Chapter 782 Multiple Actions (3)

Huo concubine stirred her painful nerves, and said hoarsely: "The realgar is the flaw, the realgar is the flaw!"

Concubine Rou couldn't help being stunned: "Realgar? This..."

Concubine Huo's eyes were scorched by hatred, she gritted her teeth and said: "In order to give birth to the emperor's first son after ascending the throne, she instigated Empress Yuanxian to use orpiment to murder the concubine who was pregnant before her."

"Berry Concubine was the first newcomer favored by the emperor after he came to the throne, and she was also the first person to conceive a prince. At that time, Concubine Berry was the new favorite and was pregnant again. If she gave birth to a prince, it would be really expensive gone."

"In order to get rid of the baby in Berry's womb, and also to make the emperor despise Berry and cut off her favor, at the same time that Empress Yuanxian gave orpiment, she mixed some realgar in private. The empress is proficient in pharmaceuticals. People who refine medicine should know the terrible effect that realgar and orpiment meet."

Concubine Rou took a deep breath: "Of course I know. The book "Materia Medica Diagrams" says: "When a woman feels pregnant, take two liang of realgar and put it in a crimson sac to turn a woman into a man. Orpiment and half liang, which can be carried in a plain bag, can turn a man into a woman." If you use orpiment and realgar together and mix it into a pregnant woman's body through diet, then the child she gives birth to will be a hermaphrodite in all likelihood, but How did this become a flaw?"

Huo Bin said: "Berry Concubine and Yi Concubine were the biggest victims of the orpiment poisoning incident back then. Although their children were poisoned to death by the arsenic transformed from orpiment, there are still subtle differences between the two."

"Berry Concubine's diet not only contains orpiment, but also mixed with a little realgar, while Concubine Yi was simply harmed by orpiment, but there is one more thing that cannot be ignored, that is, when Concubine Yi was pregnant, poisonous snakes appeared in her bedroom."

"The encounter with the snake was also conspired by Concubine Jia and Empress Yuanxian in order to blame the current empress. Do you know how Concubine Jia lured the poisonous snake into Yipin's palace?"

Concubine Rou shook her head: "I don't know, I was in hibernation at that time, so I didn't have time to check these details."

Concubine Huo said: "Back then, Concubine Jia used the excuse of Concubine Yi's pregnancy to ask the emperor to order the reconstruction of Jingyang Palace so that Concubine Yi could feel more comfortable during her pregnancy, but she ordered someone to paint the walls during the renovation process. The paint is mixed with snakeberry, which is a favorite fruit of poisonous snakes, but wherever snakeberries appear, poisonous snakes often appear."

Concubine Rou suddenly said: "It turned out to be snakeberry, no wonder so many poisonous snakes appeared in her palace when Yipin was pregnant."

Huo Concubine said again: "The biggest difference between Berry Concubine and Yi Concubine is realgar and snake strawberry. In order to forget the humiliation in Qixiang Palace, I have never dared to think about it. Now that I think about it, There is still an inevitable connection between realgar and snakeberry, and this connection may be the flaw left by Concubine Jia."

Speaking of this, Concubine Huo looked at Concubine Rou: "Your Majesty is proficient in medicine, can you guess it?"

Concubine Rou's eyes brightened: "Snakeberry is the fruit that snakes love to eat, and realgar is a medicine that snakes can't avoid. In the folklore "Legend of the White Snake", the white lady in it was born on the Duanyang Festival. After drinking the realgar wine, the original shape of the white snake was revealed, and Xu Xian's soul was so frightened that he lost his body and died, so there is the classic plot of stealing the fairy grass to save the husband-in-law."
