Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 413

The imperial physician took out a porcelain bottle and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager, this is the golden orchid medicine newly developed by the Imperial Medical Office. It is a poisonous medicine. If there is poison in the body, you will vomit blood at the mouth if you drink it. any symptoms."

As soon as the queen mother waved, the imperial doctor bowed and presented it. She took the bottle and smelt it, smelled it again, and then said with a smile: "The Ai Family seems to have heard from Doctor Liu! Can't think of it being developed so soon?"

"Yes, it was just developed."

"Pei Cairen!" The Empress Dowager suppressed her smile, her eyes were like will-o'-the-wisps, cold and cold: "Since you said there is no poison, why don't you try it first?"

Zhao Xi was slightly startled.

The queen mother's move is definitely not to protect herself.

So what is the purpose of testing Pei Cairen in this situation?

Before she could think about it, Pei Cairen had already taken the medicine bottle, with the mouth of the bottle facing down, and after shaking it a few times, he scattered all the medicine powder inside into the flagon.

"Since the Empress Dowager doesn't believe in my concubine, I have no choice but to try it for you on the spot!" As she said, she took the wine cup with her own hands, poured a small glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then turned the empty wine glass around. circle, said with a bright smile: "You must believe it now!"

"It does make sense." The Empress Dowager nodded, and wanted to see what kind of tricks Pei Cairen was playing, so she said with a smile: "What kind of poison do you think the Crown Princess has been poisoned by?"

"Falling poison!" Pei Cairen replied loudly, as if afraid that others would not hear, the palace guards waiting in the palace trembled in fright when they heard these two words, and lowered their heads even lower.

She poured another glass of wine, and brought it to Zhao Xiwei with a smile on her face: "Crown Princess, is it poisonous or not, why don't you try it?"

Zhao Xi slightly raised his eyes and looked at her steadily.

"What are you afraid of? I drank this wine too, can I still harm you?" Pei Cairen smiled even more complacently, "Or is it that the Crown Princess is well aware of this?"

Zhao Xi smiled.

To drink, or not to drink, that is the question.

Pei Cairen made it clear that if she refused, no matter whether she was poisoned or not, it would be tantamount to admitting in front of the Queen Mother that she was favored by shady means.

But if she drank...

Who knows what Pei Cairen put in the wine?

She stood under the throne, pinched her palms with her fingers, half closed her eyes, adjusted her slightly chaotic breathing, and slowly calmed herself down.

"Why is the Crown Princess silent?" The Queen Mother's voice sounded faintly, "Could it be that you really took that kind of medicine?"

never mind--

Zhao Xiwei opened his eyes suddenly, looked coldly at the proud Pei Cairen, and said, "Let me test the medicine, have you thought about it?"

"Of course!" Pei Cairen was resolute, and then smiled disdainfully: "Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Since the Crown Princess is innocent, why bother to look forward and backward?"

"What Pei Cairen said is very true." Zhao Xi nodded slightly, picked up the wine glass from the tray, put it under the tip of his nose, sniffed it lightly, and said casually: "Fenghua is the best in Jiangnan, and Shaoxing wine is the most fragrant, and in March in the south of the Yangtze River, every household picks wine. The wine brewed in Lanling is still a bit inferior!"

Pei Cairen snorted coldly, and said with a sneer, "It's just a jug of wine. The important thing is that it can detect poison. As for the place of origin, do you care if it is Lanling or Shaoxing?"

The Queen Mother frowned, and said with a smile: "The Crown Princess knows a lot about wine?"

"I don't understand!" Zhao Xiwei also smiled, and said openly, "I just happened to see someone brewing wine!"

She was so calm and confident that Pei Cairen couldn't bear it anymore, and urged: "In that case, why don't you drink it? Could it be that you also know that you have done something shameful, and you are afraid that the Empress Dowager will make you a mess in the palace?" crime?"

Let this bitch keep putting it off and who knows what will happen?
She finally seized this opportunity, and she must not miss it again!

Thinking of this, he looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother raised her phoenix eyes lazily, and said nonchalantly: "Princess Concubine, Pei Cairen's words have reached this point, why don't you just drink this wine as she said, if you are wronged, Aijia I will uphold justice for you, do you agree?"

Zhao Xiwei pinched the wine glass and turned it lightly, and smiled brightly: "Okay!"

The golden orchid medicine is a strong poison poison, and with the medicinal properties of the begonia intoxicating, if she really drank it...

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager's eyes revealed a bit of amusement.

Although she doesn't want to close the net so soon, it's fun to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, isn't it?
Zhao Xi raised his sleeve slightly, and slowly brought the wine glass to his lips.

The aroma of the wine is tangy and touches the tip of the tongue, slightly cool and refreshing.

He just took a sip, and his heart suddenly suffocated.

Like a poisonous snake, it meanders along the blood, penetrates into the lungs, and writhes and writhes in the stomach.

A burst of blood rushed straight to the throat——

At the critical moment, Zhao Xiwei gritted his teeth resolutely, sealing the blood energy tightly.

what happened?

she……

Why is she reacting this way?
The imperial physician on the side also shrank his pupils suddenly, apparently startled by her reaction.

With a shake of his body, he knelt down tremblingly: "Crown Princess..."

"I—" Zhao Xi opened her mouth slightly, and another burst of blood came up, and she bit her lip in a hurry.

The medicine for flattering pets, the wine for testing poison...what went wrong?

Could it be that she was really poisoned?

However, there were not many opportunities left for her to think. When she thought of this question, her spine suddenly went numb, followed by a sharp pain in her head, and her whole body fell into a state of confusion...

She covered her mouth subconsciously, but felt her stomach churning even more, her limbs seemed to lose all strength in an instant, and she took two steps back in a vain manner. She hurriedly grabbed the emerald jade screen behind her so as not to let herself go limp.

Her consciousness was losing, her strength was losing, and even the light in front of her eyes suddenly became extremely dim.

She bit her lip hard, holding on to the last sliver of clarity, Pei Cairen, the Queen Mother, Eunuch Chang, the strange imperial doctor, and the palace servants standing on both sides...

Faces, various expressions, sarcasm, playfulness, viciousness, fear, panic, helplessness... like human skin masks, reflected in her eyes, zoomed in, zoomed in, rotated all over the sky, and then suddenly disappeared again. Disappeared, leaving only a desperate darkness.

If there is really something wrong with this wine, if something really happened to her——

The so-called love potion theory is tantamount to a firm fact!Even if she barely survived, she would be the laughing stock of everyone!
"I didn't expect that..." It was the Empress Dowager's sinister laugh, "The Crown Princess is young, but she knows such tricks..."

"Empress Dowager!" It was Pei Cairen who raised his voice on purpose, as if he was afraid that people outside would not hear him, and said: "The most taboo thing for concubines in this harem is that their moral behavior is not right. According to my concubine, Empress Dowager, you are the highest in this harem." Lord, you have the right to life and death for that immoral concubine—"
