Chapter 195: Poisoning

Chen Cainu threw herself in front of Liu Zhao and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine was not poisoned, it was Deng Guiren who was jealous of the concubine than her husband, and she deliberately framed the concubine." ”

Liu Zhao stood up almost angrily and roared: "You still accuse Deng Guiren, don't you send snacks to Deng Guiren every day?" ”

Chen Cainu couldn't support it and almost fainted, but fortunately, Bi'er and Su Lan held it firmly. Chen Cainu said repeatedly: "The concubine did send a snack, that is, the concubine did not poison the pastry, no, no." ”

Sui'er's face was still ugly, but she still stabilized her mind and said softly: "Chen Cainu, this palace didn't say that you must be poisoned, but you come to take a look at these things." She gestured to a copper basin in Zhao Yu's hand.

Zhao Yu immediately put it in front of her, and Chen Cainu quickly lifted the black cloth on it with two fingers to take a look, only to see a few blurred lumps of flesh and blood inside, and she couldn't see what it was, and the blue-black blood was weird. She almost didn't vomit, and bent over, resisting the sourness and fear in her chest. "What's, what is this?"

"What? This is the dead cat that was born after eating your snack! You can see clearly, not only stillbirths, but also aliens. Zhao Yu said with anger and accusation, biting his lower lip.

"I, I, the emperor, I am wronged!" Chen Cainu cried out, tears rained down, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

Sui'er pulled her up and said, "You're pregnant, don't get too excited, even if it's true, I don't blame you." The most important thing is to give birth to an heir for the emperor. With your heart, this palace didn't expect it to be the method you thought of, you tell me, among the pastries. What kind of poison did you have?"

Chen Cainu just cried blindly, neither speaking nor arguing. Liu Zhao took a few shots of the case, and said angrily: "What's the use of crying? Doctor He, go to Doctor He and ask him to come and test what poison is in these pastries? ”

Doctor He has long been standing outside. After hearing this, he hurriedly came in and said, "Your Majesty." The minister is here. ”

"You have been serving Deng Guiren, do you know about this?" Liu Zhao was in an irritable mood, and his slender fingers tapped the edge of the case. Seeing that Mrs. He's heart was pounding.

"The minister didn't know about this. Every day, the nobles take medicine according to Dr. Lu's prescription, and there is nothing unusual. As for the dead cat, the minister only heard about it today. ”

"Look at it. What kind of poison did this cat have? Liu Zhao pointed to the pot of dead cats.

Doctor He shuddered and took away the black cloth and looked at it, and immediately put it down. Kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, with the knowledge of the ministers, this cat fetus was indeed poisoned and died suddenly, this is a cat." If a person takes it for a long time, it will be premature when it reaches seven or eight months. This child could also be a teratous! ”

"What a poison!" Liu Zhao's hands had begun to tremble, and his eyes were full of tears. Again and again, when is the head. Why do you have to harm his children, again and again, again and again, and every time it is to harm Sui'er, is it that if you love someone, you will be cursed by everyone?

"If Weichen didn't guess wrong, he was poisoned by mercury. But the poisoning dose is not very large, the poisoning is very slow, the cat's body is small, and the gestation time is short, so it becomes a stillbirth. If it is a human being, the fetus may grow until it is delivered to the mother, but it may be a terrature or a natural stupidity. ”

"Mercury?" Liu Zhao and Sui'er both exclaimed in surprise. Sui'er's mind turned: "Sister Yu, you go and get the pastry and let Imperial Doctor He take a look." ”

Zhao Yu hurriedly went out and came back with the pastry, Imperial Physician He looked at it, smelled and smelled, and tasted it with his fingers: "The minister sees that there is nothing wrong with this dim sum, and there is no special taste when you eat it!" ”

"No way, if there is no problem, then how did the cat get poisoned by mercury?"

"This, the minister doesn't know." Imperial Physician He wiped the sweat on his head, he entered the West Palace to take care of Deng Guiren, I don't know how many things he encountered, and his soul was about to fly away.

Sui'er also picked up the pastry and put it in front of her eyes, looked at it and smelled it, and suddenly saw that each pastry was stained with some sesame seeds, some more, some less.

"Sister Lan'er, do you need to put sesame seeds in these pastries?"

Su Lan'er looked at it and replied: "Niangniang, slaves and maids can also make pastries, but only the jujube cake is put with sesame seeds, and the rest, such as this osmanthus cake, is never put in." ”

Sui'er said to Doctor He: "Doctor He, look at this sesame seed, what's wrong?" ”

Doctor He took a few grains and put them in the palm of his hand, checked them again, and exclaimed: "Niangniang, it's this sesame seed, this sesame seed should be mixed with cinnabar to fry, and there is some cinnabar powder on it." There is mercury in the cinnabar, yes, it's the problem with the sesame seeds. ”

Liu Zhao walked over and picked up the osmanthus cake, looked at it, and sure enough, there were a lot of sesame seeds, he snapped into Chen Cainu's body, and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Chen Cainu was so frightened that she forgot to cry, and suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor spares your life, for the sake of the dragon heir I am carrying, the emperor spares the concubine!" ”

Sui'er walked over and helped her up and said, "Your Majesty, she probably didn't know that the pastry was poisoned, and she was kind enough to send it for her concubine!" ”

"Noble Niangniang, noble Niangniang, you have a lot of adults, you let me go, I don't dare anymore!" Chen Cainu hugged Sui'er's leg and cried very sadly.

