Chapter 339: Blame
Qianxiao still doesn't understand Xiao Wanyao's way of behaving in the world, but she is not the kind of stupid person, if she is such a person, then how can the shrewd emperor be so attentive to her? Presumably she has something unique about her, and she may be stronger than others.
So he didn't say anything, and waited here with Xiao Wanyao for Xue Tianao to come back.
The night was a little dark, but the little eunuch who had asked several times came back and said that the emperor was still discussing things with the imperial doctor.
Xiao Wanyao's stomach was already hungry and couldn't stand it, she sat in the hall, crawling on the table weakly, supporting her chin with one hand, "When will the emperor come back?" β
She couldn't help but let out such an exclamation, did she have to wait until she was a corpse to come back? Seeing her appearance, Qianxiao walked to the door and ordered the little palace maid who was guarding outside, then returned to her and said with a smile, "Miss Yanran, wait a little longer, I'll be back in a while." β
I had no choice but to wait. Xiao Wanyao let out a long sigh.
Soon the little palace maid outside came in with a plate of dim sum, and after Qian Xiao took it from her hand, she asked her to go down and come to Xiao Wanyao's side, she had already sat up and was eager to try the plate of dim sum.
"The emperor may not be able to come back until later, if Miss Yanran is hungry, let's eat some snacks first." Qian Xiao put the plate of dim sum on the table.
Xiao Wanyao smiled, "Thank you, Miss Qianxiao." Don't worry, I promise not to eat much, and when I eat later, I will let the emperor look at me as if I hadn't eaten. Before she finished speaking, Xiao Wanyao had already taken the pen and www.biquge.info her heart to eat.
Speaking of this whole day, when Xiao Wanyao left Taihe Palace in the morning, she ate something with Xue Tianao, and then slept in Orchid Xuan, and she didn't eat anything until now, and she was already hungry.
At this time, the little palace maid outside walked in, and Qianxiao saw her turn around and walk to the door, "What's the matter?" Is the emperor back? β
The little palace maid replied, "The emperor is still on Ji Guiren's side and has not returned, but Doctor Le from the Imperial Pharmacy said outside the palace that he wanted to find Miss Yanran, saying that there is something very important and he must see her in person." β
Qian Xiao paused slightly, and before she could speak, Xiao Wanyao had already stepped forward, "Doctor Le is outside the palace?" β
The little palace maid nodded, at this time, Doctor Le should have already changed shifts and left the palace, why is he still here? And he came directly to Taihe Palace to find himself, it must be because of something very important, otherwise he would not have come here.
"Then let him in! There must be something important to say. Xiao Wanyao said, although she is just a little medicine girl, but because of Xue Tianao's pampering, her status is very special, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace dare not ignore her.
Just when the little palace maid turned around to go out, Xiao Wanyao suddenly stopped her, "Don't go, I'd better go over." It's faster this way. Then he said to Qianxiao beside him, "If the emperor comes back, tell him where I went, and let him eat first." After speaking, without waiting for Qianxiao to speak, he hurriedly left the hall.
Doctor Le is just a doctor in the palace, and he will leave the palace directly after the shift change, and they are not allowed to stay in the palace unless there are special circumstances, which Xiao Wanyao knows very well. And Taihe Palace is not just anyone can come in.
Xiao Wanyao, who was far away, saw Doctor Le outside the palace gate anxiously hiding back and forth, a sense of foreboding suddenly struck, and when she walked in front of Doctor Le, Xiao Wanyao opened her mouth and asked, "Doctor Le, why are you still here at this time?" What are you looking for me for? β
In front of the guards of Taihe Palace, Doctor Le was inconvenient to speak, so he pulled Xiao Wanyao to a remote place and said anxiously, "Oh no, the people from the Inspectorate and Dali Temple went to the Imperial Pharmacy and sealed all of them, saying that they wanted to investigate the miscarriage of the noble Ji." β
Xiao Wanyao had a premonition that something was wrong, but she still had to figure out what was going on in front of her, "What does the matter of Ji Guiren's miscarriage have to do with our imperial pharmacy?" Why was the Imperial Pharmacy closed? Remembering what Qianxiao said before, Xue Tianao was also investigating the matter, as if someone suspected that there was something wrong with Ji Guiren's fetal pills.
