The Noble Consort’s Pet Empress

Chapter 37: ③⑦ Thorough investigation

Views:

Madam Wan was greatly stimulated by the frisky imperial concubine, her eyes widened suddenly, just when Shen Yuqing thought she was about to die suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, he didn't die, he just vomited blood.

The blood looked pale in color, now needless to say, everyone understood that Mrs. Wan was poisoned!

There was a commotion in the women's family, which attracted the Queen Mother's attention.

"What's the matter?" Madam Fu frowned slightly and came over to ask.

The nuns beside the empress dowager are not only very shameless in the palace, but even the wives dare not make trouble in front of her. Seeing this, he didn't dare to whisper any more, for fear of offending Mammy.

Concubine Mei concealed the gloating in her eyes, and reported the matter to Madam Fu with a worried face.

Mammy Fu frowned even more. It has been many years since there has been any poisoning at the palace banquet. I didn't expect that someone would dare to touch it!

"Have you invited the imperial physician?"

As soon as she finished asking, the female relatives over there shouted: "The imperial doctor is here! The imperial doctor is here! Hurry up, get out of the way!"

The imperial physician was having a banquet, but was suddenly dragged over by the young eunuch, almost unable to hold back his anger due to his age. He only had time to slow down, when the people around heard that Mrs. Wan had been poisoned, they were horrified, and some of them went out of their wits, and quickly took out the detoxification pill and fed it to Mrs. Wan.

Although this elixir may not be able to cure all poisons, no matter what kind of poison it is, temporarily suppressing the toxicity is not a problem.

Sure enough, Madam Wan's complexion returned to a little rosy after taking the detoxification pill.

The imperial doctor examined her pulse carefully, and now he didn't care about the difference between men and women, and just put a thin silk veil on her wrist to slightly separate the skin from touching.

After a while, the imperial doctor shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty has been poisoned by this poison for at least an hour, and the poison has completely flared up, so she can't speak. Just now I was so angry that I vomited blood again, I'm afraid..."

The implication is that he cannot be cured. Mrs. Wan probably won't be able to speak in her life, sorry.

Mrs. Wan's eyes widened, she looked at him in disbelief, and asked him what kind of poison it was, gesturing with both hands.

The old doctor's eyes were not good, and it took him a long time to understand: "If there is no accident, this should be 'Sorrowful Heart'."

I'm so worried, I can't complain.

If you get this poison, you will become dumb if you are mild, and you will die if you are severe. There is no medicine to cure it.

Madam Wan fell down on the body of the maid who was close to her in frustration. This poison was indeed the one she had given to Shen Yuqing!

Shen shi is really supernatural, not only avoiding her poison, but also pouring the poison on her. It is cruel enough to treat a person in the same way.

The situation here was naturally reported to the emperor at the first time. After hearing this, he didn't express anything, but nodded to show that he understood.

It was Miss Jinli who came forward and went for him.

"Madam Wan, don't worry, this servant will definitely find out the poisoner for you." She comforted her a few words, but Madam Wan did not get any comfort.

The poison fell on her, and all her previous preparations were useless, and instead, she might cause a commotion. She didn't think the emperor could investigate and deal with Concubine Shen Gui for her. Even if Concubine Shen Gui was really involved, it is estimated that the emperor would just find a dead ghost to smooth this matter out in the end.

She was really scared.

Mrs. Wan is afraid, but Concubine Mei is not. She enthusiastically "helped" Jin Li to find the real culprit. In her opinion, she had nothing to do with Mrs. Wan except Concubine Shen Gui.

If Mrs. Wan died, Princess Qingxi would definitely be Concubine Shen's daughter!

She thought so, and others naturally thought so too. But after thinking about it again, it felt wrong. Would Concubine Shen Gui do it so stupidly? When you know you are the most suspicious? But if it wasn't Shen Guifei, who could it be

Mrs. Wan has always kept herself aloof from the world, except Concubine Shen, there is no other person who has had a feud with her.

Unless... ... someone wants to use this to frame Concubine Shen Gui! If Madam Wan can be eliminated, it will be incidental.

