It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 106 106. The Powerful Princess
Xia Yu didn't speak, the one who spoke was a newly promoted maid named Qiqiao by Empress Nalan.

It is a bit difficult to deal with Princess Huikang.

Princess Huikang is Concubine Wan Shu's child, and Concubine Wan Shu is not easy to mess with. Didn't Qiqiao offend Concubine Wan Shu by mentioning Princess Huikang?

Sure enough, Concubine Wan Shu said sarcastically, "This court lady is so courageous, she slandered the princess and has no royal family, what should she do?"

No matter what, Concubine Wan Shu and Empress Nalan are the queen and the other is concubine Shu. No matter how bad the relationship is, they can't be blamed on the face of it.

Princess Huikang was not arrogant, she was polite to Empress Nalan.Insulting the queen, would Princess Huikang do such a thing?
"Qiqiao, tell me the truth, how are Sixth Sister and the Queen normally?"

Ji Shaoyuan looked serious.

Although Princess Huikang and her are by no means close sisters, Concubine Wan Shu has always cared about her very much. Based on the old relationship between Empress Zhaode and Concubine Wan Shu, Ji Shaoyuan will not ignore Princess Huikang.

Princess Huikang was not at the scene, so she couldn't ask.

Ji Shaoyuan's words made Qiqiao's whole body tremble, she was very afraid of this new Princess Xiangli, unlike Princess Shou'an who was kind and friendly, and even less like Princess Yuhua. , mercilessly.

"Her Royal Highness, the Queen and Princess Huikang...the Queen cares about the Princess very much, and Princess Huikang also respects the Queen very much."

Qiqiao took a deep breath, and slowly said these words.

Ji Shaoyuan is not an ordinary princess, she has her own guards, and Princess Shengping as the backstage, even the dignitaries in the capital dare not provoke her, let alone her, a little court lady?

Anyway, after the Empress woke up, she would definitely understand her, Qiqiao comforted herself.

Ji Shaoyuan gave a suspicious "Oh" and asked curiously, "If this is the case, why does the sixth sister insult the queen? The queen treats the princess with a kind mother's heart. When did Princess Huikang say this sentence? There are other person?"

For some reason, it sounded like a compliment, but there was a kind of irony in it.

Concubine Wan Shu took the rebuttal with a half-smile, "It's not fair to just listen to Qiqiao's one-sided words on this matter. Coincidentally, there just happened to be someone in this palace who said exactly the same thing as what Qiqiao said about insulting the queen. , the difference is that Princess Huikang treated the queen with respect, but it was the king of Dian who uttered evil words and humiliated the queen."

Unexpectedly, things were turning into the king of Dian, and things became more and more complicated.

Concubine Ke was the first to deny it categorically, "No, Zheng'er has always been filial to the empress."

"Filial piety is commendable?"

Concubine Wan Shu's eyes rolled, "The empress has just had a pair of children, His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Shou'an. His Highness the King of Dian is very filial, so aren't His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Shou'an unworthy offspring?"

"No, no..."

Concubine Ke didn't expect Concubine Wan Shu's tongue to be more difficult than before, and she, who is usually called eloquent, was stunned to be unable to utter a rebuttal.

After hesitating and hawing for a long time, Concubine Ke could only explain herself helplessly, "His Royal Highness and Princess Shou'an are the empress's children, so they are more filial than Zheng'er..."

"Sister Kefei, His Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Shou'an, honoring the queen is the duty of a man and a child. Doesn't the king of Dian disrespect the queen and humiliate the queen? Isn't that an offense?"

Concubine Wan Shu looked at Concubine Ke with heartbroken eyes.

In a few words, the problem of Princess Huikang was turned into that of the King of Dian. Ji Shaoyuan became more and more admired for Concubine Wan Shu.

Concubine Ke was about to defend herself, but was interrupted by Emperor Longtai with a glance, "Okay, the queen is in a coma, and now we have to thoroughly investigate who murdered the queen. What did the queen do before that caused the coma and poisoning, please tell me, Xia Yu. "

Empress Nalan is obviously the center of the characters, and Yikun Palace will become the home of other concubines instead.

Xia Yu was finally able to play a role, she trembled her shoulders slightly, and tears flashed in her eyes, "Your Majesty, the empress has just used the red date rice porridge from the imperial dining room, and the empress said that the red date rice porridge is much more delicious than before. After eating a few mouthfuls, the Empress Dowager passed out."

As she spoke, Xia Yu burst into tears, crying so loudly that she almost woke her up.

Ji Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

Emperor Longtai asked, "Is that bowl of porridge still there? Let the imperial doctor check it quickly."

"This bowl of porridge is it." An eunuch brought the red dates and rice porridge that Empress Nalan ate. The bowl of porridge is still fragrant and steaming, really...

Emperor Longtai waved his hand, and the imperial physicians carefully poked the needle for experimentation. After a while, the tip of the needle turned completely black when it was taken out.

Seeing this, Ji Shaoyuan was furious, "Bold! Who dares to poison and murder the queen?"

Emperor Longtai must thoroughly investigate this matter, otherwise, his own safety will not be guaranteed.

The same is true for Emperor Longtai, with a sneer smile, "Dear physicians, the source of the poison has been found, you must seriously look for the antidote to the poison."

"According to the order."

The doctors answered in unison.

Empress Nalan was poisoned, and bloody winds were about to blow up inside and outside the palace.