Speaking of tocolytic pills, we have to involve the imperial pharmacy, "Do they think that the people from our imperial pharmacy have drugged the tocolytic medicine of Ji Guiren?" β
Looking at Doctor Le's noncommittal nod, Xiao Wanyao's brows furrowed even deeper, why not somewhere else, but the Imperial Pharmacy, this matter is aimed at herself. Could it be the person behind it?
"What now? The emperor is still discussing this matter with the imperial doctor, Ji Guiren is the daughter of the deputy director of the imperial hospital, she herself also knows a little about medical skills, she is a gentle person in the harem, and she has no enemies, and the pharmacy is also written for her by her father, and the medicinal materials are eaten by her hands. It stands to reason that there will be no problem. Dr. Le explained.
Xiao Wanyao worked hard to search for clues from these things and organize information, the daughter of the Tai Hospital became a concubine in the harem, and it must not be easy to put medicine in her bowl. Once something happens, Ji Tidian will definitely think that there is something wrong with the medicine, which is a common trick in the harem.
"The emperor is on the side of Ji Guiren, do you know? Do you know what's going on over there? Xiao Wanyao asked.
Doctor Le shook his head, "I don't know, I was also summoned in for questioning, so I'm still here." You are also from the imperial pharmacy, the reason why they didn't send you to ask questions is probably because the emperor helped you suppress it, but it is only a matter of time before they find you, not to mention that you helped her take it the few times Ji Guiren wants to take it. Dr. Le reminded.
He also hesitated for a long time before taking the risk of not leaving the palace to come here to inform her.
"I know Dr. Le, thank you for reminding me. You better get out of the palace quickly, if you let people with bad intentions see it, and maybe there will be any turmoil, leave this matter to me, and I will take care of it. Xiao Wanyao couldn't see any expression on her calm face.
Doctor Le looked at her indifferent expression and was a little stunned, he was so old and had experienced so many things, and this kind of thing that happened now made him anxious, but the woman in front of him looked unfazed.
He didn't say anything more, and reminded her that he had done his best to be benevolent, and it was in vain that she usually called him Master Le. In the future, it can only depend on their own blessings.
After Xiao Wanyao saw Doctor Le leave, she fell into deep thought, why is it the Imperial Pharmacy? And why her? Could it be that the people behind it are doing something?
Xiao Wanyao hesitated, and finally did not go to Ji Guiren, but returned to Taihe Palace in parts, Xue Tianao did not come back for so long, and the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple went, but they did not come to interrogate themselves, presumably because of Xue Tianao.
So she can only wait here for him to come back and see how things go.
After waiting for a long time in Taihe Palace, it was not until late at night that Xue Tianao came back with a tired face, seeing that his face was not good-looking, when he saw Xiao Wanyao, he was slightly stunned, but his brows did not stretch a little.
Originally, I wanted to say a few witty words, but I couldn't say anything when I saw his expression, and after the others retreated, Xue Tianao spoke, "You are still here, I ordered someone to let you go and rest first." β
Xiao Wanyao's face was calm, "How can I rest when this kind of thing happens, not to mention that you must have tried your best to suppress this matter for me on the side of the Imperial Doctor, at least I should give you an explanation." β
Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, and smiled indifferently, "I still can't escape your eyes, your mind is too meticulous." "I don't know if that's a compliment, or what. Xue Tianao sat down on the chair on one side with his tired body and let out a long sigh, "They suspect that you poisoned Ji Guiren's fetal pills. β
Xiao Wanyao smiled, "I expected it a long time ago." Ji Guiren's last few pairs of fetal pills were all caught by me, and it is natural to suspect me, so you don't have to worry about it. β
Xue Tianao glanced back at her and saw that she was still standing there, so he stretched out his hand, "Come here." β
Xiao Wanyao walked over quietly this time, Xue Tianao reached out to hug her waist and buried his head in her abdomen, "They said that you did this, and I don't believe it at all." But the old stubborn Imperial Physician Ji has already discovered a chronic poison from the fetal pills that Ji Guiren ate, so he must have been you. β
