Inside Lan Yue Pavilion, there was silence.
After the imperial doctor pulled out the silver needle, he saw that the end of the silver needle turned black. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the poison Shen Guiji was exposed to was aconitine, a highly toxic folk poison!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Jamel Xiao looked at Shen Qingyi, who had her eyes closed tightly and was as angry as a gossamer. Thinking that this woman whose heart and eyes were full of him might die soon, he suppressed and said patiently: "Is there a way to save her?"
The imperial doctor said: "Fortunately, Shen Guiji took a small dose. I will prescribe a prescription to induce vomiting to expel the poison, and then there will be no serious problem."
Jamel Xiao's face brightened slightly when he heard that Shang Ke could be cured.
The queen, who was looking at Jamel Xiao's face, felt a thump in her heart.
She has been with Jamel Xiao for so long, and has never seen Jamel Xiao so nervous about a woman.
Even if Concubine Yu was ill, Jamel Xiao would only try his best to comfort her and would never speak so harshly.
You know, as an emperor, the first thing you have to do is to keep your emotions and anger hidden, but today, Jamel Xiao made an exception for Shen Qingyi.
After a moment of confusion, the queen said to Jamel Xiao: "Your Majesty, it is important to let the imperial doctor treat Shen Guiji, but we cannot let go of the culprit. Shen Guiji is in good health, how could she be poisoned? Especially when Concubine Yu and Concubine Yu are together. When the virtuous concubines are in charge of the harem together..."
The queen said this for two purposes.
First, he wanted to establish his image of "caring for the concubine" in front of Jamel Xiao; second, he wanted to use Shen Qingyi's poisoning to take back the rights of Concubine Yu and Concubine Xian to assist in the management of the Sixth Palace.
Of course, now Shen Qingyi's father's life is in her hands, and Shen Qingyi will soon become hers. The queen naturally doesn't want Shen Qingyi to die inexplicably before the chess piece has played its role. .
Jamel Xiao, who had always been at odds with the Queen, nodded for the first time after hearing this: "What do you mean, Qingmei?"
The Queen's real name is Ye Qingmei. After entering the palace, this name has been rarely mentioned. Now Xiao Jamyan calls her as before, which makes the Queen's eyes slightly moist: "I want to call the person serving Shen Guiji over first. After questioning, we will investigate the source of aconitine."
In the crowd, Concubine Jin tightened her handkerchief slightly, and a look of panic flashed across her face.
Jamel Xiao, who noticed this scene, looked slightly cold: "Okay, I will leave it to the queen to find out the real murderer!"
The queen was overjoyed and quickly thanked her: "I accept the decree."
Jamel Xiao looked at Shen Qingyi's pale cheeks, feeling more and more pity in his heart.
…
Lanyue Pavilion, inside the courtyard.
Lotus root and Xiaoyinzi were quickly brought up.
The Queen sat upright and showed the style of a queen: "Tell me, what did your little master eat? If you hide anything, you will be killed without mercy!"
Xiao Yinzi trembled and said: "The Queen knows it clearly! I didn't lie."
Lotus Root was also on the side, sobbing softly: "After the young master ate the cakes he brought back from the imperial kitchen, he immediately fell into unconsciousness. The servants and Xiao Yinzi were both panicked, so they called for someone to come over."
"Nonsense! I just went to the Imperial Kitchen to inquire. The pastries delivered to each palace are handled by the Imperial Kitchen Manager personally. There is no way poisons like aconitine are mixed in. You two must not be telling the truth!" The queen stood up and said, "Drag these two dishonest servants down and torture them!"
Lian Ou and Xiao Yin Zi were shocked when they heard this and kowtowed quickly to beg for mercy.
"Queen, please spare your life, Queen, please spare your life!"
"My servant really doesn't know."
"..."
Just when Fenxiang was about to step forward and pull open the lotus root, Xiao Yinzi suddenly remembered something and shouted: "By the way, Madam, just when the servant was carrying the food box back to Lanyue Pavilion, water chestnut suddenly appeared and had a quarrel with the servant. shelf."
The queen who was drinking tea frowned when she heard this: "Water chestnut?"
Fenxiang answered the question at the right time: "She is the palace maid next to Miao Guiren."
The queen looked at the sworn little seal suspiciously and thought in her heart.
The reason why she accepted this job so eagerly was indeed to regain the power of co-president of the Sixth Palace, but more importantly, she believed in her heart that this matter was most likely done by Concubine Yu, so she wanted to use this opportunity to Let the emperor punish Concubine Yu severely!
You must know that when the emperor was still the crown prince, Concubine Yu was jealous all day long, and even often drove away the concubines in the house. Some time ago, Concubine Yu was wet because Shen Qingyi slept with her six times a night. Until now It's not over yet, and the Queen is even more certain that the matter is related to Concubine Yu, but now Xiao Yinzi has bitten off a water chestnut that has no sense of existence...
However, there are already clues, so it’s hard to leave them alone.
"Go and bring Miao Gui and Ling Jiao over. In addition, send a few powerful palace men to Jingqi Pavilion to conduct a search!"
The Queen ordered that the people below dare not be lazy.
Within a moment, Fenxiang handed over a packet of medicinal powder, and after examination by the imperial doctor, it was found to be aconitine!
"You, a Miao nobleman, actually dare to harm Shen Guiji. What crime do you deserve?!" The queen's voice was stern.
