Chapter 246 The Evidence Is Solid
Imperial Physician Zhu is more than seventy years old. He used to serve the late emperor, and now he serves the emperor. The entire imperial hospital is a disciple of Imperial Physician Zhu. The emperor treated him with courtesy. Sometimes he had a headache and the emperor refused to drink bitter medicine. Imperial Physician Zhu came After saying a few words, the emperor gritted his teeth and drank.

This Imperial Physician Zhu has been in the palace for many years, and he has never seen anything. Musk alone has passed through his hands more than once. He said he has experience, and indeed he has.

The reason Concubine Lu was so nervous was because Imperial Doctor Zhu had seen her musk before. If he saw it, wouldn't he recognize it right away?

Concubine Lu's tense palms were full of sweat, but it didn't help. The emperor called the imperial physician here just to check. Now that the imperial physician Zhu came here, he felt more at ease. There has been a precedent for the imperial hospital being bought. This Imperial Physician Zhu will never be bribed.

"Mr. Zhu, Musk is over there, take a closer look."

"The old minister obeys the order." Zhu Taiyi took the musk wrapped in layers of cloth from the guards, and frowned slightly. Perhaps because it had been in the soil for too long, the cloth was already rotten, and it was sticky to the touch. Nausea, when Dr. Zhu uncovered the fabric, suddenly a thick musk hit. Dr. Zhu frowned even more. He took a little bit, crushed it with his fingertips, and smelled it again close to his nose.

Those who are closer to Imperial Physician Zhu can smell this strange fragrance. It is conceivable how strong the smell of musk is. The stronger the fragrance, the more poisonous it is to pregnant people. Everyone can't help but look at Concubine Lu, Especially those who have had a tire slip before, they are suspicious in their hearts.

Doctor Zhu rewrapped the musk, handed it to the guard, and motioned him to take it outside and wait outside, lest the empress in the room smell too much and make any mistakes.

Doctor Zhu specially asked the emperor for water, washed his hands before returning to the lobby, shaking his head and sighing at the emperor and queen.

The queen asked: "Doctor Zhu, what's the matter? You said it!"

"Returning to the empress, this musk is an extremely rare horse musk deer. It is more effective in poisoning when used on pregnant women, and there is also a medicine in this musk."

The emperor frowned and shouted, "What medicine!"

"If you go back to the emperor, the musk is also mixed with garlic. The same thing was said to the emperor many years ago."

"Many years ago?" The emperor's heart skipped a beat, he subconsciously searched among the concubines, and finally stopped his gaze on Xi's face.

The queen also seemed to have just remembered, nodded and said: "When the doctor Zhu said so, the concubine also remembered, the emperor..." There are some words, the queen will naturally not say everything, and the emperor will understand up.

"The queen wants to talk about Xipin." Looking at Xipin, the emperor couldn't help feeling mixed feelings, and instantly recalled all the things that happened when he was with Xipin. There is a gleam of light, as if she has spirituality, which makes people's hearts move, but looking at it now, that smear of spirituality has been restrained and disappeared. Thinking about it, her sharpness has been wiped out over the years.

Now that Concubine Xi was mentioned, Concubine Xi had no reason to continue standing there, she took a step forward and kowtowed: "My concubine pays my respects to the Emperor."

"Well, get up and talk."

"Chen and concubine dare not."

The emperor frowned: "I told you to get up, why don't you dare!"

Concubine Xi raised her eyes, her eye sockets turned red instantly, and tears fell. It seemed that she had suffered a lot of grievances. Although Concubine Xi had given birth to a daughter, she had not been favored for many years. What was saved in maintenance, even though she did not have the bright and charming face when she was favored, now she definitely still has the charm and elegant temperament.

The first time he saw the scene of her holding back tears, the emperor felt his heart skip a beat. Looking at it again, Concubine Xi had already lowered her head, as if she had already gotten used to such humbleness.

"Concubine Xi, raise your head."

"No." Concubine Xi replied in a soft voice, tears streaming down her face when she raised her head, making people feel unbearable.

The emperor's expression also changed slightly, and he asked softly: "Tell me, why don't you dare?"

"The concubine is worried that in the end, this matter will involve the concubine again. The concubine has been adhering to her duty all these years and has never dared to go beyond it. It is for the sake of being wise, for the concubine herself, and even more for Ming Yuan."

"What are you talking about! You are my concubine, Ming Yuan is my daughter, who else would dare to bully you?"

Concubine Xi didn't reply, she was obviously telling the emperor that there were really many people who bullied their mother and daughter these years.

Feeling guilty, the emperor was naturally partial to Concubine Xi, and said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one dares to wrong you, stand up and speak up!"

"No." Only then did Concubine Xi dare to get up, and stood next to Concubine Lu with her head down. One was standing and the other was kneeling, but she could still clearly feel that Concubine Xi was even more humble. As far as I know, Concubine Lu probably bullied Concubine Xi more than once on weekdays.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Lu coldly, looked at Imperial Physician Zhu and asked, "Princess Zhu, please make your words clear."

"The old minister obeys the order." The imperial physician Zhu cupped his hands and said, "As the emperor said just now, many years ago, on the day Princess Ming Yuan was born, I checked the musk once, because the emperor was so anxious about the musk smell that he stayed in bed for several days afterwards. Day, so the old minister remembers very clearly that this musk was found in the bedroom of the maid of honor of the concubine Xi. The old minister remembered that the fragrance was exactly the same as this. I can’t find another musk like this.”

"Your Majesty, I still remember this. At that time, I also asked, is it really so rare? Doctor Zhu said that it would take at least several years to refine this kind of musk, and it might not be successful. Very rare."

"Well, I remember that too." The emperor looked at Imperial Physician Zhu: "Then according to Imperial Physician Zhu, who is the owner of this musk?"

"I don't know if the emperor still has the impression. Although the musk that I found at Xipin's place was not small, it was only as big as a walnut. This one is as big as a man's fist. It is clear who the musk belongs to."

Doctor Zhu spoke so loudly that everyone was shocked. Concubine Lu said that this matter had nothing to do with her before, but now she slapped herself severely, but she didn't know what else she could say in front of the emperor!
The emperor couldn't believe it, and asked again: "Doctor Zhu means that the musk belongs to Concubine Lu?"

Imperial Physician Zhu bowed and said: "The old minister only speaks what is in his duty. It is up to the emperor to decide which is right and which is wrong. The old minister dare not say anything."

Seeing that the emperor's expression was not right, the queen quickly gave him comfort: "Your majesty, the dragon body is important!"

The emperor was trembling with anger, and roared, "Come on!"
