Chapter 414

Concubine Qiu narrowed her eyes and scanned around. The concubines are already here, apart from this group of people, there is no one else, but who is it?
She was very interested, who is so stupid to choose to act at this juncture?It's downright life-threatening!
The concubines also look at me and I look at you, everyone has thoughts in their hearts.

The emperor was furious, and what angered him the most was that the person who poisoned him was so vicious that he was used by him, it was so audacious!
The queen said that she meant to murder the emperor, but the emperor knew in his heart that murdering him would not be enough. The poisonous thing is that even if they are in the same room, only women can be poisoned, and the poison is usually not harmful to the human body. There is no harm, but when men and women are happy, if a woman is emotional, she will be poisoned.

According to the imperial physician, this kind of poison is quite common among the people, especially in wealthy families. If there are too many concubines, it is inevitable that there will be one or two with evil intentions. This kind of poison is just used to make men misunderstand women and neglect women. .

Generally speaking, the toxicity will not be very strong, at most it will cause nausea and slight vomiting in women, because the toxicity will only occur under special circumstances, and it will often make men think that it is women who dislike men, just like the emperor at the beginning. I thought so too.

There is no man in the world who can bear this kind of insulting dislike, and he will naturally become more and more indifferent to women, and the purpose of the poisoner will be achieved.

It is conceivable how vicious the poisoner is. In order to fight for favor, he actually used such indecent means, which is not done by a gentleman. This time, the emperor excluded the most suspicious Concubine Qiu.

Concubine Qiu has done many things to murder concubines due to jealousy, he also knows some of them, but she will either not harm her, or if she is critical, Hongluan is probably not just vomiting, she is probably already dead. Concubine Qiu would never use such indiscriminate means. To her, it was too insipid, and cutting grass had to be done by root.

It is even more impossible for the queen, she is smart and sensible, Hongluan is just Zhaoyi, and will not threaten her status.

As for the others, very likely.

What the poisoner didn't expect was that Hongluan's body was weak, and because she hadn't been in Wucheng for a long time, she was a little unaccustomed to the environment, so her poisoning reaction was much more serious than that of ordinary women. Not only did she vomit severely, but she also vomited blood. , he realized on the spot that the situation was not good, and asked the imperial doctor to come over to have a look, only to realize that he had been poisoned by such a poison.

The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became. He was just pampering a woman. It's only been a few days, and even when he was about to return to the capital, some people couldn't help but did something, and they didn't pay attention to him!
"Queen, how do you think this matter should be investigated?"

The queen blessed her body and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder what the imperial physician said?"

"The imperial doctor said that this kind of poison is not uncommon, but the problem is that it is difficult to find the root of this poison. This kind of poison can be placed in any place, such as in a flowerpot, under the bed, or in the crack of a door. Here, the biggest problem is that the poison will dissipate quickly, so even if you find the place where the poison once died, it is difficult to be sure that the poison has been here."

"That is to say, now the poison has disappeared without a trace, so there is no way to explore it?"

"Ah."

The queen frowned: "That being said, it's a bit tricky." After a pause, the queen said, "But it's not that there are other ways."

"Oh? Listen to what the queen said."

"For things like poisoning, even if you can't find any trace of the poison, there must always be someone who poisoned it. Although there are many people in the palace these days, there are only a few people coming in and out. Find traces in it."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "The empress is right. Recently, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace at will. There are not a few guards sent by me, so the people who poisoned must be the people in this palace. After following Xu Zhaoyi for a short time, I am afraid that the loyalty is not strong, so I will follow the queen's wishes, but everyone in this palace, whether it is a guard or a servant, must be questioned one by one." After speaking, the emperor ordered: "De'an, you handle this matter. No matter what method you use, I will pry their mouths open."

De'an hesitated, but he still took the order.

Concubine Qiu snorted: "Your Majesty, isn't this ostentation too much? There are not many people in this palace, but the Emperor's favor is great. Add up and down, there are forty or fifty people. So many people They must be strictly investigated, the person who poisoned must be lucky in his heart, and he will be safe if he survives, but pity the other innocent people, who have to be blamed for no reason, why are they guilty?"

"The lax guard and ineffective protection of the Lord are all their fault."

"What the emperor said is true, but after all, this incident happened here. For them, everyone is their own people. They have a strong sense of precaution against outsiders, but it is not necessarily true for their own people. After all, these are all assigned by the emperor himself. Yes, if you don’t trust the people around you, you don’t trust your majesty.”

The emperor frowned in displeasure: "According to Concubine Qiu's intention, the biggest fault in this matter is me!"

"Xu Zhaoyi was brought into the palace by the emperor, it is not the emperor's fault that the emperor has not protected her well now."

"Concubine!"

"Why are you so anxious, Your Majesty? The concubine just thinks that these people are innocent. If you give this order, you will inevitably be tortured and served. Isn't this chilling?"

"Then according to the meaning of the noble concubine, how should we deal with it?"

Concubine Qiu curled her lips: "Your Majesty, my ministers and concubines are stupid, there is no better way, but to fight for those innocent people. As a monarch, your majesty, whether it is the servants and maids in the palace or the common people outside the palace, are all your sons and daughters." People, how can you make your people feel cold?"

The emperor's brows were tightly frowned, obviously a little bit hard to get off, on the one hand, the real culprit must be found, otherwise no one knows if she will strike a second time, or if the second strike will just make Xu Zhaoyi vomit so much It's simple, the most important thing is, if this matter is not investigated clearly, where is his majesty as an emperor?If he can't even protect the woman he likes, then what's the point of being an emperor!
According to the queen's intentions, it is indeed possible to find the poisoner most effectively, but what Concubine Qiu said is not unreasonable. If he directly gets the result he wants through torture, even though the murderer has been found. , but aren't those innocent people who have been tortured for no reason too chilling?If this matter gets out, what will the people think in their hearts!
The emperor glanced around, but he didn't see anyone who could give him advice, and his face became more and more ugly.
