Qing Wan frowned sensitively: "What kind of fragrance is this?"
Yun Qing hurriedly replied: "This is my mother's favorite plum blossom fragrance. Is there any problem?"
Qing Wan said with a serious look: "I can't tell, I just feel like there's something wrong with the taste."
When Ji Yunqing heard what she said, he immediately walked to the incense burner, extinguished the incense burning in the burner, brought it to Qing Wan and said: "This is a new incense produced by Zuixian Ming years ago. My mother and concubine have been using it.
This fragrance is about three or four months old."
Qing Wan looked around, and finally took a piece of white paper from the desk where Concubine De usually used to practice calligraphy and spread it on the table. She also picked up a little incense ash from the incense burner with a spoon, and slowly spread it on the paper.
spread out.
"Is there any problem?" Ji Yunqing came forward curiously. Due to her physical inconvenience, Concubine De just leaned on the couch and watched without getting up.
Qingwan couldn't find anything in the incense ashes, so he took out the half-burned plum blossom fragrance inside. First, he put it under his nose and smelled it, then placed it on paper, crushed it with a spoon and carefully identified it. He found that it was inside
In addition to some common spices, there is also a red powdery object.
Qing Wan pointed to the red object in the spices and said to Ji Yunqing: "That's the problem."
"What is this?" Ji Yunqing knew nothing about fragrances, so she didn't know what Qingwan's question was.
Qing Wan pointed to the red substances and explained: "Someone mixed cinnabar into the incense."
"Cinnabar?" Ji Yunqing was puzzled, "Isn't cinnabar used for dotting eyebrows and applying red eyebrows? I heard that it can also cure diseases. How could it cause poisoning to the mother-in-law?"
Qingwan did not elaborate on the other party, nor did she tell the other party that cinnabar contains mercury, which is a toxic heavy metal. She simply said: "Cinnabar will form a toxic gas after burning, and long-term exposure will cause serious harm to the human body."
of harm.”
"So that's it." Ji Yunqing seemed to understand, but when she thought about those people actually using such a method to deal with her mother and concubine, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, "These people are too sinister, they actually came up with such a method to deal with her.
My mother-in-law." Then she looked at Qingwan for help and said, "Then what should I do now?"
Qing Wan said: "In short, I am determined not to light this incense anymore. In addition, I must detoxify the empress as soon as possible."
"How to solve it?" At this moment, Ji Yunqing placed all her hopes on Qingwan.
Qing Wan said the pressure was really great.
"Well, the folk girl is not a doctor, and she doesn't know the specific prescription. The folk girl only knows that making soup with mung beans and licorice can clear away heat and detoxify. You might as well cook more mung bean soup, mung bean porridge and the like for the empress.
Drink. In addition, you can eat more eggs, meat, and dried fruits such as soybeans, sesame seeds, walnuts, and pine nuts. This is all the folk women know, and you have to ask the doctor for details."
Ji Yunqing looked at her gratefully and said, "I understand, thank you." Then he ran to Concubine De, took Concubine De's hand and said, "Concubine, listen, someone really wants to harm you."
Concubine De held her hand, her expression slightly solemn, she raised her eyes and looked at Qingwan and said, "Thanks to Miss Qingwan this time."
Qing Wan just pulled her lips and smiled, "You don't have to be polite, the queen and the princess, it's just a little help for the common girls." Moreover, if it weren't for Ji Yunqing's repeated request, she actually wouldn't want to wade into this muddy water.
Now, if the person behind the scenes finds out that she is the one who uncovered the mystery of Concubine De's poisoning, we still don't know what means they will use to deal with her.
She is really worried about internal and external troubles now and has too much time to take care of herself.
