When I take my pulse, I feel a thump...
Oh my God, I'm poisoned!
"Back to the emperor, Shen Cairen was poisoned. Because the poison hurt the intestines and stomach, the fever did not go away. Fortunately, the poison was not too much, and the doctor treated him well, so there is no serious problem."
"Show that thing to Dr. Zhao." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Yuanxiao moved quickly and brought the rice and chicken soup.
Doctor Zhao examined them one by one.
"Back to the Emperor, the medicine in these two things is the same. They are both... arsenic. Because the amount is small, it may not be easy to detect if you only use a silver needle to test the same."
"You are really well-intentioned." Shen Chuliu sneered: "I have always loved soup, and as for this rice, it is naturally indispensable. Even if I have no appetite and does not eat vegetables, I will definitely drink a few sips of the soup. This It’s really life-threatening.”
"Okay, I'll make the decision for you. Don't get angry." Qi Yixiu smiled. Not only was Shen not ferocious when he was angry, but it actually made him feel quite provocative.
Tsk.
"How is she doing?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Returning to the emperor, fortunately Shen Cairen is young. Although this poison is powerful, the amount is small and has not had time to hurt the lungs. It only needs good medical treatment. However, it will hurt the stomach and intestines after all. Within three months, Shen Cairen should pay attention to his diet. . Don’t catch the cold. It will be fine after March.”
"Since you said so, I will hand over her body to you. If she cannot recover after three months, I will hold you accountable." Qi Yixiu said.
"I obey the order." Dr. Zhao said in his heart that he should pay attention to this. This person is more favored than he thought.
However, the imperial doctor could only listen to a small part of what he said.
Shen Caieren's condition is not serious and can be cured within a month. His stomach is the easiest to recover from.
Concubine Yi and Song Zhaoyi were frightened when they heard that Shen Cairen was poisoned.
When they hurried to Cuiyunxuan, they saw the emperor sitting with a dark face. Neither of them was called up after paying their respects.
"Concubine Yi, Song Zhaoyi, you two are in charge of palace affairs. Such a big thing happened in the palace, what do you say?"
Concubine Yi and Song Zhaoyi looked at each other, unable to speak for a moment.
"Get up and talk." Qi Yixiu said calmly.
Concubine Yi thought about it: "I have neglected my duty. I never expected that there would be such a bold person in the harem. How is Shen Cairen?"
"Alive." Qi Yixiu said calmly.
Concubine Yi felt really uncomfortable. She had always been the most favored one, whether in the house or the palace, and had never been surpassed so far.
But now that Shen is poisoned, the emperor actually... doesn't care about her face
"Your Majesty, I, my concubine, should go and see Sister Shen first." Song Zhaoyi said carefully.
"You don't have to read it. I know that this matter was not done by you two. I order you to investigate. If you can't find out in five days, you can go to the Queen's Palace to plead guilty."
Qi Yixiu looked at the steward of the imperial dining room who was waiting outside: "The same goes for you. If you find out in five days, I will reward you with a slap in the face. If you can't find out, go to the Criminal Division. People from Cuiyunxuan, Except for the one brought by Shen Cairen's family, the others will be sent to the Criminal Division immediately after they are found out. Yao Baolin will be detained until they are investigated."
Shen Chuliu propped himself up: "Your Majesty."
"Huh?" Qi Yixiu looked at her.
"I dare to protect the people who are my concubines, but I am reluctant to let them suffer punishment."
"On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, tell the Criminal Division that the people in front of Shen Cairen are not allowed to be severely punished, and their appearance, hands and feet are not allowed to be injured. But they must be investigated." Qi Yixiu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu sighed: "Zizhu, go ahead. I know I must have wronged you. But no one dares to say a word to you for suffering this time."
Zi Zhu knelt down and said, "Don't worry, I'm just a slave. If you can bear it, we can all bear it." She kowtowed and went out.
"Your Majesty has also made arrangements. It's getting late. I think the Emperor will come to court early tomorrow. I was so angry just now that I ignored it. Your Majesty, please go back and rest first. Anyone who harms others can't escape."
"Well, I will go back first. You all should go back too." Qi Yixiu said warmly: "Take good care of her. Don't worry, I will give you justice."
"Yes, I would like to thank the Emperor. I really can't stand any longer, so I won't send them to the Emperor. I won't send them to Concubine Yi and Song Zhaoyi either."
"Don't be too polite, just go and have a rest." Song Zhaoyi said.
He stood and watched the emperor, Concubine Yi and Song Zhaoyi leave.
Shen Chuliu changed his unsteady behavior just now.
It's okay to pretend to be strong, but it's also okay to not be that hurt.
"Talent..." Zi Rui was frightened by this battle.
"It's okay, go and ask Yao Baolin." Shen Chuliu sat down and said.
Now, there are only three people left in Cuiyunxuan.
Of course, someone else will be waiting for you soon. Until they come back, there will be no shortage of people here.
Yao Baolin was also frightened, and his face turned pale: "How are you, Chu Liu?"
"I'm fine, but I didn't expect it to be such a big deal, and your personal maid also entered the Criminal Division."
"It's okay, as long as you are innocent and live your life, it's okay." Yao Baolin sighed: "It's okay to have such crazy people in the harem!"
"If you dare to poison me, I've probably already found a way out. I'm afraid I won't be able to find out the real owner." Shen Chuliu sighed: "It's just that you and my slaves have suffered."
"As long as you are here, nothing big will happen to them. Let's reward them when they come back." Yao Baolin said.
She stayed for a while longer before leaving.
Zi Rui's eyes turned red: "Is it possible that someone is really betraying the master?"
"Silly girl, this is because the emperor suspects me of taking poison to frame others. How dare I betray my master? There are only five slaves, and one of them is you. I am being favored now, who is crazy enough to betray my master?" Shen Chuliu sighed. .
"What...how could the emperor doubt you? How could you take poison yourself?" Zi Rui felt as if her world view was shattered.
"You, you, this is the harem. What can't happen? Others can harm me, but I can't harm others with my favor? Why can't the emperor doubt me?" Shen Chuliu smiled.
Zi Rui helped her into the inner room and lay down: "But... but the emperor is so directed at you, why are you still doubting it?"
She felt that now that her talents were so favored, how could the emperor still be suspicious
"You are stupid. You are really stupid. Is it possible that I still have a deep relationship with the emperor? If you think so, I will have a hard time in the future."
"Then...then why did the emperor keep the slave? If it was really you who did it yourself, wouldn't the slave be the most important to keep in mind?" Zi Rui's mind was spinning.
"This is the favor the emperor has given me these past few months. I really did it myself. If you don't investigate, why can't you find out? If you can hide it from others, how can you hide it from Zi Zhu? I plead for them because I can't bear their suffering. , It’s just a show. I can’t say that I know the emperor’s thoughts, can you? People in the folk have their own thoughts. What’s more, I’m just a concubine of the Tian family.”
Chuliu: Oh, what do you love or not...
Qi Yixiu: Oh, what do you love or not...
Other concubines: Your Majesty, I love you...
