But Qianlong was about to taste Concubine Zhuang's zongzi, Gao Wuyong rushed forward and knocked the zongzi in the little eunuch's hand to the ground. Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. Qianlong lowered his face and reprimanded: "Gao Wuyong, what are you going to do?" ”

Gao Wuyong casually grabbed a zongzi from a plate, peeled off the zongzi leaves, and said to the emperor: "What is the difference between this zongzi and the zongzi on the ground?" ”

He didn't say that others didn't pay attention, and after he reminded him, everyone also noticed that the rice dumplings on the ground were different colors from other people's rice dumplings. Qianlong looked at the zongzi in Gao Wuyong's hand, the color was bright white and there were no impurities, while the zongzi on the ground was dim in color and seemed to be mixed with something strange. Qianlong was shocked and asked Concubine Zhuang, "What's going on?" ”

Concubine Zhuang stared at the big black eyes, looked at the zongzi on the ground in a daze, and didn't react for a long time. Qianlong Tie blushed and asked fiercely: "You say, what's going on?" Aren't you using glutinous rice? ”

Concubine Zhuang replied: "The concubine naturally uses glutinous rice, and there is nothing else. ”

Gao Wuyong reprimanded: "Nonsense, if it's all glutinous rice, why is your color different from others." ”

Concubine Zhuang couldn't answer. Gege saw that the zongzi was really different from what he ate at noon, and knew that someone must be making trouble in the kitchen and dropped Concubine Zhuang's zongzi. But this is just speculation, and there is no evidence, how can you say it to the emperor? But he couldn't see death without help, so he could only step forward and say, "Your Majesty." Ruoqing also ate the owner's zongzi at noon today, and there was nothing wrong with it. Ruoqing dares to guarantee that the owner's zongzi is no problem. ”

Gao Wuyong smiled coldly and said to the emperor: "If there is a problem, there is no problem, but the emperor has the final say." Emperor. According to the minion's opinion, it is better to send a royal dog from the dog supervisor and let the royal dog try it first, and if there is a problem, you will know if there is a problem. ”

Qianlong twisted his eyebrows, thought about it, nodded and said okay. Gao Wuyong assigned the little eunuch to go to the dog prison to get a black and white-striped hound and jumped up and down. Barking non-stop. The dog officer who led the dog called it by name to win the championship, and only then did it quiet down. Qianlong instructed to let the champion bite the zongzi and eat it. The dog official raised the hunting dog for three years and took it to Mulan to hunt every year. There are many achievements. In the past three years, he has already had a relationship with the champion, and when he came to Qingyao Pavilion to see such a situation, he only had bitterness in his heart. But he didn't dare to resist the king in person. can only lead the champion to the zongzi, and lead it to eat by snoring and drinking. After all, it is a dog that wins the championship, no one is smart, obeys the master's instructions, and eats zongzi happily. Everyone watched it, and at first, it rejoiced, only for a moment. And he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. Alas!

Qianlong hadn't spoken yet, and Concubine Li over there also rubbed her stomach and babbled. Gao Wuyong was shocked: "Bad thing, in the afternoon, the master Li ate a few zongzi, is it also poisoned?" ”

Qianlong was shocked and reprimanded: "What are you still standing for?" Go and get the doctor! ”

Gao Wuyong was flustered, and ran to invite the well-anticipated Imperial Doctor Jiang in the palace. Imperial Doctor Jiang was very skilled in the palace, and there was no difference in the diagnosis he made. Imperial Doctor Jiang held an official robe in one hand and trotted to Qianlong. It was too late to ask for peace, Qianlong ordered: "Quick, show Concubine Li, save her life, I will be rewarded, if you can't save it, don't want your life." ”

Imperial Doctor Jiang's face was sweating, and he didn't care about wiping it, the matter was urgent, and no matter what identity he was, he used to squat to see a doctor for Concubine Li. At this time, Concubine Li had been supported by the golden wisps and sat down on the pavilion, holding her stomach with her hands, oops, oops, Imperial Doctor Jiang first looked at Concubine Li's face, and then asked about the situation, and really did it according to the four words 'looking, hearing, asking, and cutting' in the medical book. After that, Imperial Physician Jiang had to take the pulse. The golden wisp put the veil on Concubine Li's wrist. Imperial Doctor Jiang touched his wrist and listened carefully to the pulse. Everyone looked at Imperial Doctor Jiang in a daze, and they didn't dare to make a sound. After a while, Imperial Physician Jiang sighed, stood up with a solemn expression, and knelt in front of Qianlong.

