The more the emperor thought about it, the more he realized something was wrong, so he summoned Meng Jue to the imperial study room, and after turning away from the left and right, he asked, "What kind of medicine do you give the eighth prince?"
Meng Jue didn't seem to know why the emperor's attitude was so solemn, and he replied solemnly: "The medicines of the Eighth Prince are all prepared by the Imperial Physician Li of the Imperial Hospital. Concubine Shu only trusts the Imperial Physician Li, but the Imperial Physician Li is not in good health, so she ordered Wei Wei The minister sent medicine to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, but as for the ingredients in the medicine, I don't know."
"Previously, the minister and the emperor said that there were some problems with the tonic that Concubine Shugui gave the Eighth Prince, but the minister did not dare to make a judgment on what is wrong with it." Meng Yu lowered her head and said in a low voice.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, Meng Yu said he didn't know, he didn't believe it, the only reason was that Meng Yu was afraid of saying the wrong thing, offending someone, or what Concubine Shu Gui said to Meng Yu, Meng Yu would just do it now I dare not speak anymore.
The emperor was dubious, knowing that asking him again would be fruitless, so he said, "Then when you go to the imperial hospital to get the medicine later, take a small packet out of it and present it to me."
"The Eighth Prince's medicine is delivered once a month. The tonic was sent to the Eighth Prince's Mansion by the minister yesterday, and the minister will go back and get it." Meng Yu's eyes flashed a gleam, and she slowly withdrew.
About an hour later, Meng Yu came back in a hurry. The emperor was already impatient, and the eunuch quickly took the medicine from Meng Yu's hand. The eunuch took the medicine and showed it to the emperor immediately, but the emperor himself didn't know any medicinal materials, so he asked the eunuch to take a small silver spoon and slowly move the pile of medicines to look at them carefully to identify them.
"I remember, you used to be an apprentice of Imperial Physician Liu, and your medical skills should be okay." The emperor said meaningfully, the person beside him was also a famous doctor at the beginning, but he didn't lift his lower body when he told his opponent. Because of the fact, he was forced to become a eunuch.
The eunuch smiled reluctantly. He could write medical skills and waited on him all year round. After sniffing and sniffing, he recognized many medicinal ingredients. In particular, he found that many of the medicinal ingredients in this medicine were used by He Yangtingjing Suri The medicine matches.
Most of these medicines are slightly poisonous, so it's okay to just pay attention to the dosage when using them normally, but if they are mixed together, they will inevitably cause conflicts and cause chronic poisoning.
Following the eunuch's explanations, the emperor's anger gradually rose. He never expected that there would be such a woman in the harem. Concubine Shu, such a virtuous and virtuous character, this feeling of being deceived made him unbearable, and said to the eunuch: "Don't count any more, tell the guards in front of the palace to capture Concubine Shu's confidants."
Looking at his expression, the eunuch knew that the emperor was furious, so he folded the paper bag and put it away, and then went to pass the decree outside the palace.
After the eunuch and Meng Yu walked out of the imperial study, the eunuch patted Meng Yu's shoulder forward, and said with a smile: "Physician Meng, I heard that Physician Meng is young but has good medical skills. question."
"Slave, this body is getting worse and worse. I want to use two kinds of medicine for myself, so that the root cause of the disease can really go away. You said it was a hard medicine, uprooting it, or stewing the frog with warm fire, take your time Yes." The eunuch was still smiling.
Meng Yu raised the corners of her lips and said, "Naturally, harsh medicine is more useful, otherwise it will be troublesome if the disease rebounds."
"The servant knows." The eunuch said and left.
Meng Yu looked at the direction where the eunuch was away from and remained silent. Since the matter of Concubine Shu's poisoning has been brought to light, she should kill Concubine Shu as soon as possible.
On the other hand, after many days of investigation, the Lord of Beichen Kingdom found out that his daughter had arrived in the capital, but his whereabouts were unknown afterwards. In desperation, he had no choice but to write a letter of state to the emperor, asking the emperor to take care of the princess on his behalf.
After receiving the letter of credence, the emperor felt very unhappy. Recently, there were many things in the palace, and the matter of Concubine Shu's poisoning had not been cleared up yet, but the Lord Beichen also found something for himself. He was really restless. But considering that the two countries have been on good terms recently, they had no choice but to agree to this difficult matter.
He didn't know that he and his princess were in the capital, let alone when and where she was, so he had to be patient and let some alert people in the Imperial Forest Army change their costumes to look for her quietly, and brought the princess back when they saw her. Right now, he was just reluctantly doing things for others, so he didn't use his own hidden guards, and only pinned all his hopes on those few imperial forest soldiers.
After the Imperial Forest Army got their orders, they searched the capital for two days and two nights to no avail. They searched almost every corner of the capital, but there was no sign of Princess Heqin.
This group of people came back disheartened and told the emperor the truth. Seeing that they had gotten nothing, the emperor scolded them as useless, shook his sleeves and left. When he came to his senses, he didn't know how to explain to Lord Beichen. After all, people disappeared in his own country, so he had to give an explanation, which caused him a headache for a while.
The eunuch waited beside him for a long time, knowing what he was thinking, so he brought a cup of tea made with Hangbai Chrysanthemum and put it in front of the emperor.
As soon as the emperor looked up and saw it, he stretched out his hand to take a sip, and his brows eased: "Only you are considerate. I really don't know how to reply to the Lord of Beichen Kingdom."
The eunuch shook his head and said with a serious face: "In my opinion, this matter has nothing to do with you at all. It's because your majesty is too kind-hearted to do so much for them. Even if there is no serious visit, it has nothing to do with us if no one can find it now. So the old slave thought that he told the truth when he replied, and the Lord Beichen would not be able to tell you what was wrong. "
The emperor thought it was reasonable, and when he wrote the book, he said that he sent a large number of imperial forest troops but failed to find the princess.
Although the Lord of Beichen Kingdom was annoyed when he received the letter, he had no choice but to give up when he thought that his daughter had gone there secretly after all. However, he was really worried about the safety of the princess in his heart, so he temporarily entrusted the court affairs to his trusted ministers, and then came to the capital in person.
Although there were not many people in his group, they still did not lose the demeanor of the country's lord. It took a lot of time to find the princess. Therefore, within half a day after coming to the capital, many people knew about it, of course, including Yang Tingfeng.
Yang Tingfeng was restless and restless in the Eight Princes' Mansion. He was afraid that the Lord of Beichen Kingdom would find out that his princess was dead. , I don't know what to worry about.
"Hmph, bad luck." Zhou Wanyi said indifferently.
Fenghuang was originally raising her baby in the palace, but because of her fetal gas, she decided to follow Yang Tingfeng's advice, and for the next few days, she would not participate in the affairs of Beili Pavilion, and Ziqian and Chu Meng would take care of it for the time being. One day, a hidden guard came to report, saying that the cause of the death of Princess Heqin had been found out in the pavilion.
