The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 591 Suicide
Luluo's words are naturally one-sided, but Yinzhen can be fooled so easily by her, so regardless of whether she was really wronged or told a lie, Yinzhen personally ordered her to be detained, waiting for Wei Changan to interrogate in person.

Luluo's face turned pale with fright, and the words Aunt Qi Qiao said to her kept echoing in her mind: Be quick with your hands and feet, nothing will happen, nothing will happen...

Su Pei spread rumors that the imperial physician Jiang Yu had come, and that the imperial physician Jiang Yu was skilled in medicine and tight-lipped, so it would be best to ask him to treat the imperial concubine.

Yanhua endured all the way, and the effect of the medicine had already gone away by half.She was tortured by the medicine until she was covered in sweat, and her obscene clothes were already soaked.Shaoyao asked Yinzhen for permission, and changed Yanhua's clothes before the imperial physician came, but when Jiang Yu came over, her newly changed underwear was already drenched with sweat.

Bearing the discomfort in his body, Yinzhen touched her lower lip bitten by himself, and her eyes hurt like needles.It's been a long time since he let her suffer such a crime, and he only wished to cut the person who drugged her to death.

When he touched her face, she couldn't help trembling slightly.

When Jiang Yu rushed over, out of etiquette, he couldn't see Yanhua up close.He asked Shao Yao to wipe the sweat from Yan Hua's body with a dry handkerchief, and after smelling it, he took the pulse on her wrist through the handkerchief.

Aphrodisiac drugs generally have a smell, because the person who takes it sweats quickly, so the sweat stains will be contaminated with the smell of aphrodisiac drugs.In fact, after he smelled the veil just now, he knew what kind of medicine she had taken, but he didn't dare to say it out.

The medicine was used privately by the eunuchs and maids in the palace to quench their hunger and thirst.I'm afraid that those concubines in the harem who are not allowed to sleep all year round will have this medicine in their possession. Since ancient times, this thing is not uncommon, and the palace people in the previous dynasty may have used it even more crazily.

"Your Majesty, it's just a general... Acacia medicine, it's just that the dosage is a little too strong, that's why the empress is like this..." Yanhua just uttered two unbearable soft moans, his ears turned red, and he quickly backed out.

"How to solve it?"

Jiang Yu saw that the emperor was about to swallow people, but he didn't dare to say that being with him could relieve his pain. After all, the world knew this method, and the emperor naturally knew it too.So he had to say another way: "If you let the empress take a cold bath, it can relieve the discomfort of the empress. However, it is already autumn, and the cold water is easy to be invaded by the cold air and catch the cold, so I can always use a cold handkerchief for the empress. Wipe your body..."

"Is there no prescription? Will it affect her body?" Yin Zhen frowned, dissatisfied with this.

"Going back to the emperor, I'm afraid it's been a long time since your majesty has taken this medicine. It's too late to take the medicine and cook it now. Maybe when the medicine is ready, the effect of the medicine on your majesty has already passed. I just let someone feed it to your majesty." Taking two pills of Meditation Medicine Bowl should provide some relief. But the most urgent thing is to relieve the discomfort in the empress's body first, lest the empress hurt herself again. After the effect of this medicine wears off, it will be harmless to the body. However, if Taking too much will cause the person who takes it to lose too much energy, and if you take it too often, men are prone to kidney deficiency, while women are prone to yin deficiency..."

Yinzhen was so angry that he snorted several times, interrupted his words, and walked into Dongnuan Pavilion with his hands.

Just when Jiang Yu didn't know whether he should step back, Yinzhen came out again: "Where can I get this kind of medicine?"

Jiang Yu hurriedly kowtowed again, and said, "Return to the emperor, this medicine is an ordinary aphrodisiac, and you can buy it in the market."

"How can such filthy things be found in the streets and alleys? Su Peisheng, pass on my decree that this kind of medicine should not be circulated in the market. Let the cabinet draft an decree and send it to various post stations to announce it to the world."

"Your Majesty, this..." Concubine Yu was shocked when she heard this.Such an announcement to the world, there will always be people who will guess why the emperor issued such an imperial decree, I am afraid that someone will tell about the fact that Concubine Xi has been poisoned by this medicine, wouldn't it shame her, what will happen to her in the future To see people!

Seeing the worry on her face, Yinzhen calmed down immediately, and hurriedly called Su Peisheng back: "Su Peisheng, take your time, wait until I personally issue an order tomorrow. Wei Changan, go to the funeral palace, and I will serve you there The palace servants searched one by one! Don’t alarm others, don’t let this matter leak even half of it, if you leak half of it, I will decapitate you!”

Wei Changan replied in a deep voice, this matter is no small matter, he will naturally keep it secret.Even if the emperor didn't say that, he would send someone to find out the person who gave the medicine.

When Yinzhen entered again, Yanhua had already woken up.She was so ashamed and angry, and her body was so uncomfortable that she even pulled out a hairpin and tied it on her arm.

Yinzhen was shocked, and hurried forward to snatch it: "Go out, let Su Peisheng send everyone out."

