Chapter 46

Emperor Ming Yuan and Prince Rui stepped forward to take a look. There was a medicine in it, the center of which was ground to be vermilion. The other medicine was light yellow and light black in color.

"The two pills are different? What's going on?" Prince Rui asked the doctor.

The imperial doctor was confused. "This is impossible. This medicine was refined in one furnace. How can it have different colors?"

"Then please ask the imperial doctor to examine it and see which one is poisonous." Yuan Qing Ling said.

The imperial doctor pointed to the scarlet heart. "It wasn't originally this color, so why is the heart so red?"

He broke some medicine into a cup, poured water on it, and inserted a silver needle. The whole silver needle was black, which showed how toxic it was.

"Your Majesty!" The imperial doctor knelt down with a pop, his lips trembling. "This is absolutely impossible. Someone has changed the medicine. The medicines given by the hospital are all non-toxic and have been tested."

Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes were cold. "Here, please seal the hospital. Check carefully!"

The guards took the order and came out.

Prince Rui looked at Yuan Qingling. "How did you know the medicine was different?"

Yuan Qingling explained: "One medicine is missing, which means someone took one away. Why was it taken away? Obviously there was something wrong with the medicine that was taken away, and Eunuch Chang said that the medicine had been taken away when it was last administered.

It fell on the ground. Then it is possible that the order was messed up. The pill that was taken away was non-toxic, but the pill that should have been taken away is still here."

"Your analysis is right!" Prince Rui's eyes were also filled with coldness, "Someone dares to poison the Supreme Emperor. It's really a life-threatening situation."

Emperor Ming Yuan turned his anger on the imperial doctor. Yuan Qingling hesitated for a moment and said: "Father, I'm afraid the problem may not be with the imperial hospital."

Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her, "What should I say?"

Yuan Qing Ling said: "There are three pills in this pill. If you want to take away the poisonous pill, you only need to take one to replace it. This will not arouse any suspicion. But this person can no longer take out another Nine Turns Pill.

The Nine-Revolution Pill is refined by imperial doctors, so the Imperial Hospital can definitely get more Nine-Revolution Pills, so the missing one will not arouse suspicion."

Emperor Ming Yuan nodded, "That makes sense."

Yuan Qingling continued: "There are three ways for the murderer to get the medicine. One is from the Queen Mother's office, one is from the Supreme Emperor's office, and the other is from Tai Hospital. According to the analysis just now, Tai Hospital can already rule it out, because since the other party can get it from

If you get the medicine from the Imperial Hospital, you can get one more pill. In the same way, the Queen Mother can also rule out that the murderer directly took the Emperor's medicine and brewed it into poison. Because the medicine has a certain amount, after the Emperor was poisoned, the murderer must take it away immediately.

The poisonous medicine remains.”

Prince Rui was puzzled, "Why did this person take an extra poisonous pill? Ordinarily, one pill would have already poisoned the Supreme Emperor."

Yuan Qing Ling said: "If poison is used in a hurry, the dosage cannot be accurately controlled. Therefore, this second pill is a spare. If one pill is not enough, plus the next day's pill, there is complete certainty that the Emperor will be poisoned.

"

"How come your head spins so fast?" Prince Rui admired.

The imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief. The princess's words had already defended Taiyuan. Taiyuan was not suspicious.

Chang Gong said fairly: "But these medicines are only accessible to our family and Grandma Xi, and no one else has access to them."

Grandma Xi came down to bless her body and said, "That's true."

Emperor Ming Yuan had absolute trust in Eunuch Chang and Aunt Xi. They had served the Supreme Emperor for many years. They were very loyal and would never harm the Supreme Emperor.

"How many people can enter the palace to serve?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked Eunuch Chang.

"Back to the Emperor, there are three people, all of whom were promoted by the Supreme Emperor himself."

"Come here, I want to ask questions!" Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes flashed sharply.

"Yes!" Eunuch Chang said and went out.

The ones who serve in the palace are Xiao Quanzi, who is mainly responsible for walking the dog and taking Fu Bao in and out of the palace.

There was another one named Ximei, who served the Emperor in washing.

The other one was Xiao Luozi who was responsible for cleaning the inner hall. The dormitory was very large, so he cleaned it all by himself. The Emperor didn't like liveliness and he was mostly bedridden, so Xiao Luozi basically spent half the day cleaning.

Eunuch Chang brought Xiao Quanzi and Ximei, but Xiao Luozi was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Quanzi and Ximei knew nothing about this matter. When asked, they answered fluently and didn't even know where the medicine was.

Yuan Qing Ling said: "This little Luozi is the key. Since he is responsible for cleaning the dormitory, he will definitely touch the box containing the medicine when he is dusting it. If he knows it is not strange, we must find him immediately."

Emperor Ming Yuan immediately ordered that the entire palace should be searched to find Xiao Luozi.

Half an hour later, Xiao Luozi found it.

However, it was already a cold corpse, which was thrown into the abandoned well of Leng Palace.

The body was discovered by the guards of the Leng Palace. Because Emperor Ming Yuan ordered the whole palace to search for Xiao Quanzi, the guards of the Leng Palace remembered vaguely seeing Xiao Quanzi entering the Leng Palace today, so they searched around and found the body.

The guards of Leng Palace were summoned and Emperor Ming Yuan interrogated him personally.

"Besides Xiao Quanzi, who else has entered the cold palace?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked.

The guard replied: "Back to the emperor, Wei Chen only saw Xiao Quanzi alone. There were only four guards in the cold palace, who patrolled day and night, so Wei Chen really didn't know if anyone came in from behind."

Eunuch Chang also personally searched Xiao Quanzi's bed and found a thousand taels of silver note.

The banknote was issued by Ding Feng.

Yuan Qingling couldn't read banknotes, but when she saw the big seal of the Chu Palace, her heart sank and she opened her mouth to defend, "Father, I can't be the prince."

Emperor Ming Yuan was not a fool, and he naturally knew that if he were the King of Chu, he would definitely not redeem a ticket with the seal of the King of Chu's palace.

The whole thing is because someone wants to frame Lao Wu.

Moreover, the planning was hasty, which shows that it was a temporary preparation. This person probably did not expect that the Emperor's condition would improve.

It can be said that Yuan Qingling's interference caused all his original plans to fail, and he had to prepare another strategy hastily, and this strategy was bound to reveal flaws.

It's just that this flaw would not be discovered by anyone who is not careful, because the Emperor has been taking Nine Turns Pill for many days, and these Nine Turns Pills were recommended by the Empress Dowager, so no one would be suspicious of Nine Turns Pill.

Emperor Ming Yuan thought of this and couldn't help but look at Yuan Qing Ling twice more. When Lao Wu married her, it was indeed not satisfactory. He was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law. However, such a scandal happened and he could only accept it. The royal family could not

Being criticized.

Looking at it now, it seems pleasing to the eye, but the walking posture is a bit strange, like a crab.

He glanced at the imperial doctor, "Why don't you quickly find out what kind of poison it is?"

The imperial doctor quickly said: "Yes, I will check it immediately."

Prince Rui looked at Yuan Qingling, "Do you know?"

Yuan Qingling shook his head, "I'm not proficient in poison."

The imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief. If the princess knew everything, would the hospital still need to exist?

Yuan Qingling could actually basically guess what kind of poison that medicine was.

It should be cinnabar. Cinnabar can be used as medicine, but if you take it in excess, you will be poisoned. This nine-turn elixir originally contains cinnabar. The emperor has been slightly poisoned after taking it for a long time, but it is not a big problem for the time being. If the dosage suddenly increases, that's it.

Incredible.
