The coldness in the last word was something she had never experienced even when she was accused of killing the seventh elder brother. Shu Mulu wanted to pretend to be scared, but at this moment she was really scared. Although she had been afraid since just now,
, Yinzhen's complexion has always been unpleasant, but at this moment, it makes people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts.
She swallowed her saliva and said: "Returning to the emperor, I thought that in the harem now, there is only a third-grade concubine, Concubine Xi. The queen is not in good health. Concubine Xi has always been helping the queen with matters in the harem.
Taking care of things, if something happens to the Empress Xi, the emperor will definitely choose one of the concubines to be promoted to the concubine to help the empress take care of the harem. For example
The four concubines currently in the concubine position are Cheng Concubine, Yu Concubine, Jin Concubine, and Qian Concubine. Concubine Jin and Concubine Xi have always been on good terms, and there is no way they have harmful intentions. Otherwise, they would not have waited until now.
Of the remaining three empresses, only Concubine Cheng has been to Chengqian Palace in the past two days, and among the empresses, Concubine Cheng is the oldest and most likely to be promoted to..."
Dai Jiashi trembled all over after hearing this, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Jiang, what are you talking about? I have never had such thoughts. Don't slander me!"
Ling Ruo shook his head as he listened. Even if Shu Mulu's words were distasteful and no matter how angry he was, he should not scold his master in front of Yinzhen. Isn't this deliberately making Yinzhen unhappy?
Shu Mulu said with great grievance: "I don't think so. I just expressed my guess. If the emperor and the empress don't think so, just don't pay attention to it."
"Still talking sweet words here." Dai Jia was filled with annoyance and said sharply: "I know, you must have done all this, and then you used this silk bag to put the blame on me. You have such evil thoughts." She was so excited.
Next, she even forgot about claiming to be the Lord of the First Palace.
Shu Mulu seemed to be so frightened that she even forgot her words of defense. She just lay there and cried. After a while, she sobbed and said: "If I want to blame the queen, why should I use my own things to blame you?"
You can steal anything from your empress."
Shu Mulu's words sounded reasonable, but Ling Ruo always felt that there were many problems in them. Not to mention whether Dai Jia would have the courage because of her temperament, but Shu Mulu's appearance, she always felt that there was a trace of deliberateness.
in it.
In addition, the trick of poisoning mosquitoes is both cruel and clever. Dai Jia is not smart at all, and is even a bit stupid. How could such a person come up with such a cruel and clever trick?
Seeing that Mr. Shumulu didn't reply, Mr. Dai Jia scolded Mr. Shumulu even more vigorously, scolding Mr. Shumulu bloody in retaliation for her slandering her. She scolded her vigorously, but she didn't know that Yinzhen's face was getting more and more ugly.
At the back, Mrs. Dai Jia finally realized something was wrong. She hurriedly raised her head and glanced at Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me. I am really angry at Mr. Shu Mulu for slandering me, that's why I am like this."
Yinzhen nodded and said lightly: "Have you had enough scolding?"
Dai Jiashi lowered her head and did not dare to answer, but Yinzhen was not ready to let her go just like that, and sneered: "If it's not enough, just keep scolding me. This is the first time in so many years that I have seen someone scolding someone like this in front of me."
, it’s really interesting.”
"I know I was wrong, and I beg the Emperor to forgive me." As she said this, Dai Jia lowered her head even more, not even daring to take a breath. At the same time, she regretted her impulse just now. Although she was scolding her happily, she still couldn't.
Making Yinzhen unhappy is not worth the gain.
Yinzhen stared at her indifferently and said: "As the saying goes, if you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. If you have never done it, why should you be afraid of what others say."
Seeing that Yinzhen was obviously not happy with the Dai Jia family, Ling Ruo said: "Your Majesty, the black water delphinium flower is the Aconitum of the Western Regions. It is both a poison and a medicine. I am wondering if it comes from the imperial pharmacy."
?”
Yinzhen also thought about this matter, nodded and said: "Su Peisheng, ask Zhao Fang to come see me immediately." Zhao Fang is the general manager of the Imperial Pharmacy, and all medicinal materials must pass through his hands. Black Water Delphinium Flower has
You will know best if you ask someone who has taken it.
"My servant obeys the order." Su Peisheng left quickly, without even having time to take the lantern. Although it was getting late, seeing Yinzhen like this, he would never give up until he heard clearly.
While waiting for Zhao Fang to arrive, Yinzhen's sharp, arrow-like gaze passed over Dai Jia's head from time to time. His face was as gloomy as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
As for Dai Jia, even though she lowered her head, she still felt something. She picked at the thin cracks of the gold bricks uneasily, and at the same time tried to comfort herself in her heart. As long as she had not done it, she would be fine.
Zhao Fang hurriedly came to Chengqian Palace with Su Peisheng. Faced with Yinzhen's question, he thought carefully and said: "When I return to the emperor, I remember that a few days ago, Miss Ruliu who was next to Hui Guiren came to get aconite from the Western Regions, saying that it was used
To cure rheumatism."
"Is it you?" Yinzhen originally thought it would be Dai Jia's name, but unexpectedly it was Shu Mulu's name. His eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Mrs. Shumulu exclaimed softly, looked at Ruliu blankly and said, "When are you going to the Royal Pharmacy? Why don't I know?"
Zhao Fang's testimony made Dai Jia feel at ease, and at the same time he felt a sense of joy in others' misfortune. He stared at Shu Mulu and said disdainfully: "You are still pretending there. It's obviously you who asked Ru Liu to get Aconitum from the Western Regions, and then fed it to her.
Feed the mosquitoes in the blood and then hurt Brother Si."
"Concubine, please don't talk nonsense. This matter has nothing to do with the master. This servant took it privately." Ru Liu shouted to her, then kowtowed to the Shumulu family and said, "This slave deserves to die for not telling the master about this."
"Ru Liu, what on earth did you do with the Aconitum from the Western Regions?" Shu Mulu stared at Ru Liu nervously. Even Ling Ruo couldn't see any flaws in that look.
"Since I went to the Jingjun before, my slave has been doing hard work every day and can only sleep for two or three hours at night. In the cold winter, my hands have been immersed in cold water. After soaking for a long time, I often feel pain in my knuckles. Later, my knees also hurt.
Got up, I thought it would happen after the weather got warmer
It improved, but instead of getting better, it actually got worse, as if it was rheumatism. The servant remembered that she had heard people say that Aconitum from the Western Regions could cure rheumatism, so she went to the imperial pharmacy and asked Eunuch Zhao for some.
I didn’t tell the master because I was afraid that the master would be worried.”
After hearing what she said, Shu Mulu said angrily: "You...you...are really mad at me!"
Dai Jiashi shuddered. Damn it, why was it pulled on her again? She was really haunted. Thinking of this, she quickly diverted Yinzhen's attention, "Your Majesty, don't let them drink."
Yihe is confused, they must have poisoned Brother Si."
Yinzhen frowned and said, "Wait a minute, why did Ruliu go to Jingjun, and when did she go? I remember that after Hongxun's incident, she stayed with you in Shuiyixuan."
