The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1336 How many days can I live?

"I used to use Su Hexiang before, but later the emperor said that the fragrance made me feel dizzy, so the servant replaced it with ambergris. What? Could it be that there is something wrong with this fragrance?" Pang Chu was a little surprised, he looked up at Gu Chengyu's eyes With doubt and flickering.

Gu Chengyu frowned, this Pang Chu's expression was really strange.

"Who is on duty in this hall today? Did you order the Su Hexiang, or was it the person on duty? When did you replace the ambergris?" Gu Chengyu carefully observed Pang Chu's expression, not letting go of every detail.

"Xiao Quanzi was on duty today, and he ordered the Su Hexiang. After the emperor had breakfast, it was only half an hour later, and he felt that the Su Hexiang was very sticky. He smelled very uncomfortable, so the servant replaced it. Ambergris. Not long after putting it on, the emperor vomited blood and passed out." After thinking about it carefully, Pang Chu told the matter one by one.

"Empress Dowager, all the imperial chefs in this imperial dining room, please send someone to restrain these people first, and after they are taken into Dali Temple, I will carefully interrogate them."

Gu Chengyu was talking about all the imperial chefs, who knows if it was the one who was on duty today?It's best to do a full check.

"Yes!" The queen mother nodded, and then directed a few words to Aunt Lan who was beside her.

"Then what kind of incense is lit in the emperor's bedroom on weekdays?" Gu Chengyu turned his gaze back to Pang Chu. Even if Pang Chu was not behind the scenes, he should have something to hide.

"Before, it was always ambergris. Since the emperor rested, sometimes Su Hexiang was lighted. Originally, envoy Zhang ordered that Su Hexiang was helpful for the emperor's recovery, so during this period of time, he often lighted it."

Pang Chu raised his head slightly and looked at Court Envoy Zhang with suspicion in his eyes.

Envoy Zhang frowned deeply, what does Pang Chu mean?Could it be that he ordered it to fail?

"Su Hexiang is indeed helpful to the recovery of the emperor's dragon body. It is not wrong for me to say so." Court Envoy Zhang looked at Pang Chu with a warning in his eyes. He had been in the palace since the time of the late emperor. Dare to doubt him?

Xiao Quanzi was already on the sidelines in a hurry, he never thought that the fire would reach him.Give him 1 guts, and he wouldn't dare to murder the emperor!

"Empress Dowager, Lord Gu! This slave dare not have any wrongdoing! Every three days, Su Hexiang will be lighted in the hall, and it has always been done like this. Today is exactly the fourth day, and this slave just replaced it with Su Hexiang. "

Xiao Quanzi hurriedly knelt down, his expression was very flustered, showing extreme fear.

Gu Chengyu carefully observed his expression, but did not doubt him.It's not because he has some kind of friendship with this person, but because Xiao Quanzi's behavior is normal.No matter whether he did it or not, if he was involved, he would naturally be nervous.

"Then it seems that this person is doing well. Knowing the habits in the emperor's bedroom, now he can only hope that there will be progress in the imperial dining room. It's just that before that, I'm afraid he will offend the two father-in-laws."

Gu Chengyu bowed to the queen mother and asked: "My lady, in order to find out the murderer as soon as possible, I thought that I should search the residences of all the servants and maids serving in the bedroom to see if there is anything found."

"Quite!" Naturally, the Empress Dowager would not refuse, this person can poison him silently, and he is still dormant in the palace, is that okay?
"Take the letter from Ai's family and tell Ke Jun, the commander of the imperial guards, to imprison all the servants and maids serving here, and release them after the suspicion is cleared." The queen mother acted vigorously and immediately.

When Xiaoquanzi and Pang Chu heard that they were going to be imprisoned, they immediately panicked.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed yams among the dishes I went to buy in the palace this morning. There are five imperial chefs making breakfast today, and all of them have been locked up alone." After a while, Ke Jun came in to report.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Ke Jun, he was a newly promoted commander of the Imperial Guard, and he did things simply.After the previous Li Chang'an rebelled, this person was promoted by two ranks, but his background was not strong.

"Put it in Dali Temple first, and wait for Gu Aiqing to interrogate in person!" The queen mother nodded, this time the speed was rather fast.

"The other people can't be released for the time being. Let's search their residences first, and it may not be these people." Since it is a yam soup, it is easier to mix it with dove and flower roots.I've become fans, what else can I see?

"Ahem!" There was a slight coughing sound from behind, and the queen mother rushed to the edge immediately.

"Dun'er! Are you awake?"

"Mother!" The emperor struggled to open his eyes, which were blurry.It was only after he regained his composure that he saw the person in front of him clearly.

"Shut up, you have to rest and rest. Don't worry about the affairs of the court. There are Aijia and Gu Aiqing!" The queen mother stroked the emaciated cheek of the emperor. In just over a month, she had lost a lot of weight and became so weak. up.

"Queen! What's the matter with me? But the poison has developed?" The emperor only felt that his chest was more dull than before, and he felt that it was hard to breathe.

"You've been poisoned again, but don't worry, Gu Aiqing will definitely find the mastermind behind the scenes for you. Take a good rest these few days, and today you can wake up because of him giving you the needles!"

Gu Chengyu glanced at the queen mother, he never knew that the queen mother respected him so much!This tone doesn't sound like he hates him, but maybe it's because he wants the emperor to relax!
"Poisoned again? How long can I survive this body?" The emperor's eyes lost their luster, and he said weakly.

"Why is Dun'er discouraged again? Don't worry, Aijia sees that Gu Aiqing's medical skills are good, and he will definitely be able to delay it for a while until he finds the antidote."

The queen mother looked at the lifeless face of the emperor, and her heart ached like a knife.

Gu Chengyu is a little speechless, but this is not the time to argue about these things, it is good to let the emperor have more confidence to live.

"Queen Mother, I have something to say to Gu Aiqing alone!" The emperor suddenly grabbed the Queen Mother's hand with such a force that it was extremely inconsistent with his weak state at this time.

"Dun'er?" The Queen Mother frowned, disapproving.Dun'er's appearance made her a little scared, and this scene reminded her of the scene before the death of the late emperor.

"Mother, it's just some state affairs." The emperor's eyes were firm, and the empress dowager's face darkened.

She is Dun'er's mother, but Dun'er doesn't trust herself just like his father. They would rather trust an outsider?
The queen mother glared at Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu lay innocently on the gun. Although he felt wronged, he had no choice but to touch his nose.

It seems that the little goodwill he had accumulated with the Queen Mother during this period of time was completely wiped out by the emperor's words.The first emperor and the emperor, father and son, came to trick him, right?It must be.

"You all go down too!" The emperor ordered softly.

After everyone in the hall went out, the emperor's weak voice sounded in the hall, "Gu Aiqing, how long can I live?"
