Immediately some of the palace people reacted and ran outside. For such a grand palace banquet today, the imperial doctors were naturally on standby in the palace.
The movement here finally caught the emperor's attention. He came over with the queen, Wu Guifei and other concubines. When he saw Xu Caidi's appearance clearly, he was also shocked.
"What's going on?" Fortunately, he didn't lose his temper too much. The emperor came back to his senses and looked at the people in front of him with a frown.
At this time, in this group of people, in addition to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu, there were four or five young ladies from various families. They had gathered together to watch the fireworks lively, but they did not expect that such a change occurred. They haven't come back to their senses yet.
"What happened to my Die'er? Please tell me quickly!" Seeing that these ladies seemed to be frightened, Mrs. Xu asked anxiously.
Only then did all the ladies react. The young lady who noticed the situation first stumbled and spoke: "Just now we were watching the fireworks, but then... Then I wanted to talk to Cai Die, so I turned to look at her. , and found that her face began to change, and the minister was startled, and then she screamed. "
"Besides that? Did anything else happen?" The emperor asked with an unhappy look on his face.
"No...no more. We have been together all the time, and we didn't notice anything strange." The young lady was frightened by the emperor's ugly face, but she still remembered to rope in other companions to testify.
The emperor frowned, then turned to look at Xu Caidi, who had been crying out in pain. He asked her a few related questions, but got similar answers.
Xu Caidi herself also didn't know what happened. She was just watching the fireworks, but she heard her companion next to her scream, and then her face began to feel pain like burning.
After all, if something happened to the legitimate daughter of a second-rank official in front of his eyes, the emperor would have to ask some questions, and such a strange situation also made him cautious.
At this time, the fireworks were still going on, but no one on the terrace was in the mood to watch anymore. Everyone's eyes turned to the place where the incident occurred, quietly waiting for the result.
Wu Zechen only glanced at it lightly. After learning what happened, he turned back to look at Xia Luotong and saw that she was looking at Xu Caidi with relish. He remembered what she had just said about watching the theater. He couldn't help but curl up his lips with a smile and leaned close to her ear.
"But it's Tong'er's masterpiece?"
The warm breath sprayed on his ears, causing a shiver. Xia Luotong shrank his neck subconsciously, glared at him angrily, and then replied: "Of course, it's just that the medicine was taken long ago, otherwise if I If I knew what happened later, I would definitely not have made just this little noise."
Wu Zechen looked at her bulging cheeks and felt so cute. He subconsciously squeezed her soft little hands and then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, none of them can run away."
"That's right." Hearing what Wu Zechen said, Xia Luotong suddenly smiled, "I will definitely repay them for the evil things they did to me!"
The two of them were talking quietly to the side. Not long after, an imperial physician arrived in a hurry. Immediately after the emperor gave an order, the imperial physician who had just arrived immediately started diagnosing Xu Caidi's pulse.
The imperial doctor checked his pulse, and the expression on his face slowly changed. After a moment, he stopped his hand and reported back to the emperor: "Reporting to the emperor, this young lady was poisoned, which is why her face is like this."
The doctors in the imperial hospital have been in the palace all year round and have seen too many situations like this. Therefore, they did not look surprised at all. They also deliberately lowered their voices when reporting back. After all, there were many people on the terrace at this time. This doctor I don’t know what the situation is, so I don’t dare to violate the taboo rashly.
However, the imperial doctor avoided others, but unexpectedly Mrs. Xu screamed.
"What?! Poisoned?! Who wants to harm my daughter?" Mrs. Xu was frightened and angry, but when she thought of her daughter's current face, she hurriedly asked, "Physician, can my daughter's face be cured? That poison can be cured ?”
How could Mrs. Xu not know how important this face was to her daughter’s family? That ordinary-looking woman will be affected to a certain extent if she wants to get married, let alone one like Xu Caidi, whose appearance is completely ruined and her face is horrifying? I'm afraid that even if his father joins the cabinet and pays homage to the prime minister, not many people will be willing to marry Xu Caidi. After all, this is still a matter of face...
Master Xu on the side also frowned and answered: "Please ask the imperial doctor to take the trouble to cure my daughter!"
Mr. Xu is quite fond of Xu Caidi, his legitimate daughter. Not to mention the identity of his legitimate daughter, her appearance and talent alone, although not as good as Liu Yingxue, are still very good. He originally expected This daughter could find a good marriage and help her career, but she didn't expect that something like this would happen.
However, the imperial doctor was a little hesitant: "I'm trying my best, but the poison is quite powerful, and I can't guarantee that I can cure the lady of your house."
Hearing what the imperial doctor said, everyone present looked a bit ugly. Being able to become an imperial doctor already showed his own strength. But now that even the imperial doctor said such words, how can everyone look good?
The Xu family members looked ugly mainly because they were worried about whether Xu Caidi's face could recover, while the emperor and other people in the palace looked ugly because this incident happened in the palace! With such poison appearing in the palace, how can everyone feel at ease? ! Especially the queen and other concubines, they are even more worried. If the poison falls on them and they cannot be cured, and their appearance is completely ruined, it will be no different than being thrown into the cold palace!
Master Xu glanced at Xu Caidi with a serious expression. He didn't even want to look at that frightening face a second time, especially now that Xu Caidi was crying after the pain subsided, and his face was distorted. , that face that seemed to have been burned was even more terrifying, it looked like a ghost!
Mr. Xu withdrew his gaze and immediately bowed to the emperor: "I implore the emperor to investigate this matter and catch the vicious murderer! The murderer is so arrogant that he dared to commit such a crime in this palace and at a palace banquet. Evil deeds should never be forgiven lightly!"
But even if Mr. Xu didn't say anything, the emperor couldn't just sit idly by, so he immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone must return to the palace and not leave. The imperial doctor took the daughter of the Xu family to the side hall for treatment to find out who she had just been exposed to." Which people!"
After giving a series of orders, the emperor walked away. This New Year's Eve made him really troubled. Not only did he fail to get a few things done, but something like this went wrong. Nothing went smoothly in the night!
The emperor gave the order. Even if the people on the terrace were dissatisfied, they could not show it immediately. It was already past midnight and it was the new year, but everyone was left in the palace because of this matter. Most of the people had signs of fatigue on their faces and could only force themselves back to the Baohe Hall.
