The Queen Mother was stunned, then got up from the bed with great difficulty, and looked at Xing Su's face in surprise.
Xing Su's pretending to be calm voice still sounded in Ji Wanrong's ears: "Your Majesty, this decoction was brewed under my watch and prepared according to the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Sun. I can guarantee that there will be no problem!"
After she said this, she looked eagerly at the Queen Mother.
Xing Su walked a few steps on her knees, reached for the soup spilled on the ground, dipped some on her fingertips, and hurriedly put it in her mouth: "Slave, you can drink this medicine yourself!"
The Queen Mother was moved by Xing Su's actions, and said to Xing Su with a moved expression: "The Ai family believes in you. The Ai family has drank the medicine you brewed before, and there was no problem."
Concubine Hua sneered: "I'm afraid that Concubine Han failed to compete with Xing Su in front of the Queen Mother and deliberately framed her. She is really cruel. How can such a person be allowed to stay in the royal family?"
"I just didn't mention that the soup contained poison, but that it contained a small amount of sugar." Ji Wanrong stared at the spilled soup on the floor.
There was a bit of mockery towards Concubine Hua in her calm eyes: "Concubine Hua wanted to put me to death, but she didn't listen to what I had to say. I think she was too impatient."
The strong smell of medicine was mixed with a faint sweetness. She was just doubtful just now, but now she is more convinced.
Her nose is extremely sensitive and she can smell smells that ordinary people cannot smell. This soup does not contain poison, but it does contain a very small amount of sugar.
My honey, his arsenic.
Perhaps for ordinary people, white sugar is a rare treasure, but for diabetics, white sugar can accelerate their death.
Of course Imperial Physician Sun also knew this truth. Hearing what Ji Wanrong said, he exclaimed a little, his face full of shock.
"Ever since the Queen Mother became ill, the ministers have warned everyone in the Shoukang Palace that the Queen Mother's daily diet must not contain sweets. The Queen Mother usually likes sweets, and now she must avoid these things like snakes and scorpions. In the soup just now, there is another How come you have sugar in it?!”
Ji Wanrong slowly looked at Xing Su: "The Queen Mother likes sweets. After she fell ill, she refused to serve anyone else. She only liked Xing Su to serve the soup. After drinking the soup from Dr. Sun, the Queen Mother's physical condition suddenly deteriorated. , isn’t it obvious enough?”
What Ji Wanrong meant was that Xing Su deliberately put a small amount of sugar in the Queen Mother's soup in order to be able to stay with the Queen Mother.
The soup tasted bitter, and only Xing Su's soup was different. The Queen Mother only liked Xing Su to serve it alone, thus preserving the prosperity and wealth of Xing Su's family for the rest of their lives.
When the Queen Mother heard this, her originally loving eyes slowly changed, and even the emperor's face when he looked at Xing Su was filled with vague murderous intent.
How is this different from murdering the Queen Mother?
Infected by the emperor's furious coercion, everyone behind the emperor knelt down tremblingly.
Only Ji Wanrong still stood calmly, looking at Xing Su, whose face was pale, motionless.
Xing Su was kneeling on the ground at this moment, trembling all over and sweating like rain.
Ji Wanrong looked at her calmly, with no hatred or even anything in his eyes, like a compassionate god forgiving his erring people.
Mo Jiecheng's deep eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Ji Wanrong's calm figure motionlessly.
At this moment, he clearly realized that this woman was very different from before.
The emperor's deep voice sounded slowly and with anger: "Xing Su, can you plead guilty to murdering the Queen Mother?"
Xing Su suddenly raised her head. At this moment, her whole body was soaked, as if she had been fished out of the water.
"No, I don't admit it! This is just a rumor of Princess Han's family. The Queen Mother often takes this medicine, but she never feels there is any problem. Could it be that Princess Han can smell it when she smells it?"
"She hates me for saying she is an evil star. She doesn't have any evidence! She is framing me. The Queen Mother is affected by her evil spirit and is in poor health!"
