Chen Bangzu, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed again, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Ning, the fetus in Princess Chen's belly is safe and sound, and the little grandson is in strong health. In addition, according to Princess Chen's pulse, it is known that the fetuses in Princess Chen's belly are twins. , Congratulations to Your Majesty for gaining two grandsons in one fell swoop!"
After hearing these words, Concubine Ning's body suddenly shook.
How can it be!
Could it be that she didn't drink the bowl of medicine?
Xiyu saw with her own eyes what Lu Qingtang drank?
She couldn't help but look up at Lu Qingtang, who smiled slightly and gave her a contemptuous smile.
Except for Su Mu, no one else knew about being pregnant with twins. She wanted to wait until the fetal position was stable before talking about it.
"it is true?"
Emperor Kang Yuan immediately stood up, the joy on his face difficult to conceal.
"But is it true? Princess Chen is really pregnant with twins?"
Chen Bangzu fell on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital can come and take Princess Chen's pulse."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Emperor Kang Yuan smiled from ear to ear, "Reward, I want to reward the Sixth Palace greatly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Everyone knelt down and thanked him in unison.
"I congratulate Your Majesty, this is your first royal grandson. You must reward Princess Chen well. She is a great contributor to our Daheng Dynasty!" Concubine Shu, who was kneeling below, smiled like a flower.
Emperor Kang Yuan immediately stood up and helped her up, hugged her carefully, and said with a distressed look on his face: "I was looking after Princess Chen just now, and I let my beloved concubine kneel for such a long time. It really shouldn't have happened."
Concubine Shu shook her head, her eyes were full of smiles, and she didn't seem to care at all.
"Your Majesty should care about the emperor's grandchildren. The grandchildren represent the future of the Daheng Dynasty. I am really happy for your majesty!" Concubine Shu leaned against Emperor Kang Yuan tenderly and said with joy.
Seeing Concubine Shu say this, Emperor Kang Yuan was sure in his heart that she would not frame Lu Qingtang.
So why does Xiyu feel comfortable pointing out that Concubine Shu poisoned Lu Qingtang?
How could Emperor Kang Yuan endure such a frame-up of his beloved concubine?
Immediately, Emperor Kang Yuan pointed his finger at Xiyu, who was kneeling in the corner, and said sternly: "You are so bold and a shameless maid, you actually framed Concubine Shu and dragged me out and beat her to death with sticks!"
After hearing this, Xiyu suddenly raised her head, her face instantly turned pale, and she quickly looked at Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning was also looking at her at this moment and gave her a reassuring look.
Xiyu gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I really didn't frame Concubine Shu. The dregs of the medicine are in Biyue Palace. Concubine Shu asked me to destroy the dregs, but I didn't listen and hid it!"
Emperor Kang Yuan heard that this was to solidify the evidence that Concubine Shu had framed Lu Qingtang.
He never knew that Concubine Shu knew medicine, let alone the people around her.
If you deliberately put away the dregs of the medicine, wouldn't you be convinced that you have framed others?
Emperor Kang Yuan looked at Concubine Ning silently. This must be her idea. Since he is seeking death, he will use her plan!
In the past, when he was jealous, he only regarded it as fun, but she actually extended her hand to the emperor's grandson. It was really disgusting!
Why doesn't she understand that this is her grandson too!
"Come here, follow Xiyu to get the medicine residue for verification by the two imperial doctors."
Emperor Kang Yuan gave an order, and the little father-in-law beside him dragged Xiyu away from the side hall on horseback.
But after a while, Xiyu came back with the medicine dregs. Gao Hong didn't dare to test it, so he just knelt in the corner and sighed.
Chen Bangzu picked up the medicine residue and smelled it, and then he knew that it contained cinnabar roots.
"Your Majesty, there is cinnabar root in the medicine residue. Cinnabar root promotes blood circulation and is a taboo for pregnant women!" Chen Bangzu said with a solemn expression, "If Princess Chen takes this medicine, she will definitely have a miscarriage."
After hearing this, Emperor Kang Yuan was immediately shocked and suddenly raised his hand and patted the table, "Bold!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Fortunately, Princess Chen was lucky and did not save the child in her belly. However, the incident occurred in Biyue Palace. Your Majesty must not let the murderer go!" After hearing Emperor Kang Yuan's words, Concubine Ning stood up immediately.
