Chapter 318 Ben Gong fought with you
"Yeah... what's going on here?"

Everyone in the hall looked over suspiciously, and in an instant, dozens of pairs of eyes pierced towards Zhao Xiwei like swords.

And Zhao Xiwei was thinking about the emperor's question quickly.

Indeed, as the imperial concubine said, the narcissus pollen is mixed in the pastry, even if ordinary people can't see it, but those who understand will know it when they smell it.

If someone tampered with the princess's bowl of milk soup, how would it have been hidden from the imperial physician?
In the silence, His Highness the Crown Prince slowly opened his mouth: "It is a colorless flower."

"Colorless flower?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Only the imperial physician murmured and repeated: "Colorless flower?"

"As the name suggests, colorless flowers are colorless and odorless..." Zhao Xi frowned slightly, and said in thought, "It blooms on the coldest day of the year, and the petals are almost transparent. People discovered that after drying and grinding into powder, the smell and color of flowers and plants can be eliminated."

It's just a casual remark, and she can respond with kindness.

Li Xuanye was quite surprised: "The Crown Princess has read all the ancient books of the previous dynasty?"

Not only have you seen it, but you can also recite it backwards.

Zhao Xi smiled slightly at him: "I haven't read all of them, have I... I just found it occasionally when I was bored! When His Highness mentions this, I just remembered it!"

The tone was disapproving, but still couldn't suppress the self-confidence engraved in his bones.

Li Xuanye couldn't help slightly hooking his lips.

"Powder the colorless flower and add it to the milk soup...can it cover up the smell of the daffodil, so that it can't be detected?" A group of imperial doctors stared in astonishment and looked at Zhao Xiwei in disbelief.

They think they have read medical books and tasted all kinds of herbs, but in the end they don't know as much as the little girl in front of them?

"No." Zhao Xiwei walked to the case, picked up the half bowl of milk soup left over, smelled it, and then took out a red flower from his sleeve like a magic trick.

"What is this?" Everyone was stunned again.

Zhao Xiwei spread out her palm, pinched the flower with two fingers, and slowly crushed it under the watchful eyes of everyone, until red juice dripped down, then she put her palm on the bowl to cover it.

Everyone watched without blinking.

She took her palm away, and there was a purple handprint on the edge of the bowl containing the milk soup!
And Zhao Xiwei spread out the palms of both hands again, placing them under everyone's sight, and said calmly: "Now you see, my palms are red, because they have just been stained with the juice of the red flower."

Everyone nodded: "Yes!"

The corners of Zhao Xiwei's mouth curled up slightly, a pair of almond eyes flashed a hint of cunning, and he said with a smile: "Next, please open your eyes to see clearly!"

Everyone didn't know what medicine she was selling in the gourd, but they were all curious about what she was going to do next.

Even the emperor held his breath, staring at her palm for a moment, for fear of missing something very important.

Only Li Xuanye's expression was the same as usual, only looking at her with indulgent eyes.

Zhao Xi spread his palms flat, raised his chin to Lan Ruo, and signaled lightly.

Lan Ruo got up immediately, and took out a white handkerchief from Zhao Xiwei's sleeve, and then slowly unfolded it in front of everyone, saying, "On this handkerchief is the pollen that caused the princess to vomit."

Lan Ruo covered Zhao Xiwei's palm with the handkerchief, and quickly removed it.

Everyone took a closer look, and their pupils shrank suddenly.

The palm that was stained with red juice instantly turned purple!

It's the same as the imperial concubine's!
The emperor asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

Zhao Xi put away his palms slightly and saluted with a smile: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this red flower is the opposite of the colorless flower. It is called a colorless flower. No matter what color it is mixed with, it cannot hide its own color, even if it is To remove traces by means, only a drop of flower dew is needed to make it show its original shape."

The imperial physician and Ting Wei looked at each other and asked, "Then, the reason why no poison was detected in the milk soup is because of the use of colorless flowers?"

In this way, it is no wonder that they are not to blame for this case...

"No." Zhao Xiwei denied their guess with a single word, and the imperial physician and Ting Wei immediately shivered and asked stammeringly, "Then, then, what's going on?"

Zhao Xi smiled. She held the bowl in her hand, turned it around slowly, so that a group of officials could see it more clearly, and said slowly: "Actually, the principle is not difficult to guess, because the milk soup is not poisonous at all!"

"What?"

A group of officials were confused: "You are the one who says it is poisonous, and you are the one who says it is not poisonous. So is it poisonous or not?"

Zhao Xiwei smiled again, and tapped the bowl lightly with one finger: "Look carefully, the milk soup in this bowl is still white, but there is only a red mark left on the edge of this bowl. It is because, next The poisoner didn't put the poison in the bowl, but—on her own fingers!"

She turned to Concubine Pei, and said a few words, resoundingly: "And this fingerprint is the same as the imperial concubine's empress!"

Concubine Pei raised her hand in disbelief, looked at the purple thumb, and was speechless: "No, no, it's impossible! What's going on here!!?"

Seeing her excited look, Zhao Xiwei looked away, and turned to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the situation at that time is not difficult to guess. The imperial concubine dyed her fingers with narcissus pollen, and then while feeding the little princess with milk soup, used Put your thumb on the edge of the bowl, and then bring the bowl close to the little princess's lips. When the little princess swallows, she will eat the pollen on the bowl... Such a secret method, don't say that the concubine Shu can't find it , even in front of His Majesty, nothing abnormal can be seen."

"The concubine was wronged! The concubine didn't! The concubine really didn't!" Concubine Pei became short of breath, and she shouted loudly: "The concubine herself has a child, how could she be able to deal with such a small child? Such a murderous hand!"

"What can't be done?" Zhao Xi smiled coldly, "Didn't the former emperor use this method to seize power when he abolished the later Liu family?"

"No! I didn't!" Concubine Pei trembled, she gritted her teeth tightly, "Zhao Xiwei, if I poisoned me, I would die a terrible death, if I didn't poison you, you would die a terrible death, okay? ?”

Zhao Xiwei twitched his lips, unmoved in the slightest: "There are all human and material evidence, so what's the use of taking a poisonous oath? Your Majesty, if you want to prove your innocence, you should show evidence that can overthrow me. .”

"No! I really don't have any..." Concubine Pei was in despair, and roared out of control: "I am already the head of the four concubines, what reason do I have to murder Concubine Shu?"

"I don't understand either." Zhao Xi frowned slightly, looking at Concubine Pei Gui: "Could it really be because of your sister's marriage? But as far as I know, our Zhao family is not completely sorry for your Pei family, if not The Pei family deliberately threatened with a ten thousand gold dowry, how could things have come to this point..."

"You framed me with Concubine Shu!" Concubine Pei's eyes were about to split, she rushed over like crazy, and said sharply, "I will fight you!"
