I don't want to be wronged again

Chapter 165 203, Monologue Grass
Concubine Liu picked up a beautifully fried peony flower, sniffed it, and said, "The stuff fried in this bean oil is a peony! It can't be compared to the stuff made from rapeseed oil. It has a strong smell!"

Wang Taifei sighed: "I heard that this is specially squeezed by the Han Family Oil Factory for Concubine Sun Gui. Let's take advantage of the Buddha's light and taste it. Do you want to eat it every day? Wait until we go underground and ask the old emperor for help." Please! We don’t have that kind of luck now, someone will squeeze oil for us!”

All the wives inside and outside said enviously: "I heard that this soybean oil is a rare thing! A pot costs a hundred and ten taels of silver! Before this, who knew that the beans could be fried with oil? The imperial concubine was willing to donate it. Giving it to the Buddha is a testament to the sincerity of respecting the Buddha!"

While everyone was talking and laughing, the two concubines each ate two fruits, drank a cup of tea, and concentrated on watching the play again.Unexpectedly, without much effort, they covered their stomachs and groaned at the same time.

This sudden situation almost frightened Concubine Xi half to death, it was only after her attendants reminded her that she remembered to ask the emperor to invite the imperial doctor separately.

The emperor and the imperial doctors almost rushed to the front and back. At this time, the two concubines were already blue and purple, foaming at the mouth, almost unable to even moan.

Yu Yizheng of the Imperial Hospital only saw the faces of the concubines, and then his face changed drastically, and he blurted out: "It's poisoning!"

Imperial Physician Liu pleaded guilty, stepped forward to roll over the eyelids of the two concubines, nodded and said: "It is indeed poisoning."

The emperor shouted: "Don't dawdle! Since it is poisoned, why not detoxify quickly!"

The imperial physicians didn't dare to delay, they first took the regular detoxification pills and fed them to the concubine, and said to the emperor: "Long live, the detoxification pills for the concubines can only temporarily block the poisonous gas from entering the heart. If you want to detoxify, you need to know what it is. What kind of poison did you get. There are all kinds of poisons in this world, and the poisons are even more different. The difference is really different. If there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that the concubine will "

Such a scandal of blatantly poisoning the concubine occurred in the deep palace, which really made the emperor lose face in front of all the ministers and wives who attended the palace banquet.At this time, the emperor didn't care about losing face anymore, and ordered Xu Chenghai with a serious face: "Bring up the slave who served the concubine today, and you will interrogate him in front of me."

At this time, the Empress Dowager also rushed over upon hearing the news, and seeing the two concubines lying dying on the temporary couch, their expressions changed, and they immediately felt cold.Turning back to the emperor, he said: "This palace is really lively now, someone can plot against us coffins, we just ate more food for a few years, and someone can't see it? ! Are you so eager to let us die?! Come on, Emperor, you give Aijia a rope, so Aijia will go with the two younger sisters, and it will save you from worrying and getting in the way of people's eyes."

What he said made the emperor kneel immediately, how dare he bear the charge of unfilial piety!
He immediately kowtowed and said: "Queen Mother, please calm down! My son dares to swear to Tianmeng that he will never be disrespectful to his mother and the concubines! My son is investigating this matter thoroughly, and he will definitely give an explanation to the queen mother and the two concubines!"

The maid who served the concubine was brought up weeping and knelt at the feet of the emperor and the queen mother.The emperor waved his head to signal Xu Chenghai to ask.After Xu Chenghai sized up the court ladies, he asked, "When did the concubine feel unwell?"

Several people thought for a while, and replied in unison: "It was the time when Tang Seng was kidnapped by the goblin while singing on stage."

Everyone was angry and funny, these people were so fascinated after watching the show!
Xu Chenghai asked again with a straight face: "Have the concubines eaten before this?"

Several people thought about it, and said: "The last is the snacks that Concubine Xi picked out by herself half an hour ago, and they also drank a cup of tea."

The two plates of fancy dim sum were handed over, and the imperial doctor hurried forward, looked at them and smelled them, and after smelling them, they gently broke off a little bit of crumbs and put them in their mouths to taste.

After a long while, Imperial Physician Liu, who is proficient in pharmacopoeia, shook his head and said, "The poison is put in this dim sum. I can taste the smell of monologue grass, but...just" He licked the dim sum again, frowning carefully Pin Zhe said: "It seems that there is another thing. But I can't tell it apart."

At this time, Concubine Xi winked at the maid beside her, and the maid had no choice but to step forward with a mournful face and said, "This snack was fried in soybean oil donated by the imperial concubine. The servant was greedy for it before, and was trying to fry it." I saved some flour and halva when I was in the palace, and fried some of them with ordinary oil in the palace for the sisters to taste. Everyone is fine, and it seems that the poison is still in the oil."

Concubine Xi pretended to shout: "You lowly maidservant! What nonsense are you talking about?! How could the noble concubine put poison in the oil? Doesn't she know that these snacks are dedicated to the Buddha, the queen mother, and the empress? You cheap Maid! I'll beat you to death, you nonsense!" While yelling and cursing, he made a gesture of raising his hand to hit him.

It's okay if she didn't say what she said, but once she said it, it would be like pointing Qing Dai's nose and saying that she poisoned the queen mother and queen!Everyone was arguing in their hearts: This is obviously the queen and the imperial concubine fighting.I just don't know which gust of wind will overwhelm which gust this time?
Zhu Zhanji yelled with a sullen face: "Stop! Xu Chenghai, take this slave down and question him strictly! Someone, bring up all the ingredients and the slaves who make snacks!"

When the two imperial physicians saw the materials brought up, they were the first to check the oil pot of the blue and white pot.After they both tasted it, they glanced at each other, nodded, and looked back at the flour, crisp candy, maltose, sesame seeds, and even the pots and pans used to make the dim sum. Only then did the doctor come forward and reply: " Long live, Empress Dowager: This oil is indeed poisonous!"

Zhu Zhanji shouted: "Have you checked it clearly?!"

Yu Yizheng nodded, confidently said: "The oil is poisonous, and the flour, sugar and ingredients are non-toxic. What this girl said is true, as long as the snacks are not fried in this kind of oil, they are non-toxic. But the minister is waiting There is only one kind of poison in this oil, but it is not the culprit of the poisoning of the great imperial concubines!"

Yu Yizheng sighed and said: "This poisoner's heart is very vicious, but his attainment is very common with poison. He didn't even know that the poison of monologue grass melts in oil and loses its toxicity! The poison is definitely not poured into the oil! This poison is sprinkled on the pastry at the end!"

Concubine Xi said sharply: "Didn't you just say that the oil is poisonous! The poison is put in the oil! You fool can't detect it!"
