After Yuan Qingling went out, he said a few words to Concubine Lu.
"Now that the prince's condition has improved, we must pay attention to his diet and be sure not to be tampered with."
"Do you still think someone will do something to him?" Concubine Lu asked.
Yuan Qingling thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say. It's better to be careful."
Today, she heard Concubine Lu say that Concubine Ji was ill yesterday, and she felt a little uneasy for some reason.
Prince Ji and his wife were Sima Zhao's favorites, and everyone on the street knew them.
Now that Yu Wenhao has taken the position of the governor of Jingzhao, how can the couple watch her cure King Huai and make meritorious service?
Therefore, they will definitely try their best to deal with King Huai. It is best if King Huai dies from poisoning and points out that her medicine is poisonous, then she, the doctor in charge, will not be able to clean her up.
Concubine Lu now believed in Yuan Qingling. After listening to her instructions, she ordered people to keep an eye on King Huai's food.
However, at noon, King Huai suffered from unprovoked abdominal pain, vomiting, and dizziness, which were signs of food poisoning.
Fortunately, the medicine box was powerful, and the saline solution for gastric lavage was immediately available. After gastric lavage, King Sun was no longer seriously injured, but after all this trouble, King Huai really seemed to have escaped from death.
Concubine Lu was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
However, King Huai's food was all handled by people around Concubine Lu, and Concubine Lu trusted them. Finally, a retainer in Prince Huai's Mansion said: "It's possible that this is medicine added to the ingredients. The ingredients are purchased outside every day. If
If you are targeted by someone who is interested, it is definitely possible to take action."
Concubine Lu then ordered someone to check the ingredients brought in today. There was nothing wrong with the ingredients, but a piece of lean meat had gone bad.
The weather is neither cold nor hot, so it shouldn't change so quickly.
Someone still tampered with it.
However, the retainer said: "Even if the meat has gone bad, there won't be any signs of poisoning, right?"
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Your Majesty has food poisoning. Meat that has gone stale can cause food poisoning. Others may be fine if they eat it. At most, they will suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhea. But Your Majesty is weak and it may kill him if he eats it."
Yuan Qingling actually felt that it was more than that, but since nothing could be found out, it would prevent Concubine Lu from making a big move. If she couldn't find out in the end, someone would lose his head.
So, she said: "Just pay more attention in the future."
After this whole scene, Concubine Lu felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy, looking at everyone with suspicion.
King Sun also came over in the evening. He said he would treat Yuan Qingling to a big dinner, and he kept his promise. He brought a food box.
The food box was four stories high and contained four dishes, all of which were large meat dishes. The last dish was pork ribs in sauce. Sun Wang was drooling as he took it out.
Princess Luoping and Princess Wenjing came to see it and made fun of King Sun for being stingy and only hiding to eat.
King Sun said confidently: "This is what I specially invited her to eat to reward her for curing the sixth child."
"It's just for the fifth daughter-in-law to eat. Why are you eating along with me?" Princess Wenjing said with a smile.
"What's the point of not accompanying the guests?" King Sun was still very confident.
The two princesses knew that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, so they stopped laughing at him.
Dinner was being served inside, and everyone went in to eat. Only Yuan Qingling and Sun Wang were left eating outside. Aunt Xi stayed with them to avoid suspicion.
Yuan Qingling was still thinking about today's poisoning.
The most suspicious ones are actually the people from Prince Ji's Mansion.
It is possible that Princess Ji was not ill. When something happened to King Huai, she would jump out and say that it was because she, Yuan Qingling, had framed her and became depressed and ill. This possibility is not impossible.
"What are you thinking about?" King Sun pointed at the food, "Eat it, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Yuan Qing moved his chopsticks and said, "Okay, second brother will eat too."
King Sun ate naturally, and he ate quite a lot. He almost didn't chew a piece of meat in one bite, and he ate even more ferociously than Duobao.
"I heard that Lao Liu was poisoned today." Sun Wang asked as his mouth slowly became oily.
"Second brother also knows?"
