"The emperor should have eaten something unclean, that's why he has diarrhea." The Imperial Doctor said!

"Unclean? The Queen Mother said, "How is it possible, the emperor's dinner was eaten at the mourning family, and the emperor ate everything the mourning family ate, so how could the mourning family be fine?" ”

At this time, the Queen Mother fell into deep confusion.

At this time, the imperial physician asked, "Where is the queen mother's dinner now?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "It has long been taken away by the people in the imperial dining room." ”

The crown prince hurriedly said: "Without further ado, please also ask the queen mother to order someone to stop the people in the imperial dining room, and Weichen must personally check the emperor's meal before making a decision." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she hurriedly ordered: Come on, hurry up and stop the people in the imperial dining room.

The guard at the door received the order and immediately moved.

With a cup of tea, the two guards brought back the two eunuchs who had just returned to the imperial dining room, and they were still holding the leftovers that had just been withdrawn from the Shoukang Palace.

Imperial Physician Wang took out the needle bag from the medicine box, took out a silver needle and measured it in each food, and all of them showed that it was non-toxic.

The Queen Mother stared closely at the side, her heart was up and down, but in the end, the silver needles gradually changed color in the bowl of soup base of Bazhen braised pork.

The Queen Mother was startled and took a sharp breath of cold air.

"Poisonous?"

The imperial doctor frowned slightly, and he carefully pulled it with chopsticks, but found that there was a senna in the soup base.

He carefully pinched it out, "Queen Mother, it is the culprit that caused the emperor's diarrhea." ”

"What is this?" The Queen Mother pointed to senna and said.

Doctor Wang said: "This medicine is called senna, it is a bitter cold thing, it has the effect of heat accumulation and stagnation, although it is a medicinal material, but it has a small poison. ”

"Senna? The Queen Mother couldn't help muttering, no wonder she tasted it and thought it tasted weird.

A trace of doubt appeared on her face, and she said, "But how can there be senna in the dish?" ”

Although the Queen Mother doesn't know medicinal materials, she still knows that senna can't be used as medicinal food.

Doctor Wang said: "One of the eight flavors of the herbs in Bazhen braised pork is fragrant, and the appearance of the fragrance is very similar to senna, and once you are not careful, you will be confused. ”

This dish was made by Wang De, Wang De has been in the palace for more than 40 years, and he is an old man in the palace, there is no reason to make such a low-level mistake, and it is not the first time he has made this Bazhen braised pork. How many people have touched a dish, it must be a new eunuch who mistakenly used senna as a bay leaf, but no matter who did it, the emperor was sick after all, she must find out who did it!

Thinking of this, she shouted, "Someone." ”

Several guards suddenly appeared in front of the Queen Mother, waiting for orders.

"The mourning family is limited to you within one hour, carefully investigate, and the culprit must be found out to the mourning family, and the mourning family will be punished heavily!" The Queen Mother looked very angry, and her voice became sharp.

After some investigation, it was found that only three people had been in contact with Bazhen braised pork from selection to cooking to dish, that is, Shen Da, Wang De and Cai Xiaodao.

After careful inquiry, it turned out that Shen Da was responsible for the selection of medicinal food, so the guards brought Shen Lanxin back to Anxi Palace.

At this time, it was already late at night, and Gao Xu learned that the emperor had a sudden emergency, so he also hurried to the Anxi Palace to visit.

When she came to the Anxi Palace, the Queen Mother had not yet left.

"Son-in-law, see Queen Mother." Gao Xu bowed slightly!

When the Queen Mother saw it, it was Gao Xu. "Why are you still here so late?"

Gao Xu said eagerly: "When Erchen heard that the imperial brother was sick, he was very worried, what happened to the imperial brother. With that, he glanced at the unconscious emperor.

The Queen Mother sighed lightly: "The imperial doctor said that he had acute diarrhea and had already taken medicine, but he had been to the hut so many times, his body was weak, and he still needed to recuperate." ”

Gao Xu was puzzled: "How can the imperial brother have acute diarrhea, but what unclean things have you eaten?" ”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother was very angry, "It's all the stupid things in the imperial dining room who mistakenly put senna into the medicinal diet." ”

When Gao Xu heard this, he frowned and said, "The people in the imperial dining room are so confused, have you found out which eunuch did it?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family has already ordered someone to investigate, and there will be news later." ”

"Then I'll be guarded by Erchen here tonight!" As soon as Gao Xu finished speaking, a guard hurriedly came in to report.

"Empress Dowager Qi, the eunuch involved has been found."

The Queen Mother said: "Bring this bastard in." ”

Shen Lanxin looked panicked, and didn't know what was happening, but just let the guards put him into the Anxi Palace.

Gao Xu was surprised when he saw that it was Shen Lanxin.

Shen Lanxin knelt in front of the Queen Mother, bowing her head, although she didn't know what was going on, but such a posture and this kind of atmosphere were definitely not a good thing.

"Are you guilty?" At this time, the queen was majestic, and the indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

Shen Lan was stunned, guilty? Her body couldn't help but tremble, she was stunned, she didn't know what crime she had committed, she was just about to rest, and suddenly broke into several guards and brought her without saying a word.

She lowered her head and said tremblingly: "The slave doesn't know, and I ask the Queen Mother to make it clear." ”

"Be bold ......" the Queen Mother scolded, "You handled the selection of this bowl of Bazhen braised pork?" ”

Shen Lan was terrified in his heart.

