Chapter Ninety-Six: The Poisoning Incident

The lights in the Anning Palace were bright, and the cries of the palace maids came intermittently, which sounded a little desolate.

Entering Yuan Xiang's bedroom, she was half-lying on the bed, coughing desperately, the blood-stained handkerchief on the ground was thrown to the ground, and the wooden tripod containing garbage was already full.

"What's going on? Didn't Hongu prescribe medicine? Why is this happening? Ye Aoxue hurriedly asked.

The palace maid who handed over the side dish book before cried and cried: "Is the prescription prescribed by the concubine Niangniang useless?" After drinking it, our mother-in-law not only did not get better, but became stricter. ”

"Impossible!" Ye Aoxue walked to Yuan Xiang's side categorically, checked her pulse, and frowned slightly, "The medicine is wrong, who is the medicine?" ”

"The little apprentice of the imperial physician of the Tai Hospital, it seems to be a ...... surnamed Liu," the palace maid cried and said.

"Go and call him!" Ye Aoxue commanded the palace maid loudly.

"The hospital is too far away from here, it's too late to find that little guy, and the mother can't do it when she sees it......" Another palace maid next to her cried and said.

Ye Aoxue turned her head and glanced at Yuan Xiang, who was still bleeding from the corner of her mouth, although she didn't want to save her, there were so many people now, but she had to find a way to come out.

And at this moment, the little servant shouted outside that the emperor had arrived, and everyone looked out of the door.

Chu Litian, who was wearing a dark golden robe, hurriedly walked in from the outside, passed by Ye Aoxue, and walked straight to Yuan Xiang's bedside, the anxiety on his face was clearly visible.

"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" Chu Litian asked the people around him with concern.

"Originally, the imperial doctor prescribed medicine, but the concubine Niangniang directly said that those medicines were useless, so she re-prescribed them, but our mothers didn't get better at all after taking those medicines, but became more strict, and now they can't do it......" One of the palace maids closest to Chu Litian stopped crying and answered Chu Litian.

"Did you go and get a doctor?" The anxiety on Chu Litian's face was something Ye Aoxue had never seen before, and he even ignored himself.

"Your Majesty, please, but the road is far and it's dark, I'm afraid I won't come back so soon." The palace maid was a little trembling and picked up Chu Litian's words.

Chu Litian looked at Ye Aoxue angrily: "What medicine did you prescribe to her?!" ”

"The ones I prescribe are all good medicines, I have left a list, you can see which one of those lists is poison!" Ye Aoxue was also a little angry, and there was some jealousy in this anger.

"Where's the list?" Chu Litian didn't fully trust her, but asked her for a prescription.

Ye Aoxue was so blocked by him that she had nothing to say, and took out a list from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Litian.

Chu Litian took it and took a closer look, his eyebrows stretched slightly: "This prescription is no problem, who prepared the medicine?" ”

"Imperial Physician Wang's little apprentice." The little palace maid stood up and walked to Chu Litian's side, glanced at the prescription, and muttered, "Your Majesty, there is one thing that the slave maid doesn't know whether to say or not. ”

"Just say it!"

"The slave maid just glanced at the prescription that the concubine gave to the emperor, and it seems to be different from what the mother wrote yesterday." The palace maid said timidly.

"What do you mean?!" Ye Aoxue looked at the palace maid angrily, and the pupils of her eyes instantly dilated.

The palace maid was frightened and cried, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "If the slave maid has anything to offend the mother, please ask the slave to settle accounts with the slave in the future, but the slave and the maid are all interested in Xiangfei Niangniang, I really dare not lie, this prescription is indeed different from the prescription prescribed by the mother yesterday, although the slave is illiterate, but still recognize the difference between the same and the different, if the slave does not believe the slave maid, you can ask him when the apprentice of the imperial physician comes." ”

"You fart!" Ye Aoxue roared angrily, "This prescription in this palace is exactly the same as the previous prescription, how can it be the same?" ”

"Don't worry, you'll see when that little guy comes." Chu Litian said in a deep voice, and seemed to agree with the palace maid's words in his heart.

Ye Aoxue glared at Chu Litian angrily: "What do you mean?" Don't believe me? I have no grievances with her, what do I do to her? ”

"Guifei Niangniang said this with a clear conscience? Before, Niangniang and our Niangniang fought in the room, our Niangniang was injured by you, Niangniang was peaceful in nature, and she didn't want to cause more trouble, so she didn't sue the emperor, the concubine Niangniang said so now, the slave and maid really can't see it! The palace maid who had just filed the complaint added another fire and prepared to burn the fire.

Ye Aoxue is angry, is she the one who is being bullied? What was seriously injured? Is this a foreshadowing made in advance to frame her? Thinking of this, Ye Aoxue felt that something was wrong, but where the matter was, she couldn't tell for a while.

"When did this happen?" Chu Litian looked at Ye Aoxue suspiciously, and then at the palace maid.

