The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 380 Mushrooms

Rong Yue asked sharply, and Lian Xinhua's face turned pale with fright, she knelt down and begged for forgiveness, covering her red cheeks: "My lord, forgive me, I don't know why this is so! But... But the person sent clearly said that he died gone, this"

"Trash! He is the Imperial Physician, so what's the problem if he wants to hold his breath and feign death? Wouldn't there be two more holes in his body?"

Rong Yue flicked her sleeves, afraid of waking up the emperor, so she lowered her voice and said angrily: "It's all for him to live, and tell me, whoever found the mushrooms, can they clean them up?"

Lian Xin nodded again and again, and said: "Don't worry, ma'am, that man has no way out, it's just a matter of wiping his neck, how can he survive?"

Rong Yue frowned and shook her head, then raised her hand and ordered her to back down.

As soon as he left, he sat on the warm seat and opened a cup of tea. Before he could drink it, he heard a commotion in the emperor's bedroom. Before Rong Yue could react, he entered the main hall. Asked: "The noble concubine's face is full of sorrow, but what's on her mind?"

Rong Yue suddenly laughed, shook her head and said: "The emperor is overthinking, the concubine is just sleepy and tired, and just got up to drink a cup of tea." Then she glanced out of the window and asked: "It's still early, isn't the emperor okay?" Take a rest?"

The emperor waved his hand, straightened his clothes and said: "There is still something to do in the previous dynasty, I will come to see you again in the evening."

When the words fell, the people left straight away.

In Rong Yue's independent palace, her mood was filled with rage, and suddenly she slapped the desk hard, and said to herself angrily: "Concubine Wan! Don't push yourself too hard! My palace tolerates you because I want you to remember my good son. If you If you don't know the depth, don't blame Ben Gong for being ruthless!"

The news of Bai Changqing's return to the palace soon spread to Changchun Palace, so Wanyu ordered Yunchan to go to the imperial hospital early in the morning to see how he was doing.

It was sunset when Yun Chan visited and returned to the palace, and she said to Wanyu with a happy face: "Emperor Bai is not afraid, after dinner, he will come to ask the empress for peace. There is something that the imperial physician wants the servant to pass on to the empress. I was thinking, if it is convenient for the empress, can I get the recipe of the meal passed down from the imperial dining room to the prince."

"Meal recipe?" Wan Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Why do you want that thing?"

"Your servant doesn't know, it's just that the doctor Bai said so, and my servant naturally has his reasons for thinking."

The servant ordered to go down, and Li Yin had to inquire many times, and finally found the rubbings of the meals used by the prince after nightfall.

At the same time, Bai Changqing also entered the palace. Seeing his pale complexion, Wanyu wanted to greet him with blessings, so she hurriedly ordered Yunchan to help him out of the ceremony: "You still have injuries on your body, so you don't need to be formal when you see me." .”

Bai Changqing thanked him again and again, and then took a closer look at the recipe from Li Yin.

Not long after, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly sighed: "It really is."

"What's the matter?" Wanyu was surprised, got up and read the recipe: "But what's wrong?"

Bai Changqing handed the recipe to Yun Chan, and then bowed his hands: "Madam, I searched the suburbs of Beijing, and found the source of the pox in a village forty miles away. Most of the villagers in that village are suffering from pox. In order to prevent the epidemic from spreading to the capital and harming more people, Master Tu ordered the village to be closed."

He frowned slightly as he said, probably because the wound on his chest hadn't healed yet, he breathed a sigh of relief before continuing, "That village is rich in mushrooms, and there are countless varieties of mushrooms. And this incident happened here Before, most of the mushrooms eaten in the capital were supplied by them. After this happened, the officials inquired in various ways, and found out that during the pox epidemic, outsiders did come to the village to pick mushrooms. Just now I saw that the prince was sick On the eve of the meal, there was lily needles in cold sauce on the menu, which the prince always likes to eat, and this minister felt that it was inappropriate."

"Although these things are put before the prince's dining table, the inner eunuch who has watched the meal has to test and try them one by one to ensure that they are not poisonous before the prince can eat them. But the disease is different from poison, how can it be detected by silver needles? Even if the inner eunuch is infected with the disease from the food eaten, it will take time for the disease to show up. If you think about it carefully, if the golden needle is infected with the disease, the disaster will come from the mouth, and the crown prince will naturally get sick. It is not difficult to explain why after the crown prince fell ill, even the inner eunuch who passed on the food also became ill. Everyone said that the inner eunuch passed the illness on to the prince, but judging by my humble minister, it seems that the eunuch was eaten The people on the prince's diet are sick together, so where did someone come to give someone a sickness?"

After hearing Bai Changqing's words, Wanyu felt the air around her suddenly condensed, and shivered unknowingly.

How can such thoughts be vicious?Straight to the prince's death!

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a hiss from Bai Changqing's mouth, and fixed her eyes on the blood spilling out of her chest, she hurriedly said, "Why is it such a serious injury? Has the wound not healed after so many days of cultivation?"

Seeing his face in pain, she hurriedly ordered Yunchan to take a low chair and let him sit down: "How did you get assassinated?"

Bai Changqing slowed down for a moment before his expression improved a little: "Your Majesty is concerned, that day I left the village after my search, and before I had traveled ten miles, I was stopped by three masked men on the way back to the capital. Everyone has kung fu in their bodies, and they grabbed Wei Chen without losing any strength, and immediately there was a dagger in front of his chest. Fortunately, Wei Chen moved a little when the dagger was stabbing, which made the angle of penetration into the body deviate, avoiding the attack. Only by breaking the ventricle can he save his life."

"Thinking about the menacing people coming, I will never give up if I don't die, I have no choice but to hold my breath and pretend to be dead, to escape the catastrophe. The three dragged the minister to a small forest, and then went. Wait for others to go After a while, Wei Chen lost too much blood, so he hurriedly found some herbs to stop the bleeding and applied it on the wound, but in the end he lost too much blood, and he passed out before he even got out of the woods."

As he said, he bowed to Wanyu with gratitude on his face: "If it wasn't for the empress who sent Master Wu Lu to patrol, I'm afraid I will have to explain where the fate of this humble minister is."

Wanyu sighed helplessly, and said a little apologetically, "After all, I am the one who harmed you."

"Ma'am, there is one more thing." Bai Changqing gritted his teeth, and said with pain: "When those three people were dragging my minister into the grove, I heard them discussing that this life can be exchanged for ten in the hands of the people above. Two gold pieces is an excellent deal. Then, someone mentioned a name."

Wan Yu was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "Who is it?"

Bai Changqing said: "Lian Xin."

It really was her, it really was Rong Yue!

A sense of dizziness suddenly hit, Wan Yu had a headache, and said helplessly: "I don't want to believe that this thing was done by her. From this point of view, the death of the prince, Wen Yin's death, she took off her clothes." It doesn't matter."

Bai Changqing was silent for a moment, faltering and hawing as if he still had something to say, but he hesitated a lot.

Seeing him like this, Yun Chan had the intention of hating him for his indisputability: "What else is going on, let's make it clear to the empress! Since that person wants to take your life, do you still have to hide it for her?"
