Work overtime

Following Jiang Yuebai's instructions, Han Ziqian personally delivered the white head flowers used for the ceremony to each concubine, and asked each mistress to choose two from five styles.

There is nothing wrong with this in terms of the harem management rules, because the queen used to do the same thing when giving out bouquets to each palace.

It’s just that the hair on the head is not too much or too little. At the beginning, high-ranking concubines had a wide range of textures and styles to choose from. The further you go, the fewer there are to choose from, and the last ones are the leftovers.

And Jiang Yuebai's selection method seemed to treat all concubines equally. Obviously, he has more respect for the lower-ranking concubines and pleases most of them. After all, most concubines nowadays have low status.

Therefore, everyone thought that Jiang Yuebai was taking the opportunity to win people's hearts and pave the way for his rise to power later. No one guessed Jiang Yuebai's true motives.

Do you have such thoughts? Of course there is. Jiang Yuebai always likes to kill two birds with one stone when doing things.

As expected, Han Ziqian discovered the problem.

Na Yang agreed to lie on the hospital bed still wearing a veil, so tightly covered that only a vague outline could be seen.

But I can feel that she is a beautiful woman.

Han Ziqian knelt down to say hello, and heard two clear words from the upper left, "No courtesy."

Just stop talking. All the maids on the side were communicating with Han Ziqian.

When choosing the head flower, the palace maid asked Han Ziqian to stay aside. She brought the wooden plate to Yang Yaoyong and pointed at it without saying a word. The palace maid picked two from them, then took out the rest and handed them back to Han Ziqian.

Jiang Yuebai speculated based on this that it might have been the original high-ranking concubine who poisoned Yang promised, but there was no solid evidence. Or even if there is solid evidence, it is not convenient to deal with the poisoner at that time. The poison can be disfiguring and debilitating.

Yang promised that his father was probably also an official in the imperial court, and his official position was not low. So we are still actively treating him.

After Han Ziqian came back to report, Jiang Yuebai ordered Han Ziqian to take Jiang Yu to a consultation.

Jiang Yu was also shocked.

Jiang Yu has only been in his new role as hospital envoy for more than half a month, and he is still not familiar with the operation of the hospital. He had no idea that there was a patient in the palace who was bedridden for a long time. But it's no wonder. Because basically all the people in Tai Hospital died last time, and now it is a completely new team, and everyone is getting familiar with it.

If he takes the No. 1 pulse, the problem will be big.

Yang promised to have a lot of rashes on his face, which were scabbed and disfigured, but after careful inspection, there were no signs of poisoning.

At the same time, a sudden fall while dancing led to an unexpected miscarriage, but the miscarriage was incomplete. Twenty days after menstruation, she had serious gynecological problems, her body was weak, and she was already very ill.

Yang promised to be in tears all the time and did not dare to look directly at Jiang Yu. He couldn't say more than a few words, but he was choked up and couldn't make a sound.

Jiang Yu was worried, thought for a long time, and prescribed some preliminary treatment medicine. He quickly went back and reported the relevant situation to Jiang Yuebai truthfully.

Jiang Yuebai thought about it and realized that this was consistent with his previous guess. Probably after Yang agreed to become pregnant, the high-ranking concubines were jealous and used means to cause her to have an abortion. Women in modern society are very hurt after abortion. What's more, drugs like cinnabar and mercury were used in ancient times. It can easily lead to incomplete abortion, inflammation, metrorrhagia, and even infertility.

Jiang Yu told him very solemnly that Yang promised to be seriously ill because of the long delay. If you want to stop metrorrhagia, you may never be able to have children again.

Jiang Yuebai did not make a decision immediately. The day before yesterday, he and the concubine just stayed to talk after the morning meeting, so he asked the concubine if he knew that Yang had agreed to this person.

After the concubine was silent for a moment, she told Jiang Yuebai that the uncle Yang promised was Meng Xiang. Because Meng Xiang only had an only daughter and did not want to send her to the palace. Therefore, arrangements were made for the niece to enter the palace. The concubine was surprised to hear that Yang promised to be pregnant and had a miscarriage.

All he said was that Yang promised to be very ill.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival birthday banquet, when Yang promised to perform a dance, he suddenly felt itchy all over, a red rash appeared on his face, he had difficulty breathing, and suddenly fell to the ground.

At that time, it was suspected that he had been poisoned, but after a silver needle test and the imperial doctor's diagnosis, he was not poisoned.

Later, after some investigation, it was discovered that Yang promised not to eat peanuts since he was a child. If he eats peanuts, he will develop rashes and have difficulty breathing. When making mooncakes in the palace, because the Queen Mother likes to eat peanuts, they always add crushed peanuts or peanut powder, which is nothing special. What’s special is that I discovered that there is a snack that usually does not contain peanut powder, but this year it does. This snack is Yang’s favorite.

But because only ordinary peanut powder was added, it was the Queen Mother’s preference. The interrogation of the cook and the maid did not yield any useful information. Because this snack is indeed more fragrant and delicious with the addition of peanut powder.

So in the end it was nothing.

Moreover, during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Yang promised that there was no bloodshed. However, he got seriously ill after that. I heard that not only his appearance was broken, but also the fundamentals of his body were damaged, and even his monthly routine was affected. He could not get clean for several days, so his body was extremely weak and dying.

At first Yang agreed and reluctantly went to pay his respects, but he fainted at the scene and bleeded all over the floor, alarming the emperor and frightening the queen. Yang was simply exempted from the greetings he had promised, and was ordered to stay in bed to recuperate. Daily follow-up visits were arranged at the Tai Hospital.

The emperor was very angry when he found out that Yang had agreed to ask for peace, and severely reprimanded the queen.

The subject became taboo.

The Queen didn't mention it, Concubine Jing didn't mention it, and Concubine He wouldn't even mention it. Although the concubine and the concubine felt that the matter was very strange, Yang was indeed favored by the emperor for more than two months after he agreed to enter the palace. For her, there is nothing wrong with missing one such person.

Gradually, Yang agreed and was forgotten.

So when Concubine He heard that Yang promised to be two months pregnant at that time, and that it was not irregular menstruation but a miscarriage, she was surprised and at the same time felt that the truth of the matter should be like this.

The two methods of abortion are so similar.

They all used tricks to make the pregnant concubine look like she had fallen and had a miscarriage. Create the illusion that it was a pure accident, so that no matter how you investigate, the murderer will not be found.

He Fei ordered Jiang Yue to retreat and tell what happened. After listening to this, Jiang Yuebai felt cold in his heart. It's really the same routine.

So the Queen is the mastermind?

Jiang Yuebai thought about it for a while and felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it I found the answer.

It was Concubine Jing, who is now Chen Xuanshi.

If it has nothing to do with Concubine Jing, then according to Concubine Jing's character, she will definitely seize on this matter and try every means to irritate the Queen. After all, the emperor reprimanded the queen for this matter. But she didn't, so Reason was probably involved.

Concubine Jing is particularly good at dancing. How could he tolerate other women's dancing catching the emperor's eyes? Coupled with the overt and covert fighting between Prime Minister Chen and Prime Minister Meng in the court. Concubine Jing has every reason to cooperate with the queen.

In order to confirm this conjecture, Jiang Yuebai asked Concubine He: "How does the dance that Yang promised compare with Chen Xuan's performance?"
