Chapter 587: Dilemma
Rong Xi had already thought of a countermeasure, and seeing that the emperor really asked, she raised her finger and pointed to the jade bowl that still had a little residual medicinal liquid and said, "Father, the son thinks that it is more appropriate to let the imperial doctor test that bowl to see if it really contains that kind of medicine." â
Rong Xi's words were clear, Wei Guifei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at the beginning she was worried that if Rong Xi stood on her side and spoke, according to the emperor's temperament, I was afraid that it would backfire, but she would not believe her.
Anyway, the person is already dead, and he is at a loss for words, and I don't know how long it will take for this incident to make the emperor's heart completely gone......
Now hearing Rong Xi's words, Wei Guifei's appreciation for Rong Xi in her heart has increased a few points.
The emperor nodded, and Rong Xi said again: "Father, the son thinks that the maid of the palace who boiled this medicine should also take care of it, and even with the things in the small kitchen, there may be unexpected gains." â
The emperor's gloomy face eased slightly, nodded and said, "Xi'er is right, come here, do what Princess Ning says!" â
Soon, an order was given, someone went to ask for a doctor, and a few guards quickly walked into the small kitchen, brought all the mothers and women to the kitchen door, and rummaged through all the medicinal ingredients.
The imperial doctor soon came, looking at the jade bowl several times, his fingers trembled into chicken paws, and they all knew very well in their hearts that they were now in Wei Guifei's palace, and they couldn't be offended; And the person who died was the princess of Qi, and he still couldn't be offended.
The bitter thing is that they are caught in the center, in a dilemma, not to mention that the emperor's eyes are still looking at it, which makes people want to break out in a cold sweat when they move.
Rong Xi looked at the imperial doctor's face, naturally understood what he was thinking, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This imperial doctor, can you see it yourself?" It's better to call a few more academicians from the Tai Hospital, maybe ...... Be able to see more clearly. â
"Yes-yes, Princess Ning is right, Xiaguan...... This goes, this goes. The imperial doctor was about to burst into tears with joy, if it wasn't for the environment, he would not be able to kneel down and kowtow to Rong Xi twice, this is simply timely rain, not only to reduce his responsibility a lot, but also to be able to discuss what is in the medicine, so that it can be fair and just, neither side is partial, speak with facts, neither party can hold a grudge against a group of imperial doctors, right?
As soon as the imperial physician ran out, a guard walked in, "Go back to the emperor, I found these things in the small kitchen." Please take a look at the emperor. â
Gonggong Su stepped forward and took a few small bamboo baskets with things one by one, and placed them one meter away from the emperor, those things, long or short, purple or blue, didn't look very familiar.
The emperor's eyes flashed, and Rong Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, this thing ...... Although it can be regarded as evidence, is it evidence that Wei Guifei was assassinated by Princess Qi, or is it evidence that Princess Qi was forced by Wei Guifei to drink poisonous medicine and finally crashed into the pillar and died?
These seem to be in the emperor's thoughts.
Wei Guifei looked at those things, her face couldn't help but turn pale, she didn't expect that there were so many strange things in her small kitchen, and she had never paid attention to it, every time she had a meal, she just asked Mama Liu to test for drugs with silverware.
If it weren't for today's events, she would never have thought that some things would have been used by others, using complex and deep human hearts as bait, and anything could have been caught.
Thinking about her current situation, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
Does anyone know that even the death of this princess Qi is a bureau used to trap herself? If she were alive, it would be a different story, and the ending would only be a death, or if the news came out...... She is worse than dead. However, now that she is dead, she has nothing left, she just died like this, and at this time, those who do not know, including the emperor, ignore what she has done and why she has done it, only knowing, only seeing, that she is dead.
And the self who was hurt the most by her had to face a more powerless and difficult situation.
Just as she was thinking about it, the imperial doctor who had just run out ran back, and there were three or four of them behind him, I don't know what method he used, anyway, he found someone.
Several people came over to salute the emperor, and then went to carefully study the jade bowl, and one of them, the gray-haired Imperial Physician Zhang, said: "Guifei Niangniang, can you give the minister the prescription of this medicine?" â
Wei Guifei nodded and glanced at Mama Liu, who hurriedly got up from the ground, turned around and went to the dresser, took out a prescription from a small drawer, and handed it to Imperial Doctor Zhang.
Imperial Physician Zhang took it, looked at it carefully, and muttered to several other imperial physicians for a long time, and finally, Imperial Physician Zhang knelt down in front of the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, after the ministers and others, there is a faint sour taste in this medicinal juice, but judging from this prescription, there should not be such a smell." â
"You mean to say that there is something in this medicine that is not in the prescription?" The emperor quickly understood what Imperial Physician Zhang meant, his gaze was cold, and the expression on his face was calm and gloomy.
