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

To prevent the princess from burning, the maid stirred the ginseng soup with a spoon while fanning the ginseng soup with a fan to speed up the cooling of the ginseng soup.

When the heat of the ginseng soup dropped a little and became just right in the mouth, the maid put down the spoon and fan, picked up the ginseng soup and left the kitchen.

Xiao Xixi pinched the spoon, slowly stirred the chicken soup, and continued to ask.

"Did you stir the ginseng soup like this?"

The maid nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

In order to restore the scene at that time to the greatest extent, Xiao Xixi brought another fan.

She stirred the chicken soup while shaking the fan.

When the temperature of the chicken soup dropped and became less hot, Xiao Xixi 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 on the bowl like this?"

The maid first recalled, then nodded: "Yes."

After stirring the soup, tapping 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 small move.

until……

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

Everyone present was shocked.

Luo Yechen asked, "Is it the same poison as in ginseng soup?"

The doctor nodded and said yes.

The housekeeper explained in a hurry.

"This chicken soup was stewed in the kitchen this morning to nourish the princess after giving birth to her baby.

Because the ginseng soup was poisoned, in order to avoid the same situation again, I specially prepared two people to try the dishes for the kitchen.

All foods must be tasted first after they are released from the pot.

The same is true for this bowl of chicken soup, there is no problem in trying it out!"

The doctor in the government had also checked in front of everyone before. This bowl of chicken soup was originally non-toxic.

So what the butler said is credible.

Luo Yechen couldn't wait to ask.

"What the hell is going on?"

Luo Qinghan already understood in his heart that the problem lies in that spoon.

From the first time the chicken soup was confirmed to be non-toxic, and then the second time the chicken soup was found to be toxic, Xixi only touched the bowl of chicken soup with a spoon.

As expected.

Xiao Xixi shook the small and exquisite red jade spoon.

"Because this spoon is poisonous."

The doctor in the government hurriedly said, "But I've checked it before, and the spoon is not poisonous."

Xiao Xixi: "Are there any silver needles?"

"Some." The doctor of the government opened the medical box he carried with him, took out the needle bag from it, and took out a slender silver needle.

Xiao Xixi took the silver needle.

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

When she pulled out the silver needle, she found that there was a light red substance at the tip of the needle.

She signaled everyone to come and take a look.

Everyone immediately came over.

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

The doctor of the government took the silver needle and checked it carefully.

"This looks like beeswax."

Xiao Xixi gave an affirmative reply: "Yes, it's beeswax."

Luo Yechen still looked confused: "What does this have to do with the poisoning of chicken soup?"

Luo Qinghan had already guessed the truth of the matter.

"Someone used beeswax to seal the poison here."

He said, gently tapping the handle of the spoon with his fingers.

There are several hollows at the handle of the spoon.

Some people hid poisons in these small hollow holes and sealed them with beeswax.

Xiao Xixi picked up the spoon and stirred slowly in the chicken soup, explaining at the same time.

"The ginseng soup was very hot when it was scooped out, and a lot of heat would rise up. The beeswax would melt when it was heated. After the maid had stirred, she put the spoon on the bowl and knocked it... "

She placed the spoon on the edge of the bowl and knocked it gently.

The glass bowl then made a crisp sound.

"The poison hidden in the hole will fall out and fall into the ginseng soup. The maid who completed all this was not aware of it. She left the kitchen with the poisonous ginseng soup and sent it to the princess for taking it."

When the maid next to him heard this, her face turned pale as paper.

She almost became the murderer who killed the princess!

She knelt down in a hurry and cried, "I don't know that this spoon has been attacked by someone. *** Maid never thought of harming the princess and the little boy, please spare your life!"

Xiao Xixi said, "You don't have to be too nervous. If it weren't for you, I might not have discovered the truth."

The maid was stunned and stared at her in a daze.

Xiao Xixi explained: "Because when you were holding the spoon, your fingers were leaning down, blocking a hole in the spoon handle, so that the poison inside could not fall out. It was precisely because of the remaining poison that my experiment was successful."

Perhaps the poisoned person did not expect such an accident to occur.

Most people will pinch the top part when they take a spoon.

But this maid is different. She habitually goes down a little bit so that the spoon can be pinched more stably and not slip easily, but the posture will not look very good and appear a bit clumsy.

Luo Yechen originally wanted to severely punish the maid who almost poisoned the princess to death, but after hearing this, he could only change his mind.

Forget it, she was also implicated, and it was not her fault.

The housekeeper said: "This spoon is a gift from a foreign merchant. The merchant specializes in jade business. He came to the royal palace to give gifts, one to show kindness to the prince, and the other to be able to advertise the jade sold by his family in the Shengjing Daily."

Since the Shengjing Daily became popular in Shengjing City, someone soon discovered some business opportunities, one of which was advertising.

Of course, they didn't know the word advertising at the beginning because Xiao Xixi said the word advertising. King Ying thought it was quite appropriate, so he used it. When others heard King Ying mentions advertisements, they spread the word.

Now a small section has been specially set up in Shengjing Daily to publish advertisements.

These advertisements can not only bring popularity to merchants, but also facilitate the people in Shengjing City and generate income for newspapers.

Three wins in one go!

It is precisely because of the good advertising effect of newspapers that more and more businesses are coming to the news, hoping to publish advertisements in newspapers.

"Shengjing Daily" does not accept all advertisements. It needs to be screened to confirm that the content of the advertisement is true and the merchant has good reputation before it can be published.

Even with strict scrutiny, there are still many merchants publishing advertisements, and now they are already three months later.

In order to be able to go to the lineup, some businesses will post advertisements in advance and come to the newspaper with gifts in private, but some of them are more courageous and will go directly to the King of England.

The jade merchant mentioned by the housekeeper is obviously the one with more courage.

When the merchant came to the palace, King Ying was still in Wanhai City. Princess Ying was too lazy to deal with him, so she asked the housekeeper to receive him.

The butler listened to his intention to explain his purpose and politely rejected his request.