"It's been a while, but since the concubine Niangniang bullied our mother, our mother's spirit has been a little sluggish, and her body is not good, and now the concubine Niangniang doesn't let our mother drink the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but prescribes medicine for the mother to drink, and the mother doesn't see good after drinking, and the slave has to suspect that the concubine has poisoned our mother!"

"You slave dare to talk like this to this palace!" Ye Aoxue scolded angrily, "What kind of thing is Yuan Xiang! If Bengong wants to kill her, there is no need to poison her! ”

"Ye Aoxue, how can you say such a thing? As the lord of the six houses, is it appropriate for you to say such things? Chu Litian was a little unhappy.

The palace maid cried again: "Your Majesty, you see, the noble concubine is so presumptuous in front of you, not to mention how deceitful she is when she meets with our mother in private, our mother is gentle and doesn't want to mess with the emperor, you know, but why shouldn't it end up like this!" The palace maid pretended to be pitiful again, as if Ye Aoxue was like a tigress, and she and the concubine could eat her.

Originally, Ye Aoxue still wanted to save Yuan Xiang's life with her own blood, but seeing Chu Litian's eyes that distrusted her so much, and the strong condemnation of the palace maid's crying, she suddenly didn't want to save it, and let that woman die, anyway, that woman had seriously injured her, and staying in the palace was also a scourge.

At this moment, Imperial Physician Wang, Imperial Physician Liu, Imperial Physician Li, and their apprentices arrived panting.

Chu Litian asked Ah Tie, the little apprentice of Imperial Physician Wang, for the prescription written by Ye Aoxue, and it was a pair of prescriptions in his hand, and he saw that there was a prescription that had indeed been changed, but it was also an ordinary Chinese medicine, not a poison.

Imperial Physician Wang also took the prescription and looked at it, and was shocked: "This ...... Who prescribes this? It's just harming people! ”

"I drove it." Ye Aoxue said lightly, "But there is one of them that I didn't write." ”

"Aoxue? You wouldn't prescribe this kind of medicine, it's a poison that kills people in one pot, you won't do that. Imperial Physician Wang said very firmly.

Ye Aoxue glanced at Chu Litian coldly: "It seems that my master's trust in me is much more than your trust in me. ”

"Take a good look for yourself, it's not your word whose word it is!" Chu Litian took the prescription and put it in front of Ye Aoxue.

Ye Aoxue took a closer look, the prescription that had been replaced was exactly the same as hers, but she would never write such a harmful prescription.

Looking at Ye Aoxue's shocked expression, Chu Litian said helplessly: "What else do you have to say?" Aoxue, you shouldn't be like this, I don't know what kind of hatred you have with Xiang'er, but Xiang'er is not a person who will cause trouble-"

"You mean, I provoked the thing? Is it because I have a deep hatred with Yuan Xiang? Ye Aoxue stared at Chu Litian directly, refusing to let go of the slightest detail.

"What words are you still picking up so far?" Chu Litian sighed a little.

"That word isn't Aoxue's." Just when everyone was deadlocked, the voice of ingots suddenly came from the door.

Ye Aoxue turned his head to look, and behind him was a middle-aged man about forty years old, who knelt on the ground as soon as he came in.

"Tell me for yourself." Yuan Bao said coldly.

"Villain...... The villain is also trying to have food and clothing, the villain has a seventy-year-old mother, a baby who is still in swaddling clothes, and his wife is frail and sickly, so he has to do this kind of thing as a last resort! The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground said tremblingly.

"Make it clear."

"It's a girl, who said that she was the daughter of the palace in the palace, and asked me to copy a person's handwriting to write a prescription, villain...... The villain also brought that base slip. As he spoke, the middle-aged man trembled and handed over a list.

Chu Litian took it and looked at it, it was exactly the same as the one that Ah Tie gave him just now, and compared it with Ye Aoxue's bottom list, and determined that this was indeed the copying handwriting, but because the copied words were few and twelve points similar, he didn't see it, and now it can be seen very clearly.

"Where did you find him?" Ye Aoxue asked Yuanbao in a low voice.

"I just found it anyway." Yuan Bao kicked the man, "Who asked you to come and copy the handwriting?" Isn't this palace maid? ”

He pointed to the palace maid who had been accusing Ye Aoxue.

The middle-aged man glanced at it and shook his head: "It's not her." ”

"Who's that?"

"This ...... The palace daughters are all equally beautiful, and the villain really can't tell the difference, but the palace maid gave the villain a gold ingot, and the gold is engraved with a few words for you to see. ”

Chu Litian took the gold, and there were two words engraved on the base of the gold - dead wood.

This is Dead Wood Yan's thing, and his brows furrowed: "Go and call Yan Concubine!" ”

"If you pursue it like this, it's better to save people first." Saying that, Yuan Bao walked to Yuan Xiang's bedside and took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, "This is our family's ancestral life-sustaining pill, even if a person who has just died eats this, he can come back to life, but the next maintenance depends on the doctors." ”

Ye Aoxue was displeased, and asked him with a heart: "Why did you save her?" ”

"The master has an order, and I don't know why." Yuan Bao replied to Ye Aoxue in a low voice.
