Man is frightened by ignorance.

The nurse's whole body is like a sieve, the eldest princess is now unnamed, no one knows what she eats, and her hand that stretches out for the snack can barely pick it up.

"Your Majesty. The queen said, "All the concubines present have eaten the things on this table, and if there is poison, the eldest princess will not be the only one who is unwell." ”

Qi Zongwen glared at her coldly, "Then what do you want to say, how did the eldest princess become like this?"

"She is a small child, with a happy birthday, and suffered such an unjustified disaster, is it that she brought it on herself?" Qi Zongwen said angrily.

The queen immediately knelt down.

The rest of the people quickly knelt down as well.

The two imperial physicians in the palace came out and began to inspect the food on the table, and in the frightened silence, they first tested the poison with a silver needle, and then tasted it with their mouths, and the whole process lasted two quarters of an hour, because the concubines had been kneeling, and the imperial doctors could only kneel to carry out their movements.

"Back to Your Majesty, the food on the table is normal. The Imperial Doctor arched his hand.

"Call the Uchiji, and everyone present will give me a careful examination. Qi Zongwen said coldly.

The rest of the people didn't dare to speak out, Qin Yun had no choice but to speak, now that the princes and princesses of the sect are here, if they search the concubines in front of them, the women will be faceless, will Your Majesty have brilliance?

"Your Majesty. Qin Yunyi raised his head and said, "The concubine once saw a person, obviously everyone eats harmless food, he will feel uncomfortable when he eats it, and a rash will immediately appear around his mouth." So I made a bold guess that maybe Princess Celestia didn't eat something poisonous, but something that didn't fit in with her. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine really can't believe that there will be people in His Majesty's harem who deliberately hurt the eldest princess. ”

Qi Zongwen looked at the Imperial Doctor, "Is there such a statement?"

"The medical books don't say that. "But in fact, there are people who die after drinking enough alcohol to kill them, and it may be related to each person's body and not suitable for this food." ”

The slave remembered. The nurse suddenly figured out the joint, and hurriedly said, "When the eldest princess was young, if the nurse ate peanuts, the eldest princess would immediately turn red on the side of her mouth after drinking milk, and then have a fever, and the doctor couldn't diagnose why, but as long as you don't eat peanuts, you'll be fine." ”

After that, Concubine Xian and the eldest princess were not allowed to have peanuts around them, for fear that the eldest princess would eat them by mistake. The nurse said, "The birthday banquet of the eldest princess was organized by the eldest princess, and the slave remembered that when the British concubine came to ask the eldest princess what the requirements were at the birthday banquet, she told her that there must be no peanuts on the table." ”

Qi Zongwen looked at the table, and there were indeed no peanuts on it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. "Concubine Jiang is about to faint," there was a fairy bean cake on the table, sweet and delicious, when the eldest princess came to the concubine, the concubine fed her half of it. ”

"But the concubine, the concubine doesn't know that the eldest princess can't eat peanuts, otherwise if she gives the concubine a few more guts, the concubine won't dare to give her food. ”

There are also Luo Concubine, Huang Jieyu and others said in trembling voices, they have also fed the eldest princess fairy bean cake, "The concubine just saw that the eldest princess liked it, but I really didn't expect such serious consequences." ”

Qi Zongwen pointed to the fairy bean cake, Han Xing immediately picked up a plate of fairy bean cake from the concubine's table, Qi Zongwen picked up one, there was no peanut smell at first smell, but there was a peanut fragrance after chewing a few bites.

"Concubine Ying!" Qi Zongwen looked at her, "What's the matter?"

Concubine Ying bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, the concubine really doesn't know, no one has told the concubine." ”

The nurse was anxious, "Niangniang said at the time that because it was Concubine Ying Niangniang who came to prepare for the banquet, don't talk too much so as not to make it difficult for Concubine Ying, Luoying Palace came to Caique Girl, and the slave maid told her face to face, the eldest princess can't eat peanuts, don't have peanuts at the banquet, or peanuts are good." ”

"Where's that sparrow?" Qi Zongwen asked angrily.

A person crawled out of the kneeling palace maid, and Caique buried her head deeply in the ground, "The slave and maid have explained to the inner dining room, but the slave and maid don't know why peanut products appear on the banquet?"

"Come on, go and press me all the people who are in charge of the banquet in Wanchun Palace today. Qi Zongwen drank.

The queen whispered, "Your Majesty, since no one has poisoned you, let's deal with the next matter behind closed doors, and the princesses are still kneeling below." ”

Qi Zongwen glanced at Qin Yunyi, "You all get up." Then he flicked his sleeves and said, "I'm going to see how Princess Celestia is." ”

The queen stood up and said to the princesses who were kneeling at the bottom of the position, "It was a happy thing, please come into the palace to congratulate, but I didn't expect such a situation to happen." ”

"The eldest princess is a celestial person, she will definitely be fine. Princess Yi said.

There is no need to say much about such a scene, after the prince and princess left the table, the queen beckoned the concubines into the palace, "The night breeze is cold, let's go into the palace and say." ”

"Mother, I really don't know. "Concubine Ying is in a hurry, it's all the people under her who do things, report it to her, where did she manage so many bits and pieces.

