Chapter 281 Murder

The thick rice fragrance penetrated into Jun Jiuning's nose from a distance. She turned over and got out of the bed, took off the outer robe from the wooden frame beside her, walked around the glass screen inside and outside the partition, and walked to the table.

Tao Ran and the little maid put the tray in their hands on the table together. Jun Jiuning saw the things on it clearly, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on her face: chicken sauce brown rice porridge, fried vegetables, meat lotus root fried croquettes, and refreshing pickles, all of which she likes!

Who is so considerate that she gave her so many delicious food early in the morning to wake her up?

But her eyes turned and saw the bowl Tao Ran was holding...

It's a black medicine juice.

Jun Jiuning's somewhat dull nose then felt a hint of bitterness contained in the fragrance of the rice.

Why did I bring her medicine in the early morning?

Seeing Jun Jiuning's face showing a little resistance, Tao Ran explained: "The princess blew the cold wind last night after getting drunk. I guess she would feel a little typhoid. This bowl of medicinal soup can sober up and drive away the cold. Let's have breakfast after drinking it."

Jun Jiuning discussed with him in a nice voice: "I've drunk this medicine and my mouth is full of bitterness. I can't have the appetite to eat breakfast. It's better to eat breakfast first, and it's not too late to drink medicine."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks happily and wanted to pick up the crispy and delicious croquettes.

But Tao Ran smiled plainly and pressed Jun Jiuning's disobedient hand: "Princess, hangover hurts the body, this medicine can nourish the stomach. For your health, it's better to drink this first."

He picked up the bowl of medicine and stuffed it into Jun Jiuning's hand hanging in the air.

"And this medicine is not as bitter as you think. I added licorice and hawthorn, and added some honey to it."

Jun Jiuning took a sip and took a sip. He tasted it carefully before he could taste a little bitterness.

Her eyes looked at Tao Ran and immediately became respectful.

Jun Jiuning drank the medicine soup in one go, and showed a drop of medicine soup to Tao Ranliang, and the bottom of the snow-white bowl: "Can you eat these things?"

Tao Ran made a "please" gesture.

Seeing Jun Jiuning having breakfast happily, Tao Ran suddenly asked, "The princess is so afraid of hardship. I guess she was very uncomfortable when I took medicine before?"

Jun Jiuning thought for a while: "The good medicine is bitter."

Tao Ran smiled: "Then in the future, when I prepare the medicine for the princess, I will make the taste of this medicine more delicious without affecting the properties of the medicine."

Jun Jiuning couldn't help laughing as he listened to his words: "No need. If taking medicine no longer becomes a painful thing, then everyone will not cherish their bodies because they are afraid of taking medicine."

Jun Jiuning remembered that when she was young, she was in a welfare home. She had many children and had nothing to eat. If she was sick, the dean would give her Western medicine.

The pills were covered with sugar coats on the outside. When Jun Jiuning ate it for the first time, she tasted the sweetness and held the pills. It was not until the sugar coat was melted that she realized that the taste inside was so bitter and smelly.

Jun Jiuning was still very young, so he knew: medicine is not a good thing.

So later she hated to cherish her body and exercise hard. After being admitted to the police academy, she never missed training and rarely got sick.

Tao Ran said again: "Then it seems that the princess was not sick in the past, right?"

Jun Jiuning was immersed in his memories, and suddenly was pulled back to reality by his words, so he replied casually: "Yes."

Tao Ran said nothing, then turned around and retreated after taking the medicine bowl. Before leaving, he told Jun Jiuning: "The poison in the emperor's body, whether Qiu Shuizhi can be solved, I believe there will be an answer soon."

Jun Jiuning swallowed the porridge in his mouth and hurriedly said, "Yeah, I'm working hard."

After Tao Ran left, Jun Jiuning asked the little maid again, "Have you been here last night?"

The little maid said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is in the yard of the young general, and you haven't left yet."

Jun Jiuning thought for a while: "They should be about to go to court. In this way, go and tell the prince, and ask him to come over after going to court. I have something to ask him to help."

The little maid was blessed and went out to pass the message.

Jun Jiuning sat at the table and couldn't help but rub her temples: "Did I say nonsense last night?"

Why did she vaguely remember what she said? Everyone looked at her and laughed, but she still had the same teasing look.

Also, how did she come back?

Wen Fei?

Jun Qingli?

She won't vomit them anymore!

No, Wen Fei didn't come here early in the morning today. Either he got drunk last night and offended him crazy, or... he might really vomit him.

She wailed immediately, lowered her head and leaned on the table, her forehead against the edge of the table, and said annoyedly: "It's so embarrassing!"

"Who is thrown away?"

Wen Fei's voice suddenly sounded above his head. Jun Jiuning suddenly pulled himself out of the table and widened his eyes: "Why are you here!"

Wen Fei pointed at himself strangely: "Why can't I be here!"

He pointed to the things on the table again: "Don't you eat these things? Didn't the maid tell you that I went out temporarily?"

Jun Jiuning smiled embarrassedly: "So you prepared these... I said why are they all I love to eat..."

Wen Fei snorted coldly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince told me to arrest someone early in the morning, so I couldn't come to serve you personally. What's wrong?"

Jun Jiuning suddenly felt shocked. He didn't dare to mention what happened last night, for fear that he would be shady: "It's nothing, what kind of person Qingli asked you to catch? Is this urgent?"

"A palace maid who slipped out of Qingyun Palace last night went to the imperial tomb. Then today her body appeared in..." Wen Fei glanced at Jun Jiuning, as if it was difficult to speak, "He appeared in front of your tomb."

Jun Jiuning: "Ah?!"

Yesterday, Jun Qingli sent someone to hold a huge "birthday festival" for Jun Jiuning in the imperial tomb, and Eunuch Liu, the most beloved by Emperor Wen, was also present.

Jun Qingli just went over and showed her face, then made an excuse to leave, and came to Xie's house to celebrate Jun Jiuning's birthday.

He deliberately left Qiuyue in the palace and Yunhe in the imperial tomb. He seemed to have expected someone to take the opportunity to do something shameful, so he asked them to pay attention to people who are abnormal in Qingyun Palace and those who are trying to make trouble on the imperial tomb.

Sure enough, Qiuyue caught a sneaky palace maid.

But Qiuyue was a woman after all, and she was not experienced enough, so she lost her as soon as she followed her and later sent a message to the secret guards and asked them to continue looking for someone.

After searching for most of the night, no one was found. Eunuch Liu knelt in front of the imperial tomb "Jun Jiuning's Tomb" for a night. On the second day, he got up and turned around and tripped by a corpse. He was shocked and almost scared to death.

Jun Qingli's people went over to check and found that it was the palace maid who ran out of Qingyun Palace last night!

More importantly, by checking the life experience of the palace maid, they found that this person had had at least three interactions with the maids around Concubine Su of the Ning Prince's Mansion.
