Chapter 557 Falling Flowers and Flowing Water, Spring Gone (1)
When Mei Guiren was taken to the Nuan Pavilion of Shuilong Shuren Palace by the former imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi, everyone present was in a cold sweat due to the chilling silence.

"Mr. Mei Gui, I ask you, why do you hate the Queen, secretly send someone to give the Queen contraceptive soup, and poison the Queen, what crime should you have?" Ming Gong tried his best to calm down his emotions, using a flat tone. , asked casually.

"Your Majesty, my concubines have always been friendly with the empress, but because they were jealous of the empress's position in the middle palace, they made this decision. Please punish me, my lord." Mei Guiren replied with a few tears from her eyelashes, sobbing. .

"What?" Ming Gong was extremely surprised by Mei Guiren's outspokenness, his eyes widened, but he couldn't say a word.

Beside Mei Guiren, Xiang'er, a court lady kneeling close to her body, amidst the embarrassing eyes, Xiang'er quietly gave Mei Guiren a strange look.

This scene was seen by Rou'er behind Ming Gong, and she couldn't help trembling slightly.

"How is this possible? How could Mrs. Mei Gui secretly harm me? Besides, she insisted on admitting so quickly to the king. How did you convince me?" In the main hall of Jianjia Palace, the sentimental Empress Baosi listened to Concubine Jing and After Ge Fei's report, her complexion suddenly changed, and she coughed violently a few times.

"Little master!" Seeing Baosi's ugly face, Axi quickly helped Baosi to sit down, and comforted her while helping her back: "My little master, there must be something unspeakable about Mei Gui. Perhaps, she is framed."

"This is even more frightening. Who and what method did it to make the evidence tight?" Bao Si asked with a frown.

"Empress, I heard that she found clues in the nourishing soup that Mrs. Mei Gui sent over, and found that the soup was mixed with contraceptive powder." Concubine Ge replied.

"Nourishing soup? Probably not. If the nourishing ginseng soup that I take every day is mixed with poison, then I must have some discomfort these days. Axi, you should go to the imperial hospital immediately, and ask the imperial physician Zhou Come to check the pulse." Bao Si pondered over and over again, and hurriedly instructed A Xi.

After a while, Imperial Physician Zhou came in and kowtowed, and after taking Baosi's pulse, he cupped his hands and reported, "The empress, according to my investigation, the empress does have contraceptives in her body, but it is extremely small, apparently just a few days ago. .”

"Oh? Imperial Physician Zhou, according to this, if it is investigated, only the ginseng soup sent by Zijin Pavilion was poisoned in the past few days, and it was discovered when it was put on the spot later." Bao Si changed his mind. Thinking about it, I suddenly realized.

"Exactly, empress, these residual poisons are not serious, as long as they are taken care of carefully, they will not prevent empress from conceiving dragon seeds." Imperial Physician Zhou said with a smile.

"It seems that when the ginseng soup sent by Zijin Pavilion came out from Mrs. Mei Gui, it must have been tampered with by someone close to him." Axi had an idea and guessed.

"Axi, who is the maid from Zijin Pavilion who sent ginseng soup to the palace these days?" Bao Si pursued.

"My lord, to answer my lord's words, it's Mei Guiren's personal maid, Xiang'er. Originally, this servant thought that this girl was abnormal, and she was always poking around with us." Mingyue, who was beside Axi, quickly interjected.

"Then it must be. This matter was exposed by Xiang'er. It seems that Xiang'er must be a spy sent by Concubine Jiang to Zijin Pavilion. She has been plotting to frame Lady Mei for a long time!" Concubine Jing also said suddenly. .

"Empress, it seems that Concubine Jiang suddenly framed Mrs. Mei with ulterior motives. It is very likely that she planned to prevent Wang Shangli from making Song Wang the crown prince." Concubine Ge reminded in a panic.
