Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 198 Ming Sheng Emperor Poisoned

"Your Majesty! My concubine has brought you soup, please see your majesty!" Qin Guiren's delicate voice sounded outside the door.

Ming Shengdi lowered the hand he had just raised, looking at the faint figure of Hu Lan outside the door, he thought of Yue Jinglan again for some reason, if she was still there, washing his hands and making soup for himself like this, he would not know What joy.

"Forget it, let her in."

He waved his hand and said, suppressing some of the nostalgic nostalgia in his heart that had arisen in vain.

Xiaoxia Zifang passed on the message, and Qin Guiren stepped in slowly with lotus steps. She raised her bright eyes and glanced slightly at Ming Shengdi's face, revealing a little shyness of a little daughter.

"Your majesty, this concubine thought it was time for you to have dinner, so she hurried over here."

Qin Guiren slightly bent his knees and made a half salute, then handed over the food basket containing soup in his hand.

Yesterday it was sent by Shui Yanran, and today it was sent by Qin Guiren, how could Ming Shengdi fail to see that these two people clearly intended to be obedient and flattering? nostalgia.

"Concubine Ai has a heart, since she specially sent soup, let's put it down and leave." Ming Shengdi glanced at her indifferently.

Qin Guiren did not expect Ming Shengdi's attitude to be completely different from what he had expected, and all the flattering words he had planned to hold back in his stomach, seeing Ming Shengdi continuing to eat, he didn't want to say more. She panicked even more.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to try it? My concubine nearly scalded her hands in the sand bowl just to cook this chrysanthemum matsutake soup for you. Yesterday, I went to the chrysanthemum garden early to pick fresh chrysanthemum petals." , to make soup. Who knew that the concubine Yue complained that the concubine should not have picked the flowers of the chrysanthemum garden without authorization."

"The concubine thought that since it is the emperor's chrysanthemum garden, the concubine picked flowers and vegetables for the emperor. The emperor would forgive the concubine, but who knew that the concubine Yue would not listen to a word? The concubine just argued a few words. In a word, my sister accused the concubine of not knowing the rules, and the concubine really felt a little wronged in her heart."

As he said that, Qin Guiren pretended to swallow again and his throat twitched, but he didn't shed any tears, but the traces of his pretentiousness were too heavy.

Sure enough, Ming Shengdi was not moved by Qin Guiren's words, but only looked at her with a frown, becoming more and more impatient.

"I have already said yesterday that since Concubine Yue is an old man in the palace, she will not make things difficult for you intentionally or unintentionally. You must have offended her with your words, or you have done something against the rules. Concubine Ling Yue reminded you a few things. Since you haven't figured out what to do in this palace, go back to your Zhaohui Palace and think about it carefully, and then come and talk to me after you have figured it out."

Emperor Ming's expression was indifferent, and he only gave Qin Guiren a meaningful look. As far as appearance is concerned, he really liked Qin Guiren very much, but this palace doesn't need too many stupid women. He is really old now. He didn't have much thought to deal with the jealousy of the concubines, which caused headaches for no reason.

"But the emperor."

Qin Guiren bit his lip, and saw that Emperor Ming's eyes were a little more lingering, so he kept his mouth shut, and then turned to Xia Shengqing, who was beside Emperor Ming, to stare at him indistinctly. What a bad idea, insisting on asking her to give some Shi Laozi, chrysanthemum and matsutake soup, this is good, not only did not pull Ming Shengdi's mind back, but also pushed it an inch further.

"The concubine has worked so hard. At least you have a taste." She muttered in a low voice, half aggrieved and half infatuated, and she was already scolding Xia Shengqing a dozen times for coming up with such a bad idea that made her embarrassed.

Ming Shengdi saw her head drooping and her small mouth pouting angrily, and she really couldn't get angry anymore, so she winked at Xia Shengqing with a broken smile, and asked Xia Shengqing to take a bowl for him.

Although the soup is not really made by nobleman Qin, the smell is indeed fragrant. As soon as you open the food basket, there is a scent that blends with the fragrance of meat. The white jade soup is delicious and thick, mixed with diced matsutake The fish paste is melted and boiled until it becomes sticky, and then the chrysanthemum petals are crushed into a drained orange juice, which is slowly simmered and mixed in, so that such a bowl of good stuff is obtained.

"Let the concubine come!"

Seeing that Ming Shengdi's expression softened slightly, Qin Guiren was also busy scooping up the soup for him first, holding the porcelain white bucket spoon in his slender hand, gently scooping up the thick soup and pouring it into the gold-plated imperial bowl. The thick white soup is dotted with whole blooming chrysanthemum petals, which has a special beauty.

Ming Shengdi nodded, took the soup bowl handed over by Qin Guiren, stirred it with the spoon persistently, scooped up a spoon and put it into his mouth, the soft and glutinous taste lingered between his lips and tongue and turned into fresh and sweet, the taste is extremely delicious Rich.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that this matsutake stewed with yellow chrysanthemum is the most nourishing, and it is really delicious when it is boiled with fresh and firm sea bass. I also tasted it once in that famous building when I was outside the palace for the emperor. It's just that the craftsmanship of this nobleman of Qin will make the emperor more happy than the cooks outside."