All the people present were savages, their thoughts turned and turned, and they felt that they had grasped the truth, but they all remained silent. His Majesty the Emperor is not stupid, he will definitely find out the real culprit, there is no need for them to meddle.

The star-studded girl next to Concubine Shen arrived late.

Mingming had already inquired about the situation, but he wanted to pretend that he didn't know anything, and only when he got here did he hear what happened from everyone, and then he looked at Madam Wan worriedly: "Madam Wan, don't worry, this Poisons can’t be said to be cured, I heard that the concubine de concubine has in her hands the ten thousand poison pill prepared by the former pilgrimage doctor, which can cure hundreds of poisons.”

It's a pity that Concubine De will not take it out.

Su Qiaoxin wanted to keep the ten thousand poison pill for her own life, so how could she give it to Mrs. Wan? Man Xing's words were heartbreaking, while giving Madam Wan hope, while dragging Concubine De into the water. Regardless of whether the two of them will face each other as Man Xing wishes, if Concubine De does not give the detoxification pill, she will inevitably bear a reputation for not being generous enough.

Concubine De heard this sentence as soon as she walked over, she was so angry that her nose was almost crooked.

Concubine Ming is too deceitful!

She gritted her teeth secretly, but she had a helpless expression on her face: "My elixir can be detoxified once after taking it. I regret my life and have already eaten it. Now I am afraid that there is nothing left for Sister Wan."

As for whether she really ate it or faked it, it doesn't matter, anyway, in order not to show the truth, if she didn't eat it, she would eat it back today.

Man Xing gave her a meaningful look, but didn't say much.

Concubine De clenched her silver teeth even tighter, what does this look mean

"Okay." The queen stood up to smooth things over, "First help Madam Wan go back, and the imperial doctor goes back to prepare the antidote pills. Let's do our best."

Then, she gave orders one by one, and asked people to strictly investigate the meal problem at the palace banquet.

At this moment, she still doesn't know that the restless imperial concubine of her family is the one who poisoned her.

Mrs. Wan was missing, although it somewhat affected the atmosphere of the moon feast. But it didn't take long for the atmosphere to relax again.

After all, it wasn't that they were poisoned, so naturally they didn't care too much. Moreover, it was not so easy to think of being poisoned at the palace banquet. If it weren't for Mrs. Wan's poison, they would have no solution, and they even suspected that Mrs. Wan had given it to them.

After all, since he poisoned and framed Concubine Ming, how could the emperor send Princess Qingxi back to Mrs. Wan as soon as he took pity on her

Even now, many people think so. After all, Mrs. Wan just can't speak anymore, and it's not because her face is ruined, she may still be favored again.

Besides, who poisoned so cleverly? Instead of killing Mrs. Wan, just make her dumb? Even if other concubines want to frame Shen Guifei, they can directly poison Madam Wan to death, so as to completely get rid of a high-ranking concubine.

The emperor thought so too at the beginning, until after the palace banquet was over, he heard from the chief eunuch about the maid of Jian Jia pouring things into Mrs. Wan's dinner plate.

His Majesty the Emperor: "..."

Shen Yuqing, if you keep quiet, you will die! How can anyone poison in an open and aboveboard manner! If this matter is brought out, I still want to be famous in my first life! When the emperor and the noble concubine of the country colluded to poison the concubine? !

The emperor's eyelids kept twitching, and he wanted to catch Shen Yuqing and beat him up.

It's a pity that I can't beat it.

I don't know who beat whom after I was caught.

"I see." He waved his hand weakly, "You step back first, and deal with the matter cleanly."

In short, no one should know that he did convenient things for the imperial concubine.

"If you can, please wrong Madam Wan." After a long time, he added this sentence.

The chief eunuch's heart trembled, and he quickly saluted: "Yes, this servant knows."

What the emperor meant was that he directly blamed Mrs. Wan on the poisoning incident, saying that she had poisoned herself. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why someone was able to successfully poison the palace banquet, after all, the emperor's people were watching.

But in fact, Mrs. Wan is not wronged.

