The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 75 Drug Testing (3)

Liang Jiugong stood behind the emperor, bowed and held a white-haired whisk, staring at Jiaorong for a long time, frowning all the time, his expression seemed a little strange.Seeing that the emperor was anxious, he comforted him softly: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, Chengqian Palace has already been poisoned twice, the most important thing is to catch the mastermind behind the scenes."

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes were still fixed on Jiaorong's face, and he stood up slowly, the expression on his face was set off by the pure yellow that symbolized dignity, which was more deep and fierce.Due to the backlight, the emperor's pupils looked very dark, his thin lips moved slightly, and he gritted his teeth and uttered a very cold word: "Check."

In the next second, the emperor slowly turned around and looked at the well-trained imperial guards behind him, with a serious expression on his face that was no less serious than that of the soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield: "The imperial chef who is cooking the meals in the imperial dining room today, is there any chance?" All palace servants who deliver food in the palace will be sent to Chengqian Palace for strict interrogation, and if no one is willing to recruit them, they will all be sent to the Punishment Department!"

"Yes." The imperial guards bowed their heads in unison, and then ran to the outside of the hall one after another, doing things very quickly.

After all the guards had left, the hall became much quieter, the emperor leaned down again, his eyes carefully sweeping over Jiaorong's body.Xu Shijiaorong's skin was fair, but now that she was poisoned, she was as pale as a corpse, with no blood at all.

The emperor's gaze finally shifted to the forearm wrapped in linen cloth, his eyes darkened a little.Although he is extremely impatient and less rational at the moment, but he is an emperor after all, and he is proficient in strategies and strategies, so it is naturally impossible not to suspect that Jiaorong is using bitter tricks for the second time.

But this is just the emperor's rationality. His idea only stayed in his mind for a few seconds before being completely erased by him subjectively.In his heart, Jiaorong has become the most loyal and noble representative in spirit, and he doesn't believe that Jiaorong would do such a laborious thing as pretending to be pitiful and gaining sympathy for others.

And Jiaorong's little tricks were not to win the emperor's favor, she just wanted to exchange her own flesh and blood for a fairness - the fairness that a person who did evil would be punished.

What the emperor didn't notice was that although Concubine Yi was holding Jiaorong at the moment, her gaze was indeed on his face.The emperor's distressed eyes all fell into Concubine Yi's eyes. Concubine Yi looked at Jiao Rong in her arms with some doubts, and couldn't help caressing Jiao Rong's pale face with her slender fingers. He looked at the emperor again, but found that he still had the same expression.

Not long after, Xida was the first to rush in. He stopped, took a breath, and reported: "Your Majesty, everyone has been escorted to the main hall."

The emperor raised his head and glanced at Xida, who was standing there panting uncontrollably, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he knew that he was in a hurry to find it.Seeing Xida's appearance, the emperor confirmed his thoughts even more, that Jiaorong would not attack him a second time.

Immediately, the emperor slowly got up, looked at Yi Zhu and Bai He who had been standing beside him for a long time, and said, "Take Jiao Rong to the main hall."

After saying that, the emperor looked away, and walked out of Concubine Yi's bedroom with a cold face. When he walked, he seemed to have a layer of cold aura on his body, which made people feel unstoppable fear.

All the imperial chefs who had cooked meals today, as well as Wang Dawei and others who delivered the meals, had all arrived at the main hall of Chengqian Palace. Everyone knelt on the ground, and the imperial guards on both sides held their necks with knives.

Kneeling at the front was Ersen. He didn't prepare meals for the harem today, but he was in the imperial dining room when the other imperial chefs were preparing dishes, so he was also escorted here.

Seeing the poisoned Jiaorong being helped to the wooden chair beside him, Er Sen frowned fiercely, and got up without saying a word, with a very worried tone: "Rong'er! What's wrong with her! Why? Haven't woken up yet!"

The imperial guard behind him naturally didn't know about Ersen's relationship with Jiaorong, so he pulled Ersen's collar ruthlessly from behind, and the knife against his neck tightened a little, almost drawing blood.

At this moment, the emperor had just arrived at the main seat in the main hall, and with the yin energy on his body undiminished, he quietly swept over everyone in front of him, and finally stopped at Er Sen, and said to the imperial guard behind him: "Put Er Sen away." open."

Hearing this, the imperial guard hurriedly retracted the knife, and almost instantly, Ersen got up and ran to Jiaorong in a panic. Turned blood red.

"Rong'er, Rong'er!" Er Sen stood in front of Jiaorong, shaking her arm gently, his eyes were wide open, his fingers were trembling but he didn't know what to do.

Seeing Ersen's appearance, the emperor pursed his lips unbearably, and his voice faded a bit: "Don't worry, Jiao..."

The emperor wanted to appease Ersen, but when he mentioned Jiaorong's name, he paused.He has never called Jiaorong's name openly in front of everyone. After all, it is the boudoir name of a girl who has not left the court. Even if he is the emperor, he is still an outsider to Jiaorong. It is very impolite to call him like this. of.

But right now he doesn't want to take care of these anymore, thinking of these concubines in the palace making troubles to Jiaorong time and time again, bullying her as a court lady with no status or status, the emperor can't help but want to tell everyone that Jiaorong is His, no one can move.

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyelashes drooped slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and he continued with what he said just now: "Jiaorong's poison has stopped, there will be no danger to life, you can wake up after a good rest."

Hearing this, Er Sen turned his head and glanced at the emperor, the expression on his face was still extremely worried and nervous, he lowered his head slowly, and his voice carried the vicissitudes of an old man: "Thank you, the emperor, for your grandson."

After that, the emperor turned his head to look at the people in front of him, his expression became serious again, and he began to deal with business.He frowned, and said in a cold tone: "I will give you all a chance to tell me who poisoned you. As long as you confess the mastermind behind it, I will spare you all your death."

Hearing this, Wang Dawei, who was kneeling behind, lowered his head and didn't make a sound.After all, the last time he poisoned Chengqian Palace, the emperor didn't pay much attention to it, and didn't go to great lengths to investigate people.

But what he didn't know was that the reason why the emperor didn't thoroughly investigate the poisoning last time was because the emperor knew that it was probably because he had favored Concubine Yi for too long, and the concubines in the harem had opinions, so he wanted to scare Concubine Yi.After all, the concubines in the harem will let the palace people taste the food and test the poison before eating, and the possibility of poisoning the concubine to death is too small.

But this time is obviously different. The emperor understands that Jiaorong has become a thorn in the eyes of the palace masters. Although she is only a court lady, she has provoked many concubines. It may poison the maids in Concubine Yi's palace.
