Views:

It was not surprising that Xia Huanyu Yunshang would be disturbed by such a big commotion, so she just responded, then straightened her clothes and left the inner hall.

Xia Huanyu stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, and turned his head when he heard footsteps, his eyes swept across Yunshang, and he said straight away: "Is something wrong with the emperor?"

Yun Shang bit her lip and nodded: "It's poison, the poison of Suinan."

Xia Huanyu frowned: "If Sui Nan's poison has medicinal materials, it will not be difficult to detoxify. What does the imperial doctor say?"

Yun Chang fell silent.

Xia Huanyu suddenly understood: "There are no medicinal materials in the palace? What flavor is missing?"

"all."

Xia Huanyu frowned slightly: "What are you going to do?"

"I have already sent people out of the palace to invite the ghost doctor. At the same time, I will also send people to search for the three herbs in the city. If there is no one in Jincheng, I will expand the search area."

Xia Huanyu pursed his lips, and didn't get entangled in this matter any longer, but continued: "What about the court? If the news of the emperor's poisoning is spread, the court will definitely be in chaos. Then, how will you deal with it? "

"For the time being, I only declare to the outside world that your Majesty occasionally feels cold and is in a bad health. As long as you survive these two days and wait for the poison on your Majesty to be cured, you will be fine." Yun Shang looked calm.

"What if the emperor's poison cannot be cured?"

"Your Majesty will definitely be fine." Yun Shang straightened her back: "Even if something happened to His Majesty, there is still Chengye, Chengye is His Majesty's eldest son, so naturally he should take the heavy responsibility. My daughter-in-law will also spare no effort land, to ensure that the Xia Kingdom’s court is not chaotic, and the country is not moved.”

Xia Huanyu gave Yun Shang a meaningful look when he heard what Yun Shang said.

"The country of Xia doesn't need a Ningguo person to protect it."

Yun Chang lowered her eyes, covered her eyes to sneer, and said lightly: "My daughter-in-law has no intention of being in the country of Xia. If my daughter-in-law wants to, the position of Ningguo's empress dowager is at her fingertips."

After that, he repeated it again: "Your Majesty will never have anything to do, please rest assured, the Supreme Emperor."

"That's good." Xia Huanyu responded casually, turned and left.

Waiting for Xia Huanyu to go away, Yunshang staggered twice and sat down on the chair.

"Your Majesty!" The palace attendant at the side exclaimed and stepped forward quickly.

Yun Shang waved her hand, her expression was full of tiredness: "I'm fine."

Yun Shang sat for a while, then raised her eyes: "Just now, the palace let the imperial doctor leave, and then sent someone to invite him over, carefully inspect the food on the table, and see where the poison is. .”

The imperial doctor was invited back before he returned to the imperial hospital, and the four of them looked around the table carefully for a long time before they said: "Madam, the ministers carefully inspected the meals on the table, and did not find Sui Nan among them. The poison of Suinan, but found that several medicinal materials used to make the poison of Suinan were scattered in the two dishes."

"Sweet-scented osmanthus fish and sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Yun Shang squinted her eyes: "Osmanthus fish, osmanthus cake..."

"Come here, detain everyone who has been in contact with the two dishes!"

"Your Majesty..." Without waiting for the palace servants to respond, Liu Wen'an, who was standing aside, said, "Your Majesty can't."

Yun Chang turned to look at Liu Wen'an: "Why not?"

"Now the matter of His Majesty's poisoning needs to be kept absolutely secret. If the matter is leaked out, it will inevitably cause chaos. After His Majesty was poisoned, the empress sent people to arrest most of the people serving in Weiyang Palace in the side hall, and asked people to surround Weiyang Palace. After getting up, no one is allowed to enter and exit easily, and then four imperial physicians were invited to enter Weiyang Palace twice... "

"These actions are already very eye-catching. If the empress asks people to arrest all the palace people who have been exposed to these two dishes, I am afraid that the matter of His Majesty's poisoning will not be concealed."

Yun Chang slowly closed her eyes, and opened them again after a while, her voice was also a little hoarse: "It's Ben Gong who is confused."

Liu Wen'an hurriedly said: "If your mother cares about it, there will be chaos."

Yun Shang sat down on the chair again, closed her eyes, raised her hands and kneaded her temples, forcing herself to calm down.

No one in the hall spoke, and after a while, Yunshang opened his eyes: "Osmanthus fish and osmanthus cake?"

Yun Shang repeated it, and sat up straight suddenly: "Go, bring the sweet-scented osmanthus in the vase in my palace!"

The palace man hurriedly brought the sweet-scented osmanthus according to Yunshang's order, and Yunshang sniffed the sweet-scented osmanthus again, frowning: "Look, what's wrong with this sweet-scented osmanthus?"

Yun Chang said, and handed the sweet-scented osmanthus to the palace man, and the palace man handed it to the four imperial physicians.

The four imperial physicians took the sweet-scented osmanthus, each of them picked one, inspected it carefully for a while, and imitated Yun Chang's appearance, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

"Wei Chen... didn't find anything wrong." An imperial physician spoke first.

Yun Chang glanced at him and pursed her lips.

Immediately afterwards, two more imperial physicians shook their heads: "Weichen didn't find out either."

There was only the last imperial doctor left, with a hesitant expression on his face. Seeing Yun Shang's eyes on him, he took the remaining osmanthus branch and sniffed it carefully.

"Weichen feels that the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus seems a bit unusual."

"Oh?" Yun Shang asked in a hurry: "What's so unusual?"

"Weichen has always liked sweet-scented osmanthus, especially golden osmanthus. Although ordinary sweet-scented osmanthus has a strong aroma, the aroma of this sweet-scented osmanthus seems to be too strong."

The imperial doctor paused slightly: "This strong fragrance makes me feel that it seems to be using the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus to cover up something?"

Yun Shang pursed her lips tightly: "The flavors used in making Sui Nanzhi's poison are all common medicinal materials, which can be used as medicine, but they can also be used as ingredients, and there are several flavors, which are spices used in ordinary cooking. , and it will not arouse suspicion. But there is only one blind medicine, which is indispensable to control the poison of Suinan, but it is also the most difficult to conceal."

"It's Qu Huaixiang." The imperial physician whispered.

Yun Chang nodded: "It's Quhuaixiang. Quhuaixiang has a unique fragrance and is easy to be noticed by others. It's just that its fragrance is six or seven points like the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. The person who poisoned it used Quhuaixiang according to this characteristic of Quhuaixiang. On the sweet-scented osmanthus."

"In the early autumn, when every batch of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers bloomed, I would ask people to pick some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers to make sweet-scented osmanthus fish for His Majesty and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for this palace. That person may have noticed this, so he deliberately took advantage of it When the last batch of late osmanthus was in full bloom, I tried every means to put Qu Huaixiang on the osmanthus, thus achieving the purpose of poisoning Your Majesty."

Yun Shang bit her lips: "Actually, I have touched all the dishes on this table, but I have been immune to all kinds of poisons, so I escaped the catastrophe..."

Yun Chang's face was cold, and her eyes were full of sharpness: "I'm afraid that most of the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the Golden Osmanthus Garden have been smeared with Qu Huaixiang. The person who poisoned it is a big hand!"
