Su Xiyue was also a little hesitant. She had already foreseen that this would happen, but did she really want to tell the emperor about the truth later?
"Xixi, what's wrong with you?"
Su Xiyue shook her head, "Mrs. Leng just entered the palace with a purse hidden in her sleeve. I asked Liang Chen to take it to find Liu Ruyi. In addition, the news of the Queen's poisoning could not have spread to the Wuchang Marquis Mansion so quickly, so,
I think Mrs. Leng has something else to do. Let’s go in too. Don’t worry, I know what to say and what not to say.”
Seeing that she was not afraid or worried, King Rui nodded, "Okay, let's go."
The two of them arrived at Kunning Palace unhurriedly, and saw that everyone in the palace looked panicked and walked more than twice as fast as usual! The two of them looked at each other and it seemed that the Queen's poisoning was indeed a major issue in the whole palace.
There was a huge uproar in the harem. You don't need to think about it to know who might be the most unlucky this time!
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has already checked and found out that a trace amount of arsenic was added to this ginseng soup. However, this dose is not enough to cause the queen to be so poisoned. Wei Chen is also a little confused about this.
"
King Rui and Princess Rui entered the palace. At this moment, Mrs. Leng seemed to be inside.
"Your Majesty, if it is only used once, it will not be like this. What if the empress uses it for several days?"
Upon hearing this, the imperial doctor below nodded and said, "Mrs. Leng's words make sense. If she had used it for several days, the queen would most likely have become as unconscious as she is now. But, does the empress use this ginseng soup every day?
"
The serving maid shook her head and said, "The empress does not use ginseng soup every day, but only occasionally. However, the empress has always loved to use soup. Everyone in the harem knows this. The empress will use a bowl of soup for every meal, and then
Only then will we start eating.”
"You mean, someone put arsenic in the queen's food every day, but the amount was not large, and it was difficult to identify? It's just that these meals have been tested by eunuchs and maids with silver needles. How?
Will you find out?"
"Now, back to the emperor, I have heard of this kind of situation before. I wonder what your Majesty's utensils are?"
The emperor's eyes flashed, "You mean, someone tampered with the queen's dishes?"
"Back to the emperor, I'm not sure now." The imperial doctor said tremblingly.
"Check! Go down and check for me immediately! The emperor lives deep in Kunning Palace, and he was actually poisoned! Someone, please bring me the Minister of Dali Temple to investigate this matter strictly."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Concubine Hui's face looked a little ugly. Ordinarily, it would be the turn of a Dali Temple official to investigate the affairs in the harem? There is a Ministry of Internal Affairs, a Supervisor of Ceremonies, a Chief Secretary of the Palace, and the eunuchs in charge of each house. But.
What does it mean that the emperor is unwilling to use them now? It just means that the emperor does not believe in her! He does not believe in him who is temporarily holding the Phoenix Seal of the Sixth Palace! Concubine Hui's mind was a little confused for a moment. She has been able to live a prosperous life in the palace these years.
, the biggest reliance is nothing more than the emperor's favor! But now, once the emperor loses trust in her, where will there be any favor in the future?
"Your Majesty, I am responsible for my incompetence in managing the harem. I ask the Emperor to punish me." Concubine Hui's response was not slow. She knew to admit her mistake first. At the very least, she must not make the Emperor feel disgusted with her. Otherwise, the next plan
, then all the efforts will fall short!
King Rui and Su Xiyue, on the other hand, looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses. They did not mention a word about the Queen's poisoning. They neither spoke for the Queen nor interceded for Concubine Hui.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua sent someone from her place. They said that Concubine Hua also suddenly fell into a coma! Can you see?"
"What? Hurry, Dr. Xuan, go and see her quickly." The emperor looked worried. This concubine had been with him for many years, and she never competed for favor. The emperor naturally paid special attention to her.
"Yes, Your Majesty." After receiving the Emperor's order, the chamberlain naturally understood the Emperor's thoughts and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"Father, the Queen Mother is already here, and there are so many imperial doctors guarding her. Why don't you go see Concubine Hua first, in case she is like the Queen Mother again?"
After listening to King Rui's words, how could the emperor still sit still? On the same day, two people in the harem fell unconscious one after another. If they said that someone did not do it deliberately, no one would believe it! The emperor looked at the kneeling man with a profound look.
Concubine Hui on the ground didn't say anything and went directly to Concubine Hua's palace.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to see my mother first and see if I can be of any help."
"Go ahead."
Su Xiyue entered the bedroom and saw that the queen's lips were purple, her complexion was blue, and her eyes were black. These were indeed obvious symptoms of poisoning. But was it really Concubine Hui who did it? Su Xiyue didn't believe it, so she brought it up.
Come in and take a look.
"Come here, my wife. The way our mother is doing now is the filial piety we, as children, should fulfill." Su Xiyue took the medicine bowl from the maid's hand.
"Yes, Your Highness. It's just that it's not easy to feed the queen in this condition."
"It's okay. I just need to be careful." Su Xiyue scooped up a small spoonful of the decoction and slowly brought it to the queen's lips. As expected, the medicine could not be fed in at all! Su Xiyue looked at it
Looking at the queen's tightly closed eyes, if she had poisoned herself, did she also expect this scene?
Several people were naturally very anxious when they saw that the queen could not take the medicine! Su Xiyue had a smile in her eyes, but soon changed to a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry! Come on, you feed me, and I'll open the Queen Mother's mouth. That's all for now. As for the offense afterwards, it has nothing to do with you. Right now, it's still important to save the Queen Mother's life!"
Several people saw that Princess Rui took the initiative to take this kind of behavior that was against etiquette and law. They were naturally happy, and they quickly gave the medicine to the queen and pinched the queen's chin. Su Xiyue knew that the queen was serious this time.
She was poisoned, so she deliberately increased the strength of her hands, and at the same time, scenes of conspiracies and conspiracies quickly jumped into her mind!
What a cruel idea! The majestic mother of a country could actually come up with such a vicious plan! Su Xiyue's eyelashes trembled slightly. It turned out that her purpose was to kill four birds with one stone! What a queen! If not
I have this power of foresight. I am afraid that this time, the Anding Hou Mansion will be completely destroyed by you!
Su Xiyue glanced at the queen gloomily, and tested the poison with herself, hmph! You are so cruel to yourself! You want to use this trick to get rid of Concubine Hui in one fell swoop, and then damage Concubine Hua's body, and then remarry
Su Lian's fault? You have a vicious plan! But since I'm here, you can't even think about it!