"I know, Ah Ling said it as soon as I came here." King Sun snorted, "Those people really don't pay attention to my father less and less."
"Second brother, do you know who it is?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"You know it, how could you not know it? It's a pity that there is no evidence."
Yes, I suffer from the lack of evidence.
In fact, the emperor should be the one who could see the thoughts of King Ji most clearly. Why did the emperor never step in to stop him?
If the emperor intervened, he might not dare to be so arrogant.
Could it be said that the emperor really liked him?
But in this case, how could the other princes possibly survive?
Yuan Qingling couldn't help but feel worried.
The Sacred Heart is unpredictable.
Yuan Qingling asked: "Second brother, in fact, my father should understand in his heart, right?"
King Sun occasionally has unexpected insights, so it doesn't hurt to listen.
King Sun shook his head, "I don't know. Who can guess what my father is thinking? Anyway, for me, as long as I don't get scolded by my father, it's already a blessing."
This is true. As the obese and well-fed person in charge of the royal family, King Sun is really quite useless.
King Sun stared at the piece of pork elbow. It was the last piece. Yuan Qingling only ate a little, and he destroyed the rest.
"Eat, I won't eat." Yuan Qingling knew that he wanted to eat, so she said.
Sun Wang's eyes widened when he saw it, and he slowly put down his chopsticks, "I won't eat anymore. I want to lose weight."
"You really don't want to eat anymore?" Yuan Qingling asked with a smile.
King Sun looked at it for a while, then slowly shook his head, "I really don't want to eat anymore, I have to be more persistent."
He immediately ordered his people to move away, lest he could not bear to look at it again.
He needs to control his appetite. If a person can control his appetite, he can control everything.
After eating, Yuan Qingling wandered in the yard for a long time, but Yu Wenhao hadn't come to pick her up yet.
Gu Si didn't come either, but Gu Si probably wouldn't come today, as he had said so in the morning.
When it was almost 1 hour, Xu Yi arrived. When he saw Yuan Qingling, he wanted to kowtow to Yuan Qingling and thank Yuan Qingling for interceding on his behalf so that he could return to the prince.
Yuan Qingling interrupted him, "Where is the prince?"
"The prince can't come so soon, so I'll let you send the princess back first." Xu Dao said.
"He is so busy." Yuan Qingling couldn't help but be concerned, "Has he eaten?"
"Eat? Where can I eat? I haven't had lunch yet. There was a big case in Beijing today, and another family was wiped out." Xu Yi sighed.
Yuan Qingling frowned. On the one hand, she sighed for the deceased; on the other hand, she felt distressed because Yu Wenhao had no food to eat.
"It's still the same as before, with only one child left." Xu Dao said.
Yuan Qingling really hoped that the murderer would be brought to justice soon, but she couldn't help with this matter, so she said: "Let's go."
Xu Yiyi said: "Okay, the carriage is outside."
When King Sun heard this, he said, "Send me a ride."
"The prince didn't hit the horse?" Xu Yi asked.
King Sun shook his head, "I have lost weight recently and walk all the time when I go out."
This is strictly required by Princess Sun.
Xu Yi smiled and said: "That's okay."
Because Prince Sun wanted to be in the carriage with him, he did not leave Grandma Xi at Prince Huai's mansion tonight and took her with him into the carriage.
Yuan Qingling doesn't pay much attention to these things, and so happens King Sun. With Grandma Xi here, it can be regarded as avoiding suspicion.
Before leaving, Yuan Qingling repeatedly warned Concubine Lu to pay attention to King Huai's diet.
After what happened at noon today, how dare Concubine Lu dare to be careless? Naturally, she ordered people to closely monitor her and guard her at all levels to make sure that every sip of water King Huai drank was clean.
The carriage left Prince Huai's Mansion.
Prince Sun's Mansion and Prince Chu's Mansion are not far from each other and are adjacent to three streets, so they are all in the same direction.
It was past Haishi, and almost no one was walking on the street, and all the shops were closed. There were no street lights in ancient times, and only King Sun's servant and Xu Yi were sitting in front of the carriage, holding a lantern in their hands for lighting.