After all, Mrs. Wan did poison first, but her original intention was to kill Shen Yuqing, not to frame Shen Yuqing so that she could get her daughter back.

However, no one cared what her original intention was at the moment. The high-ranking bosses only wanted to see a solution they were satisfied with, rather than seeking the so-called truth. Mrs. Wan has long been detested, but now she is just excluded from the battlefield in this palace ahead of time.

Concubine Shen was in a good mood, she took her daughter to bid farewell to the Shen family and the group, and slowly returned to Jianjia Palace.

It's a pity that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor usually stays in the Queen's Fengyi Palace. No matter how bad it is, he will only rest in the Zichen Palace by himself. I don't know what's the point of those women fighting for the limelight today, the emperor can't go to them tonight.

After all, running to meet other concubines on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year means that the emperor has rejected the queen, and this is no joke.

But maybe they are for the favor of the next few days

"I kind of miss my queen."

Qingxi was served by the nanny after taking a bath, and she was carried out fragrantly. She looked even more petite and petite, her face was so tender that water could be squeezed out. She spoke softly, staring at Shen Yuqing eagerly.

Concubine Shen was immediately turned into a cutie, she took Xiao Qingxi from the mother's hand: "Okay, let's go find the queen mother."

I couldn't be happier, her daughter is really great! Zhengchou couldn't find an excuse to go to Fengyi Palace to rub the bed!

The ignored nanny: "???"

She looked at the imperial concubine in shock. Didn't the imperial concubine tell the truth? She should just coax the princess, right? !

With a straight face, Shen Yuqing waved her hand to make her retreat, and then took Qingxi to her bedroom. Qingxi's servants haven't been trained properly yet, so it's inconvenient to do anything in Qingxi's room.

When Manchen heard that the imperial concubine was going to stay at Fengyi Palace again, the expression on his face did not change, he just calmly took out his robes and put them on for her and the princess, so as not to catch a cold.

Shen Yuqing wrapped her daughter in her cloak, put one arm around her, and flew out of Jianjia Palace with ease.

It was the first time that Qingxi was led out by her concubine with lightness kung fu, and she was immediately amazed. She poked her little head out and looked around curiously.

Maybe it was flying a little high, Qingxi hugged Shen Yuqing's neck nervously. The cool wind blowing against her face made her shiver, not daring to look around.

"Don't be afraid, we will be there soon." Shen Yuqing comforted her in a low voice.

Qingxi's eyes sparkled: "Yes! I'm not afraid anymore!"

The concubine is amazing! Even more powerful than the father!

She said whoever she wanted, the concubine mother would take her to see whoever (fog), the concubine mother was the best!

Fengyi Palace and Jianjia Palace are not far apart, and they will arrive soon. Concubine Shen Gui sneaked into the bedroom with ease, and closed the window casually.

Just when he was about to walk to the queen, he suddenly saw an annoying peach blossom face sitting in front of her.

His Majesty the Emperor: "..." = Dish = Sure enough, it is here!

The imperial concubine: "..." = dish = how decent it is to run to my sister's room without sleeping at night!

Qingxi was pleasantly surprised, and yelled crisply: "Father!"

His Majesty the Emperor, who was just about to lower his face and confront Shen Yuqing, immediately froze, and then quickly pulled out a smile: "Why is Qingxi here? Come here, father, give me a hug."

"Father!" Qingxi ran over and threw herself into Father's arms, raising her little head, "Qingxi misses her mother, mother and concubine brought Qingxi to see her mother."

His Majesty the Emperor was a little jealous: "Qingxi only wants the Queen Mother?"

Qingxi thought for a while, then shook her head: "I still think about other things."

"Who else do you miss?" The emperor lifted his spirits.

With a serious face, Qingxi said honestly, "I miss you, sir."

I forgot to bring the adults together, and I don't know if the adults want her, eh...

His Majesty the Emperor: ...

Not even a cat.

His Majesty the Emperor learned from the painful experience and decided to hit a straight ball: "Doesn't Qingxi miss your father?"

Qingxi was puzzled: "Didn't you see it just now?" I saw it several times at the palace banquet.

