Chapter 190 Poisoning
Fengze Palace is now in chaos.

In the dormitory, there was another Si Yuan, crying in front of Qu Miao.

Bai Su couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said: "Siyuan, the imperial doctor has not yet made a judgment on the symptoms of the empress, how can you be crying and shouting like this?"

During this period, Bai Su was not liked by Qu Miao, which was a fact that everyone saw; Si Yuan took advantage of the opportunity and showed some dignity in front of Qu Miao.

Now Bai Su is using his identity as the eldest maid of Fengze Palace to teach Siyuan a lesson. Siyuan finally got ahead, so why is Siyuan still willing to obey Bai Su's arrangements as obediently as before?

"Of course I'm not as cruel as Miss Bai Su," Siyuan wiped her tears, but peeked out from the edge of the handkerchief, "I only care for our queen, so naturally I feel sorry for her! Unlike Miss Bai Su, I don’t know where my heart has gone!”

"You talk like this, you deserve to be slapped!" Even though Bai Su has always been good-tempered, he also got angry at this time.

"Your Majesty, you are still sick, what are you yelling about?" Bai Zhi was leading Peng Qingyin to the inner room when she saw Bai Su teaching Si Yuan a lesson. Although she couldn't stand Si Yuan, she didn't want to see Bai Su teach Si Yuan a lesson. Put it in front of caring about the music.

"Care leads to chaos." Peng Qingyin knew what kind of temper Qu Miao was now. Although she was in charge of palace affairs, she did not want to interfere in the internal affairs of Fengze Palace. She just calmly settled the dispute, and then looked at the imperial doctor, "Noble Concubine Why is the queen vomiting blood?"

"Originally, I thought it was caused by internal dryness in autumn." Zhang Quan was pushed to the front and said helplessly, "But now it seems that the imperial concubine may have been poisoned."

"Poisoned?!" Peng Qingyin, as steady as she was now, was also shocked.

"Yes." Zhang Quan sighed, "I have checked all the medicines and medicine residues taken by the imperial concubine in the past few days, and there are no problems."

"What kind of poison was it?" Peng Qingyin asked eagerly.

Zhang Quan looked troubled: "I also asked Ms. Bai Zhi carefully what she had done before she vomited blood. I only had a rough guess and was not very sure."

"Baizhi." Peng Qingyin called, "Say it again."

"The empress woke up this morning in a good mood. She also said that thanks to Miss Zhu's attentiveness yesterday and the soothing incense she burned before going to bed, she slept very well," Bai Zhi said while sobbing, "and lamented that Empress De Fei has been worrying too much recently. I also specially sent a white jade Buddha to the Queen to calm her nerves, and the Queen feels much better."

"During breakfast, I smiled more and took two more mouthfuls of porridge than usual."

"Who would have thought that suddenly the queen would vomit blood!"

Bai Zhi said, unable to help crying again.

When Peng Qingyin heard that Bai Zhi specifically mentioned the white jade Buddha she had given as a gift, her heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose from the bottom of her heart.

"Have An Shenxiang checked?"

Amidst the sounds of kneeling down and saying goodbye, Ning Zhao walked in with a tired look on his face.

There was nothing going on this morning, so he left the court early. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Fengze Palace and Changle Palace sent letters respectively, saying the same thing.

Concubine Liang vomited blood, so Ning Zhao had to come anyway.

"Reporting to your Majesty, we have checked and found that the Anshen Incense is fine." Zhang Quan added, "Almost all suspicious items have been checked and there are no abnormalities."

"Almost?" Ning Zhao raised his eyes.

Zhang Quan hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything.

Siyuan cried and knelt forward, kowtowed and said, "The white jade Buddha that Empress Dowager De Fei gave to the empress is because the empress loves it and never leaves her body when sitting or lying down. It is a personal thing of the empress, so she did not show it to your Majesty for inspection." "The white jade Buddha was not a gift from Concubine De, and there was no place to hide things, so the servants made their own decisions..." Si Fang shivered.

Ning Zhao's eyes were like cold wind, sweeping over the maid's face: "Who is this?"

"Your Majesty, I am the second-class maid of Fengze Palace. Because of your empress' appreciation, I promoted you to serve here," Siyuan said.

Ning Zhao nodded, and then turned his attention to Peng Qingyin.

At this moment, Peng Qingyin finally understood where her uneasiness came from.

This is probably directed at her.

"His Majesty is here now, Bai Zhi." Peng Qingyin did not trust Siyuan, but called Bai Zhi, "Go and take out the white jade Buddha and show it to Lord Zhang for inspection."

"Yes." Bai Zhi took the order and left.

Ning Zhao's eyes looked at Peng Qingyin a little more tenderly, but Peng Qingyin was speechless.

Soon, Bai Zhi took out the white jade Buddha with a handkerchief. Ning Zhao nodded, and Zhang Quan stepped forward to take it.

The white jade Buddha has a snow-white body, is warm and transparent, and has warm tentacles. It is the finest mutton-fat white jade. The carving of the jade Buddha is excellent. It was once offered as incense in the temple, so it is very precious.

But this was not what Zhang Quan paid attention to. After he got the jade Buddha in his hand, his expression changed several times. Then, a group of imperial doctors looked at the jade Buddha one after another. After carefully examining and smelling it, they all had solemn expressions.

Peng Qingyin's heart slowly lifted.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Ning Zhao was impatient to look at their faces and guess.

Zhang Quan stepped forward respectfully: "Your Majesty, this white jade Buddha... has been dipped in medicine."

Peng Qingyin's expression suddenly changed.

Ning Zhao didn't even look at her, but gave Zhang Quan a deep look: "What medicine?"

"After listening to Miss Bai Zhi's description before, I suspected that the imperial concubine was poisoned by a poison called 'Yixiaohong'." Zhang Quan said, "This poison is just like its name. If you are in a peaceful mood, it is not easy to be poisonous; if you are in a happy mood, it will not be poisonous. Or excitement, but it is more likely to trigger the poison, and it is common for people to vomit blood after laughing."

"This white jade Buddha has been soaked in this poison for many days. The poison has been immersed in it. If it is worn close to the body, it will inevitably become poisoned after a long time." Zhang Quan said.

"The imperial concubine has been poisoned for some time. It's just that the imperial concubine has been thinking too much in recent days and has not smiled, so the poison has not appeared," Zhang Quan sighed, "but in recent days, the imperial concubine has taken some soothing pills every day in order to sleep peacefully. Fragrance, that fragrance is specially prepared..."

"What was specially prepared?" Ning Zhao asked.

"Miss Zhu is worried about the imperial concubine, so she asked me to add some medicine a few days ago, which is good for relaxing the body and mind." Zhang Quan paused and couldn't help but said, "I never thought that it was a mistake, and it caused the poison. "

"It's a mistake," Ning Zhao slowly glanced at Siyuan who was hesitant to speak, "I'm afraid he has ulterior motives."

Zhang Quan had finished what he wanted to say. After reporting back to Ning Zhao, he discussed the detoxification method with other doctors from the Tai Hospital.

Ning Zhao turned his attention to Peng Qingyin: "Concubine De, what do you want to say?"
