Chapter 24: Poisoning
Chi Wan finally understood who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked like just now, this queen was somewhat similar to his eyebrows, but this scheming was also extremely heavy.
Chi Xia was next to Chi Wan and saw her looking at the queen, and it was inevitable that she would not despise her in her heart.
"Attend the emperor, the queen." Everyone loves to kneel and salute.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked around, with a strong voice with majesty and domineering.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat."
"Your Majesty."
"Take a seat."
Everyone sat down in their seats one after another, and Chi Wan saw Xie Yutang standing beside the emperor, his eyes staring at Chi Wan, and the smile in his eyes did not decrease.
Chi Wan directly ignored it, there are many eyes and ears here, and if it is discovered, it will be a big crime.
"This year's flowers are in full bloom, and the palace likes it very much, not only can the courtiers like it." The queen smiled, and her phoenix eyes swept towards everyone.
The minister's daughter replied in unison: "Thank you to the queen, the courtiers are very happy." ”
"Well, if you like it, pick a few and use them as headdresses." After the queen finished speaking, she asked the palace maid to pick flowers.
Chi Wan remembered that there was a rule in this era, that is, women who had not left the pavilion could wear flowers every day, and she would not be excluded, but she rarely came out to meet people in the mansion, so naturally she would not bring such things.
What's more, flowers are basically non-existent in the place where she lives, where she is allowed to wear them.
However, in Chi Xia, the courtyard is full of all kinds of flowers, although it is not as good as the imperial garden in the palace, but there are still many types.
The last time the sisters got together in the house, Chi Mei, Chi Ai, and Chi Xin were also wearing them.
Only she was 'embarrassed'.
Soon the palace ladies all picked the flowers and sent them to the courtiers.
Chi Wan likes peonies, but after thinking about it, she stretched out her hand in front of Peony Words. Before I touched it, I was snatched by Chi Mei, and said with a smile: "My sister won't argue with my sister, my sister likes this flower very much." ”
"Naturally, my sister likes to take it." Ji Wan smiled, but there was a little regret in her eyes.
Seeing this, Chi Mei became even more proud.
Eat Love and Chi Xin chose their favorite daffodils and begonias.
Only peonies and lilies remain.
Chi Wan and Chi Xia glanced at each other, and Chi Wan smiled: "Sister, you choose first." ”
Chi Xia nodded, nodded very satisfied, stretched out his hand to touch the tulip, Chi Wan's eyes exuded a faint joy, seeing that Chi Xia's hand was about to touch the peony, he suddenly took the tulip away.
The joy in Ji Wan's eyes instantly turned into loss.
"Sister, I'm ......" Chi Wan looked like she was about to cry.
Chi Xia was the first to speak, her eyes were even more triumphant, and she said softly: "Sister, my sister also likes tulips, and my sister's dress today matches very well, my sister won't be reluctant." ”
Although Chi Wan was disappointed, she still nodded obediently, "Yes, my sister is very suitable for tulips." After saying that, he brought the peony to his head.
The hair bun, which was originally not decorated at all, was a little more elegant after being worn, but it was much brighter.
Xie Yutang could see Chi Wan's seat from above, and he could see her every move clearly from the beginning.
Mu Zhufeng also saw it clearly, but the loss in her eyes was cunning in his eyes.
He could see the glint in her eyes clearly.
Obviously, she likes peonies, but she is afraid that her sister will be chosen, so she deliberately points to other places.
This little cleverness made those few people and sisters play around.
After everyone has brought it, salute and thank you.
Zhao Wanru saw that Mu Zhufeng's eyes were looking at Chi Wan, her eyes were red, she picked up the teacup and drank the tea in the teacup, and drank it all.
She also wears peony flowers, why he refuses to look at her more.
Zhao Wanru didn't know if she was hot or angry, but she felt that her whole body suddenly became so hot, sweating, Zhao Wanru's mother noticed that something was wrong with her, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?" Like. ”
"Mother...... I ......" Zhao Wanru didn't finish her words, and fainted directly to the ground.
Zhao Wanru's mother shouted: "Wanru." ”
Everyone is attracted to this side.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat below, and when he saw someone fainting, he shouted directly: "There are assassins." As soon as the words fell, the surrounding Imperial Guards all ran over and formed a circle around the place.
The emperor frowned and said unhappily: "What happened?" ”
Xie Yutang stood beside the emperor, looked down, and replied, "Your Majesty, someone has fainted." ”
"Don't send a royal doctor yet." The queen took over.
The eunuch went directly to the imperial doctor.
Chi Xia and the others all looked over there, Chi Wan frowned, isn't this Zhao Wanru? How did I faint so well.
Chi Mei was a little scared, this is the palace, someone dares to poison in front of the saint, isn't this looking for death?
The Imperial Doctor quickly rushed over and directly let people spread out and let the air circulate more.
took out a silk handkerchief to check her pulse, and the more the imperial doctor took the pulse, the more ugly her face became. finally put down his hand, got up and said to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, this person has been poisoned by Gui Dove." ”
Everyone covered their mouths when they heard this, and everyone showed surprise.
