Yu Wenhao was so anxious that his mouth was boiling and he couldn't eat anything. Seeing that Yuan Qingling was not in so much pain, he took Tang Yang Xu Yi to investigate.
He was already on tight guard, but he still let someone take advantage of the loophole. How could he not be so anxious that he smoked?
After all, he had been a governor of Jingzhao. Although he had not been in the job for a long time, he still understood the basic procedures for handling cases.
The food Yuan Qingling ate has been checked, but the source has not been traced.
The imperial court distributes most of the daily food for the palace.
The Prince of Chu's Mansion gets thirty kilograms of pork and twenty kilograms of mutton every day. The rest of the rice, grains, fruits and vegetables vary. First check the ingredients in the palace. There is no problem.
Then I checked the source of the purchase from outside, and asked someone to inquire directly. However, there was a shortage of money, and I would never dare to poison it and fool it.
Moreover, the imperial doctor said that Yuan Qingling was not poisoned.
After investigating everything and finding nothing, Yu Wenhao returned to the house, frustrated and angry. Tang Yang ordered someone to serve tea. Yu Wenhao took a few sips, looked at the green tea soup, suddenly put it down, and his eyes flashed slightly. He said, "There is still something that I haven't checked yet."
, water source.”
There are two wells in Fuzhongtong, one for cooking and drinking, and the other for daily use.
However, some water will be stored in the water tank in the kitchen. When you need to use it, you can directly get the water from the water tank without having to go to the well for some water.
Yuan Qingling has a private water tank because she needs special attention to her diet. The lids of other water tanks are often opened and are easily stained, so she has a separate water tank.
Xu Yi opened Yuan Qingling's water tank and took a closer look. He saw many banana leaves under the water tank.
Because the color of the water tank was copper-yellow, after the banana leaves were soaked in water, the color also faded to some green and slightly yellowish. In addition, the grandmother's eyes were dim and she could not see clearly when she took the water. Therefore, she did not know that there were banana leaves in it.
Xu Yi reached in and stirred it, and saw many peach blossoms pressed under the banana leaves.
Dr. Cao came with him. When he saw the banana leaves and peach blossoms, his eyes suddenly popped out of surprise, "Oh my God, no wonder the princess's pulse is so weak and cold. She actually used banana leaves and peach blossoms to soak in water."
Yu Wenhao didn't understand pharmacology and asked, "Will soaking banana leaves in water cause vomiting and diarrhea?"
Doctor Cao paused and said, "My good prince, banana leaves are inherently cold in nature, and peach blossoms have the effect of cold and dysentery. Mixing the two together, ordinary people can use it without any problem, but the princess can't, even if it is not a potion that has been tortured
, it doesn’t work, because she had taken Purple Gold Decoction earlier, Your Majesty, Purple Gold Decoction is a powerful substance that damages the lungs and liver. The princess got pregnant without taking good care of herself. Her physical constitution is already weaker than that of ordinary people. Now it is difficult to eat and drink, and her blood is weak.
If you don’t continue, how can you not have abdominal cramps if you continue to use such drugs that strengthen deficiency and cold and strengthen laxatives? If it is more serious..."
Dr. Cao didn't dare to continue talking, but his face turned pale and his body was trembling.
Yu Wenhao's heart felt like it was being squeezed and oppressed, "If it's more serious, what will happen?"
Dr. Cao's eyes had more whites than his eyes, as if he was about to faint at any moment when he rolled his eyes. "If it's serious, it will kill four people!"
"Bold!" Yu Wenhao was furious and shouted sharply.
Doctor Cao was already crumbling like a dangerous wall. When Yu Wenhao roared, his hooves became weak and he knelt down, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Yu Wenhao was furious, "I will not calm down my anger. Check, Xu Yi, Tang Yang, check for me. Who put these things down?"
There are only a few people who have access to the kitchen, so it is not difficult to investigate.
In fact, there is no need to investigate, because the little beggar is secretly watching
I saw someone put it in, and that person was the cook Zhou Gui.
Zhou Gui was the cook sent to the mansion by the old lady of Jinghou Mansion, who was said to specialize in cooking Yuan Qingling's food.
During the early stages of Yuan Qingling's pregnancy, Yuan Qingling was very satisfied with the food he made. At least, she could eat two bites. After all, she was vomiting to death in the early stages.
Zhou Gui confessed without much torture, saying that it was the old lady of Jinghou Mansion who instigated it.
Er Hao, who reported this to Yu Wenhao, didn't believe it. He interrogated him personally and used severe torture. Zhou Gui just bit him to death. It was the old lady's order. As for why the old lady gave such an order, he said he didn't know. He just
Follow the old lady's orders.
However, it is obvious that the old lady has never been to the mansion. Even if the old lady gave orders, she would still find someone to pass the message.
Following the clues, I found the Jinghou Mansion. The person who sent the message was the old servant A Quan who was serving in the old lady's house.
Fortunately, Ah Quan had returned to his hometown two days ago. The old lady thought that he was old, so she gave him a favor.
Yu Wenhao ordered people to ask, and it was indeed the old lady who personally asked him to return to his hometown, which had to make Yu Wenhao suspicious.
The last thing he expected was the old lady.
Because the only person in Lao Yuan’s natal family who is reliable and trustworthy is the old lady.
Her parents are heartless people.
Moreover, Lao Yuan was particularly loving and filial to the old lady. If she knew that it was the old lady who ordered people to harm her, I am afraid that there would really be only a trace left in her life.
Yu Wenhao ordered it to be kept secret, and he went to the old lady himself to ask.
When Yu Wenhao stepped into the old lady's yard, his mood was particularly complicated.
He accompanied Lao Yuan to see the old lady, that kind and majestic old man. It was hard to believe that she would harm his own granddaughter.
There was a piece of land in the old lady's yard where several banana plants were planted. In early March, the banana leaves were so green that it stung Yu Wenhao's eyes.
"Your Majesty is here?" Mother Sun came out and saw Yu Wenhao standing in the yard, looking intently at the banana tree, so she quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Old slave, I'm here to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty is here, why don't you call someone to announce it?
So that the old slave can welcome you."
Yu Wenhao's eyes were light, "Is the old lady inside?"
"Here, I'm making some clothes." Sun's mother said with a smile.
She led Yu Wenhao inside. There was a heater in the room, and the doors and windows were slightly open. Although the wind blowing in was cold, it was not biting, and it was a bit intoxicating.
The old lady was sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed, fiddling with a small piece of clothing in her hands. Her movements were very fast, flying up and down, and a row of needlework holes fell down.
There are several pieces of clothes that have been made nearby. They are small and cute, making people feel happy when they see them.
However, Yu Wenhao couldn't be happy.
He watched the old lady raise her head. She was a little stunned in her eyes, but then her expression tightened, her feet moved down, and she asked urgently, "Did you make a move?"
Mother Sun quickly went over to help her up and said, "Don't worry. If you make a move, why will the prince come again? He must be guarding the princess."
The old lady looked relieved and said, "Okay, it's not enough to do it now. It's best to keep it in the stomach for a while."
She looked at Yu Wenhao and saw that his expression was different. Then she remembered that he had ordered someone to ask about Ah Quan before, so she knew something might be wrong, so she asked him to sit down and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yu Wenhao looked at her and asked, "That Ah Quan, you sent him away?"
