Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 199 That Bowl of Chrysanthemum Soup Is Poisonous

The guards in this imperial palace are strictly guarded, who would dare to poison Ming Shengdi in full view of everyone!

The queen was stunned, seeing Ming Shengdi's black throat and black eyes, it was indeed a sign of poisoning, she clenched her hands tightly and uttered a sharp voice.

"How do you all protect the emperor! In the palace, thieves can be poisoned! If there is something wrong with the emperor, I want you to be buried with me!"

Everyone in the palace knelt down and bowed down tremblingly, shouting again and again: "Empress Empress, calm down!"

How can the empress calm down, this poison is so strange, if Ming Shengdi really has something good or bad, then the world will really change masters.Now that the crown prince has been established, once Ming Shengdi dies, Xia Qin will be the next king in a legitimate way. Xia Qixuan is just the grandson of the emperor, and has no right to compete with the crown prince. If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he must deal with everything vigorously. There will be no place for her and the emperor's eldest grandson to gain a foothold against the forces that are unfavorable to him.
"I don't care, you should treat the emperor quickly, if the emperor can't be cured, I can't spare you!" The queen sternly reprimanded the imperial doctor, holding her chest and gasping for breath, with deep worry and exhaustion hidden in her eyes.

The imperial doctor repeatedly said yes, raised his hand to wipe off his sweat, and then hurriedly got up to test the needle for Ming Shengdi.

People in the hall were panicked, and the empress ordered the imperial guards to put their hands on the door, so that people inside could not get out, and people outside could not come in, just because they were afraid that if there were some impure minds at this juncture, Ming Shengdi would be poisoned into a coma. If the news leaks out of the palace, it can be said that the court will be in chaos.

There are also many princes and grandchildren under Ming Shengdi. Once someone has bad thoughts and wants to take advantage of this moment to make a move, the consequences will be disastrous.

The empress on the other side was in a panic, while the noble Qin on the other side was also panicked.

Ming Shengdi was suddenly poisoned, and at that time only he, Shui Yanran and Xia Shengqing were present, and what's more, he brought a bowl of soup. Ming Shengdi just ate another bowl.
She frowned tightly, her heart kept beating, but she comforted herself: "No, no, no."

Before she came out, she personally checked the chrysanthemum and matsutake soup, and there was absolutely no problem at all. Besides, she didn't meet anyone on the way to Qianqing Palace. What's wrong!

Although the complexity of Qin Guiren's heart was not fully revealed on the surface, Shui Yanran had already seen it in his eyes.Shui Yanran secretly raised her lips to laugh, then swept her gaze between Xia Shengqing and Qin Guiren, thinking to herself, the fun is about to begin!

After about a stick of incense, everyone looked at the imperial doctor's movements one by one, as if they were even breathing cautiously, and the queen was even more worried, holding the square scarf in her hand tightly, for fear of seeing the imperial doctor showing her displeasure. Come on with a good look.

Fortunately, not too long later, the imperial physician let out a sigh of relief, raised his wide sleeve and stamped it on his forehead, showing a relaxed expression.

"How? Is the emperor okay?" Seeing this, the queen asked quickly.

The imperial doctor took the silver needles, turned around and bowed to the queen, saying: "Go back to the empress, the emperor's condition has stabilized, the poison in the body has been forced out by the needles, and the rest only needs to be taken care of." , eat more light and detoxifying meals, and supplemented with medicinal soup, the poison in the body can be quickly discharged."

The queen also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, secretly glad that Emperor Ming Sheng was safe and sound this time, and quickly ordered the two palace servants to prepare detoxifying and heat-clearing food immediately, so that Emperor Ming Sheng could recover immediately after waking up. Use it.

"It's just an imperial doctor, I don't know what kind of poison the emperor has in it?"

The queen turned around and asked again.

At this moment, everyone's thoughts are relaxed, could it be that they are concerned about the sudden poisoning of Ming Shengdi.

The imperial physician clasped his hands and said: "I have to let the minister test the meal that the emperor used tonight to find out that the emperor's poison is a kind of pure poison, and the onset time is very short. It must be ginseng in something that he took within half an hour. of."

The empress nodded, and immediately asked the palace staff to bring to the imperial physician the dishes for the evening meal that Emperor Ming had promised not to be touched by anyone.

Everyone has their own ideas in their hearts, what happened this time is still unknown, but if this poisonous thing came out of Ming Shengdi's dinner, I am afraid that the people in the imperial dining room will inevitably have to conduct a rigorous investigation.

The imperial doctor held a long silver needle that had been used to test poisons all along, and tried them one by one in the order in which the maids served the remnants of the dishes. Still bright and silvery white, the imperial doctor wiped it with a cloth and probed again, and it was the same one by one.

Seeing that the dishes were almost finished, everyone's necks were getting longer and longer.

