The atmosphere in Weiyang Palace was serious. The imperial doctor was inspecting Xie Ziyue's bedroom one by one. The maids and eunuchs were kneeling outside the palace, not daring to express their anger.
For a time, everyone in Weiyang Palace was in danger.
After Emperor Kang took Xie Ziyue's pulse while she was sleeping, he followed Han Xianzong's instructions and went to the small kitchen to check... In short, the entire Weiyang Palace was like a carpet search, and Han Xianzong was bound to harm Xie Ziyue to the point where she almost slipped. Find out the fetal musk.
What happened today is too dangerous. If the emperor's son was not destined to die... Han Xianzong didn't even want to think about how sad they would be if another possibility happened.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.
In anger, Han Xianzong had a gloomy face, and his whole body was calm and intimidating, which made people dare not look directly at him.
At this time, the first doctor Lin who came to the palace had been standing next to the table and chair where Xie Ziyue was copying Buddhist scriptures this morning for a long time.
He carefully inspected the items on the table and paused when he noticed the brightly colored ink.
"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with this ink?" Tao Xiang looked on, watching Physician Lin looking at the ink thoughtfully, and asked quickly.
Doctor Lin did not reply immediately, but picked it up and sniffed it.
Then his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his expression became very solemn.
"Where did this ink come from?" Doctor Lin checked carefully for a long time, and finally turned to look at Taoxiang aside: "There is something wrong with this ink."
"It was sent from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Tao Xiang knew that there was probably something wrong with the ink when she saw the look of Dr. Lin just now. Now that she had confirmed it, her expression was quite gritted:
"Those dog slaves from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
Now that Musk had been found, Imperial Physician Lin and Tao Xiang went back to report to Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty.
Doctor Lin held the inkstone in both hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have checked this ink and found that this ink has a great origin. It is smoked from musk and contains a lot of musk. If it is used by a pregnant woman, it will not be used by pregnant women." In May, the baby will definitely be born.”
"Your Majesty." Tao Xiang knelt down in panic: "This ink was sent by Eunuch Zhou from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and my servants didn't know there was musk in it!"
She was the maid in charge of Weiyang Palace, and she had something to do with everything going wrong, so Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty took a deep look at her.
But considering that she was loyal to Xie Ziyue, and Xie Ziyue was now inseparable from her, Taoxiang had always been used to serving her, and now she might not be used to it if she were replaced by someone else, so Han Xianzong did not plan to give too much. punishment.
On the contrary, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs need to be reorganized.
The servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not so courageous. It is very likely that there is someone behind this matter.
"Laifu, go and send the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Sentence Department. They must be interrogated strictly." Han Xianzong ordered in a deep voice.
Laifu nodded as he was ordered. The so-called interrogation was nothing more than severe torture. As a popular figure around Han Xianzong, he naturally knew how to deal with it.
So he agreed and left in a hurry.
Han Xianzong entered the house again and stayed with Xie Ziyue.
Laifu was extremely efficient in his work. He interrogated the eunuch and maid in charge of Mo in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found out the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Have you found out who it is?" Han Xianzong looked at Laifu who reported back.
"Your Majesty, we have found out." Laifu said very cautiously: "It's just..."
"Just what?" Han Xianzong's shrewd eagle eyes were fixed on him: "Tell the truth, don't hide it."
"Yes, it's the Queen."
Laifu truthfully told the contents of the interrogation. It is said that the empress sent someone to change the ink, saying that the inferior ink in the palace could not be used by the master and that this batch of ink was of better quality.
Eunuch Zhou and others have been hanging out in the Ministry of Internal Affairs all year round, and they have secretly deducted a lot of money. Now that the Queen is willing to pay for it out of her own pocket, he is extremely happy.
The replaced batch of ink can be secretly transported out of the palace and replaced with a new batch of ink.
Driven by greed, he never felt anything was wrong. It wasn't until Laifu came to his door and tortured him that he finally confessed the matter crying to his father and mother.
Even though Han Xianzong had long expected that this matter was closely related to the queen, he still took a deep breath when he really confirmed it.
Tao Xiang, who knew the inside story at the side, could no longer bear it, fell to her knees and cried:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, you have not allowed me to tell you before. The Queen Mother asked your Majesty to go to Shoukang Palace a few days ago. She gave her two Buddhist scriptures and asked her to come back and copy them. I didn't expect that someone would tamper with the ink. This was intentional. Your Majesty is having a miscarriage!"
"Go to Jinghe Palace." Han Xianzong glanced at the closed door. Xie Ziyue was still resting.
He had to resolve this matter as soon as possible and come back to be with her.
So after saying this, he walked away.
"Showing the King's Palace." Laifu shouted quickly and trotted to keep up.
At this moment, Jinghe Palace was extremely quiet. The queen looked at the peonies outside the window and asked Er Rong beside her softly:
"Is there any news from Weiyang Palace?"
While rubbing her shoulders, Er Rong lowered his voice and said, "I heard that a lot of imperial doctors went there today. Tao Xiang beside the imperial concubine looked panicked, and even imperial doctor Kang went there."
Imperial Physician Kang is the best physician in this area in Imperial Hospital. He went there, which means the situation must be critical.
"That's good." The queen said quietly, "My father specially found this item for me. It cannot be found normally. Once there is any reaction, it will be the time of miscarriage."
"But your Majesty -" Er Rong was a little worried: "I heard that Eunuch Laifu brought many eunuchs and maids from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to interrogate..."
"So what?" The queen looked indifferent and played with her exquisite armor casually: "Don't forget, the Queen Mother is responsible for this matter. Even if the Emperor is furious, he can't do anything to me. The Queen Mother is here , I am the queen."
"On the contrary, Xie Ziyue..." At this point, the queen's lips curved into a sneer: "It was not easy for her to be pregnant. If this pregnancy is gone, it will be gone in the future."
"But your Majesty -" Er Rong was about to say more.
"Okay." The queen waved her hands impatiently: "No need to say more."
When Er Rong heard what she said, he was still a little worried in his eyes. But seeing that the empress didn't want to hear anymore, she didn't dare to say more.
Ever since she learned that the imperial concubine was pregnant, the queen had become even more moody. Many times Er Rong only dared to persuade her slightly. If she tried to persuade her too much, the queen would also become angry.
"The Emperor has arrived -" At this moment, an announcement and rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside.
The two people inside were shocked.
As soon as the queen got up, the door was kicked open, and the angry Han Xianzong appeared at the door.
"See Your Majesty." Er Rong knelt aside and Han Xianzong didn't even look at him.
"I see you, Your Majesty." The Queen seemed not to notice the Emperor's anger, and even saluted as if nothing had happened.
"Bitch!" Han Xianzong slapped the queen directly: "As the queen of the middle palace, you actually killed the emperor's heirs, with such vicious thoughts! How can you be worthy of the status of the mother of the country?"
The queen was slapped to the ground and covered her face in grievance, with tears in her eyes: "I don't know what the emperor is talking about."
"You don't know what I'm talking about?" Han Xianzong sneered, "I ask you, did you ask for the replacement of the batch of musky ink from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