She never expected that she had asked Miao Guiren to give up attacking Shen Qingyi, but Miao Guiren still insisted on having his own way.
Miao Guiren himself was frightened.
what happened?
How could aconitine be found in Jingqi Pavilion?
She wanted to assassinate Shen Qingyi, but she didn't have time yet.
"No! My Majesty, please believe me, this thing was really not done by my concubine! Queen..." Miao Guiren knelt and crawled to the Queen's side, crying at the top of his lungs.
The queen took a deep breath and said, "Now that the matter is over, whether you did it or not, what difference does it make?"
yes.
Now the emperor is in urgent need of an outlet because of Shen Guiji's poisoning. At this time, Miao Guiren's Jingqi Pavilion was found to have aconitine, and Miao Guiren's previous attempt to harm Shen Qingyi was caught on the spot by the emperor... … Does it make any difference whether these piles and pieces were made by Miao Guiren?
Miao Guiren, who had figured this out, suddenly collapsed on the ground and was in a daze: "It's really not me...it's not me..."
"I have told you a long time ago that I want you to stop in time. You must disobey me. Now that the incident has happened, I can't protect you. I can only abandon the car to protect the handsome man." The queen looked at the lost Miao Guiren. , shook his head slightly, and with the help of Fenxiang, he walked into the Moon Pavilion.
At this moment, Jamel Xiao was sitting beside Shen Qingyi's bed. As for the other concubines, they had basically been sent away. The only ones left were Concubine Jin, Concubine Xian... these high-ranking concubines.
The queen first knelt down and saluted Xiao Jingyan, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have found out clearly that the poisoner was Miao Guiren from Jingqi Pavilion. Miao Guiren had assassinated Shen Guiji many times before, but never succeeded, so Let’s intensify our efforts. The palace people have already found aconitine in Jingqi Pavilion, and people cannot deny the stolen goods.”
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully getting rid of Miao Guiren and gaining *1 Palace Fighting Point through the use of "Aconitum"! 】
"Pull it down and kill yourself."
Jamel Xiao's words seemed to be dealing with an insignificant outsider.
And in fact, how many women in the harem are he concerned about?
The queen swallowed the bitterness in her heart and responded to Jamel Xiao's words, but when she turned around, she was stopped by Jamel Xiao: "Queen!"
"My concubine is here."
"You have done a good job in handling this matter. Since Concubine Yu is ill now, Concubine Xian cannot take on the important task of assisting the Sixth Palace by herself. From now on, I will leave the whole harem to you."
When the queen heard this, she was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Shen Qingyi, Shen Qingyi, you are really my lucky star. Fang Fang was poisoned, so you gave me such a big gift. How can I be grateful to you?
The queen forced down the smile on her lips and stood aside quietly.
After a while, Jamel Xiao tucked Shen Qingyi into the quilt and was about to leave, but suddenly his wrist was held by the sleeping Shen Qingyi: "Your Majesty, don't leave, Qing'er is so scared, Qing'er don't kneel on the snow and be whipped, copy Buddhist scriptures …”
What Shen Qingyi said in his dream was unexpected by everyone present.
Concubine Jin glared at Shen Qingyi fiercely and clutched the handkerchief tightly in her sleeve.
Damn this lowly maid, she deliberately pretended to be weak in front of the emperor and aroused his sympathy!
Jamel Xiao paused for a moment, put Shen Qingyi's hand back, slowly raised his head, and finally his eyes fell on Concubine Jin: "I remember that when you were in the East Palace, your favorite thing to wear was yellow clothes."
Jamel Xiao suddenly said these words, leaving everyone confused.
Concubine Jin forced out a smile and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Jamel Xiao looked at her intently for a long time and said slowly: "I still like you who never concealed anything and was straightforward and honest, but you have disappointed me..."
Concubine Jin looked at Jamel Xiao in shock.
what happened?
Why did the emperor say such things?
Did he know something?
Impossible. He did it very secretly and even found Miao Guiren as a scapegoat. How could he be discovered?
"Your Majesty...what are you talking about? Can't you understand me?"
"From now on, the title of Concubine Jin will be revoked, she will be demoted to Jieyu, and she will be moved to the side hall of Yong'an Palace. She will not be allowed to see the second prince again!"
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully using the "sound transmission in dream" strategy to drive a wedge between Concubine Jin and Jamel Xiao, allowing Concubine Jin to bring trouble on her own and gain Palace Fight Points*1! 】
Concubine Jin, no, she should be called Chen Jieyu now.
Amid Chen Jieyu's cries, the second prince was still taken away.
…
Three days later, Shen Qingyi woke up.
Lu Luo wiped her tears and recounted a series of things that happened to Shen Qingyi while she was in coma. Shen Qingyi wiped her tears for Lu Luo: "Stop crying, isn't your little master doing well now?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My little master, I was so scared to death..." Lu Luo took Shen Qingyi's hand and said with wet eyes: "If the Queen hadn't intervened, I might not have been able to get Miao Guiren to plead guilty."
When Shen Qingyi heard this, she sneered.
The queen is not doing it for herself, she is clearly doing it for power.
However, Luluo's words also reminded her that this time she had sold such a big favor to the Queen. Presumably during this period of time, the Queen would not push herself too hard and let herself make a choice.