Concubine Wan Shu covered her nose, "It smells bad, I don't like it."

"The taste is choking? Could it be the tears of a beautiful woman?"

An imperial physician immediately clapped his hands, looking surprised.

Ji Shaoyuan frowned, she just felt that she was familiar with the beauty tears, it didn't make sense, she didn't know the beauty tears at all.

"Beauty tears?"

Emperor Longtai's face was as gloomy as a thunderstorm in June, with bursts of thunder.

Looking at Emperor Longtai's expression, Ji Shaoyuan suddenly had a guess in his heart: Could this beauty's tears be related to her mother and elder brother?

Prince Duanhui and King Dai Gong died at the hands of Lou's traitors, but everyone in the know knew that the death of the two princes was planned by Empress Nalan.

If it wasn't for Empress Nalan, how could Lou's rebels have captured Empress Zhaode, mother and son so easily?

The imperial doctor who spoke didn't realize it, he nodded, "Exactly, the tears of beautiful women are extremely rare, and the antidote has not been found so far. I heard that people who are poisoned will turn pale, radiant, and their spirits are getting better and better. And Putting the beauty tears on different things has different effects. The beauty tears are put in the hot jujube rice porridge, the toxin will explode in advance, and the smell will become smoky over time. Most people can't smell it, and only have a keen sense of smell people notice the difference."

"So it is, so it is..."

Emperor Longtai muttered to himself.

Back then, Empress Zhaode died suddenly of poison. Before she died, her expression was serene, her lips were bright red, and she could not see the slightest trace of being tortured by poison.

At the beginning, Emperor Longtai didn't quite believe what Empress Zhaode said about being poisoned. After all, he searched all over the imperial physicians, and everyone said that Empress Zhaode was weak, but she was fine.Since the imperial physicians couldn't find out, it can only be estimated that Empress Zhaode was thinking too much.

However, the sudden death of Empress Zhaode caused Emperor Longtai to believe in Empress Zhaode's last words, and at the same time feel deep remorse for his arrogance and ignorance.

Why didn't you believe Empress Zhaode's words?There is no need for Huo Xianchu to lie, she obviously loves Emperor Longtai so much.

Thinking back now, Empress Zhaode's face was too pale, and she was in great spirits. At that time, she had just been found and escorted back to Beijing. Her body and bones were not as good as before.

Tears of beauty, Emperor Longtai kept chanting the name in his heart.

Ji Shaoyuan didn't care what Emperor Longtai was thinking, she was only curious if there was any antidote to Empress Nalan's poison.

"The queen's poison, can the imperial physician help?"

Ji Shaoyuan's eyes were piercing.

To be honest, Empress Nalan's half-dead state is far better than her alive and kicking state, which saves Ji Shaoyuan from being wary of Empress Nalan.

Empress Nalan has all eyes and hands in the palace, and Ji Shaoyuan has just arrived, but she has been in business for many years, so everything must be careful.

However, Empress Nalan was always suspicious and cautious, what method did the poisoner use to deceive Empress Nalan?
The imperial physician hesitated for a while when he heard the words, his tone was full of uncertainty, the poison of the beauty's tears is difficult to decipher, and the medicines used restrain each other, it is really difficult to decipher.Her Royal Highness also hoped to give the minister some more time, and the minister might be able to find a prescription for interpretation. "

"Everything is too much trouble."

Ji Shaoyuan smiled slightly, showing a grateful expression.

Seeing this, Concubine Li Xian whispered, "Your Highness the Princess really cares about the Empress."

Concubine Li Xian's identity is embarrassing, she is not from a famous family like Empress Nalan and Concubine Wan Shu, she was originally married as a princess of Fanbang.

It's just that this country was subsequently annexed by Daxing, and Concubine Li Xian, the former concubine princess, was not worth mentioning.Being named a concubine was considered a special kindness from Emperor Longtai. Anyway, Emperor Longtai didn't like Concubine Li Xian, and Concubine Li Xian also lived in seclusion and seldom came out to move around.

Ji Shaoyuan hooked the corner of Concubine Li Xian's mouth, and said calmly, "The empress is the mother of the country, it is reasonable for the princess to care about her."

Anyway, Ji Shaoyuan disdained to be filial to a mother and daughter, but it didn't mean that he would be used as an excuse to attack.

Concubine Li Xian smiled without saying a word.

Emperor Longtai coughed lightly, "No one in the imperial dining room can go out, and all of them will be sent to Ye Court for interrogation. I want to see which slave has the guts to murder the master."

"Yes." The guard then went down to work.

The imperial physicians were also busy looking for an antidote, so they resigned one by one.

Xia Yu spoke again at this time, probably finished crying, she sobbed and said, "The Empress has always treated her kindly, why would she...she want..."

"Xia Yu, what do you want to say?"

Emperor Longtai was not interested in paying attention to the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes, but since Empress Nalan was poisoned, it might not be his turn in the future.

Xia Yu shook her head, "Your Majesty forgives me for making a slip of the tongue."

Emperor Longtai became impatient, and turned his head to ask Qiqiao, "Qiqiao, just now you said that Princess Huikang insulted the queen, but later Concubine Shu said that was said by the king of Dian. Qiqiao, what do you know?"

"Your servant doesn't know anything!" Qiqiao vigorously shook her head.

She really didn't know the ins and outs, after all, Queen Nalan didn't tell her about it.

Concubine Wan Shu raised her eyebrows coldly.