"..." Then you saw your mother several times at the palace banquet!

In short, the emperor knew that he was no match for a cat, so he was so stuffy that he didn't want to talk.

Shen Guifei looked at the father and daughter, thoughtful.

If I let my daughter take the emperor away...

Forget it, my daughter is five years old, so it's not good to sleep with her father anymore. After all, these days, the girl's family began to pay attention to the difference between men and women from a very young age.

She walked over and pulled her daughter over: "It's late, Qingxi should rest."

"Oh." Qingxi nodded obediently, and said to her father, "Your father, please go and rest, my mother, concubine and I are also going to rest."

Her father: "..."

There is a sense of seeing a family of three, obviously he is Qingxi's real father!

Relying on her well-behaved daughter, Concubine Shen successfully drove away the dependent Emperor, and then shared a bed with her daughter-in-law and covered her with a quilt. Although there is a light bulb lying in the middle, Qing Xiaoxi, but the imperial concubine is still happy in her heart.

When I woke up in the morning, my happy mood was even more beautiful.

It really looks like a family of three sleeping with Meimei.

Shen Yuqing greeted the sleeping empress, and returned to Jianjia Palace with her bewildered daughter in her arms.

Last night, Qingxi was so excited that she slept with her two mothers for the first time, and she fell asleep only in the middle of the night. Shen Yuqing simply didn't take her to pay her respects, and let her sleep in the house for a while, while she went to Fengyi Palace with Man Xing, who was full of fighting spirit.

Today, there should be something to say about the poisoning incident.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Yuqing entered Fengyi Palace, she saw a young eunuch being crushed in the center of the hall. Very strange, do not know whose men.

The imperial concubine didn't give him one out of the corner of her eye, she just walked past him, sat down on the left side, took a sip of tea slowly.

All the concubines who were waiting for the imperial concubine to ask who it was, just watched the imperial concubine drinking tea indifferently.

When they ran over early in the morning, they saw the kneeling eunuch, and they wanted to ask what was going on, but they couldn't open their mouths. After finally waiting for the suspected party, the other party didn't care at all, it seemed that they were a group of spectators like the emperor not in a hurry and the eunuchs in a hurry.

Fortunately, they didn't make them wait too long, the empress nodded slightly, and talked about the business: "Miss Jinli has found out some things last night."

Everyone's spirits lifted and they pricked up their ears to listen to the following.

"There was no trace of anyone poisoning at the palace banquet, but Mrs. Wan's dish did contain 'sorrow'. And Concubine Shen..." She paused and looked at Shen Yuqing.

Everyone's eyes are brighter, come here! Here comes the point!

Whether it was the imperial concubine who poisoned her, or Mrs. Wan who poisoned her, or who intervened, will be decided soon!

"In Concubine Shen's palace, there was a court lady who was working in the small kitchen. Her name was Hezhi. Although she committed suicide with a sharp weapon, she had taken 'Chou Chang' before she died."

Concubine De narrowed her eyes slightly, and immediately said: "Empress Empress, could it be that... the instigator behind the scenes was afraid that it would be unsafe, and poisoned the court lady before she committed suicide, and wanted to kill her?"

This also makes sense, after all, now no one can tell who injected the poison in the palace maid, and how much dose was administered. However, whether it is too little to make the maid speechless and unable to identify the murderer, or too many to directly kill the palace lady, it is okay for the mastermind behind the scenes.

In the past, it is not without the situation that the pawn repented before dying and did not commit suicide. The emissary was worried that the maid would ruin her arrangement if she didn't commit suicide, which made sense.

And Concubine De pointed out this point, of course, not purely for making this statement, but because she wanted to lead the dirty water to Shen Yuqing. After all, no matter what, the same poison appeared in her Jianjia Palace.

"I find it strange." Concubine Shu curled her lips slightly, "How could it be that the one who died was a maid in the palace of the concubine's sister?"

If it is said that a maid from the small kitchen died in Mrs. Wan's palace, then everyone thinks there is no problem. After all, for the poisoned Mrs. Wan, it is reasonable for others to buy someone under Mrs. Tong Wan's subordinates to poison her. But the one who died inexplicably was from Concubine Shen's palace, so it's intriguing.

