After Concubine Lin learned the news and rushed over, she was faced with Empress Gu's unconcealed anger: "Ms. Lin, tell me now. What kind of sweet soup did you make? How did Mo's and Mrs.
Mr. Ye couldn’t wake up after drinking the sweet soup?”
Concubine Lin's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "Empress, I don't know what's going on. The sweet soup is indeed made by my own hands, but the ingredients are all ready-made, absolutely
No manipulation has been done. I even tasted a few bites myself, and there was no problem at all. Who would have thought that the Crown Princess and Mrs. Ye would fall into coma after drinking the sweet soup..." As she said this, she felt like this
The explanation was a bit far-fetched, and I became increasingly panicked, with a look of horror on my face.
If Mrs. Mo and Ye Qinglan were really at odds with each other, she would no longer want her life! Not to mention Empress Gu, not even the Crown Prince and Gu Xinian would be able to spare her!
Queen Gu glanced at Concubine Lin coldly: "What exactly happened in this matter will be investigated and come to light. From now on, you are not allowed to leave without permission."
Concubine Lin nodded while crying, her delicate makeup was stained by tears, and she looked very embarrassed.
The imperial doctors were very fast and arrived after a moment. At first, they thought that there was something wrong with Queen Gu's condition again, and the expressions of several imperial doctors were very solemn. After they found out that it was Mo Shi and Ye Qinglan who were in coma, they felt a little relieved.
tone.
Empress Gu said in a deep voice: "Leave two here, and the other two go to the Crown Princess. The situation is critical at this time, so there is no need to have any scruples. We must find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible and revive them both as soon as possible." After a pause.
After a pause, he added coldly: "If we can't save them two, just wait for your heads to be moved!"
As soon as these words came out, the attitudes of the several imperial doctors immediately changed subtly. After respectfully responding, they immediately checked the pulses of the two unconscious female relatives without stopping.
There was such a big commotion that Zhang Yue and Shen Qiuyu naturally couldn't have known it, so they rushed over in a hurry.
Zhang Yue looked at Ye Qinglan who was lying unconscious on the bed, and his heart suddenly sank. Empress Gu sat aside with a sullen face, Concubine Lin was wiping her tears aside, and the atmosphere in the room was very tense.
Shen Qiuyu glanced at Ye Qinglan, who had her eyes closed. A hint of joyful sneer flashed in her eyes, and then disappeared from her eyes. She approached Queen Gu with a concerned look on her face: "It was fine before, but why did it become like this in the blink of an eye?
Already?"
Empress Gu was still in the mood to talk to Shen Qiuyu at this time, and replied a little impatiently: "Okay, just calm down for a while. Mrs. Lin, please stop crying. If there is really something wrong with that bowl of sweet mung bean soup
, the only one I ask is you."
After several experienced and seasoned imperial physicians checked their pulses, they each had a clear idea. They exchanged knowing glances with each other, and one of them, the oldest and most skilled physician Qin, took the lead: "Empress Qi, the Crown Princess.
It seems that Mrs. He and Gu accidentally ate something they shouldn't have eaten and were poisoned, so they fell unconscious. As for where the poison came from, further investigation is needed."
Hearing this, Concubine Lin could hardly stand still. If she had eaten something that she shouldn't have eaten, wasn't it just that damn bowl of mung bean sweet soup? But she didn't move a finger at all. Who was it?
Were they tampered with to put the blame on her?
A cold light flashed in Queen Gu's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Are the poisons on the two of them serious? Can they be cured?"
Qin Taiyi's answer was very conservative: "I and others plan to prescribe a detoxification prescription first, and drink two doses to see if it works. The most important thing is to find out what the poison was from, so that we can prescribe the right medicine."
Queen Gu glared at Concubine Lin. Seeing that Concubine Lin's makeup was all stained from crying, she looked away in disgust: "Come here, go to the kitchen and ask if the sweet mung bean soup that Concubine Lin made before is still there."
Is there any left?"
The palace maid sent to the kitchen came back soon, holding the leftover sweet mung bean soup in her hand: "There is nothing in the kitchen. These were found in the princess's room."
Several imperial doctors carefully brought the mung bean sweet soup aside, each took a brief taste, and then discussed in a low voice. After a while, Qin Imperial Physician reported back: "This mung bean sweet soup seems to be mixed with...
There is no problem with the food itself, but when it is put together with mung beans, it is incompatible with each other, so toxins are produced. As for the specific ingredients, I have to go to the kitchen to investigate.
"
Queen Gu's face was so gloomy that her original color was almost gone, and she nodded in agreement.
Concubine Lin's expression was already a little dull, and she murmured: "I didn't do anything, who wants to harm me like this? Who is it..."
Seeing her look like that, Queen Gu was furious and her eyes were filled with power: "Ms. Lin, since you made this bowl of sweet mung bean soup yourself, how could you not know what went wrong? What if you dare to do it to me?
