Jian Xiao had a good appetite and finished the meal like a storm. She called Eunuch Shi over with a smile, "The craftsmanship in the imperial kitchen is really getting better and better..." Before she could say the word "good", Jian Xiao suddenly changed.
His face looked like he wanted to vomit
"Empress...what's wrong?" Wan Yun ran over.
Jian Xiao waved her hand, "Maybe she is too weak..." and vomited everything into the bucket. Then Jian Xiao trembled all over, her lips turned purple, and cold sweat continued to leak from her forehead.
Seeing Jian Xiao's illness, Zhang Qin quickly hugged her. The imperial doctor also came over quickly and used acupuncture to control Jian Xiao's illness. Jian Xiao then calmed down.
"What's going on?" Zhang Qin asked the imperial doctor with a straight face and annoyance. Seeing his beloved woman suffer such a crime, Zhang Qin was very unhappy.
The imperial doctor took the pulse and said, "Before the meal, the pulse was quite stable. Why is the pulse so fast now? I wonder what the empress used."
"It's just some home-cooked dishes!" Zhang Qin said. When he turned around and saw Eunuch Shi kneeling on the ground at a loss, "Did you have some medicine in it?"
Eunuch Shi's face turned pale as he hurriedly defended himself, "Your Majesty, it's clear! You really didn't give me any medicine! What an injustice!"
"Unjustly accused?" Wan Yun stood up, "Have you forgotten what you did last time?"
Zhang Qin grabbed the topic and asked, "What happened last time?"
Wan Yun deliberately pretended to make a mistake and hurriedly stopped talking. At this time, Jian Xiao was given some cold water and woke up, "Your Majesty!"
"Jian Xiao!" Zhang Qin gave her a sweat test, "How much suffering have you endured behind my back?"
Jian Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm still fine! His Majesty was busy selecting the pillars of the country at that time, so I asked General Guo and Wan Yun to remind me that I didn't make such a big fuss."
"Ziqing?" Zhang Qin frowned, "Call me! I have to make this matter clear today."
Guo Ziqing was called over in confusion, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do with you?"
"Last time there was poisoning in Xiaoxiang Tower?"
Guo Ziqing looked at Jian Xiao on the hospital bed, "This..." He promised Jian Xiao to keep it a secret.
Jian Xiao said, "General Guo, there is no need to be shy. I have already told Your Majesty that I asked you to keep it a secret. Now it's time to say it!"
"Yes!" Guo Ziqing clasped his fists and told the whole story clearly. He didn't say that he was following Jian Xiao because of his concern for her comfort. He just said that he met Jian Xiao when he patrolled to Xiaoxiang Tower.
Zhang Qin was furious after hearing this. He didn't expect that after Jian Xiao stayed up all night to read the test papers, she would be brutally attacked when she came back to Xiaoxiang Tower, and almost everyone was killed.
He pointed at Eunuch Shi, "How dare you, eunuch! How dare you do such a bold thing! You deserve death! Take him out and behead him immediately!"
When Eunuch Shi heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This villain was also instigated by others. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
"Who ordered it?"
"Concubine Yue De!" Eunuch Shi kowtowed and said.
"Impossible!" Zhang Qin sneered, "Concubine De was pregnant with my prince at the time, how could she do such a sloppy thing! You are simply jumping over the wall and spitting blood!"
Now it was Jian Xiao's turn to be surprised. She originally thought that after telling the truth, Zhang Qin would definitely deal with Concubine Yue De, but she didn't expect that Zhang Qin would believe him so much.
Jian Xiao's mind turned around, she sat up from the bed, pointed at Eunuch Shi and said, "That's right! Concubine Yue De has always been kind to others. Who in this palace doesn't know who doesn't know that?" Jian Xiao also followed Zhang Qin's meaning.
"A villain would never dare to deceive the emperor! Concubine Yue De..." Eunuch Shi's eyes sank and he stopped talking. He knew about today's incident and privately begged Jian Xiao that he still had a way to survive. If he told the story about Musk
Come on, I'm afraid I don't even know how I died.
Jian Xiao was so smart that she had already seen the clues. She looked at Zhang Qin and said, "Your Majesty! Why don't you put him in a prison first and send someone to interrogate him later?"
"First reward a hundred big boards, and then we will review it later!" Zhang Qin shouted
Jian Xiao made a gesture, and Jiaojiao hurriedly brought a cup of tea. Jian Xiao took it and whispered, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I am already ill. If I make Your Majesty angry, I cannot afford it!"
"
Zhang Qin took two deep breaths and said, "It's so... people's hearts are so vicious! In order to hurt you, they don't hesitate to put the blame on others!"
Jian Xiao was completely speechless by his words. Was he destined to be unable to defeat Concubine Yue De? All the suffering he had suffered before was in vain. The pain in Jian Xiao's head and the wound on his knee made him unable to let it go.
She can't wait any longer now!
"Your Majesty," Jian Xiao saw that Zhang Qin's mood gradually calmed down, and she asked, "Why do you think Eunuch Shi wanted to frame me? I am not familiar with him."
Zhang Qin sighed, "So he said there was someone behind the scenes, but he didn't know who he was and what his purpose was."
Jian Xiao thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, I have an idea! I don't know if it will work!"
Zhang Qin looked at Jian Xiao, "Let's talk and listen!"
Early the next morning, in Kunyuan Palace, it was rare that all Zhang Qin's concubines were there. The higher-ranking ones were sitting, while the lower-ranking ones could only stand at the back. Jian Xiao stood in the first row.
The empress had a dark face, and the wet nurse hugged Mintong and hid to one side. "Since I had Mintong, I thought I could have some time to rest. Plus Gong Guifei and Li Shufei are both smart, so I can naturally save some worries. Unexpectedly, I got out of the way."
It’s such a big deal!”
Concubine Shu and the concubine lowered their heads and said nothing. Some people looked at each other curiously, not knowing what the queen said.
"Eunuch Shi from the imperial dining room, a fourth-grade purchasing eunuch, actually poisoned the concubine's food!" the queen said sternly.
Concubine Li Shu and Concubine Gong were shocked when they heard this and knelt down in a hurry. Jian Xiao secretly looked at Concubine Yue De. There was a hint of panic in her eyes, and she twisted the silk handkerchief uneasily with her hands, thinking about something in her mind.
"This is nothing! Eunuch Shi actually said that he was instigated by others," the queen pointed at the people standing in the hall, "among you!"
Concubine Yue De's silk handkerchief fell from her hand. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she stretched out her legs and secretly took the silk handkerchief back to her feet.
Gong Guibi said softly, "Mother, why didn't we just ask him if we called him here? It's clear who did it."
The queen smiled coldly, "We are all people who have enjoyed His Majesty's favor. Eunuch Shi, who always wants to save some face, is now being held in his residence in the imperial dining room, waiting for interrogation by the ministers of the Ministry of Punishment. The world is not peaceful now. If you ask someone,
So, even if Your Majesty doesn’t deal with it, I still have to clean it up here!”
Everyone was silent. Jian Xiao just stared at Concubine Yue De. She wiped her lips with her left hand, just blocking other people's vision. Shuangxi came forward. After a moment, Jian Xiao nodded slightly and took in everything.