The implication of Concubine Shu's words was that Concubine Shen was playing tricks. She clearly instructed someone to poison Mrs. Wan, but let another maid in her palace die, which made her seem innocent. This is reverse thinking. Most people think that normal people will not let the maids in their palaces die. This is too obvious, but conversely, it is also possible for the imperial concubine to take advantage of everyone's inertial psychology.

But she can only splash dirty water casually, after all Concubine Shen Gui finds someone to poison Madam Wan, and then kills a person in her own palace, it seems a bit too much trouble. But it's too far-fetched to say that the dead maid from Jianjia Palace poisoned Mrs. Wan. After all, maids of honor can interfere with Concubine Shen's meals, but cannot interfere with Mrs. Wan.

Shen Yuqing admired how fast their brains turned so fast, and how many plots were filled in with just these two sentences. She rolled her eyes openly, not bothering to quarrel with the two women.

Concubine De and Concubine Shu: "..."

There are such concubines who don't pay attention to appearance and manners in the world! Roll your eyes in public! It's almost as good as that shrew Mi Fei!

Sitting on the top, the empress almost laughed out loud, covered her lips and coughed lightly, keeping her composure. She went on to say: "Concubine Shu, if you have any doubts, I will ask later. Hanqiu."

"The servant is here." Han Qiu immediately responded.

The empress nodded slightly.

Hanqiu got the order, put on a stern tone, and scolded the eunuch who was kneeling down: "Your Majesty is here, hurry up and explain everything clearly!"

The little eunuch flinched: "Slave, slave is the one who works in the palace of the concubine Defei..."

"What?!" Concubine De was so shocked that she almost dropped the teacup in her hand, why is she still involved

Taking a closer look, Concubine De didn't remember seeing this eunuch either. But she wasn't sure for a while, after all, there were fifteen third-class eunuchs in her palace, and they usually wouldn't come to her, and she couldn't remember the names and faces of those people.

What's more, she was promoted to one of the four concubines some time ago. There are only ten third-class eunuchs around the second-rank concubine, but fifteen first-rank and fourth-class concubines. The five extra were transferred recently, so it is hard to guarantee that there are no other people's eyeliner in them, and Concubine De is even more unfamiliar with these newcomers.

She didn't recognize it, but the big palace lady beside her was somewhat impressed. Before, he only thought he was kind, and thought he had met him while walking on the road, but now he only remembered it when he mentioned it, but it was the eunuch of Yunxiang Palace.

The palace lady whispered a few words in De Fei's ear with an ugly expression, and De Concubine's shocked expression slowly receded, turning into complicated and resentful. She looked at the Empress Empress: "Your Majesty, you must decide for the concubine! This eunuch dares to join forces with outsiders to frame the concubine!"

The queen waved her hand: "Concubine De don't need to get excited, just listen to him."

Concubine De hated secretly, so she had to temporarily hold her tongue.

The eunuch obviously had something to say, and he quickly revealed what he knew. He said that he was appointed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he had no power behind him, but half a month ago, Fangqiao, a maid of Yongan Palace, suddenly came to him with silver and asked him to help deliver a purse to Hezhi of Jianjia Palace.

Because Hezhi works in the small kitchen, and often goes out to collect morning dew, flower petals and other things for the chef, so he can pass things over without mixing into Jianjia Palace. The little eunuch himself is also a person who can go in and out of Yunxiang Palace frequently, so it is no problem to meet He Zhi by chance. Coupled with the large amount of money Fangqiao gave, he gritted his teeth and took the job.

He described the appearance of the purse, and then Han Qiu waved his hand, and asked someone to bring up the purse found in Hezhi's house, and it was indeed the right number.

Concubine De was relieved when she saw that she had been picked out, luckily she was not involved.

But who is this court lady Fangqiao? Yong'an Palace is Madam Wan's palace, but Madam Wan doesn't seem to have a grand maid named Fangqiao. Could it be a second or third class maid