Qianlong asked, "How is Concubine Li?" ”

Imperial Doctor Jiang replied: "The body is fine, it's just ~~~" After saying that, he stopped talking.

Qianlong knew that something was wrong, and asked loudly, "Just what?" ”

Imperial Physician Jiang replied: "The minister listens to the pulse of the master, and he is fluent in comings and goings, which should mean sleek, like a bead walking on a plate." Ruochen listened well, this pulse should be a happy pulse, and the master has been pregnant for a month. ”

When Concubine Li heard the news, she sighed, her eyes turned black, and she fainted. Jin Wei was busy pinching people and pouring brown sugar water, and finally woke up Concubine Li. Who knows, as soon as Concubine Li woke up, she gasped in a coquettish voice: "Where is it wet?" "Let's just look under my skirt. I didn't care about it, and I almost fainted again. I saw a little blush oozing from the white embroidered skirt, just like watermelon juice flowing out.

Jin Wei said: "Imperial Doctor Jiang, come and see, what's wrong with Master Li?" ”

Imperial Doctor Jiang didn't get up, turned his head to look at it, turned around and said to the emperor again: "At this point, there is nothing good for the minister. The emperor also saw that the master Li had already seen red, the fetus could not be saved, and the master Li would go back to raise it for three months, or it could be restored as before. For today's plan, the minister can only prescribe some medicine that nourishes qi and nourishes blood, go back and let Master Li drink three meals a day, and then prevent the wind and slowly recuperate, it will naturally be better. ”

When Qianlong heard that the fetus was not saved, he was furious, and pointed at Concubine Zhuang and reprimanded: "How dare you do such a thing that hurts heaven and reason? Even if you are jealous of Concubine Li, you dare to harm me? You, you, you~~~" He said three times in a row, but he couldn't continue. Concubine Zhuang was so frightened that she didn't know how to kneel down and beg for mercy. But Gege saw that the opportunity was not good, knelt down, and opened his mouth to argue: "The emperor is angry!" Your Majesty, please calm your anger! The emperor thought about it, Ruoqing also ate the owner's zongzi at noon today, and there was nothing wrong with it. Besides, if you say jealousy, Ruoqing can't guarantee that the owner of the village has such a heart, but when it comes to poisoning the emperor, Ruoqing uses her head to vouch for it, and the owner of the village will never dare to do such a thing. If there are many people in the palace, or there are people who have bad intentions, there are also things to blame the owner. Human life is at stake, please think twice, Your Majesty! With that, Gege kowtowed a few more times. At this time, Concubine Zhuang came to her senses, and she also knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and just cried: "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! ”

For a while. Qianlong was also difficult to decide. With his understanding of Concubine Zhuang's personality, he would never do such a hurtful thing, and if he wanted to kill Concubine Zhuang like this at this time. It's a bit sloppy indeed. Gao Wuyong has followed the emperor for decades, and when he saw the emperor's face, he knew what he was thinking. So, he said: "The existing imperial doctor is here, can I ask the imperial doctor to see what is in the zongzi?" ”

Qianlong had no better way, so he had to instruct Imperial Doctor Jiang: "What kind of poison do you see in the zongzi?" ”

Imperial Doctor Jiang got up from the ground and walked to Concubine Zhuang's plate. After a closer look, he dipped a piece of glutinous rice with his index finger and tasted it, and finally he said, "According to the minister." I'm afraid that this dumpling is wrapped in a cockscomb stone. ”

