Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 49 47. Counterattack
  As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the palace, and all the concubines were talking about it.

Xia Dongchun turned to look at Fu Yaosheng, only to see her frowning and her face pale, staring at the palace maid with her hands bound in the palace, her eyes revealed panic and fear, and her body was shaking imperceptibly.

"Is this happening? I remember that you are Yu Xin next to Concubine Chang. Please get up and answer the question." The emperor said solemnly.

The queen ordered someone to appoint the imperial doctor.

"The slaves obey."

"This girl looks familiar." Concubine Jing said softly.

"Doesn't she look familiar? This is Fu Yaosheng's personal palace maid. She brought her in from home." Rui Chang glanced at the frightened Fu Yaosheng and answered.

The two of them entered the palace together, so their words were naturally somewhat credible.

At this time, Fu promised to get up and walk to the center of the hall, kneel down and reply with a trembling voice.

"Back to the emperor, this person is indeed the concubine's personal maid, named Sulan. She also came from her hometown with her servants. But just now, the concubine sent her back to the palace to get the hand stove. Somehow, she was caught by Aunt Yuxin. Such a battle was brought back."

"Since I am your palace maid, please tell me what is in the paper bag that this servant dropped." Concubine Hua glanced sideways at Fu Yao, who was kneeling, and said in a loud voice.

"This slave is unjustly accused, this slave is unjustly accused, this paper bag does not belong to me..."

"Your Majesty, this thing actually fell out of Sulan's sleeve at that time. The slaves, several wet nurses, and the eunuchs on duty outside the palace all witnessed it. She must not be wronged."

At this time, the imperial doctor arrived. Because it was night, there were only a few imperial doctors on duty at the imperial hospital, and they all arrived at this time.

Because this medicine powder has no clue. Several imperial doctors examined it carefully, but none of them had any clues. Only the imperial physician Wang pondered without saying a word.

Xia Dongchun spoke at the right time, "Mr. Wang, have you discovered anything?"

"Wei Chen is not talented. This medicinal powder looks like a harmful medicinal powder that Wei Chen read about in a broken book."

"Harmful medicinal powder?" Xia Dongchun was surprised. Turning to look at the emperor, the emperor motioned for Wang Shunyi to continue.

"Exactly, this medicinal powder is made by crushing and boiling the seeds of several small poisonous plants. In addition, the spores produced on the surfaces of several plants are secretly prepared and purified using a special method. This makes it colorless and odorless. Once this medicinal powder is inhaled, it will It will adhere to the human respiratory tract. If you feel a little cold at this time, it will cause the toxicity of this substance, causing wheezing and coughing, high fever, and in severe cases, asthma and tuberculosis. If Weichen had not taken the risk of inhaling some powder , and cannot identify this kind of poison."

"What will happen if this medicinal powder is inhaled by an infant?" Xia Dongchun asked in shock.

"The baby is weak and has insufficient lung energy. If he inhales this powder, in this cold weather, it can easily induce asthma and be life-threatening."

"Quickly go to Yanxi Palace to see the prince and princess." Xia Dongchun said hurriedly.

The emperor immediately sent Dr. Wang to Yanxi Palace.

"You are so bold and a lowly servant that you dare to murder the emperor's heir. Tell me who ordered you." Xia Dongchun said angrily.

"I don't have it, I'm unjust, I'm unjust..." Su Lan waited on Fu Yao personally, and she naturally knew about the powder. It was the one that was used on Rui Changzai that day. She had also seen Qiu Lian's tragic situation. At this time, she only thought that Qiu Lian's wronged soul came to claim her life. Otherwise, Qiu Lian had already passed Sanqi and the medicine powder should have disappeared long ago, why did she appear here.

Fu promised to be frightened. Naturally, she also thought of Qiu Lian. She couldn't help but tremble all over and couldn't even speak clearly.

"The emperor is aware that the concubine does not know this, concubine... the concubine is unjustly accused, the concubine does not know..." The emperor's face was as dark as water at this moment, and he shouted angrily, "You don't know this? She is your personal maid, you Don’t you know this?”

At this time, Fu promised to be shaking like chaff, and she remembered the nightmare days after Qiulian's death. Every night, Qiulian, with disheveled hair and blood all over her body, would stretch out her long nails and pinch her neck. , she looked directly at the face that was as pale as paper and was bleeding from all over, screaming and trying to break free but gradually suffocating. Finally, she was awakened by Su Lan while she was suppressing the feeling of death and crying bitterly.

Xia Dongchun naturally knew where the medicinal powder came from. Of course, it was found at Qiulian's residence. Qiulian was afraid that something would happen, so she deliberately kept a backup plan and did not dispose of the powder as instructed. She is a little clever, but not much.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter can only prove that Su Lan has evil intentions and intends to murder the emperor's heir. It does not mean that Fu promised to instigate it..." the queen advised.

"Don't you think the excuse is too far-fetched, Queen? This slave is Feng's personal maid. If she didn't instigate it, who else could it be?" Concubine Hua said sarcastically.

At this time, Xia Dongchun came to the center of the hall and knelt down, crying and saying, "Your Majesty, I am a new mother. I didn't expect that someone would harm my child. I know that I have never offended Fu Yao. I don't know why Fu Yao has the heart to do it." Such a poisonous hand. If Yu Xin hadn't been cautious, my concubine's seventh elder brother and the princess might have been... They were just one month old, and they had just received the name given by the father..."

Zhen Huan showed unbearable expression at this time. Xu was also a mother, which touched her heart. She stepped forward to help Xia Dongchun and said softly, "Sister Xia, don't worry, the emperor will definitely make the decision for you. Get up quickly. The ground is cold. You have just come out." Confinement."

"Concubine Chang, please don't be anxious first. The seventh elder brother and the princess are also my children. If someone is bold enough to murder the emperor's heir, I will not be lenient."

At this time, a palace maid came to report that the seventh prince and the princess were fine.

Although she had expected it, Xia Dongchun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fengshi, do you have anything else to say?"

Fu Yao promised and the palace maid Su thought of Qiu Lian who died tragically, and were filled with fear and speechless.

"Then let's leave it to the Sentence Division. If someone comes, they will promise that Feng and his maid will be taken to the Sentence Division for strict interrogation."

Xia Dongchun was still sobbing as she watched the two of them being pulled down.

"Your Majesty, Fu promised that it was my concubine who introduced me. If something like this happened, it was my concubine who failed in her duty. Let me leave this matter to my concubine for trial." The queen requested.

"Yeah." This was Yun.

The emperor looked calm and left with Xia Dongchun to visit the prince and princess in Yanxi Palace.

Everyone also dispersed.

Back at Yanxi Palace, the two babies had just finished eating and were sleeping soundly. Wang Shunyi was waiting for her return to life. In order to ensure that nothing happened, Xia Dongchun asked the emperor to let Dr. Wang stay for one more hour, and the emperor naturally refused.

The two returned to the inner room, Xia Dongchun still had tears in her eyes and lingering fear in her heart. Yong Zheng saw her frightened and hugged her into his arms.

"It's okay. Don't cry anymore. Our child is fine."

"I know that as long as the emperor is here, everything will be fine. But I am just afraid. If it happens today... if it happens..."

"Okay, today's matter, after the queen's trial results, I will definitely deal with it severely. If she dares to murder the emperor's heir, I want to see how many heads she has."