Concubine Shu was immediately startled, "I know that the empress doesn't like me, but when the dregs of the medicine appeared in Biyue Palace, why does it have to be my concubine?"
"Then Concubine Shu, does this mean that I have wronged you? Then how do you explain the matter about this medicine residue?" Concubine Ning couldn't hide her proud eyes.
Concubine Shu must say something at this time, but she is not good at refuting others.
I regretted it as soon as I blurted out the words. Such a rebuttal would only make myself darker.
Feeling anxious, Concubine Shu couldn't help but ask Lu Qingtang for help.
Lu Qingtang comforted her with his eyes, and then said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is right, my daughter-in-law is indeed lucky. When Xiyu came to deliver the medicine, my daughter-in-law was about to drink the cold medicine. What a coincidence, the medicine bowl It's exactly the same as the medicine bowl Xiyu sent. Now that I think about it, it's really a fluke."
Fortunately, Concubine Shu gave her cheese two days ago and left a bowl with goldfish in Longqing Palace. She just happened to use this bowl to confuse Xiyu.
Therefore, Lu Qingtang deliberately asked Feiyu to scatter the gold leaves on the ground. Xiyu, who was greedy for money, would definitely pick them up.
Taking this opportunity, Su Mu quickly changed the bowl of medicine.
In order to make it more realistic, Lu Qingtang took out a bag of jade screen particles from the bracelet space in advance.
This medicine has a bitter and unpleasant taste, which is comparable to that of decoction. Therefore, Lu Qingtang was not acting when he drank the medicine.
It tastes really bad!
After listening to Lu Qingtang's words, Concubine Ning finally understood.
It turns out that what she drank was not poison with cinnabar roots. She came prepared, and she was actually fooled!
Concubine Ning was angry and had another thought. She immediately frowned, "Then why do you have unbearable abdominal pain since you haven't taken the medicine? Could it be that you are just faking it!"
The crime of deceiving the emperor is not a small one. This time he shot himself in the foot.
It depends on how you end up!
"Yes, when I came in just now, I saw that your face was not very good. I wonder if it will hurt the twins in your belly?" Emperor Kang Yuan asked quickly.
After listening to His Majesty's words, Chen Bangzu spoke, "Back to Your Majesty, Princess Chen's abdominal pain was caused by catching a cold after falling into the water. She will be fine after taking medicine. It will not harm the emperor's grandson. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Emperor Kang Yuan's expression softened slightly and he nodded slightly in response.
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Ning's mouth was immediately blocked.
Concubine Ning was as if thunder struck her head at this moment.
She was really plotted!
It was Chen Bangzu and Lu Qingtang who set her up together!
"Your Majesty, I still have something to report!" Chen Bangzu took advantage of the victory and pursued him. "Wei Chen wants to report Gao Hong, the imperial court judge, for poisoning the emperor's grandson!"
Emperor Kang Yuan frowned and looked at Gao Hong in the corner.
After Gao Hong heard what Chen Bangzu said, his body suddenly trembled and he was stunned.
When Emperor Kang Yuan saw his face changed drastically, he knew that what Chen Bangzu said was true, so he said, "Tell me about it."
"The court judge knew that cinnabar was poisonous and could easily be confused with cinnabar root, but he deliberately used cinnabar as medicine for Princess Chen." Chen Bangzu said, "Princess Chen's pulse was diagnosed by Wei Chen, and the pulse record was written by Wei Chen. However, the diagnosis The court judge insisted on getting involved with the medicine. At first, I thought it was because the court judge was interested in Princess Chen, but who knew that he not only prescribed the medicine, but also gave it to Miss Xiyu from Biyue Palace for decoction? Cook it, and then you can understand its intention.”
Emperor Kang Yuan understood it completely now, raised his hand and slammed the table angrily, "You are bold and arrogant, how dare you collude with the people of Biyue Palace to poison the emperor's grandson!"
"Come here, take them down and beat these two people to fifty!" the father-in-law beside Emperor Kang Yuan said.
Gao Hong's face turned pale. He had fallen into Chen Bangzu's trap.
He immediately collapsed to the ground and allowed the eunuch to drag him out.
Fifty blows, even if you don't die, you will have to eat, drink, and defecate in bed for the rest of your life.
Xiyu couldn't be willing to give in. When the eunuch came to drag her, she struggled desperately and grabbed Concubine Ning's clothes.
"Concubine Ning, save me. These are all your ideas. You can't ignore me!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at Concubine Ning.
