Chapter 552: Poisoning
Zhan Ge looked at the mung bean cake for a moment, don't use the silver needle to test it slightly, the silver needle is highly poisonous if it turns white and black, there is no problem!
"Heh, you dare to dare to poison the emperor, you are really bold!"
Zhan Ge snorted coldly, and directly asked people to surround him in the upper room, and all the cooks did not let any of them go, they all grabbed them and knelt in front of Zhan Ge.
"Side by side, what is going on?"
"Yes, the emperor's lunch time is about to start, if we delay it any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the meal, and we will be punished again!"
A few of the chefs were a little flustered.
The most important thing they pay attention to as chefs is to be regular and quantitative, and now they can't do it, and the emperor blames it, but no one can afford it.
Zhan Ge and they were all in such a hurry, but once again none of them were very invisible, and their words were full of ridicule and disdain: "The emperor is now highly poisoned, lying on the dragon bed, and he is still unconscious, how can he talk about having lunch?"
"What! The emperor was poisoned? "
When several people heard this, they all looked at each other, frightened, and thought about their current situation, and their feelings just regarded them as suspects!
The head chef was more clever, so he hurriedly flashed out on his knees, kowtowed to Zhan Ge and said, "Lord Wang, this matter really has nothing to do with us, and I will send a mung bean cake today!"
"Is this the mung bean cake?"
Zhan Ge smiled slightly, beckoned to the people behind him, and saw him take the pot of mung bean cake and put it in front of them.
"Yes, yes, that's it, and our kitchen seal is specially used on it!"
The head chef nodded again and again, but then realized that something was wrong, looked up at Zhan Ge with a panicked face, and asked tremblingly, "Lord Wang, could it be that there is something wrong with this mung bean cake?"
"Yours are still a little clever, this mung bean cake contains poison, can you explain to me what is going on?"
Zhan Ge's voice was fierce, and his eyes looked coldly at the head chef and the silent crowd behind him.
This life frightened the people present, but they looked at each other one by one and didn't come to a conclusion.
"Lord Wang, you must be aware of it, even if we have the courage to be bold, we will not be stupid to poison the food in the imperial dining room and find guilt for ourselves!"
The head chef didn't know what was going on, but they didn't have the guts to do it, and they wouldn't be so stupid.
Zhan Ge nodded thoughtfully, looking at the chef's clever appearance, he didn't look like this kind of person who would do stupid things, so he asked sideways: "Then what unusual people have come to the imperial dining room today?"
This voice made the people present start a quiet discussion, but they didn't dare to make too much noise.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd, "I remember that this morning when we were all at a high frame rate, a little palace maid came, and the excuse was to go around our kitchen, and you didn't take anything with you in the end!" "
"Yes, although the excuse is quite sufficient, it is really strange to come to the imperial dining room for nothing."
"Well, the key is that the maid is still in the cold palace, think about how far the cold palace is from us, it will take at least half an hour to get to us, and it is indeed suspicious to return empty-handed!"
……
Everyone is scrambling to discuss, and now that there is this poisoning incident, they feel more and more that the palace maid is really suspicious, whether it is words and deeds, it is very suspicious.
"You said that palace maid is from the Cold Palace?"
Zhan Ge put this keyword in his ears, and generally cold and empty such a deserted place, but few people come out to hang around and return empty-handed!
Seeing a few cooks nodded hurriedly, he put away his soldiers after looking for them, "You should know her." When the time comes, come with us, I can't believe that I can't find that woman! "
Zhan Ge looked at what the head chef said, she was naturally referring to the palace maid who ran over and wandered.
The head chef nodded hurriedly, and then followed Zhan Ge to see my emperor first, after all, it is not something that an outsider like him can do to summon the harem concubines.
"How is the emperor's situation now?"
Zhan Ge took the lead in asking the eunuch at the door, and then motioned to a kind of person behind him to wait in place.
"The emperor has now woken up, but his body is still a little weak, and Imperial Doctor Liu is waiting inside."
After listening to the eunuch's words, Zhan Ge pushed the door in by himself, and saw the emperor who was drinking the medicine, with a bitter look, obviously not very satisfied with the medicine.
"Brother, you are here, you don't know ......"
The emperor looked at the black pill, and only felt that there were all kinds of bitter complaints in his heart, and he wanted to find someone to talk to, but he hadn't finished saying it.
But I heard Zhan Ge's deep voice sound, slightly mixed with a trace of dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, because of your poisoning, my princess was arrested, and now she is in prison!" However, this king has just found out that this poison is from the mung bean cake in the imperial dining room, and it has nothing to do with the princess! "
This word was loud and sound, and the already huge palace was echoing with the voice of the king side by side at this moment, and everyone was in a panic in their hearts.