Xiao Wanyao looked down at him, gently stroked his head with her hand, and said comfortingly, "Why do you make yourself so tired, for me, you quarreled with the people in the Tai Hospital, right?" β
"Hmph, these people just don't take me seriously." Xue Tianao let go of Xiao Wanyao and said indignantly, "Sooner or later, one day I will catch their handle, and I will definitely teach them a lesson." β
looked at Xue Tianao's rare child-like face, and then smiled, "Ji Guiren is his daughter after all, whoever else would do the same, the emperor should not worry about Imperial Doctor Ji, there is no need to make a big deal about this matter, if you give me three days, I will definitely find out the murderer behind it." Naturally, they had nothing to say. β
Xue Tianao looked up at Xiao Wanyao, his eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked into a smile, "I knew that you would definitely do this." Therefore, I promised them in front of them that the murderer would be found in three days, and I specifically asked you to handle the matter. Imperial Doctor Ji promised that if this matter was really not yours, he would go to you to apologize. β
Xiao Wanyao laughed again, it seemed that Xue Tianao had already planned it, but now he looked relaxed, "Your expression was so heavy just now, didn't you pretend to lie to me?" I've been worried about you for a long time. β
Xue Tianao just smiled meaningfully, but he didn't say anything, "I'm hungry, and I haven't eaten yet." β
Xiao Wanyao only then reacted, "I made you something to eat, let Qianxiao be hot, and you can eat it right away." β
Xiao Wanyao stayed by her side when Xue Tianao was eating, "Why don't you eat?" β
"I've eaten it. If you come back at this time to eat, you will starve to death. Xiao Wanyao said with a smile.
"Three days is a short time, do you have a clue?" Xue Tianao asked.
"There is one point, but it still needs to be confirmed, so I won't talk about it for now. When the three-day deadline is up, it will naturally be understood. Xiao Wanyao said. She had a little idea in her mind now.
Seeing Xiao Wanyao say this, Xue Tianao didn't ask much, he wanted to know how Xiao Wanyao solved the case, he was naturally confident, but he wanted to see how capable she was.
Xiao Wanyao looked at Xue Tianao's eating, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, and her face gradually sank. Xue Tianao noticed her appearance and asked, "What's wrong?" Isn't there no confidence, so sighing? β
Chapter 340 Investigation of the case
Xiao Wanyao shook her head, "This matter is actually very simple, Ji Guiren's father is a imperial doctor, she is from a medical family, she must be quite familiar with herbal medicine, she is pregnant, so she will naturally be more careful when taking medicine." It's impossible for people outside to start lightly. β
She sighed not for these, although she would eat the vinegar of Xue Tianao's harem concubines, but this has become a fact and cannot be changed, but it is a pity that Xue Tianao wants to fall into this situation.
After all, it was Xue Tianao's child who died, after all, it was his loss, and she didn't want to see these things happen to Xue Tianao. In the previous life, when Tang Siqi was the emperor, the concubines in the harem were exhausted, because of the battle in the harem, how much family fun he lost, and how many things were kept in the dark.
Xue Tianao looked at her with a look of resentment and held her hand, "As long as you are still by my side, it doesn't matter if you are anything else." Some things still depend on fate after all, probably because the child and I have no fate. β
Xiao Wanyao looked at Xue Tianao, and for a moment felt that he was particularly indifferent, if he was really an emperor, he was playing with power, and he was afraid that he would not care about such a thing as feelings for a long time.
Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, just nodded lightly, even if she saw through the life in the palace and sympathized with these women in the harem, she still couldn't change anything. The only thing she can change is herself.
Choose your own lifestyle, choose your own freedom, and choose whether you will continue to love this man by your side.
It was already late at night after eating, seeing that Xue Tianao was fine, Xiao Wanyao planned to go back to Orchid Xuan to live, Xue Tianao insisted on keeping her, "Tianao, I still don't want to live here for the time being, after this incident, in fact, I can only be safer if I keep my distance from you." In this harem, whoever is the most favored is often the easiest to become a thorn in people's side. β
Xue Tianao saw her say this, so he didn't force him to stay, but he sent the palace guards to protect her safety, and also sent a little palace maid to sleep with her over there, Xiao Wanyao had to agree, if she didn't agree, I was afraid that Xue Tianao would not let her go at all.
