It only takes one day.
Eunuch Hong had already checked everything around the emperor, including food, clothing and clothing.
The emperor said with a dark face: "How?"
Eunuch Hong was worried and lowered his voice: "The emperor sometimes didn't use the supplements sent by Concubine Shu, and sometimes he didn't use them up, so he gave them to the people below. Among them, Xiaoluzi, Xiaolizi, and Xiaoxiazi used them the most. Several children have said that they have been feeling sleepy recently."
These words basically convicted Concubine Shu!
Anger welled up in the emperor's heart!
After sneering, he said: "Okay, okay, okay!"
"I want to see what else the Li family plans to do!"
Eunuch Hong was sculpting at the side and said nothing.
When Concubine Shu came to deliver supplements again, the emperor did not show any difference. He looked at Concubine Shu with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, concubine!"
Concubine Shu said softly: "In the past, I was ignorant and didn't know how to understand the emperor. Now I know how hard the emperor has been. From now on, I will wash my hands and make soup for the emperor every day."
The cold light in the emperor's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and said: "I have been feeling sleepy recently. It seems that I am tired. I just need to take good care of my body. I have worked hard to love my concubine."
Concubine Shu smiled even more happily: "The emperor likes my concubine's craftsmanship, it is my blessing!"
"Put it down. I'll come over and drink after reading these memorials."
"Your Majesty, remember to drink," Concubine Shu told her, then she bowed and left.
After walking out of the Chengqian Hall, the smile on Concubine Shu's face became even bigger! It finally worked.
When Yi'er arrived in Beijing, she took the remaining medicine together!
After Concubine Shu left, the smile on the emperor's face disappeared. He and Eunuch Hong looked at the bowl of soup, and it was the emperor who spoke.
"Please send me a message to ask for Ping An's pulse."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chen Qing hurried over: "Your Majesty."
After clearing everyone in the palace, Eunuch Hong brought the ginseng soup sent by Concubine Shu to Chen Qing: "Mr. Chen, look at it, is there anything wrong with this bowl of soup?"
After hearing this, Chen Qing looked solemn. She took out the silver needle from the medicine box and tried it. The silver needle did not change color.
Chen Qing brought it to her nose again, smelled it carefully, took out a little bit and tasted it.
Finally, he said: "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this bowl of ginseng soup."
After hearing this, the emperor said with disdain: "I really have raised a bunch of losers! What is the use of this hospital of yours?"
"When the prince was in coma, you couldn't find out the cause. Now, a bowl of poisonous ginseng soup is placed in front of you, and you still tell me that there is nothing wrong!"
Chen Qing hurriedly knelt down: "I am scared!
"snort!"
Chen Qing begged: "Can you give me some time to study it carefully?"
The emperor waved his hand in agreement, and then said: "Don't let others find out. Drinking too much of this decoction will make people weak and drowsy, just like I am now."
Chen Qing opened her eyes wide after hearing this, and her gray beard trembled. Someone actually poisoned the emperor!
He checked Ping'an's pulse on the emperor every day, but he didn't find it, and the old man broke out in a cold sweat.
He lowered his head and kowtowed: "I deserve to die!"
After thinking for a while, Chen Qing said again: "Is it possible for me to take a closer look at the emperor's pulse?"
Chen Qing, like Eunuch Hong, was the emperor's confidant. Therefore, the emperor did not really want to punish Chen Qing, so he stretched out his hand to let Chen Qing take his pulse.
Chen Qing searched for a long time and found no signs of poisoning, but the emperor was obviously much weaker, with a weak spleen and strong liver fire.
He had always thought that it was because the emperor had not had a good rest due to the busy state affairs recently and was angry, but he did not expect that the emperor was actually poisoned.
After taking his pulse, Chen Qing knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this poison has caused you to have spleen deficiency and liver fire, so you are sleepy. You need to take a good rest in the past few days. I will wait until I find out what kind of poison it is, and then consider how to treat it."
The emperor gave Concubine Shu's ginseng soup to Chen Qing, hoping that he could research the antidote as soon as possible.
After Chen Qing left anxiously, the emperor told Eunuch Hong: "Go to the Criminal Department to bring back a death row prisoner who is about my age. From now on, I will give him the supplements sent by Concubine Shu and drink them all."
"yes."
Eunuch Hong went to do it immediately.
Thinking of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing that the Li family was now in charge of, the emperor pressed his eyebrows.
The prince reminded the emperor that after knowing that Eunuch Hong was already investigating, he stopped asking about the matter.
My father is not a fool. As long as he becomes suspicious, there will be no escape from his eyes. It depends on how he handles it in person!
If he directly withdraws the mighty general and punishes Concubine Shu, it means that the father still wants to save the lives of his third brother and the Li family.
If my father fails to do anything, I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm later!
If the father doesn't mention it, he shouldn't get involved too much, otherwise the father will misunderstand that he is the one who guides it, which would be bad.
...
The condemned prisoner brought out by Eunuch Hong drank enough of the ginseng soup sent by Concubine Shu every time. After more than half a month, he began to fall asleep for most of the day.
The emperor also followed suit and pretended to be drowsy every day.
When attending court, they often doze off.
The mighty general saw it and was secretly happy.
The ministers discussed it a lot.
They all asked for news.
On this day, Minister Shu could not help but approach the prince: "Your Highness, the emperor's body?"
The prince hesitated for a while and then said: "I don't know."
"The imperial doctor said there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that I've been tired recently. Don't worry. Father knows it well."
After hearing this, Shi Lang Shu felt a little more at ease.
Concubine Shu's mother's family is in charge of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Now that the emperor is young and powerful, there will naturally be no problems. However, if something suddenly goes wrong with the emperor and the prince ascends the throne, he is afraid of problems.
"That's good, I'll take my leave." Shu Shilang bowed and walked away.
The prince gave him away.
Then he turned around and went to Chengqian Hall.
"Your Highness." Eunuch Hong met the prince. After informing him, he respectfully led the prince in.
"How is Father?"
Eunuch Hong smiled and said, "Everything is well, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, the prince breathed a sigh of relief. It was just as he expected. It seemed that his father was ready to take this opportunity to clear out the forces in the Qing Dynasty!
I don’t plan to keep my third brother anymore!
"Father."
"Jin'er is here." When the emperor saw the prince, his expression softened and he stopped pretending to be asleep: "Don't worry, my father is fine."
The prince nodded: "As long as your father is fine, I will go back first."
"Okay, Jin'er, your East Palace should also pay attention to the investigation. Especially since the Crown Princess is pregnant now, the people around her must be cautious."
The emperor is used to being a mother to the prince, so when he thinks that this poison is colorless and odorless, and his love cannot be found out, his son will have a hard time having a child, which makes him unavoidably worried.
The prince's expression tightened: "My son, I know."
After the emperor finished worrying about the prince, he explained: "I will act as if I was poisoned. No matter what happens later, don't worry."
...
The emperor no longer went to the harem. Concubine Shu and other concubines in the harem came to see the emperor. During several visits, Eunuch Hong said that the emperor was sleeping.
Concubine Shu was happy at the same time, but also a little sad at the same time.
This is the only man she has ever loved in her life!
Now, she wanted to poison him with her own hands and kill him!
Who told the emperor to send Yi'er away? It would be fine if she couldn't be the queen, but Yi'er couldn't feel aggrieved.
Thinking about it, Concubine Shu didn't feel sad anymore. It didn't matter if she loved the emperor again, but the emperor didn't love her.
