The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 56 Cat Disaster ([-])

The queen glanced at the newly offered camellias on the window sill, fiddled with the plain silver armor on her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Yi and Lady Wan are really sisters, and they even know the amount of hair oil she uses for her hair." She sighed softly, and looked at Rong Yue with a tinge of coolness: "Except for Concubine Xian, no one else in the palace has this thing."

The emperor was depressed, rubbed the jade finger on his thumb and said solemnly: "The empress and concubine Yi are the most respected in the harem, so there is no point in arguing in front of so many palace people?"

The empress looked troubled, while Concubine Yi smiled lightly and said nothing.

The emperor said again: "Your Majesty Wan, have you used up this hair oil?" He looked at Wanyu, ignoring her own fear of the cold, tightly hugging the trembling velvet covered in dirty cold water in her arms, biting her red lips lightly, His eyes were full of pity, and he never left Xuerong for a moment.

He often comes to Yanxi Palace to stay overnight, and has met Xue Rong several times. If it is said that her pity today is pretended, then the love and sympathy in normal times is from the bottom of her heart.At this moment, I just believed that Wan Lai was innocent.So he added softly: "Just tell me, I will definitely believe you."

Hearing the emperor's words, Wanyu seemed to want to laugh, but her face twitched slightly, and she couldn't squeeze out a smile for a long time.

She looked up at the emperor with empty eyes, and it took a moment to squeeze out the word 'yes' from her mouth.

The suspicion in the emperor's eyes gradually dissipated, and he raised his hand and said, "Get up."

Rong Yue was helping Wan Lai to get up, there was a commotion outside the door, Imperial Physician Liu was sweating in the cold weather, and without waiting for the eunuch to preach, he broke into the palace as if lost his soul.

His face was terrified, his bowed and folded hands seemed to be trembling, the emperor's face was serious, he glanced at him with squinted eyes and said: "But what's wrong with Chang Li?"

The imperial doctor wiped his sweat, and Nuonuo replied: "Li Chang is in Wan'an, and the dragon fetus has been successfully released from her womb, but" he hesitated, and after being repeatedly reprimanded by the emperor, he suddenly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty , the face of the dragon fetus is black and blue, and there are many purple scars on the body, which is caused by poisoning."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor stood up and threw the tea dregs on the ground heavily, shouting 'bold' angrily.

The fragments of the teacup fell apart and splashed all over the ground mixed with the warm tea.

Seeing that the emperor was furious, all the people present, including the empress, stood up and knelt down, saying that the emperor would appease the anger.

The emperor panted heavily, pointed at Imperial Physician Liu angrily and roared: "You have always been in charge of taking care of Li Changzai's fetus. Every time you come to report, you tell me that the dragon fetus is safe! How can there be poisoning?"

Physician Liu trembled in fright, kowtowed and replied in a crying voice: "Since the beginning of autumn, Li Changzai has often had a cold and sore throat. According to common sense, some illnesses are inevitable due to a weak mother's body. It doesn't matter. Li Changzai is looking for I prescribed a prescription for her, and I also picked some warming and tonic medicinal materials to strengthen her foundation and nourish her vitality. But just now, I saw the vision of a dragon fetus, and I carefully checked the medicine residue left by Li Changzai in the palace, only to find that Nuxychnium has been added to the medicine. Although Nuxyche has the effect of curing typhoid and sore throat, it is also toxic. Occasionally, the supplementary medicine is harmless, but if it is taken for a long time, the toxicity will pass along the mother's umbilical cord. Enter the body of the dragon fetus, after this, the dragon fetus will definitely perish."

Physician Liu was halfway through talking, and a Yuqian fan came in with a plate of plum snow cake, and replied to the empress: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Liu just ordered the servant to find the food that Li Changzai eats in recent days, and the servant asked her palace Those in the palace know that since winter Li Changzai loves this 'Luomei Snowflake Cake' the most."

Wan Yu fixed her eyes on the jade plate where Qingluan was playing in the water, and she didn't feel a gust of cold air engulfing her.

The emperor pointed to Doctor Liu and ordered him to go up and find out what was wrong.

Physician Liu did not dare to be negligent, took a piece of 'Luomei Snow Cake' and broke it open in his hand, first sniffed and inspected it carefully, and then took a small piece and put it in his mouth.

He frowned, put the pastry back on the plate, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this pastry has a little powder made from corydalis, and it is very well blended with other condiments. It smells bitter and astringent. Housewives have irregular monthly beliefs, lumps in the abdomen, and dew in the metrorrhagia. It is very effective in promoting qi, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis. If you eat this amount in the abdomen, you will definitely have a miscarriage within a month And..." Imperial Physician Liu panted heavily, his words flickering and he dared not continue.

The emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he said bitterly: "Go on!"

"Yanhu asks for horses and money, and the toxicity increases greatly. The person who poisoned him has a vicious mind, and Li Changzai will die with the dragon in his belly!" Imperial Physician Liu bowed his head in fear, not daring to look directly at the angry face of the emperor: " Forgive me to say bluntly, if Li Changzai hadn't accidentally fallen down the steps today and was already in danger of dying, if such a vicious poison was discovered by me in a few days, whether Li Changzai's life could be saved by then would be a matter of choice. Unknown number."

The queen rolled Juanzi in her hand and pressed the tip of her nose lightly, and said with a look of disgust: "Are the servants of the imperial dining room crazy, how dare they do such a rebellious thing!?"

Yuqian fanzi took the queen's words and said, "The servant has made a detailed inquiry and found out that this pastry was sent to Li Changzai by nobleman Wan."

The palace lantern next to the throne in the main hall was swayed and swayed by the wind, like a phosphorous fire.It's more like a pair of obsequious and flattering eyes, staring at Wanyu firmly.

The light flickered and dimmed, reflecting a dim light, just at this moment the emperor's face was cloudy and iron blue, and the whole person was shrouded in a dark shadow.

Wanyu's heart felt cold, as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and the darkness around her seemed to swallow her up.It was the empress who called her name sharply, which distracted her a little bit.

This series of frame-ups, You Sheng's situation on that day, Rongyue's situation, everything is closely related to her, Wan Lai's heart is terrified, but more of it is the anger of being wronged for no reason.

All of a sudden, the light in her eyes must have flashed, and she stared blankly at the queen and replied: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with my concubine. I can be sure that the dish of falling plum snowflake cake presented by Yuqian Fanzi definitely did not come from the concubine's palace." inside."

The queen raised her eyebrows and said 'oh', and said again: "There are so many eyes staring at the palace, they all say that you sent this cake to Li Changzai, do you still have an argument?"

"The concubine is not arguing." Wan Yu said with full confidence, every word was loud and clear: "Since Li Changzai was pregnant, the concubine has always been eager to send good food to her palace, and everyone in the palace knows that However, others do not know that every time the concubine sends food, it has to be checked by the imperial physician Xu who asks for a safe pulse every day to ensure that it is safe before being sent to Li Changzai."

From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the emperor's face softening, as if she believed her own words, so she continued: "There are records in these imperial hospitals, and the queen can ask someone to go and check. And Li Chang was suspicious during pregnancy, and the concubine Most of the food she sent was thrown in the waste pile behind her side hall, Dong Xu, who lives with the concubines, knows it best."
