Chapter 633 Who poisoned me
Later, the emperor followed Yi Jieyu back to Chengfu Palace, looking very concerned. But Jiang Chang stayed there, and it seemed like a drunkard didn't care about drinking. It was just a way to send Yi Jieyu home.

Li Beichen did nothing while Jiang Chang was there, just sleeping.

Jiang Changzai is timid and timid, and he was bullied badly in the past few days. Consciously hiding in the corner, huddled up like a kitten, without any extraneous thoughts, just wanted to be invisible in front of the emperor.

But who can think that they are just sleeping!

Even though it was raining outside, even though Yi Jieyu was pregnant, she still insisted on hiding outside and listening to two cups of tea. There was really nothing more to listen to, so I went back to the house to sleep.

The palace girls around her were afraid that something might happen to her mother's belly, so they wanted to tie her back to bed and sleep.

After Jiang Yuebai heard the news, he said two words without hesitation: "Scumbag!"

After listening to the confusing whole story of Fan Cairen's pregnancy in the middle of the night, Jiang Yuebai felt that there were too many twists and turns in the harem.

Just say that this is such a good chicken, why do you feed it with poison? Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?

Or maybe it was a premeditated attack of thousands of arrows. For example, I don’t like chicken. Fan Cairen happens to love eating chicken. Concubine Xian, haha, she doesn’t eat any meat dishes recently.

After all the people in Zizhu Garden left, only Fan Cai and the palace maid Xuanxuan were left in the room. Everyone else was assigned to other things.

Whoever is in charge gets screwed. There is something wrong with this system. But she was too lazy to take the initiative.

As Concubine Xian thought, the concubines could basically be ruled out, and there was no need for her to poison herself and cause trouble for herself. Meng Jieyu has a certain possibility, but it is not very likely. After all, he was demoted and banned because he forced someone to death, so he shouldn't be that stupid.

Fan Cairen's miscarriage made her a little panicked and reminded her of some bad memories.

I don’t know if I mean the medicine is bitter or my life is bitter.

I didn't expect that ginseng would be included in the suspect list last night, and I didn't expect that the emperor would choose to believe her and exclude her as a suspect in the first place.

Fan Cairen smiled bitterly: "It hurts. I have a headache and feel weak. It will probably take half a year to recover."

"I hope so," Fan Cairen said with some sadness, "I really envy Concubine Jianing. Now she is the concubine."

Or maybe there is something wrong with the system set by the emperor. As long as something happens below, the leader will be held responsible. Then the people below are deliberately causing trouble in order to get people off their posts. Wouldn’t it be that the person in charge of palace affairs has endless responsibilities and endless demotion?

Fan Cairen sighed, "It's just too bitter."

He touched his belly and said with tears in his eyes, "I still can't bear to part with you."

What's more, so many people in the palace are happy, what's the point of letting Fan Cairen slide?
Prevent her from ascending to the throne? They have all been promoted. envy? It's possible. After all, women lose their minds when they are jealous.

Xuanxuan asked with concern: "Little Master, how are you feeling? Does your stomach still hurt?"

Fan Cairen took a sip, and his nose and eyes wrinkled up in pain, and tears came out. It was so painful.

Jiang Yuebai guessed that Xi Concubine might have learned a lesson and took this opportunity to escape and throw the hot potato to Meng Jieyu.

Xuanxuan hurriedly fed Fan Cairen a bowl of distiller's grains, absinthe wormwood and brown sugar, and comforted her softly: "Drink some of this. It's very bitter. I heard it's good for your health. That's how it is in the harem. Even Concubine Jianing. She may not be able to give birth smoothly. There are many people staring at her belly.”

**********************
Concubine Xian came to Ning'an Palace after having breakfast. She had been holding in her thoughts all night and wanted to find Jiang Yuebai to express her feelings.

Concubine Xian told what she saw and heard last night, sighed and asked, "Jianing, you are the smartest, who do you think did this to Fan Cairen?"

Anyway, they were all appointed by the emperor. Be worthy of whoever you love.

"Just like this absinthe sugar water, it is bitter at first and then sweet. The good days of talented people will come later. Besides, even if the little master is born, he cannot be raised in front of you. As long as he can sleep with you in the future, you still have to worry about not being pregnant? Before he is born. After being promoted, the young master is the only one."

Xuanxuan: "My little master is still young and has a good foundation. He will recover quickly. There will be a long time to come. There are not many children who can be born in this harem."

Who is jealous of her?

Generally speaking, people in high positions look down upon them. No board-level executive would be jealous of a wage earner. Unless she has been harmed by this beating worker before and wants to take the opportunity to take revenge and kick her out.

Another kind is that high-ranking concubines use Fan Cai as a pawn to frame other high-ranking concubines. Who do you want to frame?
In addition to being poisoned by others, it is also possible that Fan Cairen did it himself.

So what's the motivation?

Maybe it's because she doesn't want to give the child to a high-ranking concubine, or she has discovered that the fetus is not good, or she wants to frame her?

If she wants to frame her, who should she frame her for?

Fan Cairen has a quiet and smooth personality. Except for some conflicts with Zhen Jieyu, he has no direct conflicts with others.

Frame it for Zhen Jieyu? Even if it was Zhen Jieyu who did it, the emperor would definitely not do anything to Zhen Jieyu.

Who do you want to frame it for? !
There is no problem with the herbs, but there is a problem with the chicken.

Jiang Yuebai suddenly remembered that he had ordered the palace maid to count the poisonous items in the palace a few days ago, but she did not count ginseng, angelica root, and tangerine peel.
After Fan Cairen became pregnant, she Ming Susu picked a good ginseng from the warehouse and gave it to Fan Cairen.
Jiang Yuebai was shocked, so could he be the target of this round?
The person who set up this situation can only be Zhen Wanyi.