The guards on the side brought the leftovers of Bazhen's braised pork to her.

Shen Lanxin raised his eyes and looked at it, and said softly: "That's right, it's the slave who is in charge." ”

The Queen Mother asked again: "Then you also put senna in?" ”

Senna? Shen Lan's heart fluttered, "The slave didn't put senna in the braised meat." ”

Gao Xu stood aside, not interjecting, but listening carefully to the ins and outs of the whole thing.

The Queen Mother said angrily: "You still don't admit it? Give the mourning family a heavy slap. At this time, a guard threw it towards Shen Lanxin's face, the guard's strength was great, and suddenly Shen Lanxin was beaten by him and sat on the ground, his hat was also thrown to the ground, and his long hair fell.

Gao Xu's hands tightened, and his eyebrows furrowed.

The Queen Mother was stunned, glared at her and stammered, "You, you, who the hell are you?" Actually disguised as a man and mixed into the palace? ”

Shen Lan felt bad in her heart, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, she didn't expect her daughter's body to be exposed at this moment, she didn't expect that now, she couldn't admit it if she wanted to, so she simply admitted it.

hurriedly said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the slave's name is Shen Lanxin, and she is a woman who disguises herself as a man to enter the palace in order to learn art." ”

"Apprenticeship?" The Queen Mother said incredulously.

At this time, Gao Xu's mind turned around.

"Yes, Queen Mother, she is actually a maid in the Erchen Mansion, just because she wants to learn this dish, so the Erchen will send her to the imperial dining room to study."

Shen Lan didn't expect that at this moment, the black-faced god would actually speak for him, so he echoed: "That's right, it was the slave and the maid who begged the prince to let the prince send the slave and maid into the palace." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, King Qing would actually speak for her, a prince had no reason to lie for a servant, and he couldn't fake it if he wanted to, so he couldn't help but believe his words.

The Queen Mother said angrily. "Although you are from Qingwangfu, the emperor will have diarrhea after eating braised pork with senna by mistake, and you can't escape the blame."

Shen Lan's heart trembled as he listened. "Impossible, Queen Mother, although the medicine is prepared by the slave, but the slave maid did not put senna, that senna is a medicine for diarrheal fever and stagnation, how could the slave put it in the braised pork."

Shen Lanxin never admitted that he had put senna.

The Queen Mother said lightly: "The mourning family takes care of you working under the hands of Wang Yuchu, so I will interrogate you in person, otherwise, the mourning family will directly send you to the prison, and you will still be left here to waste your tongue with the mourning family, the soup is in front of you, you see for yourself, the mourning family has always been convincing people with reason, and the mourning family has wronged a subordinate, Xu'er, is what the mourning family said wrong?" After speaking, he looked at Gao Xu.

"What the Queen Mother said is very true." King Qing said.

As soon as she heard the Queen Mother say this, Lan Xin even insisted to avoid some doubts, she stretched out her hand to pick up the scraps of braised pork, and really saw the senna that the Queen Mother said.

Shen Lanxin couldn't help but be shocked, how could this be, how did the fragrance turn into senna? Although she was not a doctor, she knew that senna could not be used as a medicinal diet, so how could she knowingly commit it.

At this time, Gao Xu opened his mouth. "Did you accidentally mix up the two herbs?"

"No way, how could I not even tell the difference between senna and bay leaves, although the two are very similar, but I am sure that at that time...... Speaking of this, Shen Lan remembered that although the medicine was prepared by her, but later, before she had time to match the two flavors of medicinal materials, she went to send soup to Gao Xu, and those two flavors were fragrance and angelica.

But she can't confess Master Wang! As soon as I remembered that Master Wang was old, he was going to return to his hometown, but don't go out of the fork at this time, in case he is being punished, he is afraid that he will be ruined in the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, since the matter has come to this point, she can only bear this charge, otherwise if it continues like this, Master Wang will definitely be implicated.

Gao Xu keenly noticed that her expression was different, so he asked, "Why don't you continue?" Are you sure you didn't make a mistake or ...... Someone else? He had been watching her expression from beginning to end.

At this moment, I only heard Shen Lanxin say: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the slave and maid deserve to die, it is the slave and maid who accidentally confused the fragrance with the two medicinal materials of senna, which caused the emperor's dragon body to be damaged, and the slave and maid are willing to suffer all punishments." ”

When Gao Xu heard this, he was still arguing for himself just now, but why did he suddenly change his words, he felt a little unbelievable.

"Why didn't you admit it just now? Will this suddenly change his tune? Gao Xu's sentences cut to the heart of the matter.

Shen Lan's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and became weak.

When did this person become so much nonsense, he had to get to the bottom of it, Shen Lan couldn't help muttering in his heart.

In the face of Gao Xu's sharp interrogation, Shen Lanxin pretended to be calm. "Just now, because of a momentary urgency, the slave didn't admit it, but now that I think about it, it is indeed the slave's negligence."

Gao Xu scoffed at this, obviously not believing it.

The Queen Mother said lightly: "Since the matter is clear, someone will send this person to the prison, punish him with a rod for fifty years, and execute him in three days." ”

When Shen Lan heard this, he was dumbfounded.

Fifty rods? Why can't you get along with the board in this life! Ten boards last time were enough for her to choke, and this time she is estimated to be crippled in the second half of her life if she doesn't die.

Lan's face was as dead as ashes, and he let the guards drag him down.

Gao Xu watched Shen Lanxin being dragged out, and couldn't help frowning.
