"This incense is only useful for young children or extremely weak adults. It can cause nightmares. If used for a long time, people will become weak or...or insane." Doctor Yang said tremblingly: "This is made from southern Yunnan. Made from a poisonous mushroom, it is not a very poisonous thing, and it is not fatal if eaten, but if used for a long time, it will destroy people unconsciously... "
Such a method is more unconscious than poisoning directly.
"Based on the symptoms of the Ninth Prince, it seems that this poison stopped after being used for a while. Because this poison is not a common thing, and there is no obvious substance that can cause changes in people, so it is difficult to detect and guard against."
"Very good, does that mean that my ninth prince was almost destroyed?" Qi Yixiu sneered: "Let's check. Except for the Queen Mother, Concubine Jing, Concubine Shun, and Concubine Li, no one else in the palace is allowed to be spared. Give it to me Search carefully." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
"Search every corner of this palace for me. Don't miss any place."
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I was shocked. This was a big movement.
I was too busy to respond and took the people out.
When the harem heard the emperor's order to search the palace, they didn't dare to say anything no matter how dissatisfied they were.
That's all for others, but Concubine Qian Shu and Concubine Jin were not exempted from high positions.
The emperor had forgotten about Concubine Jin. As for Concubine Qianshu, it was impossible not to search for her.
After all, it was Empress Dowager Feng who left her as a demon. If she didn't interrogate Concubine Qianshu directly, it would mean that the emperor believed her incompetence.
It can be regarded as giving face to the second prince.
As for Concubine Shun, she had always been honest, and the emperor still believed in her.
Concubine Jing is the victim and someone whom the emperor currently trusts, as is Concubine Li.
Others, believe it or not, do not deserve a word from the emperor.
However, fortunately, because Shen Chuliu was almost stung by a poisonous scorpion, all the palaces had checked by themselves before, and some unsightly things were disposed of.
Otherwise, I don’t know what I’ll find in the search this time.
Searching the palace is not a trivial matter. Basically, people from Taiji Palace and the Internal Criminal Division search together. In order to facilitate the work with more people, thirty people from Fengzao Palace were transferred.
No one else would have had the chance.
In Fuyang Palace, Concubine Qian Shu was sitting there with a livid face. She had just said that, but unfortunately, she could not stop the emperor's oral instructions.
The palace maid kept trying to persuade her, but she finally stopped getting angry.
It's just that she feels extremely uncomfortable. When did she fall to this point
When the people searching the palace were about to leave, she stood up suddenly: "Since I want to search here, why did I let Fengzao Palace go? Why didn't Concubine Shun, Concubine Jing and Concubine Li not need to be searched? Your Majesty is favoring one over the other!"
Laba paused: "Concubine Qian Shu, please calm down. This is the emperor's order."
"The emperor is too partial! Even if the queen can not check other people?" Concubine Qianshu was very angry: "Is this palace particularly easy to bully?"
Laba took a step forward, still smiling, but speaking a lot more forcefully: "Concubine Qianshu. This is the emperor's oral order. If the empress is dissatisfied, you may wish to speak to the emperor. I am just a eunuch and cannot be the master. This is a big deal. If the empress insists on blocking it and something happens, I'm afraid she has something to do with it. "
Concubine Qianshu was stunned, filled with anger as if she had been blown out of breath, and could not say a word.
When Laba saw that she was silent, he bowed again and said, "Concubine Qianshu, please rest. The servants have to go elsewhere. I take my leave."
After a long time, Concubine Qianshu held the maid's hand and sat on the soft couch.
In fact, she has always known that the Feng family is in ruins, and she only has the title of Concubine Qian Shu, and it is no longer in the past.
But she has always refused to admit defeat, just thinking that she is still the second prince's biological mother after all. After all, besides the queen, she is the person with the highest status in the harem.
But just now, she suddenly realized that the reason why she still had this status was because the emperor didn't want to kill everyone.
Whether in the eyes of the slaves or in the eyes of everyone in the harem, she was no longer the concubine Feng Shu she used to be. She just...
Is it just because the emperor is pitiful
She didn't know that there were people left behind by Empress Dowager Feng in what happened this time, but she knew that she had no privileges at all with the Emperor.
When she was young, she looked down on the queen, thinking that the queen was from the imperial court, but she was not of my race, and the emperor would not like her.
But does it matter whether the emperor likes it or not
Even if he doesn't like it, the emperor trusts the queen. The emperor leaves the harem to the queen without any scruples. The queen can do anything within her rights.
The emperor will not be angry if he occasionally crosses that limit.
She also once despised the fact that the queen could not give birth to a prince. What was the use of having only one princess
But now, she also understands that the queen does not have a prince, but because the queen does not have a prince, she is more free and carefree.
Naturally, she looked down on Concubine Shun, she was just an unloved idiot.
But how much love does she have? It's long gone. How many times has the emperor come here in the past ten years? In fact, how much better than Shun Fei? Now the emperor trusts Concubine Shun, but he doesn't trust himself...
And Concubine Jing and Concubine Li, even if they were favored, she felt it was only temporary.
Is it really temporary
They all have princes, they all stand in high positions, and they all have the emperor's trust.
She looked dejectedly at the sunlight outside, and never felt as old as she did now.
It's not that people are getting old, it's that their hearts are getting old.
She also had to admit her failure.
When I was young, I had nothing to do with the queen. Now, I have nothing to do with the other concubines.
The only hope is the second prince.
The people who searched the palace did not dare to rest, but the palace was too big.
It's okay to be in a high position like Concubine Qian Shu, but the talented Xiao Yi Baolin and others below are just crying without tears. In order to be quick, they searched all over the place, but no one dared to say anything.
At night, Qingzhi Pavilion was found. For the sake of convenience, Chen Xiaoyi and Shen Changyi stood outside and asked people to search.
I also knew it wouldn't look good.
Fortunately, they didn't find anything here.
Chen Xiaoyi said jealously: "You are lucky to have your sister." After saying that, she entered the house angrily.
Shen Changyi went in and took a look. Sure enough, her place was searched quite neatly.
To this day, I really have to sigh, it is indeed because of Concubine Jing.
"I don't know what's going on with Concubine Jing. The emperor doesn't allow me to visit, and Concubine Jing doesn't want to see me either." She sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, you can still go to Tai Chi Palace. You must be fine. Don't worry about changing your clothes." Gingo said as he packed his things.
Shen Gengyi sighed again: "It's really dangerous to be in a high position. I used to only know that I wanted to go up, but I didn't know... that it wouldn't be easy either."
She said this in a low voice, so Bai Guo pretended not to hear clearly and refused to answer.
I thought that I understood it well when I changed my clothes, but unfortunately... there was no room for two high-ranking Shen family members in the palace.
