Chapter 59: Like Facing the Abyss
All the palace people who were serving around Concubine Sheng were brought in, and all the female officials of the Department of Medicine knelt in the Guanju Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Who is responsible for Sheng Concubine's fetal pills?" Rong Bingye's voice was like a cold wind, fluttering and blowing into the ears of everyone in the hall, the hall was obviously warm, but it couldn't help but make people feel cold.
Fang Siyao, who was kneeling on the ground, slid cold sweat down her cheeks drop by drop, and her voice trembled: "Your Majesty, Concubine Sheng's fetal medicine has always been tormented by Tan Zhangyao. ”
Tan Zhangyao hurriedly knocked his head on the ground, and his voice was full of panic: "Your Majesty, the slave maid is responsible for the fetal medicine of the concubine, but today the slave and maid are unwell, so they took leave from Mudian Medicine, so today's fetal medicine is not boiled by the slave and maid." ”
"Then who is in charge of decoction today!" Rong Bingye's voice was already a little angry, "With such prevarication, I just want to know who is responsible for today's fetal pills!" ”
At this time, among the kneeling people in the hall, a woman in palace clothes stumbled past, and she was already frightened by the oppressive atmosphere in the hall and cried, "Enlightenment...... Your Majesty, today's fetal pills are fried by slaves, but slaves swear that slaves and maids have never placed aconite in Sheng Concubine's fetal pills! In a panic, she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Aconite is poisonous, it has always been shelved, and it is rarely used." If it is used, the Department of Medicine has always been recorded, so why don't Your Majesty check the records of the use of aconite in the past month. ”
Her words reminded Concubine Xian, and she only heard Concubine Xian say: "Your Majesty, what she said is reasonable, just check the records and find out who murdered Concubine Sheng." ”
Seeing Rong Bingye bowing slightly, Huan Yuqi hurriedly walked out of the hall.
The room suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to speak at this time, Su Dai pretended to pick up the teacup to eat tea, but his eyes were quietly looking at the expressions of other people in the hall.
Concubine Ning didn't seem to have any intentions, just looked at the Kodan on her fingers; Concubine Xian sat at Rong Bingye's head with low eyebrows, her eyebrows full of melancholy.
Not long after, Huan Yanqi came back with the dossier of the medicine department, and the nerves of everyone in the hall instantly tensed again, only to hear Huan Yanqi finish the dossier and say: "Your Majesty, only Weiyang Palace has used aconite in the past month. ”
For just a moment, all the eyes in the hall were focused on Su Dai's body, and Jiang Mi couldn't help but clench Su Dai's hand.
Su Dai smiled: "Didn't the chief manager read it wrong?" In the past month, this palace has sent people to the medicine department to get aconite! With that, she straightened her body and gestured in all directions.
At this time, a female Shi of the Department of Medicine in the hall trembled and said: "The slave also seems to remember that Aunt Ji Zhi came to the Department of Medicine, and she seemed to have whispered with Banlian for a while. ”
Su Dai looked back behind her, but there was only Saihan, she remembered that she was in a hurry, and only took Saihan with her.
The female Shi named Banlian hurriedly said: "Aunt Zhi came to the slave and said that it was Concubine Yi's mother who had a cold cough and needed to use aconite as medicine to stop her cough, and the slave gave her aconite." ”
Wind chill and cough? Aconite is used as a medicine to suppress cough? Her words were like a basin of cold water, pouring Su Dai's heart completely, she had never coughed against the wind and cold, why did Luo Zhi say this to others? Like a trap, she only stepped into one step, but she was already trapped.
She subconsciously looked at Rong Bingye, who was sitting tall, but his figure was hidden in the dark and unknown light and shadow, and the expression on his face made her unreal. She doesn't care what others think of her, she only cares if he believes herself or not!
He didn't speak, she didn't know what he thought, she was a little helpless and pulled the handkerchief of her palm, and her palm was already cold sweat at some point.
I only heard Concubine Ning chuckle lightly, and seemed to be lazy: "This is really interesting, there are many ways to suppress cough, how can you just get aconite to suppress cough!" What's more, when she uses aconite as a medicine to suppress cough, Concubine Yi's sister can find a prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor after diagnosis and treatment? If not, how did Concubine Yi's sister learn that aconite can stop coughing? Or, the medicinal soup of the harem concubines was all fried by the medicine department and sent to it, why was Concubine Yi special, and she took the medicinal materials back to fry them? ”
Concubine Ning's words were like an extremely sharp sword, deeply piercing into the hearts of everyone present, and everyone's hearts were pierced with a gap, and emotions such as suspicion, suspicion, and exploration were like seeds, which grew into a giant tree of doubt after falling into the hearts of everyone in the hall.
She couldn't sit still, her fingers pinching the table she was holding.
Su Dai suddenly got up and knelt down, "The concubine implores Your Majesty to announce that Luo Zhi came over and asked what happened, so that the concubine can be innocent!" ”
Rong Bingye bowed slightly, and Huan Zhiqi quietly retreated.
Jiang Mi also knelt down, her always gentle face full of determination: "Your Majesty, if it is said that Concubine Yi used aconite to murder Concubine Sheng, this matter will not make sense." Sheng Concubine's fetal medicine was fried by the Department of Medicine, and the aconite could only be added in the process of decoction, if Concubine Yi had already received the aconite, then how could she put the aconite into the fetal medicine! ”
Concubine Ning glanced at Jiang Mi disapplausively, "Then who can prove that Concubine Yi's sister has no one in the Pharmaceutical Division?" ”
Rong Bingye still didn't speak, his attitude made her heart sink gradually, as if falling into an endless abyss.
At this moment, a woman's cry suddenly sounded in the hall, Rong Bingye's eyes lit up, and there was an indescribable chill in his voice, "Who is crying!" ”
The woman raised her eyes in a panic, but she still lowered her head and sobbed, "The slave maid is Shi Tianqing, the daughter of the Pharmaceutical Division." After speaking, she quickly glanced at Su Dai, and lowered her head again.
Concubine Xian saw the clue, frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" Your Majesty, what are you afraid of here? ”
Tianqing looked at Su Dai again, her face was full of fear, she suddenly threw herself on the ground and cried: "Concubine Yi, you still admit it!" The slave maid said before that this matter could not be done, you have to coerce the slave maid, if you don't add aconite to Sheng Concubine's fetal pills, you will kill the slave and maid, and you also said that adding aconite will only make Sheng Concubine uncomfortable for a few days, and nothing will happen! But now ......"
Her words shocked everyone in the hall in place, Su Dai's eyes widened, and his voice was full of disbelief: "This palace doesn't know you at all, why did you threaten you?" ”
Tianqing still continued to cry: "Concubine Yi, you still admit it, Concubine Sheng's little prince is gone, aren't you afraid that he will come to ask you for his life?" ”
This is a trap, Su Dai's heart was half cold, Jiang Mi beside her held her hand tightly, she pretended to be calm, but the trembling of her fingertips betrayed her mood at the moment.
"You are presumptuous! This palace has never harmed Sheng Concubine! She was a little flustered, all the fingers pointed at herself, obviously Fang Cai still didn't care about herself, why did it only burn on her in an instant. She looked at Rong Bingye who was sitting upright with hope in her eyes, trying in vain to find a trace of comfort on his face, "Your Majesty? ”
But there seemed to be a layer of frost between his eyebrows, and the cold was pressing, and for a moment, she only felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, cold from head to toe, and his eyes were like a silver needle shining with cold light, piercing her heart deeply, and it hurt.
