Chapter 634 The Mystery of Ginseng
Concubine Xian nervously looked at the ginseng held in Jiang Xian's hand. It seemed to be in very good condition and was quite old. "But is there something wrong with this ginseng?"

Jiang Yu glanced at his younger brother, then took the initiative to salute and said, "The ginseng in this box is extremely rare. It can be said to be priceless and unavailable even if you want to buy it. If you make a medicine, it can extend your life at a critical moment. And there is only one ginseng, I can make more than ten life-sustaining honey pills. I would like to ask my queen for this ginseng."

Jiang Yuebai was very surprised and said, "Is this ginseng really so rare? Li Chun, go and call Su Su Lai to find out who gave this ginseng to you. Sister, I got a big treasure."

Susu heard that this ginseng could be used as life-saving pills during childbirth, so she immediately brought the inventory registration book. After checking, it turned out to be a gift from the late queen.

Jiang Yuebai held the box and couldn't put it down and sighed, "No wonder. I am afraid that only the late empress is so kind to me and is willing to give me such expensive ginseng."

Jiang Xian seemed to be afraid that Jiang Yuebai would eat it on a whim, and said anxiously, "This kind of ginseng is too strong. Even healthy people cannot eat it. It will cause excessive qi and blood, hair loss and nosebleeds. Not to mention pregnant women with twins." Madam Jianing, please don’t eat it randomly, and... don’t give it away.”

Jiang Yuebai looked at Concubine Xian happily, "Such a good tonic. How about stewing squab and giving it to the emperor? The emperor has been working hard recently. He doesn't know how to make something delicious and send it to Qinzheng Palace."

"You have finally enlightened and know how to compete for favor." Concubine Xian looked happy, just like an old mother looking at her cute little daughter.

Jiang Xian's eyes flashed with subtle disappointment, "I boldly suggest that it would be more appropriate for the empress to give her to the Taiyuan Hospital to make pills and then give them to the emperor."

Jiang Yuebai said happily, "Okay. Then I'll leave it to you two."

"I cheated." Jiang Xian took his armband and leaned into his brother's ear and joked, "I didn't expect my eldest brother to be so good at acting."

The two of them took the steps of directors of hospitals in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and smiled like the Buddha who saves all sentient beings.

The two of them locked eyes unconsciously.

Concubine Tian asked with a smile, "Do you have in your hands a gift from Concubine Jianing?"

Finally, the two Imperial Physicians Jiang left Ning'an Palace with three boxes of ginseng. Jiang Yuebai ordered Li Chun to send the two imperial doctors in person.

Jiang Yu lowered his voice and said, "Look at my eyes."

Jiang Yu looked around warily and approached his brother, "Let's go back and study first before making plans."

Sure enough, after leaving the palace gate and turning left, he saw Concubine Tian standing at the gate of the palace with a little white dog, talking to Yucai.

"I see you, Concubine Tian."

But if you want to go back to Taiyuan Hospital, you have to go in the direction of Qixia Palace. Maybe it's Concubine Tian and Yu Cairen who "accidentally met" at the palace gate.

Jiang Xian and Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Continue to check the remaining ginseng. There were two more boxes among them. Jiang Yu said they looked a bit spoiled and should not be consumed by others.

The two brothers were walking in the yard, desperately wiping the sweat off their heads. Jiang Yu approached his brother in a very low voice and said, "You can take out these three boxes of ginseng."

Jiang Yu didn't expect that Concubine Tian would ask so directly. He was stunned for a moment and said cautiously, "Concubine Jianing wants to make some tonics using ginseng to prepare for delivery."

Tian Fei tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "Why not let Tai Hospital do it directly? Isn't Tai Hospital's ginseng good?"

Jiang Yu thought about it and said, "I don't know about this. Maybe the ginseng from the empress is of better quality." "I am very curious about what good-quality ginseng looks like. Can you show it to me?" Concubine Tian asked with a pouted smile, looking innocent and cute.

Jiang Xian was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "I'll forgive you, I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

Concubine Tian saw that the two people were in such a hurry to leave, that they had to make eye contact before meeting her, and that they were secretive when asking questions. She couldn't help but suspect that these high-end-looking gift boxes were not filled with ginseng, even if they were ginseng. I'm afraid it's also quite strange.

But what’s so special about this gift box?

Could it be
Concubine Tian suddenly thought of Fan Chang's miscarriage last night. It seemed that there was something wrong with the chicken soup stewed with angelica, ginseng, and orange peel that she ate, and it contained ginseng. Among them, the medicinal ingredient ginseng was given by Concubine Xian.

The emperor actually concluded immediately that it was absolutely impossible for Xian Fei to do it. Is it possible that the ginseng was not given by Concubine Xian herself, but was taken from Concubine Jianing?

There is no need to think about Concubine Jianing's motive for murdering Fan Cairen. To reduce competition, she could also frame Xi Concubine. After all, the two had a feud before.

I came to see the imperial doctor today just to destroy the evidence. After all, everything in the library has an account, especially the valuable ginseng, which must be registered. Concubine Jianing's daily diet is recorded in detail, and she may not have eaten ginseng. Therefore, if it is destroyed directly, it will be covered up.

Tian Fei's mind was racing rapidly, but she always felt that something was wrong. His mind quickly changed to another train of thought.

Perhaps Concubine Jianing discovered that there was something wrong with the ginseng in her palace and immediately asked the imperial doctor to identify it. He even called Concubine Xian early in the morning. These boxes contain problematic ginseng. Imperial Physician Jiang and the others took the ginseng back to Imperial Hospital for research.

Concubine Tian suddenly felt that this was the right answer:
"I have been tired and agitated recently. I wanted to take advantage of Sister Jianing's treasure and ask the two envoys to take a pulse. Since the two envoys have important matters to attend to, I will not delay the two adults' official duties."

Concubine Tian watched the two Imperial Physicians Jiang walking towards the Qinzheng Hall, a little surprised.

Are they directly filing a complaint on behalf of Concubine Jianing?

Concubine Jianing was so powerful that she actually asked two envoys to file a complaint on her behalf.

Concubine Tian thought for a while and ordered the young eunuch Ran Dongsheng to get a bonsai of rockery and bamboo and go to Qinzheng Hall together.

The two Imperial Physicians Jiang reported their new discovery to the emperor immediately, as well as the process of unexpected discovery.

Therefore, the smell of the ginseng the queen gave to Jiang Yuebai was exactly the same as the ginseng in Fan Cai's chicken soup last night. They are all specially treated with another rare herb that has a slippery effect.

If Jiang Yuebai mistakenly eats this ginseng tonic, then the tonic effect of century-old wild ginseng combined with the medicinal effect of the medicinal herb will cause miscarriage as long as she is pregnant, no matter how many months pregnant she is.

The other two ginseng roots also had problems.

One was given by Zhen Jieyu. She used extremely precise techniques to make a small opening in the ginseng, stuffed it with a strong abortion drug, and then glued the small opening back together. If you don't distinguish carefully, you can't tell the difference at all.

There was another ginseng given by Ye Suhua. The ginseng was very big and there was nothing wrong with it. It was just that it had deteriorated due to moisture. This was a normal case of improper storage. For the sake of caution, this ginseng tree was also "confiscated".

After hearing this, Li Beichen couldn't help but look solemn and clenched his fists.

Xie Kewei. Xie family. Isn't it enough to have killed one of his imperial heirs one after another?
In anger, he smashed the teacup on the ground. Just as he was about to speak, Liang Xiaobao announced that Concubine Tian had come to the Qinzheng Hall with her little white dog in her arms. He said he had something to give to the emperor.
