"This thing is called catnip, also known as cat grass. It can stimulate cats and cause them to produce some special behaviors. This thing usually grows on the edge of the fence or in the middle of the nursery. The flowers bloom through the summer, and the leaves and flower ends have
Wei Chen has seen medicinal effects before, but this kind of thing is too common, so Wei Chen is not too impressed."
Xianyue said eagerly: "When you say that the cat behaves in a special way, do you mean it hurts people?"
Song Zihua shook his head and said: "Actually, the original intention of the cat is not to hurt people, but to like it so much that it behaves like crazy. If the second elder brother was given this kind of catnip, then everything can be explained."
Xianyue breathed out slowly and said, "I understand. Thank you very much, Imperial Physician Song, for giving me some advice."
At this point, it was already clear that the medicine bag placed in Yonglian's clothes must have been mixed with catnip. It was because of the smell of catnip that Yonglian was attacked by the cat. The cat's claws were painted in advance.
It is extremely poisonous and will kill you if caught.
Song Zihua looked solemn and said: "I don't know where your Majesty found this catnip. This matter is related to the safety of the second elder brother. I must report it to the emperor immediately."
Xianyue's eyes moved slightly and said: "I will handle this matter, so there is no need for Imperial Physician Song to worry. In addition, I also ask Imperial Physician Song to remember what I just said to you and not to tell anyone."
Song Zihua opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He put down the herbs in his hand and left.
When he was about to step out of the palace gate, Song Zihua stopped and said to the palace guard: "Your Majesty seems to be a little bit cold. It was not there when I came here before. Did your Majesty go out just now?"
The people in the palace did not think much about it and said: "Returning to the Song Dynasty's imperial physician, the empress did go out of the palace once. When she passed the palace gate just now, I heard from Miss Zhichun who was beside the empress that she seemed to be going to Jingren Palace."
"Jingren Palace..." Song Zihua whispered, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
He left Yanxi Palace as if nothing had happened, but did not return to Taiyuan Hospital. Instead, he went to another place that Xianyue never expected.
As for Xianyue, she was thoughtfully holding a piece of catnip, and Aluo said at the side: "Master, since it has been confirmed that Concubine Hui did it, and there is evidence, it should be as the imperial doctor of Song Dynasty said.
, report to the emperor immediately, why do you think you are still hesitating?"
Xianyue tapped the table made of chicken wing wood and said slowly: "I am hesitant because I feel that this matter is not that simple."
A Luo said with a strange look on his face: "Why, wasn't everything found to be the fault of Concubine Hui? She even hid the catnip in the medicine bag and asked Dr. Zhuang to increase the weight of the herb to cover up the symptoms of excessive catnip.
odor."
Xianyue asked back: "What about the pure concubine? What role does she play in this matter? As soon as I left, Concubine Hui sent her to find her, which is enough to prove that she is also involved, but so far, there is no one
Things can get her involved. But what really makes me hesitate is another thing."
A Luo, Qi Kuan and others looked at each other and asked doubtfully: "What is it?"
Xianyue's eyes turned and landed on Zhichun, "When you went to Jingren Palace with me, did you notice Concubine Hui's nails?"
Zhichun was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, are you talking about the crystal stones on Concubine Hui's finger? I saw them, and they are the same size as those found on cats."
"You only saw one." Xianyue shook her head slightly and said, "I just took a closer look. The shape of the plum blossoms on Concubine Hui's ten nails is intact without any defects. Can you tell me, what does this mean?"
Qi Kuan was the first to understand, and his face immediately became very strange, "I understand, the crystals on Concubine Hui's nails did not fall off at all. The crystals on the cat came from elsewhere, and even... someone deliberately framed her."
Xianyue glanced at him approvingly, stood up and said, "That's exactly the truth, but it's also possible that Concubine Hui found that the spar fell off and re-placed it. But think about Concubine Hui's identity. This kind of thing,
Naturally, someone from the palace will do it, so why should she do it herself? It just doesn't fit the mood."
A Luo pondered: "But who in the palace would frame Concubine Hui and blame Concubine Hui? Could it be Concubine Zhe?"
Xianyue shook her head and said: "Concubine Zhe really wants to get rid of the second elder brother and me, but she doesn't have such sophisticated calculations and abilities."
"If it's not Concubine Zhe, then who else could it be? Master said that Concubine Chun and Concubine Hui may have known each other before they entered the Qianman residence, and with the connections in the palace, it couldn't be her. The concubine currently in the position is Jia Concubine.
A concubine, could it be her?"
"Jia concubine..." Xianyue murmured and repeated, shaking her head and saying: "She doesn't have an elder brother under her knees. I can't think of any reason for her to take such a big risk and set up a trap. And there is also a fatal
The problem is that Concubine Hui has little contact with her, let alone trust. How can she blame Concubine Hui?"
A Luo said frustratedly: "Why do you think that the more you think about it, the more confused you become? What is going on?"
After a brief silence, Qi Kuan whispered: "Master, I have thought of a possibility, but I don't know whether to take it seriously or not."
Xianyue walked up to him slowly and said, "There are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter if you say so."
Qi Kuan said nervously: "Could the person who designed it be a pure concubine?"
When A Luo was about to object, Xianyue raised her hand to signal her not to say anything. She stared at Qi Kuan and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Judging from the surveillance of Yikun Palace during this period and the fact that Concubine Hui and Concubine Chun are both from Taiping Mansion, they should have known each other for a long time and have a close relationship. But please tell the truth, once you enter the palace,
, no matter what kind of relationship they had before, it was all gone at this moment. The only thing left is the word profit. As long as it is beneficial to one's own interests, let alone sisters, even if they are really sisters, they can be used.
At once
Just like the Wen family during the late emperor's time, and we don't know if there is a dispute between them. If there is, then the betrayal and use would be more reasonable." Seeing Xianyue's silence, he added: "In addition,
Apart from Concubine Zhe, there are only pure concubines who have a son. She has enough motivation to get rid of the second elder brother. Once it is done, whether it is the master or Concubine Hui who becomes the scapegoat, it will be beneficial to her.
"
A Luo stroked the goose bumps that silently crawled up on his arms and said tremblingly: "When you say that, why do I feel that pure concubines are so scary?"
Xianyue said coolly: "Don't you think it's scary for someone who can hide this from me for several years without realizing it?"
A Luo was shocked and said: "So, Master, do you also agree with what Qi Kuan said?"
"Pure concubine...she is indeed the most likely person, but there is one thing I still can't figure out. She wants to frame Concubine Hui. These catnip plants in the medicine bag are the most critical. How did she put them in?
