After the little eunuch came in, before she could salute, Ivy asked anxiously, "What's the situation?" ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, the Beauty Pavilion is now in a mess, and Liji Niangniang's child may not be guaranteed." The little eunuch knelt on the ground and said.

"What's going on with the Empress Dowager?" Concubine Rong's face suddenly appeared with a triumphant smile.

"The Empress Dowager hadn't arrived when the slave came out, but the Beauty Pavilion had already sent someone to inform her."

"Alright, you can step back first."

Concubine Rong was excited, without this child, Liji would never have a chance again!

Next is his dear eldest sister

When the Empress Dowager arrived at the Beauty Pavilion, she happened to see the basins of blood coming out of Liji's room, and she immediately frowned deeply, and the whole sheet went black in an instant, and she walked in with anger.

"What the hell is going on? It's all clear to the mourners! The Empress Dowager sat on the throne of the outer room and shouted angrily at the crowd kneeling below.

Everyone trembled with fright, and one by one lowered their heads, and apart from Liji's heart-rending wails, no one dared to speak back in the dead silence of the room.

"What? Are they all dumb? The Empress Dowager slammed the table and said, "Since you don't want to speak, the mourning family can fulfill you, so that you never have to speak!" ”

Finally, a first-class palace maid who was waiting beside Liji spoke: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Liji Niangniang Liji Niangniang suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain after drinking that bowl of An'an fetal medicine."

After speaking intermittently. The palace maid immediately slammed her head on the ground, not daring to raise it again. You must know that this fetal pill or something was sent by the Empress Dowager, and she has offended the Empress Dowager by saying this.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's gaze immediately turned gloomily to the bowl of fetal medicine, and immediately said to Aunt Hebi beside her: "Let the imperial doctor check that bowl of medicine immediately!" ”

"Yes, the slave will go and command." Aunt Hebi nodded understandingly.

She has been by the side of the Empress Dowager for decades, from the time when the Empress Dowager was a little concubine to the present, the tricks and plots in this palace have been exhausted.

At this moment, the imperial doctor who had treated Liji came out in a hurry. With a look of fear, he said to the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager. I'm afraid that the child in Liji's womb won't be able to be saved."

"If there is something about the child, the mourning family wants you to accompany the funeral, do you understand?" At this moment, the Empress Dowager had long lost the kindness she had when she worshipped the Buddha, and warned her angrily.

"This" when the imperial doctor heard this, his heart was even more miserable. Raise your arms. I wiped the sweat that was oozing from my forehead with my cuffs. said boldly, "The Empress Dowager, please forgive the ministers for their incompetence." The child in this Liji mother's womb really can't be saved. ”

"Originally, when the pregnancy was three months ago, it was not easy to keep the child, and Liji Niangniang's miscarriage this time was drug-guided, Weichen really had no choice!" Although the Imperial Doctor's words were quite coherent, his heart was no longer as calm as he appeared.

"If no measures are taken to lure the unformed fetus out of Liji's body, Liji's life will be lost due to heavy bleeding."

The more the Empress Dowager listened, the more angry she became, and finally, she stood up suddenly, slapped the imperial doctor in the face fiercely, and said sharply: "Waste! How important is the imperial heir, you dare to say such a thing, it is not a pity for a Liji to die! ”

"The minister is guilty, and please ask the Queen Mother to calm her anger!" The Imperial Doctor immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

At this time, Aunt Hebi also came back, glanced at the imperial doctor on the ground, and whispered in the ear of the empress dowager: "The empress dowager, the imperial doctor has already experienced that bowl of fetal medicine, and there is indeed a lot of safflower ingredients in it." He paused for a few seconds before continuing, "The slave has already ordered everyone who has touched this bowl of medicine to come to the Beauty Pavilion. ”

"Good! Very good! Dare to design these unclean tricks to the medicine of the mourning family! The Empress Dowager said coldly, "Today, the mourning family will investigate this matter and see who it is!" is so bold that he dares to splash this sewage on the head of the mourning family! ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at the imperial doctor kneeling at her feet and said, "The mourning family gives you another chance, now you immediately roll in for the mourning family and keep Liji's life for the mourning family." The mourning family let her see with her own eyes what kind of person harmed her to become what she is now! ”

The Empress Dowager went to the front hall with a full body of anger, and she is still saving Liji's life because she cares about her so much. The moment she lost the piece of meat in her belly, she was worthless!

When they arrived at the front hall, the group of people was already kneeling there tremblingly, and they were standing aside with Aunt Bi with a stern face.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the few people below, one of them was in charge of catching the medicine, two were in charge of boiling the medicine, and the other was in charge of delivering the medicine, a total of four people.

