Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 366 Herbs and the Queen's Silver Hairpin
The hall was as dead silent as death, and there was no sound.

All eyes fell on Fu Jiuqu's face.Zhao Guanjia's grief has not faded, and his red eyes look like he wants to eat people.The three imperial physicians were originally kneeling in front of Zhao Zhen, but when they saw Fu Jiuqu coming in, they bowed their heads to one side, and the maids did not dare to raise their heads.

Empress Cao's expression was calm, and she drifted away as if the matter had nothing to do with her, as if she was avoiding suspicion...

Because of Xin Yi's "blindness", she was able to quietly observe the changes on everyone's faces, but no one paid much attention to her.

Zhao Zhen sullenly said, "What's the matter with these two people?"

Fu Jiuqu didn't change his face, and said calmly: "The imperial city soldiers routinely inspected at night, and found that the two of them were sneaking around. They were arrested and checked, and they were both stolen."

He pointed.

"One has the jewelry of the lady in the palace, and the other is carrying the medicinal materials of the noble concubine of Huining Palace. After seeing it, the minister saw that the matter was serious, so he sent him here quickly."

Zhao Zhen snorted.

He knew this nephew just as Fu Jiuqu knew his uncle.

How could it be mere theft that made Fu Jiuqu bring someone to the Hall of Huining in the middle of the night?Besides, Huining Palace and Xiangluan Pavilion had no intersection at all, so the servants of the two palaces were arrested by him at night, why?

Zhao Zhen stared at Fu Jiuqu coldly, "What else?"

The two looked at each other tacitly for a moment, and Fu Jiuqu smiled faintly.

"I'm afraid the rest of the matter will be interrogated by the officials themselves."

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, but his eyes were like knives, wishing he could kill her.

There is not only Empress Cao in the palace, but also the daughter of Dali Xiangguo. Even if he misses his family and keeps his family ugly, he probably can't do it.

As his nephew, he not only wanted to promote him, but also helped him to become famous all over the world, leaving him with a bad reputation for thousands of years.

"Good. Very good!"

Zhao Zhen stared at the two servants coldly, with a murderous look in his voice.

"Are you going to explain it yourself, or wait for the Imperial City Secretary to execute the sentence?"

He is usually a kind and pleasant monarch, and he rarely loses his temper when dealing with palace people, but the death of Zhang Guifei sharpened his temper.Zhao Guan's house tonight felt breathless after taking a second look at the pickles in the palace.

The two servants naturally denied it in every possible way.

Ma Shun of Xiangluan Pavilion said that he didn't know that those jewelry belonged to the lady in the palace, but Sixi from Huining Palace owed him a sum of money, and he took it as collateral.

Sixi from Huining Palace said that those medicinal materials were eliminated by Huining Palace.The herbs used by the imperial concubine are all good things. He felt that it was a pity to waste them, so he picked them up, and was caught by the Imperial City Secretary before he could deal with them...

Everything confiscated by the Imperial City Division was thrown on the ground.

Medicines, and jewellery.

Zhao Zhen took a look and asked Zhou Yiliu on the spot, "Is this Ma Shun from your palace?"

Zhou Yiliu sat beside her, her face pale and miserable.

Hearing this, Shi Shiran supported the chair and got up, and was about to kneel down to Zhao Zhen.

She held her belly in her hands, looking cautious and inconvenient, how could Zhao Zhen really make her kneel down?
"You sit and talk."

Zhou Yiliu thanked her, lowered her eyes and confessed.

"Forgive me from the officials, but the concubine's body is not strict. I don't know that there will be such a thief in Xiangluan Pavilion..."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with you."

After all, he pointed at the herbs and asked Meng Ning to come over, "Is this the herbs in Huining Hall?"

Meng Ning's head drooped low, she didn't dare to look directly at the emperor, her body showed restraint and fear, "Going back to the official's house, it seems, it seems to be."

Zhao Zhen: "Why don't you give it to the imperial concubine, but let someone steal it?"

Meng Ning threw herself on her knees, "Officials, the lady refused to take the medicine when Miss Ayima entered the palace yesterday, and the servant girl didn't have time to collect the herbs, so I don't know that Sixi would steal the medicine..."

"I don't steal anything, so why steal medicine?" Fu Jiuqu suddenly interjected quietly, and turned to look at the three terrified imperial physicians.

"Look at the three imperial physicians, is there something strange in this medicinal material?"

Stealing jewelry makes sense, for money.

Stealing medicinal materials, no matter how good the medicinal materials used by the imperial concubine are, everyone can't suffer from the same disease as the imperial concubine, right?steal it for what?
Everyone has doubts in their hearts.

Zhao Zhen glanced away, and the three imperial physicians came over.

