Ah Cai looked at Luo Lan with puzzled eyes and asked in a low voice:
"Princess, who could this person be?"
"I don't know, that's why I have to look into this matter."
After she finished speaking, she said to Ah Cai:
"Call the two maids from the kitchen."
A Cai did not dare to delay and ran quickly to the kitchen.
After a while, the two old women came to Luo Lan.
Luo Lan looked at the two of them and asked sternly,
"Who made the porridge in Dazhi's room this morning?"
Mrs. Zhang replied hurriedly:
"Yes...I endured it."
"What's in there?"
"I put...millet and water, and a little rock sugar as the princess instructed. Nothing else."
Luo Lan tightened his expression and asked again:
“After the porridge was cooked, who did you give it to?”
"I gave it to Xiao Ma. He brings porridge to Dazhi every day."
pony?
It was Xiao Ma who delivered the porridge and took the porridge bowls.
It seems that this pony is the most suspicious.
Although these two cooking maids were the old ladies left behind by Prince Yu's Mansion, they had not done anything out of the ordinary during this period of time. Although Luo Lan had some doubts about them, they did not look like they had done anything wrong.
So, she waved her hand and said, "You guys go back!"
The biggest suspicion now lies with Xiao Ma. She said to Gang:
"Call the pony here alone."
After Agang responded, he hurried to call Xiao Ma.
Dazhi was poisoned in Prince Yu's mansion. This matter cannot be taken lightly. If it is not investigated thoroughly, who knows who will be poisoned next time.
Therefore, even if Huichuntang was closed for three days, she would still get to the bottom of this matter.
After a while, Xiao Ma came to Luo Lan and she bowed to him.
"Princess, call me here. What do you want me to do?"
Luo Lan stood up, walked slowly, and circled around him. Xiao Ma swallowed nervously.
Luo Lan walked around to him and said to him with a serious expression:
"Lift your head."
Her voice was so majestic that no one dared to underestimate her.
The pony raised his head timidly and looked at her nervously.
Luo Lan looked straight into his eyes and asked word by word:
"How long have you been in the mansion?"
"One month."
"Is your salary too little?"
Xiao Ma hurriedly shook his head, "No, when Butler Agang came to me, he told me that the salary at Prince Yu's Mansion is higher than other families, but he wants me to work hard."
"very good."
Luo Lan half-closed her eyes and looked at him. Although Xiao Ma looked a little nervous, he was not panicked. If he had done something wrong, he would not dare to look at her under her gaze, and his expression would definitely not be like this.
So, she raised her hand to support her chin and pondered for a while, then asked,
"Did anything unusual happen this morning when you went to the kitchen to get and deliver the porridge?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ma hurriedly knelt down and said, "Princess, no, nothing happened. Since I came to the mansion, I have been working diligently and I dare not neglect it for even a moment."
Looking down from above, Luo Lan looked at the pony kneeling on the ground and said word by word:
"Did you know that the bowl of porridge you sent to Dazhi's room was poisoned?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ma suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, and sweat dripped down his forehead.
He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead and replied timidly:
"Princess, I am innocent. I dare not poison you. I don't have the guts. I have an elderly mother at home who needs my care. How could I dare to do such a wicked thing?"
Luo Lan squatted down and asked in a stern voice in front of him:
"I didn't say you poisoned him, but if this matter can't be investigated, you can't escape responsibility, so you'd better tell the truth. Did you see anything unusual when you went from the kitchen to Dazhi's room?"
Xiao Ma's lips trembled. He pursed his lips and whispered:
"Yes, I just got some porridge this morning, and for some reason, I suddenly felt a stomachache. Just then, Xiao Feng came over. I was in a hurry to go to the toilet, so I asked him to help me deliver the porridge to Xiao Liu who was waiting outside Dazhi's room."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's eyes tightened, she stood up straight and shouted sternly:
"Why didn't you say it just now?"
Xiao Ma hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I was afraid that the princess would say I was too good at my job and kick me out of the palace, so...that's why I didn't dare to say it."
Luo Lan's mouth twitched, and he asked in a cold voice:
"Am I such an unreasonable person in the eyes of you servants?"
"I dare not."
Xiao Ma kowtowed hurriedly. "After Dazhi's condition worsened, Xiao Feng came to me in a hurry. He said I couldn't tell the princess about this, otherwise the princess would definitely suspect that I was not doing my job well and couldn't even deliver a bowl of porridge properly. She might even kick me out of the palace."
Hearing this, Luo Lan shouted angrily to A Gang and A Hou:
"Get Xiao Feng here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Agang hurried off to look for someone.
After a while, he came back alone, "Princess, Xiao Feng is missing. The servant who lived with him said that he left just now."
After hearing this, Luo Lan became even more certain that there must be something wrong with this Xiao Feng.
So, she raised her brows slightly and said to Ah Hou and Zhang Yuan:
"Go chase him for me. No matter where he goes, bring him back to me."
How could she let him go if he dared to come to her Prince Yu's mansion to poison her?
Zhang Yuan and the Empress did not dare to delay and quickly left the house to chase Xiao Feng.
Luo Lan sat in Huichun Hall, staring at the door with a pair of crystal eyes.
Who is trying to kill Dazhi? Who has Dazhi offended? Why are people repeatedly trying to kill him?