Hearing that it was such a highly poisonous thing, Concubine Zhuang calmed down, wiped the tears and sweat on her face with a handkerchief, and said awe-inspiringly: "Everyone is full of stolen goods." Qingxiu also has nothing to say. If you want to kill or chop, let the emperor dispose of it. It's just that one person does things and one person does, and there is a mother and brother in Qingxiu's family, please ask the emperor to only sin one concubine, and spare Qingxiu's family. ”

Gege hurriedly said: "What the owner of the village said is wrong. If you didn't do that, why admit it? By doing so, you will only make the perpetrator more and more rampant and get away with it. ”

Qianlong was silent. Gao Wuyong said again: "What Qing Gege said is good. This kind of thing is not something that just anyone can do. The cockscomb stone is a highly poisonous thing, how can the people in the palace get this kind of thing. The old slave means. You might as well search all the palaces, and find out from whose palace you can't escape. ”

On the surface, listening to Gao Wuyong's words can be regarded as thoughtful. But Gege knew in his heart that Gao Wuyong's words were definitely not said for Concubine Zhuang, and there were no good worms in his stomach. I know that this matter is not handled properly, but now there is no good way. Looking at Qianlong again, he had already nodded and promised, so he could only wait and see what happened.

Gao Wuyong took the lead in leading a few little eunuchs, one palace after another. Qianlong endured his temperament and sat for about an hour. This hour is really very difficult, the previous elation has turned into a tense sentence, as long as the result is out, the person who is judged will surely die. Gege looked at Concubine Zhuang, as if she already knew the result, her face was indifferent, her expression was calm, and she had the posture of killing and killing. The more he saw her like this, the colder Gege's heart became, as the so-called knowing that he couldn't do it, there was no good way to do it at this time.

Gao Wuyong came back, carrying an embroidered bag in his hand. Don't look at it, Gege also knows that the embroidered bag was embroidered by Concubine Zhuang herself, and there is no second person in this palace who can make the unique needlework except for her.

Gao Wuyong took the embroidered bag in his hand to the emperor. The emperor had a gloomy face and did not speak. Gao Wuyong shook out the yellow powder in the embroidery bag and said to the emperor: "The emperor can ask Imperial Doctor Jiang to check it, is this thing a cockscomb stone?" ”

Qianlong still didn't speak, but just glanced at Imperial Doctor Jiang with slanted eyes. Imperial Doctor Jiang naturally understood what the emperor meant, and looked closer and said, "The minister dares to conclude that this is the cockscomb stone." ”

Gao Wuyong handed over the embroidered bag to the emperor. Qianlong asked Concubine Zhuang, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Concubine Zhuang looked up with a pink face and said indifferently: "The concubine has nothing to say, and the concubine will be disposed of by the emperor!" The concubine only wants to dispose of one concubine, and does not cause trouble to others. ”

At this time, Qianlong had no choice but to speak: "For the sake of your diligence for a few years, I will give you to commit suicide!" After that, he threw the embroidered bag in front of Concubine Zhuang and said, "You can bring this thing yourself." ”

Concubine Zhuang picked up the embroidery bag on the ground, smiled coldly, and poured all the remaining cockscomb stones in the embroidery bag into her mouth. Gege was on the side, trying to stop her, but it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order, so he could only watch her swallow all the poison. In an instant, Concubine Zhuang had died. Gege couldn't bear it in his heart, and saw Concubine Zhuang's hideous face, and she looked like she was dead. She bent her knees and covered Concubine Zhuang's face with the handkerchief in her hand.

Qianlong also felt unbearable, and instructed Gao Wuyong: "The person is dead, so he can be buried!" So saying, he turned and walked away. A disturbance only turned out to be like this, and everyone felt cold. Gege knew that Concubine Zhuang was framed to death, and hated Gao Wuyong and Concubine Li in his heart, so he had to think carefully when he returned home, how to beat these two people out of their original form.