After checking the medicinal materials, Imperial Physician Wei was the first to answer, "Officials, I can't see anything strange in the medicinal materials. Moreover, this is indeed the imperial concubine's prescription."

The other two imperial physicians nodded in agreement.

The person who prescribed the prescription was imperial physician Wei, but Concubine Zhang's pulse case was discussed with several old imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, and everyone is familiar with it.

Fu Jiuqu smiled, and looked down at Sixi who was terrified like a lump of wood.

"Don't tell the officials, why do you want to steal medicinal materials?"

Sixi's voice trembled, "Small, it's a pity that the small one is wasted..."

Fu Jiuqu: "I don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin."

He suddenly raised his head to look at Empress Cao, and cupped his hands: "Sage, in order to judge justice, I will lend you a silver hairpin."

Cao Yushang glanced at the girl, "Red Cloud."

Fu Jiuqu didn't say what to do with the Queen's silver hairpin, but everyone already guessed.

Therefore, when Fu Jiuqu slowly inserted Empress Cao's silver hairpin into the pile of medicinal materials, and let everyone watch the silver hairpin turn into pitch black, no one doubted it.

"poisonous!"

"The medicinal materials are poisonous."

Fu Jiuqu looked coldly at Sixi who was also astonished.

"You didn't steal the medicinal materials because you don't need to regret it, but you took the poisonous medicinal materials and wanted to destroy the evidence... These medicinal materials are the evidence of killing the noble concubine, aren't they?"

"No, it's not. How did this happen?" Sixi's face was no less astonished than anyone else. He stared blankly at the medicinal materials, and under Zhao Zhen's sharp gaze, his lips and tongue trembled uncomfortably.

"Not for the small ones, not for the small ones. The officials are aware that the imperial concubine eats food and medicine every day, and some people test the poison. How can anyone dare to blatantly poison the imperial concubine..."

"Don't dare to be blatant, but dare to be sneaky?" Fu Jiuqu looked at him quietly, with a pair of black eyes faintly tinged with coldness, like some kind of demon beast gleaming.

"Come here, take Sixi to the prison in the imperial city and torture him!"

Sixi was so frightened that his face changed, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy, kowtowed, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned his head suddenly, and looked at Ma Shun as if suddenly enlightened.

"It was you who hurt me, right? You deliberately changed the medicinal materials?"

Ma Shun categorically denied, "You fart, how would I know that you were going to poison the imperial concubine's medicine?"

"Okay, Ma Shun, you agreed to make a fortune together, but you actually want to make me suffer alone. Let me just say, why did the Imperial City Secretary suddenly arrive..."

Sixi gritted his teeth and scolded Ma Shun angrily, because he knew very well in his heart that no matter whether Ma Shun betrayed him or not, this crime could not be cleared away.If he wanted to die, he would die with Rama Shun.Maybe because of the good explanation, spare his life?

Sixi knelt firmly this time.

"Officials, the small ones are guilty, but the small ones were all deceived by this bastard Ma Shun."

Ma Shun's face was livid, and he kowtowed and shouted, "Officials, Sixi is slandering the little one. The little one doesn't know anything, and the little one is wronged..."

"Shut up!" Zhao Zhen's brain ached from the noise.

Dog bites dog, a mouthful of hair.

"Sixi, tell me."

"Yes, official." Sixi straightened up, with her head lowered.

"The decoction that the imperial concubine takes is indeed poisonous—"

Before the voice fell, the hall gasped.

Zhao Zhen slapped the table, "You guys are so brave!"

Sixi lay on the ground with her hands on the ground, her shoulders trembling, "But the poison given to the concubine is slightly toxic. Ma Shun said that it is a kind of medicinal material used as ointment. It is called, what is it called Mi Tuo? It needs to be accumulated over time to be effective." ...The silver needle cannot be detected. Even if someone finds out that it is poisoned, the ointment given to the imperial concubine can be denied in the end..."

He glanced at the pile of herbs again.

"The little one tried it with a silver needle before, and the silver needle wouldn't change color... This time, it must be Ma Shun who heard that the imperial concubine died... Afraid of a thorough investigation by the officials, he wanted to push me to recite it alone..."

Zhao Zhen stared at him coldly, "Continue talking."

Sixi cried, "Young one likes to gamble with dice, and lost a lot of money... The young one and Ma Shun are fellow villagers. At first, he was kind enough to lend money to the young one. Later, the more he lost, he forced the young one to pay back the money. The little one didn't come up yet, so he said he wanted to report me to the prison guard. The little one begged him...he gave the little one a trick to let the little one steal the imperial concubine's jewelry and sell it. The little one was also blinded by eating lard My heart, once I stretch out my hand, it can't be washed clean again."

Sixi burst into tears at the end.

"At first the little one was just stealing things, and later Ma used this to coerce the young one into doing things for him, and harming the imperial concubine..."
