The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 406 Heartbroken Grass ([-])
Seeing Wanyu's injury, the emperor finally tried to comfort her, but the tone of his words was cold.

Wu Zuo spread out his palm, and there was some white powder rolled up in a piece of white cloth on his palm. After making a circle around it so that everyone could see it clearly, Fang Xuxu said: "Your Majesty, these powders were found beside Fifth Elder Brother's pillow. Please ask the Emperor Xuan Tai Physician to come and verify what this thing is."

The emperor stood with his forehead supported and said nothing, but Rong Yue acted like a queen, and scolded Liang Jiugong to hurry up and find a court judge to prove it.

It was the night when Fu Zhuo was on duty, and he had been guarding Lin Lan's delivery in the side hall, so he rushed into Yinqi's sleeping hall within a short time.

When he took the powder wrapped in white cloth from Wu Zuo, he only had to smell it carefully for a moment, and said straightly: "Your Majesty, this thing is aconitum, which is what the folks often say is the same as the heartbroken grass. And aconitum is divided into Sichuan and Sichuan provinces." Aconitum and Aconitum, among them, Aconitum is more poisonous. This substance is obtained by steaming, crushing and purifying a large amount of Aconitum aconitum. It is quite poisonous. It only takes half a penny for the dosage, enough to kill a grown man. Look at this white cloth The content in it is more than half a penny, so it can be seen that the amount of medicine swallowed by the fifth elder brother is at least one penny! The poison of aconitum, the poisoner first feels numbness in the mouth, tongue and whole body, then nausea and vomiting, chest tightness and convulsions, and difficulty breathing. The body temperature drops, the mind is confused, or there is a slight bleeding, until the breathing is obstructed, and he becomes comatose to death."

The more detailed Fu Zhuo's description became, the more sorrowful the emperor's face became, until the words fell, the veins on the neck of the man were bulging, and his face was as red as burnt coals.

Wan Yu fixed her gaze on Rong Yue, and seeing tears streaming down her face, she felt her heart ache even more.

Yinti is only a one-year-old child, and to kill him by this method is just to frame himself. It is really useless to act like this!
Suddenly, Lin Lan's shrill cry of pain came from the side hall, pulling everyone's sorrowful mood back a little, the emperor was silent for a moment before saying: "How is De Concubine?"

Fu Zhuo clasped his hands together, sweating profusely and said: "Ms. De concubine was shocked suddenly, which caused the qi and blood to flow backwards. Now that the cervix is ​​not opened, it is very difficult to give birth. I am afraid that I will suffer a lot."

Hearing this, Wanyu immediately said to Shuangruo: "Concubine De attaches great importance to this child, and regards it as the treasure in her heart. You are an experienced old man, go and take care of her." After saying that, Taking a leisurely glance at the white cloth that Fu Zhuo placed aside, Shuang Ruo thought for a moment, then hurriedly bid farewell to the emperor and Rong Yue Fuli.

It took a while for people to leave the palace, but Rong Yue said in a sad voice: "Wan'er, you have always been cautious in doing things, how could fifth prince be poisoned by others in your palace?"

Wan Yu frowned at her, and said calmly: "What do you want to say, the imperial concubine?"

"Everyone in the palace knows that Changchun Palace is the most strictly forbidden place in the palace. If something like this happened in your palace, I'm afraid that some careless servant might have made a mistake."

"Your servant?" Wan Yu sneered at her, "Why does the imperial concubine think that at the fifth elder brother's age, he can offend the palace servants next to the concubine?"

Rong Yue glanced at her, then ignored her, and only looked softly at the emperor, saying sadly: "Your majesty, this matter is too weird. How can there be such a poison as heartbroken grass in such a beautiful palace? Wan'er is thoughtful, I'm afraid I have to search the palace."

When Wanyan heard this, she immediately became certain that this matter had something to do with Rong Yue.

But how did she poison Yinti?
Since the two had turned against each other, no one in her palace had entered the Changchun Palace again, so where did the poison come from?
After thinking for a while, Fang suddenly realized.

Apart from herself and Lin Lan, Nala Yuwen is the only person who has had close contact with Fifth Prince.

But she is Yinti's aunt and Nala Junruo's cousin, why is she like this?

Thinking about it, if she is to be used by Rong Yue, it must be Rong Yue who blackmails her with Yinti.

How confused!
Wanyu was heartbroken, and had no time to think about it, and when the emperor was about to speak, she retorted: "The fifth elder brother was poisoned. The imperial concubine is searching the palace at this time, but you want to implicate this matter on the concubine?"

Rong Yue sat upright, and said calmly: "Concubine Wan, don't get me wrong. This palace is doing this to prove your innocence, and no one will say anything about you after all. People find it suspicious."

Wan Yu said indifferently: "If the palace search fails to find poison, so what?"

Rong Yue said: "Fifth elder brother discovered the death for Concubine De, how do you know that the poison would not have been placed by Concubine De? Ever since she was pregnant, her behavior has been very surly, and she has repeatedly contradicted the court's rude law. It's something everyone in the palace is watching."

"Such words are really far-fetched."

"What's so far-fetched? The people in the palace have never acted rationally, let alone this harmful thing?"

"Enough!" The two argued for a while, causing the emperor to look unsure, and reprimanded him: "You two were the most harmonious in the past, how come you are like this now?"

The two stopped talking immediately, looking at each other a bit awkwardly.

Seeing that Wanyu was still kneeling, the emperor ordered her to stand up and take her seat.But before he could sit still, he heard the emperor say again: "Liang Jiugong, go take the imperial guards and search the Changchun Palace and Hegong, don't store any poison that hurts Concubine Wan."

Liang Jiugong took the order and retreated abruptly. At that time, no one in the hall spoke.

Because of the emperor's talented words, Wanyu's heart felt a bit chilled.

How is it that you are afraid that you will be hurt by poison?

It's just that she listened to Rong Yue's words and didn't fully believe in herself.

In fact, such a matter is a foregone conclusion, no matter what, Yinti died in his own palace, and the elder brother next to him has no hope of raising him under his knees.

Not long after, Liang Jiugong came in to report, he only searched inside and outside Changchun Palace, and found nothing wrong.

After he finished speaking, Wannai stared at Rongyue, and sure enough, she saw a bit of surprise on her face.

That subtle expression was fleeting, and turned into a long sigh, and said: "Those who want to poison must have used up all the poison on Fifth Elder Brother. You are really pitiful, little child."

Wan Yu was about to reply, but she saw Shuang Ruo standing in front of the door from the corner of her eye, so she had a plan and said loudly: "It's pitiful, the emperor should thoroughly investigate all those involved in this matter."

Hearing Wanyu's words, Rong Yue's face was surprised at first, and then she smiled happily: "I think it's the same, I don't know what the emperor means."

"I believe in Wan'er, and I also believe in Concubine De. The two of them absolutely can't do it, and there is no reason to do it." The emperor put one hand on his forehead, rubbed his temples, and said after a long while: "Forget it, let's investigate thoroughly and return Let the two of you be innocent."

"What the emperor said is true!" Wan Lai echoed, then glanced at Lian Xin who was standing beside Rong Yue and said, "If you want to return the innocence of your ministers and concubines, you should also return the innocence of your noble concubine, right?"

"A joke." Rong Yue frowned and said coldly, "What does this matter have to do with me?"
