As soon as these words came out, the face of the nanny beside him changed instantly, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Qingwan, "Princess, are you telling the truth?"
Lin Qingwan's expression became more serious, "If you don't believe me, you can call an imperial doctor over. Anyone with good medical skills will most likely be able to smell it."
Princess Yuanmin's throat moved and she became more and more panicked. Unfortunately, no one else's eyes were on her, so they didn't notice anything strange about her.
"Your Majesty, our mother-in-law is allergic to gardenia. You also know this. Who is so vicious that she added gardenia pollen to the eye ointment? Wouldn't this cost our mother-in-law her life? ?”
The more she spoke, the louder she became, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes, probably because she was angry and sad.
At this moment, Lin Qingwan also walked up to Xuan Qianchen and looked at him with cold eyes, "As for the secret matter that Concubine Jing is allergic to gardenias, does the prince think that I also know about it?"
"And... I never add any flower petals to my medicinal materials, let alone some meaningless spices. If you don't believe it, I can take out all the ointments on my body and you can check them one by one."
This voice was so serious that it was hard not to believe it.
Coupled with what Lin Qingwan said just now, everyone now started to look at each other in confusion.
Mammy looked around and said, "The only people in the house who know that our lady is allergic to gardenias, so... who mixed pollen in the ointment, admit it quickly and avoid some skin and flesh pain."
At this moment, it was already clear that someone had deliberately tampered with Concubine Jing's medicine, and then framed Lin Qingwan.
Xuan Qianchen's movements were a little stiff, but Lin Qingwan was indeed right. In this harem, the slightest shortcoming would be a sign of being framed by others, so no one knew about Concubine Jing's allergy to gardenia except those who stayed with Concubine Jing.
The only people who can do anything are the people in the house.
The maids knelt down one after another, with very panicked expressions on their faces, and hurriedly excused themselves, "Your Majesty, we are all old people next to the queen, how could we do such a thing? The queen is not kind to us on weekdays, there is no way we would use this method. Plant a dirty trick!"
Others also echoed, Xuan Qianchen's eyes were very cold, and he scanned the people in the room, trying to see some clues on their faces.
But there was nothing, only panic and fear.
At this time, Princess Yuanmin on the side had already clenched her fingers. Seeing that Xuan Qianchen was about to get angry, she quickly stepped forward and said: "Brother Qianchen, the people around my aunt are indeed old people, and they probably won't do this. What’s more, it’s about my aunt’s life, so they don’t dare to do it.”
After saying this, she deliberately turned her head and glanced at Lin Qingwan, then blinked and said, "Did the princess suddenly put pollen in when she was making the ointment, but forgot about it later? Brother Qianchen, the house The people inside are all palace maids and eunuchs who are loyal to the Lord, so it’s best not to accuse them unjustly.”
With these few words, he completely bought over the palace maids and eunuchs. A group of people nodded repeatedly and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is impossible for us to do such a thing. Maybe... maybe the Princess has forgotten. Please be careful, Your Majesty."
In an instant, everyone turned their attention to Lin Qingwan.
Lin Qingwan's eyelids twitched and she couldn't help but sneered again, "Oh, really?"
After saying that, she picked up the ointment and glanced at the window, "Gardenias only bloom for a few months every year. If I accidentally add pollen, it can only prove that I did it during the gardenia blooming season." This ointment. As long as you find an imperial doctor to carefully examine the time of this ointment, everything will be clear, right?"
She actually doubted a doctor's control over her medication. She would never add anything casually, and would even check the ointment regularly after it was made to see if it had deteriorated. Adding pollen will only speed up the spoilage.
Princess Yuanmin kept pouring dirty water on herself, and the expression on her face was a little guilty. Could it be that she was behind it?
not to mention……
Not many people knew that Concubine Jing was allergic to gardenia. Princess Yuanmin was one of them, and she was also the most likely person to come into contact with the ointment.
Everything seemed to have surfaced from the bottom of the water, but just saying his guess like this would make Xuan Qianchen furious again, saying that she had wrongly accused people at will.
Xuan Qianchen was obviously still a little suspicious of Lin Qingwan. He turned to look at the guard behind him and said, "Go and call the imperial doctor."
Being upright and not afraid of slanted shadows, Lin Qingwan was naturally not afraid of others checking her.
About a quarter of an hour later, an imperial physician hurriedly ran in from the door, somewhat out of breath.
Looking at the scene in the room, he hurriedly saluted to the others.
Xuan Qianchen just nodded slightly, and then handed over the ointment in his hand, "Go and check to see how long ago this ointment was made."
The imperial doctor did not dare to be careless, so he took the ointment with both hands, squeezed out the paste, spread it on the back of his hand, and then sniffed it gently.
"Your Majesty, this ointment was made about four or five months ago, when it was most effective."
Four or five months ago?
Xuan Qianchen silently calculated in his mind that it was not the time for gardenias to bloom at that time, and it was even difficult to find a gardenia.
So... Lin Qingwan couldn't be careless.
He tightened his fist slightly and scanned the other people in the room again, "You go back first."
After the imperial doctor left, the man became furious and slapped the table so hard that the legs of the table split. "Who added pollen to the ointment? If he admits it, I will spare him the death penalty. If he is investigated by me, If you come out, your life will be worse than death."
The palace maids were even more frightened and kept looking left and right, hoping that the person who added pollen would come out quickly. But there was still no movement, and no one acknowledged it.
Lin Qingwan kept staring at Princess Yuanmin's expression. She accidentally noticed that Princess Yuanmin lowered her eyelids when Xuan Qianchen said this, and even touched her nose with her hand.
This is obviously a sign of guilty conscience.
She sneered, no wonder she dared to make a fuss about Concubine Jing. It turned out that Princess Yuanmin controlled all this behind the scenes.
"Of course no one will admit it if you ask like this." Lin Qingwan rolled her eyes and instantly came up with an idea. She slowly walked forward to Xuan Qianchen, said this, and then smiled, "I have an idea, but I don't know if the prince believes me."
The man stared at her expression carefully. For some reason, he suddenly felt that even if she gave it a try, it wouldn't be a big deal.