The imperial doctor inserted the silver needle into the last bowl of vegetables, soaked it for a while, and then took it out, and saw that the silver needle fruit was still intact, without any sign of blackening.

"Empress, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the night that the imperial dining room sent to the emperor at night."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the queen was even more puzzled.

The imperial physician asked again: "Is there something else missing?"

Before the queen could speak, she heard Shui Yanran and immediately said: "The emperor even drank the soup that nobleman Qin gave after dinner."

Qin Guiren's complexion immediately turned pale. Although she could conclude that there was nothing wrong with the soup, Shui Yanran clearly had some bad meaning when she said that, seeing that everyone's attention was diverted. When she was on her body, she secretly glared at Shui Yanran.

"Sister Yue Concubine, what is the meaning of this, do you think that this Palace will harm the Emperor?"

"Of course I don't mean that, it's just that everything should be fair. Since the things sent by the imperial dining room are all right, and the cause of the emperor's poisoning is unknown, my sister will naturally have to check your things. something bad"

Qin Gui is angry, and she is clearly misleading everyone. Now that she has a lot of holy family members, if the poisoning of Ming Shengdi has anything to do with her, Ming Shengdi will definitely be suspicious of herself after waking up. The best way now is to prove your innocence in front of everyone.

She snorted, turned to bless the queen and said: "Test it, empress, if there is nothing wrong with the concubine's things, it is wronged for the concubine to be suspected by the concubine Yue for no reason, so I must invite the empress The empress asks for an explanation for the concubine!"

Shui Yanran smiled with unknown meaning, raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, just waiting for the next good show.

The queen naturally agreed, and ordered someone to bring up the chrysanthemum matsutake soup, and signaled the imperial doctor to verify it immediately.

Compared with the previous time, this time the imperial physician is much more cautious. According to his inference, the poison that Ming Shengdi was poisoned must be in the food that he ate within half an hour. If nothing is tested in the end If he comes out, I'm afraid his black hat will not be guaranteed, and even his life will be in danger.

As time went by bit by bit, the imperial physician slowly pulled out the silver needle that was inserted into the soup and looked at the light in the room, only to see that the tip of the needle was still silvery white and shiny, without any dirty or poisonous color.

"Haha, I just said that there is nothing wrong with my things!"

Qin Guiren uttered triumphantly, seeing the more or less disappointed faces of the crowd, he snorted coldly in his heart, since he was favored by Emperor Ming, many people probably hated him long ago, but fortunately, he had already died before going out. It is confirmed that the soup is correct, otherwise, who would pour dirty water on himself for no reason.

The imperial doctor sighed, and the queen also frowned deeply. Where did the poison come from?
Just when everyone was deep in thought, Shui Yanran suddenly covered her chest and exclaimed. Everyone followed her gaze and saw that the silvery white needle in the imperial doctor's hand revealed a faint The color is jet black, and the hair is dark.

"That's poison!"

I don't know who exclaimed, and everyone reflected it, and Qin Guiren's face turned pale instantly, like a thunderbolt, his eyes widened and he shook his head and shouted: "This is impossible.!This is absolutely impossible! "

Shui Yanran smiled coldly, pointed at her nose, and cursed: "You ignorant bitch, now that the evidence is in front of you, and you still have to argue, it's a waste of the emperor favoring you so much on weekdays, you are so wolf-hearted , dare to poison the emperor!"

The queen's face also changed, and her sharp phoenix eyes took a deep look at the pale-faced Qin Guiren, and immediately raised her hand to order.

"Give me a deposit first!"

Such a sudden inversion hit Qin Guiren's head hard like a slap in the face, her legs softened and she knelt down, moved her knees on the ground and moved in front of the queen, hurriedly grabbed the queen's dress and shook her head repeatedly.

"The empress is clearly aware! The concubine was wronged! How could the soup be poisonous? There must be a mistake!"

Qin Guiren begged for mercy with a bit of crying, and the imperial doctor immediately dipped some liquid in the soup bowl with his hand after the silver needle turned black, rubbed it with his fingertips, and placed it under the tip of his nose Sniffing deeply, the frown became tighter and tighter.

"I would like to report to the Empress, I just didn't understand why the silver needle didn't turn black immediately after it penetrated into the soup, now I have the answer."

The imperial doctor bowed his hands and said: "There is no poison in this bowl of soup, it is just boiled with two flavors that counteract each other. These two flavors are not poisonous, but they will poison the user if they are eaten together. Eat poison!"

The queen's sharp eyes swept Qin Guiren's body, and asked, "Which two things are they?"

"Chrysanthemum and chicken."

"Impossible! There is no chicken in Bengong's soup, it's clearly fish!"

Qin Guiren yelled, gnashing his teeth and pointing at the imperial doctor and cursing angrily: "You quack doctor, you are obviously not skilled in medicine, but you want to bite me indiscriminately, what poison and what can't be eaten together, you must have made up your own nonsense!