"Don't say anything now. The queen said, "It all depends on your majesty's will." ”

The eldest princess's condition is better, but it still looks very serious, her hoarse voice can't cry anymore, she waved her hands not to drink any more water, her forehead was sweaty, and Concubine Xian endured her heartache and coaxed her, "Good boy, drink a little more, just drink more water." ”

The closed mouth was pinched open, and water was poured into it, and half a bowl was spit out after drinking.

"Is there no other way?" Qi Zongwen couldn't bear to look at it.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Imperial Physician Zhou's forehead, "Then, stop for a moment and look after a quarter of an hour." ”

"This kind of emergency of eating bad things, as long as it is dealt with immediately, can be slowly recuperated after that. ”

"Three more bowls. Concubine Xian's eyes were firm, "Drink one more bowl, and the eldest princess will have more hope of recovery." "She is the mother who feels the most sorry for her children, the person who wants to protect her the most, and the person who is the most hard-hearted.

Qi Zongwen couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he came to the main hall to sit.

Concubine Ying knelt down as soon as she entered the hall, "Your Majesty, the concubine is really innocent." ”

Qin Yunyi glanced at her without a trace, stupid, you all know that the birthday banquet of the eldest princess was prepared by you, at this time, you only gritted your teeth and took the mistake, Your Majesty punished the person who did the work, and you can also raise it high and put it down gently, and the virtuous concubine will not hate you in her heart.

If you shirk it now, Your Majesty doesn't like it, and Concubine Xian will hate you in her heart.

"What about the people from the Inner Catering Division, they haven't arrived yet?" Qi Zongwen didn't look at her at all, only frowned and asked.

The queen lowered her eyes and knelt in front of Concubine Ying, "Everything in the harem should be the queen's responsibility, Concubine Ying wanted to share the worries of the concubine a few days ago, and today her negligence caused a big mistake, and it was also the fault of the concubine's lax supervision." ”

"The concubine is willing to be punished for Concubine Ying. ”

The rest of the people saw that the queen knelt down again, and they didn't know whether to kneel or not, so they all went to peek at the concubine, but the concubine didn't have the slightest intention of kneeling, only to see her step into the hall, but the others didn't dare to follow in, and after looking at each other, they quietly found an inconspicuous place to kneel.

Qi Zongwen only sneered, "Okay, when the investigation is clear, you two sisters will be punished together." ”

The people in the internal catering department are all fat heads and big ears, and they are sweating all the way, and after kneeling down, they can still hear the heavy gasps one after another.

Qi Zongwen's eyebrows tightened, and he motioned to Han Xing, "You go and ask." ”

Han Xing stood in front of them, "I answered honestly in front of Your Majesty, the eldest princess ate the things at the banquet today, and she made a bad mistake, if you can't find out who made the mistake, don't think about it!"

Seven or eight people kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Your Majesty Mingjian, the small ones are on duty in the dining room, the things at the entrance, they can't be sloppy at all, they have to be searched before entering the dining room, and they can't be entrained at all, and the things in the dining room are all according to the list the day before yesterday, and the inner treasury is ordered and sent over, and the small ones don't interfere." ”

"There are also people who try things out of the dining room. With tears in his eyes, the little manager said, "I really don't know what went wrong!"

Qi Zongwen asked him, "You can't have peanuts in Wanchun Palace, do you know about this?"

"Yes. The little manager said clearly with a crying voice, "The entire internal catering department knows that the virtuous concubines of Wanchun Palace have sent people to the dining room since they entered the palace to explain, and the virtuous concubines in Wanchun Palace, the eldest princess, the nurse of the eldest princess, these people must not have peanuts in their diets." ”

"The masters don't eat peanuts, and the palace maids and eunuchs of Wanchun Palace don't have peanuts in their diets. ”

"You know. Qi Zongwen slapped the table, "Why is there a snack made of peanuts at the birthday banquet of the eldest princess?"

The little manager whimpered and lay on the ground, "It's all the fault of the little ones." ”

"There are two kinds of fillings in this fairy bean cake, one is made of black beans, mung beans, kidney beans, flower beans, and peanuts, and the other is a mixture of red beans and taro, knowing that it is the birthday wine of the eldest princess. ”

"Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense. Caique screamed, "When the slave went to the kitchen to submit the menu, he obviously told him that he didn't want peanuts, but now he is beating a rake. ”

"Concubine Ying likes to eat five-bean paste, won't she call it in Luoying Palace? Caique stared at the little manager, wanting him to confess the crime, "The daughter of the great general of Concubine Ying, is she such a short-sighted person?"

The little manager kowtowed again and again, this matter has to be taken down, and a few of them can't escape, although they are also afraid of Concubine Ying's revenge, but if they carry it now, they will die directly," When the Caique girl sent the menu, she specially named this fairy bean cake, because the fairy bean cake is time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, and ordinary banquets will not choose such a pastry. ”

"The little one who saw the five-bean paste written on the menu asked the girl, this Wanchun Palace does not use peanuts, is it invaginated and replaced with taro, the Caique girl said no, the mother likes the five-bean paste, Wanchun Palace does not use peanuts, if you don't eat it, there are so many dishes and snacks on the table, do you have to use this dish?"

"The small one can't be small, the fairy bean cake at the banquet made two kinds of filling, the virtuous concubine and the eldest princess used taro filling, and the other mothers used five-bean filling. ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I've brought this small menu too. The little manager took out the hard book from his arms, "There is a difference between this invagination, and it must be noted after the name, it is really not a small nonsense." ”
