaves for Wu Jin to eat."

Wang Xifeng was stunned: "How do you know Wu Jin likes mint?"

"Cats all like to eat mint!" Geng Simiao looked at Wang Xifeng in confusion, "Don't you know, Imperial Concubine?"

Wang Xifeng shook her head: "I don't know. It's because Wu Jin went crazy when he went to the kitchen to eat mint leaves when he was a child. That's why I guessed so.

"So, Wu Jin ate the rice mixed with Xiao Yuan?"

Geng Simiao nodded, and pointed to the bowl that had been placed in the corner and no one paid attention to it: "That's it, Wu Jin ate it all.

"That bowl has not been touched yet. Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to check it out."

Wang Xifeng raised her chin, and Ruer hurried over to wrap the bowl with a handkerchief and hurriedly sent it to the ear room.

"After Wu Jin finished eating, he jumped onto the top cabinet to wash his face and go to sleep."

Geng Simiao continued, "Later, Mei Ran came and gave me some gifts that the two Madams Mei brought yesterday, and she also explained a few words on behalf of Concubine Rong.

"And asked me for today's snack.

"I'll ask Xiaoyuan to get it..."

She also recounted what happened next in detail, and finally burst into tears, "My Lady, I'm afraid Xiaoyuan will, will have an accident..."

If something happened to Xiaoyuan, then the blame for Wu Jin's poisoning would be put on Xiaoyuan no matter what.

By then, even if Wang Xifeng knew that Geng Simiao and Xiao Yuan were innocent, for the sake of her own prestige and the future safety of others around her, she would have to punish Geng Simiao and let Xiao Yuan bear the infamy after her death...

"This is a great plan, it kills three birds with one stone." Wang Xifeng held up three fingers, "Me, you, and Concubine Rong."

Geng Simiao was stunned: "Is this matter related to Sister Mei?"

"She is pregnant now, which is the most important thing. Beside her, Madam Duan is the first-level guard, you are the second-level, and I am the third-level.

"You also heard it just now. Madam Duan suddenly caught a cold.

"I've never heard that Nanny Duan was afraid of the cold and uncomfortable in winter. She didn't get sick from the complicated and busy process of moving the palace. How come she got sick a day in advance after the women of the Mei family entered the palace?

“Once the incident with Wu Jin happened, as long as Xiao Yuan died, the clues would be cut off; for the sake of my reputation as a concubine, even if I don’t punish you and His Majesty doesn’t punish you, the Empress will rush over to punish you in order to sow discord between you and me.

“Although we know this and won’t become estranged from each other, you will naturally not visit Concubine Rong when you are in trouble and unable to take care of yourself.

“As for me, with the incident involving Wu Jin, my focus will unconsciously shift away from Rong Fei.

"——Besides, I guess something bad will happen soon in Rong Fei's family and mine.

"By then, she will definitely not be able to keep this baby."

Geng Simiao was terrified when he heard this. He held the handkerchief tightly in front of his chest with both hands and asked in a trembling voice: "Then, what should we do?!"

"Before entering the palace, I had already ordered people to close the gate of Qinghui Pavilion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. So the person who wanted to harm her must not be in this palace.

"I have also asked Jing Li to find someone outside, so don't worry, there will be good news."

Wang Xifeng finished speaking in a deep voice and looked towards the ear room with a serious look.

Wu Jin's aura was getting weaker and weaker.

What kind of poison is it that is so powerful?

As soon as she thought of this, Ruer came rushing in and reported to her, "There is no trace of poison in the bowl.

“The imperial physician said that when he was shaving Wu Jin’s feet, he found that the soles of its feet seemed to be contaminated with some toxins.

"I'm afraid Wu Jin swallowed the poison while washing his face after dinner!"

Geng Simiao jumped up in fright, looking at the bed curtains against the wall, the ground around him, and even the boxes and cabinets around him. Cold sweat broke out and he stammered:

"This, this room, Wu Jindu, has stepped on it all..."

However, Wang Xifeng did not look at these places, but looked up at the top cabinet with her eyes narrowed.

After eating, Wu Jin would not wash his face in front of people. He should jump up first and find a place he thinks is the safest and most suitable to watch the show, and then lie down to wash his face!

Just as he was about to tell someone to go up and check, a voice outside suddenly announced:

"The Emperor has arrived!"