I will never forgive you for playing tricks in front of you!"
Concubine Lin knelt down again, but this time she did not dare to cry anymore, and hurriedly defended herself: "My concubine has made this sweet soup several times in the house before, and the princess has also eaten it. Every time
They always praised the taste and never had any problems. It was hot today and I had nothing to do, so I thought of cooking this sweet soup myself. There were people around me from the beginning to the end.
, the maid and concubine have no chance to do anything. Please be careful!"
At this time, any words that he has no intention of harming the Crown Princess and Ye Qinglan are all nonsense. As for the motive, there are some if you think about it. The Crown Princess has no children, and the eldest son raised in her name is from
Concubine Lin’s belly. If Mrs. Mo made a mistake, the child would naturally have to be raised by her biological mother. By then, it is very likely that Concubine Lin would become the most powerful woman in the prince’s palace. As for Ye Qinglan, of course she is innocent.
Implicated.
Even Concubine Lin could think of such a reason without anyone having to tell her. It was precisely because of this that she felt more and more unable to argue, and her back was covered in cold sweat.
Shen Qiuyu's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly took a step forward, and even spoke of her love for Concubine Lin: "The Crown Princess has always been very considerate of Concubine Lin, and their relationship is very harmonious. I would like to be Concubine Lin.
Guaranteed, she will never tamper with the sweet soup."
Although it was not clear why Shen Qiuyu changed her temper and spoke for her, Concubine Lin quickly followed the words and said: "Concubine, I would like to say something treacherous and heartbreaking. If you really want to do something, there are usually many
It’s an opportunity, so why would you rush to do such a thing in the palace? Isn’t this asking for death?”
After the two of them said this, Empress Gu finally calmed down a little. When she thought about it more carefully, she couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart. Could it be that Concubine Zheng secretly ordered someone to do something about this?
If we think about it further, this bowl of sweet soup comes from the small kitchen of Fengyi Palace. If there is really a problem in the kitchen, doesn't it mean that Concubine Zheng's hand has reached out to Fengyi Palace...
Empress Gu's mind was racing and she ordered without hesitation: "Go and call everyone in the kitchen and let Concubine Lin identify them one by one. As long as they were present at the time, no one can be missed."
The concubine-in-law immediately responded and hurriedly retreated.
Several imperial doctors discussed in low voices together and wrote a prescription. After the palace maid standing by took the prescription, she hurriedly ran to the imperial hospital to get the medicine and decoct it.
Empress Gu looked at Concubine Lin who was kneeling on the ground again, and said calmly: "Okay, don't kneel anymore. Bring everyone in the kitchen over later, and you can take a good look at the people who were there at that time."
Identify them all and check them one by one. If there is a problem with them, you can clear your suspicions. Otherwise..."
Otherwise, she said it coldly and pitifully. Concubine Lin couldn't help but shudder again.
Shen Qiuyu glanced at Concubine Lin vaguely, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and then quickly lowered her eyelids, her face calm again.
Zhang Yue thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Aunt, it's better to send a letter out of the palace as soon as possible so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his cousin will know about it as soon as possible." It is a serious matter, and the sooner you let them know about it, the better, so as not to delay it for a long time in the future.
There was a feeling of dissatisfaction in my heart.
Queen Gu nodded without thinking.
The news that Mo and Ye Qinglan were poisoned by accidental food reached the ears of the prince and Gu Xinian an hour later.
After the prince learned about this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly rode to the Ministry of Household Office. As soon as he arrived at the Office of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he saw that there was no one in the office of the Minister of Household Affairs. However, the little eunuch who went to deliver the letter had not had time.
Walk.
"Where's Mr. Gu?" The prince looked worried.
The little eunuch responded tremblingly: "After I reported the letter, Gu Shilang rushed out without saying a word. I thought that Gu Shilang must have already entered the palace." He paused and then cautiously returned.
He added: "I look at you, Gu Shilang's face is really ugly..."
Gu Xinian has always been famous for his calm expression when he comes to Mount Tai. Although he is only twenty-three years old, he is as serious as those who have been in the officialdom for decades. Not to mention losing his composure in public, even with that level of indifference
The mask of politeness rarely wavered. Even on the day he married Shen Qiuyu, Gu Xinian only looked pale and lost his mind for a moment, then straightened up and managed to survive that day...
But Gu Xinian was like this. After hearing that Ye Qinglan had an accident, he couldn't even take care of basic manners. This shows the status of Ye Qinglan in his heart. If Ye Qinglan really has a good thing and a bad thing, I really don't know that Gu Xi
What was the reaction at the annual meeting? If this matter is investigated, Concubine Lin will never be able to escape responsibility. How could Gu Xinian not express his anger?
The worry in the prince's heart suddenly increased. Without saying a word, he got on his horse and hurried to the palace. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, and your support.