Xing Su insisted that he had never done such a thing.
And what she meant was that she insisted on dragging Ji Wanrong into the water. If there was nothing wrong with her medicine, it was Ji Wanrong's identity as the evil star that caused the Queen Mother's illness.
The emperor glanced at Ji Wanrong with a serious look, and then ordered everyone: "Search Xingsu's residence and the entire Shoukang Palace to ensure that both the person and the stolen goods are recovered."
The emperor's words meant that things had turned around. If no evidence could be found, Ji Wanrong would be the one to blame.
No matter Concubine Hua, Xing Su or Ji Yunyao, they all prayed secretly in their hearts, hoping that no evidence could be found and that Ji Wanrong would be blamed by the emperor and die without a burial place.
When Ji Wanrong listened to Xing Su's words, he had no reaction in his heart.
It must be the sugar in the Queen Mother's decoction that caused the Queen Mother's blood sugar to fluctuate, leading to acute complications.
Everything Xing Su said was just a death struggle.
Everyone waited with bated breath for a stick of incense. After receiving the order, the little eunuch quickly turned Shoukang Palace and Xingsu's residence upside down.
"Your Majesty, the Shoukang Palace has not found any hidden sugar!"
"Your Majesty, no hidden sugar was found in Xing Su's residence!"
"Your Majesty, no hidden sugar was found in the kitchen!"
After all the eunuchs had finished searching, the sugar in Ji Wanrong's mouth was not found anywhere.
The emperor looked at Ji Wanrong, his tired face gradually becoming serious.
He waited all night to see that his mother was safe and sound, not to be teased!
Feeling the emperor's gaze, Ji Wanrong's eyebrows twisted slightly.
This is impossible.
Fortunately, she drank sugar every day, and she even smelled the sweetness in the bowl of soup just now. This proved that the sugar must be nearby, and she didn't have time to destroy it, so the sugar must still be in the palace.
Concubine Hua saw Ji Wanrong's frown, and her face turned from gloomy to clear: "I think what Xingsu just said is true."
"I think so. The Queen Mother can't eat anything. How can anyone have a nose that's smarter than a dog's nose?"
The queen was also very angry. It could have been a big deal, but she had to forcefully fight for favor, break the soup, and create so many disturbances.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke calmly for the sake of Ji Wanrong: "Princess Han, if other imperial doctors can prove that they smell the sweet taste of sugar in the medicine, will it also prove that what you said is right? ?”
Before Ji Wanrong could answer, she looked at Dr. Sun who was kneeling aside.
Dr. Sun was covered in cold sweat. He wanted to speak for Ji Wanrong, but he hesitated: "What the master said... it must be true..."
He really couldn't smell the sweetness in the soup.
The Queen Mother looked at his appearance and glared at him: "The Ai family still doesn't know that what you are telling is a lie? The Ai family has never noticed that there is a problem with this medicine, and you have been serving in Shoukang Palace for so long, and you have never Discover the clues.”
"President Sun, don't risk your life because of some irrelevant people!"
Seeing this, the smile on Concubine Hua's face widened even more: "The Queen Mother said so. If Concubine Han had admitted before, it was just a disobedience in front of the palace, but she insisted on speaking harshly, and now it has become The crime of deceiving the king, queen, is because you are not strict in discipline."
The emperor said nothing, but the expression on his face was clearly on the verge of anger.
Seeing that Ji Wanrong remained silent, the queen hurriedly pointed her finger at an unknown imperial doctor beside her: "You, go and smell it to see if there is a hint of sweetness in the soup. What I want to hear is The truth!"
The imperial doctor was kneeling well, but when the queen pointed at him, he almost collapsed to the ground.
He turned his head in panic and caught a glimpse of the emperor's heavy gaze. The emperor was obviously on the verge of anger.
So he hurriedly stepped forward, carefully asked about the soup that had fallen on the ground, and then stretched out his tongue to lick it.
He thought deeply for a long time, and then hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Wei Chen really can't tell the sweetness in it! Wei Chen didn't find it!"