The maids around Fan Cairen were probably bribed by Zhen Wanyi as early as Yanxi Palace. She secretly manipulated the ginseng she gave to Fan Cairen.

At this time, the imperial doctor mistakenly thought that there was something wrong with the chicken, but it just paralyzed everyone, especially himself, who had no time to make any preparations. Then when the emperor began to suspect, he sent the maid next to Fan Cairen to the Palace Chief and tortured her. After that, she confessed that the real reason for Fan Cairen's miscarriage was that he had taken the ginseng he gave him before and had already suffered from miscarriage symptoms. It was just yesterday. Late onset.

It seems more credible if someone is recruited after being tortured than if someone is recruited on their own initiative.

This not only accused her of murdering the emperor's heir, but also broke her long-term positive image.

Fan Cairen had refused to move in with him before, and Fan Cairen could easily tell negative testimony against Jiang Yuebai out of revenge and jealousy.

If the guess is correct, that fine ginseng root was either a gift from the late empress, a virtuous concubine, or a gift from the emperor. At that time, you will be in a dilemma. If you accept the charge of plotting to murder the emperor's heir, if you don't accept it, the reputation of the empress or the empress will be ruined.

The maid will probably confess tonight. Time is running out.

How to break.

Jiang Yuebai remained silent, peeling the melon seeds carefully, with a heavy gaze.

Concubine Xian asked curiously: "Sister, what are you thinking about."

"I was just thinking about whether to eat steamed pork ribs with lotus leaves for lunch. Sister, who do you think made it?"

As he spoke, he picked up a handful of melon seeds from the table and stuffed them into Concubine Xian's mouth.

Concubine Xian happily enjoyed the feeding while looking at Jiang Yuebai with her chin in her hands, "I don't have enough brain, I really can't tell."

He reached out and shook Jiang Yuebai's arm, "Tell me, tell me."

Jiang Yuebai shook his head, with a bit of helplessness.

"To be honest, I don't know either. Sister Fan is such a pitiful person. Jinxiu used to be the best friend with her. Thinking of this, I blame myself for not agreeing to move in with Sister Fan a few days ago."

Jiang Yuebai's eyes turned red as he spoke.

Concubine Xian patted Jiang Yuebai's hand and comforted, "You are just too kind. If you had really agreed to her moving here, wouldn't you have offended Zhen Jieyu? You need to take care of yourself, wouldn't it be wrong for her to move here? Add to the chaos.”

Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes: "I feel guilty after all."

While the two were talking, Jiang Xian and Jiang Yu followed the imperial decree and took Jiang Yuebai's pulse. Seeing that Concubine He was there, he also stopped by Concubine He.

Everything is fine.

Jiang Yuebai suddenly asked, "Two imperial doctors have seen that I can't eat every day and have lost a lot of weight. When the weather gets cooler, can I have some ginseng stewed pigeon soup to replenish my weight?"

When Jiang Yu heard this, he became anxious and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is losing weight, but it is a hot summer, and ginseng is hot and dry, which can easily lead to yin deficiency and excessive fire. If the deficiency is not replenished, it will easily cause fetal instability."

Jiang Yuebai asked worriedly: "I see. Fortunately, because of Fan Cairen's matter, I asked one more question. I can't eat these days, so I drink a few sips of ginseng and wolfberry tea every day for several days. Are you okay?"

Jiang Yu panicked when he heard this. He was a disobedient master again.

He quickly felt his pulse again, listened quietly for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "It doesn't matter. Your Majesty's pregnancy is special, so don't make any claims in the future."

"I won't dare to do it again," Jiang Yuebai told Li Chun with an expression like a child who had done something wrong.

"Li Chun, please quickly ask Susu to go to the warehouse and bring all the ginseng sent by others to the imperial doctors to see and appraise the grade. Since I can't eat it when there is a wedding, why not give it to other sisters. Sister Xianfei, what do you think? no?"

Concubine Xian smiled and joked, "Isn't it cheaper than others? It's better to give it to the Imperial Hospital. Who doesn't know that the emperor rewards you with so many good things?"

Jiang Yuebai smiled and said: "The Taipei Hospital purchases through official channels. Sister, please don't hurt me."

Jiang Yu thought to himself, if you really want to donate, we can go to the emperor and take the official green channel. The hospital couldn't ask for it more.

Jiang Xian lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Jiang Yue gave him an ancient recipe for Purple Snow Pill in vain, which cured the late empress. Later, the institute got off to a good start, shocking the newly recruited colleagues with their eyes raised to the sky, and also received a commendation from the emperor.

I always want to find a place to repay the favor.

From the beginning, he felt that Fan Cairen's rebirth was strange.

Previously, he was responsible for taking care of Zhen Jieyu. At that time, Fan Cairen lived in the same palace. He could feel Zhen Jieyu's jealousy of Jiang Yuebai and suspicion of Fan Cairen's pregnancy.

He suspected that Zhen Jieyu was behind this charade. Concubine Xian, Concubine Xi and Jieyu Meng are all pretense. What she really wanted to harm was Concubine Jianing.

It's just a break. He was puzzled.

Li Chun brought over all the ginseng from the warehouse, many of which were packed in very exquisite and high-end boxes. Each box is numbered and corresponds to the file in the inventory.

Jiang Xian opened one of them and sniffed it gently. He frowned and looked at his elder brother. Jiang Yu also smelled it with understanding.

"My Lady, would it be convenient for me to tell you which Lady gave me this ginseng?"
