The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 74 Drug Testing (2)

Then Jiao Rong picked up a pair of chopsticks and began to try every dish. She directly reached out and picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root. It took a little time for the medicine to take effect. It seemed the most natural way to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root first.

Jiao Rong tried her best to be calm, while Yizhu watched Jiao Rong get the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root in her hands, her expression turned pale, she swallowed her saliva lightly, and tightly clenched her fingers.

The poison had no taste, so Jiao Rong ate a whole piece of candied lotus root, swallowed it without chewing carefully, without any expression change during the whole process.Then Jiaorong's attention shifted to the other dishes on the table. She picked up the leaves on the plate one by one, until the end of the meal, Jiaorong's stomach slowly felt pain.

Jiaorong realized that the poison was about to take effect, and immediately gave Yizhu a look.Yizhu received the imperial doctor Sun who had been waiting in Chengqian Palace early in the morning, and now he frowned and nodded slightly to Jiaorong.

Not long after, Jiaorong felt a sharp pain in her stomach, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the table in an instant.A fishy smell suddenly rose from Jiaorong's throat, and she spit out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably in an instant, and subconsciously supported the table with her hands.

This scene scared Concubine Yi and Bai He next to her. This is the second time Concubine Yi has seen this scene. She screamed again, but she didn't back away in fright, but rushed forward Go, supported Jiaorong's body, and exclaimed, "Jiaorong! What's going on!"

Doctor Sun's poison is indeed quite powerful, Jiaorong squinted her eyes and couldn't help thinking whether it was true what Doctor Sun said yesterday about picking a milder poison.However, this unbearable pain reminded Jiaorong that the poison Li Chang had given to Concubine Yi's food was much stronger than what she was eating now, otherwise the palace maid would not have died so miserable.

Jiao Rong felt a tremor in her throat, which made her unable to speak, and could only look at Concubine Yi who was in a hurry in front of her.Really feeling the power of the poison made Jiaorong more determined. Since Li Changzai once had the idea of ​​poisoning Concubine Yi, she must not let Li Changzai go like this.

"Ma'am, Doctor Sun is waiting outside to give you a peace pulse, and this servant will call him here!" Although Yi Zhu had already prepared herself, when she saw Jiao Rong's appearance of losing consciousness, she still had a hard time. Can't help but get anxious.

In fact, she still didn't understand what was the point of Jiaorong's doing these things, because she did so many things that hurt herself for a hatred that didn't belong to her at all.But in the end, it was nothing more than getting rid of a concubine. Although Concubine Yi easily relieved her hatred, what did she gain for herself?

Doctor Sun had been waiting outside early in the morning, and came in very quickly now, and trotted up to Jiaorong, realizing that he was a little too eager, and let out an "ah" with poor acting skills, and said artificially: "Miss Jiaorong, what's the matter?" What's the matter? How could this happen!"

After the words fell, Sun Taiyi didn't wait for Concubine Yi to respond, he opened the medicine box, and directly took out the antidote specially designed to relieve the poison in Jiaorong's body.

At that time, Concubine Yi was hugging Jiaorong, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, she didn't notice the whole set of very unnatural actions of Imperial Physician Sun, when she heard that Imperial Physician Sun was holding the antidote, she took it without saying a word, He fed Jiao Rong with his own hands.

Jiaorong had never experienced this severe pain in her stomach, and it was really hard to bear. She broke out in a cold sweat and shivered all the time.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai He opened the eyes of the people in front of her, knowing that she was unable to help, she asked silently: "Your Majesty, do you want this servant to report to the Emperor?"

Hearing this, Concubine Yi hurriedly raised her head, and said eagerly: "Go! Go quickly! We must find the emperor!"

This is the second time that Chengqian Palace has been poisoned by someone. Concubine Yi has been silently guilty for a long time for the maid who died because of testing poison for her before. It's unbearable, like a group of ants pulling my heart.

The poison measurement and the antidote given by Sun Taiyi are naturally easy to use and correct. After a while, Jiao Rongjiang gradually stopped shaking, and the cold sweat on his body stopped after the last stubble.It's just that she still couldn't hold back, and fainted from the pain.

"Jiaorong, don't sleep... Be obedient, don't sleep!" Concubine Yi shook Jiaorong's body in fear, her brows furrowed tightly, for fear that Jiaorong would not be able to wake up after falling asleep.

Seeing Jiaorong's pale face, Imperial Physician Sun sighed deeply, put his fingers lightly on Jiaorong's wrist, and said softly: "Concubine Yi, don't panic, I have already checked Jiaorong's pulse, and the antidote is ready to take." In time, the toxin in Jiaorong girl's body did not spread, and her life would not be in danger."

At this moment, there was a sound of mighty footsteps outside the hall, the emperor quickly walked into the hall, and the guards behind him also followed very quickly, a group of people walked in like this, and all gathered around the dining table.

When the emperor heard the news that Jiao Rong had been poisoned, he immediately lost his mind and completely forgot the demeanor that an emperor should maintain. When he walked up to Concubine Yi, he asked in a deep voice, "How is she?"

Hearing the sound, Concubine Yi raised her head to look at the emperor, seeing the nervous expression on this handsome face that she had never seen before, she couldn't help being stunned for a few seconds.

Seeing that Concubine Yi forgot to answer, Imperial Physician Sun hurriedly responded for her: "Your Majesty, don't panic, the poison in Miss Jiaorong's body has been stopped, and her life is not in danger for the time being."

At this moment, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief visibly.He pursed his lips, and because of the Tai Chi, there was a thin wisp of sweat on his forehead.Not only the emperor, but also the imperial guards were panting a little. The emperor had never been in such a hurry before. He didn't even prepare the sedan chair, and rushed directly from Qianqing Palace to Chengqian Palace.

"What's going on?" The emperor looked at the pool of blood on the table, and his face became extremely heavy, completely incomparable to the first time Chengqian Palace was poisoned.

He knew he shouldn't blame him, but the moment he learned that Jiao Rong was poisoned by concubine Yi, he really blamed concubine Yi from the bottom of his heart. , why do you have to let Jiaorong do such a thing?
"I don't know." Concubine Yi's eyes were very red, and she shook her head helplessly, "There have been no problems with the food in Chengqian Palace these days, but it happened again today. velvet……"

"Your Majesty, don't say that..." Yi Zhu couldn't help but whispered.Although they all knew the truth, with Concubine Yi's temperament, they would really blame themselves for poisoning Jiao Rong for a long time.

The emperor also knew Concubine Yi's character, so he didn't say anything more, lowered his head slightly, and said deeply: "It's my fault, I should have found out the real culprit who poisoned you last time, otherwise I wouldn't let Jiaorong suffer too." guilty."