Concubine Yu knew that this matter was of great importance, so she sent everyone out when she reported the matter, and Shao Yao was the only one serving in Dong Nuan Pavilion.Although Yanhua was a victim, it was a fact that she couldn't bear to make such a shameful voice in front of others. If someone heard it, who knew what it would be like.

Shao Yao hesitated for a while, then bowed and retreated.

Just now, after hearing Jiang Yu say that it was an ordinary aphrodisiac, Yinzhen's heart was more than half at ease.That being the case, he just made her feel better.

Yanhua was already out of breath from crying, she had a lot of tears and snot, she didn't need to look in the mirror to know how embarrassed she was at this moment.When she saw Yinzhen undo the buttons on her skirt, she immediately knew what he was going to do, but she didn't have the strength to break free, and every time he touched her, she couldn't help but sigh comfortably.At this time, she didn't have any sense at all, if he touched her, she would be defeated.

He had been cautious all the time, but she suddenly gained strength and became Meng Lang's initiative. In the end, it took more than half an hour for this love affair to end.

Because of the unhealed wind and cold, Yinzhen was exhausted after tossing and tossing for so long. Once the incident was over, he hugged Yanhua together and fell asleep profusely with sweat.This matter was too crazy. Since he was sensible, he never expected that one day he would lose to that aphrodisiac, nor did he expect that he would exhaust himself like this for a woman.He thought that in the next few days, he would never invite anyone to sleep with him again...

Luluo was terribly afraid of dying, so naturally she didn't dare to tell the truth. The strange thing was that when she was about to die, the lies in her mind were surprisingly clear.She still repeated the confession she made before the emperor, and now she is much calmer than before.

Because Wei Chang'an didn't have time to talk to her in detail, seeing that she was still saying the same thing, he hurriedly took people to the funeral palace, where he should be arrested and searched.He has always been cautious in doing things. After arriving at the funeral palace, he also searched the eunuchs and maids in the funeral palace one by one on the grounds that someone had stolen something from the palace.

Finally, he found the paper containing the aphrodisiac on a little palace maid.When the little maid was arrested, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly, her eyes were filled with panic and fear besides bewilderment.

He had no way of knowing who the eunuch Luluo was talking about, so he asked people to write down the names of all the eunuchs and maids in the funeral palace, and only waited for a slow investigation in the future.Because this was the funeral palace of Empress Daxing, he was not allowed to interrogate one by one arbitrarily, so in the end he only escorted the little palace lady back to the palace.

While Wei Chang'an was still interrogating Luluo and the little maid, an old maid who worked in the long room north of the Forbidden City committed suicide.That person, it was Qi Qiao, who was in her thirties, died directly in the room where she slept at night, on the bed.

When the eunuch in the Punishment Department went to investigate, they found a small half bag of strange powder from Qiqiao's house.A little eunuch dabbed a little on his hand recklessly, and then tasted it on his tongue.The powder was slightly green, with a hint of bitterness, and no other taste.

"Bah, bah, isn't this flour?" The little eunuch was only about ten years old, and after taking a bite, he spit a few times.

The other eunuch was shocked, quickly took the thing from his hand, and slammed his forehead: "You boy, you are going to die! Didn't you have enough to eat? How can you chew on everything!"

Facts have proved that the little eunuch really wanted to die.After he returned to the Punishment Department, his complexion was gloomy, his stomach ached, his tongue was full of bitterness, and he couldn't eat anything.

This incident was originally just an ordinary court lady's suicide. After the Ministry of Internal Affairs tracked down the family background of the court lady, it planned to punish her family as it should.

But after Wei Chang'an interrogated the little maid, she didn't know anything.Wei Changan had a sharp eye, and naturally suspected that the little maid had nothing to do with the drug administration, so she turned to interrogate Luluo again.

Lu Luo was very organized, and her confession was as if she had memorized it, which made Wei Changan suspicious.

Anyone who is afraid of death like Luluo cannot stand torture.At first Wei Chang'an thought she was a woman, so he didn't use torture, but seeing her clenched her mouth tightly, in the end, he couldn't care less about her, and directly whipped her up.

But after two cups of tea, she couldn't take it anymore and confessed to Qiqiao.But for other things, she never dared to confess again. She was afraid that if she said a few more words, she might die without a whole body: "My lord, please forgive my life... My lord, this slave is also forced... Please read it before the slave confesses." For my aunt's sake, please spare the life of this servant..."

Wei Changan looked at her with a straight face for a while, then asked her expressionlessly: "You stuffed that paper on another person, what other accomplices do you have?"

Luluo's cry faltered, and she swallowed her saliva in fear: "My lord... I beg you to spare the life of this servant, this servant...willingly do anything, this servant will definitely serve you comfortably..."

"Bang!" Wei Changan mercilessly swung the whip again. This time, he didn't deliberately avoid her face, and directly drew a bloodstain on her little face with the whip.

"Ah!" Luluo rolled her eyes and fainted from the pain.

Wei Changan dropped the braid in his hand, and went out with a straight face as if he had been insulted.After he went to the House of Internal Affairs to investigate, he found out that the court lady named Qiqiao was dead.Could it be that he committed suicide in fear of crime?

When Mrs. Du saw Wei Changan running to the Changfang to search Qiqiao's house in person, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes, and she cursed secretly: "Idiot! Damn it!"
