The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 434 Mylabris ([-])

Wan Lai's poisonous hair happened about an hour after eating lunch.

At that time, the person's complexion was pale, he suffered from abdominal pain, was vomiting and diarrhea, and broke out in a profuse sweat, the pain was so painful that he couldn't speak a word.

How could Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo have expected such a serious symptom?Lost in fright, she hurried to ask Shen Ye to call the imperial physician.

When Shen Ye went to invite the imperial physician, he took the opportunity to inform the emperor about Wan Lai's poisoning.

Hearing this, the emperor put down the memorial he was reviewing, announced the sedan chair and rushed to Changchun Palace.

When Bai Changqing came here, he was consulting Wanyu, the emperor sat in the main hall, and asked Yunchan and Shuangruo angrily, "What's wrong with your mother?"

Yun Chan looked distressed, sobbing and murmured: "If you go back to the emperor, your majesty is fine during the day. After lunch, I wanted to take a nap, but suddenly I have a stomachache." She seemed very sad, covering her face. Weeping, unwilling to continue talking.

The emperor looked at the lunch that Wanlao had entered on the table, and seeing that it was just some cold vegetables without meat, and the staple food was also corn bread made of coarse grains, he immediately said angrily: "Is this how the imperial dining room sends Wanlao away?" ?”

After finishing the anger, he asked again: "Has it been tested to be non-toxic?"

Shuang Ruo replied: "The food brought by the imperial dining room is like this every day. The servants can't see it and occasionally scold them, but the empress has the best temper. Because she is restrained and doesn't want to cause trouble, she eats these things every day. The portion is not as good as the food, and the person has lost a lot of weight. And because the food is delivered by the father-in-law of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how can there be a reason to test it again? Could it be that the emperor doubts it."

Shuang Ruo was startled, took the silver hairpin from the drawer of the dressing table and inserted it into the dishes, when she took it out and saw that the hairpin was black, she was so frightened that she threw the hairpin far away, it just happened to land at the foot of the emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Shuang Ruo and Yun Chan kneeled and kowtowed together: "This is someone who wants to poison our empress, and someone who can't tolerate her!"

The emperor picked up the silver hairpin, stared at it for a while and threw it out of the hall: "It's unreasonable! First, the mother and her family who were delivering the baby for Yu Chang died tragically, and now the plan is on Wan'er! She really thought I was blind ?"

Yun Chan cried even louder, and kowtowed heavily to express her feelings: "Your Majesty, this is not the first time our mother has been murdered. The lady who lives in the side hall is often here, and the guards outside the Changchun Palace all know it. In a few days, many poisonous spiders were placed in the palace, and the poison-avoiding sachet in the main hall where the empress lived was tampered with and replaced with 'spider-grass'. Those poisonous spiders crawled all over the main hall. The empress was also almost killed by that spider!"

The emperor was shocked and said in amazement: "Why don't I know such a thing?"

Only then did Liang Jiugong cowardly whisper: "Your Majesty, the guards of Changchun Palace originally reported this matter to the slave, but because your majesty has called the new young master to serve you every day, the slave is afraid of offending you. Boring, that's it."

"Stupid thing!" The emperor picked up the Qibao bracelet in his hand, and hit Liang Jiugong on the head: "How can those people be compared with Concubine Wan? You go, and I will dress the internal supervisor and distribute six in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The servant of the palace sachet brings me, and I want to see who wants to put Waner and concubine to death!"

The emperor was furious, Liang Jiugong resolutely did not dare to stay longer, and rushed out of the hall as if flying.

Following him to leave, Bai Changqing also walked out of the side hall, the emperor saw him and hurriedly said, "How about Concubine Wan?"

Bai Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, nodded his head and said: "Fortunately, the food is not tasty, and the poison is not much. Otherwise, Hua Tuo will not be able to save the mother. I have given the needle to let the blood and detoxify the mother. If you want to come again Use a few doses of detoxifying decoctions, take care of yourself for a period of time, and you will be safe."

"It really is poison?" The emperor frowned and sighed, "What poison?"

Bai Changqing said: "This poison is secreted by a poisonous insect. The name of the poisonous insect is Mytharidin. Its poison is so large that it is second only to the poisonous poison! Because the poison is contained in the body, it is not easy to detect. Looking at the situation of the empress, I am afraid that this poison has been used. It's been more than half a month, and the dosage is very small every day. I'm afraid that the man increased the dose today, which caused the poison to the empress."

After Bai Changqing finished replying, the emperor rushed into the bedroom to visit Wanyu.

The man had lost a lot of weight, his complexion was pale, he was sweating profusely, his mouth and tongue were dry, and he looked so pitiful, which made the emperor's heart ache.

He tightly grasped Wanyu's cold hand, held back his tears and said, "Wan'er, I am sorry for you. I thought that I would have an explanation for you only after finding conclusive evidence to prove your innocence and return your innocence. Looking at it now, it was my paranoia that almost killed you! Don't worry, I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes and give you justice!"

When the father-in-law who passed on the meal and the eunuch who distributed the sachets of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were brought into the Changchun Palace, they were already scared out of their wits.

Seeing that the emperor was furious, he confessed before she even asked.

The inner supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs only said that the sachet was ordered by the noble concubine to be made by the palace people of Chengqian Palace.

But the eunuch who passed on the meal insisted that he did a careful inspection and ensured that the food was safe before he dared to send it to Changchun Palace.

And when the emperor asked why the food in the Changchun Palace was not as good as that of the people in the palace, the eunuch only said that he listened to the order of Quezhen, the eldest maid in the imperial concubine's palace, and said that the concubine had committed a heinous crime and hurt the health of the emperor's heirs, so there is no need to take care of her. with.

The more the emperor heard it, the more he was convinced that Rong Yue did it, and she might not be able to escape the responsibility for Yinyou's broken foot.

Could it be otherwise, why did Wan Lai be convicted and Dali Temple sent people to investigate the details, and the family members of the two nuns died tragically?

Why is Wanyu being poisoned one after another now?

Just as she was thinking about it silently, it was Shen Ye who brought the Imperial Physician Wang from the Imperial Hospital to have an audience with the imperial court.

After Shen Ye blessed the emperor, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to your will, I investigated the source of the poison in detail. Only then did I know that although mylabris is a poison, it can also be used as medicine, and it can be used to fight poison with poison. And these counts Over the past month, only a maid from Chengqian Palace has taken the myriad beetle from the imperial hospital's records. The maid told Imperial Physician Wang that she was suffering from boils, and begged Imperial Physician Wang to take some mylabris to bring her back to the palace. .”

After saying that, Imperial Physician Wang nodded again and again, and sat down to confirm what Shen Ye said.

The emperor was silent for a while, then got up angrily and said to Shen Ye: "You, immediately take the noble concubine to Qianqing Palace, I have something to ask her personally. If she doesn't come, then force her to come, don't show mercy!"

Shen Ye felt relieved, and immediately took the order to leave.

The emperor was still furious, and said to Liang Jiugong: "Declaration of my will, Xiao Yu's Sixth Palace, I will immediately restore my concubine, Niu Hulu, as Concubine Wan, and grant the right to assist the Sixth Palace, and take charge of the Sixth Palace on behalf of the noble concubine Tong. In addition." He paused for a while, looking at the two kneeling people like sharp swords: "Drag these two people out, and kill them with sticks!"