There is also quite an interesting thing in this speech, and everyone can't help but feel ashamed of the attitude of Xingshi asking for sin.
"What do you say? They actually arrested my sister! "
The emperor fainted as soon as he was poisoned, and Zhixing didn't know about it afterwards, and he woke up and was tortured by this bitter panic, and when he heard such angry news, he couldn't sit still for a moment, and quickly jumped up from the bed in fright.
The imperial doctor watched with trepidation on the side, and hurriedly said cautiously: "Your Majesty, don't get excited, but you must pay attention to the dragon body!"
Zhan Ge didn't speak, but stared at the emperor, hoping that he would give him a reasonable answer.
The emperor can still distinguish between right and wrong, he naturally knows that it is impossible for Yan Wushuang to poison himself, and Zhan Ge has found out the source of the perfunctory, so he hurriedly shouted loudly outside: "Gonggong Li, spread my will, let them quickly release the princess, saying that this matter has a clue and has nothing to do with the princess!"
Listening to the response from outside, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhan Ge very apologetically, "I'm really sorry, it's all because I was greedy for a while and ate something I shouldn't eat, so my sister was affected." "
"The emperor doesn't have to blame himself, I think it's right to find the real culprit at this moment. He had to be verified by the imperial doctor before, and found that it was also the poison of the Western Regions, and he should have always been in the same group as the person who stabbed you before! "
Zhan Ge is very worried about this problem at the moment, now the emperor's safety has been threatened, and this person is likely to lurk in the palace.
"Didn't you just say that the person who poisoned him already had some eyebrows? What is the situation? "
The emperor also seemed a little worried, he had not been on the throne for a long time, and it was normal for many people to covet him, but to be able to act so blatantly in the palace, I am afraid that the other party is not simple.
"The minister suspects that it has something to do with a palace maid in the abandoned cold palace, but I hope that the emperor will do him a favor and gather them all together, so that it can be easily verified by the minister!"
Zhan Ge said, the emperor nodded, although his body was still a little weak, but the poison on his body was probably almost resolved, and it did not affect anything else.
Just when the emperor was just finishing changing clothes and was going to go out with Zhan Ge, Yan Wushuang had just been released from prison at the moment, and he ran here in a hurry, just bumping into the two who went out.
"Wushuang, they didn't bully you in the cell, did they?"
"Sister, if they bully you, tell me, and I will avenge you!"
The two men greeted him very urgently, one by one as if checking some treasure, and looked at Yan Wushuang carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was okay.
Yan Wushuang looked at their anxious and urgent looks, but couldn't help but smile, "They are good to me inside, I feel a little more comfortable than serving at home, where are you going?" "
After giving them a reassuring pill, seeing that the emperor's face was a little pale, he was ready to go, and he couldn't help but have some doubts.
"It just so happens that you have also come, we have found out some eyebrows, and we are planning to ask the emperor to help investigate, find out the murderer as soon as possible, and keep the emperor away from danger."
Zhan Ge didn't have time to explain in detail now, for fear that the murderer would run away after hearing the movement.
The three of them ran towards the cold palace together, "Spread my order, saying that the palace entered the thief's palace and was stolen, in order to track down the direction of the harem, and gather all the concubines and palace maids together!" "
The emperor said, and someone immediately took action.
"Well, the emperor is handling things a little more steadily now, and he is still quite commendable!"
Yan Wushuang smiled slightly and nodded with great satisfaction.
The emperor was a little embarrassed by his praise, and just wanted to be shy, but those concubines came one by one.
"Your Majesty, all the concubines and palace maids are already here."
The guard who took the lead turned back to report.
The emperor nodded, and then gestured to the war song beside him.
The group of concubines and palace maids all whispered one by one, and there was even a trace of anxiety and panic on their faces, probably worried about the problem of the non-existent thief that the emperor said.
"Chef, look at any of the people in this group that you know?"
Zhan Ge said to the head chef behind him.
The head chef stood up, glanced at the concubines and palace maids one by one, but suddenly stopped at a palace maid in the corner, and hurriedly pointed at her in a panic, saying, "It's this woman, she was dangling in the imperial dining room at that time!"
After everyone heard this, they all looked at the palace maid who was always beside them, and they were a little confused for a while.
"Could it be that his palace maid is a thief, this shouldn't be, usually these two people don't go out of the door."
Some people still couldn't help but talk about it, but Zhan Ge had already walked to the side of the palace maid and looked at her.