"I know, don't cry, be careful of the child." Sui'er comforted her while motioning to Zhao Yu and Su Lan'er to help her up. sighed and said, "I also know what kind of character you are, and if no one instructs me, I won't do such a foolish thing." If you tell the commander, the emperor will not punish you. ”

"No, no one instructed me!" Chen Cainu answered very happily this time.

"Is there really not? So according to what you see, how do you know that cinnabar contains mercury? How did you come up with the idea of putting it in the pastry? You didn't study medicine, who told you that? Sui'er's voice was soft, but it made Chen Cainu speechless.

Bi'er suddenly knelt down and said: "Niangniang, these are all thought up by the slave maid, the slave maid's family is a medical hall, so I know this, this method was also thought up by the slave maid, it is all the slave's fault, noble lady, you let the girl go." She is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood! ”

Chen Cainu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and immediately said: "Niangniang, yes, it's Bi'er, it's all her idea, Niangniang, let me go!" ”

Bi'er glanced back at Chen Cainu, her eyes full of resentment.

Sui'er sighed: "You are not as good as a slave!" Emperor. Exactly how you also saw. Please ask the emperor to make decisions for his concubines. ”

Liu Zhao's eyes were extremely sharp: "You have all seen it, how can I be willing to make trouble out of nothing, there are some people." I can't let me get my wish, but I'm willing to do nothing. The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, what can I do? Liu Zhao's expression became flat, and he smiled to himself. said: "Have I done it? Are these all my faults? ”

"If a man is guilty, heaven and earth will punish him. I only heal the rebellious body. People are so strange! He walked back and forth in the warm pavilion and the hall, as if talking to himself, and as if reprimanding: "You are the daughter of my relatives, have I ever treated you badly?" Your father. I have been promoted two levels, and your mother has also been made a lady. You are pregnant with my blood and bones, and I have ordered the queen to be careful. Attentive to serving, I originally planned that you would give birth to an heir. Whether you are a man or a woman, you will be crowned as a beauty. But you are mad and jealous, and you think of ways to deal with those who are harmless to you. Deng Guiren has always been kind to others, what does she have to say to you? Alas, my heart is too kind, too kind, and it is a little too benevolent. Do you all think that I don't even dare to kill chickens? When Song Jun killed Li Meiren, I didn't kill her because she was pregnant with an heir, and later because she sincerely repented, but what about you? You know what happened back then, but you can still do such a thing that is unreasonable, you are even more hateful. ”

He approached Chen Cainu, stood beside him, looked at Chen Cainu who was shaking with disdain, and said: "You don't have to be afraid, you are not worthy of defiling my knife, I will not kill you, it is also because you are pregnant with my heir, but you are not worthy of being a maid again, you are not even as good as the maid next to you, you have lived to this point alone, and you are not far from death." God won't let you go! God, I want to rule the world with benevolence, but can such a thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs be benevolent? ”

He looked at Sui'er, whose expression was calm, but still pale, and said: "You go back to the palace, from today onwards, I will only give you four pieces of clothing a year, and only give you vegetarian food every day." After the child was born, he was handed over to the queen to raise, and he was not allowed to take a step in the Golden Horse Hall for life. ”

Chen Cainu's lips trembled, and finally closed her eyes, tears slid down and wet her clothes.

Liu Zhao glanced at Bi'er and said, "You are a good slave and know how to protect the master wholeheartedly." But she is a confused master, she is not as good as a pig and a dog, and you are much more noble than her. From now on, there is no need to go back to the Golden Horse Palace, go to my Deyang Hall to serve, loyal servant, I will not handle you! ”

Liu Zhao glanced at Sun Jue and said, "Send Chen Cainu back, let Zhou Rong send troops to watch day and night." Take care of the Golden Horse Palace, leave it to Zhou Bo, he is from the old palace, he knows everything, and he has the importance of knowing my thoughts. ”

Sui'er watched the colorless Chen Cainu being dragged down, and smiled faintly, "Thank you, concubine, Your Majesty." ”

Liu Zhao took her hand, his eyes were full of tenderness, "I'm scared and frightened all day, tired, are you any discomfort?" ”

Sui'er smiled lightly, a flower rose on her lips, and her heart was soft and calm in such a lake water, "The concubine has nothing, the emperor is angry and tired today, and he is tired, the concubine let the kitchen fry a few side dishes, and the concubine accompanies the emperor to eat some." ”

Liu Zhao shook his head lightly, "I'm in a terrible mood today, I don't want to eat anything, you eat some food, I'm waiting for you to read." ”

"The concubine eats several meals a day, and she doesn't want to eat. Your Majesty, tomorrow's concubine wants to give a lecture on everyone to enter the palace and write a copy of "Women's Rules" with her to correct the atmosphere in the palace. In the past, the concubine had promised Master He that it could be realized now. Doesn't the emperor think that the world is going down, and everyone is resentful in their hearts? With this "Women's Rules", everyone will respect it, and the resentment will be much lighter, and the palace will be calm. ”

Liu Zhao's dark eyes were full of joy, and there was longing and exploration in his eyes, "Sui'er, how much wisdom is still in your little brain, I really want to know when I will be able to dig it out." This is a very good method, I agree with it very much, you just let it go, I will let Zheng Zhong help you. If you need anything, just talk to him! ”

"With the emperor's words, what else is Sui'er worried about?" Sui'er pursed her red lips lightly, smiled brightly, and the room was full of light. (To be continued)
