The concubine is so charming

Chapter 87 A Pot of Dirty Water

The palace people were about to step forward, when there was a commotion at the gate of the palace, and then Yufu, covered in blood, stumbled in.

The servant guarding the door hastily stretched out his hand to stop him.

Yufu was pulled to the ground, raised her head to look in Su Yao's direction, and cried loudly: "Miss, are you alright, did those people do anything to you? Your Majesty, our lady has been wronged, I beg you to make the decision!"

"what happened?"

Su Yao turned her head and saw Yufu and couldn't help but wanted to get up to help her, but she couldn't even stand up.

"Your Majesty, this servant is Yufu, the court lady next to Miss Mu. Our lady has been wronged. Your majesty is wise. I beg you to listen to what this servant has to say!"

The emperor thought about what Su Yao said before that the maid beside him was seriously injured, and then looked at Yufu who had a wound on her head and blood on her body, and his face became more gloomy: "Let her in!"

"Yes."

Yufu scrambled in, threw herself directly beside Su Yao, and hugged her tightly with both hands: "Your Majesty, our young lady is ill, and she suddenly became ill at night. So she has been resting all the time. I don't know what happened, but those people ignored Miss's body and directly dragged her down the steps! Your Majesty..."

Liu Guiren, who rushed over to visit, sneered, "Don't be so pitiful. If everyone can escape the crime by saying a few pitiful words, then the Ministry of Criminal Justice will judge the case by what evidence and law. Wouldn't it be better to be more pitiful? Your majesty, the empress has a rash all over her body, and now she is in unbearable pain, isn't she even more pitiful, you must help her find the real culprit and punish her severely."

The servant handed the small cloth bag found in Lan Cuixuan to the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor examined it carefully for a while: "Report to the emperor, this small cloth bag is indeed poisonous powder..."

Hearing this, Liu Guiren smiled coldly: "Your Majesty, look, this Mu Ninghua is really courageous, even hiding poison in the palace!"

Su Yao wanted to open his mouth to explain, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak a word.

Yufu on the side quickly said: "Your Majesty, that thing is not from Lan Cui Xuan at all, please enlighten me!"

"What a cunning girl, she dares to quibble with the evidence in front of her. Your Majesty, according to my concubine, it seems that she is so good at soliciting words. She may cause many troubles in the harem in the future. Why don't you just drag her down and kill her?" .”

Su Yao raised his hand to cover his chest, his already pale face was almost translucent, and his usually beautiful eyes were smudged with water: "Your majesty...my minister...my daughter is innocent...Yufu is only eager to protect the lord. , she did nothing wrong..."

Yufu knelt up straight, kowtowed three times to the emperor, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, every word of this servant is true. The emperor's eyes are as bright as a torch, and he can see clearly, so he can definitely find out the truth. It doesn't matter if you die with a stick, but our lady is innocent, look at her, what she looks like now!"

The emperor took a closer look, but saw that Su Yao was holding on to the clothes on his chest tightly, looking like he couldn't breathe, he quickly turned his head to greet the imperial physician: "Go and take Mu Ninghua's pulse, and see what's wrong?"

She is the daughter of King Rong, so she can't have such an accident.

Liu Guiren glanced at Concubine Zhen, but did not get any response from the other party, so he lowered his head slightly and frowned.

After the imperial physician checked Su Yao's pulse, he checked Su Yao's eyes again, and couldn't help taking a deep breath: "Your Majesty, Miss Mu is poisoned. If the diagnosis is correct, it should be the poison of the daphnia flower."

"Poisoned?" The emperor's face was as deep as water, and his voice was utterly cold. The imperial palace was his home. If poisons were rampant here, he would have to think about everything he ate. What safety could there be?This matter must not be easily let go.

And the imperial doctor who was in charge of checking the cloth bag brought up by the servant also quickly said: "Reporting to the emperor, I just checked it carefully. The cloth bag has been washed by rain, and there is not much medicine powder left in it, but I can be sure that it is indeed foreign. Golden flower powder..."

"Does Yang Jinhua cause rashes?" the emperor asked with a frown.

"Durasia is highly toxic and can cause flushing, weakness, and persistent high fever, but it doesn't cause rashes."

Concubine Zhen's eyes moved sharply, she raised her eyes to look at Su Yao who was on the ground, and hurriedly directed the maids beside her: "Can the poison of daguna flower be cured?"

"Reporting to Concubine Zhen, the poison is not difficult to cure, but it requires two kinds of medicines with conflicting properties. It is enough to take them to dissolve the effects of the medicines, but people have to suffer more."

"Then hurry up and help detoxify, I see Miss Mu's appearance, it seems that she is very uncomfortable." Concubine Zhen's attitude is still cold and indifferent, but a trace of concern can be heard in her voice, letting people know that she is not completely indifferent.

The imperial physician hurried down to prepare the medicinal materials.

Concubine Zhen told the maid next to her: "Didn't you see that Miss Mu was soaking wet and kneeling on the ground? Why don't you hurry up and bring her down to change with clean clothes, and this maid Yufu, who is loyal to protect the lord, is indeed That’s right, take her down to change clothes, the weather is still cold at night, so don’t catch a cold.”

Hearing this, the emperor's expression softened for a moment: "My concubine is feeling unwell, so I can leave these matters to others, please sit down and rest for a while."

Su Yao was changed into clothes in a daze, and drank the soup prepared by the imperial physician, and suddenly felt her chest was overwhelmed, as if two dragons were fighting, and she couldn't help clutching her chest and retching.

After tossing and tossing for a full half an hour, Su Yao finally felt a little more conscious, and then ignored Yufu's obstruction, and directly knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, today's incident is obviously deliberately framed by someone, so please invite the Emperor to be your minister." The woman is in charge."

Liu Guiren couldn't help saying: "Miss Mu, don't talk nonsense. If you are kind to others, who is this good-natured person who framed you for what?"

Su Yao raised his eyes and looked over coldly: "Then according to what the nobleman said, Concubine Zhen was also persecuted and got rashes all over her body. Could it be because she is not kind to others?"

Liu Guiren's complexion changed suddenly, he hurriedly plopped, and knelt down facing the emperor: "The concubine didn't mean that, please ask the emperor to learn from you."

The emperor ignored it, and frowned even tighter.

At this moment, a notification came from the gate of the palace: "The Empress Dowager is here!"

The emperor got up to greet him: "It's raining and the road is slippery. Why is the Queen Mother here now?"

"The palace people searched everywhere, causing the whole harem to be noisy. Ai's family was really worried, so they came to see, is the emperor safe and sound?"

"You are worried about the empress dowager, everything is fine with me."

The Empress Dowager turned her head to look at Concubine Zhen, a sharp look flashed in her eyes: "Concubine Zhen, there is no queen in the harem, Concubine Lan Gui is not in good health, and she only eats fast and chant Buddha in the palace. Although you are a concubine, you are an example of the sixth palace. Don’t you know how to deal with such a big incident in the palace?”

Concubine Zhen hurriedly knelt down: "It's my concubine's fault, please punish the Queen Mother."