Chi Wan frowned, Gui Dove's poison? It should be a bird in an extremely hot area, and its blood is highly poisonous, and even its feathers are covered with poison.
But there is a characteristic, that is, poisoning people is heat, when the water in the body disappears, people will die, to put it bluntly, they will die of dehydration.
"Is there a solution?" Although the queen was a little surprised, she was a queen after all, and she still had the demeanor she should have.
The Imperial Physician sighed and shook his head.
This poison was also recorded in medical books.
But the solution has not been found, because such poison is still rare.
Ji Wan didn't have too much expression when she looked at it, she didn't have a good impression of this woman in the first place, not to mention that if she really rescued her, I was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Mu Zhufeng didn't know when he walked behind her and said, "Not afraid? ”
"Why be afraid?" Ji Wan asked rhetorically, without looking back.
Mu Zhufeng laughed when he heard this.
Sure enough, it's interesting.
"Give me an investigation, and don't let go of any clues." The emperor was furious, today is a hundred flowers banquet, and someone actually poisoned him in front of him, isn't this a slap in the face?
Xie Yutang frowned, naturally seeing Chi Wan and Mu Zhufeng, he was a little depressed.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to protect the emperor, he would definitely rush to Chi Wan's face.
Zhao Wanru's mother was out of breath crying, not to mention how embarrassed she was.
"Like, you don't want to be fine."
The imperial physician asked, "Dare to ask Madame, what did the young lady eat?" ”
"Yes, I drank tea, and what I just drank was that cup of tea." When Zhao Wanru's mother heard this, she hurriedly pointed to the teacup on the table.
The doctor took it and smelled it, it did have a special taste, if it wasn't for the strong aroma of tea, it would be difficult to taste it.
"Who has a problem with this cup of tea."
When the emperor heard this, he shouted: "Who brought this cup of tea?" ”
The palace maids in the back knelt down in unison, their bodies trembled like chaff, and they said tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, it is a slave maid, but the slave and maid are all tea made from the same pot of water." ”
"Someone comes, push them down and torture them." The prince opened his mouth angrily and asked people to take him down.
Chi Wan frowned, took it away so hastily? If that palace maid was innocent, wouldn't she have died in vain?
"Wait, Your Highness the Prince." Xie Yutang interrupted the movements of the Imperial Forest Army and walked down directly from the emperor's side.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if it weren't for the palace maid's so-called, wouldn't she be a good person who was wronged, not to mention how could a woman be tortured, if she was so-called, would she stand here and wait for someone to arrest?" Xie Yutang asked rhetorically, and the cold voice echoed around, making many people couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The prince's heart was full of anger, but his face was full of anger: "What do you think? ”
"Everyone is suspicious, but there are many ways to poison them, and there are always clues."
The emperor nodded appreciatively, and looked at the prince with displeasure.
"Emperor, you are too impatient. Anything should not be impatient and too hasty, and what we have to do now is to have her. ”
The Imperial Doctor has been treating patients since he found him, and the only thing he has to do now is to prevent the poison from spreading.
Zhao Wanru's father also stood next to him with tears in his eyes, he only has this one daughter, and he can't have anything to do.
When Chi Xia saw Zhao Wan like this, her tears flashed with a hint of viciousness. looked at Chi Wan who was standing next to him and had a plan.
"Sister, what are you doing standing so far away? Aren't you a thief? Chi Xia's sudden voice successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone's eyes focused on Ji Wan's body.
Chi Wan frowned, obviously not expecting Chi Xia to say this.
Mu Zhufeng was standing behind Chi Wan, and naturally he also looked at him, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were even more angry when he looked at Chi Xia, what nonsense was this woman talking about.
Chi Xia looked bitter: "Sister, you just had an argument with Miss Zhao, even if you are angry, you can't treat Miss Zhao like this." ”
Chi Wan's heart suddenly burned with anger, okay you Chi Xia, I thought about sarcastically mocking her, but I didn't expect to send her to find death.
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about, I've always stood here, and I've been in contact with Miss Zhao's teacup there!" Chi Wan looked aggrieved.
When the emperor heard this, he walked over directly and asked angrily: "What is going on?" ”
Xie Yutang looked at Chi Wan with some concern, he believed that she would not be poisoned, because he was with him before, and when he came back, it was within the scope of the Chi family, and this woman was simply framing her.
Xie Yutang couldn't help but want to speak, but saw the warning in Chi Wan's eyes.
Although I was puzzled, I still stood there obediently.
"Back to the emperor, before Miss Zhao didn't know what to say, she came to find the courtiers, and opened her mouth to sarcastically mock the courtiers, and the courtiers went to the pool next to them to enjoy the lotus flowers as long as they stayed away."
Ji Wan knelt on the ground and said unhurriedly.