It was just polite words, but Ming Shengdi liked to listen to them very much, he happily drank more than half of the bowl, and the more he ate, the more he enjoyed it.

"Can the emperor use it and return it?" Qin Guiren saw that the situation has eased a lot now, and the worries in his heart have gradually let go. Knowing that now is not the time to show his temper with Ming Shengdi, he also learned to be soft, " As long as your Majesty is pleased, it is worthwhile for my concubine to go this trip, I know that I am not mature and stable, so I will not cause trouble for you sometimes, and I will be cautious in my words and deeds every day in the future."

Her sincerity surprised Ming Shengdi a little bit, only to see Ming Shengdi nodded thoughtfully, and was about to say something more, and at this time it was the most coincidental time, just catching up with the outside of the hall There was another soft sound of embroidered shoes, Xiao Xiazi entered the hall and said that Shui Yanran had also come.

When these two enemies met, they were extremely jealous, Ming Shengdi recruited Shui Yanran into the palace, she and Qin Guiren looked at each other for a moment, they both saw sarcasm and perseverance in their respective eyes.

"Hey, our Emperor's Qianqing Palace is very lively today. The two ladies have come one after the other. It would be best to accompany the Emperor on the left and right." Xia Shengqing said slowly, facing her. Shui Yanran cast a look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and returned a calm smile.

"The concubine only knows that the emperor is here, and has never heard of who the emperor is in the same room with. She should be courteous. She just thought that everyone had arrived at the door. If she didn't come in and see the emperor, it would be a little impolite. Here comes I never thought that the emperor was having dinner with the noble sister, and it was the concubine who wanted to pick a good time."

Ming Shengdi didn't hear the meaning of Shui Yanran's words, but suddenly felt some unbearable cramps in his abdomen, and even the whole bone from his scalp to his back felt a little throbbing, trembling, he supported the chair behind him , Pain in the head as if hit by a heavy ton.

"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

Shui Yanran was the first to exclaim, stepped forward and supported Ming Shengdi, and kept asking him.

Ming Shengdi also felt very strange, but the pain in his abdomen hastened, I'm afraid he didn't even have the strength to speak now, he was moaning and coughing violently, as if someone was stirring a long knife in his abdominal cavity. Breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, wake up!"

"Come here!!!"

The sudden change of Ming Shengdi made no one think of it. The anxious shouts of the two concubines and Xia Shengqing's loud call for the imperial doctor were heard in the noisy palace, and Ming Shengdi was carried on the dragon couch by the palace people. Holding his belly, he coughed repeatedly, and then he vomited a big mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty! Don't scare your concubines!" Shui Yanran yelled loudly, standing in front of the couch and watching the imperial doctor rush into the hall to diagnose the Ming Emperor, and then wiped her tears with a handkerchief, making a very sad and worried expression. appearance.

It was the first time for Qin Guiren to see such an accident, so she was naturally at a loss. She stood aside and bit her lower lip, wondering why Ming Shengdi was still in good shape just a moment ago, but it was only half a cup of tea. Then suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma
After the palace people were busy, they brought water to wipe the Emperor Ming, and saw that the imperial guards in the palace began to mobilize their hands in front of the Qianqing Palace, and no one inside was allowed to go out.

The reason for Ming Shengdi's sudden behavior is still unknown, and the whole palace immediately entered a state of alert. After all, the safety of the emperor is a top priority. For the crime of exterminating the family, it is absolutely impossible to release one of them before the truth comes to light.

It was just a stick of incense, the queen and other concubines and princesses also rushed over, but because of the unknown situation of Ming Shengdi, everyone was stopped outside the Qianqing Palace, and only the queen was able to enter .

"what on earth is it!"

The queen saw that Ming Shengdi was still in a coma, and there was a blackness in her eyes, and the first three people in the room stood separately, and they all had different expressions.

Xia Shengqing respectfully said to the queen: "I would like to report to the empress, the emperor was having dinner just now, and then nobleman Qin brought soup. Not a moment after the emperor tasted it, the empress concubine Yue also entered the hall. Concubine Yue said a few words, and suddenly she seemed to have a seizure, her face was extremely painful!"

The queen listened to Xia Shengqing's story, and her phoenix eyes took a deep look at Shui Yanran and Qin Guiren, and seemed to hesitate to speak.

Just at this moment, the imperial doctor who diagnosed Emperor Ming suddenly exclaimed. He was holding a silver needle in his hand, and the tip of the needle was full of black air, which was obviously the appearance of the silver needle turning black when it was poisoned.
The imperial physician knelt down in front of the empress, trembling, and hurriedly reported: "Empress! I have just activated the emperor's acupuncture and moxibustion. I used silver needles to pierce the acupuncture points all over my body. When I took the needle from the throat, I was surprised to find that the silver needle was black and dark. , His Majesty! He has been poisoned!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was extremely surprised.