"Exactly." Imperial Physician Zhang replied cautiously.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, you can see clearly," Mama Liu's mind turned, and she stepped forward and climbed two steps, "This recipe is indeed true, the slaves and maids in the small kitchen boil it every day, and those who are in charge of this matter can testify." â
Rong Xi's gaze flickered slightly, from the pale Wei Guifei to the cold-faced emperor, she clearly heard what Imperial Doctor Zhang and Mama Liu said, and now, the truth of this recipe has become a problem.
Princess Qi ...... I really tried my best to harm Concubine Wei.
She tilted her head slightly, she stood just in time to see the view outside the window, the sun had begun to turn west, and the bright golden sunlight had turned into a soft light, gently hitting the leaves, which made a slight noise and a song.
And those palace maids and grandmothers were standing under the tree, Rong Xi's eyes wandered over them, and he saw the picker standing in the crowd.
She hung her head, her eyes seemed to fall on her toes, the sun gently pressed on her face, the lines of the side face glowed with a soft and warm luster, her eyelashes drooped, the long curls were thick, densely covering the light in her eyes, she stood there quietly, silently, and there seemed to be no sense of zĂ i.
Unlike the other palace maids around her, she was not nervous, frightened, or panicked, but just stood quietly, hiding in the middle of the crowd, like a cloud.
Rong Xi's heart moved, her temperament reminded Rong Xi of the scene when Murong Shi asked Wei Guifei for a cup of tea before, and when she drank tea, her eyebrows were pressed together in the water, and they were like a hazy and soft cloud.
The corners of Rong Xi's mouth curled slightly, Cai Qiang's quietness was nothing more than thinking about not being conspicuous and not prominent, but her quietness was obvious in the tension and panic around her.
Picking roses, after all, there is still a problem.
The prescriptions and medicinal materials are all dead, they can't speak, and there is no mark, they are whoever they are, and people are different, people are alive, so Rong Xi feels that in the end, it is necessary to start with the human body.
Over there, Imperial Physician Zhang heard Mama Liu's words, touched his beard and said, "Mama don't worry, the lower officials don't mean anything else, just tell the truth." This recipe ......"
The emperor was silent, Wei Guifei gave her eyes, Mama Liu closed her mouth and stopped talking, Wei Guifei asked slowly: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, this palace wants to ask, then look at this prescription, what's wrong?" â
"Back to Niangniang's words," Imperial Physician Zhang saluted, "There is nothing wrong with this recipe, it is just a recipe used to nourish the female body, but there are two flavors of medicine that are extremely clever, and the effect may be better than other prescriptions," he said, and handed the prescription to Mama Liu, "Come to think of it, if Niangniang has been used for many years as Mama said, then it should also be effective." â
Wei Guifei's body shook slightly, how could she not feel the effect? In addition to the skin on her body getting better and better, she has always been a little dizzy when she gets up these days, and she can't swallow a little, and she still has some headaches after taking a nap, and she has to rub it for a long time to be relieved.
She always thought that it was because she was too busy and worried too much during this time, but now she understands that her body is slowly poisoned by the medicine day by day.
She smiled bitterly, spoke slowly, and in response to Imperial Physician Zhang's words, she said to the emperor, "Yes, this palace also feels the effect of the attack, and I always feel unwell after getting up in the morning, and I don't know how to eat during the meal, I thought it was...... I was worried, and because I was a little anxious, I didn't want to think about it...... Today, I know that I was killed by this medicine. â
Imperial Physician Zhang was stunned, this was obviously different from what he thought, and there was indeed no problem with this prescription, but the residual medicine in the medicine bowl was indeed different from this prescription.
Finally...... Which is the truth?
He is just a doctor, he doesn't dare to say more, he can only say what he sees with his eyes, and leave the rest to those who hold the power in their hands to judge.
The emperor was silent for a long time, he looked at Wei Guifei, the woman in front of him was as beautiful as a flower, not at all like a person of this age, he had always praised her for her natural beauty, and even God favored her, and now she ......
Wei Guifei met his gaze and didn't speak, but the water in her eyes became more and more misty, her lips pursed slightly, and she looked like she wanted to say goodbye.
The emperor sighed slightly, waved his hand, and said to another imperial physician: "Go, check the pulse of the concubine, and look at her illness before anything else." â
As soon as these words came out, Rong Xi's eyes flashed slightly.