"Say, who added safflower to the fetal pill to murder the emperor's heir!" The Empress Dowager didn't care much about the affairs of the harem, and no one dared to speak up with such anger tonight.

"If you can't come up with evidence to prove your innocence today, then the charge of murdering the emperor's heir is enough for you to behead all the people!"

As soon as the Empress Dowager's words fell, except for the little eunuch who delivered the medicine, the rest of the three people immediately opened their mouths in fear and anxiety to prove themselves: "The Empress Dowager, Weichen has been wronged!" Wechen has always been careful when grabbing the medicine, and he will check it repeatedly many times each time, for fear that something will go wrong. There is indeed no safflower in the medicinal herbs that Weichen caught! ”

"The Empress Dowager, so is Weichen, Weichen has been decocting medicine with Imperial Doctor Zhang, and he never left halfway, and we also checked it before decoction, and there is indeed no safflower!"

"That's right, if the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, there are still unpoured medicine residues in the medicine jar of the Tai Hospital pharmacy, please let the Empress Dowager know about it!"

The three of them all seemed very anxious, trying to prove their innocence.

"Someone, go get the dregs." The Empress Dowager then commanded.

The hearts of the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, they believed that as long as the medicine residue was still there, they would be able to prove their innocence.

When the little eunuch saw that the situation seemed to be very unfavorable to him, he immediately explained anxiously: "The Empress Dowager, it is even more impossible for a slave to be a slave. The slave has never even opened the lid since he got the food box containing the medicine bowl, and the slave doesn't even know what a safflower is! Please also ask the Empress Dowager to spare the minions! ”

The Empress Dowager just looked at the few people below angrily, and didn't rush to ask anything, just waited for the people sent to bring the medicine residue over.

Soon, one of the guards brought a whole medicine jar over, and Aunt Bi immediately stepped forward to take it, then took out the Jinpa around his waist and put it on the table, and finally poured all the medicine residue inside on the Jinpa.

After a long and careful examination, the imperial doctor lowered his hand and said to the Empress Dowager: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, this residue does not contain safflower, it is a very ordinary fetal medicine. ”

The moment the imperial doctor's words fell, the three people just now breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no problem with the medicine residue, then their suspicion could be ruled out.

"No problem?" After all, the Empress Dowager is a woman who has been up and down in the harem all her life, how could she believe it so lightly?

After pondering for a moment, he asked suspiciously, "Are you sure that this medicine residue has not been tampered with?" Did you never have safflower from beginning to end, or was someone picked out the safflower residue one by one afterwards? ”

"This," the imperial doctor said with some embarrassment, "the empress dowager, before this safflower was put into the medicine, it had some smell, and it was easy to distinguish, but if it was boiled with the rest of the medicine, the smell was really not easy to distinguish." And if you really add safflower to the fetal pill, and then try to pick it out one by one from the residue without leaving a trace, it is almost impossible. ”

"The Empress Dowager, the ministers are wronged! The ministers really didn't plot to kill the emperor's heir! Seeing this, the three of them seized the opportunity and once again kept opening their mouths to defend themselves.

The little eunuch who delivered the medicine felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

The Empress Dowager finally set her eyes on the little eunuch, and said in a cold and majestic voice: "Say! Did you do it in the medicine? If you confess now, the mourning family can consider leaving you a whole corpse, if you die without admitting your guilt and are found out by the mourning family, you will be divided into five horses! ”

"The Empress Dowager, there are really no minions! The slave has no grievances with Liji Niangniang, why do you want to harm Liji Niangniang! Besides, if you borrow a hundred dares from the minions, the minions will not dare to murder the emperor's heir! When the slave went to get the medicine every day, he guarded outside the pharmacy, and he never even entered the medicine room of the Tai Hospital, so how could there be safflower on his hands? ”

The Empress Dowager looked at the little eunuch, and she really didn't look like it. But it is not excluded that he is a person who is extremely scheming and good at acting. And there must be a mastermind behind this matter, premeditated!

"It's not that hard to get to the bottom of the matter." At this time, a confident and abrupt female voice floated in from outside, and the people in the hall unconsciously moved their eyes to the position of the door.

Unexpectedly, it was Long Zeye and Jian Ning who came in, and it was Qianlan who followed Jian Ning who spoke.

After Long Zeye and Jian Ning returned to the palace, they listened to Fan Chengfu tell them about it. Long Zeye didn't want to come over, the child didn't have what he wanted, but Jian Ning insisted on coming over to have a look, and he could only accompany him. (To be continued......) R1292