Early the next morning, Xiao Wanyao came to Ji Xiangning's residence, and when she went, her personal maid stopped her, "Although the emperor sent you to investigate this case, you are still suspicious, so it's best not to get close to our mother." β
Accustomed to this kind of cold words, Xiao Wanyao looked disapproving, "I hope you go in and say back, I want to feed the noble Ji in person to take the pulse, this is what the emperor ordered, if the three-day time limit delays the emperor to kill the head of the next, I am afraid that I will never go to hell alone, maybe I will accidentally say who obstructs the case, if the emperor investigates it, presumably those people will not be able to escape." β
Xiao Wanyao's gentle and soft words, but the palace maid's face was blue and white, she just stopped her, okay, she was going to take herself to hell all of a sudden, the little palace maid looked at Xiao Wanyao again, no wonder she could confuse the emperor like that, it seems that she really has some ability.
The emperor's hat is really easy, "Since the girl said so, I hope the girl will wait a little again, and I will return to the mother." β
Xiao Wanyao still nodded with a gentle smile, and the little palace maid came out again soon after entering, "Miss Yanran, noble Ji, please come in and talk." β
Xiao Wanyao smiled, "Thank you." Then he walked in.
Ji Xiangning is still lying on the bed, and the confinement of the miscarriage has to be done well, leaning on a soft pillow behind her back, her face is a little pale, and her long black hair is scattered behind her, but she is obviously specially made up, and she looks pitiful and painful, which is a survival trick for women in the palace.
If you want the emperor to remember yourself, you have to pretend to be pitiful in front of him and strong in front of others. Anyway, no matter what, you can't live your true self.
"Slave and maid, see Ji Guiren! The emperor specially ordered the slaves and maids to investigate the case of Ji Guiren's miscarriage. "Xiao Wanyao is special in the eyes of everyone, and her identity is also special.
But her identity in this harem is just a small medicine girl, and there are some necessary etiquettes that must be followed.
Ji Guiren glanced at Yan Ran, who was kneeling on the ground, with some disgust between her eyebrows, after all, they suspected that she was the medicine she put in her medicine, but because she moved out of the emperor, and the emperor also personally said yesterday that he would let Yan Ran personally investigate the case, if she was embarrassed at the moment, she didn't know the general situation.
Then he said coldly, "Get up." Miss Yanran doesn't know where to start? β
Xiao Wanyao got up, "Can you let you take the pulse first, so that the slave knows what kind of medicine you have taken and had a miscarriage." β
Ji Xiang's eyes were still cold and arrogant, staring at Xiao Wanyao who was standing aside with disdain, compared to pretending to be docile in front of Xue Tianao before, it was like two people, "Miss Yanran, do you know that my father is the deputy point of the Tai Hospital, I was born in a medical family since I was a child, and my father had already checked my pulse before you came, if you want to know anything, you can ask directly." β
Xiao Wanyao paused, she seemed very calm about her refusal, and the little palace maid who was about to open her mouth to stop her just now preemptively said, "Miss Yanran is just a little doctor, it's far worse than the doctor in the Tai Hospital, I'm afraid that you can't take the pulse and can't tell the condition of Ji Guiren, so let's just say it." β
Ji Xiangning glanced at the palace maid and stole a look of appreciation, and then the eyes of the two of them invariably stopped at Xiao Wanyao.
Xiao Wanyao sneered in her heart, she had never done anything, and she had become a thorn in the side of the harem, and they couldn't wait to see that they were unlucky. But forget it, just for Xue Tianao, she endured it.
"This is the emperor's order, even if the slave maid is just a little medicine girl, but she still has to obey the emperor's order. Otherwise, it will be difficult to go back, and if Ji Guiren is implicated at this time, it will be the sin of the slave. β
used the emperor to press her again, which made Ji Guiren grit his teeth fiercely, isn't it just that he is spoiled by the emperor, and a little doctor girl dares to use the emperor to press the concubines in the harem, but don't forget that you are not even a master now, hum, feng shui takes turns, and there are times when you suffer.
"Since the emperor wants to do this, then Miss Yanran will come over to check the pulse." Ji Xiangning said coldly.
Xiao Wanyao knew that she was not happy, but she had to do it, she lowered her head slightly and didn't look at her expression, anyway, she didn't have to look to know what it was like. Why bother to make yourself unhappy. She had already seen these things.
Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, lowered her head and began to take Ji Xiangning's pulse, after checking the pulse, Ji Xiangning asked a few questions, Xiao Wanyao answered them all like fluently, the same as what Imperial Doctor Ji said when she took the pulse here, and even more she said it in great detail and understood it very clearly.
"This is a chronic poison, and it is said that it is poison, but it is not a big problem for the body, and the reason why I say this is because it is an abortion drug, and it is used more by the people. There is no such medicine in the harem at all, and there is no one in the imperial pharmacy. Someone must have brought it in from outside the palace. Xiao Wanyao said simply.
looked at Ji Xiangning's expression, and said again, "Presumably Ji Guiren should also know this herb." Then there is no need to say more about the slave and maid. I'm going to go to the imperial pharmacy to have a look, so I won't disturb the rest of the Ji nobles. β
After saying the salute, he left.
Ji Xiang stared at the back of Xiao Wanyao leaving for a moment, and then Yueyou, the personal palace maid on the side, said, "This is like don't look at the surface docile and obedient, there is a sense of arrogance in her bones, hmph, don't you just change to spoil her, and no one cares about her." β
Ji Xiang came back to her senses, always feeling that this was not an ordinary person, and then looked at Yueyou, "Be careful when you get along with this Yanran in the future, and since she is not polite to us, there is no need to sneer at her." β
Yueyou was suddenly stunned, she was speaking for her, as if she had said something wrong, "Ji Guiren, why are you talking to her, even if the emperor likes her, at most, he likes her appearance, how much ability can she have." β
"Do what I say, where is so much nonsense." Ji Xiangning glanced at her coldly, then turned over and lay down and stopped talking.
After Xiao Wanyao left Ji Guiren's place, she went directly to the imperial pharmacy and flipped through the records of taking medicine at the imperial pharmacy. At this moment, Doctor Le was also there, and he seemed to be very worried, but he didn't tell Xiao Wanyao, if he had come up to talk to her on weekdays.
Xiao Wanyao knew very well in her heart that when she encountered this kind of thing, wise people would choose to protect themselves, so she didn't blame him and did her own thing. After checking the records of the Imperial Pharmacy, I didn't find anything suspicious.
It's just that every time she comes to get the medicine, it is Ji Xiangning's personal palace maid Yueyou, the last few times she has taken the medicine, she definitely didn't do anything with the medicine, so the only possibility is that Yueyou moved after leaving the imperial pharmacy with the medicine.
I saw that Ji Xiangning was a very cautious person just now, and he was in a medical family, so he would definitely send someone to do this kind of thing. So there are only two possibilities, one is that Yueyou has done something to the medicine, and the other possibility is that other ladies in the palace have done something.
It's just so bold to poison the medicine directly, it's really the first time, aren't you afraid that you will really find out on your head?
Xiao Wanyao left the imperial pharmacy, frowning thoughtfully as she walked, just by directly poisoning her, Xiao Wanyao ruled out the suspicion of Yueyou, she was not stupid enough to be this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, after all, she was Ji Xiangning's personal palace maid, and she knew that Ji Xiangning was from a medical family, so it was impossible for her to poison Ji Xiangning.
Then it is likely to be someone from another palace, in recent times, Ji Xiangning has been deeply detected, and she rarely gets along with other concubines, and this kind of thing is done in her own palace, which also shows that Ji Xiangning is very cautious in doing things, she doesn't trust others and won't drink other people's medicine.
Therefore, the person who was drugged must have entered her palace.
Walking and walking, Xiao Wanyao suddenly stopped, speaking of which, she has been in this palace for a long time, but she has not personally visited the concubines in the palace, it seems that something has been done this time.
After thinking about it, Xiao Wanyao came to Ji Xiangning's palace again, asked her personal palace maid for the residue left by Ji Xiangning's fetal pills, and left directly.
After Xiao Wanyao left, she did not find the kind of medicine she thought of from the residue, so in fact, the other party did not directly attack the fetal medicine, but only put in the powdered poison after the fetal medicine was boiled.
She took a deep breath, Yueyou was in charge of boiling the medicine, and after boiling it, she would give it to Ji Xiangning to drink, and the poison is a chronic poison, and you need to eat it every time you drink the medicine to see the effect, so how did she do it? R1154
