Chapter 184 The Opening of the Drama ([-])
Grace Wan suddenly said: "So that's how it is!"

The queen said again: "The medicinal property of this orpiment is very unstable. If it is overheated, it will easily decompose and transform, and the product it transforms is arsenic."

Berry nobleman couldn't help being startled: "Does the empress mean that the concubine and Yigui's children died from the poison of arsenic transformed from orpiment?"

The queen nodded and said, "That's right."

She went on to say: "Although this orpiment is very poisonous, it is generally used to modify articles and is rarely used as medicine. This is because the control of this medicine in the harem is not very strict. As long as there are four treasures of the study, there will basically be orpiment, so It is very easy to obtain, Yigui was stillborn, I was ordered to investigate the truth, and found these things among the utensils in Yigui's room."

She clapped her hands high, and Hua Sui came over with a white porcelain plate. On the plate was a small jar. The lid was opened, revealing the pale yellow liquid inside.

When everyone saw this, Ting Lan, who was sitting closest to the queen, immediately recognized it: "Isn't this the sweet-scented osmanthus oil we women often use to comb our hair?"

The queen said: "That's right, this is the most common osmanthus oil used to comb hair in the harem, but this bottle of osmanthus oil is different from other osmanthus oils."

As she spoke, she poured out the sweet-scented osmanthus oil, and the light yellow liquid floated in the porcelain white plate, like a puddle of melted chicken fat.

The queen pointed to the sweet-scented osmanthus oil on the plate and said, "Your Majesty, do you think this oil is different from other oils?"

The emperor took a closer look: "This oil looks very good in color, but there is a little yellow powder mixed in it. The top-quality osmanthus oil is not only pure in color, but also has no impurities at all. This can is obviously inferior. I'm getting more and more careless, I have already ordered that Mrs. Yigui is pregnant, and all daily necessities will be delivered with the best ones, I didn't expect them to dare to use inferior goods to perfunctory the matter."

The queen shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is perfunctory. This jar of osmanthus oil is indeed the highest quality osmanthus oil. The yellow powder in this jar is not an impurity, but someone added it on purpose. If you don't take a closer look, you won't notice it at all. If it doesn’t come out, as for what these powders are, I have to let the two imperial physicians test them.”

As soon as she waved her hand, Hua Sui turned the white porcelain plate around in front of everyone's eyes, and finally held it in front of Luo Tian and Imperial Physician Li.

The two imperial physicians rubbed some oil on the jewelry, twisted it lightly, and immediately said in unison: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the powder inside is orpiment."

Luo Tian continued: "This orpiment powder is the same as osmanthus oil. It is light yellow. Once it is ground and mixed into it, it will not be noticed at all. If a woman uses this can of osmanthus oil to comb her hair, the orpiment powder will be lost during the combing process." It will enter the scalp along the hair, and then invade the body unconsciously, plus sweet-scented osmanthus oil is refined from golden osmanthus, the aroma of golden osmanthus is the most intense and fragrant, and it can even cover up the smell of orpiment, making it difficult for people to detect."

The queen sneered and said, "It's not that bad. Orpiment is unstable, and it's easy to decompose and turn into arsenic when heated. The women in the harem usually wash their hair once every two weeks. Every time they wash their hair, they use warm water to dissolve the arsenic in their hair. Dirt and oily residue using sweet-scented osmanthus oil, while this warm shampoo removes dirt and oil, it will also transform the orpiment that enters the scalp, thereby accelerating the chronic arsenic poison into the body faster, so washing once is a hit Poisonous, hardly noticeable at all."
