But after all, this is a child of royal blood, and the emperor agreed to have a child. The queen mother turned around and looked at the room full of people, and looked like an imperial doctor and asked: "Do you know the reason?"
"Your Majesty, when I first felt my pulse, it was fine. Your Majesty just showed signs of miscarriage. But I don't know why your pulse suddenly became intermittently intermittently, and your hands and feet became cold, so..."
"Did she eat something before?" the Queen Mother asked Bizhu.
Bizhu thought about what happened in the Imperial Garden and said, "Yes, I have eaten the grapes sent by Luxiu, the maid of Concubine Ling."
Everyone saw the pair of master and servant. They knelt on the ground at the same time and cried out for injustice. Concubine Ling said: "Queen Mother, even if I have the courage, I would not dare to murder the emperor's dragon. Please give me a clear warning from the Queen Mother."
"Where are the grapes?" the Queen Mother asked seriously.
"The Royal Garden is still there. If the Queen Mother doesn't trust me, she can have someone bring it to the imperial doctor for examination. Besides, so many people have eaten it and they are all fine." Concubine Ling begged in tears.
"I definitely want to be tested, Aunt Jiang."
"The old slave is here."
"Go get the rest of the grapes."
"Yes, old slave, let's go now." Aunt Jiang responded and called the two eunuchs to go to the Royal Garden, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely tense.
After a while, Nanny Jiang came back with the two eunuchs, but her hands were empty. The Queen Mother asked: "What's going on?"
"Master, when I arrived at Fengyi Pavilion, there was nothing there." Aunt Jiang replied.
"How is it possible that there is nothing? Has it been taken away by someone?" Concubine Ling asked anxiously.
The Queen Mother looked at the fourth concubine and said, "Can you also testify that there were still grapes in Fengyi Pavilion when we left?"
The fourth concubine nodded timidly, not daring to look into the Queen Mother's eyes.
"Besides Grape Empress, what else did you eat?" This time it was the imperial doctor who asked.
Bizhu thought hard and shook her head, then suddenly nodded: "Does the water that Concubine Ling handed to the master just now count?"
"Tea?" Everyone's eyes were focused on the teapot again. The imperial doctor stood up, walked over, picked up the lid of the pot, sniffed it in and opened his mouth in surprise: "Red flowers."
Hearing this word, everyone present was stunned. Why are there red flowers here?
"Physician, are you sure?" the Queen Mother asked.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the smell of this safflower is very light. Unless a doctor can smell it after long-term dealing with medicine, it would be difficult to detect it." After the Queen Mother answered, she said to Bizhu: "Does the Queen usually drink this kind of cup?
?”
"Yes, this is the empress' favorite Longjing." Bizhu replied.
"Yes." The imperial doctor nodded and said to the Queen Mother: "I am sure that the empress had a miscarriage after taking it for a long time after she was pregnant. I could have saved the fetus just now, but I didn't expect that the empress drank another cup of tea, and then..."
"Concubine Ling..." the Queen Mother said angrily.
"It's unfair, Queen Mother, I didn't put any medicine in the tea. I just saw Sister Jinfei's hard work, so she kindly handed me a cup of tea." Concubine Ling cried.
The Queen Mother thought about it. She served the tea in full view of everyone, so there was no chance for her to administer the medicine. She then looked at the palace attendants in Yunxiu Palace and asked, "Who usually makes this tea?"
The three palace servants knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound and said: "It's not the slave who made the tea these two days, it was she who made it." The middle palace servant pointed at the wolfberry and said.
Qi Zi did not take this matter to heart at first, and she did not expect that at this moment she would be suspected of murdering the emperor Longzhong. She knelt down beside the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, yes, the tea these days is made by slaves.
But I didn’t add red flowers to it, I don’t even know what the red flowers look like, not to mention I have no reason to harm Concubine Jin.”
"You do, you do." Bizhu suddenly knelt on the ground and dragged Qi Zi tightly, crying and saying, "You must be resentful that the emperor demoted you to Yunxiu Palace as a palace servant, and you must be jealous of Concubine Jin.
With the emperor’s favor, are you afraid that the emperor will allow your empress to conceive a dragon seed?”
"What am I afraid of? Why should I be afraid?" Qi Zi looked at the slave girl in front of her who was crying into tears. Was she really showing her true feelings for her master?
"You are afraid that your mother will give birth to a dragon son and become the queen."
"What does it matter to me whether she gives birth to a prince or not?" Qi Zi said coldly, throwing away her hand.
"Of course it does matter. Everyone knows that you went to Qifeng Palace just after entering the palace. Qifeng Palace is the center of the harem. When there is no owner, the palace master who appears there is suspected of wanting to be the queen. You appear in
Do you dare to say that you have no ambition?" Qi Zi just wanted to see Li Ran's shadow when she was alive, but he didn't expect that from Bi Zhu's mouth, it would become clear that she had the ambition to be a queen, and she was being rebellious here.
"Is there such a thing? Qi Zi, why haven't I heard you talk about it before?" Grandma Jiang asked.
Qi Zi doesn't speak, what can she say? Tell everyone that she and Li Ran were good sisters during her lifetime? Tell everyone that she has doubts about Li Ran's death? Not being able to say these words at this time will only make everyone think that she is
It was just a quibble, so she closed her eyes and chose silence.
"Queen Mother, you see she has nothing to say. She has acquiesced. She should be locked up. Otherwise, how can she be worthy of Sister Jinfei?" Meifei also said with tears.
"This..." The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Mei, then at Qi Zi and said, "Qi Zi, please speak."
At this time, Qi Zi thought: Lock her up? She opened her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother and said: "Your Majesty, I also know that a man should dare to do what he does. Although I am a young woman, I will not deny what I have done.
What's more, I didn't do this. Queen Mother, I don't want to embarrass you, so I beg you to put me in jail."
"Girl, you are crazy. Are you asking your master to put you in jail?" Aunt Jiang stepped forward and looked at her and said.
"Mother Jiang, thank you." Qi Zi smiled and said, "Queen Mother, please give me the order."
The Queen Mother looked troubled. Although she had not met Qi Zi very often, she understood from her words and deeds that Qi Zi was not a scorpion-hearted person. So why would she make such a decision? The Queen Mother was puzzled.
Bizhu knelt and walked to the Queen Mother and cried, "Please Queen Mother, please make the decision for Concubine Jin."
Concubine Mei also knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, you cannot favor this bitch who is plotting to murder your grandson."
"Shut up." When she heard the word "bitch" coming out of Concubine Mei's mouth, she glared at Concubine Mei in disbelief. Maybe she was really avenging Concubine Jin's injustice.
Everyone in the room knelt down and said in unison: "I beg the Queen Mother to make the decision for Concubine Jin."
Due to Qi Zi's acquiescence and the Queen Mother's hesitation, everyone present believed that Qi Zi had done this.
After a long time, the Queen Mother said: "Come here, lock her up for me. We will wait for the Emperor to come back to decide everything."
"Master." Nanny Jiang called. The Queen Mother waved her hand, and Qi Zi kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your help."
