Chapter 1529 The Man Who Gave Power to Everyone in the Harem
Only a few times, when the empress was involved, he would take time out of his busy schedule to weigh the affairs of the court and the harem.
But now, the emperor actually summoned the concubine to Zhongcui Palace. Could it be that this is to uphold justice for Concubine Yi and support Concubine Yi?
A while later, Ruoyin wore a mint-colored flag dress and went to Zhongcui Palace without makeup.
When they arrived at Zhongcui Palace, the harem concubines also arrived one after another.
After so many years of deep palace experience, everyone knows that it is necessary to dress modestly and elegantly at this time.
If you wear red and green, you will definitely be scolded and cry by the emperor's poisonous tongue!
Even Wu Changzai, who was indiscriminately dressed regardless of the occasion in the early years, was also wearing a taupe-colored flag suit.
Moreover, the eyes of several concubines were red with tears in their eyes.
If you don't know, you really think they have a deep affection for Concubine Yi and sisters.
But Ruoyin just glanced at them wiping their eyes with handkerchiefs, and knew that the handkerchiefs were soaked in onion juice.
Thinking that Fourth Master was going to visit Zhongcui Palace in person, she didn't sit at the top, but sat at the bottom with the concubines.
Not long after, fourth master arrived at Zhongcui Palace with a cold face and serious expression.
When the concubines saw the bright yellow figure at the door, they immediately saluted with blessings.
The man pursed his thin lips and frowned.
He ignored the salutations of the concubines and sat down directly on the head.
When looking down at the head, it seems to be looking down at the world and all life.
Seeing this, Ruoyin smiled mockingly.
This man who used to give power to everyone in the harem for her sake.
Now for other women, show power to her and all the concubines in the harem.
After fourth master arrived, the already quiet atmosphere in the room became even quieter.
The handsome face that was used to indifference, was extremely terrifying when it was ignited, he ignited the air around him and even the entire Zhongcui Palace.
The Zhongcui Palace in the middle of the night was surprisingly quiet.
The cold air tore the heartbeat of everyone, making people hold their breath and dare not breathe.
At this moment, several people came in from outside.
Among them, several imperial physicians and imperial physicians were also there, as well as several court ladies.
After a court lady was brought in, she knelt in the middle facing the fourth master and wept.
"Your Majesty, after dinner last night, my master started to interfere with his throat and suffered from heartburn. However, at that time, the master thought it was caused by the change of seasons, so he didn't care. Until he woke up in the morning, The sheets were covered in blood."
The person who said this was Concubine Yi's personal maid.
Hearing this, Ruoyin frowned.
She asked the Department of Punishment to investigate, just out of her status as a queen, just to make sense of it.
It never occurred to her that someone really framed Concubine Yi.
Ruoyin looked at fourth master, only to see fourth master beckon to Su Peisheng,
Su Peisheng glanced at Feng Yuyi again, and Feng Yuyi took a step forward, "Your Majesty, during the day, the slaves and colleagues in the Imperial Hospital discovered that Concubine Yi was not just having a miscarriage, but her symptoms were more like those caused by poisoning. small production, "
"So, I checked Concubine Yi's meals and found that in the cold daylily that Concubine Yi ate last night, besides the cold yellow flower, there was also fresh yellow flower juice."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present frowned.
Because ordinary people know that fresh yellow flowers are poisonous.
Even if you cook fresh goldenrod with care, it is easy to be poisoned.
This is why everyone is used to eating dried yellow flowers.
Sure enough, Doctor Feng continued: "Fresh yellow flowers are extremely poisonous, but they are usually non-toxic after drying. Fresh yellow flowers contain a lot of toxins, which can cause a series of poisoning symptoms such as dry throat, burning stomach, and hematuria."
"In addition, as the maid said, Concubine Yi ate poisonous day lily last night, thinking that she got angry, so she took a rest. When she woke up in the morning, although there was blood on the quilt, most of it was hematuria, and this, It was also the cause of her miscarriage."
"And now it's the season for picking yellow flowers. The stamens of fresh yellow flowers are the place where the toxins are most abundant. In the cold yellow flowers served by Concubine Yi, the fresh yellow flower juice is made from the stamens and poured on top. It is mixed with cold salad When the yellow flower is mixed, it neutralizes its aroma and taste, and it is difficult to detect."
Hearing this, Concubine Yi's maid suddenly realized: "My mother knows the nutrition of yellow flowers, and she likes to eat yellow flowers in cold sauce. Who would have thought that she would be poisoned by someone, but we all used silver needles to test the poison beforehand, and the maids tasted it first. passed."
Physician Feng: "The poison of day lily cannot be tested with silver needles, and everyone's physique is different, and the reaction to eating it is also different. Some people just vomit slightly, and some people just have stomach discomfort. Maybe just sleep. but some people will die from it.”
"Concubine Yi is already weak and malnourished because she is pregnant with twins. Maybe the court lady didn't react much after tasting it, but she was able to have a miscarriage because of it."
Hearing this, the maid seemed to think of something, "After hearing what you said, I just remembered that the maid who tested the poison for my mother yesterday said that she had a cold stomach, and now it seems that she just ate yellow flowers in cold salad."
While talking, the maid kowtowed to the fourth master and said: "Your Majesty, someone must be jealous of my empress' promotion to the concubine position and she is pregnant with twins, so they want to murder my empress, and ask the emperor to make decisions for your empress!"
Fourth master naturally wouldn't talk to the maid.
However, since he was able to summon all the concubines to Zhongcui Palace, it must be that the Department of Punishment has found out something.
Fourth master held his lips, and ordered lightly: "Let the head of the Punishment Department come in."
"Hey." After Su Peisheng responded, he stood behind Fourth Master, and said sharply to the door: "The head of the Xuan Shen Punishment Department has entered the hall."
After a while, the head of the Punishment Department came in. It was a middle-aged man, followed by several officials. They escorted a court lady, and an eunuch came in.
When these people came in, Ruoyin glanced at the concubines.
I noticed that their nervous eyes had changed.
Some of them became even more nervous after seeing them.
And some eyes are surprised.
This caused Ruoyin to look at the maid and eunuch again.
Taking a closer look, the maids and eunuchs who came in seemed familiar.
But there were too many servants in the palace, and she couldn't remember which palace they worked in.
After the two servants came in, they knelt down in the hall facing the fourth master.
The head of the Punishment Department Daqian reported the matter to the fourth master: "Your Majesty, after the inspection by the slaves, this maid is the maid next to Qin promised. And this eunuch is the steward of Concubine Yi's palace."
"Because Qin promised to get close to Concubine Yi recently and often visit Concubine Yi in Zhongcui Palace, the two of them fell in love privately."
Hearing this, Qin promised to sit still.
She immediately got up, walked to the middle, and knelt down to the fourth master, "Your Majesty, this servant is innocent. The servant just saw that Concubine Yi was not feeling well and was recuperating in bed, so he often visited her in Zhongcui Palace and talked with her." , without a single thought.”
