Xiao Dezi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, I didn't go to Kunning Palace to see the imperial doctor."
"What a pity." Yehenala said in a low voice. Although she didn't say it clearly, Chuntao and others knew what she meant. The child in the queen's belly has always been a thorn in the side of everyone in the palace. I don't know how many people look forward to it.
I can't give birth to this child.
"Master, don't be anxious, there will be a chance." Faced with Chuntao's consolation, Yehenala nodded and motioned for Xiao Dezi to go down.
Besides, at the Changchun Palace, the nanny had already explained in detail the meals that Yong Yan had eaten in the morning and evening. After Rong Yuan carefully examined them, he found nothing wrong and turned his attention to An Lu, who had just arrived.
An Lu had an excellent memory. Although there were forty-nine items in yesterday's meal, he still remembered every detail and reported them all. After listening to what he said, Rong Yuan's brows furrowed even more tightly. These three items
There is nothing in this meal that can aggravate the condition of cold and heat.
What's wrong is that "crab meat soup dumplings". He has read in medical books that if crab meat is mixed with jujube and eaten in large quantities, it will cause cold and fever. However, among these dishes and snacks, there is no
There are no jujubes, maybe a few will be put in the soup, but they are not enough to cause cold and fever.
While he was thinking, Fang Jian and others also thought of the taboo of eating crab meat and jujubes together. One of the imperial doctors said: "To report to the emperor, I once encountered a patient who suddenly suffered from cold and fever. After asking,
During the visit, I learned that he had taken crab meat and jujube at the same time. Medical books have recorded that if these two things are taken at the same time, it is very likely to cause cold and fever. Wei Chen suspected that the cold and fever in Brother Jiu came from this.
.”
Hongli pinched his eyebrows and said tiredly: "But among what Yongjue ate yesterday, there were no jujubes."
Rong Yuan thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Mr. An, are you really not missing anything?"
An Lu said with great certainty: "No, I remember the forty-nine dishes clearly, and I didn't miss any of them!"
Rong Yuan frowned more and more when he heard this. The cold and fever disease in Yong Yue's body came fiercely and happened quickly. It didn't look like an ordinary disease, not to mention that there were so many people in the palace who got sick at the same time. The mixture of crab meat and jujube caused the disease.
is the most likely, but none of the dishes are made directly from jujubes, which is really strange!
While I was thinking about it, Si Xi's hesitant voice came to my ears, "Your Majesty, I remember that my concubine sent us some snacks during lunch yesterday. Is there... any jujubes among them?"
Hongli's eyes flashed with a hint of eagle-like sternness, "Herald the concubine!"
When Xiao Wu came to Yongshou Palace with Hongli's words, Wei Jingxuan was not happy at all. She already knew the news of Yongjue's death. It was definitely not a good thing for Hongli to send her to Changchun Palace now.
"Your Majesty, please!" Faced with Xiao Wu's signal, Wei Jingxuan winked at Cuizhu, forced out a smile, and said, "May I ask Fifth Eunuch, do you know why the emperor sent me to the palace?"
"Your Majesty will know after she goes there." As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, there was something heavy in his hand. He looked down and saw that it was a shining silver coin. Cuizhu whispered in his ear: "It's still the same."
Please be kind enough, Fifth Eunuch, to report one or two of them, so that the master can have peace of mind when he meets the emperor."
No one dislikes white money, but some silver is desirable and some silver is unavailable. Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, but finally put the silver on the small table aside and said again: "Mother, please!"
Wei Jingxuan nodded helplessly, helped Cuizhu and went to Changchun Palace with Xiaowu. After entering the main hall, Wei Jingxuan quickly glanced at Hongli who was sitting at the top, knelt down and said: "I see you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Hongli stared at her and said coldly: "I remember that on Yongyong's birthday yesterday, you made some snacks to send to her. What kind of snacks were they?"
His words made Wei Jingxuan a little stunned. Hongli sent her here specifically just to ask such an insignificant question? Although she was full of questions, she still answered truthfully: "In reply to the emperor, I made a total of three snacks.
Is it: custard cake, silver roll or jujube yam cake."
Hongli's eyelids twitched fiercely, he stood up suddenly, walked to her, and said with a ferocious expression: "What did you say? Date paste and yam cake?"
Wei Jingxuan was startled by his appearance and said in panic: "Yes, one of them is jujube and yam cake. Your Majesty, what happened?"
"Bitch!" Hongli slapped Wei Jingxuan hard on the face, knocking her to the ground. "It turns out you were the one who killed Yong Jing. You are so brave!"
Wei Jingxuan was suddenly slapped, and when she heard Hongli's scolding, she was immediately frightened to death. She covered her red cheeks with red fingerprints and said in a panic: "How could I harm the ninth elder brother? I am wronged! You are wronged!"
"
"Unjustly accused?" Hongli sneered: "If you hadn't made jujube paste and yam cake, how could Yongyi have died!"
Wei Jingxuan has never been so scared as she is now, not only because of Hongli's accusation, but also because she has no clue about this matter and doesn't even know how to defend herself.
She tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart and said in a trembling voice: "What on earth did I do? I really don't know anything. I beg the emperor to make it clear!"
Hongli took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Do you remember that there was a crab meat soup dumpling at yesterday's banquet?" After Wei Jingxuan nodded, he added: "Then do you know that mixing crab meat with jujubes will cause cancer?"
Cold and fever, you - killed Yong Yue!"
Facing Hong Li's sharp, razor-sharp gaze, Wei Jingxuan's eyes turned black. She never knew that mixing crab meat with jujubes would have such a terrible effect. According to this, Yong Yue... really died indirectly because of her.
hands.
How could this happen? She obviously wanted to please Hongli, but why did she end up like this in the end? Now... what should I do now? Will Hongli let her go?
Wei Jingxuan kowtowed while thinking about it, and cried: "I didn't know that such a thing would happen. If I had known, I would never have made that date mud and yam cake."
"Really?" Hongli's tone was as cold as falling rain and snow, "Wei Jingxuan, I ask you, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
Wei Jingxuan's face turned pale when he asked, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty asked this, because he suspects that I have deliberately harmed my ninth elder brother?" Before Hongli could say anything, she shook her head vigorously, and said with tears streaming down her face: "I am also the concubine.
I have lost a child before and know the heartbreaking pain. How can I bear the heart to inflict such pain on others? If possible, I would rather die on behalf of my ninth elder brother!"
"Are you really willing to die on behalf of Yongxuan?" The voice came from behind Wei Jingxuan, and following the voice, Mrs. Hu was seen walking in slowly.
